elder did-and he did a lot of it,
sounded so much like the thud of
inferior apples that no attention
was paid thereto when they arrived
up yonder. Also Pm afraid that
the elders example led lot of
young boys to believe that Christi
anity is only pretense and that
dishonesty is the best policy. Any
how, it IS quite evident that the
practice of putting the good apples
at the ends and the poor apples IN
the middle is applied to man
branches of "big business" today
and by elders, too"
And this is counted good business
and is practiced not only by elders,
but by a very large maj ority of
other "good busln ess men," not
only In the matter of packing apples,
but in all other lines W here there is
an inside and an outside. The best
side is always presented in front
and people have come TO know this
to be fact. This is the reason
why we always insist in being shown
what we buy. "Gool business"
methods have destroyed many a
mans faith in humanity.

Oakland Farm Notes

When you commence to plow for
the next crop don't try to ease your
conscience by skimming over the
ground with the plow and not half
doing the job. Do it upon honor.
Let every furrow be turned so well
that you can say when you look
back at it, 81 couldn't have done
that better if all | have got had
been at the stake" Be your own
Judge. Blue ribbons won from
your own judgment are worth more
than all the world will ever award
you.
Half the battle is won when we
get a good plow. What is a good
plow? l will tell you my notion of
it. A good plow is one that Is as
easy as possible on man and team,
that turns the furrow true every
time and that will work in every
spot and place. We can afford to
pay little more for a plow that
will do this. When you buy a
plow get one that looks well.
There is an inspiration in a fine
looking farm implement of any
kind. By this | don't mean a plow
that Is painted up fit to kill. Paint
never made a plow any better.
And yet a neat appearance does
count don't it? The only thing is
be sure that under the paint you
have superior tool. That is all.
Stand by yourself. The farmer
who has good opinion of himself
not "stuck up" not big headed,
but honest and self respectful will
command the esteme of the world.
The man who constantly looks
on the dark side of things is about
as sensible as a COW that tries to
take comfort on the windward side
of a board fence in a blizzard.
When l was a boy | kept the
words, optimist and pessimist, sep
Grated by remembering that the
latter was a pest.
If you don't believe him to be
one ask your wife.
If a man openly states he is a
pessimist | wonder If there is not
something wrong with his mind.
| guess there Is too. 1t is a disease
that seems almost impossible to
cure after it becomes chronic. II
must be prevented by trying to see
the bright side of things.
If you ever stored apples or pota.
toes you notice how often that the
sound one touching the rotten one
was also spelling. Well so it is
with mans mind. A wrong
thought harbored there soon spoils
the whole thinking system. Don't
you think it would be good thing
if we could only go over oar minds
and sort them like we do the apples
and potatoes?
People who are always getting
slighted and are continually having
their feelings hurt are another class
whose thoughts need a careful
sorting. Healthy minded people
are not that way.
Here IS an example which too
often happens in all neighbors
which is pure and simple foolish
ness. Two neighbors both of whom
are perhaps pretty fair sort Of mel
at some time get into some kind oI
trouble which they do not try tc
adjust and it lasts for months anc
perhaps years between them. Then
dislike and mistrust of one anothl
has so poisoned their ether thought,
that they think everything the othtI
Pocahontas star herald., 1912-02-02

this strikes you and sort the mind
out and see if you don't feel better.
Don't be a pessimest or pest.

SERVICES TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
RENDERED BY EPPES TUCKER

II may not be generally known
that Mr. Eppes Tucker. Jr., the can
didate for prosecuting attorney. has
rendered great service to the cause
of public schools. but it is true that
the people of Polk county are indebt-
ed to him, as also are the people OF
the entire state.
In 1910 several municipal c0rpor-
atiOns in Florida voted an issue of
bonds for the purpOse OF building
school hons..s which were needed
badly; bu. the bonds could hot be
sold because il was hot certain that
they were constitutional Their le-
gality had to be tested by proper pro-
ceedings in the Supreme Court. 1t
was then that Mr.. Tucker. with the
deep interest in our public schools
that he has always shown, volunteer
ed his services free Of charge to d.
the work.
The Supreme Court decided that
such bonds were not legal according
to our constitution. This, however,
was the point that all parties con-
cerned wished to settle in order that
the constitution might be amended.
The case resulted in bringing about
an act of the Legislature submitting
constitutional amendment to be
voted upon this year providing thai
municipalities may issue bonds for
school purposes.
The city Of Lakeland had voted
an issue of $4,000 bonds for the
purpose of building school house,
and Mr.. Tucker was trying to sus-
tain this bond issue.
Mr.. Tucker was raised in Polk
county and at all times had had the
interest OF the people and the welfare
CT its institutions at heart.
