Number 191

RIVERS AND HARBORS CONGRESS WILL MEET AT NATION’S CAPITAL.
Matter of Importance To State of Florida
OTHER STATES ALSO
THAT WANT RIVERS AND HARBORS AND BETTER WATER TRANSPORTATION
Following the preliminary announcement sent out a month ago, the official call for the Sixteenth Convention of the National Rivers Harbors Congress has now been issued. Like all the recent conventions of the Congress this will be held in the New Willard Hotel, Washington, d. c. the dates being Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the 8th, 9th and 10th of December.
While the entire program has not been announced, it is evident that there will be no lack of interesting addresses and that an unusual number of important questions will be presented for discussion. Decided differences of opinion exist on certain subjects and some live, snappy debates may be expected.
Everybody knows that waterways are very much less in the United States than they are in Europe. Maj. Gen. Lansing H. Beach, Chief of Engineers, U. S. Army, has some very positive view as to the reasons why waterways are so little that must be done before the situation can be changed.
The National Rivers and Harbors Congress took the lead in securing the important provisions for the benefit of waterways and water transportation which are included in the Transportation Act. Under one of these provisions there has been created the Division of Inland and Coastwise Waterways Service, of which Brig. Gen. W. D. Conner is chief. Among other things this Division has charge of the Government Barge Lines on the Mississippi and warrior rivers and the New York State canals.
It is no secret that most old-time steamboat men think that the towboats which have built for use on these barge lines, all of which are of the “tunnel” type, will prove to be disastrous failures. Some of the new tow-boats are now in use and a report on their performance is awaited with much interest. Gen Conner’s address will be illustrated with moving pictures.
All active workers for the improvement of waterways are familiar with the methods followed for thirty years or more in the formulation of Rivers and Harbors Bills, but mighty few of them have any idea how it is to be done in the future. Just before the close of the last session the House passed a resolution which puts all power in frame appropriation bills into the hands of a single committee, which is to be composed of thirty-five members.
It seems there is still to be a Rivers and Harbors Committee, altho it will not frame Rivers and Harbor Bills. Hon. S. Wallace Dempsey, M. C., whose home is at Lockport, N. Y., has been a member of the Committee for several years and it is understood that he will be its chairman in the next Congress. His address on “Future River and Harbor Bills” will no doubt clear up a number of points which are now obscure.
From various quarters demands are being made for still more radical changes in the methods of handling the improvements of waterways. Some urge the creation of a new Department of Public Works and others the appointment of a Waterways Commission. Some of the advocates of these two plans want to take away from Congress the power to decide what should be done and from the Army Engineers the execution of the works that are ordered. Others believe that Congress should outline a general plan and then turn over a lump sum each year to the Army ngineers to be expended according to their judgement.
There is a general impression that, among other changes that will be made by the administration that will come into power in the Fourth of March, will be a charge in the method of dealing with the improvement of rivers and harbors. If press reports of addresses made by President-elect Harding are correct, he believes a change is desirable and is inclined to favor the appointment of a commission. Further study may change his opinion, however, and a discussion of the various plans proposed should be an interesting and valuable feature of the convention.

THE NATIONAL FOREST PROGRAM CARRIED OUT
WHEN CONGRESS MEETS IN DECEMBER BILL WILL BE INTRODUCED
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.
When Congress meets in December a bill will be introduced for a national forest program including a better fire protection for the forest. “This step, following an agreement by all the industries interested, marks the first united move in this direction in this country,” says Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry Association, which announces the outline of features to be embodied in the proposed legislation. The plan calls for national appropriations of at least $11,000,000 a year.
The provisions of the measure are two-fold – for a considerable extension of direct federal activity in forest ownership and production, and for the development with federal aid and encouragement of systematic policies in the several forested states to bring about adequate forest protection and reproduction.
The program provides specifically, through co-operation between the government, the states and owners of timberlands, for adequate protection against forest fires, for reforestation (Continued on page four)

President’s Thanksgiving Proclamation
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 –
President Wilson issued his Thanksgiving Day Proclamation Friday night, saying that “in plenty, security and peace, our virtuous and self-reliant people face the future,” and setting aside Thursday, November 25, for the usual observances.
The text follows:
The season approaches when it behooves us to turn from the distractions and preoccupations of our daily life, that we may contemplate the mercies which have been vouchsafe to us, and render heartfelt and unfeigned thanks to God for His manifold goodness.
“This is an old observance of the American people, deeply imbedded in out thought and habit. The burdens and the stresses of life have their own insistence.
“We have abundant cause for thanksgiving. The lesions of the war are rapidly healing. The great army of freedom which America sent to the defense of liberty, returning to the grateful embrace of the nation, has resumed the useful pursuits of peace, as simply and as promptly as it rushed to arms in obedience to the country’s call. The equal justice of our laws has received steady vindication in the support of a law-abiding people against various and sinister attacks, which have reflected only the baser agitations of war, now happily passing.
“In plenty, security and peace our virtuous and self-reliant people face the future, its duties and its opportunities. May we have vision to discern our duties; the strength, both of hand and resolve to discharge them; and the soundness of heart to realize that the truest opportunities are those of service.
“In spirit, then, of devotion and stewardship we should give thanks in our hearts, and dedicate ourselves to the service of God’s merciful and loving purposes to His children.
“wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president of the united states of America, do hereby designate Thursday, the twenty-fifth day of November, next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and I call upon my countrymen to cease from their ordinary tasks and avocations upon that day, giving it up to the remembrance of God and His blessings, and their dutiful and grateful acknowledgement.”

ASSOCIATED DAILIES OF FLORIDA HOLD IMPORTANT MEET.
MET AT DAYTONA YESTERDAY AT THE HOME OF EDITOR FITZGERALD
The Associated Dallies of Florida met at Daytona yesterday with about twenty papers present represented by some thirty-five men and women of the Florida press gang. The meeting was called at 2 o’clock at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fitzgerald (we always include Mrs. Ed for she is ubiquitous also) and after a delicious buffet lunch of the kind that could not be served anywhere else except the Fitz’s home, the meeting was called to order by President Fitzgerald and for two hours or more matters of the greatest importance to the press of Florida were taken up.
W. A. Probert, the head of the Associated Press for the Southeast, was present and gave some very important information for the establishment of a headquarters at Jacksonville. Other representatives were present for advertising agencies and supply houses and gave information about stock and supplies and advertising and the meeting was conducive of results that will make Florida daillies bigger and better papers in the future.
While everything that enters into the daily and weekly newspaper is at the peak of high prices just at present it seems that there may be a drop in the price of newspaper some time next spring which is the first ray of hope the newspaper men have had in months.
The daily papers of Jacksonville, Pensacola, Lakeland, Orlando, St. Augustine, Palatka, DeLand, Daytona, Miami, Sanford and several other cities were represented ae the meeting and the next session will be held on December 12th at Jacksonville.

DAIRY INSPECTION IN AND AROUND CITY WILL BE MADE MONTHLY
State Board of Health Is On the Job
WILL BE PUBLISHED
IN THE HERALD WITH THE PERCENTAGE ATTAINED BY EACH DAIRY.
The dairies in and around Sanford will be inspected every month from this time forward and the percentage of each one will be given in the Sanford Herald if the plans of The State Board of Health are carried out. This much was plain by D. H. Osborne, of the State Board of Health after his visit here last Saturday.
He visited every one of the places where cows are kept by people who sell milk in Sanford or as many of them as he could learn about. He found some of them all right and he found some of them that were not all right and he warned those not all right to get right by the time he made his next round or they would be stopped from selling milk.
In other words he gives all of them fair warning before he comes down on them and gives then 20 days in which to clean up their places and keep them clean and they will then be graded according to their sanitary measures adopted in order to have clean and pure milk for sale. The city commissioners will issue permits to sell milk only to those who have a mark over 60 per cent which is the very lowest they can score and get by with.
When they are scored they will. When they are scored they will be published in the paper and the consumers can see the score of the various dairies and how the stand. Each dairy was given the rules and regulations governing the dairies of the state and the laws on the same and these will be rigidly enforced.
The Herald will not say anything about the dairies or how they would be secured today but will state that Mr. Osborne was not satisfied with some of them and as he has made an honest endeavor all over his territory to get better regulations in keeping clean dairies it is not his territory to get better regulations in keeping clean dairies it is not his intention to work a hardship on anyone but simply to have all the dairies adopt the rules and regulations laid down by the state board of health in order to safeguard the health of the community and in this work he should have the co-operation of all the dairies and the commissioners and the public generally.

