SENTIMENT RUNS STRONG AGAINST NIGHT RIDING COTTON GROWING STATES
To Prevent Ginning and Also Marketing of Crops
INJURES THE SOUTH
LOOKS LIKE GROSS IGNORANCE ON PART OF PEOPLE TAKING THIS ROLE
(By The Associated Press)
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 16
Responsible sentiment in this state is running strongly against night riding which has been undertaken in this and other cotton growing states to prevent the ginning and marketing of cotton at the present low price. Representative planters, bankers and business men feel strongly that this lawlessness is giving the south a “black eye.”
At a recent meeting of the Arkansas division of the American Cotton Association here, nightriding was condemned as an act of gross ignorance. Gov. Brough has taken a vigorous stand against night riding and he has had further support, among others from Claude Fitzpatrick, the president of the Arkansas Bankers Association. All the forces of the state and local governments in Arkansas are now co-operating to prevent further lawlessness in the cotton ginning centers.
This countermovement is believed to be doing much to stop the activities of night riders. Mass meetings have been held in many towns and the co-operation of the citizens has been proffered officers in maintaining order.
Acts of violence for which night riders have been given credit in Arkansas have taken various forms. In addition to the burning of gins, warehouses and other property, farmers who attempted to market their cotton have been threatened with death or severe punishment, and in some cases have been badly maltreated. Negro families have been intimidated and driven from their homes because they sought employment or worked as cotton pickers. Hundreds of cotton gins in various sections of the state have been posted with warning against continuing to buy and gin cotton, the threatened penalties for not heeding the warning included destruction of the plants and forfeature of the lives of the owners.
In one county eight men now are awaiting action of the grand jury on a charge of setting fire to a ginnery, and in another section of the state three white farmers have been sentenced to a year’s imprisonment and assessed heavy fines for intimidation of negro cotton pickers.

PRESIDENT WILSON CONTINUES TO IMPROVE DESPITE THE ELECTION
Washington, Nov. 16.
President Wilson continues to improve in health. The statement of Ambassador Davis, on his arrival in London, that the president was a much sicker man than the public knew is not considered here to be in conflict with the optimistic assurances given by Secretary Colby after seeing the president a week ago.
Mr. davis is believed to have been referring to an earlier period in Mr. Wilson’s illness and not to recent weeks.
Everybody about the White House seems to have become more hopeful now about the president’s ultimate recovery. His improvement has been so much more than was expected and so much better than is ordinarily true of cases of the kind that Mr. Wilson’s extraordinary vitality is now expected to win the long struggle for life which he has been waging for more than a year.
Instead of proving a shock to him, the election passed by without un toward effect upon Mr Wilson’s health. Those who know the president best say this due to a sublime confidence in the righteousness of the cause he fought for and that his habit of mind is not to think of incidents of two or three years but of the political movements and tides of an era of epoch.

Notice that prohibition will continue in operation for the next two years at least for the purpose of guaranteeing continuation of a bony dry congress two years hence, is given by Virgil C. Hinshaw, chairman of the Prohibition national committee here at national headquarters.
“We have a mission still,” Mr Hinshaw said. If any one of the major temperance organizations were to stop now it would give a chance to the wets to come back and possibly pass a beer and wine amendment to the Volstead law.”

CALDER DOUBTS THAT PRICES WILL RETURN TO A PRE-WAR BASIS
DENVER, Colo., Nov. 16
Doubt that any big price reduction will come soon and that prices ever will reach pre-war levels was expressed by Senator W.M. Calder, of New York, chairman of the senate committee on reconstruction and prediction which met here yesterday to investigate housing conditions in Colorado and nearby states.
Senator Calder based his opinion on information gathered by the committee.
“As long as the government’s great loans are out, labor is opposed to reduction in wages and the employer is opposed to reduction in his prices. I don’t see mich hope for heavy declines immediately and it is doubtful if prices ever will attain their pre-war basis, he said.

STATE ROAD DEPARTMENT WILL TAKE UP MATTER OF ROADS AND BRIDGES
In Seminole, Volusia Counties Soon As Possible
THE OSTEEN PROJECT
ST JOHNS SCENIC HIGHWAY IS ANOTHER ONE THAT INTERESTS THIS SECTION.
The state press seems to have come to the conclusion that the new State Road Department will get results and already many of the papers are talking about the department finishing up many state roads that have been left unfinished for some time. There is also much talk about using the auto license tax, if possible, as the taking away from the counties of this tax has worked a hardship on them.
Formerly they could use this tax in their own counties but now it seems to be tied up in the state funds and is useless to counties and state unless something is done with it. The New Smyrna Board of Trade wants the bridge built at Osteen by the two counties and Chairman Lake of the State Road Department thinks there may be a chance to get national aid for this project and Editor Codrington-of the DeLand News things the auto tax could be used. At any rate the new board seems to have inspired confidence in the state and there is much activity in road matters everywhere. Many of the roads in the state that have been impassable for many months are being fixed up and made passable at least until more money can be obtained to make them real roads again.
The St. Johns Scenic Highway that winds its way down the St. Johns river from Jacksonville to Sanford and then on to Tampa is one of the best roads in the state as far as location is concerned but has never been finished and the DeLand News has the following editorial mention of it:
Chairman Forest Lake of the State Road Department is going right after the completion of the road from Tampa to Jacksonville via Plant City, Kissimmee, Orlando, Sanford, Deland, Seville, Palatka and Green Cove. Nearly seven-eights of this 250 mile road is already completed and in splendjd condition. There is only a short stretch in Putnam county and the twenty miles in Volusia county, part of the money for which is lying idle in the banks here and waiting for the State Road Department and the national government to meet Volusia’s $200,000 on the 50-50 basis.
The News believes that it would be wise for the rest of the legislature to provide for turning over this $200,000 to the State Road Department and to direct the department complete the road in Volusia county. This would relieve the Board of County Commissioners and the local board of trustees for the fund of all responsibility and would place the responsibility in the hands of one board--the State Road Department. Under present conditions there are five members of the State Road Department, five members of the Volusia Board of County Commissioners and three members of the local board of bond trustees in charge of the expenditure of this $200,000--an unlucky thirteen, which may account for the delay in beginning operations.”

COAL MINED STATE OWNED PROVES VALUABLE
(By The Associated Press)
LEMMON, S. D., Nov. 16
The Claremont coal mine, owned by the state of South Dakota is now shipping two hundred tons daily. The product is of the quality known as blue lignite.
The Claremont mine was purchased last summer to insure state institutions against coal shortages. Fuel is furnished to the state normal school at Spearfish, the penitentiary at Sioux Falls, the school for blind at Gary, the school for deaf at Sioux Falls, the soldiers’ home at Hot Springs, and other state institutions. Individuals may purchase coal at the mine.
The mine is located at Haynes, N. D., just over the line from Lemmon. The original owners began the grading for a spur railroad from the mine to Lemmon. The state of South Dakota is now building this railroad. It is estimated that when the line is finished the mine’s output can be tripled.

W. U. PEEVED AT GOVERNMENT
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16
The long drawn out controversy between the State Department and the Western Union Telegraph Company today reached the stage of an open break, the telegraph company refusing to handle any more cable messages for the State Department unless the tolls were prepaid. It is understood that this order is intended to apply to all government departments, but others have been excepted informally from the ruling.
Western Union officials said the company based its action on delayed payments for previous cables but the Department officials hold to the opinion that this step is in retaliation for the failure of the Department to allow the Western Union to land a cable at Miami, Florida, connecting Barbados with the British cable from South America.

