(By The Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 –
Before the dawn of another day the country in all like likelihood will know whether Senator Harding or Governor Cox will be the next president as it is generally agreed none of the other five candidates has a chance.

Thirty-four senators will be elected, thirty-two to fill seats now occupied by seventeen Democrats and fifteen Republicans, and two to fill unexpired terms of the late Senators Bankhead of Alabama, and Martin of Virginia. The entire new house, consisting of four hundred and thirty-five members is being chosen. Hayes and White both continued confident of victory.

ORGANIZATION WILL PROMOTE MORE THRIFT
HAS BEEN INCORPORATED IN BOSTON AS OUTGROWTH OF WAR
(By The Associated Press)

BOSTON, Nov. 1. -
An organization to promote thrift and to protect savings has been incorporated here as an outgrowth of the war-time conservation campaigns and the recent Ponzi-migh-finance fiasco. It will be known as the Association for the Promotion and Protection of Savings and will combine with the encouragement of safe investment on educational program to combat quick-rich schemes.
At the head of the association is Alfred L. Aiken, former governor of the Federal Reserve Bank in this city. Those associated with him include lenders in the thrift, Liberty Loan and other campaigns of recent years. The association will cooperate with the work of the Savings Division of the Treasurey Department, but its activities will be distinct from any government branch.
The educational department will be divided into school and home economic sections, the former covering education in thrift colleges, public, private, parochial, normal and vocational schools and the latter working with women’s organizations, fraternal bodies, the army and navy, the churches and professions.
The business department will be divided into industrial and commercial, agricultural and banking sections. The industrial and commercial sections will work with labor unions, associated industries, the wholesale and retail trades, Americanization committee and the Young Men’s Christian Association industrial secretaries. The agricultural section will have its work with the savings, national, trust company and copoerative banks, insurance and investment banking concerns, and trust companies.

FOR HIS OWN WIFE

We have heard of a Florida hotel where a traveler called and asked what he would have to pay for a room. He was told he could have a small room without a bath for $2.50 for one night. He had his wife with him and of course they occupied the same room. Next morning, when the traveler went to pay his bill, the clerk told him it was $5. He protested, saying he had been promised the room the night before for $2.50. “Yes,” said the clerk, “but there were two of you.” So the traveler had to pay $2.50 for the privilege of having his own wife in the same room with him for the night. There never was a more infernally dishonest charge made. If ever anything of the sort is done in Ocala, we hope that the victim will take the case into court, so we can write it up. – Ocala Star.

ONLY FOUR MILLION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 –
Only two bids, both of which were rejected, were received by the shipping board, for the great Hog Island ship building plant near Philadelphia.
The Barde Brothers’ Steel Corporation, of New York, bid a flat $4,000,000 and the New Jersey Machinery Exchange, of Newark, N. J., bid $4,268,750. As the plant cost the government $70,000,000 when it was built during the war, the bids were regarded by Chairman Benson as entirely inadequate.
Failure of the board to receive an advantageous offer for the ward probably will result in the property being leased by the shipping board. Chairman Benson has said that such a proposition was under consideration.

GUARDS RETURNED PRISONERS
CURSE THE FATHERLAND FOR PERMITTING THE WAR THAT RUINED THEM

(By the Associated Press)

STETTIN, Germany, Nov. 2 –
Every contingent of German war prisoners arrived here from Russia contains a number of ragged, unshaven, haggard men who have been made insane by suffering during the many months in Russian prison camps.
In three weeks the German government sent 200 of these men to insane asylums and sanitariums for treatment. A few who have spells of violence, and during these periods, must be kept under guard, but the majority present a listless, woe begone aspect. They look about with dull, unseeing eyes, or sit quietly weeping, unconscious of the fact that they are home again.
The families and friends of the insane soldiers are allowed to greet them and to give them food and clothes before they are sent away for treatment.
Nearly all the prisoners exhibit the most intense bitterness not only toward Russia but toward the German government as well. One of them, who had lost a leg and an arm and who, it was learned, had been taken prisoner early in the war and has been confined in many Russian prison camps, shook his fist at a German flag when he arrived and cursed his country, his people, and all other countries and people.
“To ____ with Germany!” he shouted. “That is not my flag and Germany is not my fatherland.” He then turned to the other prisoners and pointed to his wound said:
“This is what Germany has done to me. This is what a kindly fatherland has permitted. Why didn’t they exchange me? Because I have only one leg and one arm? I lost them fighting for Germany and all the thanks I’ve had for it were the rotten years in a Russian prison.
The prisoners generally agreed they had been unable to procure proper medical treatment in the Russian camps, and that their food had been very bad.
At the close of the war there were 250,000 war and civil prisoners in Russia, and 255,000 Russians in Germany. The German government estimates that not more than 5,000 Germans will remain in Russian camps this winter.
Before the Russo-Polish hostilities began the Russians were being returned rapidly but it is now estimated at least 200,000 Russians are still in German camps, 600,000 of whom are the troops interned when they crossed the East Prussian frontier during the Polish offensive.
The German government has expended 80,000 marks for transportation of Russians home, and 90,000,000 marks to bring German prisoners out of Russia.

