WlLLiSToN BOYS OFF FOR MILL
TARY TRAINING CAMP

322 Florida boys have been accept
ed for the Citizens Military Training
Camps to be held at Camp Mcclellan,
Admission, Alabama, and Fort Bar
rancas, Pensacola, Florida, July 26th,
to August 25th.
These citizens camps are designed
to give young men sufficient training
in three summers to equip them as
commissioned officers in case of emer-
gency, and last year six times as
many applications were received as
young men who could be accepted for
training from the fourth corps area
at Camp Jackson. Only 64 Florida
boys were accepted while 224 went
from Georgia. Realizing that if the
young men of Florida, in case of
emergency were to compete with men
from the other southern states, they
should also take advantage of this
great opportunity to equip themselves
for greater service to the state, B. c..
Riley, director of the general exten-
sion division. University of Florida
and as e-president of the military
training camp association of u. S. in
charge of S. E. department, made a
special effort this year to interest
Florida boys in the camps. As result
Florida was the first state in the
Union to subscribe its quota and when
recruiting closed, May 31st, Florida's
quota had been over subscribed by
20 per cent.
In view of these facts, the war
department, through the commander
OF the fourth corps area notified Mr..
Riley that not only Florida's quota of
1913 men, but all who had qualified
by May 81 would be accepted for
training. As a result Florida will
have 322 men in the Citizens Camp.

not enforce its own laws, but has to

the rank of third party. 1t differs
from other movements, also, in being
sporadic, cropping up in this State

WOMEN IN POLITICS

Four women are aspiring to the
United States senate this year. There
may be others before the election.
There may be number of women
candidates for the mouse. Two wo-
men have already sat in that body.
with some degree of credit to their
sex.
The rapidity with which women
have taken up their political oppor-
tunities is somewhat surprising. They
seem to be reaching out for high Of
fee, and it may not be long before
the voters may have to choose be-
tween man and a woman for the
presidency.
IL women are to have the obliga-
tions of citizenship, as represented in
the ballot, there is no reason why
they should not have some of the
privileges, as represented in public
office. The extent to which they
can grasp their opportunities along
this line will depend very largely
on the sort of women who offer them
selves to the scrutiny of the public.
1t is probable that at present no
woman could be elected to any of
ice without the votes of a good MANY
men. There is still some resentment
among many men against women in
politics. This will probably disap-
pear if the right kind of women are
elected to various offices.
Just now a woman candidate is a
novelty. This is not the best situ-
alton. The time will come when the
question of sex will not be projected
into politics at ALL When that time
comes men and women will contend
for office on even terms. They do not
now. This does not mean that wo-
men canot be elected. They can. II
does mean that actual merit does not
enter ito consideration to the extent
that it should.
When the voters have become fully
accustomed to seeing the names Of
women on the ballots they will no
longer vote for or against as a result
OF prejudice. They will seek to
choose the best man" whether Mr.
or Mrs. In the meantime the women
must steel themselves against many
disappointments. People cannot be
made over in their ways of thinking

STRIKE SITUATION SLIGHTLY Az
FEcTs WILLIsToN BUSINESS

The effect of the nationwide rail-
tions made its first appearance here
with the discontinuance of the Dun
nellon-Cedar Key passenger train last
week and now the only passenger SER
vice offered by the Seaboard Air Line
on this branch is the accommodation
coach" which is pulled by the local
freight. There are no passenger
trains being operated through Will
liston now by the Seaboard
Freight service, we are informed,
is being kept up to an approximately
normal degree by both roads enter
ing here but no small degree of un-
certainty is at all times felt in regard
to this and it is undoubtedly true that
freight is moving slower than usual.
The rock and mining industry in
and around Williston is feeling the ef-
fects of the strike to certain extent
in the shortage of freight cars and as
result their production is far be-
low capacity although they manage
to hold their full forces and are oper-
ating every day and every car that
can be secured is being loaded
The Maddox Foundry and Machine
Company at Archer is probably af-
fected by the strike more than any
other local business organization. This
is one of the largest and most COM
plete foundry and machine works in
the south and in normal times, does
"a great amount of railway and other
commercial machine work. This plant
is now operating on about fifty per
cent basis because of the general
Tightening up of affairs throughout the
entire country. This condition is en-
tirely temporary however and the COM
pany expects to resume full time work
the minute conditions will permit.
The general business outlook for
Williston is excellent and much inn
provement work is contemplated and
will be put under way in the coming
months of this year. Much road work
is now pending or under way and un-
less the strike continues and becomes
so serious as to further affect this
work, it will continue. Already the
State Road Department has begun the
preliminary work of hard-surfacing
the Williston stretch of State Road |
No. Five and if the strike does not
interfere, this will soon be an accom-
plished fact as the engineers in |
charge of the work state that the |
surfacing work will progress at the
rate of half-a-mile day when once
started. Several carloads of Alabama |
Stag have already been unloaded and |
is being placed along the highway and
four carloads of the bituminous treat |
ment have arrived and are ready for
unloading. Apparently the strike has /
had the effect of holding up deliveries |
of the Stag and the contractors are
awaiting the arrival of additional cars |
These are loaded at Birmingham and |
awaiting the service of the railroads. I
There has been no effect on the de- |
livery of express to the local Office
and this branch of the transportation
business is apparently holding is own,
at least, as far as local conditions are
concerned,
An early settlement of both the
rail and coal strike would be great
ly welcomed in this section as local
producers have many products to be
placed on the market and the condi-
tion of national affairs is felt in the
prices secured on local products

