MEETING LEGION
MEN SARASOTA
VERY IMPORTANT

West Palm Beach. July 17.-State
Commander Jerome f. Wideman of
the American Legion, Department of
| Florida has called a meeting of the
executive committee embracing the
entire state organization for Friday,
of this week. July 81 1922 at Sarasota
| this session being considered one of
more than primary importance to the
development of Florida and its future.
1t is becoming n matter of state wide
interest that the Legion Is introduce
ing for the first time in another state,
Il comprehensive program Of eXploita-
tion and publicity during the National
Convention of the American Legion to
be held at New Orleans in October.
According to Commander Wideman.
the outstanding feature of this prog
ram will be an extensive Florida ex-
hibit at the convention arrangements
having been completed in New Or
leans for the display space and adj
vertising features and plans advanced
by the state department to this end
are conceded to be conducive to al
most limitless results in boosting
Floridd and giving citizens of all
parts of the United States better
idea of its climatic advantages and
products as compared with other part
of this country.
Hundreds OF thousands of Florida
pecans and thousands of Florida or
anges will be given away during the
convention. Truck loads OF golden
fruit will be distributed along the
line of march of the big parade thru
the main streets of New Orleans and
the products of Florida will be ex-
plotted in a hundred different ways.
The American Legion is not fl
nancially able to pay the expenses in
connection with this publicity" said
Commander Wideman in speaking of
the general plan. THE men will be
glad to do the work, but it is ne
cessary that the funds to defray the
expenses be subscribed throughout
the state if our plan for advertising
Florida is to be fully executed. Sara
sofa, Tallahassee, Lake Worth, Delray
Vero and West Palm Beach have al
ready raised their financial quota
Two counties have oversubscrbed,
and the additional funds will be need
ed to take care of counties failing
to raise their full quota.

from publicity pending the arrest of
Martin.
The auto reached Lakeland Friday

TWO men SHOT
BY KISSIMMEE
NEGRO SUNDAY
Gene Rineheart Dead and Stewart
Ivey At Point of Death In
Orlando Hospital

Kissimmee, Fla, July 17.-Gene
Rineheart is dead and Stewart Ivey
lays at the point of death in a hos
pital in Orlando as the result of an
attack here last night from a negro
who the authorities believe to be Os-
car Meek, and for whom every county
and city official in central Florida is
on the hunt.
Rineheart and Ivey are Kissimmee
men and were driving their car
through the negro district when the
shooting took place. Rineheart was
killed instantly and Ivey has been too
ill to be interviewed. Details of the
affair are meagre. 1t is said Meek
outbid several white bidders for a
contract to carry mail from the depot
to the postoffice, and prior to the
shooting had received a letter notify
ing him to leave town within twenty
four hours. 1t is thought the shooting
grew out of the letter.

RIAL V7REAT GROWS
IN MELLETTE COUNTY

George Moore, just south OF town,
las been thrcshing his small grain
crop the past week and his Macaronl
wheat yielded right in the neighbor-
hood of twenty five bushels per acre,
and the quality of the wheat is some
thing great--it weighs out - pounds
TO the measured bushel, or Just twelve
pounds over weight. The Editor
came from the great Kansas wheat
belt to Mellette county, and we do
not remember of ever hearing Of
wheat running quite as heavy as this
wheat that Mr.. Moore grew on Mel
lette county soil. His oats yielded
about thirty-five bushels to the acre.
All OF his small grain is nice and
plump and he is well satisfied with
his WELL, which totalled considerably
more than he had granary room for,
and he had to hustle around and get
additional storage room for his big
crop at some of his neighbors'. You
Just bet this country will grow small
grain of mighty fine quality.

OUR TOURIST PARK

II is not very long now until our
Fair, and the probability is that there
viii be number of visitors here at
that time that will want to camp.
1t is but meet that we should have
our new tourist camp ground in the
best possible shape by that time. In
the latter part of July we had
cleanup dav and the grounds were
put in very nice condition as far as
cleaning up the weeds and the under
brush was concerned. Then the big
flood came, and We have all been so
busy that We have not done much
since.
We must fence the grounds before
they can be thrown open to the public
and used as they should be used, and
We ought to have a well. There has
been nice sign painted and it should
be erected at the entrance. Arrange
ments Tor few tables and benches
should also be made. In order to ac-
conplish at least d few Of the things
We hereby call another all-day meeting
tor Friday, September l, and ask all
that are interested in this new enter
prise to come prepared to give days
,@ork. The principal object Of this
days work will Be to build fence
dividing the park from the rest of the
Government reserve, so bring along

project that is sure to prove good

popular place of recreation for our
own people
Some plan of raising sufficient
money to pay for the necessary fenc-

APOTHEOsIs OF HYPOCRISY

THE government goes right on
ignoring the prohibition law on sea
while making some ineffective ef-
forts to enforce it on land, " remarked
August Busch Of Anheuser-Busch,
Inc, when he arrived last week from
Europe. Mr.. Busch further stated
that passengers on the George Wash
ington discussed the buying Of liquor
from the government on board the
ship and then inviting the govern
ment to arrest and prosecute them
when they reached shore.
1t would certainly be nice legal
question as to whether the govern
ment could use money from the Uni
ted States Treasury to sell liquor on
its ships at a profit and then prose
cute a purchase for violation of the
law.
1t is true the government is in al
awkward position. The Shipping
Board is spending thousands Of dol
lars to stimulate passenger traffic,
but much OF the money is wasted
because a dry ship has a hard time
to win travellers.
The majority of the people of the
United States may be dry but they
don t travel the ocean enough to back
up an American Merchant Marine
along lines Of moral conduct.
Official dignitaries who publicly
cspCusc prohibition have their cellars
the private room at the public banquet
is a recognized factor at all success
ful dinners. Even the Offices OF
some OF our congressman are said to
he storehouses for booze.
Summed up, the country stands to
I day the apotheosis of hypocrisy.
The American Merchant Marin,
seems to rest in the balance, bu'
hypocrisy will sink the ships quickel
: than ary restriction.
Let us hare enforcement c- repeal
enc hing or the Other.