MEN’S CLUB OF HOLY CROSS
A good, enthusiastic meeting of the Men’s Parish Club was held in the Parish House last Wednesday night, which marked the successful progress on the “White Way” to be established about the church property on the two avenues and street. The committee in charge are Mr. G. F. Smith, Mr. Lincoln and Mrs. A. F. McAllister.
After other business providing for some large successful matters to be announced later, the members adjourned by “a sing” under the leadership of Mr. A. H. Stone and followed by refreshments of which committee Mr. Deane Turner is chairman.
After the meeting, the men went to the bowling alleys. Three teams are already organized under the captaincies of Archie Betts, Frank Giles and R. R. Deas. A bowling challenge is out against the the Senior Chapter Brotherhood of S. Andrew Chapter 425 (Tuesday night Chapter) which will mark some fast bowling this winter in Sanford.
B. F. Whitner, president of the Men’s Club, will be pleased to have other men join the work which this large successful club is doing.

B. S. A.
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew, Senior and Junior Chapters of Holy Cross Parish are forging ahead in all ways. Steady work is bringing the Brotherhood House nearer to full completion. Much of the new athletic equipment has come – two new basketballs; two new sets of boxing gloves; volley balls and net; medicine ball; two punching bags (one donated by Robert Holly); these things to be followed now by some gymnasium outfit- mats, ladder, rings, etc. In this constant growth and expansion of the B.S.A. the lads and young men of the city are getting the same and added benefits of one of the finest equipped “Y” or Club houses.
This work is not all for “self,” for during the month contributions have been added to some local charities, to the “Advent Box” in the way of new toys for the mountain of children of the West Virginia Mission, and contribution of our part in money to the new tower being added to Holy Cross Monastery on the Hudson river, new York, of which Father Huntington (who will be remembered here) is the Superior and founder.
Chapter meetings are every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and nights.

MRS. MARIS DIES IN PHILADELPHIA
There are many hearts in Sanford and in Seminole county that will be saddened by the news of the passing of Mrs. George l. Maris at the home of her daughter in Philadelphia on Friday, November 12th, after a protracted illness.
Prof. and Mrs. Maris came to Florida some thirteen years ago, made and beautified a comfortable home on Lake Onoro, and from the first they took an honored place in the higher intellectual life in this community. Mrs. Maris was the beloved president of the Wednesday club for some time before it became a part of the Woman’s Club of Sanford and could always be depended upon for thorough and painstaking work, and for progressive thought.
As a neighbor, she surely deserved the beautiful title of Friend which she and Professor Maris bore so happily from their Quarker ancestry. Her quiet sympathy, her loyal love and her cheerful spirit, will linger long with those who came close enough to realize how devoted and unselfish was her life, and all hearts go out to her husband and their two children in their sorrow.
Professor Maris is making his home with his daughter, Helen, at 2039 north 29th street, Philadelphia, Pa.

SOLID CARLOAD OF VEGETABLE LEAVES WAUCHULA SECTION
WAUCHULA, Nov. 15-
Although vegetables have been going out by express the few weeks, the first solid car load of the fall season left here last week. It consisted mostly of peppers and was loaded by J. T. Bush.
About 200 crates of mixed vegetables are going out by express daily consisting of peppers, egg plants, beans and cukes. Peppers and egg plants are selling at the station at $2.50 per crate; beans are bringing $3 per hamper at the station and cukes $3.50 per crate.
Owing to the unfavorable season last fall and the high cost of fertilization and labor, the fall crop in this section is not as large as usual, but with a few weeks of favorable weather those who ventured a fall crop will receive good returns, judging by present indications.
While the Alexander & Baird Co., packing house has been running the past two weeks packing early fruit, the other three packing houses, the Wauchula Sub-Exchange Packing house, A. G. Smith’s packing house and Chase & Company’s packing house opened this week and are now putting up fruit. Up to yesterday thirty-eight car loads of citrus fruit, mostly oranges, had been shipped from Wauchula. The prices f. o. b. have averaged between $3 and $3.50 per box.

FLORIDA NOT BENEFITTED
Not One of States Affected by Reduction of One Cent Per Gallon At Wagon.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15 –
Tank wagon prices of gasoline will be reduced one cent a gallon today in states which the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and the Standard Oil Company Of Louisiana operate, it was announced here last night by Walter C. Teagle, president of the New Jersey company.
States in which the reduction will be effective include New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and the District of Columbia in which the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey operates, and in Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas, in which the Louisiana company operates.
The reduction in price is not the result of lower costs, either of crude oil or labor, Mr. Teagle said, but is a movement on the part of the company to aid in lowering of prices as part of the general commercial adjustment.
Prices of tank wagon gasoline under the reduction will vary in the different states, it was explained, owing to differences in freight costs. The effect upon the retail price generally was not predicted by company officials. In New Orleans the price will be reduced to twenty-eight and half cents today. The present New Orleans price is from thirty-one to thirty-three cents.

OASIS IN CUBA DRAWS HOBO ARMY FROM UNITED STATES.
(By The Associated Press)
HAVANA, Nov. 13. –
About the only persons seen on the streets of Havana who show symptoms of overindulgence in intoxicants are Americans. This does not mean, however, that all the Americans who come here to drink to excess.
Beer and light wines are so much a part of the Latin life that it has no intoxicating effect. They drink moderately. But some visitors from the dry land seem to drink constantly, once they find a bar.
To Americans, however, the most disagreeable and sickening picture is the hobo from home, a hopeless, wretched figure that infests hotel lobbies. His panhandling is brazen. They pick out people speaking their own language, and without shame boldly announce that they want money for drinks. They long ago discarded the appeal for help to get the other shirt from the laundry.
Most of these unfortunates did not follow the flag; they followed the whiskey trail, generally as stowaways or in shep crews they deserted, once within swimming distance on the docks. But for passport regulations, Havana police authorities say, there would be hundreds here from the states with a trist and no visible means of support.
Cuba happens to be the nearest ‘foreign country’ to the states, and government officials here declare that much of the growing travel is due to the fact that the islands isn’t dry. It is a big item of revenue, and has helped to put up prices for everything.

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 men 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 yea. 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.

