Eleven cars fm the executive garages and four $10,000 a year secretaries, each with’ car and chauffeur—that’s one item + of Hoover economy. President Hoover already knows that he is defeated.

St. Johns River breezes are tempered with liver and onions, cab- bage and collards, which offers a unique variety.—Times-Union. So those are the Yeasons; no further apologies necessary. When such men as Richard Washburn Child, who served as ambassador to Italy in the Harding administration, takes the lead in heading an organization of republicans to campaign for the democratic nominee because he is disgusted with republican -leadership, it is a fair indication that re- publicans generally are just lukewarm in .their support of the president for reelec- tion.—Ocala Star. FORWARD, CUBA! It is hard, almost impossible, for peo- ple to appreciate fully soraetiee that they have always had. The man who has never been ill, who | has never felt the pangs of hunger, can not | as keenly sense the distress caused by siek- ness or the horror resulting from the dire want of food as he who has’ been sick or famished. 2 So he who has always, enjoyed the blessings of liberty.can appreciate that liberty-only in a small theasure compared with him who }ias fought for and attained liberty. It is, therefore, a tragedy for one whose heart and soul yearns and burns for liberty, who dedicates his life to the cause of liberty, to die fighting for it, die in the realization that the object for which he had struggled and suffered had not been attained. Such a man was Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, one of Cuba’s_ outstanding patriots. He abandoned his home, where he had every convenience that money could buy, his riches and his placid and tranquil life to fight for the independence of: his beloved Cuba. On October 10, 1868, he, with his small force of patriots, comprising friends, neigh- bors and slaves he had liberated, left his plantation, La Demajagua, near thé village ef Yara, and struck the first blow, in the | srappenings Ten Years’ War, for “Cuba Libre?’ For nearly six years thereafter he con- tinued to fight to break the Span‘«h yoke, withstanding difficulties and sufferings that made him appear almost superhuman, and, finally, on February 27, 1874, on the farm of San Lorenzo, he made the supreme sacrifice for his country. “Cuba adelante, por la libertad, por la justicia!”’ (“Forward, Cuba, for liberty, for justice!’”’) Those were the ‘watchwords that spurred on Carlos Manuel-de Cespedes from the moment he took up arms for his country’s independence till he died in action against the enemy. Monday, wherever there are Cubans, Carlos Manuel de Cespedes will be revered, and, in revering him, they will recall the words, and weigh them one by’: oie} that’ actuated him to fight and to die for his country. Cubans will be grieved, as he would be grieved, were he living, over the poli- tical conditions that prevail today in the Island Republic. The “liberty” that is in ascendency in Cuba today is not the type of \iberty that he fought for; instead, in many regards, he fought against governmental measures that were similar to those that are in force today under the Machado dictatorship. But devoted and courageous Cuban hearts will bring to life again, to’ live in eoncord with ‘constitutional government, and with its glories redoubled, the con- cept of “Cuba adelante, por la libertad, por la justicia!” | DEATH'S CATTAIN Tobssentsais « once descriea as “cap- tain of the men of death,” has been de- moted, now ranking no higher than ser- geant. Heart disease is now the “captain,” elaiming nearly twice as many lives as any other cause of death. Tuberculosis now stands sixth among fatal diseases. Statistics for the year 1929, the last available, show that for every 100,000 of population in the United States, 185 died of organic heart disease. Next came can- cer, 96; pneumonia, 92; Bright’s disease, 91; apoplexy, etc., 82, and tuberculosis, 69. The alarming death rate from heart disease and other maladies resulting from a degeneration of the blood vessels is at- tributed by many physicians to the stress and worry of our complex modern life.