ARE VOTING FAST IN SANFORD BOTH PRECINCTS
NEW VOTERS ARE EXCEEDING ALL EXPECTATIONS FOR SPEED

At both polls today the people are voting fast and no unnecessary delays are taking place. The new voters especially are doing just as they are told and there has not been a particle of friction or any chance for any. The great number of new voters has made the job of Supervisor Dubose very difficult this year and also the job of inspectors and clerks and the very orderly manner in which the voters is being carried out and the dispatch with which they are voting the long ticket is a cause for congratulations.
There were about five hundred votes recorded this morning at ten o’clock in each city precinct which auger well for an early completion of the vote and the counting of the same. It is thought that the official canvass of the vote can be made some time in the early morning and not the next day as was the rule at the last general election.
With all of the great number of new voters the voting is being done with despatch and the women voters especially are to be congratulated upon the manner in which they voted without any unnecessary noise or excitement or delay.
It may be difficult to hear from the country precincts tonight but the two city precincts should be ready to report in the morning it is thought. But the majority of the anxious ones will not hang around the polls tonight.
They will be at the Princess Theatre anxiously awaiting word from the big states north and east and west. The South can be depended upon to remain the “Solid South” and it will always remain as such under present conditions.

HOLLAND HAS OTHER REFUGEES
FLEMISH BELGIAN IS WANTED BY THE BELGIAN GOVERNMENT

(By The Associated Press)
THE HAGUE, Nov. 2 –

Holland, which refused to surrender the former German Emperor to the Allies for trial, has another knotty problem in a demand from the Belgian government for the extradition of Professor de Vreeze, formerly librarian of Ghent university, a political refugee and now librarian at Rotterdam.
Professor de Vreeze is one of the Flemish Belgians who during the German occupation of their country sought, with German aid, in separate Flanders, the Dutch–speaking part of Belgium, from the French-speaking part. Many of them, when the armistice showed Germany beaten, fled to Holland. In their absence, they were convicted of treason and some of them are under were sentence to death. Professor de Vreeze is accused as a leading “activist” in the Flemish separation movement. Considering this a political offense and therefore not extraditable, the Dutch government would not give him up.
Now, at a time when relations between Holland and Belgium are strained because of commercial treaty complications and the renewed efforts of Belgium-Flemish activists toward the separatist movement, Belgium has demanded the extradition of De Vreeze, this time on grounds, which, if proved, Holland might consider, while it would not consider a political offense.
The changes however, is only that Professor De Vreeze used for fuel at his house in Ghent some government property, such as old boxes, old books and some coal were on the premises of the library at Ghent.
It is hinted in Holland that this is only a subterfuge to get the professor across the frontier.
The Dutch government has named a commission to decide the case.

ELECTION RETURNS TONIGHT AT PRINCESS THEATER STARTING SEVEN O’CLOCK

Small Sum of Twenty-Five Cents to Be Charged
GOOD OPPORTUNITY
TO SIT IN COMFORTABLE PLACE AND HEAR GOOD OR BAD NEWS

You will want to hear the election returns, of course, and not only will the men want to hear them but the women as well for they have a voice in the elections today and will have one hereafter and they will be more interested than ever in the returns tonight. Unless there is a big vote in the west for one candidate or the other that no one knows anything about and that would hold back the result something definite should be heard here by midnight and all those who wish to get the first hand information should be at the Princess Theater tonight where the American Legion and the Board of Trade have joined forces to get the latest stuff right from the wire regarding the vote in the various states.
It may be possible that 1916 will repeat itself and the result be in doubt until some time Wednesday in which event the people here will have to depend upon the Daily Herald, but should there be a landslide the result should be known tonight, or at least some time in the early hours of the morning if the anxious ones will remain awake that long. At any rate the telegraph companies have guaranteed to keep enough returns coming to give the people all that is possible in the way of information on the early dope from all states.
The Princess Theater will be open at seven o’clock and the small charge of twenty-five cents will be made to cover the expense of the wires and this service should be appreciated by the people of this city and their appreciation should be shown by a liberal patronage. Come out and get the returns no matter how they run.

TRUCKERS’ ASSOCIATION NOT TO DISSOLVE

FORT MYERS, Nov. 2 –
At a recent meeting of the Fort Myers Truckers Association, said to be one of the largest ever held, it was voted not to dissolve and recharter under another form of organization but to maintain the present organization with changes in the by-laws.
It was pointed out by several speakers at the largely attended meeting that the desired improvements in the methods of operations, etc., could be obtained without dissolution of the association and reorganization under a new charter. It also was suggested that the course originally proposed might operate to the disadvantage of the association’s members during the coming trucking season.
Clint Bolick, president of the association, offered a number of suggestions for changes in the method of operation, designed to bring about improvements in many lines of the association’s activities. One of those, of prime importance, it was stated, would result ultimately in the erection in Fort Myers of a thoroughly modern packing house for handling the produce of members.

DEMOCRATIC WOMEN BIG RALLY SATURDAY WAS GREAT SUCCESS

Am a Democrat,” eloquently expressed and giving convincing reasons in the clear, able manner which has become familiar to those who have been following her addresses at the various gatherings throughout the county in the last two weeks. She briefly touched on Governor Cox and the splendid reforms in Ohio during his administration of the three times governor, which included labor reforms, social service and education, all of which have embraced better conditions for women and children.
Mrs. E. M. Galloway presented one of the finest papers on any subject that has ever been submitted to a Sanford public, the full text of which will appear in today’s issue of the Herald, by special request and in which the “Good Roads Amendment” is discussed from every angle, for and against.
Owing to the small attendance at the time that her paper on “Americanization” was to have been given, Mrs. Blackman did not make this address but instead, gave a resume of the state suffrage convention which had closed the day previous at Orlando. This was indeed helpful and instructive and elicited questions and answers that gave each woman present a new sense of dignity obligation and responsibility resting upon her as a qualified elector.
It is a matter of regret that a larger percentage of women did not avail themselves of the opportunity for voting instructions and the real Democratic spirit of the day, meeting and knowing each other informally. The luncheon hour was an enjoyable feature of the rally.

