PUBLIC SPIRIT.

The character of any town is
determined by it's permanent not
it's transient citizens. Most Of the
people living in this town either
have lived or will live here dur
ing good part of their lives.
These people are therefore large
ly answerable for the towns past
and it's future. If they are en-
terprising and broad minded the
town us a political unit will adopt
an enterprising and broad gagged
policy. Making ones home is not
wholly comprised in the building
of a house on lot with fence
around it and a walk in front. or
necessity the influences within the
home are Of paramount interest
to the head Of d family. But the
Influences outside of the home
the atmosphere of the commune
ty-ls almost as important to the
individual home maker as is the
atmosphere of his firesidc.
No citizen can safely live for
himself alone. He is one of the
component parts Of this commun
ity and-whether he be active or
passive-he exerts a potent in
Auence in determining it's char
acter. knowing as everybody
does know, that early environ
ment leaves a permanent impress
upon the child it is difficult to ex-
plain the Indifference of citizens
with respect to their part in max
ing the environment in which they
their children and their neighbors
children spend the formative per
lod of their lives.
Time out of mind everybody
has talked of the Importance of a
proper moral, mental and spirit
ual atmosphere. But why not al
so give due consideration to the
business atmosphere? Merchants
and their patrons recognize the
value and Importance of individ
ual business enterprise, but they
often overlook the value and i'm
portance of community enterprise.
Every community is organized for
business purposes carry on
the public business of it's citizens.
The methods. the economy and
the effectiveness with which the
business of this community is con-
Quoted depend upon the enter
prise of the community's business
managers officials. The
character of these officials is de-
termined by the character of the
citizenship of this community. If
we want the public business con-
Quoted in an enterprising and eff
ticlent manner we must elect en-
terprising and efficient men to Of
flee and we must support them in
their work. To do this all good
citizens must show their interest
in the public's business to the ex
tent of learning what shall be
done, how it should be done and
whether it is being properly done.
To do this is to be broad gagged,
public spirited and enterprising
citizens.

TELEPHONE PHILOSOPHY
(By the PhilosOpher.)

(By the Philosopher.)
Funny thing about politeness
IL S the most easily put off of the
virtues and the most easily pick
ed up.
Caught without any of our 9TH
er virtues, say honesty, or truth
we q feel disgraced and keenly
inundated. But politness is a
garment that most OF us discard
at sometime or another and re,
allze, without a blush, that others
nave caught us so.
Not at home. not in the off;co
hot on the street, not at any part
ocular location are we so WILLING
to lay aside this most attractive
OF attributes.

woman at any time.

Thc telephone is the most abus-
ed OF modern convcnicnccs. Be-
low are some maxims when
might well be tackled to every
phone everywhere:
DO not allow yourself to get in
TO the habit Of long conversation
over the telephone.
People who do this lose all ncr-
rrptlon of the times when thew
may be annoying or DISTURBING
others.
Particularly in the case of partv
wires Is there call for considera-
ton. Someone else may urgently
desire to use the same trlephonu
over which you are gossiping.
DO not use the telephone of the
woman upon whom you are call
ing unless it is absolutely ncces-
sary.
Thoughtl"ssncss often makes \
convenience" Of friends in this
way. Your hostess may not wish
to take you into the part Of the
mousse IN which the telephone is
situated, or when frequently done
1t may prove a considerable ex-
pense to her.
DO not call up men in business
hours IT you can possibly help it.
DO not tell things you do not
wish known over the telephone
conversations are otter audible
to all of the persons in the room
with the person to whom you are
talking.
IT 1t is business conversation
1t IS well to think what you are
gong to say beforehand.
Orders or requests are frequent,
ly misunderstood through the hest
tatlon and changeableness of the
person giving them.
Finally temper justice with
mercy IN your treatment of the
young women operators who an
sWer your calls. Their business
is tedious and wearing one, and
1t IS almost impossible to be always
eagerly attentive.-The Fort
Worth Record.

Of PUNISHMENT
Italians Trying to Shell Trip0litan
Forts Without Hurting
Anybody

Rome, Oct 5-Bombardment was
commenced at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon upon the principal batteries
of Tripoli and was continued until sun
set The batteries responded to the
Italian fire. but without effect. The
bombardment viii be continued until
the destruction of the batteries has
been completed.
Great care was taken during the
bombardment not TO damage the city.
Only a lighthouse upon one of the bat
teries was destroyed.
Rear Admiral Aubrey. in command of
the Italian fleet at TripoH, reports that
in bombording that city. he spared all
the consulates, hospitals, monasteries,
churches and converts, aiming only at
the fortifications. Discrimination was
made with relative ease. as the range
of the Turkish cannon was SO short
that the Italian ships were enabled to
approach the city closely and take ac-
curate aim
The bombardment was protracted
because of the extreme care to avoid
useless bloodshed and to respect the
homes of noncomhatants and the
mosques.
Ships Not Touched
None of the Turks shots reached the
ships. Admiral Aubrey ordered that
the ships abstain from using guns of
the largest ca1ibre, as they were un-
necessary. From the battleships the
Officers could plainly see the effects of
their shells and realized that in a few
hours all the forts might be disman-
tied and their batteries sileneed This,
however, would be at the cost Of the
lives of all the defenders. a result
which the fleet was trying to avoid.
Scarcely any of the population re-
mains in Tripoli, the city having been
abandoned Immediately when the bonn
bardment began yesterday afternoon.

Last Sunday, the Feast of the Holy
Rosary of the Blessed Virgin. the Rev.
Father George Harding. authorized by
the Rt. Rev. Bishop VIM. ]. Kenny, D.
D., Roman Catholic Bishop of the dio-
cese of st. Augustine, presided at
largely attended and enthusiastic
meeting Of the Roman Catholics of this
and the surrounding districts.
When Father Harding opened the
meeting he requested all to kneel and
recited with much feeling the prayer,
"Veni Creator Spiritus,' the prayer to
the Holy Ghost, the Lords prayer. and
the angelieal salutation. He then re-
called to those present that it was
the custom of the Catholic church
throughout the world to recite every
day during the month of October ana
until All Souls Day, the End of No
vember, the Holy Rosary and strongly
recommended the practice to those
present.
Committees were then formed as
follows: First, the land committee ia
secure perfect title to the land on
which the church is to be erected, sec
ond. the building committee, to pre-
pare plans and estimates of material
required. When the title deed and the
plans are approved by the bishop. work

amounting to over one hundred dol

Father Harding then announced that
henceforth there would be mass every
Sunday in Summerfeld at $3.50 a. M,

on Rosary Sunday, the church would
be dedicated to Our Lady of the Holy
Rosary.
We appeal to our kind friends
throughout the state to aid us in this
important work undertaken for the
glory of God, and the salvation of
souls