THE MING TOMBS OF NANKING. AMERICAN SAILORS SEE HISTORICAL CHINA.
THE MING TOMBS OF NANKING.
If you were to visit the Orient on an American man-o’-war and make the trip from Manila to Shanghai through China Sea and enter the Yang Tse Kiang River, the largest in the world, and your ship should stop at Nanking, you would see some very interesting sights.
It has been the pleasure of many American bluejackets to make the cruise. It has been their duty to navigate the Great Yang Tse as far as Hankau (600 miles) and many of the smaller ships have braved the rapids as far as Chung King (1200 miles). The river lends an imposing sight to the visitor, and there are many interesting land marks to be seen. Chinkiang, a beautiful little city is passed on the left yet there are many villages of striking picturesqueness along the banks of this widely-heralded stream.
Nanking, meanong Southern Capitol, is 205 miles from Shanghai. The city owes its name to having been the capitol of the Empire, the last occasion being in the Ming dynasty at the beginning of the 15th century. The city is surrounded by great walls varying from forty to ninety feet in height and from twenty to forty feet in thickness. These alls are said to have been built in the fifth and sixth centuries, B. C.
Nanking is the home of the celebrated mausoleum of Emperor Hung Wu – died in 1398 – with other great monuments known as the Ming Tombs. There are many interesting ruins in and near the city, including those of Hung Wu’s palace. The Ming Tombs are the most interesting in China, and have probably been photographed more by American naval men than any other statues or temples in the Empire. The famous porcelain tower of nine stories, and over two hundred feet high, is also very interesting.
In Nanking one can either ride in carriages, jinrickshas, or automobiles, and the latter may be secured as well as the former for sightseeing in and around the city. Sailormen making the trip up the river are prone to take advantage of these wonderful sights, and there is probably no body of tourists who become more familiar with China’s history than the American men-o’-wars-men.

USALA AND GRAPEVILLE
Little Dorothy Krell was ill the first of the week and her parents took her in to see Dr. Langley a few times and she is much better.
Raymond Boyd, of Sanford, spent a part of Sunday at the home of his cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Cruse.
Mr. and Mrs. Will Robinson were visitors at the home of Mrs. J. A. Vaughn on election day. Mrs. Vaughn tells us she was one that was proud to go in and cast her vote for Cox and Charley Hand – and I gather the last came first with her.
Dr. Denton has been called out twice to attend Claire, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Bertleson.
A number from this section were visiting Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Peterson at Holly Hill.
Word came that her sister, Mrs. Sjoblom, of Knoxville, Tenn., was operated upon Sunday.
We learn that Mr. and Mrs. Borell are making some improvements on their home, enclosing in a room and reroofing parts of their house.
Mrs. Beck and Mrs. Hodkins were spending Wednesday with Mrs. Westerdick, having a good time, helping her get a quilt off.
A number of ladies, Mrs. Borell, Mrs. Magnuson, Mrs. Ericson, Mrs. Ballinger lent a hand to help clean the church Thursday. Mrs. Ebba Lee and baby also came in to encourage us.
Mrs. Tyner and children with Miss Eunice and Elmer, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Krell, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Lee, Mrs. Borell and Mrs. Magnuson, Mrs. E. W. Lundquist with Raymond, Clarence Busquist, Archie Swanson were among those attending the Armistice day program besides a number of the school children, all say it was fine.
Rev. Brower, of Sanford, has offered to preach for us once again, next Sunday afternoon. Sunday school at 3:00.
We always count it a great treat to have Dr. Brower and this may be our last time.
Upsala seems to have more than its share of anake scares this year but fortunately no one has been killed. Last Saturday we were all so worried about little Adrian, the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Lundquist, as he was bitten on the second finger of his left hand by a small diamond back. He was hoeing some grass for his chicks and stooped to pull a bunch close to the fence when the snake struck him and brought blood.
His mother banded his finger at once, calling for Mrs. John Lindquist. They killed the snake and got Mrs. Campbell to take the boy to the hospital and in three-fourths of an hour Dr. Puleston was attending him there. He was allowed to return home that night, going down a few times since to have the wound dressed, so we trust he is out of danger. The second day the arm swelled to the elbow.
We had a fine time as we expected Sunday, besides most of the Eupsala folks. Rev. Albertson and wife of DeLand, Dr. Conway and wife and Miss Ruth Whittaker, of Orange City. Dr. Conway brought out the contrasts, showing how Jesus the Christ could be the little child, the son given and yet the everlasting father. Miss whittacker played for us.
At the basket dinner Mr. and Mrs. Dunn and children, of Lake Mary with Dr. Edwards, of Jacksonville, came prepared to join us and we all broke bread together under the trees. Elmer Tyler got a snap shot us. Mrs. Albertson gave us a temperance poem, having been herself a strong temperance worker. Rev. Edwards followed, speaking earnestly on “Follow Me”. Mrs. Jack Vaughn and Mr. Swan, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Coller, Mrs. Gleason and son Clyde, were among those present.
Rev. Edwards was entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Bertleson while among us.

WILL CONVERT SOUTH
POINT ISABEL, Tex., Nov 15 –
President-elect Harding, whose outing at Point Isabel ends next Wednesday, has agreed to deliver an address in New Orleans on the following day just before he sails for his voyage to Panama. He will speak at a luncheon of the New Orleans Association of Commerce and is expected to discuss in particular the economic possibilities and requirements of the South and the need for a national industrial policy uninfluenced by sectional interests.
Leaving Brownville at 10 o’ clock Wednesday morning in a special train, he will try to avoid rear platform speeches on the way northward along the Gulf coast and by a fast run will reach New Orleans Thursday morning. His steamer sails that afternoon.
Senator Harding’s decision to accept the New Orleans speaking invitation means that in consonance with his oft-repeated ambition to obliterate sectionalism, his first three formal addresses as president-elect are to be delivered within the territory of the old Confederacy and in states that long have been pillars of the Democratic solid South. The first of these addresses was delivered in Brownville, Tex., and the third has been scheduled for December 5th at Bedford, Va.

Every time we meet with the newspaper men of Florida it gives us the feeling that we have the best bunch of scribes in the United States. They have the goods and they are getting out fine papers despite the high cost of everything that enters into the publishing business. We want to entertain them in Sanford some time soon and get some celery in their systems (maybe celery tonic if some can be found).
-
It is well that Sanford is to have milk inspection and to follow that it would be well to have meat inspection. Too long have we waited for both and only the fact that the city of Sanford is the healthiest city in the United States has kept off an epidemic of disease that could have come from either the milk or other food supplies. More care should be exercised by the people who raise these products and by the people who handle them. The law governs these cases.

New Smyrna is still agitating the matter of a free bridge over the St. Johns at Osteen ferry. This question will never be settled until it is settled right. The State Road Department is building about a dozen free bridges over West Florida rivers, and is even talking of a bridge three miles long over Escambia bay. The state, so far as The News knows, has built no bridges in South and East Florida, where most of the taxes are paid. The counties and communities and private parties have built all the bridges in this section of the state. – DeLand News.
-
We believe the new state road department will consider some of the needs of this part of Florida as well as other parts. However, we still content that Volusia county laid down on the job of bridge building at the St. Johns river crossings and other places in the county. In fact Volusia is beset with toll bridges and they are a serious drawback to development.

TAKE A MEMBERSHIP
It will be heartening to the glorious cause of the American Red Cross if people everywhere will sign up early this week in the fourth annual roll call. This occasion brings back vividly the days of the World War when enthusiasm ran high and people were eager to contribute to one cause or another in connection with the mighty struggle. In those days the call was terribly urgent but even yet the need for Red Cross ministrations has not ceased. The end of the war has not brought an end to famine and suffering and want and the ravages of disease nor has made it unnecessary to continue to care for the health of communities. We still owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the Red Cross. Let us demonstrate this sense of obligation by promptly inscribing our names in the roll of honor.