Woman’s Mass Meeting Monday

The mass meeting for women at the Women’s Club on Thursday was one of the successful and best attended meetings of the entire week, as well as one of the most interesting. The club auditorium was crowded and a lively interest prevailed. Mrs. W. L. Morgan called the meeting to order, announced the purpose for which it was called, and introduced the speakers:
Splendid addresses were made by Mr. D. C. Marlowe, Mrs. Leonardi and Judge Housholder. Mr. Marlowe, who was first on the program, gave the history of woman suffrage, stating that it was not a product of the present but he carried his audience as far back as the fifteenth century, showing that even then women was thinking of equal rights with a man in the government of nations and bringing us up to the end of the adventure, the right of franchise.
Judge Housholder, who is ever popular, gave excellent advice to the new voters on their choice of candidates, his keynote being the “Man, not the Politician, Always,” – and supplemented Mrs. Leonardi’s instructions on the voter at the polls. A bit of advice that is well for all to heed was “to be quick but sure in preparing one’s ballot; avoiding loss of time on the clerk’s part by giving ones name as registered immediately and not wait for the clerk to ask for it, for women to leave the polls as soon as one has cast her ballot.”

GENERAL LAW DIES AT HIS BARTOW HOME
(Continued from page one)

Alabama volunteers to aid the Floridians, assisting in the capture of Pensacola, and the forts at that place. He remained in Florida two months, going in the Confederate Army as lieutenant-colonel of the Fourth Alabama regiment when the states organized. His first post was an assignment at Harper’s Ferry but he shortly returned to Virginia and was wounded at the first battle of Manassas. He attained the rank of colonel during the Peninsula campaign and after the battle of Seven Pines was elevated to the rank of senior colonel of his brigade, leading his command with signal gallantry thru the seven days’ battle from Gainesville to Malvern Hill.
General Law commanded his brigade in 1862, going through the second battle of Manassas and the battle of Boonesboro and Antietam and emerging as a brigadier-general in October in time for the battle of Fredericksburg.
Under Longstreet, in the Suffolk campaign the next year, and at Gettysburg, when, upon the wounding of General Hood, he succeeded to the command of the division, he was signally successful, having been breveted on the field at Gettysburg by General Longstreet for maneuvering his division on the round tops in such a manner as to effect the disastrous repulse of Kilpatrick’s division of mounted federal troops.
General Law went to the western army with Longstreet in 1863 and commanded a division at Chickamauga, General Longstreet commending him for his “distinguished conduct.” In 1864 he returned east and was with General Lee through the Wilderness and succeeding campaigns until the battle of Cold Harbor, where his division repulsed Smith’s Sixteenth army corps with a loss of 4,500 men, and in which engagement he was seriously wounded.
Returning to duty in February, 1865, General Law was assigned to General Wade Hampton’s cavalry corps, later becoming chief of staff to General Joseph E. Johnson. Upon the illness of General Butler, General Law was elevated to the rank of major general and assigned to command Butler’s division. This command he held until his surrender at Greensboro, N. C., on April 25.
General Law came to Florida in 1893, and the following year established the South Florida Military Institute, the forerunner of the University of Florida. Late he became editor of the Bartow Courier-Informant, and served in that capacity until his retirement from active life in 1915.
He repeatedly had refused honors at the hands of the state organization of the United Confederate Veterans and at the state reunion in 1916 opposed vigorously the adoption of a resolution proposing his name for commander-in-chief of the national organization, declaring that the honor of being senior surviving officer of the Southern armies was sufficient. This distinction he had held six years prior to his death.

KLU KLUX KLAN TO UPHOLD YOU

(Continued from page one)

Because in some instances their criminal conduct is being laid at the door of members of this organization. There is, of course, no excuse for this outrageous slander other than the fact that these ‘night riders’ clothe themselves in garments somewhat resembling the official regalia of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the exclusive right to the use of which has been legally bestowed upon this organization.
“However, since these gin posters and gin burners are being confused in the minds of some persons with members of this organization it behooves every member to be particularly vigilant in exposing them to the proper authorities and thus assist in the suppression of their activities so that respectable, law-abiding citizens may conduct their own affairs as they see fit, without let or hindrance, and go about their business with the knowledge that their lives and properties are secure.”

THE RED CROSS HAS DISTRIBUTED MANY MILLIONS
(Continued from page 1)

Way of hospitals when the Americans arrived. The army was in retreat and disorganized and the combined force of soldiers and civilians to the number of 20,000 was described as a hungry, suffering, panic-stricken mob. In December typhus broke out and for months the Red Cross workers fought the disease amid great difficulties.
At any one time the dead were piled in corners of the rooms with the sick and no effort at decent burial was made. In a hospital at Reval, consisting of a single barrack with 4-60 beds in one room, there were 600 deaths in one week. Thousands of cases were treated and with only the untrained assistance of the people the epidemic finally was conquered but not until two American Red Cross Officers, Lieutenant George W. Winfield and Lieutenant Clifford Blanton, had succumbed to the disease.
Much of the relief work in Western Russia consisted in aid to more than 250,000 Allied soldiers held in prison camps, but many thousands of civilians also were supplied with food and clothing. In the Baltic states in addition to ordinary relief efforts, the Red Cross commissions aided in the treatment of nearly 20,000 typhus cases and disinfecting stations and hospitals had to be established on a large scale. The work in South Russia consisted largely in caring for refugees and in fighting typhus and cholera in the Crimea.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SANFORD?