TRIALS OF RAILROAD PRESIDENTS COMING TO LIGHT IN HEARING
PRESIDING OVER DESTINIES OF SHORT LINE ROADS AT PRESENT RATES
(By The Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Nov. 16 -
The trials of railroad presidents who preside over the destinies of the country’s short lines are coming to light in the hearing being given here to more than 100 short lines whose employes have petitioned the united states railway board for increased pay.
One Texas road built primarily to open a route to some mineral deposit beds, has to date the champion hard luck tale, according To G. W. W. Hanger, member of the board. The president of the line explained he owned 41 miles of track between two terminal cities. His fast passenger train covered the distance in two hours.
But between the two cities is a hard surfaced highway and enterprising auto owners have opened a bus line. The highway on a direct route, is little more than twenty miles long, compared to the railroad’s 41. The auto bus covers the distance in 40 minutes, one hour and twenty minutes faster than the train, and charges the same fare.
The freight outlook he described as equally bad. A company operating motor trucks with two trailers to the truck hauls freight over the highway faster than the road can by train, delivers the goods at the merchant’s store door, and charges the same tariff as the railroad. And on top of his other troubles it is now estimated that the mineral deposits which furnish the main remaining source of revenue will be exhausted within three years.
The president of an Alabama short line whose principal source of revenue is hauling ore to Birmingham furnaces appeared to defend his company against six employes all station agents, who had requested more money. Their present income is $95 a month.
The railroad president exhibited a personal knowledge of the affairs of each of his employees. One of the station agents, he said, owned a country store a few rods from the railroad station and had run his telegraph wire into the store so he could handle his duties as dispatcher and operator while waiting on customers. A second was described as the wife of a prosperous farmer. She had her telegraph line in the farm kitchen, the president said. Of the six operators only one was located in a town, and that was a village of 500 population. The president said his road paid no dividends and operated at a loss of $100,000 last year.
Hearing of the more than 100 short line cases, each of which is being taken up separately is expected to continue for several weeks. Decisions in all cases will be handed down simultaneously.

PISA: AN OLD CURIOSITY SHOP OF HISTORY
A city of 10,000 skyscrapers before Peter Minuit bought Manhattan island for the present price of a supper at a Broadway cabaret.
A city that warred and traded with empires, yet plunged into a disastrous struggle with a rival city over the rights to a lapdog.
A city which was seized after a Florentine Hobson “bottled up” its harbor entrance with sunken boats six centuries before the battle off Santiago bay.
Such is Pisa, whose leaning tower was endangered by recent earthquake tremors in Italy.
Pisa’s record abounds in incidents as freakish as its famous tower; yet it possesses a history necessarily more significant than any British or American city.
Indicative of Pisa’s importance in the thirteenth century was her sending an ambassador to Rome. Thereby hangs the story of the lapdog. During the coronation ceremonies of Frederick II the Florentine emissary admired the lapdog of a certain cardinal, so that dignitary promised to give the tiny animal to its admirer. Next day the Pisan ambassador said a few kind words about the same dog and the cardinal just as readily promised it to him. The Florentine sent and got it; The Pisan sent, and received an apology.
Florentines began joking the Pisans about this incident, and fights ensued on the Roman streets. When the Pisan home folks heard this it gave them an excellent chance to pick a quarrel that had long been simmering. A sort of medieval Boston tea party was staged by the Pisans who seized all the enemy merchandise within their reach, and thus precipitated the first of a series of wars with Florence which culminated in the subjection of Pisa by her long-time rival.
The lap dog story seems trivial, yet characteristic of a certain childish quality noticeable among the juvenile civic nationalities that preceded national Italy. As further proof one might recall the occasion when the victorious army of Lucca hung upon a Pisan tower a mirror with the inscription “Oh women of Pisa use these to look at yourselves.” No other challenge was needed for the Pisans to march to the gate of Lucca, and there to plant poles, topped with mirrors, bearing retaliatory comment.
Were a super Rip Van Winkle of medieval Pisa to come with his latterday compatriots to Ellis island in 1920, not only the national bird of his adopted land, but the skyscraper line of New York might make him feel at home.
Towers they were called, these Pisa skyscrapers huddled together for all the world like groups of tall apartment houses. Two reasons are assigned for this method of building, common to Italian towns of the twelfth century. One was that the wall permitted only vertical expansion when population pressure increased. Another, believable in view of the constant factional fights and family feuds attributed them to the necessity for protection.
Bridges that could be thrown from tower further suggested the skyscraper likeness. On these precursors of the modern fire escape many a community battle has raged.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa served humanity well, aside from becoming the most effective bit of city advertising yet devised, for it permitted Galileo, a native of Pisa, to carry on his experiments with the laws governing the pendulum.

BIG CIRCUS’ SOON TO BE IN SANFORD
Sparks’ Word Famous Shows Due on Tuesday, November 23rd
The Sparks big three-ring circus will exhibit in Sanford on Tuesday, November 23rd, giving two performances and inaugurating its appearance with a splendid parade nearly two miles in length. Every feature of the great exhibition will be represented in this truly remarkable open den street pageant which leaves the circus grounds at 10:30 a. m. Since the last visit of the circus to this city, it has nearly doubled in size and this season finds it among the largest of tented exhibitions.
The Sparks Circus has always been noted for its fine display of horses and this season tango and shimmy dancing horses are to be seen in the equine numbers which include Caesar, champion high jumping horse of the world, as well as three groups of marblesque posing horses and collie dogs in lifelike portrayals of the works of noted sculptors. Other prominent features this year are the Cornallas family of European acrobats who are making their initial tour of America with Sparks Circus and presenting an act that for skill and daring has never been equalled. Included in the family is Miss Florence. She enjoys the distinction of being the only member of her sex in the world accomplishing a double somersault.
Then there are the two herds of elephants including “Big Zulu,” the skyscraper elephant and each herd worked entirely by lady trainers. Incidentally there will be many big arenic features interspersed with the animal acts, and clowns--well forty of them will be on hand to extract the laughs from you.
Two performances will be given daily--at 2 and 8 p.m. Before the regular performance takes place an hour’s time will be given in which patrons of the Sparks Circus may visit the menagerie and also the brose fair.

THE BOSS
When things go easy, he just saunters round,
At ten o’clock or so; then reads his mail,
Dictates some half a dozen letters to the girl,
Tosses us each word, or maybe two.
Looks at the papers, lights a good cigar,
Phones to a friend, and then goes out to lunch,
And I go home and say to maw—“Gee whiz!
I hate to work. I wish I was the boss!”
But my, when things go wrong! Maybe a strike,
Our prices rise, or some bank goes and busts,
then ain’t he Johnny-on-the-spot at eight!
Then he don’t take no time to read the news,
Nor eat no lunch, but keeps us all a-jump.
Then he shoots letters at the girl till she
Gets flustery red spots on her cheeks, and makes
Even his chief clerk hustle, yon know him
That grey one, with nervous sort of spin.
And me – why I’m greased lightening when he calls.
And when night comes, then he looks kinder pale
and anxious-like, and yet so full of fight,
I get a sort of aching in my throat,
Like something choked me, when I look at him,
And I go hand say to maw—“Gee whiz!
Bizness is tough. I’m glad I ain’t the boss!

NATIONAL GRANGE NOW HAS 750,000 MEMBERS
(By The Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Nov. 16
Membership in the National Grange stands at approximately 750,000, S. J. Lowell of Fredonia, N. Y., master of the grange reports.
In this period of active organization of farmers, Mr. Lowell thus briefly sketches the activities of his society, one of the oldest and best known of the farmers organizations:
“The first grange was organized on April 16, 1868, in Freedonia, N. Y. it is a secret order, similar to all secret orders in many respects, with a ritual surpassed by none.
“It is non-sectarian and non-political and is devoted wholly to agriculture and agricultural pursuits.
“It has one distinction, that in all its meetings it has what is known as the ‘lecturer’s hour’. This hour is devoted to the going over of matters pertaining to farm life, intersperced with music, recitations, etc., by the younger people. It has done more than any other one thing to build up and strengthen agricultural life.
“The grange is now organized in 33 states, which are chiefly in the north, as many of the southern states have no Granges. The largest grange state is New York, which has a membership of 128,000.
“A great deal of co-operative work is done. Insurance of farmers’ buildings is probably the greatest financial enterprise. The amount carried in the insurance department runs into the hundreds of millions.”