Dorothy Dix Talks
The Male FIirt-2.
By DOROTHY DIX
worlds Hfghesx Paid Woman Writes


Between the soup and the fish he
confides in you that you are the ideal
for whom he has been searching thru
all these weary years, and before you
get to the entrees you are assured that
you have inspired a deathless passion.
This is too sudden. Still there are
women vain enough to believe any
thing.
The man who tells you that he has
never loved before is rather dying out,
and now he tells that fairy tale only
to debutantes. He is aware that older
women know better, and besides, few
women care for amateur love-making
anyway
Then there is the masculine flirt
whose strong suit is his sins. He talks
darkly and Economically of a desperate
past. He never had a mother or sis
ter. but if he only had your angel in
fluence he feels that he could lead the
higher life.
Heaven alone knows why. but the
idea of making a reformatory of her
self is irresistibly alluring to a woman,
and this kind of man is fatally fasci-
mating to pious girls. They send him
good books, and embroider texts for
his room, and sometimes it hurts their
innocent little heart when they find
Neut that forty-seven other girls are
also acting as mother confessor to
him.
The cleVereSt masculine flIrt IS the
platonic flirt. He is an artist where
other men are bunglers. After having
virtually served notice on you that his
attentions are without intention, it
leaves him free to be as sentimental as
he pleases, and he generally pushes
his privileges.
He talks of souls instead of hearts,
but it comes to the same thing. He
tells you that he relies on your judg-
ment and is guided by your intelli-
gence, and that you alone comprehend
his aspirations and ambitions Moth
ing flatters woman like being
thought capable of an exalted friend
ship, but if she is wise she passes up
the platonic brand.
The married flirt always has a Sc
cret sorrow that he confides to you
the second time you meet him. His
wife never understands him. She is
a. dull and prosaic creature while he
is all soul, and then he looks tenderly
into your eyes and says dreamily,
What a heaven life would have been
if 1 had only met you in time!"
The married flirt is only dangerous
to young and sympathetic girls. The
woman of experience has met him
and heard the tale before.
And SO the merry little game of fir
tation goes gayly on. Sometimes peo-
pie are hurt? Oh. perhaps. Not
often. There's nothing else quite so
elastic as the human neart.

The proposed merger of the rail
and miner unions should cause those
engaged in a drive against unionism
TO do some serious thinking. II the
unions are nagged beyond endurance
and for self-protection are forced TO
consolidate. there will be a power in
this country that can paralyze the ma
ton overnight.-SiouX City Tribune
But suppose this power should de-
eide to "paralyze the nation over
night" who would be the greatest
sufferers? Would it not be the par
alyzers and their families? The en-
p1oyers also can play the paralyzing
game, as they have proven in small
way on previous occasions. 1t was n
threat to paralyze the transportation
business that led a weakened con-
gress to pass the .damson law. That
action laid the foundation for the bulk
of subsequent industrial disturbance.
If congress had refused to surrender
the country might have been saved
many vexations.

THE BONUS OUTLOOK

There are many indications that
the soldier bonus legislation will De
enacted-this in spite of the solemn
warning of the secretary of the treas
ury pointing out the disaster to ma
tionaI finance and personal stability
which is likely to follow.A
Soldiers bonus legislation has been
endorsed in principle by President
Harding, by a large group of United
States senators and representatives,
by a majority of the 100000 Ameri-
can World war veterans. by, innum-
cradle civilian organizations, and,
probably by a majority of American
citizens.
Secretary Mellon is being placed in
The light of an opponent of the meas
ure. altho his position seems to be
merely that the government cannot
pay a bonus calling for 100000, 200
within two years out of any funds now
IN hand and is in no position to get
new funds.
It is being pointed out by friends of
the measure, that the government
finds the money for anything else it
wants to do, even the feeding of Eu-
rope.
While the bonus proposal appears
TO be generally endorsed by the public
the press is by no means Unanimous
IN it's support. The Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger says:
Everybody would like the soldiers
20 have a bonus if there were a sur
plus. The ablebodied ones. however.
are mostly young enough to wai- a
few years. while the condition of the
country will not wait. Which would
a healthy eX-soldier rather have: q
few dollars and no job or a regular
Job at good wages? BY taking this
heap Of money out of the pockets of
the people at this particular time he
would prevent the reduction of tax
alton. and therefore prevent the ex-
pansion of business: and without the
expansion of business Unemployment
will increase. Hard times hit the
poor as we'll as the rich. The bonus
proposal. in whatever form it is made,
comes at a time when there is no
Rcpcy and when the government has
heavy debts to meet, and that is a sit
uation that calls not for lighter but
for heavier taxation.
As to the bonus. the president in
Hists that it shall carry its own financ-
ing scheme. He has expressed no OBJ
lection to the sales tax method of rails

ably holds to the belief that when the

in point which is sufficiently illumi-
native to disclose the entire SITUATION
The Instance in point is the tragedy