A TENNESSEEAN’S OBSERVATIONS OF SANFORD – SEMINOLE’S BEAUTIFUL AND PROGRESSIVE COUNTY SEAT.
(By J. W. Lloyd)

The following article was written by a recent visitor to Sanford:
Well, that is a pretty direct question, and one, too, which might be answered in a great variety of ways. But a modest opinion concerning the question and from one who admires the town, may possibly be read with some interest by citizens.
Sanford has a population of about 6,000; and is indeed, beautifully situated near Lake Monroe. Nature seems to have done her utmost in creating a fine site for a city of genuine worth and enduring progress.
Every town or city has an individual, a type of its own, and thus attracts citizens of the same general characteristics – to a great extent, at least, I think this is true. The people are observed to be thoughtful, kind sympathetic and helpful to one another. And, as the Postum man is won’t to say, “There’s a Reason.” This is pre-eminently a city of homes. The atmosphere of things imparts to one a restful feeling, a thoughtful spirit, and all are concerned in the development of the city.
In speaking of Sanford as a city of homes, however, I do not mean to say that it is not also a place of substantial business interests. By no means! All the various kinds of business are not only well represented but they also seem to be conducted by men of good ability and those who possess the spirit of genuine progress. The places of business are, for the most part, well arranged, neatly kept and managed with a promptness and courtesy towards customers that compare favorably with many cities of much larger size.
The people are elated in the way the Daily Herald is co-operating in the upbuilding of Sanford and Seminole county.

SHOOTS HOTEL MAN THEN KILLS HIMSELF

FORT MYERS, Nov.2 –
w. M. Crawley, of Labelle, shot and slighted wounded I. A. Phillips, proprietor of the Hotel Everett, at that place late yesterday afternoon, then turned the weapon on himself and blew out his brains. Phillip wound was not serious – a flesh wound in the arm.
The trouble arose over Crawley’s wife, who had left him and refused to return. She was employed as housekeeper at the Everett. Crawley, who had been working at Lakeland, returned to Labelle Saturday and endeavored to get his wife to return to him. She is said to have appealed to Phillips for protection from Crawley, The latter then left the hotel, returned late that evening and demanding to see his wife. Phillips ordered him out of the place, where upon Crawley drew his gun and fired at the hotel man.
The shooting occurred in the room at the hotel. A number of men who heard the shot rushed into the hotel and found Crawley standing at the door of the room, with Phillips inside. As they came up Crawley turned the pistol against his own head and fired. He died almost instantly.
Search of the dead man’s clothing revealed a note which indicated the he had intended committing suicide. The note referred to the trouble he had had with his wife, and directed that $5 which he had in his possession, and some other money due him for work, with other property which he owned, be turned over to his sister.

DEFUNIAK “OIL FIND” PROVEN TO BE A HOAX
Janitor there poured half-barrel of furniture polish into the sewer.

TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 1 –
The state geologist, Hon. Herman Gunter, has recently made an extended trip through oilfields of Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and Wyoming, inspecting the property of certain companies that have made application before the foreign investment company board, composed of the comptroller and the attorney-general, for permission to sell stock in this state. Mr. Gunter has filed various samples in the office of the comptroller of the oils taken from fields visited.
In his line of duties he has also taken samples from the supposed discovery of oil at or near DeFuniak Springs, this state, and has filed in the office of the comptroller a number of samples, giving the various stages of the oil found in the sands of the deep, and has accounted for the presence of oil in this vicinity.
Floor Oil Seepage at DeFuniak
The school as DeFuniak Springs, known at the Palmer College, uses certain floor oils and furniture polish as well as certain disinfectant and a liquid soap in its lavatories. It was learned, conclusively, that the janitor of the college recently poured into the sewer, about a half-barrel of the above named ingredients. Investigation proved that the mouth of the sewer was stopped up, and that the seepage was discovered several feet above the mouth of the sewer.
Where-upon a trench was dug along the line if the sewer, back to the seepage, and there a hole in the sewer pipe was discovered. The state geologist filed ten samples, as an exhibit in the comptroller’s office, and perhaps the most convincing sample to prove that the presence of oil there is not due to natural causes, is the sample of sand taken from the ground, a few feet below the surface of the seepage. This sand is absolutely dry and has the appearance of never having come in contact with the much coveted fluid. One of the samples is a small vial of a well known commercial furniture polish; another bottle contains a dark colored disinfectant; another contains a mixture of other ingredients; and the interesting part of the investigation is that all of those substances were taken from the same spot in the ground.
The foreign investment companies board passes upon all applications of investment companies for the state of stock in this state, and in its earnest desire to protect the interest of the people of the state, very rigid requirements are enforced.
There are certain companies in the state that have never made application to sell stock and are carrying advertisements in the papers that no stock is for sale, but that they held oil leases that they would be willing to sell or dispose of. Judging, however, from the report of the state geologist, a person cannot afford to take the risk of losing money, and should be very careful before investment in ‘wildcat” oil propositions.

