THE IDEAL WOMAN

The centuries come and go, Gus
toms and manners change, yet we
ever have the woman question with
us. But in all the centuries we have
a picture of the ideal woman as writ
ten by King Soloman which never
fades. 1t is as true today as it was
ages ago when penned meath Judean
skies.
Her price is far above rubies The
heart of her husband doth safely trust
in her. She will do him good
and not evil all the days of her life"
Then follows accounts of her industry
and Judgment in providing for the
wants of her household. "She stretch
eth out her hand to the poor; yea,
she reacheth forth her hand to the
needy. Her husband is known in the
gates, when he stitch among the
elders of the land. She openeth
her mouth with wisdom; and in her
tongue is the law of kindness. She
hold and eateth not the bread of
idleness. Her children arise up, and
call her blessed; her husband also
and he praiseth her. A woman
that feareth the Lord, she shall be
praised. Let her own works
praise her in the gates
Can any modern woman desire a
broader scope for the exercise of
mind and heart than the "virtuous"
woman pictured here? When she
seeks broader, she loses her woman
Illness and becomes mere imitator
an imitator of masculine attributes
she does not possess.-Gonzales Tex

o! you GROcERYMAN!

On the first of every month you get
the grocer's awful bill
On a half yard of paper. that it
never fails to fill.
And fills you with longing to swear
out larceny charge
Against the grocer whom you know,
should never be left at large.
On that bill they've charged you eggs
at seven cents apiece,
For a barrel or two of nutmegs and
a ton or more of cheese,
Canned goods by the wagon-load,
enough to fill a ship,
And not a single purchase have
they never thought to skip.
You think, yourself that you have
lived on the verge of sheer
starvation,
But from that bill it seems you've
bought, most everything in
creation.
You're willing to bet a house and lot,
you didn't get half of it all,
But when you think it over, there S
not a purchase you can't recall
mere dill OCSdIl Vi uOldSSSS, anu CdL

No credit for the ham returned; itt.
charged again instead;
Garden truck and vegetables that
would fill city lot,
And a half hundred other things
you don't know why you got
Then you figure up your assets and
liabilities too,
Find you're nearly bankrupt, and it
makes you awful blue.
But you draw a check for all you've
got, and overdraw a dime,
And swear to leave off eating for
ten days at time;
And when the grocer takes your
check, like a pirate collecting
his loot,
He adds insult to injury, and hands

ocALA AND SILVER SPRINGS

The editor spent last Sunday in
Ocala and in the absence of the pas
tor occupied the Methodist pulpit,
both morning and evening. At the
evening hour there was a union SER
vice in which the pastors of the Pres
byterian and Christian churches took
part. 1t is good and pleasant for
churches as we'll as individuals to
dwell together in unity We trust
that good will result from our labors
together.
Our church is making progress in
Ocala along both material and spirit
ual lines. Additions are frequently
reported by letter and on profession
of faith, and the attendance on the
ordinances of the church is good.
The erection of a much needed par
sonage has been one of the achieve
ments of the year. This work was
done at a cost of nearly 100000 and
the expense has been cheerfully met
by a generous congregation.
Ocala is a beautiful and progressive
town and is enjoying a substantial
growth. Many handsome residences
and substantial business houses are
in process of erection and there are
evidences of prosperity on every
hand.
Through the delightful courtesy of
DR.. and Mrs. Walter Hood, the editor
and the wife of the pastor were given
an auto trip to Silver Springs and a
launch ride for several miles down
this beautiful stream. With a glass
bottom boat, drifting over these deep
but transparent waters the scenic dis
play is perfect. The fact is small OBJ
jects beneath sixty feet of water are
as visible as if only a few inches
away, especially when seen through
the bottom of the boat. which appar-
emily magnifies. AS the bed of the
river is covered with a great variety
or snlnnlng OBJECTS, the movement OF
the waters and oscillations of the
boat conspire to give Kaleidoscope
effect that is really bewitching. The
editor and the Mistress of the
Manse" will recall with pleasure in
years tocome this delightful outing
and the courtsey of Doctor and Mrs.
Hood, that made it possible.
The Advocate announcement was
kindly received and we are expect
ing a large list of new subscribers
from the beautiful city of Ocala. The
pastor who is taking a needful rest
in Tampa and at Green Springs,
/ hopes to be entirely we'll in a week
or two and return to his charge

LIGHT FROM PINcHoT

Doubtless one reason that Clifford
Pinchot always throws light on sub
ject is that he knows about what he
is speaking or writing.
And doubtless the reason Mr.. Pin
chot knows all about the peoples in
terests in the Alaskan controversies
is that he Is constantly looking for
facts which are favorable to the peo-
pie.
Take, for illustration, Pinchot's
criticism of the presidents defense of
his Controller Bay action. This ge-
MUS of conservation discloses what
the presidents message did not dis
close-that it wasn't necessary to
give away title to the terminal lands
in order to get a railroad built by
either private capital or public capt.
tai.
Mr. Pinchot says:
The very fact that those lands
were in a national forest made them
fully and promptly available, under
lease, for every proper use, yet held
them subject to governmental super
vision and control
1t is not unlikely that this root of
the matter was not disclosed by Mr.
Taft for the simple reason that Mr..
Taft hiYncolf WOO NOT odv;eod ~ -
The president has not surrounded
himself by advisers who, like Clifford
Pinchot, are trying to find out things
favorable to the people. They seem
to see objections or difficulties in the
way of protecting the public interests
rather than seeing the way
Mr.. Pinchot speaks with the voice
of the American people when he
says:
The president is right when he
says that what Alaska needs is de-
velopment. but no legitimate develop
ment of the harbor front on Controll-
er Bay has been and can be proposed
that could not proceed as we'll and as
rapidly under suitable lease on gov
eminent land as on private land. So
long as these terminal lands remain
ed in government ownership no one
could monopolize the harbors. The
moment any of them passed into pri-
vate hands the danger of monopoly
began. The fact remains, and the
public will not forget, that before the
executive order of October %, Con-
troller Bay was both available for de-
velopment and safe against monop-
oily. Now it is no longer safe. This
is abundantly proved, not only by the
general history of commercial consol-
idation, but in particular by what the
n-Guggenheim syndicate al
ready has done in destroying or alb
sorbing possible competitors. Kan
