HUNTING SEASON IN FLORIDA OPENS TOMORROW The hunting season opens in Flor- jda tomorrow and thousands of eager sportsmen will seek the woods with gun and dog and make life miserable for the small game that comes within range of their deadly weapons. Man is a born hunter and has been since he first appeared on this planet, and despite centuries of civilization hig primal instinct to kill for the sake of killing is_ still strong within him. 'or proof con- sult the daily war news from Eu- rope. But in this country where we are at peace and are not legally permit- ted to kill ¢ach other “just for the fun of the thing” we take it out on the birds and squirrels and other in- nocent creatures of the woods and flelds and gratify our 1lust for slaighter without any danger to ourselves. Such a system has itsg advantages over the present Euro- pean method too obvious to be men- tioned. But at least we must pay for the privilege of hunting here, take out the license prescribed by law and kill only such game as ig bpecifically designated in the statute. For the information of hunters we publish the following which is official and comes from State Game Warden Jones: “County licenses are i:sued only to residents of the county and-secur- ing same entitles the holder to hunt only in the county issuinz the li- cense. County licenses cannot be fssued to a resident of another county. “A State license is issued to any person who hag been a resident of [autocrats have a way of solving big for the State for one year past and en- titles the holder to hunt in any part of the State. A holder of a state li- cense need not procure a county li- cense. “Non-residents, or persons who have heen residents less than one Year, must procure non-rceident li- cense for the county in which he de- sires to hunt. : “All hunters must have their 1i- cense actually with them when hunting. It is not sufficient that license has been procured, but it must astupily be with the hunter whily hunting, “The foliowing birds may be killed: Swan, geese, brant, river and sea ducks, rail, coots, mud hens, shore birds, plover, surf birds, snipe, woodcock, sandpipers, tattlers and curlews, wild tmj(ey gobblers, quail and turtle doves. ‘e “The killing of female deer, tur- key hens and robins is prohibited at all times. “The game warden will be on the job and will make it a point to see that all hunters have the proper Ii- cense. In addition to the game warden all deputy sheriffs, con- stables, marshals, policemeu and other peace officers are deputy game wardens, and are expected to see that the laws are respected. Besides there are a number of persong who have agreed to report any violations coming under their observation.” — Qe It seems to be generally conceded fruit to the northern market is solely and dis- that shipping green tinctly the cause for the slump in the price. would want to ship green fruit. — — - = om— No other theory hag been offered, and that one is quite suffi- clent to account for the trouble. No man with any sense wants to buy green fruit merely to look at—and he can’t eat it; hence it seems to follow that no man with any sense Lakeland is not only the conven-; tion city of Florida, but she invari- ably furnisheg the very best brand of convention weather. i The bum who was arrested in Jacksonville the other day soliciting | handouts at the back doors of prl-g vate houseg and upon being searched $45 in currency, is the kind of tour- ist we should welcome only promptly utilize in some form compulsory service for the city, county or State. Such an immigrant | isn’t of sufficient value to count even | in our population statistics, for, like the Irishman’s pig, he runs around ! 'too fast to be counted. o——— Sam Fackler, the well-known ‘peripatetic journalist of Florida, has acquired the Eau Gallie Record : and has brought out a beautiful boost edition by way of a starter in his new fleld. Sam is a uuaint old fellow linked to the fast-fading days of hand composition, G. Wash. presseg and other forms of the sim- ple life in ,Floridu print shops, but you can’'t keep him down and he will bob up unexpectediy in unex- Dpected places. Our best wishes are with him in his latest venture. —_— It is entirely natural and justi- flable for a man to fight for his life as long as possible, hence we don’t blame Leo Frank for appcaling his case everytime he gets a chance. But, all the same, to the lay mind it seems to be absurd that Frank should be permitted to invoke the jurisdiction of the supreme court of the Urited States upon the question of his presence in the court room when the jury brought in the ver- dict. That certainly has nothing to ldo with his guilt or innocence. In ' ‘Plant more hens and the g promises an English court such an issue would have no standing and Frank would have been hanged or ac- quitted long ago on the merits of his case. PECHIE WIS Today inaugurates the beginning ;of the most stupendous, far-reach- ing, heart-breaking thirst ever lo- calized on thig planet, for with the rising of the sun this morning in Russia the manufacture and sale of vodka and other alcoholic liquors | was forever prohibited in that coun- itry by decree of the Czar, who doesn’t have to wait for a wet or dry '.election to tell him what to do in a matter of that kind. The prohibi- tion is absolute, and the vast empire of Russia with itg 150,000,000 peo- ple is dry territory today. These | iproblemg very distressing from our constitutional point of view, but not the less effective. ot Qi If Speaker Farris ig now governor 'pro tem of Florida during the ab- sence of Governor Trammell and of President Drane of the State Senate, we trust that he will be satisfied with the distinguished honor of the ithing itself and not inaugurate any rash policies that would imperil the Ship of State. Pro-tem governors have been known to exercise their brief authority in very drastic ways, but we expect nothing of that kind from a level-headed man like Mr. Farris. He might with safety and propriety appoint a few more no- taries public, but beyond that we would not advise him to go. “Let well enough alone” should be his motto. —_———— LEAD EXPORTS INCREASE Washington, Nov. 19.—The de- partment of commerce recently ‘an- nounced that domestie lead, the ex- port of which heretofore has been virtually a neglible quantity, has now become an important factor in lthe foreign trade of the United ,States. Thousands of pounds have been shipped since last March to England, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Scotland and Russia.

