But the world went on revolving
Just the same.
Her answer filed his heart with woe,
But the world went on revolving
just the same.
She had no wish to be his bride,
Her cold rejection hurt his pride.
He med-i-ta-ted suicide,
But the world went on revolving
just the same.
The business man ran out Of cash.
But the world went on revolving
just the same.
His business simply went to smash,
But the world went on revolving
Just the same.
He pleaded with the banks, but no.
They wouldn't help him make it go.
And so his heart was filed with woe.
But the world went on revolving
just LQe SAME.
And so It is-we come to grief,
But the world goes on revolving
just the same.
Our ship runs on a jagged reef
But the world goes On revolving

And when at last, in course Of years,
There comes an end to hopes and
fears.
And we must leave this vale Of tears.
1t will go right on revolving just

afterward.
There is reason for believing that
even after the acute symptoms OF the
disease have passed, the infection
may in some instances be still trans
mitted ty the patient by means of
the nasal secretions. 1t is for this
reason that the secretions should be
cared for over a longer period than
is embraced in the acute stages OF
the malady.'
What are the main sources of in
fection?"
"Infantile paralysis is chiefly a
disease of children, but it sometimes
attacks adults DR.. Flexner said.
Since the germ causing it is carried
by those who have been i'll, as we'll as
by persons who have been in immed-
late contact with the patients, it is
not surprising to find that the begin
nings of many epidemics have been
traced to schools where many chill
dren are assembled; but any consid-
cradle gathering Of persons, which
includes many children who are
brought together during the preya-
lence of the disease, may be the
means of spreading it widely.
''Thus it has been observed that
country fairs, Fourth OF July cele-
brations and like events have all
proved to be such centres Of distribu-
ton of the Infection
The period Of greatest prevalence
Of the disease, DR.. Flexner explained,
is in the summer. AS an epidemic
| it is a summer disease; that is, al
most all cases arise in the summer
months. and by far the greatest
number in July, August and Septem-
Der. However, the disease does not
wholly disappear at other seasons,
but small number Of cases arise in
the spring and fall months, and even
in the winter months. Whenever a
case arises, whether in summer or III
winter. it should be isolated and
treated with great care and prompti-
tude to avoid the infection of others.

mentioning save at the ends of its
branches. All the rest Of it is mainly
thorns. In fact, according to popular
belief, it is the plant from which the
crown of thorns was made, which
the Savior wore.
Specim ems Of it are not often seen.
One comes across 1t once in while
In botanical gardens in this country
where, in accordance with an old-time
custom, it is made to grow in such
ingenious fashion as to take the form
of thorny crown fastened upon a
cross. The effect thus artistically
produced, taken together with the
naturally weird aspect Of the plant,
is most bizarre and striking.
But the oldest thing of all about
the crucifixion plant, perhaps is that
1t bleeds. When cut with knife,
drops of red juice resembling blood
exude from 1t. No wonder, then,
that in the old world, where religion
and superstition SO frequently merge,
this strange vegetable should be re-
garded with awe. The ignorant peas
ants, indeed, are fully persuaded that
the red Juice is really blood, and to
them it is an additional sign Of the
supernatural that the small pinkish
flowers turn to dark crimson as the
season advances.

What most wondrous flower it was
that the Spanish priests first discov-
cred in the primeval forests of South
America, it's lovely blooms hanging
in rich festoons from the branches
Of the trees! No wonder that they
called it the flower of the passion and
saw in it a divinely exhibited token
that all of the pagan Indians would
be converted to Christianity.
The Five Wounds.
Another name they gave 1t was
flower Of the five wounds, and said

IF?
Il harness never had to be repaired:
If all leather was cheap and good
If horses never ran away
If accidents never happened
THEN
Any harness would do for you
would guarantee their harness
All harness would give satisfaction
And buyers would not be disappointed
BUT
Cheap leather is not strong and soon be
comes brittle; cuts and blemishes can be
filled and hidden with paste and heel ball
Few people can tell the quality of trim
mings when they are new. and many manu-
factuTers sacrifice quality to get cheap
price.
THEREFORE,
To be on the safe side, buy harness that are
sold as harness should be sold
harness of known value that bear the trade
mark of responsible manufacturer. and
have the guarantee attached insuring you
that they are what they look to be.
GEMCO Harness are such.

TRAIN LOAD AFTER
TRAIN LOAD OF
SETTLERS
ARE GOING TO CENTRAL CANADA.

The question of reciprocal trade re-
lations between the United States and
Canada has provoked considerable
discussion and interest. Whatever
else the discussion may have done, it
has brought out the fact that on the
Canadian side of the line the agri-
cultural situation is one that forces
attention, and 1t has also brought forth
the fact which it is we'll to face, that
on the American side of the border,
there is a vastly increasing popula-
tion to be fed with a somewhat de-
creasing proportion of food products.
This article is intended to point out
to those who may wish to become of
those who can raise wheat oats, bar
ley, fax, cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities In Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the official fig
ures show that upwards of 10000
Americans located in Canada, and the
greatest majority of these have settled
on farms, and when the time comes,
which 1t will within few years, they
will be ready to help serve their par
ent country with the food stuffs that
its increasing population will require.
The immigration for the spring has
now set in in great earnest, and train
load after train load of a splendid
class of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De-
! troit, st. Paul and other points. Most
of these are destined through to points
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta- The reports that come from
the different farming districts there
are that the spring is opening up well,
and the prospects for splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis
tricts good homesteads are yet avail
able. The price of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but it is
still away below it's earning capacity.
The immigration branch Of the Domin-
ion Government has just published it's

be secured on application to the De-
partment of the Interior, ottawa,
Canada, or any of the agents of the
Dominion Government, whose adver-
tisement may appear elsewhere in this

One of the most remarkable proofs of
the unusual laxative merit contained in
DR.. Caldwel!s Syrup Pepsin is that it is

wonderful laxative.

FOR OUR
HIGH SCHOOL TRAINING

Professor Workman has received a
letter from his former pupil, Laurie
Izlar. now a student Of Worord Coll
lege, spartanburg. S. C.. in which he
says:
Everybody up here seems surprised
that I can enter as sophomore from a
high school. The schools up here can
just prepare you for the freshman
class. I have come to the conclusion
that o. Fl. s. Is some school
II would seem so from his and other
testimony Herbert Martin has enter
ed the Alabama PoIytechnique as a
sophomore. Paul Weathers has enter
ed Amherst one Of the highest class
colleges in the United States as a
fresh. Young Cappleman. another O.
H s graduate, entered the University
Of Florida as a sophomore, and thers
are doubtless other instances not re-
ported here.
Professor Workman is a splendid in
structor and has always been most ef-
ficientIy supported by an excellent
corps of teachers. Others might not
have done so well, even with Ocala
boys and girls.
Laurie Izlar has twenty-four hours
a week of study in the higher branches
taught at Wofford. He is an unusually
bright boy and his Oca1a friends con
| fidently expect him to finish the work
he so we'll began in our high school.