HIGH PRICES DID IT.
(By The Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.
Something has reduced the per capita consumption of meat in this country in the past year, W. J. Carmichael, secretary of the National Swine Growers Association said here, discussing the “Eat More Meat” movement he is endeavoring to set underway. He has called a meeting of livestock producers, livestock exchanges and packers for Chicago December 2.
At this conference he proposes to enlist all interested in establishing a national organization to act as a clearing house for meat men’s difficulties of this nature. Among these is what Mr. Carmichael terms unfair propaganda against meat.
“Vegetarianism is making some headway in certain sections, Mr. Carmichael said, “but a large part of the decrease in meat eating appears due to the use of meat substitutes. These have been encouraged by advertising. We don’t object to people using substitutes but we feel it very unfair for them to be led to do so, as in some cases, by misleading comparisons with meat values.”
Reports of working men receiving high wages developing into large meat eaters, Mr. Carmichael said held true only in some districts, such as Gary, Ind. Meat consumption for the country as a whole fell off 8 pounds per individual in the last year, he said.

STORM HEADED SOUTH FOLLOWED BY A COLD WAVE; BE COOLER HERE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16
Storm warnings were displayed last night on the Gulf coast east of the mouth of the Mississippi river and on the Atlantic coast from the Florida straits northward to Delaware breakwater as the result of the disturbance now centered over the east central Gulf of Mexico. The influence of the storm is widespread, according to a weather bureau announcement, being attended by general rains in the South Atlantic, middle Atlantic and East Gulf coast states and local snows in the region of the Great Lakes and the Ohio and Upper Mississippi valleys.
Temperatures remain below normal in virtually all parts of the country east of the Mississippi river and “decidedly” below normal in the Gulf states.
Rains in the South Atlantic and rains and snows in the middle Atlantic states are indicated for Tuesday and probably Wednesday. The temperature will fall on the South Atlantic coast and will remain below normal, generally elsewhere east of the Mississippi river Tuesday and Wednesday.

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 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 inducement.

GREAT FLEETS TO ASSEMBLE IN THE PACIFIC
January will witness one of the greatest armadas ever assembled under the American flag, when the great Pacific and Atlantic fleets assemble in the Pacific for winter maneuvers.
When the time comes for the fleets to assemble in Southern waters this winter, the Pacific fleet under command of Admiral Rodman will steam to the southward towards the Gulf of Panama where it will assemble for winter operations. The Atlantic fleet under the command of Admiral Wilson, steaming southward, will pass Guantanamo Bay where it has wintered yearly in the past and will proceed to the Panama Canal, passing through which it will join the Pacific Fleet, creating the most magnificent naval spectacle in years.
Upon the meeting of the great fleets Admiral Wilson will become Commander-in-Chief of the great armada, and the winter maneuvers, spliced in with athletic meets between the various champions of the fleets will begin.
The re-union of the fleets will give the personnel a chance to renew old acquaintances, to see the sights of Panama, and while their friends shiver midst the snow and ice of the north to see the combined power of the organization of which they are a part.
It is expected that Admiral Wilson will have several hundred vessels under his command during the operations with combined gun power of 112 14-inch guns, 80 12-inch guns, 226 5-inch, and 28 3-inch. In addition to the great vessels of the fleets there will be submarines, destroyers, and auxiliary vessels in abundance, while the Naval Air Service will have their winged ships dotting the skies.
It will be an impressive sight even to the men-o’-war’s-men who are accustomed to the unusual and who believe that there is “nothing new under the sun.”
In the large picture above we see the Atlantic fleer steaming in formation flanked by subchasers, while the air scouts guard them overhead. In the top and immediate foreground are the muzzles of two of Uncle Sam’s mighty peace makers on the vessel from which the picture was taken. At the top and reading from left to right are: Admiral Wilson, who will be commander-in-chief of the combined fleets; Admiral Coontz, Chief of Operations; and right, Admiral Rodman who commands the Pacific fleet.

FLORIDA FORGING AHEAD IN PURE BRED LIVESTOCK
Large Prizes at State Fair Attract Many Entries, And Fine Show Is Assured.
Photo of a very large, black, male cow. Caption: Defender of Tierra Alta no. 220019, Grand Champion Aberdeen Angus Bull of South and West, 1918. at head of herd of J. J. Logan, Jacksonville, Florida.
Jacksonville -
A pretty good check on the rapidly growing livestock industry may be made by looking over the animals exhibited at the Florida State Fair, Jacksonville, Nov. 18-27. The premiums offered are larger than those of many bigger and older fairs, offering ample encouragement to exhibitors. Breeders from other states, taking advantage of the handsome prizes offered, have been showing their herds and walking off with most of the prize money. This year, however, they will have a little stiffer competition from Florida grown animals, the number of early entries by Florida breeders being much larger than heretofore.
One of the most important pieces of work accomplished by the State Fair has been to encourage the production of more pure bred livestock, and already it has gone a long way toward helping put Florida on the map as a stock growing state.
More livestock and better livestock should become the slogan of every community in the state which is to any measure adapted to stock raising.
Go to the State Fair this year (Nov. 18-27) and see how it can be done and what has already been accomplished.
----
SCRUB VS. THOROUGHBRED
Jacksonville - No more significant statement has been made in connection with the livestock industry than that of a man who knows well whereof he speaks:
“It costs no more to raise a 1200 pound steer than a 600 pound scrub.”
The truth of this statement will be graphically demonstrated in the live stock section of the Florida State Fair being held here, Nov. 18-27. compared the ----- may be odious but they often --- a spur to improvement.
Do you know the dates of the State Fair are Nov. 18-27?
DO you know the counties which advertise their resources at the State Fair are the most prosperous?
Do you know the State Fair is ready-made publicity agent for the resources of all Florida?
Do you know an exhibit at the State Fair will bring investors to this county?
Do you know a county exhibit at the State Fair advertises its resources as no other medium?
Do you know the State Fair will this year pay approximately $9,000 in prizes for cattle alone?