ELEPHANT LIKES MONEY.
An elephant with a craving for paper money has to be watched. Such an elephant is “Baby Sue” one of the Johhny J. Jones animals at the Southeastern Fair at Lakewood. In war times, when the Red Cross was putting on its drive and the other war organizations were campaigning for funds, “Baby Sue” helped to collect funds. She went up and down the streets of towns where the show appeared, carrying a bucket in her snout. She would hold out the bucket and make an appeal for funds that was usually answered by liberal contributions. But she had to be watched, as she would eat the paper money that was put into her bucket. She would deliberately set down the basket, extract the bill and eat them with as much relish as though they were peanuts. After she had consumed many dollars, the attendant who was with her on tour, kept an eye on the bucket and when a bill was put into it would get the bill out before “Sue” had a chance to consume it. Many persons, seeing the trainer take the paper money from the bucker and being ignorant of “Sne’s” craving for bills, would wonder if the bills were being kept by the trainer. “Sue” collected a total of about $14,000 for war work organizations.
Edward R. salter, publicity man of the Johnny J. Jones’ Exposition is always emphatic in his declarations that the Johnny J. Jones Expositions is the greatest outdoor amusement of its class in the world and bases his statement largely upon the fact every new form of amusement or riding device that is brought out, first make sits appearance with this organization. The latest innovation is a riding device called “The Dodgem” and it is the first and only one in operation. The “trying out’ test was put up to the patrons of the Southeastern Fair.
The modus operandi of the new cars somewhat reminds the spectator of witnessing a person’s first attempt to master a tin lizzie. There are fifteen cars upon a platform 40 by 150 feet. The cars are operated and steered individually by the rider. No skill is required, you simply grasp the familiar steering wheel, step on the pedal and away you go. With a little practice you are enabled to Dodgem (maybe). It is a question which drives the most fun, the skilled or the unskilled operator. The cars, like a mule’s disposition, steers just the opposite to all set rules. – Atlanta American.

Do Your Fall Shopping Before the Holiday Rush
Excuse for postponing your fall shopping are no longer in order.
It should be done now – at once – before the holiday rush sets in. You can shop thoughtfully, leisurely and economically if you shop now. But if you wait until the Christmas rush sets in, you must buy hastily and inefficiently, and therefore extravagantly.
Shop now. Make a list of all that the family will need – heavier clothes for the cooler weather, new shoes, new hats, that new furniture you have been discussing, linen and silverware for bed and table.
These you will find now in pleasing selections on the shelves and counters of the local stores – fresh fall stock at the new lower prices that please us all.
Make up your list now – and be sure to look for suggestions and prices in the advertisements in the Daily Herald. It is always well to read the ads before shopping, and they will be found particularly helpful now.
The season heavy fall buying really begins tomorrow. You’re your selections early.

LARGE BABOON ADOPTS FAMILY OF PUPPIES
It is well known fact that the ordinary house cat has been known to adopt an entire family of puppies, and on rare occasions a mother dog has reared beasts of the jungle variety, but never in the annals of zoology has a member of the monkey family been known to “mother’ a family of puppies until Fifi, one of the star actresses in Minnie Thompson’s troupe of statue canines with the Sparks circus recently gave birth to four healthy English setters puppies.
As it happens Fifi enacts very importatnt roles in the canine dramas and statue numbers presented under the “big top” and during the performance cannot devote much of her time to the babies; therefore it fell to Miss Thompson to provide an efficient nurse during FiFi’s trenspan duties.
Ever since the birth of the youngsters, Joe, a large, good natured baboon of the dog-face variety, who occupies an adjoining cage in the Menagerie seems to show such an untiring interest in the babies, that finally Miss Thompson carefully approached his cake with one of the fuzzy mites, when to her surprise, he held out both arms and upon receiving it, immediately began to “coo” in true monkey language and fondle it as only a mother’s instinct knows – in fact he proved to be such an adept in the role of nurse, that the babies quickly adopted him and during Fifi’s absence in the ring, it is one of the daily sights of the Sparks Menagerie to see this simian nurse fondling his little charge. Undoubtedly Joe’s cage will be the center of attraction for all the kiddies when the circus comes to Sanford on Tuesday, November 23rd.

Provision for studies and experiment in forest reproduction methods, wood utilization, timber tests, wood preservation, development of by-products and other steps to bring about the most effective use of the nation’s forest resources.
Provision for a study of forest taxation, to assist states in devising tax laws which will encourage the conservation and growing of timber. Also of methods of insuring against forest losses by fire.
Provision for more rapid replanting of the vast areas of denuded land within the national forests.
Appropriation of $10,000,000 a year for five years for the purchase of lands, which should be added to the national forest system, whether or not on the headwaters of navigable streams as such purchases are now limited.
Authorizing the addition to national forests of lands now in other forms of government ownership but found chiefly suitable for permanent forest production.
“The very great importance of this program and the suggestion outlined cannot be overestimated,” said Mr. Pack.
“They effect every state in the Union and the business interest of every state which means that every man who wants to build a home who wants to get along, will be affected by this important legislation.
“It so happens this united move for a national forest policy,” continues Mr. Pack, “comes at an opportune time ant its importance to the welfare of every citizen cannot be overestimated. The plan ties up with water power development and the coal situation. When we put the millions of waste power to work, the coal situation will begin to right itself. Water power development and reforestation should go hand in hand. We are at the door of great commercial development. Let us open that door.”

WOMAN SERGEANT BURIED WITH HONORS, FOUGHT FOR POLAND.
WARSAW, Oct. 21. – (By Mail). –
All Warsaw turned out for the funeral the other day of Sergeant Sophie Poukopwicz, a member of Poland’s Woman’s Battalion, who was called here “the heroine of Plock.” She died from wounds inflicted with a Russian sword and the “Nahajka” of Cossack’s whip whish she received at Plock during the drive against Warsaw. As a final tribute the American nurses who attended her at the hospital and the entire personnel of the American Red Cross in Warsaw went to her funeral.
All Warsaw knew her story and there were many moist eyes that gazed at the plain white painted pine board coffin containing the girl-soldier as it was borne through the streets on the shoulders of her fighting comrades, all girls from the Women’s Battalion.
Sergeant Sophie was a veteran of Poland’s great war, which in the minds of most Poles began when the world war ended in November, 1918. She was 22 years of age and was one of the original members of the Woman’s Battalion which was formed late in 1918 for the purpose of defending Lemberg against the Ukrainians. She was wounded three times, first at Lemberg again at Vilna and last while leading her company against the Russians at Plock.
She typified the spirit of Poland today. There are 600 like her in the Woman’s Battalion. Officers in the army from Pilsudski down admit that the mere existence of this battalion exercised a wonderful effect upon the popular imagination, upon recruiting and even upon the soldiers in the recent heavy fighting.
The age limits for privates in the battalion are 17 and 33. Most of the women who have joined are of humble origin, and come from semi-stagnant industrial centers such as Lodz. The economic problem has had something to do with their continued existence as soldiers but they have shown great enthusiasm and bravery. They have had many casualties.

