London, May 10.—FIlis are con- sidered so dangerous a foe that a stafi of entomologists have been en- gaged to inaugurate an anti-fly cam- paign at the British front. It is feared that the insects will carry the germs of epidemics from the eastern that his friends are strongly urging | theatre of war to the western un- him to make the race against Park Trammel] and Senator Dranme, both of Polk county. Representative Wood's friends throughout Pinellas county have all along felt that he would make a good race, but knowing his friend- ship for Mr., Sparkman they felt that he would not enter the race azainst the present incumbent should he decide to run. However the general opinion seems to prevail among “Uncle Steve's” friends that the splendid public servant will not again make the race on account of bis advancing and declining health. In event Col. Sparkman does not announce as a candidate against the two Polk County cadidates it is al- most a safe bet that the Pinellas man will toss his fiat in the ring With a whoop. If he does, his chances to win are excellent. less prompt measures are taken to exterminate the larvae. The army will be ordered to clear up and burn or destroy all rubbish near the camps, which might serve fly breeders. ——— Trammell and Drane both live in Lakeland and they would split the Polk county vote and the Hillsbor- ough vote is certain to go against Trammell, according to the dope handed out. number of Mr. Wood"s friends stated they did not think he was in a notion to make the race. How- ever, from Tallahassee comes the in- formation that the Pinellas repre- seitative is seriously considering the matter.

Smith will engage in a battle with Dick Gilbert, the Denver heavy- weight, which is slated for tonight at Denver and immediately after that will return home ¢nd meet Jack Dillon on May 2d at the Broad- way Sporting Club. Smith intends boxing Coffey, Weinert and all fast as they can arrange to him, and that when the right time arrives he says he'll take Mr. Wil- ined a decision over.

Berlin, May 10—By the first the Amerikanische Kuche or American war kitch- is to go out of commission, for want of funds, notwithstanding that it is one of the most popular place of its kind in the city. It came into existence October 19, 1914, and up to the middle of April has spent, for feeding alone, about 15,000 marks. Fifty women from the American colony, in alternating groups, of eight have gladly given their time in serving the war suf- ferers. As the war has progressed, how- ever, the membership in the Ameri- can colony here has slowly but steadily decreased, and funds for the kitchen have come in more and more slowly, and their end is now in sight. of Hilfs en meal, costing exclusive of labor or any other item, 30 pfennings. Sup- plies have gone up in price, how- ever, and the same food that in Oc- tober cost 30, now costs 35 pfen- nings—another item in hastening the end. With a biz, light, airy placed rent free at their the Americans tried to feed 200 per- sons a day, with a meal that in many cases has proved to be much better than that formerly enjoyed by the beneficaries in their homes in times of peace. In selecting the persons—mostly women—deserving of help, the kitchen has had valuable service from the “Natonal Frauendienst” or association for helping women. This organization has taken over entirely the matter of issuing cards entit- ling persons to meals, and has exer- cised scrupulous care to see that there was no imposition. The moment that a woman's hus- band gets work, or some other ave- nue of income has been opened up to her, the Frauendienst has shut off her privilezes at the kitchen. Thus recently a woman who had building disposal, been coming to the kitchen regular- ly for three weeks entered on the Big FURNITURE Closing Out Sale We have decided to close out our entire .Stoecka‘(;f Furniture AT COST and BELOW, to make room f F departments. buy all the e Y ACTORY PRICES 4 42 want at (.

George Stallings, Jim Mitchell and Tom Hughes are willing to be quoted to the effect that they expect the Giants to de- velop the league's most powerful op- position to another Boston triumph, basing their belief on the old, old argument of the confirmed dopster —the argument that endows the Giants with class and denies it to the Phillies. Second Lieut. D. N. Gaussen, who was a member of Oxford's relay team which won the four-mile race at the Penn relay carnival last year, won a notable victory in a military cross-country race at Shoreham, Eng., on April 10. He finished near- 1y a minute ahead of the second man & |others who think they can fight as{over a course of more than seven meet miles. There were 217 Starters.