PRICES ARE ON THE DOWN GRADE AT LAST
There is evidently a general and growing belief that prices of all commodities have reached and passed the peak, and are now on the down grade. How far they will go cannot be foretold with any certainty. Judging from the past experience they may go lower than actual conditions will justify, in which case a reaction to a certain extent may be looked for. But the old plea that “you better buy now for everything will be higher next spring,” has lost its force, and no longer has any effect.
Getting down from the high plane which we have occupied during the last few years is naturally a painful and unpleasant process, but it had to come, and the only thing we can do is to make the best of it, and use out best efforts to make the transition as quick and easy as possible. It is displeasing to any retailer who may have his shelves full of high priced goods, upon which he must cut prices to the bone, eliminating any chance of profit, and deeming himself in great luck if the process does not involve an actual and serious loss.
But most retailers can have the satisfaction of looking back on a series of good years when constantly advancing prices made losses practically impossible and almost anybody could be a successful merchant. The wise ones were those who realized that such conditions could not last forever, and prepared in time for the coming storm, by restricting their purchases to their immediate needs. But all did not do that. Some were over sanguine, and will be the sufferers now that the frenzy for buying has come to an end.
With the farmers, the wheat raisers and cotton growers the case is somewhat different. During the war the government urged them to produce to the utmost, assuring them that everything would be needed for the support of the millions of soldiers we and our allies had put in the field, and which had been largely drawn from the farms and factories, thus reducing the numbers of the producers and augmenting those of the consumers and wasters.
The farmers responded to those urgings, in spite of all the difficulties they had to meet owing to the scarcity and inefficiency of labor, and the high prices of everything they used on the farms. They believed that even if the war ended suddenly there will be several years of re-adjustment, when the demand for raw materials from American farms would be continuous and insistent at long prices. Visions of $3 wheat and 40 cent cotton dazzled their eyes, and they rejoiced that nature assisted by their own strenuous efforts had given them big crops. But things have not worked out as they have anticipated.
The four years of war resulted in the storage of vast quantities of wheat which the end of the war released and it has been coming on the market to reduce the price, and now, but two years after the signing of the armistice we are told that France has raised enough wheat for her own needs, and both wheat and cotton are dropping in price, and the high prices on which the farmers built their hopes, seem farther off than ever. Germany wants cotton, in large quantities-estimated at 2,000,000 bales--but she has not the wherewith to pay for it. The same is the case with the starving peoples of the near and far east. They want bread, but they have no means of paying for it, and it must be given them if their lives are saved.
In their desperation the farmers have appealed to the government for relief in the shape of loans to enable them to hold their products off the market, and force higher prices, but the government says very properly, in the minds of many, that it cannot use its funds to promote speculation, and the farmers must pull through as best they can. There will be much dissatisfaction and grumbling, and possibly some suffering, but there does not seem to be any other way. The prime needs of all the people are cheap foods and clothing, and the needs of all must take precedence of the interests of any one class. – Tampa Times.

Do Your Fall Shopping Before the Holiday Rush
Excuses 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 of heavy fall buying really begins tomorrow. Make your selections early.

TODAY’S GEOGRAPHY
HAITI: MAGIC ISLE OF THE INDIES
Picture an island more wonderful, more beautiful and more richly endowed by nature even than the fabled isles that medieval mariners loved to dream about; a country of pleasant peaks, charming vales and fertile plains; an idyllic land set in a summer sea.
Picture then a land where the avarice of conquerors, ruthlessly exploiting, has blasted promises of progress; where the passions of men have run riot; where tyrant after tyrant, some great, some petty, have waded to power through pools of blood; a land from which the gods of peace and industry seem to have turned away.
Both are pictures of Haiti, the relations between which country and the United States are now under discussion.
To avoid confusion it must be explained at the outset that the name Haiti is used sometimes to denote the entire island, which is the second largest land mass in the West Indies, sometimes to denote merely the Republic of Haiti, which occupies the western third of the area. The possibilities of confusion are increased by the fact that the island is also known as Santo Domingo and San Domingo, names applied likewise to the Dominican Republic, which occupies the eastern two-thirds of the land unit.
The name Haiti is much used because it was the descriptive term, meaning “high land,” given to the island by aborigines. This was the favorite island of the West Indies to Columbus, who reserved for it the most complimentary name bestowed on the lands which he discovered--Hispanola, “little Spain.” Something of the impression which this beautiful and promising island made on the great discoverer can be gleaned from his reference to it as a “Garden of Eden,” and from the fact that he named the point at which he first set foot in Haiti, December 6, 1492, “the Vale of Paradise.”
History has been prodigal to the island of Haiti and has crowded one interesting and tragic event after another into the relatively short span of years since the eyes of white men first beheld its towering peaks. On its northern coast, near the present Cape Haitien the Santa Maria, which bore Columbus to the new world, was wrecked on Christmas eve, 1492, and from its broken, historic boards was set up by the crew the first structure erected by Europeans in the western hemisphere. This was the fortress of Navidad, in which the men of the Santa Maria were killed while Columbus was on his return voyage to Spain to report his epoch-making discovery of the “the Indies.”
Farther to the east on the northern coast of the island Columbus built on his return the first white settlement in the new world, naming the little town “Isabella” for the queen who had made the voyage of discovery possible. On this second trip Columbus brought with him to this magic isle a great fleet bearing a large force of soldiers and adventurers. After defeating the natives the conquerors journeyed to the south coast and there laid the foundations of the city of Santo Domingo--first permanent city established by Europeans in America, for many years the most important outpost of western civilization and forerunner of the countless cities and villages that are the seats today of the industry, commerce and culture of the three Americas.

A MUSICAL ADVENTURE FOR AMERICA
Newspaper dispatches state that there is a plan afoot to have a national carillon at Washington, D. C., as a tribute to the soldier dead.
Contact with the men and women of Flanders has directed American attention to one kind music, vital in the national lives of these people, which cannot eve be heard in this country.
A carillon is made up of a set of tower bells attuned to the intervals of the chromatic scale, usually covering a range of four octaves. To attain such a range the bell producing the lowest note must weigh several tons, while the smallest weighs scarcely twenty pounds. The bells are connected to a keyboard or to a clockwork mechanism which causes their clappers to strike.
Producing music from the bells requires great skill and dexterity on the part of the bellmaster for he must use his feet for the larger bells and the muscles of both his wrists and elbow are brought into play in producing the tremolando effect usually given. A fine carillon is not the result of a chance molding of metal but its making is as much as achievement wrought by a wise combination of excellent material and deep thought as a Stradivarius. Lovers of carillon music compare the tones to those of a pianoforte in delicacy and to an organ in majesty. When touched by the hand of a master like Denyn, the wizard of Malines, the music seems to come veritably from the heavens and to settle in peace and benediction over the surrounding country.
From the even rows of red-topped roofs and the trees of the surrounding level spaces in Malines the immense flat-topped Gothic spire of St. Rombauld once arose. The cathedral dated from the thirteenth century and has for hundreds of years been known the world over for the remarkable silvery quality of its bells. So much attention had been given to making it the best of its kind that its bell makers gained wide reputations and the town itself became the headquarters of bell founding.
The tower, vast and mysterious against the luminous sky, seemed to dominate the city. While compelling the attention is stirred the imagination as it kept watch over Malines and tolled the passing of the hours with its hugest bell. When not attached to the wonderful mechanism that controlled the ringing of the carillon, this bell required eight men to ring it. The range of the bells of this carillon was great enough to admit of many difficult operatic selections. Today the majestic tower mingles its dust with that of the ruined city over which it had for centuries guarded.
The carillon of Antwerp possessed the greatest number of bells of any in Flanders--sixty five. It has been said that from the cathedral tower on a clear morning 126 carillons could be heard.

REDUCED RATES TO JACKSONVILLE FOR STATE FAIR
JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 15.
As customary, all transportation lines entering Jacksonville—through G. Z. Phillips, director of Transportation—have announced reduced round trip rates for the annual Florida State Fair and Exposition, which will be held here November 18 to 27.
These rates—a fare and one-third for the round trip, are sufficiently low and attractive to please the most exacting prospective fair visitor, and are expected to be the incentive which will bring thousands of people to the big fall exposition, which, this year, assumes an importance far surpassing anything of previous years. The general admission to the Fair Grounds will be 50 cents.
In connection with the low rates, it is announced tickets will be on sale from all Florida points to Jacksonville on November 17, 19, 21, 23 and 25.
In addition, the same reduced rates will be in effect—within a redium of 100 miles of Jacksonville—-on November 18, 20, 22, 24, and 26. These tickers will be good on trains arriving in Jacksonville before noon on November 27.