SIX KINDS OF SAFETY

Have you every paused to consider the safety of the bank where you deposit your money?
The first consideration is the capital, which should be ample to meet the requirements of the community the bank is to serve.
The next question to consider is the officers in charge. They should be men of experience, high character and successful. Without man of ability no institution can succeed.
Then there is the question of confidence. The public should have confidence in the officers and in the bank.
These three principles determine the success of a bank.
We adopted these principles in the outset of our career and we expect to live up to this high standard and increase our usefulness to the community as the years go by.
We offer you:

1st: Large capital and working reserve
2nd: Trained men in charge – Men of several years experience.
3rd: The confidence of the public, which is proven by the daily addition to our line of depositors.
4th: Protection by two examinations each year by the state banking department. Two audits each year by an independent recognized public audit company and two sworn statements submitted to the state comptroller by the cashier, giving the bank’s condition in detail. All of which insures regular, systematic and thorough operation of the bank.
5th: The advice of a competent board of directors, who meet who meet with the officers regularly each month and advise them as to the operation of the bank.
6th: Insurance of all deposits every day of the year, this is a protection not commonly found in banks and is an absolute protection for your funds, in addition to all the other usual safeguards.
These are reasons why you should do business with us, and we believe that no bank can offer better inducements.

PEOPLES BANK OF SANFORD. We want your business.

And our prayer today is that the ballots are printed without any mistakes and the day will be quiet with no thrills.
--
We feel sorry for the clerks in the booths in this election. They will probably be there this time tomorrow.
--
All of which brings up the question of having more balloting places for the city precincts before another general election or before we have any kind of election that will get out the entire vote.
--
And again there will be some money for poll taxes before another election as all of the new voters this year were exempt but in the next election they will have to pay one dollar for the privilege of voting.
--
The women are voting today and while it is difficult to tell how they will vote in the northern state we fully believe they will stand by the League of Nations. It would seem that they would vote against future wars for they are the ones to suffer and to our mind the Democratic party means peace from this time forward while the Republican party might mean anything but peace as they have no set program on this most important document in the history of the country.

J. B. Frix, of Richmond, Va., who is organizing the National Training Association, says that a gentleman walked into a music store to buy a talking machine.

Our pair have ceased to shine, Herb. The seat is out entirely.

--
Constructive and Destructive
Every community posses two distinct classes of citizens, although this community is to a certain extent an exception to the general rule.
Both classes are critical as regards community affairs, but one class is constructive in its criticisms while the other is destructive.
The one sees the weak spots in our municipal life, points them out, and suggests rational methods for correction and improvement.
The class sees the faults, criticizes the authorities for permitting them to exist, but offers no sane suggestion for correction.
The man who accepts a position of authority in any community must except criticism. But he has a right to expect the public to refrain from violent criticism unless it can suggest a method of procedure that would be an improvement over the one he employs.
The public has a legitimate right to criticism its officials when it feels that criticism is due, but it should be certain of the justice of that criticism before it is uttered.
A constructive critic is an asset to any town, but the destructive one is simply a knocker.
Constructive criticism is always welcome to any high minded and well intentioned public official, but it is a thorn in the flesh to those who surrender to ulterior motives and forget the duty they owe to their constituents.
Our own officials are constructive in both their intentions and in their methods.
If you see something that needs correction, tell them so. They will welcome the information. It is team work of this kind that breeds success in the garden of life.


--
PIETY AND PIETY

Many people have a strenuous object to being termed pious. The piety of today does not consist of pulling a long face and a sour grin. That form of piety is a thing of the past.
Neither is the man with a beautiful smirk necessarily pious. Some of the worst scalawags in the world travel around with a saintly smile and endeavor to create a halo of benevolence around their ungodly brows.
That is the reason so many men object to being termed pious.
The true piety of today does not welter in the gloom of its own existence. Instead it radiates the joy of life in a manner which all men know comes from the heart and is not donned for commercial reasons. Pose as an apostle of piety? Forget it!
Give us instead the rugged honesty and simple truthfulness of a real man, who sincerely endeavors to do a little good in the world in his own humble and unobtrusive way, with no plaudits from the multitude and no thought of reward.

HUFFAKER AGAIN FEELS CALL OF PRINTERS INK; WILL BOOST THE FAIR

WAGES OF TURPENTINE MEN CUT 50 PER CENT

CARYVILLE, Fla., Nov. -
With the prices of turpentine and rosin on the downward grade, wages of men engaged in taking these products from the pine have also shown a decided inclination to follow suit, and in some cases the pay of workmen have been reduced about fifty per cent, as compared with what they were some months ago, It is claimed that there was no other alternative. In the turpentine camps, it is asserted, there are about two men to every job and it is not believed any trouble will be experienced in the labor line.