Tebin of S§t. olever the 1 Ouis, The Braves do not for a moment ; and Wockland and Zwilling of Chi- imagine that the Giants are out of cago. e s, ————————————————————————————— Monday of the fourth—without a card. Sobbing and weeping she ad- mitted that she had been to the Fraueddienst and had been refused a card, and under pressure said the feason for the refusal was that her husband was again back at work and carning money, Somewhat surprised should continue to seek assistance under those circumstances, the women at the kitchen pressed her for her reason—and got it. “I—1 know my man is working again,” sobbed the woman, “b-—h— but youw s-see, the meals are so good here.” The beneficiaries of the kitchen assemble at Schlesischestrasse 26 promptly at noon and are ndmltuad' on the hour. They present Lholr‘ cards from the Frauendienst and are given a brass check, which lhcyl turn over to the young American | women who act as waltresses. They get in return a meal, con- sisting of soup, meat, potatoes and vegetables, so generous in its pro- portions that dozens of the women have fallen into the habit of bring- ing one or two of their children share the that she ample ration. Perhaps one-third of the 200 serv- ed daily take the meal home and there split it up with their families. The other two-thirds, almost invar- iably neatly dressed and well-man- nered, sit at neat, white-covered in- dividual tables in a cheery big room decorated with the intertwined American and German flags. The ta- bles are decorated with flowers. The German women have taught their children to bid their hostesses adieu, and the conclusion of each meal sees a host of youngsters shak- ing hands gravely with funny little courtesies. The guests almost in- variably have their favorites among the American women and o straight to tables where they know they will be served by the one they like best. The assistance of the Americans in Berlin to war sufferers has not been confined to giving away meals, Scores, if not. hundreds of pairs of shoes and articles of clothing have been dealt out, and at Christmas time there was a jollification at which boxes were given out. The money necessary to carry on this work has not of course come from Americans here exclusively. Berlin Americans through friends in the United States have from time to time raised consderable sums, and still are getting a little, but not en- ough apparently to carry on the work. A DRY SPRING The longest spring drought in more than forty years has fallen upon the Eastern part of the coun- try, according to reports of the na- tional weather forecast and crop bulletin . But while cotton, vegetables and frait in the East are suffering from dry weather, the wheat and corn sections of the Middle West have en- joyed just the right mixture of rain and sunshine. The prediction of a satisfactory wheat harvest bids fair to be realized. The West is always talked of as the great agricultural section. Yet it is worth remembering that the figures in the thirteenth agricultual census give the State of New York first rank in the production of four of the eleven leading farm crops— hay and forage, potatoes, garden vegetables and apples. City dwellers worry little about the weather save as it affects their convenience and pleasure. But to the farmers of the State weather at this time of the year is the “para- mount issue” BITS OF WISDOM. Self culture is practical or it proposes as one of its chief erds to fit us for action, to make us efficient in whatever we under- take, to trzin us to firmness of purpose and to fruitfulness of resource in common life and ¢s pecially in emergencies, in tims of difficulty. danger and trial — Chauning.

Wouldst thou be such a man, single bearted selfishness, who hast no sympathy with the suf- fering, no smile with the happy?

We may be altogether sure that no gen- uine develspment of literary taste among the American peo- ple in any period of our future hixtory enn result in serfous mis- fortune to this particular speci- wen of American literature.— NMoses Coit Tyler OLD AGE AND DEATH.

Leaving the old, both worlds at once they view That stand upon the threshold of the new. —Edmund Waller. wiser THE FILIPINOS. Some of our friends who are zealously advocating independ- ence for the Philippines are not in possession of the facts. The great mass of the Filipino people not only have no desire for inde- pendence; they don't even know what independence means. The Filipino’s idea of independence is that he ought to be turned loose to do as he pleases, with an American fleet lying outside of Manila bay to prevent any- body from interfering with him. In other words, we should be re- sponsible for his acts and pro- tect him from their conse- quences. Hayving raised up a badly behaved boy and turned him loose, we should keep any- body from spanking him.—Dean C. Worcester, Secretary of In- terior and Member of Philippine Commission. PESSIMISM.