ON THE MILK SUPPLY
I wish to state to the public that I have personally investigated our present milk supply in Sanford; I have been present during the milking and bottling of the morning’s milk which the firm of Walthall & Estridge are delivering to the public and that it meets with the requirements of the rules and regulations of the State Board of Health. They have agreed to stamp each and every bottle of milk delivered by them with the name of the dairy and the time of milking and bottling, so that the public may know the age and the dairy of the milk they are getting. They have also agreed that at five o’clock each morning, the night-before milk will be delivered to customers who do not prefer morning’s milk and wish milk earlier than it is possible to deliver the morning milk, the delivery of the morning milk to be made not later than 7:30 a.m.
At the present price of milk, I do not believe, for the value received, that we can equal it in food value with any other class of food that we can buy and I would urge the public in general, to rally to the support of our dairies who are complying with the state rules and regulations, that it may be put on a paying basis because it is an essential food supply of our city, as there are many babies, children and invalids who cannot live upon any other class of food.

SENTIMENT RUNS STRONG AGAINST NIGHT RIDING COTTON GROWING STATES
To Prevent Ginning and Also Marketing of Crops
INJURES THE SOUTH
LOOKS LIKE GROSS IGNORANCE ON PART OF PEOPLE TAKING THIS ROLE
(By The Associated Press)
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 16
Responsible sentiment in this state is running strongly against night riding which has been undertaken in this and other cotton growing states to prevent the ginning and marketing of cotton at the present low price. Representative planters, bankers and business men feel strongly that this lawlessness is giving the south a “black eye.”
At a recent meeting of the Arkansas division of the American Cotton Association here, nightriding was condemned as an act of gross ignorance. Gov. Brough has taken a vigorous stand against night riding and he has had further support, among others from Claude Fitzpatrick, the president of the Arkansas Bankers Association. All the forces of the state and local governments in Arkansas are now co-operating to prevent further lawlessness in the cotton ginning centers.
This countermovement is believed to be doing much to stop the activities of night riders. Mass meetings have been held in many towns and the co-operation of the citizens has been proffered officers in maintaining order.
Acts of violence for which night riders have been given credit in Arkansas have taken various forms. In addition to the burning of gins, warehouses and other property, farmers who attempted to market their cotton have been threatened with death or severe punishment, and in some cases have been badly maltreated. Negro families have been intimidated and driven from their homes because they sought employment or worked as cotton pickers. Hundreds of cotton gins in various sections of the state have been posted with warning against continuing to buy and gin cotton, the threatened penalties for not heeding the warning included destruction of the plants and forfeature of the lives of the owners.
In one county eight men now are awaiting action of the grand jury on a charge of setting fire to a ginnery, and in another section of the state three white farmers have been sentenced to a year’s imprisonment and assessed heavy fines for intimidation of negro cotton pickers.

PRESIDENT WILSON CONTINUES TO IMPROVE DESPITE THE ELECTION
Washington, Nov. 16.
President Wilson continues to improve in health. The statement of Ambassador Davis, on his arrival in London, that the president was a much sicker man than the public knew is not considered here to be in conflict with the optimistic assurances given by Secretary Colby after seeing the president a week ago.
Mr. davis is believed to have been referring to an earlier period in Mr. Wilson’s illness and not to recent weeks.
Everybody about the White House seems to have become more hopeful now about the president’s ultimate recovery. His improvement has been so much more than was expected and so much better than is ordinarily true of cases of the kind that Mr. Wilson’s extraordinary vitality is now expected to win the long struggle for life which he has been waging for more than a year.
Instead of proving a shock to him, the election passed by without un toward effect upon Mr Wilson’s health. Those who know the president best say this due to a sublime confidence in the righteousness of the cause he fought for and that his habit of mind is not to think of incidents of two or three years but of the political movements and tides of an era of epoch.

Doubt that any big price reduction will come soon and that prices ever will reach pre-war levels was expressed by Senator W.M.

Senator Calder based his opinion on information gathered by the committee.
“As long as the government’s great loans are out, labor is opposed to reduction in wages and the employer is opposed to reduction in his prices. I don’t see mich hope for heavy declines immediately and it is doubtful if prices ever will attain their pre-war basis, he said.

STATE ROAD DEPARTMENT WILL TAKE UP MATTER OF ROADS AND BRIDGES
In Seminole, Volusia Counties Soon As Possible
THE OSTEEN PROJECT
ST JOHNS SCENIC HIGHWAY IS ANOTHER ONE THAT INTERESTS THIS SECTION.
The state press seems to have come to the conclusion that the new State Road Department will get results and already many of the papers are talking about the department finishing up many state roads that have been left unfinished for some time. There is also much talk about using the auto license tax, if possible, as the taking away from the counties of this tax has worked a hardship on them.
Formerly they could use this tax in their own counties but now it seems to be tied up in the state funds and is useless to counties and state unless something is done with it. The New Smyrna Board of Trade wants the bridge built at Osteen by the two counties and Chairman Lake of the State Road Department thinks there may be a chance to get national aid for this project and Editor Codrington-of the DeLand News things the auto tax could be used. At any rate the new board seems to have inspired confidence in the state and there is much activity in road matters everywhere. Many of the roads in the state that have been impassable for many months are being fixed up and made passable at least until more money can be obtained to make them real roads again.
The St. Johns Scenic Highway that winds its way down the St. Johns river from Jacksonville to Sanford and then on to Tampa is one of the best roads in the state as far as location is concerned but has never been finished and the DeLand News has the following editorial mention of it:
Chairman Forest Lake of the State Road Department is going right after the completion of the road from Tampa to Jacksonville via Plant City, Kissimmee, Orlando, Sanford, Deland, Seville, Palatka and Green Cove. Nearly seven-eights of this 250 mile road is already completed and in splendjd condition. There is only a short stretch in Putnam county and the twenty miles in Volusia county, part of the money for which is lying idle in the banks here and waiting for the State Road Department and the national government to meet Volusia’s $200,000 on the 50-50 basis.
The News believes that it would be wise for the rest of the legislature to provide for turning over this $200,000 to the State Road Department and to direct the department complete the road in Volusia county. This would relieve the Board of County Commissioners and the local board of trustees for the fund of all responsibility and would place the responsibility in the hands of one board--the State Road Department. Under present conditions there are five members of the State Road Department, five members of the Volusia Board of County Commissioners and three members of the local board of bond trustees in charge of the expenditure of this $200,000--an unlucky thirteen, which may account for the delay in beginning operations.”

COAL MINED STATE OWNED PROVES VALUABLE
(By The Associated Press)
LEMMON, S. D., Nov. 16
The Claremont coal mine, owned by the state of South Dakota is now shipping two hundred tons daily. The product is of the quality known as blue lignite.
The Claremont mine was purchased last summer to insure state institutions against coal shortages. Fuel is furnished to the state normal school at Spearfish, the penitentiary at Sioux Falls, the school for blind at Gary, the school for deaf at Sioux Falls, the soldiers’ home at Hot Springs, and other state institutions. Individuals may purchase coal at the mine.
The mine is located at Haynes, N. D., just over the line from Lemmon. The original owners began the grading for a spur railroad from the mine to Lemmon. The state of South Dakota is now building this railroad. It is estimated that when the line is finished the mine’s output can be tripled.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16
The long drawn out controversy between the State Department and the Western Union Telegraph Company today reached the stage of an open break, the telegraph company refusing to handle any more cable messages for the State Department unless the tolls were prepaid. It is understood that this order is intended to apply to all government departments, but others have been excepted informally from the ruling.
Western Union officials said the company based its action on delayed payments for previous cables but the Department officials hold to the opinion that this step is in retaliation for the failure of the Department to allow the Western Union to land a cable at Miami, Florida, connecting Barbados with the British cable from South America.