RIVERS AND HARBORS CONGRESS WILL MEET AT NATION’S CAPITAL.
Matter of Importance To State of Florida
OTHER STATES ALSO
THAT WANT RIVERS AND HARBORS AND BETTER WATER TRANSPORTATION
Following the preliminary announcement sent out a month ago, the official call for the Sixteenth Convention of the National Rivers Harbors Congress has now been issued. Like all the recent conventions of the Congress this will be held in the New Willard Hotel, Washington, d. c. the dates being Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the 8th, 9th and 10th of December.
While the entire program has not been announced, it is evident that there will be no lack of interesting addresses and that an unusual number of important questions will be presented for discussion. Decided differences of opinion exist on certain subjects and some live, snappy debates may be expected.
Everybody knows that waterways are very much less in the United States than they are in Europe. Maj. Gen. Lansing H. Beach, Chief of Engineers, U. S. Army, has some very positive view as to the reasons why waterways are so little that must be done before the situation can be changed.
The National Rivers and Harbors Congress took the lead in securing the important provisions for the benefit of waterways and water transportation which are included in the Transportation Act. Under one of these provisions there has been created the Division of Inland and Coastwise Waterways Service, of which Brig. Gen. W. D. Conner is chief. Among other things this Division has charge of the Government Barge Lines on the Mississippi and warrior rivers and the New York State canals.
It is no secret that most old-time steamboat men think that the towboats which have built for use on these barge lines, all of which are of the “tunnel” type, will prove to be disastrous failures. Some of the new tow-boats are now in use and a report on their performance is awaited with much interest. Gen Conner’s address will be illustrated with moving pictures.
All active workers for the improvement of waterways are familiar with the methods followed for thirty years or more in the formulation of Rivers and Harbors Bills, but mighty few of them have any idea how it is to be done in the future. Just before the close of the last session the House passed a resolution which puts all power in frame appropriation bills into the hands of a single committee, which is to be composed of thirty-five members.
It seems there is still to be a Rivers and Harbors Committee, altho it will not frame Rivers and Harbor Bills. Hon. S. Wallace Dempsey, M. C., whose home is at Lockport, N. Y., has been a member of the Committee for several years and it is understood that he will be its chairman in the next Congress. His address on “Future River and Harbor Bills” will no doubt clear up a number of points which are now obscure.
From various quarters demands are being made for still more radical changes in the methods of handling the improvements of waterways. Some urge the creation of a new Department of Public Works and others the appointment of a Waterways Commission. Some of the advocates of these two plans want to take away from Congress the power to decide what should be done and from the Army Engineers the execution of the works that are ordered. Others believe that Congress should outline a general plan and then turn over a lump sum each year to the Army ngineers to be expended according to their judgement.
There is a general impression that, among other changes that will be made by the administration that will come into power in the Fourth of March, will be a charge in the method of dealing with the improvement of rivers and harbors. If press reports of addresses made by President-elect Harding are correct, he believes a change is desirable and is inclined to favor the appointment of a commission. Further study may change his opinion, however, and a discussion of the various plans proposed should be an interesting and valuable feature of the convention.

THE NATIONAL FOREST PROGRAM CARRIED OUT
WHEN CONGRESS MEETS IN DECEMBER BILL WILL BE INTRODUCED
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.
When Congress meets in December a bill will be introduced for a national forest program including a better fire protection for the forest. “This step, following an agreement by all the industries interested, marks the first united move in this direction in this country,” says Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry Association, which announces the outline of features to be embodied in the proposed legislation. The plan calls for national appropriations of at least $11,000,000 a year.
The provisions of the measure are two-fold – for a considerable extension of direct federal activity in forest ownership and production, and for the development with federal aid and encouragement of systematic policies in the several forested states to bring about adequate forest protection and reproduction.
The program provides specifically, through co-operation between the government, the states and owners of timberlands, for adequate protection against forest fires, for reforestation (Continued on page four)

President’s Thanksgiving Proclamation
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 –
President Wilson issued his Thanksgiving Day Proclamation Friday night, saying that “in plenty, security and peace, our virtuous and self-reliant people face the future,” and setting aside Thursday, November 25, for the usual observances.
The text follows:
The season approaches when it behooves us to turn from the distractions and preoccupations of our daily life, that we may contemplate the mercies which have been vouchsafe to us, and render heartfelt and unfeigned thanks to God for His manifold goodness.
“This is an old observance of the American people, deeply imbedded in out thought and habit. The burdens and the stresses of life have their own insistence.
“We have abundant cause for thanksgiving. The lesions of the war are rapidly healing. The great army of freedom which America sent to the defense of liberty, returning to the grateful embrace of the nation, has resumed the useful pursuits of peace, as simply and as promptly as it rushed to arms in obedience to the country’s call. The equal justice of our laws has received steady vindication in the support of a law-abiding people against various and sinister attacks, which have reflected only the baser agitations of war, now happily passing.
“In plenty, security and peace our virtuous and self-reliant people face the future, its duties and its opportunities. May we have vision to discern our duties; the strength, both of hand and resolve to discharge them; and the soundness of heart to realize that the truest opportunities are those of service.
“In spirit, then, of devotion and stewardship we should give thanks in our hearts, and dedicate ourselves to the service of God’s merciful and loving purposes to His children.
“wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president of the united states of America, do hereby designate Thursday, the twenty-fifth day of November, next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and I call upon my countrymen to cease from their ordinary tasks and avocations upon that day, giving it up to the remembrance of God and His blessings, and their dutiful and grateful acknowledgement.”

ASSOCIATED DAILIES OF FLORIDA HOLD IMPORTANT MEET.
MET AT DAYTONA YESTERDAY AT THE HOME OF EDITOR FITZGERALD
The Associated Dallies of Florida met at Daytona yesterday with about twenty papers present represented by some thirty-five men and women of the Florida press gang. The meeting was called at 2 o’clock at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fitzgerald (we always include Mrs. Ed for she is ubiquitous also) and after a delicious buffet lunch of the kind that could not be served anywhere else except the Fitz’s home, the meeting was called to order by President Fitzgerald and for two hours or more matters of the greatest importance to the press of Florida were taken up.
W. A. Probert, the head of the Associated Press for the Southeast, was present and gave some very important information for the establishment of a headquarters at Jacksonville. Other representatives were present for advertising agencies and supply houses and gave information about stock and supplies and advertising and the meeting was conducive of results that will make Florida daillies bigger and better papers in the future.
While everything that enters into the daily and weekly newspaper is at the peak of high prices just at present it seems that there may be a drop in the price of newspaper some time next spring which is the first ray of hope the newspaper men have had in months.
The daily papers of Jacksonville, Pensacola, Lakeland, Orlando, St. Augustine, Palatka, DeLand, Daytona, Miami, Sanford and several other cities were represented ae the meeting and the next session will be held on December 12th at Jacksonville.

DAIRY INSPECTION IN AND AROUND CITY WILL BE MADE MONTHLY
State Board of Health Is On the Job
WILL BE PUBLISHED
IN THE HERALD WITH THE PERCENTAGE ATTAINED BY EACH DAIRY.
The dairies in and around Sanford will be inspected every month from this time forward and the percentage of each one will be given in the Sanford Herald if the plans of The State Board of Health are carried out. This much was plain by D. H. Osborne, of the State Board of Health after his visit here last Saturday.
He visited every one of the places where cows are kept by people who sell milk in Sanford or as many of them as he could learn about. He found some of them all right and he found some of them that were not all right and he warned those not all right to get right by the time he made his next round or they would be stopped from selling milk.
In other words he gives all of them fair warning before he comes down on them and gives then 20 days in which to clean up their places and keep them clean and they will then be graded according to their sanitary measures adopted in order to have clean and pure milk for sale. The city commissioners will issue permits to sell milk only to those who have a mark over 60 per cent which is the very lowest they can score and get by with.
When they are scored they will. When they are scored they will be published in the paper and the consumers can see the score of the various dairies and how the stand. Each dairy was given the rules and regulations governing the dairies of the state and the laws on the same and these will be rigidly enforced.
The Herald will not say anything about the dairies or how they would be secured today but will state that Mr. Osborne was not satisfied with some of them and as he has made an honest endeavor all over his territory to get better regulations in keeping clean dairies it is not his territory to get better regulations in keeping clean dairies it is not his intention to work a hardship on anyone but simply to have all the dairies adopt the rules and regulations laid down by the state board of health in order to safeguard the health of the community and in this work he should have the co-operation of all the dairies and the commissioners and the public generally.