ORLANDO COUNTY CLUB FINEST IN THIS SECTION

The fact that after several years of continual improvements both of the building itself and the spacious fields and greens of the Orlando County Club, and the deep interest being taken in the sports and social events of this great social center, the board of governors have redubled their efforts within the past few weeks to make this the most popular and elaborate county club in Florida.
Last winter the Orlando County Club gained a lasting place in the hearts of tourists, and it is the pride of typical Orlando citizens to point to such a magnificent sportsman’s rendezvous at their gateway.
During the summer repairs have never stopped at the club house and on the grounds, and the extensive social program in the form of dinners and dances to begin within a few weeks and continue throughout the winter season contains some of the smartest events of Florida winter life.
Already life memberships are being sought in this club, and the associate and stockholders’ participation memberships bid fair to double that of a year ago by the opening day of the 1920-21 season.
One of the officials of the club stated last night that nothing added to the zest of social progress more than a spick and span country club. To the Country Club we have good roads, the club rooms there are elegant accommodations for members and guests, and within a few more days the acreage of the Orlando Country Club fields, because of new purchases of adjoining grounds, will resemble in size that of a small city.
Golfing, tennis and many other like sports are going on at the club daily, and several matches of semi-professions are to be started there very soon. – Orlando Sentinel.

SINCE MOTHER LEARNED HOW TO VOTE
(By Ann Douglas Mitchell)

I often go home to find no one there,
Since mother learned how to vote,
The house is dark and the cupboard is bare,
Since mother learned how to vote.

She always said she was no suffragette
Before she learned how to vote.
But now she is with all the crowds, you bet,
Who are trying to learn to vote.

She used to claim it was out of place
For a lady to want to vote,
But now she preaches ‘twould be a disgrace;
For women not to want to vote.

Yes, it’s strange how mother’s changed her view,
Since she learned how to vote,
But I don’t care to swap mothers with you,
Even tho mine knows how to vote.

A LETTER OF GENERAL PUBLIC INTEREST AND THE REPLY

Following Correspondence is of Vital Interest to Every Telephone User, Present and Prospective

“New Orleans, La., October 12, 1920

Mr. J. Epps Brown, President
Bell Telephone Co.,
Atlanta, Ga.

Dear Sir: -
I have read the advertisements of your Company, but I do not understand why you must raise your rates now, when the prices of everything else are falling. Will you please explain this?
Yours truly,
_______________”


Atlanta, Ga., October 16, 1920.
Mr. ________, New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir: --
Your letter of October 12th asks a very natural question, and one which demands a full and frank reply, which I am glad to make.
While the prices of a great many things have apparently, been reduced, these reductions in prices do not apply to articles used by the telephone company, or affect the expenditures necessary in the construction and operation of the telephone service:

Labor: More than fifty-five per cent of the total expenditures of the Company in rendering service are for wages and salaries; less than one-tenth of one per cent of this being for executive and general salaries.
The wages paid to our employees can not, and should not, be reduced. On the contrary they must be increased, in many cases, to bring our wage scale on a level with wages paid by unregulated businesses, so that we may retain our skilled employees necessary to give you efficient service.

Material and Apparatus: Many items of material and apparatus are involved in the current maintenance of the property, entirely apart from the enormous quantities involved in the construction of new property, and this represents a large item of expense.
There has been no reduction nor any indication of reduction, in the price of these essential articles, in practically all of which the labor, freight and hauling cost is by far the largest proportion of the total cost.
We know that the manufactures of telephone equipment and material have orders booked for two years in advance, with a constantly increasing demand, and which in turn makes a reduction in price in the near future more improbable.

Freight and Passenger Costs: Our annual expense for the transportation of freight and passengers is more than one million dollars. No one expects the Railroads to reduce their charges under the level of costs in rendering their service.

Rent: Except in the larger centers our central office and stocks of material are housed in rented buildings, and even in the larger centers we rent varying amounts of properties.
Like every one else, our rents have been greatly increased with no prospect of any reduction. Even in pre war days all leases for property occupied by us were renewed only at higher charges than for the previous rental periods.

Hotels: The board and lodging bill for our men, who must travel in connection with the operation and maintenance of the property costs many thousands of dollars every year, and we can see no prospect of the hotels lowering their charges. Until they do we must pay the present high charges.

Electric Power and Light; Street Car Fare. We spend many thousands of dollars every year for these services rendered to employees engaged in the maintenance of the property. In the majority of cases the rates charged by these companies have been substantially increased, and there is no thought of any reduction. The telephone Company, like all others, must pay increased rates.

Paper, Printing and Stationery: we consume tons of paper for book keeping, correspondence and directory purposes, and pay many thousands of dollars of dollars for printing annually. This item of expense has increased in percentage more than the others, and no one has suggested that any reduction in these in costs is probable.

Coal Bill: The Telephone Company purchases coal in large quantities to heat the buildings occupied by its employees in rendering the service.
We, of course, must pay whatever price is necessary to secure the coal for this purpose.

Insurance: even where the actual rate per one thousand dollars has not been increased, we are compelled to carry a larger amount of insurance than in pre-war days in order to protect ourselves in the reproduction of any of the property which may be destroyed by fire, and this is reflected in a very large increase in the total insurance bill.

Taxes: This expense, both Federal and state, County and City, has increased every year we have been in business; the increase this year being unusually high. There is no probability of this expense being reduced.
We do not pay any excess profit tax because we have never earned enough to be subject to that tax.