TRIALS OF RAILROAD PRESIDENTS COMING TO LIGHT IN HEARING
PRESIDING OVER DESTINIES OF SHORT LINE ROADS AT PRESENT RATES
(By The Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Nov. 16 -
The trials of railroad presidents who preside over the destinies of the country’s short lines are coming to light in the hearing being given here to more than 100 short lines whose employes have petitioned the united states railway board for increased pay.
One Texas road built primarily to open a route to some mineral deposit beds, has to date the champion hard luck tale, according To G. W. W. Hanger, member of the board. The president of the line explained he owned 41 miles of track between two terminal cities. His fast passenger train covered the distance in two hours.
But between the two cities is a hard surfaced highway and enterprising auto owners have opened a bus line. The highway on a direct route, is little more than twenty miles long, compared to the railroad’s 41. The auto bus covers the distance in 40 minutes, one hour and twenty minutes faster than the train, and charges the same fare.
The freight outlook he described as equally bad. A company operating motor trucks with two trailers to the truck hauls freight over the highway faster than the road can by train, delivers the goods at the merchant’s store door, and charges the same tariff as the railroad. And on top of his other troubles it is now estimated that the mineral deposits which furnish the main remaining source of revenue will be exhausted within three years.
The president of an Alabama short line whose principal source of revenue is hauling ore to Birmingham furnaces appeared to defend his company against six employes all station agents, who had requested more money. Their present income is $95 a month.
The railroad president exhibited a personal knowledge of the affairs of each of his employees. One of the station agents, he said, owned a country store a few rods from the railroad station and had run his telegraph wire into the store so he could handle his duties as dispatcher and operator while waiting on customers. A second was described as the wife of a prosperous farmer. She had her telegraph line in the farm kitchen, the president said. Of the six operators only one was located in a town, and that was a village of 500 population. The president said his road paid no dividends and operated at a loss of $100,000 last year.
Hearing of the more than 100 short line cases, each of which is being taken up separately is expected to continue for several weeks. Decisions in all cases will be handed down simultaneously.

PISA: AN OLD CURIOSITY SHOP OF HISTORY
A city of 10,000 skyscrapers before Peter Minuit bought Manhattan island for the present price of a supper at a Broadway cabaret.
A city that warred and traded with empires, yet plunged into a disastrous struggle with a rival city over the rights to a lapdog.
A city which was seized after a Florentine Hobson “bottled up” its harbor entrance with sunken boats six centuries before the battle off Santiago bay.
Such is Pisa, whose leaning tower was endangered by recent earthquake tremors in Italy.
Pisa’s record abounds in incidents as freakish as its famous tower; yet it possesses a history necessarily more significant than any British or American city.
Indicative of Pisa’s importance in the thirteenth century was her sending an ambassador to Rome. Thereby hangs the story of the lapdog. During the coronation ceremonies of Frederick II the Florentine emissary admired the lapdog of a certain cardinal, so that dignitary promised to give the tiny animal to its admirer. Next day the Pisan ambassador said a few kind words about the same dog and the cardinal just as readily promised it to him. The Florentine sent and got it; The Pisan sent, and received an apology.
Florentines began joking the Pisans about this incident, and fights ensued on the Roman streets. When the Pisan home folks heard this it gave them an excellent chance to pick a quarrel that had long been simmering. A sort of medieval Boston tea party was staged by the Pisans who seized all the enemy merchandise within their reach, and thus precipitated the first of a series of wars with Florence which culminated in the subjection of Pisa by her long-time rival.
The lap dog story seems trivial, yet characteristic of a certain childish quality noticeable among the juvenile civic nationalities that preceded national Italy. As further proof one might recall the occasion when the victorious army of Lucca hung upon a Pisan tower a mirror with the inscription “Oh women of Pisa use these to look at yourselves.” No other challenge was needed for the Pisans to march to the gate of Lucca, and there to plant poles, topped with mirrors, bearing retaliatory comment.
Were a super Rip Van Winkle of medieval Pisa to come with his latterday compatriots to Ellis island in 1920, not only the national bird of his adopted land, but the skyscraper line of New York might make him feel at home.
Towers they were called, these Pisa skyscrapers huddled together for all the world like groups of tall apartment houses. Two reasons are assigned for this method of building, common to Italian towns of the twelfth century. One was that the wall permitted only vertical expansion when population pressure increased. Another, believable in view of the constant factional fights and family feuds attributed them to the necessity for protection.
Bridges that could be thrown from tower further suggested the skyscraper likeness. On these precursors of the modern fire escape many a community battle has raged.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa served humanity well, aside from becoming the most effective bit of city advertising yet devised, for it permitted Galileo, a native of Pisa, to carry on his experiments with the laws governing the pendulum.

BIG CIRCUS’ SOON TO BE IN SANFORD
Sparks’ Word Famous Shows Due on Tuesday, November 23rd
The Sparks big three-ring circus will exhibit in Sanford on Tuesday, November 23rd, giving two performances and inaugurating its appearance with a splendid parade nearly two miles in length. Every feature of the great exhibition will be represented in this truly remarkable open den street pageant which leaves the circus grounds at 10:30 a. m. Since the last visit of the circus to this city, it has nearly doubled in size and this season finds it among the largest of tented exhibitions.
The Sparks Circus has always been noted for its fine display of horses and this season tango and shimmy dancing horses are to be seen in the equine numbers which include Caesar, champion high jumping horse of the world, as well as three groups of marblesque posing horses and collie dogs in lifelike portrayals of the works of noted sculptors. Other prominent features this year are the Cornallas family of European acrobats who are making their initial tour of America with Sparks Circus and presenting an act that for skill and daring has never been equalled. Included in the family is Miss Florence. She enjoys the distinction of being the only member of her sex in the world accomplishing a double somersault.
Then there are the two herds of elephants including “Big Zulu,” the skyscraper elephant and each herd worked entirely by lady trainers. Incidentally there will be many big arenic features interspersed with the animal acts, and clowns--well forty of them will be on hand to extract the laughs from you.
Two performances will be given daily--at 2 and 8 p.m. Before the regular performance takes place an hour’s time will be given in which patrons of the Sparks Circus may visit the menagerie and also the brose fair.

THE BOSS
When things go easy, he just saunters round,
At ten o’clock or so; then reads his mail,
Dictates some half a dozen letters to the girl,
Tosses us each word, or maybe two.
Looks at the papers, lights a good cigar,
Phones to a friend, and then goes out to lunch,
And I go home and say to maw—“Gee whiz!
I hate to work. I wish I was the boss!”
But my, when things go wrong! Maybe a strike,
Our prices rise, or some bank goes and busts,
then ain’t he Johnny-on-the-spot at eight!
Then he don’t take no time to read the news,
Nor eat no lunch, but keeps us all a-jump.
Then he shoots letters at the girl till she
Gets flustery red spots on her cheeks, and makes
Even his chief clerk hustle, yon know him
That grey one, with nervous sort of spin.
And me – why I’m greased lightening when he calls.
And when night comes, then he looks kinder pale
and anxious-like, and yet so full of fight,
I get a sort of aching in my throat,
Like something choked me, when I look at him,
And I go hand say to maw—“Gee whiz!
Bizness is tough. I’m glad I ain’t the boss!

NATIONAL GRANGE NOW HAS 750,000 MEMBERS
(By The Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Nov. 16
Membership in the National Grange stands at approximately 750,000, S. J. Lowell of Fredonia, N. Y., master of the grange reports.
In this period of active organization of farmers, Mr. Lowell thus briefly sketches the activities of his society, one of the oldest and best known of the farmers organizations:
“The first grange was organized on April 16, 1868, in Freedonia, N. Y. it is a secret order, similar to all secret orders in many respects, with a ritual surpassed by none.
“It is non-sectarian and non-political and is devoted wholly to agriculture and agricultural pursuits.
“It has one distinction, that in all its meetings it has what is known as the ‘lecturer’s hour’. This hour is devoted to the going over of matters pertaining to farm life, intersperced with music, recitations, etc., by the younger people. It has done more than any other one thing to build up and strengthen agricultural life.
“The grange is now organized in 33 states, which are chiefly in the north, as many of the southern states have no Granges. The largest grange state is New York, which has a membership of 128,000.
“A great deal of co-operative work is done. Insurance of farmers’ buildings is probably the greatest financial enterprise. The amount carried in the insurance department runs into the hundreds of millions.”

