der five bushels per head, while
Americans average over four
bushels.
If South Florida's consumption
of Holsum bread were used as a
national bread-eating barometer,
it is probable the American fig
ure might be upped consider
ably, because more persons than
ever before eat Holsum. bread
every day in this section of the
country.
Smallest wheat eaters are the
Asiatic races, South Africans and
the people who inhabit the Baltic
states. m
Largest wheat growing coun-
try in the world is Russia, with
an output of 1,000,000,000 bushels
a year. Largest exporting coun-
try is Canada, which provides
about one third of all the wheat
that flows in international trade.
Most of the wheat used in the
production of Holsum bread is
the best quality, American
grown. Great Britain imports
about half of all the wheat she
buys from countries within the
Empire. The Argentine and the
United States are her other large
suppliers.
Buyers for Fuchs Baking Com
pany study all of the many va
rieties eff wheat on the world
market in their constant search
for only the flour of best quality
for the manufacture of Holsum
bread. The quality of bread.
Holsum bakers know, depends
primarily on the wheat from
which it was made. Only two
separate processes are required
before the grains of wheat are fit
for human consumption--milling
and baking. And Fuchs Baking
Company representatives follow
each step from the waving fields
of wheat on rolling western
prairies, or wherever the best
quality of wheat is being raised

NO SPONGE DIVERS HERE

A dispatch from Washington to The
Citizen yesterday announced U. S. Senator
C. O. Andrews office had "opened cam
paign to secure Federal funds for field
study of working conditins among sponge
divers of Key West and Tarpon Springs"
The dispatch further stated the Tarpon
Springs Chamber of Commerce had asked
for the study in the hope that helium-
oxygen gas mightSbe used in the treatment
of divers suffering from the bends and
added that Andrews office announced
that benefits resulting from the study
would also affect Key West.
Either the Washington correspondent
is in error or Senator Andrews and his
staff have been poorly informed of the
situation in regard to the spongers of Key
West. Our local spongers are not divers.
They do not trample the ocean bottoms in
diving equipment, including heavy metal
shoes, for sponges. The Key Westers fish
from boats, using water glasses to scan the
floor of bay and gulf, and then hook the
sponges that come within range of their
vision.
The Key West method has been in
use for hundred years, with the result
that the sponge beds of Monroe county
waters have not been depleted as have the
waters for hundreds of miles in vicinity
of Tarpon Springs. Key Westers contend
that the divers ruin young sponges by
tlampling them in search of larger ones.
For that reason the sponge fishermen of
Key West long have fought every attempt
Of the divers to fish in Monroe waters.
Therefore it is obvious the sponge
fishermen of Key West need no study of
diving equipment and diving methods to
protect divers from the effects of under
water operations. While the Key West
fishermen may have every sympathy for
the poor devils forced to make living by
diving in deep water for sponges, they have
no sympathy for the industry depending
on such man-killing methods.
What the sponger fishermen of Key
West need is complete protection against
invasion of their territorial waters by
divers; so if Senator Andrews and his staff
WISH 10 a. real SCINlCC lOI Jul lOSdA
spongers they will get back of movement
for federal protection of Monroe sponge
beds. Attempts of the state conservation
department and the sheriff's office to COM
bat diving invasion have been thwarted in
the federal courts which ruled that the
territorial limits of Monroe county do not
extend beyond three miles from shore,
whereas state law has fixed them at three
leagues.
Tarpon Springs divers arrested in
Monroe waters have been released time
after time and right now the state con-
servation department is appealing from
the federal district court rulings in the
United States Court of Appeals. Even if
the state is successful in this appeal, the
sponge beds of Monroe county would still
be liable to raids by the divers In pro-
tecting those beds, Senator Andrews can
be of great help to our spongers.

REAL HISTORY BEHIND SLICES OF
Gives Thorough Satisfaction In All OF South Florida
HOLSUM BREAD; BEST INGREDIENTS


Biggest proof of Holsum breads
merit is customer satisfaction
throughout South Florida, despite
the national triumphs it has scor-
ed in nationwide baking compe-
titions. 1t has been the Fuchs
Baking Company's privilege to
enjoy through boom times, de-
pressions, war and hurricanes
steadily increasing patronage
since 1913. It's clientele through
the years has been as particular
and as loyal as can be found any,
where in the world.
One of the main reasons most
mothers in South Florida prefer
Holsum bread for their children
is the knowledge that it contains
only the choicest, purest and per-
fectly baked ingredients. They
know that Charles T. Fuchs, IT.,
has built his business in the inn
plicit belief that you can't make
fine bread with middling quality
flour. He insists you can't even
bake a fair loaf of bread with
cheap flour and steadfastly stands
by his decision to only purchase
and use the best quality of flour
obtainable on the world markets
to produce Holsum bread.
And there's real history behind
every slice of Holsum bread
history that goes back thousands
of years before Charles T. Fuchs,
Jr., established his small, one
room bakery quarter of CEN
tury ago in Homestead, Florida.
Bread, baked as Holsum is, is
probably the most wholesome
food which humans can eat. And
bread is probably the first cook
cd food that humans ever ate.
Traces Of baked wheaton flour
have been found in Swiss lake
dwellings that date back to the
Stone Ages. Bread is constantly
mentioned in the Old Testament.
Every Chaldean house had its
own bread baking oven in the
courtyard, and the ancient Egyp-
tIans produced a white loaf in
shape not unlike that which the
Fuchs Baking Company sells to-
day. AS TO the comparative quail
ity? Well. the Fuchs Baking
Company leaves that up to the
judgment of the steadily growing
army of Holsum bread users in
South Florida.
Today, the world produces
about 5000, 600, 600 bushels of
/ wheat every year, At least 700.-
000. 900 bushels pass into interna-

Final action on the matter
relative to bids for the Monroe
county steel ferries was deferred
at a prolonged session of the
county commissioners, which
started II o'clock this forenoon.
The Gibbs Gas Engine Company'S
bid was the lowest for construc-
ton of the craft, receiving fav-
orable consideration, but a re-
cess was taken until 4 o'clock
this afternoon. In the meantime,
Norberg Thompson will use long
distance telephone to get infor-
nation concerning two boats
known to be for sale in Virginia,
and said to be Immediately avail
able for $4,000 each, much low
er on the proposed offer of build
ing the steel ferry. Opening of
the bids for the ferries of steel
construction disclosed two bids
for construction of a metal boat,
one of wood and the offered sale
of one in Tampa The price on
this boat was $4,000 and deliv-
cry could be made in 80 days.
Action. on all of the bids were
deferred and the county was in
structed to analyze the bids and
construction details as offered.
According to resolution
adopted and passed by the coun-
ty commissioners at their meet
ing last night the commissioners
will hold all money due the
clerk, D. z. Filler, until full adj
juStments of his accounts has
been made. In view of the re-
port recently made to the board
by a state auditor indicating a
shortage in his accounts, this ac-
ton by the board was deemed
expedient. The clerk will here
after not deposit county funds
and state funds to his personal
account as has heretofore been
the custom, according to mo-
ton offered by MIR. Porter. Such
funds must be deposited III his
official capacity as the clerk. 1T
is unsafe and unbusinesslike for
the clerk to so deposit such
funds, said Mr.. Porter, and this
was agreed by the board.
