A perturbation Of James NJ. Bar

ton directed with infinite taste by
Penrhyn Stanlaws, and presents the
charming star in the role made ia

production is praiseworthy in every
particular and is certain TO enthuse
all those fortunate enough to see it.
1t is type of story Of the fine, clean
and wholesome plays that are so
much desired. II presents a story
of a town that was all upset till a
gypsy girl came and-upset it some
more. Barrie presents this story
charmirgly and eloquently. He pic
lures the snug village Of ThIums with
its, stern, religious people. It is a
play that has been enShrined in the
hearts of millions. Its love, charm
and thrilling events are perfectly re-
corded upon the screen.

EAST AND WEST
REST FROM BIC
FOOTBALL CANES

Chicago, Oct. 30.-The west has
been cast and conquered; the east
has come west and won; and the cur
tain has fallen on the classics of in
tcr-sectional football. 1t may stay
for a long, long time, but never so
long that the east or the west will
forget what happened.
Princeton's 21-to-18 victory over
Chicago has gone into football histo-
~ with Yale's 6-to-0 defeat Iowa
and the east and west, the Big
Three" and the Big Ten" in a way
are on ever terms. The close mar
gins of victory in both games make
it so. The experts may dwell at
length on technique and style and
other fundamentals, but it will not
change the scores. The greatest
fundamental of football is football
"as is"
With the decks cleared for the
championship race in the big ten,
five teams remain undefeated by
conference rivals. Only two games
this week are strictly conference af-
fairs, with the Wisconsin-Minnesota
clash at Minneapolis, the most i'm
portant from a big ten viewpoint.
Neither eleven has swallowed de-
feat, although Minnesota was given
a bit of taste in the tie game with
Northwestern. The Badgers, idle
last Saturday, have played but one
game.
Northwestern meets Illinois at
Urbana in the only other conference
game next Saturday. Both Chicago
and Iowa will be idle, and Michigan,
the other of the five leaders, plays
the Michigan Aggies at Ann Arbor.

Riley's Name Will
Be Printed on the
Official Ticket


I By order of the county commits
sioners the name of R. r. Riley will
appear on the official ticket of Put
nam county to be voted next Tuesday
along with the name of W. S. Cav
| thomas candidate of public inc
struction.
Both candidates were forced to Sc
cure the placing of their names on
the ballot through the petition plan,
the state democratic executive conf
mittee refusing to take any decisive
stand when the names of the candi-
dates came before the late session of
that body-which was held in Jack
sonville.
In compliance with the law regard
ing elections Mr.. Cawthon, the Sc
lection of Governor Hardee, to fill
the vacancy caused by death, pre-
scented in all counties petition
signed by more than five hundred
people, five hundred being the min
imum numebr allowable His petit
tons were originals in all instances
and there has been no county in
which his name was refused place
on the ticket.
The petitions of Mr.. Riley pre-
scented to the commissioners of the
various counties bore more than the
stipulated number of signatures
but they were typewriter copies of
the original signatures, sworn to by
the candidate as being true and cor
rect prescriptions. There were
counties in which the commissioners
threw out the name because attor-
neys for the board gave an opinion
that the requirements of the law
were not complied with by present
ing "copies" of the signatures in
stead of Originals"
Putnam county commissioners de-
cided that to refuse the petition of

is PARADISE OF "RATTLERS'
Pushing Out of Razorback Hog Re.
sponsihle for Multitude Of Snakes
in North Carolina.

The mountainous sections of North
Carolina are great breeding places for
snakes and some of the regions are
now inclosed in national forest areas.
Twenty years ago rattlesnakes were
quite scarce in the North Carolina
mountains. Those were the days when
razorbaCk hogs, one Of the greatest
of snake exterminat0rs. were for
midable part Of the states porcine pop

Then along came George w. Van,
derbilt, who purchased 10000 acres Of
this mountainous country and fenced
it, driving out the raZOrbacks and per
hitting the brush to grow. The TOXa-
way company followed Mr.. Vanderbilt,
acquiring 10000 acres adjoining his
holdings.
The exodus of razorbaCks from so
large an area has resulted in re.
markable increase of rattlesnakes,
North Carolinians declare that there
were never so many in their state as
now.
Forestry service men in newly ac-
Quired areas In North Carolina and
other southern states have reported
the presence of a tremendous number
of rattlerS. One Washington official,