MEN’S CLUB OF HOLY CROSS
A good, enthusiastic meeting of the Men’s Parish Club was held in the Parish House last Wednesday night, which marked the successful progress on the “White Way” to be established about the church property on the two avenues and street. The committee in charge are Mr. G. F. Smith, Mr. Lincoln and Mrs. A. F. McAllister.
After other business providing for some large successful matters to be announced later, the members adjourned by “a sing” under the leadership of Mr. A. H. Stone and followed by refreshments of which committee Mr. Deane Turner is chairman.
After the meeting, the men went to the bowling alleys. Three teams are already organized under the captaincies of Archie Betts, Frank Giles and R. R. Deas. A bowling challenge is out against the the Senior Chapter Brotherhood of S. Andrew Chapter 425 (Tuesday night Chapter) which will mark some fast bowling this winter in Sanford.

B. S. A.
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew, Senior and Junior Chapters of Holy Cross Parish are forging ahead in all ways. Steady work is bringing the Brotherhood House nearer to full completion. Much of the new athletic equipment has come – two new basketballs; two new sets of boxing gloves; volley balls and net; medicine ball; two punching bags (one donated by Robert Holly); these things to be followed now by some gymnasium outfit- mats, ladder, rings, etc. In this constant growth and expansion of the B.S.A. the lads and young men of the city are getting the same and added benefits of one of the finest equipped “Y” or Club houses.
This work is not all for “self,” for during the month contributions have been added to some local charities, to the “Advent Box” in the way of new toys for the mountain of children of the West Virginia Mission, and contribution of our part in money to the new tower being added to Holy Cross Monastery on the Hudson river, new York, of which Father Huntington (who will be remembered here) is the Superior and founder.

MRS. MARIS DIES IN PHILADELPHIA
There are many hearts in Sanford and in Seminole county that will be saddened by the news of the passing of Mrs. George l. Maris at the home of her daughter in Philadelphia on Friday, November 12th, after a protracted illness.
Prof. and Mrs. Maris came to Florida some thirteen years ago, made and beautified a comfortable home on Lake Onoro, and from the first they took an honored place in the higher intellectual life in this community. Mrs. Maris was the beloved president of the Wednesday club for some time before it became a part of the Woman’s Club of Sanford and could always be depended upon for thorough and painstaking work, and for progressive thought.
As a neighbor, she surely deserved the beautiful title of Friend which she and Professor Maris bore so happily from their Quarker ancestry. Her quiet sympathy, her loyal love and her cheerful spirit, will linger long with those who came close enough to realize how devoted and unselfish was her life, and all hearts go out to her husband and their two children in their sorrow.
Professor Maris is making his home with his daughter, Helen, at 2039 north 29th street, Philadelphia, Pa.

SOLID CARLOAD OF VEGETABLE LEAVES WAUCHULA SECTION
WAUCHULA, Nov. 15-
Although vegetables have been going out by express the few weeks, the first solid car load of the fall season left here last week. It consisted mostly of peppers and was loaded by J. T. Bush.
About 200 crates of mixed vegetables are going out by express daily consisting of peppers, egg plants, beans and cukes. Peppers and egg plants are selling at the station at $2.50 per crate; beans are bringing $3 per hamper at the station and cukes $3.50 per crate.
Owing to the unfavorable season last fall and the high cost of fertilization and labor, the fall crop in this section is not as large as usual, but with a few weeks of favorable weather those who ventured a fall crop will receive good returns, judging by present indications.
While the Alexander & Baird Co., packing house has been running the past two weeks packing early fruit, the other three packing houses, the Wauchula Sub-Exchange Packing house, A. G. Smith’s packing house and Chase & Company’s packing house opened this week and are now putting up fruit. Up to yesterday thirty-eight car loads of citrus fruit, mostly oranges, had been shipped from Wauchula. The prices f. o. b. have averaged between $3 and $3.50 per box.

FLORIDA NOT BENEFITTED
Not One of States Affected by Reduction of One Cent Per Gallon At Wagon.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15 –
Tank wagon prices of gasoline will be reduced one cent a gallon today in states which the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and the Standard Oil Company Of Louisiana operate, it was announced here last night by Walter C. Teagle, president of the New Jersey company.
States in which the reduction will be effective include New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and the District of Columbia in which the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey operates, and in Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas, in which the Louisiana company operates.
The reduction in price is not the result of lower costs, either of crude oil or labor, Mr. Teagle said, but is a movement on the part of the company to aid in lowering of prices as part of the general commercial adjustment.
Prices of tank wagon gasoline under the reduction will vary in the different states, it was explained, owing to differences in freight costs. The effect upon the retail price generally was not predicted by company officials. In New Orleans the price will be reduced to twenty-eight and half cents today. The present New Orleans price is from thirty-one to thirty-three cents.

OASIS IN CUBA DRAWS HOBO ARMY FROM UNITED STATES.
(By The Associated Press)
HAVANA, Nov. 13. –
About the only persons seen on the streets of Havana who show symptoms of overindulgence in intoxicants are Americans. This does not mean, however, that all the Americans who come here to drink to excess.
Beer and light wines are so much a part of the Latin life that it has no intoxicating effect. They drink moderately. But some visitors from the dry land seem to drink constantly, once they find a bar.
To Americans, however, the most disagreeable and sickening picture is the hobo from home, a hopeless, wretched figure that infests hotel lobbies. His panhandling is brazen. They pick out people speaking their own language, and without shame boldly announce that they want money for drinks. They long ago discarded the appeal for help to get the other shirt from the laundry.
Most of these unfortunates did not follow the flag; they followed the whiskey trail, generally as stowaways or in shep crews they deserted, once within swimming distance on the docks. But for passport regulations, Havana police authorities say, there would be hundreds here from the states with a trist and no visible means of support.
Cuba happens to be the nearest ‘foreign country’ to the states, and government officials here declare that much of the growing travel is due to the fact that the islands isn’t dry. It is a big item of revenue, and has helped to put up prices for everything.

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 men 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 yea. 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.

THE MING TOMBS OF NANKING. AMERICAN SAILORS SEE HISTORICAL CHINA.
THE MING TOMBS OF NANKING.
If you were to visit the Orient on an American man-o’-war and make the trip from Manila to Shanghai through China Sea and enter the Yang Tse Kiang River, the largest in the world, and your ship should stop at Nanking, you would see some very interesting sights.
It has been the pleasure of many American bluejackets to make the cruise. It has been their duty to navigate the Great Yang Tse as far as Hankau (600 miles) and many of the smaller ships have braved the rapids as far as Chung King (1200 miles). The river lends an imposing sight to the visitor, and there are many interesting land marks to be seen. Chinkiang, a beautiful little city is passed on the left yet there are many villages of striking picturesqueness along the banks of this widely-heralded stream.
Nanking, meanong Southern Capitol, is 205 miles from Shanghai. The city owes its name to having been the capitol of the Empire, the last occasion being in the Ming dynasty at the beginning of the 15th century. The city is surrounded by great walls varying from forty to ninety feet in height and from twenty to forty feet in thickness. These alls are said to have been built in the fifth and sixth centuries, B. C.
Nanking is the home of the celebrated mausoleum of Emperor Hung Wu – died in 1398 – with other great monuments known as the Ming Tombs. There are many interesting ruins in and near the city, including those of Hung Wu’s palace. The Ming Tombs are the most interesting in China, and have probably been photographed more by American naval men than any other statues or temples in the Empire. The famous porcelain tower of nine stories, and over two hundred feet high, is also very interesting.
In Nanking one can either ride in carriages, jinrickshas, or automobiles, and the latter may be secured as well as the former for sightseeing in and around the city. Sailormen making the trip up the river are prone to take advantage of these wonderful sights, and there is probably no body of tourists who become more familiar with China’s history than the American men-o’-wars-men.