HIGH PRICES DID IT.
(By The Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.
Something has reduced the per capita consumption of meat in this country in the past year, W. J. Carmichael, secretary of the National Swine Growers Association said here, discussing the “Eat More Meat” movement he is endeavoring to set underway. He has called a meeting of livestock producers, livestock exchanges and packers for Chicago December 2.
At this conference he proposes to enlist all interested in establishing a national organization to act as a clearing house for meat men’s difficulties of this nature. Among these is what Mr. Carmichael terms unfair propaganda against meat.
“Vegetarianism is making some headway in certain sections, Mr. Carmichael said, “but a large part of the decrease in meat eating appears due to the use of meat substitutes. These have been encouraged by advertising. We don’t object to people using substitutes but we feel it very unfair for them to be led to do so, as in some cases, by misleading comparisons with meat values.”
Reports of working men receiving high wages developing into large meat eaters, Mr. Carmichael said held true only in some districts, such as Gary, Ind. Meat consumption for the country as a whole fell off 8 pounds per individual in the last year, he said.

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 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 inducement.

GREAT FLEETS TO ASSEMBLE IN THE PACIFIC
January will witness one of the greatest armadas ever assembled under the American flag, when the great Pacific and Atlantic fleets assemble in the Pacific for winter maneuvers.
When the time comes for the fleets to assemble in Southern waters this winter, the Pacific fleet under command of Admiral Rodman will steam to the southward towards the Gulf of Panama where it will assemble for winter operations. The Atlantic fleet under the command of Admiral Wilson, steaming southward, will pass Guantanamo Bay where it has wintered yearly in the past and will proceed to the Panama Canal, passing through which it will join the Pacific Fleet, creating the most magnificent naval spectacle in years.
Upon the meeting of the great fleets Admiral Wilson will become Commander-in-Chief of the great armada, and the winter maneuvers, spliced in with athletic meets between the various champions of the fleets will begin.
The re-union of the fleets will give the personnel a chance to renew old acquaintances, to see the sights of Panama, and while their friends shiver midst the snow and ice of the north to see the combined power of the organization of which they are a part.
It is expected that Admiral Wilson will have several hundred vessels under his command during the operations with combined gun power of 112 14-inch guns, 80 12-inch guns, 226 5-inch, and 28 3-inch. In addition to the great vessels of the fleets there will be submarines, destroyers, and auxiliary vessels in abundance, while the Naval Air Service will have their winged ships dotting the skies.
It will be an impressive sight even to the men-o’-war’s-men who are accustomed to the unusual and who believe that there is “nothing new under the sun.”
In the large picture above we see the Atlantic fleer steaming in formation flanked by subchasers, while the air scouts guard them overhead. In the top and immediate foreground are the muzzles of two of Uncle Sam’s mighty peace makers on the vessel from which the picture was taken. At the top and reading from left to right are: Admiral Wilson, who will be commander-in-chief of the combined fleets; Admiral Coontz, Chief of Operations; and right, Admiral Rodman who commands the Pacific fleet.

FLORIDA FORGING AHEAD IN PURE BRED LIVESTOCK
Large Prizes at State Fair Attract Many Entries, And Fine Show Is Assured.
Photo of a very large, black, male cow. Caption: Defender of Tierra Alta no. 220019, Grand Champion Aberdeen Angus Bull of South and West, 1918. at head of herd of J. J. Logan, Jacksonville, Florida.
Jacksonville -
A pretty good check on the rapidly growing livestock industry may be made by looking over the animals exhibited at the Florida State Fair, Jacksonville, Nov. 18-27. The premiums offered are larger than those of many bigger and older fairs, offering ample encouragement to exhibitors. Breeders from other states, taking advantage of the handsome prizes offered, have been showing their herds and walking off with most of the prize money. This year, however, they will have a little stiffer competition from Florida grown animals, the number of early entries by Florida breeders being much larger than heretofore.
One of the most important pieces of work accomplished by the State Fair has been to encourage the production of more pure bred livestock, and already it has gone a long way toward helping put Florida on the map as a stock growing state.
More livestock and better livestock should become the slogan of every community in the state which is to any measure adapted to stock raising.
Go to the State Fair this year (Nov. 18-27) and see how it can be done and what has already been accomplished.
----
SCRUB VS. THOROUGHBRED
Jacksonville - No more significant statement has been made in connection with the livestock industry than that of a man who knows well whereof he speaks:
“It costs no more to raise a 1200 pound steer than a 600 pound scrub.”
The truth of this statement will be graphically demonstrated in the live stock section of the Florida State Fair being held here, Nov. 18-27. compared the ----- may be odious but they often --- a spur to improvement.
Do you know the dates of the State Fair are Nov. 18-27?
DO you know the counties which advertise their resources at the State Fair are the most prosperous?
Do you know the State Fair is ready-made publicity agent for the resources of all Florida?
Do you know an exhibit at the State Fair will bring investors to this county?
Do you know a county exhibit at the State Fair advertises its resources as no other medium?
Do you know the State Fair will this year pay approximately $9,000 in prizes for cattle alone?

PRICES ARE ON THE DOWN GRADE AT LAST
There is evidently a general and growing belief that prices of all commodities have reached and passed the peak, and are now on the down grade. How far they will go cannot be foretold with any certainty. Judging from the past experience they may go lower than actual conditions will justify, in which case a reaction to a certain extent may be looked for. But the old plea that “you better buy now for everything will be higher next spring,” has lost its force, and no longer has any effect.
Getting down from the high plane which we have occupied during the last few years is naturally a painful and unpleasant process, but it had to come, and the only thing we can do is to make the best of it, and use out best efforts to make the transition as quick and easy as possible. It is displeasing to any retailer who may have his shelves full of high priced goods, upon which he must cut prices to the bone, eliminating any chance of profit, and deeming himself in great luck if the process does not involve an actual and serious loss.
But most retailers can have the satisfaction of looking back on a series of good years when constantly advancing prices made losses practically impossible and almost anybody could be a successful merchant. The wise ones were those who realized that such conditions could not last forever, and prepared in time for the coming storm, by restricting their purchases to their immediate needs. But all did not do that. Some were over sanguine, and will be the sufferers now that the frenzy for buying has come to an end.
With the farmers, the wheat raisers and cotton growers the case is somewhat different. During the war the government urged them to produce to the utmost, assuring them that everything would be needed for the support of the millions of soldiers we and our allies had put in the field, and which had been largely drawn from the farms and factories, thus reducing the numbers of the producers and augmenting those of the consumers and wasters.
The farmers responded to those urgings, in spite of all the difficulties they had to meet owing to the scarcity and inefficiency of labor, and the high prices of everything they used on the farms. They believed that even if the war ended suddenly there will be several years of re-adjustment, when the demand for raw materials from American farms would be continuous and insistent at long prices. Visions of $3 wheat and 40 cent cotton dazzled their eyes, and they rejoiced that nature assisted by their own strenuous efforts had given them big crops. But things have not worked out as they have anticipated.
The four years of war resulted in the storage of vast quantities of wheat which the end of the war released and it has been coming on the market to reduce the price, and now, but two years after the signing of the armistice we are told that France has raised enough wheat for her own needs, and both wheat and cotton are dropping in price, and the high prices on which the farmers built their hopes, seem farther off than ever. Germany wants cotton, in large quantities-estimated at 2,000,000 bales--but she has not the wherewith to pay for it. The same is the case with the starving peoples of the near and far east. They want bread, but they have no means of paying for it, and it must be given them if their lives are saved.
In their desperation the farmers have appealed to the government for relief in the shape of loans to enable them to hold their products off the market, and force higher prices, but the government says very properly, in the minds of many, that it cannot use its funds to promote speculation, and the farmers must pull through as best they can. There will be much dissatisfaction and grumbling, and possibly some suffering, but there does not seem to be any other way. The prime needs of all the people are cheap foods and clothing, and the needs of all must take precedence of the interests of any one class. – Tampa Times.

