Hon. Jorge r. Ponce, the new
Cuban consul for Key West, has
arrived and has assumed charge
of the affairs of the Cuban con-
sulate at this place, his admins
tration commencing with the first
day of July.
Nj. Ponce relieves Hon. Do
mingo j. Milford, who has been
transferred to the position as Gu
ban consul at Miami, which change
he preferred in order to look af-
ter his property interests in the
Magic City, and hoping for i'm.
provement in health.
Mr.. Ponce says that this is the
first time he was ever in Key
West and was surprised to find
II such a beautiful and clean city.
He says he likes it immensely
here. Mrs. Ponce and two little
daughters are now in Havana and
expect to arrive in Key West next
week.
Starting in the Cuban consular
service at the age of Il years,
Mr.. Ponce was sent to Germany,
where he served for period of
eight years, spending most of that
time in Pforgheim. He was then
transferred to st, John, Canada,

year from which point he was sent
to the position of Cuban consul
at Pensacola for IL months, COM
ing from there to the consulate at
Miami, where he had been consul
for four months before being
given the consulship at Key West.
Mr.. Ponce says the Cuban con-
sulate at Key West is the second
consulate in Importance maintain
ed by the Cuban government any
where. New York is first in i'm
portance and Key West second.
Since the day he entered the con-
sular service of his country he
has been gradually climbing high
er, step by step, and is glad now
to be holding next to the most i'm
portant consular position of the
Cuban government. He says that
he is so busy these days that he
has not yet found time to meet
and greet the officials of the city
and county here, but that he will
do so just as soon as opportunity
affords.
The new consul says that he
hopes to win as many warm
friends as Mr.. Milford had here,
and intends to do all in his power
to increase the friendship that ex-
lists between the people of Cuba
and those of the United States.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, July 3
"There was e time when the err

the supply of game was unlimited
and would last forever; that the
sea was full of fish and the sup
ply was inexhaustible. AS the
world grew older and the people
wiser, they have at last realized

This was the statement of State

before the Southern Fisheries As

she followed the example of q
German pencil concern, which,
finding its supply of red cedar,

COUNTY BOARD DISCUSSES MATTER
OF GUARANTEE ON BRIDGE TOLLS
c. A. P. TURNER AD-
DRESSES MEETING RE-
LATIVE TO PROPOSED
PROJECT

Discussion of the guarantee ask
ed by the c. A. P. Turner Com
pany in connection with the con
struction of the three long toll
bridges on the highway to the
mainland occupied most of the
time at the county commissioners
meeting last night. Perhaps a
clearer understanding of the ten
tative proposition was gained by
the commissioner and interested
citizens present, but no definite
action was taken. Commissioners
VIM. r. Porter stated that the
tentative proposal submitted failed
to mention several angles that
should have been included and
that the whole thing was too
crude to take any definite action
upon.
The tentative contract provides
that the Turner Company will
float a ten million dollar bond is
sue and form a bridge construct
tion company with working
capital of fourteen million dollars.
After this company finishes the
bridges they are to be leased bg
Monroe county for the sum Of
100000 a year, an amount equal
to the interest on the bond issue.
The county also is required to pay
13 per cent interest on the total
cost of construction for period
of 25 years, the bridges then TO
revert to the ownership of the
county free of cost, and in perfect
condition.
Commissioner Porter stated that
the whole proposition seems to de-
volve upon Monroe county's guar
antoe of the interest. and If that
guarantee is so valuable, it ought
to bring the county something,
Monroe county Is not getting
enough out of it," he said, "eon-
sidering that the whole vast
proposition hinges upon our guar.
entse We should get something
for thet guarantee" he said.
Turner Present
c. a. P. Turner was present and
explained q number of points that
CAME up for discussion. ani

aitely clear and complete Hnd that

adequate to the demands upon it.
The swimmer who finds a bit of
unoccupied water is a lucky fell
low In fact, there is often more
available space on the beach than
i'll the sea.
Among some sections of the
Belgian littoral, however, one is
allowed to sun ones self upon the
beach. One has to get into a van
and be hauled out Unto three feet
or so Of water, getting into a
bathing garment meanwhile.
Then one has ones dip for 21a
francs-the cost of the van is eX-
tra-and is hauled back to dry
sand again.
Then before one energies from
the van one must be arrayed in
all ones shore clothes, for it is
against the regulations to either
lie or promenade upon the beach
in bathing costume. This restric-
ton is not universal. 1t is met
with only at intervals along the
coast, and appears to be a survi
val of the Old-fashioned idea, such
as that which in some parts of
England is still enforced against
mixed bathing.
But all along the Belgian Tito
raj there is a censorship far strict
er than at any other of the Con-
tinental resorts.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1926-08-27

Dairy Men Are
More Efficient
Number of Cows in Jersey
Declines, But Output of
Milk Increases.
Increase 100000 Gals.

A marked increase in the eff
cheney of New Jersey dairy farm
ing is indicated in advanced re-
ports from the special agricultur
al census taken in 1925. 2
Although the number of dairy
cows has fallen in the period be-
tween 1920 and 1925 from 130,500
to 122,S00, a decrease of 1900
animals, the output of milk has
increased 100000 gallons. In
1920 the production was 100000
gallons, whereas in 1925 it was
100000.
Elimination of scrub cows on
many farms and more careful
feeding and breeding of the re-
naming good COWS are largely re-
sponsible for the increased eff
cheney, in the opinion of dairy
authorities at the state college of
agriculture, New Brunswick.
Investigation on many farms
has shown that animals giving
1000 quarts of milk or less a
year hardly pay for their feed.
Ordinarily they eat almost as
much feed and require practically
as much care as high grade ami
mails giving 1000. to 5000 quarts
of milk a year.
Numerous contesting associa-
tons have been organized
throughout the state for the pur-
pose of assisting in this elimina-
ton, and it is pointed out as sig
nificant by the college that the
average profits of members OF
these associations is considerably
higher than that of non-members.
Coincident with the increase in
output per COW has been an i'm
provement in the quality of the
milk sold. This is considered by
the foremost dairymen of the
state as highly important in ex-
panding the market for milk.

And that's the answer to the

course, the natural rivalry be-