Speeding Driver
Causes Death of
Young Tampa Girl

Tampa, Oct. 30-Miss Dayse Can
non, daughter of Greene F. Cannon,
manager of one of the largest brick
manufacturing cancerns in the south,
received injuries in an automobile ac-
cident yesterday from which she died
three hours later
With her mother, who was driving,
the girl, IA years of age, was on the
way to visit friends, when the APP
proach of a speeding automobile fore
ed Mrs. Cannon to turn sharply. The
car skidded into the curb and struck
telephone pole.
A silver of glass from the broken
windshield cut a deep cash in Miss
Cannon's neck, severing an artery.
Although a passing motorist render
ed first aid and took the young girl
at once to the hospital, all efforts to
save her life, including TRANSMISSION of
more than pint of blood from her ia
theirs arm, were unavailing.
The driver of the car that caused
the accident sped on toward the
city, not even pausing 70 learn the
extent of damage.
The Cannons formerly lived in
Jacksonville where they have many
friends and relatives. They came to
Tampa about eight years ago. Mr..
Cannon is manager of the Florida
Nutex Brick Co., and is prominent
in Masonic circles and in the Shrine,
Miss Cannon was an artistic and
fancy dancer of unusual attachments
for so young a girl. She was a star
performer at several amateur enter
tainments last winter, particularly in
the Follies.

KING COAL STILL WIELDS HIS
SCEPTRE.

Montreal is getting from the United
States all the anthracite coal it needs.
Househoders pay Sl6 a ton for it,"
Thus remarked a Montreal business man,
recent caller at The Courier Gazette
office. This confirms the complaint made
by Governor Baxter, who vigorously de-
nounced the attitude of the Federal Fuel
Distributor in permitting such out of the
country shipments before Maine had been
supplied in advance of the ice and snow
embargo that every winter we have to
reckon with. Governor Baxter is very
much in earnest in his endeavors to pro-
tect our people in this period of threatened
stress. Last week he sent to Gov. Sproul
OF Pennsylvania, Chairman Alney of the
fuel commission of that State and Federal
Fuel Distributor Spens this message:
Our dealers and our people need coal
and are counting on securing ii at prices
named by the Federal Fuel Distributor
and the Pennsylvania Fuel Commi sion
and we do not want to pay excessive
prices charged by Spectators and broker.
Can you offer US any relief2
Gov. Sproul replied that he had request
ed his State chairman of fuel distribution
to take up with Maine's. Governor the
question Of ell af asked for. The people
OF Maine W II highly commend Governor
baxter's efforts to secure them proper
protection.

TEN INFLUENCES WHICH HAVE
SHAPED THE EVOLUTION OF MAN
Electrical World }

Students of ethnology say that there
have been ten great fundamental influ-
ences that have shaped the evolution of
man. First came fire; second, the bow
and arrow; third, pottery; fourth, domes-
tic animals; then lion smelling, then
writing, then gunpowder, then printing,
then steam, then electricity.
In turn each of these great inventions
or discoveries has greatly influenced mans
mode OF living and his thinking. Each
has put into operation new forces that
have touched life in some vital spot
Folio wing the impulse of the new idea,
habits have been changed, hardships have
been softened, the mental horizon has
been lifted, and life itself has taken on a
broader purpose and new meaning
Electricity has brought into the world
not Just a new kind of light and power
and heat. These are but the agencies by
W ich it works. Rather, say it has best
owed upon man safety and peace fo- his
cities, infinite relief to his labors, limit
less expansion to his industries, comfort
for his home, new ease OF transportation,
contact with all the world through uni
versal intercommunicatlon.

OUR PROBLEM

What shall we do about III 1t is a
simple problem of plain common sense.
Our American market is the best on
earth-better for us than all foreign mar
kets put together. Our total export bust
ness, even in normal times, was but a
small fraction of our domestic commerce
and foreign markets are now poor and
meager.
Highly paid labor working short hours
cannot compete with low paid labor
working long hours, even in our own
rich and ample markets; and the idea OF
out. selling Europe in her starved and
limited markets is mathematical abb
surdty.
To open American markets to foreign
made goods and attempt the capture OF
European markets by American-made
goods means that we will give our mar
kets to European producers and not get
European markets for American produc-
ers 1t would be like the fable of he dog
that lost the bone he had trying to seize
its reflection in the water.

TO BAN TRUCKS ON MAINE ROADS

The state highway commission an
nounced today that at a meeting last
week consideration was given to the
question of closing state and state aid
highways against heavy traffic. 1t is the
judgment of the commission that all i'm
proved highways should be protected
against heavy traffic as soon after Nov
Is as conditions may warrant, and it is
the intention of the commission to issue
such orders
The commission hopes that all whQ
have heavy hauling to do will see to get
ting the work done at once. It is the
opinion of the commission that the most
damage is done to the oad surfaces dur
ing thawing conditions after freeze.
Another matter passed on by the COM
mission at its meeting was the question
of a system of federal aid highways.
Under legislation passed by Congress
within year, it is necessary that each
state highway depattmentAgree with the
secretary of agriculture on system OF
federal aid highways which shall not ex
coed seven per cent. OF the entire high
way mileage of the state, exclusive OF
streets in cities and villages.