PLANT MORE HENS. | (Florida Metropolis) ; Some months ago taking this for a catch phrase, The Florida} :Metropolis commenced a cam- paign to get the people of thej State earnestly interested in poultry raising, because this in-| dustry can be made one to earn more money and attract more in- terest than almost any other. Florida has no superior as a poultry country. The climate, ithe soil, and the weather are .all favorable to poultry production on a large scale at small expensc. . At Fellsmore last week, tak- ing up The Metropolis slogan, the people began in earnest to paign just started ‘sp'endid results in poultry pro- duction in that vicinity. An.(l from all over F'orida The Flori- da Metropolis has had comments lon this campaign for a great ?poultry production. The people ‘are becoming vitally interested, 'and have undertaken the produc- {tion of poultry more earnestlyi ,than ever before. And this industry can be made one of the most valuable if not |the most valuable to the State. {Just for those who like to figure. suppose we get just a few fig- ures on possibilities, even on a ismall scale, as to what the poul- !try industry could be made to ,amount to annually. Suppose instance, -that there are about 200,000 families in Flor- ida. Suppose each family kept | Next Week With tue Johnny J.

NCE MOVING TO- e WARD PROHIBITION Paris, Nov. 18.—Permanent pro- hibition of the sale of absinthe and ; kindred alcoholic beverages through- out UFrance may be a result of the; war. When war began, transporta- | tion and sale of absinthe were for- | | bidden, but traffic in other intogi- | cants wag continued. The origiunal order cf the government has now been supplemented with another for- bidding the sale of any alcoholic drinks similar to absinthe. In all parts of France there is a marked movement toward perpetuating this prohibition. This country has I been rated as the largest consumer of liquors, although the statistics ravailahle do not show the amount of alcohol consumed in this form. CORN AND CANNING CLUB Rome, Ga., Nov. 18.—The Boys’ | Corn Clubs and the Girls' Canning | 1Club: are holding their convention in this city, commencing today "and lasting through the 20t%. An excur- sion has been planned, on which the five hens. It is said that a hen will average 200 eggs a year in | Florida. Taking this for a bas- lis, five hens for every family in Ithe State would produce 200, 000,000 eggs per annum. Just (for the sake of argument, sup- Ipnse half the eggs were con- IVerted into frying chickens, to ,retail at thirty cents each. That {000,000 annually. The other 100,000,000 eggs at two cents :éach would be w another Thus, orth two millions of dollars. as that would bring more money than our entire production of cit- rus fruits, corn crop, cotton crop, cattle production, and tourist ex- penditures every year, combined. But for the sake of argument, let’s just cut the estimate half in two. ‘That would leave a poul- try production annually of $16,- 000,000 or more in money value than our citrus fruit crop, and our corn crop combined! Our citrus fruit is today our pride, and our money crop, and all of us want to see more or- anges and grapefruit and limes every year— and yet it takes from six to eight years to bring an orange grove into bearing, and a chicken will begin to pro- duce eggs before it is a year old. In other words a chicken farm can be started, and results may be expected in the way of mark- otable produce, in from one- sixth to one-eighth of the time it takes to begin to reap the profits on this basis, the eggs and poul- try produced on so small a scale; ytoung people will be taken through one of the largest cotton manufac- turing concerns in the South, the Massachusetts Mills, and gnldes will exploin the processes of manufac- turing cotton into cloth. Gov. John M. Slaton, State School Superin- tendent Brittain, Chancellor Bar- row of the University and President Soule, of the State College of Agri- cultnre, are expected to be present and will deliver short addresses dur- ing the three-day meeting. PINKNEY HOME REOPENED New York, Nov. 18.—The old home of Mrs. Mary Goodwin Pink- ney, which has been closed since the death of the mistress in December, 1908, will be thrown open today for the reception following the wedding of Mrs. Pinkney's grandniece, Miss Anna Pinkney Watt. Misg Watt, daughter of the late Thomas Lister Watt, banker and turfman, will be married to Beverly Keator, grand- son of the late Theodore Moss, in St. Thomas's church this noon. The old home, which has been closed for the past six years, rates back to Colonial days and has few modern improvements, but its furnishings are rich in historic value. For this wedding reception it will be lighted with lamps in use a century ago, or with candles. The color scheme used in the spacious rooms will be pink and blue, the turf colors of the bride’s father. The maid of honor at the church ceremony will be Ran- dall Keator, a brother of the bride- groom. — Switzerland spends more on the relief of the poor than any other ter repeated failures with other|fl‘(\m a gr(.ve—'—and a chicken country. medicines.
