why One Central American Tow n
Had Rad Drinking water.
Here Is an incident that illustrates
the unexpected difficulties which en-
tCrprlsc has sometimes to face In GER
tain regions Of Central America: From
certain large lake an important town
drew It's supply Of water. by means
OF powerful steam driven pumps the
water was drawn from the lake
through a strong iron pipe, which, art
or running some eighty or ninety yards
into the lake from the shore, ended In
On upward turn, a short arm bent at
right angles to the pipe and rising to
within few feet Of the surface. Sud
denly an epidemic visited the town In
question. The company's reputation
being threatened, 1t was decided to
stralghtway pull up the Shoets and eX-
pose the main pipes and conduHs.
The entire syster2 was laid bare,
from the outskirts OF the town 10 the
very shores Of the lake. but the minut-
est examination failed to reveal any
suspicious feature. Then, almost Mt
their wits end, for the epidemic was
raging as badly as ever, the officials
entered upon the last lap and turned
their attention to the submerged por-
lions Of the conduit, and here 1t was
they found the cause. A huge ALL
gator had been drawn toward the
mouth Of the main by the very strong
influx, and, being unable to release
itself from the suction, had remained
there until 1t died, and thus, for good
ness knows how long, all the water
consumed in the town had first filtered
through the decomposed carcass of the
alligator.

ADVERTISING TIL lR TOWNS.


ADVERTISING TIL lR TOWNS.
Lakeland News There are two
towns in the State of Florida
whose claims to prosperity made
by their home papers we are in
clined to believe, while skeptical
n regard to many others. These
$40 towns, or rather cities, are Mi
u and Live Oak. We believe
cir papers when they claim that
rneir towns are prosperous and the
people are progressive, simply be-
cause the newspapers themselves
bear on their faces the imprint of
the progressive spirit of the bust
ness men of these communities.
The papers TEEN with advertise
nnents of local merchants, and a
glance at these advertisements
show that they are carried by en-
ferprising business men who have
up-to-date stocks and have modern
ideas as to the way to conduct bus
iness. The Miami Metropolis and
the Live Oak Democrat are the
best advertisements these two cities
could have. When man wants
10 mine a certain metal he goes to
some locality where that metal is
known to exist; likewise, when he
wants to do business, he is apt to
go where there is business.
y newspaper man boost and blow
and lie about his town, but it wiz
be a difficult matter, nevertheless,
TO conyincea discriminating reader
that it is published in a live town
IF it contains msager quantity Of
advertising. The local paper re-
fleets the character of the business
men of town as in a looking
glass.

"OPEN" COMPETITION.

True Democrat On August first
when certified check" was re-
quired, Supreme Court report
printing was awarded to the Capt.
tai Publishing Company at $3.50
per page. On August second,
when no certified check" was
required, the same kind of printing
was awarded the St. Augustine
Record Company at "a cents per
page. The first arrangement kept
out competition and placed the
work in chosen hands, while the lat
ter, allowing real competitive bid
ding, saves to the taxpayers of Flor
ida Is cents on each page, Besides,
all printing that comes from the St.
Augustine house is neat and clean
and will compare favorably with
the best law work done anywhere.
Again, the same kind of work, re-
printing several volumes of Su-
preme Court reports, was awarded
to the Painter Company, of De-
Land, last week at 10 cents page
a saving of 10 cents a Page-under
the system of honest, unrestricted
competition. They also have a
reputation of doing good work.
That neither of the lower bidders
will net rich at such prices is a fact,
but the price to be paid under the
certified check" plan is exorbitant.
These comparisons serve to illus
trate the quality of friendship for
the people possessed by their servant
who conceived this certified check
plan of competition as applied to
State printing contracts.

EXCuLPATlNG EVIDENCE.