USALA AND GRAPEVILLE
Little Dorothy Krell was ill the first of the week and her parents took her in to see Dr. Langley a few times and she is much better.
Raymond Boyd, of Sanford, spent a part of Sunday at the home of his cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Cruse.
Mr. and Mrs. Will Robinson were visitors at the home of Mrs. J. A. Vaughn on election day. Mrs. Vaughn tells us she was one that was proud to go in and cast her vote for Cox and Charley Hand – and I gather the last came first with her.
Dr. Denton has been called out twice to attend Claire, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Bertleson.
A number from this section were visiting Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Peterson at Holly Hill.
Word came that her sister, Mrs. Sjoblom, of Knoxville, Tenn., was operated upon Sunday.
We learn that Mr. and Mrs. Borell are making some improvements on their home, enclosing in a room and reroofing parts of their house.
Mrs. Beck and Mrs. Hodkins were spending Wednesday with Mrs. Westerdick, having a good time, helping her get a quilt off.
A number of ladies, Mrs. Borell, Mrs. Magnuson, Mrs. Ericson, Mrs. Ballinger lent a hand to help clean the church Thursday. Mrs. Ebba Lee and baby also came in to encourage us.
Mrs. Tyner and children with Miss Eunice and Elmer, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Krell, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Lee, Mrs. Borell and Mrs. Magnuson, Mrs. E. W. Lundquist with Raymond, Clarence Busquist, Archie Swanson were among those attending the Armistice day program besides a number of the school children, all say it was fine.
Rev. Brower, of Sanford, has offered to preach for us once again, next Sunday afternoon. Sunday school at 3:00.
We always count it a great treat to have Dr. Brower and this may be our last time.
Upsala seems to have more than its share of anake scares this year but fortunately no one has been killed. Last Saturday we were all so worried about little Adrian, the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Lundquist, as he was bitten on the second finger of his left hand by a small diamond back. He was hoeing some grass for his chicks and stooped to pull a bunch close to the fence when the snake struck him and brought blood.
His mother banded his finger at once, calling for Mrs. John Lindquist. They killed the snake and got Mrs. Campbell to take the boy to the hospital and in three-fourths of an hour Dr. Puleston was attending him there. He was allowed to return home that night, going down a few times since to have the wound dressed, so we trust he is out of danger. The second day the arm swelled to the elbow.
We had a fine time as we expected Sunday, besides most of the Eupsala folks. Rev. Albertson and wife of DeLand, Dr. Conway and wife and Miss Ruth Whittaker, of Orange City. Dr. Conway brought out the contrasts, showing how Jesus the Christ could be the little child, the son given and yet the everlasting father. Miss whittacker played for us.
At the basket dinner Mr. and Mrs. Dunn and children, of Lake Mary with Dr. Edwards, of Jacksonville, came prepared to join us and we all broke bread together under the trees. Elmer Tyler got a snap shot us. Mrs. Albertson gave us a temperance poem, having been herself a strong temperance worker. Rev. Edwards followed, speaking earnestly on “Follow Me”. Mrs. Jack Vaughn and Mr. Swan, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Coller, Mrs. Gleason and son Clyde, were among those present.
Rev. Edwards was entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Bertleson while among us.

WILL CONVERT SOUTH
POINT ISABEL, Tex., Nov 15 –
President-elect Harding, whose outing at Point Isabel ends next Wednesday, has agreed to deliver an address in New Orleans on the following day just before he sails for his voyage to Panama. He will speak at a luncheon of the New Orleans Association of Commerce and is expected to discuss in particular the economic possibilities and requirements of the South and the need for a national industrial policy uninfluenced by sectional interests.
Leaving Brownville at 10 o’ clock Wednesday morning in a special train, he will try to avoid rear platform speeches on the way northward along the Gulf coast and by a fast run will reach New Orleans Thursday morning. His steamer sails that afternoon.
Senator Harding’s decision to accept the New Orleans speaking invitation means that in consonance with his oft-repeated ambition to obliterate sectionalism, his first three formal addresses as president-elect are to be delivered within the territory of the old Confederacy and in states that long have been pillars of the Democratic solid South. The first of these addresses was delivered in Brownville, Tex., and the third has been scheduled for December 5th at Bedford, Va.

You’ll wear one too if we repaint your auto. Why go around with a dim, dull, old looking car when for a few dollars we will paint and finish it like new? It’s good sense also to keep a fresh coat of paint on your car – adds to its value if you want to sell it or trade it in.

Nice rains today.
-
Makes nice lettuce tomorrow.
-
And fat bank accounts a few weeks from now.
-
Out of which maybe the herald will get a few dollars and dimes.
-
And every merchant in Sanford will realize something in his investment for holiday time is here.
-
And the merchant that fails to advertise now is overlooking the best bet in his young life. People read the Daily herald.
-
Everyone that comes to Sanford now speaks in highest terms of this city and states that they heard nothing but praise for this city everywhere. Our excellent hotels are responsible for this reputation.
-
Bob Holly doesn’t know whether he belongs to the army or the navy, having served in both. Bob’s “A Jolly, a regular Jolly; soldier and sailor too,” according to Kipling. – Tampa tribune.
-
And we should guard the good name of our hotels and see that they are kept right up to the standard. There is nothing that gives the town a black eye as quickly as poor hotel accommodations. Our past experiences will tell us that. Keep up the good work of feeding the multitude.
-
Every time we meet with the newspaper men of Florida it gives us the feeling that we have the best bunch of scribes in the United States. They have the goods and they are getting out fine papers despite the high cost of everything that enters into the publishing business. We want to entertain them in Sanford some time soon and get some celery in their systems (maybe celery tonic if some can be found).
-
It is well that Sanford is to have milk inspection and to follow that it would be well to have meat inspection. Too long have we waited for both and only the fact that the city of Sanford is the healthiest city in the United States has kept off an epidemic of disease that could have come from either the milk or other food supplies. More care should be exercised by the people who raise these products and by the people who handle them. The law governs these cases.
-
New Smyrna is still agitating the matter of a free bridge over the St. Johns at Osteen ferry. This question will never be settled until it is settled right. The State Road Department is building about a dozen free bridges over West Florida rivers, and is even talking of a bridge three miles long over Escambia bay. The state, so far as The News knows, has built no bridges in South and East Florida, where most of the taxes are paid. The counties and communities and private parties have built all the bridges in this section of the state. – DeLand News.
-
We believe the new state road department will consider some of the needs of this part of Florida as well as other parts. However, we still content that Volusia county laid down on the job of bridge building at the St. Johns river crossings and other places in the county. In fact Volusia is beset with toll bridges and they are a serious drawback to development.

TAKE A MEMBERSHIP
It will be heartening to the glorious cause of the American Red Cross if people everywhere will sign up early this week in the fourth annual roll call. This occasion brings back vividly the days of the World War when enthusiasm ran high and people were eager to contribute to one cause or another in connection with the mighty struggle. In those days the call was terribly urgent but even yet the need for Red Cross ministrations has not ceased. The end of the war has not brought an end to famine and suffering and want and the ravages of disease nor has made it unnecessary to continue to care for the health of communities. We still owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the Red Cross. Let us demonstrate this sense of obligation by promptly inscribing our names in the roll of honor.

