Howard, Elgin Morris, J. F. Dowis,
 Local deputy sheriffs yesterday located what is said to be one of the largest twin stills ever found in Jeff ferson county. The still and 5000 gallons of mash and beer, about 100 gallons of whisky and hundreds of cans, jugs and about 75 wooden bar rels, were captured, with about 30 gallons of whisky brought back to the sheriffs office, as evidence. The still was located on the top of Shades mountain, near Aldrich Villa.
 The still was in full operation when the officers ran upon it yesterday about noon, five men being at work at and around the still, all of whom escaped when the officers were heard coming up a steep hill at the ap- preach of the still. Two of the five

Press Gang Comment
on "Th0rn S" Change
MAY He Live Forever"

"Old Thorn" has severed his con-
nection with The Kissimmee Valley
Gazette. He has been editing The
Gazette for a year or more and has
greatly increased the subscription
and business of that paper. Thorn
has stayed in Kissimmee longer than
his friends anticipated, for his pecu-
liar abilities need larger outlet
than Kissimmee can furnish. Mr..
Thorn will be associated with The
Daily News at Palatka hereafter,
and no doubt his clever sayings and
witty comments will be found of
great value to that paper. A. Thorn
is one of the best informed newspa-
per men, on general topics, that can
be found in Florida, and he possesses
the good will and friendship of all
newspaper men in the state. Hers

have any grudge against the pretty

once a week. Of course, the old ras-

1--WE All Love Him"

Widespread comment by the state
press is being made on the departure
of W. L. Thorndyke from the edito-
rial chair of The Kissimmee Gazette
to take the post of managing editor
of Goode Guerry's Palatka's Daily
News. Perhaps it was the call to
daily service that appealed to Thorn,
or mayhap he preferred the waters
of the St. Johns to those of Lake
Tehopekiliga. Well, it makes little
difference to his associates of the
fourth estate; we all love him and
admire his brilliant writings whether
they be, dated from Kissimmee, or
Palatka or any other good town in

Kiwanis Had Big
Time Hearing Gay

Kiwanias who were unable to go to
the district convention at Jackson
vile last week had some sidehghts
on the antics of those who did go, all
of it coming out at the evening meet
ing held last night at the James no.
tel when the three gay Lotharios who
went began to make their reports.
Cliff Loveland, Harrison Hickenloo-
per and Ed Caldwell were the dele
gates, and Ed Caldwell started the
trouble for himself and the others
when he charged Cliff Ioveland with
spending all of his time wigwagging
twist and twirl who sat near him at
the banquet and in the convention
hall.
Cliff colored up as if someone had
questioned the veracity Of his story
about the alligator swallowing his
mule, and said that he thought Eds
eyes were a good deal sharper thar
his, and that he seemed to carry :
little more weight with the light anG
airy danes.
Harrison Hickenlooper insisted that
there were some other important
matters at the convention, but he
did not mention them. But aside
from the levity the meeting was one
of the best that the Ki's have held il
long while. Cliff Loveland's ser

A TARIFF BAIT THAT FAILED

From the Kansas City Times.
 Senator McCumber and the republican, or ganization in the Senate may see in the North Dakota primary some evidence that special leg islation does not always get the results expect ed from it. The Senate organization had counted strongly on the pending tariff law to hold the farmer vote in line for the chairman of the committee that framed it.
 The tariff bill was industriously exhibited before the North Dakota voters as a farmers tariff, and Senator McCdmber's activity in pressing it's passage and his championship of the agricultural interests supposed to be in- voved in it's schedules, were the special pleas urged in behalf of his renomination. It was not thought possible that an appeal to special beneficiaries of tariff law could fail
 But apparently the farmers were not inter- ested. Possibly they have had too much ex- perience with tariffs. Possibly they had come to see that obstacles to foreign trade are not what will help America to prosperity today.
 At least the result is discouraging to Con gress that was depending on the tariff as one of the main means for charming the voters in the approaching campaign.

NO UNEASINESS CAUSED BY
 RAILROAD STRIKE

The public is not alarmed by the railway shopmens strike, nor is it taking more than a passing interest in this latest rupture be- tween the railroads and their employees. There is general feeling that a settlement will soon bs reached, but whether that happens or not, there s no likelihood that railroad traffic in the United States will ever again be tied up or threatened with anything of the sort.
 The railroad executives are charged with ignoring rulings of the labor board, along with the unions. Unquestionably both sides have been at fault, but the railroads are too irn- portant to the nation to permit labor disputes to rob the American people of their transpor- tation facilities, the right to live and to carry on their business.
 The labor board, unfortunately, has no power to enforce it's decrees. It has ,a placed in an extremely awkward position for that reason. Although an agency created by law to arbitrate differences between the rail roads and the railroad workers. either side can flout it's decisions with impunity. In time this deficiency will be remedied by Congress.

LEAVING THE SHOW

William Allen White, in Judge.
 Twenty thousand people committed sui eide last year in the United States; which fact seems to be reflection upon our we'll ordered life. It would seem that the great panorama which history is unfolding before us day by day, forever beckoning with its tomor- rows and turing us with big events just around the corner from today-it would seem that that gripping panorama ought to hold us all in our seats upon this planet We may be hungry, we may be forsaken, we may be cold, sick. uhlovely and unloved, and yet it would seem that the daily story of life about us, the great tragic events that are looming before us in Europe and in Asia, and the great comedy that should cramp our sides with anguished laughter here in America, should hold us tightly upon the planet. Yet 20,o0o of us have voluntarily got up and walked out, left the show cold and flat, and for what? Perhaps they are going to the big show, perhaps they are only going to bed. But they are missing a mighty good thing, nevertheless The spin ming world never before has held so much to charm the eye and engross the soul as it holds today.

