"Roney's Boys" programs show re-
remarkable growth in public musical
taste in the past twenty years, Each

of the better class, the programs have
reached a higher plane with each re-
curing season, and have welded de-
cided educational influence throughout
the country.
With absolutely nothing 10 common
with the trashy illusions Of the vaude-

highest order of music and the most
finished and artistic work possible TO
attain with talented boys. 1t has car
we'd out a niche of its own, stands in
class by itself in which there is no Sec

To His Honor Minor S. Jones Judge of

To His Honor Minor S. Jones Judge of
the Seventh Judicial Circuit, County
of ST. Lucie, Florida:
In addition to the several indictments
presented to the court we beg to make
this general presentment concerning
the general affairs of the county:
The public buildings were found to
be in excellent condition, the grounds
in neat order and no repairs seemed to
be needed.
The roads are in very bad order, but
we believe the county commissioners
are doing all they can with the funds
available,
The High School grounds were Wis
tied and no cause for complaint In the
outbuildings was found.
1t has been great embarrassment to
the grand jury that the justices of the
peace do not promptly send in their
papers of the various cases that come
into their hands, and we earnestly re-
commend that they be prompt in the
performance of their business.
The general finances of the connty
we find to be in fair condition with the
exception of the road and bridge fund,
but these deficiencies are made up by
the good balances carried by the other
funds.
II was also recommended by ma
jority of the jury that the legislature
be asked to abolish the county court.
We thank His Honor Judge Jones
for the courtesies shown US, and for the
unfailing good nature and kindness of
States Attorney John G. Jones.

LENTEN SEASON BEGAN MARCH I
Easter Sunday this Year Comes
On April 18th.
,ent began Wednesday last.

Lent began Wednesday last.
How Ash Wednesday and the Leuten
season are reconed seems to be a mys-
terry to many people. Lent is always
reckoned from Easter Sunday, but TO
many people this is equally mysterious.
Easter Sunday is always the first Sun
day after the first full moon after the
Spring equinox, March Il. If the full
moon is on Sunday, Easter is the Sun
day following, Easter comes April Is
this year.
Lent always is forty days before Eas-
ter. There usually are six Sundays in
teryening, but they are not counted in
the forty days. This makes Lent al
ways begin on Ash Wednesday. 1t
always is preceded by Shrove Tuesday,
which is the last day before Lent.
Lent is the Christian season of OBJ
serving the forty days fast of our Sa-
vior in the Wilderness, and consequent
ly the Church expects its members. at
least in small way, to follow the ex-
ample of the Christ. All dances and
other forms of amusement are for
sworn. On Wednesdays and Fridays
the members can eat no flesh of animals
and on all otner days in Lent flesh is
eaten only once day, Eggs and fish
can be eaten at any time. Some aged
and infirm persons are exempt.
The Episcopal churches observe Lent
but do not dictate any certain method,
that being left to the mood and tenn
perature Of the lperson. 1t is left, in
fact to the dictates OF the PERSONS con-
science.
