WIN. DEAR" he say for international

truth in a straightforward and tete-a-tete
manner. You are too spendthriftless In

that Panama Canal which is more ex-
pensive to keep in the family than a
automobile. You would imagine Uncle
Sam was President of the Bell Tele

Thusly we can save Sufficient annual, mil

Thought from his internal pocket:
THE VILLAGE AIRSHIP
Under the spreading chestnut bush
The Village Airshp lies.
The Boy inventor at the helm
He's trying for prize.
He fills the tank with gasolene
And gazes at the skies.
Up In the spreading chestnut bush
The Village Jay Bird sits
He sees that queerish aro-plane
And laughs himself to fits
eff that Thing flies I'll quit the Skies
He twitteringly twits.
Around the spreading chestnut bush
The Village Joshers leer.
One says. How would you like to be
A airship-engineer?"
One says. His poor Pa died of drink
No wonder Bill is queer"
The Boy Inventor twists the wheels;
Propellor-blades go round.
She starts. she quakes. she bumps, she
shakes
AS IL In pain profound
Does all a Airship ought to do,
Except to leave the ground
The Boy Inventor vainly tolls
Until the fading light.
Then leaves his Filler meath the bush.
Unguarded from the night,
II guess the thing won't run away"
He says-and he is right
Up In the spreading chestnut bush
The azure Jay doth peck.
What don't go Up won't neer come
Down.
He twitters, land by Heck,
If aeros all was built like that
Folks wouldn't break their neck"

hard-surface road, the scenic highway
Of the East Coast. The town is To-
Gated on the Halifax River, over

many pretty homes owned and occu-
pied by residents and winter tourists.
It has several churches, one of the
best graded schools in Volusia

estate agency and two or three hotels.
A large number of tourists and
winter residents make Port Orange
winter headquarters, one Of the sew
eral attractions being the excellent
fishing. Port Orange is in the orange
belt and a number of very fine citrus
groves are nearby, where oranges,
taneerines and grapefruit hang in
profusion. Some of the best trucking
land in the State is to be found
thereabout and excellent crops are
raised.
West of Port Orange a short dis
lance are the remains of the old
Dunlawton sugar mill, spot that is
visited every year by hundreds of
tourists. At one time all the coun-
try west of Port Orange, surrounding
the old mill, was a vast sugar-cane
and indigo plantation. The mill was
operated extensively in those days
but has been in disuse for thirty or
forty years.
A pretty automobile or carriage
drive from Daytona is via the ocean
beach to the approach of the Port
Orange bridge, across the bridge and
then passing through Port Orange to
the ruins of the celebrated old sugar
mill, returning 70 Daytona by the
road on the mainland. This drive
affords a very pleasing variety of
scenery. ----
