He expre:iges his contempt for the method of warfare now pre- wailing in Europe In this pungent sentence: “fn this European war they are not killing as many 2s are reported. It has developed into a silly, dirty, underground, disgusting mud strug- gle. The men are bored to death.” —_————— The intelligent, fair.minded man who meets Governor Trammell per- sonally and listens to his temperate, thoughtful and conscientious way of discussipg public questions, is sure to note his evident desire to get at the right of every issue and do his duty without favoritism, and con- gequently he carries away a good impression of the chief executive of Florida. He was in Miami last week and the Herald of that city epeaks of him as follows: “Governor Trammell made a fine impression upon the people of Mi. ami while in the city this week. Heretofore the govefnor was either on a political jaunt or attending to state business while in the city. This time he came on an errand that dbrought him much nearer the peo- ple, and the effect was gratifying to Miami and Dade county people and probably, also, to the governor.” JSRS The following from the St. Pet- ersburg Times is the kind of mat- ter we like to read in the papers, for a hearty, genial, old soldier who has outlived the hates of war and all the shriveling prejudices and preposterous fictions sprung from that poisonous soil, and is able to meet his former foes a8 a Kkindly, tactful, courteous gentleman, is a good man to shake hands with and @ healthy object lesson in any com= munity in this country. The most ferocioug individuals we have met, both North and South, since the civil war, warriors of the ‘‘never, no, never forzive” kind, have almost fnvariably been those who did little or no fighting during the conflict | UP TWO DIAMONDS (By Associated Press.) London, Jan. 25.—How an Irish corporal picked up two diamonds from the drifting sands of his sentry post in German Southwest Africa, is told in a letter which has just reached his family here. “My present post is in a desert of sand dunes,” he writes. “A mirage shimmers continually on the horizon. The sand, blown by the wind, fills the eyes and throat anda bites into the skin. “It is our duty to keep the railroad open. That means very little sol. diering, but a great deal of shovel- ing; all day long the native shovel- ers' push aside the drifting sand, which would soon hide the rails if left to its own devices. #“Today, whtlg I stood idly watch. ing a group of complaining shovel- ers, my eye caught an unusual flash, and I stooped.and pickedup a dia- mond the size of a bean. I searched a little longer and found another, a bit smaller. There were no more.” INDIAN SOLDIERS IN LONDON (By Associated Press.) London, Jan. 25.—Convalescent Indian soldiers are being given an opportunity for sightseeing in Lon- don and roundabout. Parties of twenty -four at a time are being sent from the Indians’ quarters on the coast . Each party is composed of men of a single race, escorted by an Eng- lish officer able to speak their lan. guage. They visit the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, some of the parks, and one of the large department Careful provision is made for com . plying with the men’s racial cus- toms, dietary habits, and caste re- strictions. The Hindus dine at a private house as guests of a Hindu living here, where they are served on aluminum plates, the ordinary china ware being objected to. The Mo-. \hammedans have their meals at the Indian government’s London head- quarters. Three of India's ruling princes have just left London after a visit here. They are the Maharajahs of Bikaner, Kishangarh, and Jodhpur. The two former returned to France, while the latter, who is only 16 years old, took passage for Egypt, ‘where his regiment of Lancers is serving. The Maharajah of Bikaner under- went a minor surgical operation while in London. He commands a camel corps which has seen service in a dozen campaigns since 1900, when he took it over. Its latest exploit was a successful encounter with a Turkish patrol near the Suez canal. The camel corps remains in ‘Egypt, while its commander is tem<] AUCTION SALE THURSDAY, JAN. 28TH, AT 2 P. M.

