They can't keep track of all the hunting parties, but they can investigate a good many of them, and as the law requires that the hunter must have ‘ his license on his person and must show it at the demand of the war- den, it will be easy for the latter to spot the law breaker when he comes up with him. Our State game laws are founded in wisdom to prevent the extermina- tion of wild game and to receive a revenue to the State and county for the privilege of hunting, and every good citizen should co-operate with the wardens in enforcing the law. The man without license has neither a legal nor a moral right to hunt and he is imposing upon other hunt- ers who obey the law when he does so. He is an Ishmaelite in the hunt- ing fleld and he should be treated accordingly. He is claiming special privilege and immunity not granted to others. i (i The first breath of winter today, and it bears about as much resemb- lance to the real article they are having further north as spring wa- ter to a cake of ice. Think of those milliong of men shivering in the frozen trenches in France and thank the Lord for a peace president and a necutral nation. —_— The grim old tyrant, King Win- ter, ig now bringing his forces into the fleld to take a hand in the Eu- ropean war and he will do more to make both sides sick of the bloody mess than all the shot and shell thus far fired. With snow and ice as his Infantry and artillery and freezing, howling- blizzards as his irrecistible cavalry, he has resources of suffering and despair at his com- mand that will make even the King of Terrors hig mere subordinate ally. —_—— Aunt Hetty Green celebrates the seventy-ninth anniversary of her tirthday and is as chipper and keen on a trade as ever. By strict atten- tion to business, economy and frugal living she has amassed a little mat- ter of $100,000,000, or thereabout, which it is thought will be ample for her simple wants during her de- clining years. LIRS Those jingoes in this country who made roaring asses of themselves braying for war with Mexico because 2 couple of American marines suf- fered the indignity of temporary ar- rest at the handg of Mexican author- ities some months ago, now have an elegant opportunity to start up their asinine chorus again. A bunch of irresponsible Turks fired on some of our sajlors in a launch the other day in Turkish waters, fortunately not hittidg any of them, and now the yaps alwayg seeking an oppor- tunity to criticise President Wilson should insist on nothing less than war with Turkey to maintain the honor of our flag abroad. Good thing for this country that we've &ot a real man at the head of it. —_———— It is good to know that under the new currency system, with its fed- eral reserve banks, just inaugurat- €d, for which the country is indebt- ed to the Democratic party, there can never again be a panic in this country in which the money will be locked up in the banks, the bankers frightened out of their wits and the commerce and industries of the land suspended and permitted to go to the dogs because an unreasoning scare had withdrawn the necessary money from circulation and every- thing collapsed in consequence. All our big panics have been due to the cowardice of money scuttling for cover. That can’t happen any more in thig country. The regional banks have solved the problem. Glory to the Democratic party! John Lind hit the nail right on the head when he said yesterday im Chicago that fighting would never cease in Mexieo until there wasg re- distribution of the land there; Car- ranza is pure Castilian and more aristocrat than commoner, and un- der his administration cutting up the huge landed estates would make but little headway. Villa is of the people, peon stock himself, and in keen sympathy by blood and experi- ence with the landless milliong of Rig country, and he will never rest, unless they kill him in the mean- time, until his dream hag been real- ized and the great haciendas of Mex- ico have been cut up into small farms and sold on easy payments to the laborers who are now but ten- antg at will working for beggarly wages. —_— BROWN-NEWMANS Mr. Fred Brown, of thig city, and Miss Fannie Newmans, of Kathleen, were married yesterday afternoon at the home of Mr. Henry Lewis, the latter gentleman officiating at the ceremony. The marriage is the cul- mination of a friendship extending trom childhood. Mr. Brown is one of the proprietors of the Brown Brothers Pressing Club here while his bride is one of the most popular young ladies of the Kathleen neigh- borhood. Both have many friends, who wish for them a long and happy wedded life. - Accompanied ¥y a deafening crash . a big seven-passenger touring car ‘occupied by J. Bunyan Smith, of Mulberry, and his chauffeur, Harry Howard, collided head-on with a light automobile which reposed emp- ty last night in front of the home of W. L. Blocks, No. 803 Hender- son avenue. Mr. Block’'s automo- bile was demolished, having been knocked, so he declares fifty feet. Howard, the Mulberry chauffeur, was arrested on a charge of drunk- enness and reckless driving. He is out on a $100 bond. Mr. Smith, ‘who is proprietor of the Mulberry ‘Bottling Works, gave a personal check for the amount.—Tampa Tri- hune. Members Of Boys’ Corn Club Made Excellent Yield Notwithstanding the past season has been unusually unfavorable for growing corn, the exhibits of the Boys’ Corn Club Contest now dis- played in the Kibler Annex, are very creditable. They serve to show that corn of excellent quality can Le grown in this part of Florida, with as good yield per acre as can be produced in the socalled corn growing States. The following exhibits are noted: [Kerfoot Bryant, Socrum, 56 bush- els to acre. This secures the first cash prize, which under the division agreed upon of the $200 appropriat- ed by the county, will amount to $45. This young man also wins a lcash prize of $10 and a gold watch, ]these prizes having been offered by the E. O. Painter Co. for the best yield produced by the boy using their fertilizer. Guy Wilder, Lakeland, 55 bushels, 2 pounds. Young Wilder will be given the second cash prize, amounting to $40. The remainder of the prize money will be divided among the other contestants accord- ing to their standing in the contest, it having been decided to give each of the contestants some part of the money. P. W, Sellers, Fort. Meade, bushels. . Louis. Harrell, bushels, 38 1bs. H. H. Hancock, tushels, 35 1bs. Spence Rushing, bushels, 38 lbs. There were twenty-four boys entered in the contest, and each of them have. done a splendid work, not only for themselves, but for their State, in demonstrating the 52 Kathleen, i1 Kathleen, 35 v Kathieen, > possibilities of what may be made one of Florida's leading crops and most valuable resources. The con- test is held under the supervision of Mr. A. A. Lewis, county demonstrat- or.

Mr. B. H. Belisaris has taken the matter up with Adjutant Genera] Foster and nas secured au- thority to take the preliminary steps towards organizing a company of the State militia. A meeting of all who are interest- | ¢d in this matter is called for Mon. day evening, next, at 7:30 o.clock at the City Hall. There is at this time opportunity for the enrollment of one more com- pany of the State troops, and only one, and as other towns are consid- ering such an organization, the ne. cessity for prompt action is appar- lent. = A military company would be a fine thing for the city and the young men composing it, and the ' Telegram hopes to see it organized.