ELEPHANT LIKES MONEY.
An elephant with a craving for paper money has to be watched. Such an elephant is “Baby Sue” one of the Johhny J. Jones animals at the Southeastern Fair at Lakewood. In war times, when the Red Cross was putting on its drive and the other war organizations were campaigning for funds, “Baby Sue” helped to collect funds. She went up and down the streets of towns where the show appeared, carrying a bucket in her snout. She would hold out the bucket and make an appeal for funds that was usually answered by liberal contributions. But she had to be watched, as she would eat the paper money that was put into her bucket. She would deliberately set down the basket, extract the bill and eat them with as much relish as though they were peanuts. After she had consumed many dollars, the attendant who was with her on tour, kept an eye on the bucket and when a bill was put into it would get the bill out before “Sue” had a chance to consume it. Many persons, seeing the trainer take the paper money from the bucker and being ignorant of “Sne’s” craving for bills, would wonder if the bills were being kept by the trainer. “Sue” collected a total of about $14,000 for war work organizations.
Edward R. salter, publicity man of the Johnny J. Jones’ Exposition is always emphatic in his declarations that the Johnny J. Jones Expositions is the greatest outdoor amusement of its class in the world and bases his statement largely upon the fact every new form of amusement or riding device that is brought out, first make sits appearance with this organization. The latest innovation is a riding device called “The Dodgem” and it is the first and only one in operation. The “trying out’ test was put up to the patrons of the Southeastern Fair.
The modus operandi of the new cars somewhat reminds the spectator of witnessing a person’s first attempt to master a tin lizzie. There are fifteen cars upon a platform 40 by 150 feet. The cars are operated and steered individually by the rider. No skill is required, you simply grasp the familiar steering wheel, step on the pedal and away you go. With a little practice you are enabled to Dodgem (maybe). It is a question which drives the most fun, the skilled or the unskilled operator. The cars, like a mule’s disposition, steers just the opposite to all set rules. – Atlanta American.

Do Your Fall Shopping Before the Holiday Rush
Excuse for postponing your fall shopping are no longer in order.
It should be done now – at once – before the holiday rush sets in. You can shop thoughtfully, leisurely and economically if you shop now. But if you wait until the Christmas rush sets in, you must buy hastily and inefficiently, and therefore extravagantly.
Shop now. Make a list of all that the family will need – heavier clothes for the cooler weather, new shoes, new hats, that new furniture you have been discussing, linen and silverware for bed and table.
These you will find now in pleasing selections on the shelves and counters of the local stores – fresh fall stock at the new lower prices that please us all.
Make up your list now – and be sure to look for suggestions and prices in the advertisements in the Daily Herald. It is always well to read the ads before shopping, and they will be found particularly helpful now.
The season heavy fall buying really begins tomorrow. You’re your selections early.

LARGE BABOON ADOPTS FAMILY OF PUPPIES
It is well known fact that the ordinary house cat has been known to adopt an entire family of puppies, and on rare occasions a mother dog has reared beasts of the jungle variety, but never in the annals of zoology has a member of the monkey family been known to “mother’ a family of puppies until Fifi, one of the star actresses in Minnie Thompson’s troupe of statue canines with the Sparks circus recently gave birth to four healthy English setters puppies.
As it happens Fifi enacts very importatnt roles in the canine dramas and statue numbers presented under the “big top” and during the performance cannot devote much of her time to the babies; therefore it fell to Miss Thompson to provide an efficient nurse during FiFi’s trenspan duties.
Ever since the birth of the youngsters, Joe, a large, good natured baboon of the dog-face variety, who occupies an adjoining cage in the Menagerie seems to show such an untiring interest in the babies, that finally Miss Thompson carefully approached his cake with one of the fuzzy mites, when to her surprise, he held out both arms and upon receiving it, immediately began to “coo” in true monkey language and fondle it as only a mother’s instinct knows – in fact he proved to be such an adept in the role of nurse, that the babies quickly adopted him and during Fifi’s absence in the ring, it is one of the daily sights of the Sparks Menagerie to see this simian nurse fondling his little charge. Undoubtedly Joe’s cage will be the center of attraction for all the kiddies when the circus comes to Sanford on Tuesday, November 23rd.

THE NATIONAL FOREST CARRIED OUT
(Continued from page one)
Of denuded lands, for obtaining essential information in regard to timber and timber lands, for extension of the National forests and for other steps essential to continuous forest production on lands chiefly suitable for this purpose. The following legislation is proposed:
Authorizing the Secretary of Agriculture, after consulting appropriate local agencies, to approve an adequate policy for each state, covering fire protection, reforestation, cutting and removing of timber crops. Not less than $1,000,000 annually avtilable for such co-operation with states.
A survey of forest resources, forest production and forest requirements of the nation.
Provision for studies and experiment in forest reproduction methods, wood utilization, timber tests, wood preservation, development of by-products and other steps to bring about the most effective use of the nation’s forest resources.
Provision for a study of forest taxation, to assist states in devising tax laws which will encourage the conservation and growing of timber. Also of methods of insuring against forest losses by fire.
Provision for more rapid replanting of the vast areas of denuded land within the national forests.
Appropriation of $10,000,000 a year for five years for the purchase of lands, which should be added to the national forest system, whether or not on the headwaters of navigable streams as such purchases are now limited.
Authorizing the addition to national forests of lands now in other forms of government ownership but found chiefly suitable for permanent forest production.
“The very great importance of this program and the suggestion outlined cannot be overestimated,” said Mr. Pack.
“They effect every state in the Union and the business interest of every state which means that every man who wants to build a home who wants to get along, will be affected by this important legislation.
“It so happens this united move for a national forest policy,” continues Mr. Pack, “comes at an opportune time ant its importance to the welfare of every citizen cannot be overestimated. The plan ties up with water power development and the coal situation. When we put the millions of waste power to work, the coal situation will begin to right itself. Water power development and reforestation should go hand in hand. We are at the door of great commercial development. Let us open that door.”

WOMAN SERGEANT BURIED WITH HONORS, FOUGHT FOR POLAND.
WARSAW, Oct. 21. – (By Mail). –
All Warsaw turned out for the funeral the other day of Sergeant Sophie Poukopwicz, a member of Poland’s Woman’s Battalion, who was called here “the heroine of Plock.” She died from wounds inflicted with a Russian sword and the “Nahajka” of Cossack’s whip whish she received at Plock during the drive against Warsaw. As a final tribute the American nurses who attended her at the hospital and the entire personnel of the American Red Cross in Warsaw went to her funeral.
All Warsaw knew her story and there were many moist eyes that gazed at the plain white painted pine board coffin containing the girl-soldier as it was borne through the streets on the shoulders of her fighting comrades, all girls from the Women’s Battalion.
Sergeant Sophie was a veteran of Poland’s great war, which in the minds of most Poles began when the world war ended in November, 1918. She was 22 years of age and was one of the original members of the Woman’s Battalion which was formed late in 1918 for the purpose of defending Lemberg against the Ukrainians. She was wounded three times, first at Lemberg again at Vilna and last while leading her company against the Russians at Plock.
She typified the spirit of Poland today. There are 600 like her in the Woman’s Battalion. Officers in the army from Pilsudski down admit that the mere existence of this battalion exercised a wonderful effect upon the popular imagination, upon recruiting and even upon the soldiers in the recent heavy fighting.
The age limits for privates in the battalion are 17 and 33. Most of the women who have joined are of humble origin, and come from semi-stagnant industrial centers such as Lodz. The economic problem has had something to do with their continued existence as soldiers but they have shown great enthusiasm and bravery. They have had many casualties.

MR. ROYAL C. DUNN DIES SUDDENLY AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Tallahassee, Nov. 14. –
After a short illness, Mrs. Royal Canfield Dunn died at her home in this morning at 10 o’clock. Mrs. Dunn was the wife of R. C. Dunn, railroad commissioner and was beloved by all Tallahasseeans.
She was a prominent club woman, and her death will cast a shadow over the deliberations of the annual state federation which convenes in this city this week.
Funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian church this afternoon at 5 o’clock by the Rev. R. G. Newsome, pastor. Interment will be made in Madison tomorrow afternoon, and the body will be accompanied there by the husband and four sisters of the deceased. Mrs. Dunn is also survived by two brothers.
The Presbyterian church was crowded to the doors this afternoon during the funeral services, attesting the love in which Mrs. Dunn was held and the general sorrow of the community in her untimely death.