The In- dian ‘soldiers, accustomed to opera- tions in mountainous regions, de. serve. great credit for quickly adapting themselves to the discom- fort' ‘'of standing hour by hour in the trenches, often knee deep in water. “The war will link India and Great Britain by still closer ties, '.md there will be an increasing identity of interest between the na- tive states and British India.” CHINESE MOHAMMEDANS 4~ DENY SUBSCRIBING MONEY ¢ TO TURKEY . (By Associated Press.) Peking, Jan.+25.—The report that Chinese Mohammedans have sub. scribed large sums or money for the war and other expenses of Turkey is denied by the leading Mohamme- dans in Peking. It is pointed out that the Mohammedans of China have but a flimsy connection with those of the Ottoman empire. th‘ rare e: tipns (Are unable to read th e;:ffh,figh is not trans- lated lnw}(l‘l‘m_gae.

Madrid, Spain, Jan., 25.—The quantity of merchandise seized as contraband by the British authori- ties at Gibraltar, is calculated at 100,000 tons. According to advices from the Spanish town of Algeciras, just across the bay from Gibraltar, the English authorities are per- plexed with the problem of provid- ing adequate warehouse space. 2,000,000 JEWS PENNILESS IN RUSSIAN POLAND (By Assoclation Press.) London, Jan. 25.—Two million Jews—one -sixth of the Jews in the world—have been made penniless in Russian Poland and the eastern fighting border by the struggling armies. Besides, there are 170,000 Jewish refugees in Galicla, 25,000 in Moravia and 75,000 in Bohemia. These figures were given out at a Jewish meeting recently held in London for the purpose of relieving the acute distress of co-religlonists. Plans, endorsed by Leopold de Roth. schild, were made to raise funds by subscriptions. A LAKELAND MAN'S EXPERIENCE Results Tell the Tale Can you doubt the evidence of this Lakeland citizen.

I Florida the 27th. i “The Winter Playground of Amer- ica” is the caption under which | these new pictures are known and | it goes without raying that the “winter playground” is Florida and a most delightful one it is too. Part one starts off with some beautiful sailing and fishing scenes, then a glimpse at the greatest of the west coast hotels with its wonder. ful “golfers’ paradise.” Famous peo- ple are shown in motion, not the least of whom is Powell, the well known *“Willis B,” who is omne of ‘the liveliest Florida boosters there is and is now publishing a breezy -daily at Clearwater. A surpriser for the people of the North is the great cattle roundup on Indian prairie, for few people real . ize the mighty cattle ranges in this State. A big fish fry on one of Florida’s famous “keys,” shows a bunch of people trying to get on the outside of three thousand pounds of mullet. ‘The luscious bivalves are shown in their own ‘“beds.” The great pine trees of Florida are being turned into crates. The mammoth \phosphate mines are shown in ope- ration and this one picture is worth ‘the price of admission alone to those who have never seen this wonder of Florida. “Nick,” the only living sewer crawler in the world is one of the novelties of the series ag well as the feeding of the deer, which will de. light the ladies and children. The big thrill is saved for the last and shows the handling of wild alli- gators. It looks easy in the pic. tures, and really it is not so hard if you know how to get the big ’'gat- ors’ jaws closed, but, you take chances trying to handle these big seven foot fellows as this man does" in the pictures. Mr. Leslie will also deliver his famous pictorial description of life “Behind the Bars.” Scenes of how 1,750 criminals live and how they die in the world's greatest prison at Columbus, Ohlo.

This gets your order ahead of the rush season before Easter and As we glance over the world to- day and note the progress along agricultural lines, we are impressed with the great advancement that is being made in not only the raising ot productg but in the marketing of them ag well. By a scientific study of conditions a farmer succeeds in raising twice as much on his farm this year as last at the same cost, thus doubling his apparent profit. However, un. less he knows how to market his crop his labor has been in vain, for tre packing, gradiug, etc., are as important as the prodveing. if he would obtain the highest prices, and the railroad facilities also must be considered. Many a crop of peaches or melons has.gone to decay through failure to anticipate conditions and plan ahead. Soon the MARKETS OF THE WORLD will be open to Southern planters through the opening of the Panama canal, but it is generally conceded that of all the States in the Union, Florida will be the most benefitted by this vast enterprise.