Buildings: It is common knowledge that the cost of erecting any kind of building now, as well as making alternations and repairs, which constantly confront the Telephone Company and which involve material, labor, freight and hauling, is on an enormous higher plane than ever before. Insofar as the cost of materials may be reduced will this total cost be reduced.
The only way we can furnished adequate facilities for your use from year to year is by constructing the buildings in which to house the central office apparatus in the larger centers; as well as enlarging existing buildings to serve the increased needs, and this work must be carried on from year to year without delay. This involves hundreds of thousands of dollars in expense to the Company.
There are, of course, many other items of expense, all of which are now at the highest level in prices none of which show any sign of reduction for fundamental reasons.
Until these necessary costs of operation are materially reduced we can not reduce the COSTS of furnishing telephone service.
We have carefully studied and analyzed the advertised reduction on prices and find that they are upon articles of which we make but little, if any, use. Applied to the telephone business all known reduction in prices would not reduce the cost of furnishing telephone services one twentieth of one per cent.
This is many times offset by the increase in wages which, in many places, we must make during the current year.
Our present operating revenues are practically equaling by our operating expenses. If the present let down in general business continues for any appreciable time we will lose a material part of the gross revenue now received, which will make a still higher rate necessary if a deficit is avoided.
We are not asking higher rates for the SAME SERVICE we furnished one, two or five years ago, but for a much GREATER SERVICE which we now furnish, consisting of facilities to add many additional telephones to our system during the past one, two and five years.
This fact should be considered when comparing the increase in rates we ask with the increase in the charges of railroad, express and other public utilities for the same quantity of service.
We hope, as every one does, that in the relatively near future prices and the costs of operation, except labor, will be lower, but we see no immediate prospects of this result as far the Telephone Company is concerned.
The increased rates we are now asking are based, in a measure, upon this hope. If the present level of costs of operation go higher, through causes beyond our control, the proposed rates will not yield a fair profit.
It is important to remember that no rate for a public utility is permanent. If conditions and prices so change in the future as to make the rates we are now asking yield too high a return, and if the Telephone Company should not reduce the rates voluntarily, the Public service Commission would.
Conditions as they are must be met, not as they may or should be.
The highest and best interest of the public is conserved in having the Telephone Company in position to supply facilities adequate to the demand for telephones and service, and in this way be prepared to render at all times an adequate service. No community can expand and grow without adequate telephone service, with in turn means adequate plant facilities.
With inadequate returns upon the bare cost of the physical property already in service, - the Company’s credit has disappeared.
With no credit the Company cannot secure the millions of dollars required to provide the additions and extensions to its plant, which must be provided if the public demand for telephone is supplied.

Respectfully yours, J. Epps Brown, President.

Ready to Take 1921 Auto Registration

Urges Auto Owners to Act at Once and to Make Applications Complete.
TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 2 –

All automobile owners and all notaries public and other officers who make a practice of attesting automobile license applications will be interested in the announcement for the comptroller’s office, that preparations are under way for the 1921 registrations. The comptroller is sending out this week a supply of application blanks and these are being distributed over the state to the best possible advantage in order to conserve paper and expenses. An initial supply has been sent to every clerk of the circuit court, every country tax collector, every national bank in the state.
In several of the cities and in many communities there has been some one or more persons who specialize in handling automobile license applications. The comptroller is ready to supply these parties with an adequate supply of automobile license application blanks, but wishes to emphasize the fact that paper is still scarce and high and that he wishes to avoid any possible wastage and would therefore appreciate if parties making requests for blanks will estimate their needs carefully and not request more than will be needed.
Mr. Amos states that the number of applications which have to be returned because of being incomplete or for correction in some particular is less now than formerly, but there are still a great many applications which he is compelled to return because they are defective in some particular. For example, the law requires that no license be issued to a person under sixteen years of age, hence the question on the blank “Is owner over sixteen years?” yet a great many fall to write “yes” in the blank. A very little thing, and yet one that will cause the application to be returned for completion.
One of the most frequent causes for returning applications is the failure of the applicant to give the model and year of the make of his car or truck. In many cases it is absolutely essential to have this data before the comptroller is able to determine what series license to assign the car. For example, to describe a car, simply as an “Overland touring” would be quite insufficient for the reason that Overland touring cars have been made in seven or eight different horse-power ratings. The same is true in regard to many other makes of automobiles and especially so in the case of trucks.
The comptroller is very anxious to impress on all those sending in applications early, that they indicate clearly whether the registration is for 1920 for 1921.
80,0000 Registrations This Year
It may be of interest to the public to know that the estimate made early in the year, that automobile registration for 1921 would likely reach 80,000 has nearly been fulfilled already. The registration numbers have to date gone to 79,300. This includes some 1,500 transfers, 2,400 chauffeurs and a few miscellaneous entries for duplicate tags. The total registration on all classes will undoubtedly go beyond 80,000, and after subtracting the registration of chauffeurs, transfers, and miscellaneous entries there will be left a net of registration of automobiles and trucks of more than 75,000.

Notice to builders
Lumber is cheap now and shipping facilities are better than for a long time past, owing to the building in the north being largely suspended as the result of cold weather. When spring comes there is no question, but prices will advance again.
So now is the time to build
We carry a large selection of roofing and shingles that will satisfy any builder, and our prices are right.
We also carry at all times a complete stock of
Brick, Lime, Cement, Plaster and Plaster Paris

BIG STRAWBERRY CROP THIS SEASON

The largest strawberry crop in several years is predicted for the Plant City section this season. Reports from the growers show an increased acreage and prospects for a better crop than that of former seasons.
Some doubt has been expressed as to whether the refrigerator boxes on hand will accommodate an unusually large crop. A shortage of refrigerators will not impede the movement of the crop, but will likely tend to lower the returns from berries, as buyers do not usually give as much for berries shipped in crates as when shipped in refrigerator boxes. It will be remembered that the refrigerator boxes ran short a day or two last season but this was due to negligence of the consignees and carriers in returning the empties promptly.
So far as can be ascertained, no probable increased demand. The boxes have been made to meet the scarcity and high prices of material and labor are the reasons assigned. The estimated cost of manufacturing these boxes, according to the estimates of some authorities, has jumped from ten to twelve to eighteen dollars apiece. With good service in returning empties, however, the more optimistic buyers think that the present supply of boxes will be sufficient. – Plant City Courier.

