che form and manner of reap
continent were expressed in the
.N'tRate, where North Florida
forces have a prepcnderance of
bvotlng strength. Senator Lewis
OF Mariana, leader of the North
Florida bloc, proposed that reap
portionment be accomplished by
a constitutional amendment to
give more populous South Florida
three additional senators and
North Florida two.
This plan was opposed by Sen
ator Matthews of Jacksonville.
who expressed the opinion that
ANY form of reapportionment
through constitutional amend
ment would be invalid, and by
Senator Sheldon of Tampa, who
said that a plan to give South
Florida three new senators to
North Florida's two was the only
one that would be acceptable.
Sheldon threatened that unless
South Florida were given fairer
representation and consideration
this section Of the state would re-
'taliate by refusing to elect any
more state officials from North
Florida.
Senators Lewis and Fraser Of
St. Augustine said they would
never agree to any plan thai
would do away with any of the
existing legislative seats, and
Lewis proposed that the legisla-
ture follow provisions of the 1912
constitutional amendment provid-
ing for a special election to vote
on constitutional changes of an
emergency nature.
He said that under this plan of
procedure the legislature could
propose reapportionment plan
by three-fourths vote, let the
people ratify it at special cleo
ton to be called within 90 DAYS
and recOnvene later to activate
the plan adopted by the voters.
Senators Beacham of West
Palm Beach and Bayard of St.
Petersburg declared that reap
portionment was not an emerg-
ency proposition and assorted
that it would have to be worked
out by some other method.
And so, as Major Bowes would
say, Around and around she goes
and where she stops nobody
knows" Personally, my sympa-
thies are with South Florida but
I'm betting on North Florida.

General DeGaulle, the Don Quixote
of European politics, is acting up again in
his stand against Syria and Lebanon. He
seems to forget that France, once great,
was helpless against Germany, and that
the United States and Great Britain lib
Grated it at tremendous cost Furthermore,
France was given place on the rostrum of
the Big Five, possibly outnof consideration
of her once former GREATNESS, and not be-.
cause of'hsr power which Has, vanished in-
t9 thin lairs DeGaulle has every reason to-
lie humble land none for being edefiant.

Moscow, Idaho-An 8-year-old
boy, who borrowed four bicycles
in five days, promised police that
he wouldn't do it any more. How

it up in the Woodshed.

Liberal Benefits
Under New Army
Recruitment Act

According to word recently re-
| ceiyed at the army recruiting sta
ton in Miles City, the army will
enlist men between the ages of II
and IS. However, in order to enlist,
a youth of II must have the consent
of his parents or guardian.
A new recruitment act, designed
to encourage enlistments in the
regular army, has many new fea-
lures and provisions. 1t gives full
benefits of the CT Bill of Rights to
all men who enlist or reenlist. Spe-
cial consideration is given to men
with previous service. They receive
a bonus of $50 for each years serv-
ice not exceeding three years, a 90
day furlcugh with a travel allow
ance Of 5 cents a mile, and are pro-
NOTED to the highest grade held by
them during previous service. 1t is
also possible for them to reenliSt
for only n year.
Young men with no previous Serv-
ice are also carefully considered by
the new act. 1t is possible for a man
entering the service for the first
time to select, not only his branch
of service, but also the theater of
operations where he desires to serve.
The dependents of any enlisted
man may receive a monthly allow
ance if the enlistment is contracted
before July l, 1916. Consequently the
longer the enlistment the longer the
allowance can be paid. Any person
enlisting in grade seven, shall upon
completion of six months active
duty. be promoted to the sixth grade.

their son, Corp. Everett A. Waters,

sion.
1t was given in recognition of
c-onspicuously meritrious and out
standing performance of military
duty and the citation read: "On
Nov. %, 1914 during the attack
against a strongly defended town,

tense enemy fire and the need for
litter bearers became acute. Corp
oral Waters voluntarily assisted in
the evacuation of the wounded from
the battlefield as well as carrying
rationS and ammunition to the for
ward exposed positions of the assault
units. Despite adverse conditions
and intense enemy fire, he worked
untiringly for over Is hours without
relief. His undaunted courage and
tenacity reflect the highest credit
upon himself and the military
service"

from him on Monday that he has
been promoted to staff sergeant.
