The IDEAL NeMSnanar

A newspaper publisher, wishing TO
please his readers, asked for sugges-
tons. How can l make mine the
ideal newspaper" he inquired. Cut
out the crimes, the murders, the SEN
sational divorce case reports" said
the nice people. Cut out the acci-
dents, the railway and steamship dis
aster' said the people who couldn't
bear" to read such things. "Cut out
the politics." said the old-fashioned
woman, Il don't understand it, and
haven't time for it," "Cut out the
league of nations and all heavy stuff"
yawned the tiappers of both sexes.
What's it all about, anyway" "Cut
out the so-called funny pictures" said
the careful mother Such pictures
aren't funny, and they're bad, very
bad. for children" "Cut out the
ponderous editorials" snapped the
man who merely scans the headlines.
Nobody reads 'em nowadays" Cut
out the. .woman's page" said the fe-
male with the strong mind. It's
mushy, trashy, trivial; an insult to
our SEX" "Cut out sports and
theatres" said t h e intellectual.
Both are bad influences, and both
have received altogether too much at
tention." Cut out" began another
and still another but the publisher
beat them to it. stop, all of you"
he cried. "On second thought, have
decided to cut out myself. 1t is no
use trying to publish the ideal news
paper until l come across the ideal
reader" Saying which, he shut up
shop and went into the wholesale
saxaphone business for rest.-Leslie's

Nothing seemed to have been left
to make this the most enjoy

was in truth one of great pleasure
to all who attended.

noon, declaring they had never in
joyed themselves more, for which
they were truly grateful to their
popular hostess and delightful honor

State Division

This question is being raised seTi.
ously at this time, but is somewhat
mixed up with the question of capital
removal, and the whole issue is some
what clouded by conflicting interests
that are after the capital site. If the
southern cities quarrel over this issue
there will be no action on either ques-
ton. Possibly neither issue has a
hope OF success. The northern part
of the state, with less population, con-
trolls both houses of the Legislature,
and these lawmakers refuse to obey
the mandates of the constitution,
which says that there shall be a reap
portionment of representation every
ten years. If the constitution were
obeyed, the south would have the
prepOnderance Of votes and either is
sue could be brought about in such
case. The two parts of the state
have little interest in common, that
of the north being agriculturally de-
voted to general farming, while in
the south farming is specialized, cen
tering largely on citrus fruit and
vegetable production. The south is
and growing; the north
is the opposite. The south has built
thousands of miles of hard roads, the
north very few miles, and now that
The state is helping build roads the
ponderance of the money is being
spent in the rorth on roads that do
not make connection with the fine

fought over taxation without repre-
ventat'on and while there will be no
war in this case, the question is a

Cattle Situation Very Bad

The more we talk with the cattle
men of this part of the state the more
we become concerned over the future
of the cattle business around here.
There is very little market for the
Florida cattlemen to 90 to, and what
little there is, is cut off by the opera
tion of the quarantine, with con-
sequence that the cattle have inCreas-
ed to such an extent that the cattle
men are alarmed over the prospects
during the summer. We are told
that when the cattle get so numerous
there is not enough pasturage for
them, and that, as a result, they be

A Russian Bandit
Dies With Boots on


Tamboff, Russia, August 16.-
Alexander Antonoff, whom his fol-
lowers considered in the light of a
reincarnatcd Robin Hood, but whom
the soviet government cIassed as a
Jesse James, fought to the last when
surrounded and killed by the state
police at his hiding place in a tiny
village near Tamboff late in June.
Antonoff once was in the Old Rus
sian army. When the bolsheviki took
power he opposed them and, gather
ing about him thousands of follow
ers-fast horsemen from the Steppes
he harassed the red army in the
south OF Russia for several years.
Last September Antonoff's last
band was broken up by the reds. Fer
months the state police sought OFT
his hiding place. Finally some of
his former confederatcs were prom
ised amnesty and betrayed him.
Early one June evening eight men
led by Policeman Pol;ulukiu came to
the hut of a peasant woMlr, Marie
Katosanoya, whose name will 20
down in the fantastic legends sur
rounding the life Of AntUnoSf. In this
hut in the thick woods near the River
Verona, Antonoff was hiding. The
police called to her and she came out
OF the house denying Antonoff was
thcre. No soonen had the woman
turned away than TIVE mcn started
firing upon the police from the win
dowa Of Tie hut. Peasants, uGtra,tei
by the shooting, ran to the Village
church &a1 rang The bells 2~j hun
drad Of peasants acma& themselves
with sticks and stones and formed a
Gordon about the hut
For several hours the battle con-
tinueI dntil, with night at hand, the
police ran very short Of ammunition.
Two Of them crept up to the house
and set the roof on fire. AS smoke
began to pour out Of the windows two
men broke from the house and start
ed running toward the woods. With
each step they turned to fire their
revolvers at the police. They had
almost reached the woods when they
were shot down. Their bodies were
Immediately identified, one being the
famous chieftain, and the other his
brother, Dimitri Antonoff.
To convince the population that
the bandits never had been working
men, the soviet authorities had au-
topsies performed and doctors issued
statements saying that neither Of the
brothers ever occupied himself with
hard work, "for their hands were soft
like those OF nobIemen and there was
fat ali over their bodies, showing
that they had fed Themselves very
well at the time when The famine in
the villages carried away many
souls"