“WHITE CAVALCADE” MARCHES THROUGH ORLANDO STREETS

Clothed in white, five hundred strong, moving in silent single file column, unhindered by any authority or curiosity, offering no explanations other than that voiced by their leader “we are marching 1,000,000 strong throughout the south tonight,” there came from out of the night to appear for a short while on the streets of Orlando last night – presumably a revival of that great secret organization which guarded the honor of the South in the troubled days that followed the Civil War – the Klu Klux Klan. Silently they came and silently they disappeared back into the night.
The long column, led by three figures on horseback, clothed with no other sign of rank than the flowing white costume that enveloped every member from head to foot, wended its way slowly and silently through the principal streets to disappear finally out Pine street.
A veil of mystery hangs over the movements of the “white calvacade,” a mystery that no one on the streets volunteered to life. With their disappearance Orange avenue became emptied while automobiles darted hither and fro seeking the direction that the column had taken, Groups of people stood in silence on the various streets as the white figures filed by. An air if silent curiosity greeted the “white calvacade” everywhere.

WILL RAISE CANE.

Farmers of the Hastings section who pledged themselves to plant several thousand acres of cane to support the sugar refinery to be erected at Palatka before the coming fall, sent T. M. Waldron and G. w. Atkinson, two of their number, to Louisiana to investigate the growing of cane in that section of the country. The gentlemen have returned after making a thorough investigation. Mr. Waldron reports; “We found the cane growers in prosperous condition and not ready to consider planting anything else but cane, declaring it to be the most remunerative as well as the easiest crop to handle that can be produced in that state. Our land is much better for cane growing than theirs, I believe, and if the farmers in this section do not take advantage of the opportunity to diversify their crops they will be very foolish I believe.”

He is an aviator himself, having been connected with Moissant, who was one of the best in the business and Albert was among the pioneer in the flying game. Naturally he is interested and wants to see the flyers have a decent place to land and he is going ahead and making them a place with his customary energy.

ONLY FEW STUDENTS LOST ALL THEIR WARDROBE

TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 2 –

The fire which completely destroyed East Hall, one of the dormitories of the Florida State College for Women, Sunday morning between 10 and 11 o’clock, has caused a loss to the state of about $40,000. It still seems impossible to make even an approximate estimate of the property loss of the students, thought the situation seems somewhat brighter today than it did yesterday. It appears that only ten girls lost everything they had, and a goodly number of the eighty-five residents of the dormitory saved all their belongings. Others sustained losses to a greater or smaller degree, and the unfortunate ones are still running upon their personal belongings, scattered here and there over the campus.
The insurance on the building amounted to $10,000 and the insurance on the furniture amounted to $2,000. In the latter case the loss is amply covered, but the building could scarcely be put back at the present prices of labor and materials for less than $35,000.
All of the students are being cared for on the campus, the residents of the other dormitories having shown a splendid spirit of co-operation and resourcefulness and having made room for their unfortunate friends in their own rooms. The management thought best not to accept the offer of rooms in private homes throughout the city, believing that the closest personal contact with the other students would do more to relieve the anxiety and distress of the unfortunate girls than anything else.

Alumnae Clubs Came to Relief
The alumnae clubs over the state have responded to the needs most generously and several boxes of clothing have been received. One of the girls whose loss was total was taken charge of today by a prominent resident of Tallahassee and her wardrobe completely replenished. Generous purses were made up by the Elks and a number of individual donations were made for the relief of the students.
President Conradi stated this afternoon that he felt that conditions would shortly be adjusted and that the students had manifested a splendid spirit of forbearance and optimism. He also stated that both faculty and students were filled gratitude to the people of Tallahassee for the generous manner in which they rushed to offer every assistance in the calamity.

Highway conditions throughout the state are the best ever known, according to automobilists. The same applies to the roads leading into Florida. The Jacksonville-Waycross road, which has been a bug-bear for motorists for several years will have been put into first class condition by the middle of November, as large gangs of road workmen are busy there now, and by the first of the year it will have been completely hardsurfaced.

--
Announcement has been made in Orlando, of the reorganization of the Standard Growers’ Exchange in that place and the capital stock in the concern has been increased from $400,000 to $2,225,000. Some changes have been made in the management and control. The Standard is one of the big organizations of the state ungagged in handling citrus fruits. Its operations are extensive and changes made will be of importance in extending activities.

The Logical Treatment
“ENERGIZER” For Many Ills.
A prominent business man woke up last Monday with a real case of Sciatic Rheumatism. He was “Energized” twice on Thursday he was found “cleaning-house” at his store. Ask him.
A younger well-known man came in Friday with an immovable still Neck – Neuritis, probably – and in 20 minutes he went out with his neck O.K., and feeling better ALL OVER.
BUT – why wait till it strikes you? Surely there is enough PROOF all around us that “a stitch in time” is much more intelligent than any other way.