During the week the Standard

thing of the sort might have
been expected when it was an
nounced that Mr.. John d. Rrcke-
Teller had bought wig.-Savan-

We were glad to see the fore
going. Sometime ago, while the
Banner was strenuously defending
Mr.. Rockefeller, the Ocala editor
announced that the Standard Com
pany would shortly reduce the
price of coal oil two cents a gallon.
This and other utterances on the
same line caused certain of our es-
teemed contemporaries to insinu-
ate that Editor Harris was a paid
advocate of the great kerosene
monopoly. The Star never be-
lieve this of Mr.. Harris. 1t simply
thought he didn't know what he
was talking about, and the fore
going paragraph shows the correct
ness of the think.-Ocala Star.

what They Are and the Ages nj
which They First Appear.
Professor Earl Barnes is authority
for the following list Of human hun
gers" and the ages at which they can
first be noticed:
Hunger for food and drlnk-lnfancy
Hunger for nction-lnfancy.
Hunger for owledge-infancy
Hunger for companionshlp go six
weeks.
Hunger for property years.
Hunger for self aggrandRclhent-fiv
years.
Hunger for bcauty-two years.
Hunger for Rasoning-seven years.
Hunger for worship-thirteen years.
Hunger for righteousness - fifteen
years.
The neutral desire for food and drink
is strongest, said the professor, at
birth After twenty the appetite
should, II not misused, become less and
less till at seventy a man or woman
ought to require only one small meal
a day.
The hunger" for property is very
strong at about ffteen-the collect
ing" age, when boys will amass any
thing, from stamps to beetles. When
all other dangers" fail the property
hunger still exists, and a man is most
likely to be a miser when he is nearest
his grave.
The hunger" for beauty-that is, the
real beauty hunger" which means the
admiration of art for arts sake-is the
most uncommon Of all.-London Ex-

Here is a matter for a bust.

Here is a matter for a bust
ness man to consider.
Does he want to increase
his trade and at the same time
help to prove that he is located
IN a live and growing town?
An advertisement in The
News will do both.
A good paper of general
circulation, filled with adver-
tisements of local business
houses is the best indication
of a towns commercial impor-

public the spirit of progress

claimed, but really exists in

AN OPEN
LETTER
Prominent Preacher saws
aword about "ThatMaSS
Meeting" Which so much
Troubled the News Man
To the Editor of T h B OF ii n a q

/ 10 the Editor OF L e b o t t / n q
Courant:
l am sorry that the News editor
should attach such an Interpretation
to the citi zens meeting of few weeks
ago and read into it so much of "pol-
itics.
AS one of those interested I would
like to give my understanding of it,
both as to the procedure and the re-
suits. I consider the Interpretation
put forth by the News az an outrage
upon and an insult to the intelligence
Of the people of Bottineau. and more
especially to those Immediately in
terested.
In the first place was the author of
that ''rectifying' formulary in posi-
tion to judge rightly or righteously of
the spirit which expressed itself at
"that meeting?'' I understand that
he was on the far side of the continent
at that time and for a considerable
period previous, 80 that he has had to
depend on hearsay from minds with
apparently good deal of 'political
bias for report of that meeting.
1t seems to me that the most reason
able thing to do was to judge of the
meeting by it's resolutions. which were
published for the use of the public.
Those resolutions were framed by the
mini sters. with some suggestions from
others, and with the concurrence of
DR.. Howard, against whom there
seems to be raised the charge of being
one of the conspirators in this dark
plot against the good name of Bottin-
eau, and the intelligence of its mum.
cipal government. This same DR..
Howard presented the matter to the
meeting. stating it's object and giving
his mind in relation to it, There were
those who tried to put political tenor
to the matter before the meeting. but
it was found out of place and could
not satisfactorily be thlust into any of
those resolutions
The News speaks of the meeting as
unnecessary and uncalled for. Well!
That just depends it seems to me.
upon ones moral sensibilities. If the
conditions to be observed during this
last winter mean anything at all, they
mean that there was room for improve
ment in several directions.
lam glad we have a good municipal
government and because it is good we
would like to see it better, for there
is no kind Of government can exist
without the moral factor and factor
emphasized.
Let us keep that miserable spirit of
partyism in proper control and not let
it color our every thought.
Respectfully,
w. N. Gillis.