WISE MARKETING ALL THAT COTTON PRODUCER NEEDS

The state agricultural statistician reports 8 cotton crop condition of 6s compared with ono of 59 at this time last year; an acreage some- what in excess of last years; a prospective yield of 767 ,ooo bales compared with 5se,oo0 in 1921, and estimates the value of this crop at present prices at s2s,0oo,ooo in excess of the 1921 crop.
 The government estimates crop of II ,420,- 900 bales, compared with 7,953,ooo bales last year. The visible supply is 4,s14,ooo bales, compared with e,556,OOo at this time last year, and exports have been 5,4s8,000 bales, com pared with 4,77s,oooo bales last season.
 The price of niddling cotton reached B cents in New York July 8, compared with II 1-2 cents year ago.
 Cotton is altogether in a very favorable sit- uation. The producer faces marketing sea- son which, if handled with judgment, will bring better results than have ever been ob- tained. The marketing associations, financed by the government aid, are in a position to deal directly with the large buyers and secure the full market price at lowest cost to the pro- ducer.
 If the producer this year realizes that cot- ton is grown in order to be marketed for the money that enables a to go ahead with his business the same as pig iron, lumber, steel and leather, he will achieve the same re- suits as other well-ordered business enter prises do. The object should be to market advisedly, get the money for the product and turn over that money as is the custom of mer- chants and manufacturers.

kNIcHTHooD RUN TO SEED

From the New York World.
 Awards of royal birthday honors in Eng land are not usually the object of such con- temptuous characterization as that which the London Outlook visits on the latest distribu- tion of titles by King George. Tt is of course no new complaint" says the Outlook, "that the honors list is disfigured by rich melodies (whose) main activities have been no less and no more self-regardng, no less and no more worthy of respect than those of any fried fish shopkeeper in the Old Kent road"
 Sir Harry Mallaby-Deeley, who went al- truistically, though not without advertise ment, into cheap trousers, may have higher claims as a trading philanthropist, but why any man should receive 8 baronetcy for his invest ments in war loans passes our comprehension. Then we have the case of Sir Edward Sharp, described as "head of the firm that bears his name,' and president of the National Sum day School union. Which won the Sharp boronetcy, toffee the Sunday schoolsf
 The editor of small naval paper. the own CT of small weekly journal and the author of patriotic" poems, designated as "bosh," are among those decorated with knighthood. This comment is mild beside some expressions rom the COlohieBs. An AusbEhfldH kHlSHtHoou is described by local labor conference as an insult In South Africa General Shuts was obliged to tell the House of Assembly that the government had nothing to do with title just granted; and Sir Joseph Robinson of Cape Town has begged King Georges permission to decline peerage.
 In Canada the Parliament has opposed the further distribution of titles among citizens of the dominion. Decorations do not accord with western democracy. The glamour of ''the belted knight' has pretty well evaporated from titles bestowed by the sovereign in rec ogntion of public services devoid of the att tributes of nobility or intellectually.

PASSING OF THE DoUGHBoY

From the Bloomington Daily Pantograph.
 The man with the rifle and bayonet was the one who brought glory to the American army in the World war. He was the man who drove the enemy out of the Argonne and stopped tho last desperate drive on Paris.
 And now, Says Major General Harbord, he is almost extinct. Congress has been emascu- lating the American army until there is none or practically none--left of the bone and sinew of our great fighting force.
 Every time Congress takes whack at the army to prune down to "neace basis,' it is the buck private who gets it in the neck. There are fewer of him now than there were before the World war. The buck private numbered 57,o0o just prior to April, 1917, and in the mere skeleton of the army which is now left there are only 47,000 doughboys.
 The skeetonized army has it's quota of of- ficers and men of special fighting units, the artillery, the gas department the air service and what not, but plain soldiers, men with gun and bayonet, are almost non est.
 General Harbord protests against this con tinued reduction of the backbone of the army, and the opinion of practical military man should have at least some weight as against the professional whittlers in Congress.

THE BLuE-DoMED MOSQUE AT KAzvIN

From "Holy Places of the Orient" by Mary
 Elizabeth Titzel, in Asia Magazine for July.
 The bue-domed mosque of the Imam Shah zada HusaiA, at Karzin, carries on tradition that extends back to the days of the Sassanid Sultans of Persia, back even to the remoter times of Assyria. The cupola and the ogive, distinctive marks of Moslem architecture, be it in Egypt or India or Turkey, had their orgi- in Mesopotamia, where wood for rafters and iintels has always been scarce and construc- ton has been chiefly in brick. The minarets that rise gracefully above every Mohamme- dan city have been reflected through time from the Chaldean observatories and the Tower of Babel. The rich ornamentation of enani- eled tiles on dome and walls and the over lay of brilliant metals that marks the lofty cu- polas of many mosques, are also heritages from antiquity. The columns of mosque interiors are derived from classic Greece and Rome. The designs worked in tiles or in stucco may in many cases be traced back to ancient mod els, and they are found, repeated over and over again, in the pottery, the textiles, the carpets of the east. The wars of the Crescent car ried this architecture into the west through Spain and Byzanium; into the east through India. Its influence may be traced in build ings the world over.