Do Your Fall Shopping Before the Holiday Rush
Excuses 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 of heavy fall buying really begins tomorrow. Make your selections early.

TODAY’S GEOGRAPHY
HAITI: MAGIC ISLE OF THE INDIES
Picture an island more wonderful, more beautiful and more richly endowed by nature even than the fabled isles that medieval mariners loved to dream about; a country of pleasant peaks, charming vales and fertile plains; an idyllic land set in a summer sea.
Picture then a land where the avarice of conquerors, ruthlessly exploiting, has blasted promises of progress; where the passions of men have run riot; where tyrant after tyrant, some great, some petty, have waded to power through pools of blood; a land from which the gods of peace and industry seem to have turned away.
Both are pictures of Haiti, the relations between which country and the United States are now under discussion.
To avoid confusion it must be explained at the outset that the name Haiti is used sometimes to denote the entire island, which is the second largest land mass in the West Indies, sometimes to denote merely the Republic of Haiti, which occupies the western third of the area. The possibilities of confusion are increased by the fact that the island is also known as Santo Domingo and San Domingo, names applied likewise to the Dominican Republic, which occupies the eastern two-thirds of the land unit.
The name Haiti is much used because it was the descriptive term, meaning “high land,” given to the island by aborigines. This was the favorite island of the West Indies to Columbus, who reserved for it the most complimentary name bestowed on the lands which he discovered--Hispanola, “little Spain.” Something of the impression which this beautiful and promising island made on the great discoverer can be gleaned from his reference to it as a “Garden of Eden,” and from the fact that he named the point at which he first set foot in Haiti, December 6, 1492, “the Vale of Paradise.”
History has been prodigal to the island of Haiti and has crowded one interesting and tragic event after another into the relatively short span of years since the eyes of white men first beheld its towering peaks. On its northern coast, near the present Cape Haitien the Santa Maria, which bore Columbus to the new world, was wrecked on Christmas eve, 1492, and from its broken, historic boards was set up by the crew the first structure erected by Europeans in the western hemisphere. This was the fortress of Navidad, in which the men of the Santa Maria were killed while Columbus was on his return voyage to Spain to report his epoch-making discovery of the “the Indies.”
Farther to the east on the northern coast of the island Columbus built on his return the first white settlement in the new world, naming the little town “Isabella” for the queen who had made the voyage of discovery possible. On this second trip Columbus brought with him to this magic isle a great fleet bearing a large force of soldiers and adventurers. After defeating the natives the conquerors journeyed to the south coast and there laid the foundations of the city of Santo Domingo--first permanent city established by Europeans in America, for many years the most important outpost of western civilization and forerunner of the countless cities and villages that are the seats today of the industry, commerce and culture of the three Americas.

A MUSICAL ADVENTURE FOR AMERICA
Newspaper dispatches state that there is a plan afoot to have a national carillon at Washington, D. C., as a tribute to the soldier dead.
Contact with the men and women of Flanders has directed American attention to one kind music, vital in the national lives of these people, which cannot eve be heard in this country.
A carillon is made up of a set of tower bells attuned to the intervals of the chromatic scale, usually covering a range of four octaves. To attain such a range the bell producing the lowest note must weigh several tons, while the smallest weighs scarcely twenty pounds. The bells are connected to a keyboard or to a clockwork mechanism which causes their clappers to strike.
Producing music from the bells requires great skill and dexterity on the part of the bellmaster for he must use his feet for the larger bells and the muscles of both his wrists and elbow are brought into play in producing the tremolando effect usually given. A fine carillon is not the result of a chance molding of metal but its making is as much as achievement wrought by a wise combination of excellent material and deep thought as a Stradivarius. Lovers of carillon music compare the tones to those of a pianoforte in delicacy and to an organ in majesty. When touched by the hand of a master like Denyn, the wizard of Malines, the music seems to come veritably from the heavens and to settle in peace and benediction over the surrounding country.
From the even rows of red-topped roofs and the trees of the surrounding level spaces in Malines the immense flat-topped Gothic spire of St. Rombauld once arose. The cathedral dated from the thirteenth century and has for hundreds of years been known the world over for the remarkable silvery quality of its bells. So much attention had been given to making it the best of its kind that its bell makers gained wide reputations and the town itself became the headquarters of bell founding.
The tower, vast and mysterious against the luminous sky, seemed to dominate the city. While compelling the attention is stirred the imagination as it kept watch over Malines and tolled the passing of the hours with its hugest bell. When not attached to the wonderful mechanism that controlled the ringing of the carillon, this bell required eight men to ring it. The range of the bells of this carillon was great enough to admit of many difficult operatic selections. Today the majestic tower mingles its dust with that of the ruined city over which it had for centuries guarded.
The carillon of Antwerp possessed the greatest number of bells of any in Flanders--sixty five. It has been said that from the cathedral tower on a clear morning 126 carillons could be heard.

REDUCED RATES TO JACKSONVILLE FOR STATE FAIR
JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 15.
As customary, all transportation lines entering Jacksonville—through G. Z. Phillips, director of Transportation—have announced reduced round trip rates for the annual Florida State Fair and Exposition, which will be held here November 18 to 27.
These rates—a fare and one-third for the round trip, are sufficiently low and attractive to please the most exacting prospective fair visitor, and are expected to be the incentive which will bring thousands of people to the big fall exposition, which, this year, assumes an importance far surpassing anything of previous years. The general admission to the Fair Grounds will be 50 cents.
In connection with the low rates, it is announced tickets will be on sale from all Florida points to Jacksonville on November 17, 19, 21, 23 and 25.
In addition, the same reduced rates will be in effect—within a redium of 100 miles of Jacksonville—-on November 18, 20, 22, 24, and 26. These tickers will be good on trains arriving in Jacksonville before noon on November 27.

The following personnel of officers will control the affairs for one year: E. C. Shreve, Jr., president, Hotel Valdez, Sanford; C. E. Young, first vice-president, prop.

ON THE MILK SUPPLY
I wish to state to the public that I have personally investigated our present milk supply in Sanford; I have been present during the milking and bottling of the morning’s milk which the firm of Walthall & Estridge are delivering to the public and that it meets with the requirements of the rules and regulations of the State Board of Health. They have agreed to stamp each and every bottle of milk delivered by them with the name of the dairy and the time of milking and bottling, so that the public may know the age and the dairy of the milk they are getting. They have also agreed that at five o’clock each morning, the night-before milk will be delivered to customers who do not prefer morning’s milk and wish milk earlier than it is possible to deliver the morning milk, the delivery of the morning milk to be made not later than 7:30 a.m.
At the present price of milk, I do not believe, for the value received, that we can equal it in food value with any other class of food that we can buy and I would urge the public in general, to rally to the support of our dairies who are complying with the state rules and regulations, that it may be put on a paying basis because it is an essential food supply of our city, as there are many babies, children and invalids who cannot live upon any other class of food.
DR. J. T. DENTON.
