CONCERNING HOES-GARDEN
AND SOME OTHER KINDS


This story concerns grubbing hoes
Some people have to use erubbing
hoes in order to earn grub, hence the
name. The ordinary individual will
put up with mighty slim grub when
he is compelled to earn it in that
way.
The late lamented William II.
Shakespeare, who. it will be remem-
bered, was such popular writer and
syndicate contributor a couple of
hundred years or so ago. was greatly
addicted to the use of the word "ho."
At one place in his book he says.
what noise is this, hO?" clearly in
dicating that he had charge of
gang of man and had difficulty in
keeping them at work. Another place
he becomes even more emphatic and
he cries out. "ho, no, no. Williams,
towards" and SO forth. The OrthOg-
raphy of the word has changed some
what since Col. Shakespeare time,
but Brandcr Matthews told your cor
respondent one day that there was no
doabt he meant the popular south
Florida implement.
Sad Story From Xissimmee.
The hoe, ordinarily. and in its
cOmmonest form, consists of thin
blade more or less dull. but always
dull, set transversely In the end of 4
long rod or handle. 1t Is used for
digging out weeds and loosening up
the earth around plants and flowers.
A sad story comes from Kissimmee.

mains to cover the entire Atlantic
seaboard from Maine to Florida, to
extend into the virgin forests of the
Appalachian, to cover the vast areas
to the Mississippi. Nor did they stop
there, for we see the Saxon in can
vass-covered wagon slowly but surely
advancing across the undulating
plains of the west, struggling among
the highest peaks of the Rockies,
conquering the sun-blistered desert,
and at the same time treading upon
the SHOWS of a thousand winters in
the frozen Arctic; finally nothing re-

bow to his irresistible conquest.
At last we have a nation founded
upon the ideals of the Saxon, the glo-
rious United States, whose great
ness we would fain believe has been
created by us and our modern civili-
zation, but this idea is erroneous. We
are deceived by external glitter and
gilt, we fail to see that credit must
be placed where credit is due, upon
the ideals upon which our govern
ment is based, ideals of freedom, Sax
on ideals and the Saxon. We say now
the Saxon spirit has consumed itself,
that there are mo more worlds to
conquer" But is this fact? For
reply, read the current news of the
times. But yesterday Alaska was ac-
Quired by the hands of the Slav, the
Philippines were changed from Ro-
man provinces to Saxon. The north
and south poles, so long peering at
the futile attempts of man have dis
closed their hiding places to Saxons;
the Orient, practically unknown fifty
years ago, is awakening with the
fresh virile strength of the Saxon.
His mind is the ruling genius in. all
affairs.
What race has led in annihilating
time by means of the steamboat, rail-
road, telephone, and telegraph? ?
Where does the spirit which longs to
conquer the air derive it's source?
When, then, shall this movement end?
know only this: That the Anglo
Saxon is the type of citizenship that
wrought out this nation, that has
safely guided it through the trials
and vicissitudes of more than a hun
dred years, that has been the main
stay in the past and will be its glory
in the future.

COMMISSIONER PETTEwAY
URGED TO WRITE

To the Voters of District No. 2: I
noticed in last weeks issue of the two
leading newspapers of the county, viz:
Star and Banner, printed article
written by one of our most enthusiast
ic and enterprising citizens, who as
serts, or rather claims, that the county
commissioners and most especially
myself have not only miscellaneously
but Illegally spent and utilized the
county road funds for the benefit of
special and home routes. Please allow
me to say that if 1 have ever okayed
any bill which has been misappro-
priated, l was then and am now ignor-
ant of the fact.
Since taking my place as a member
OF your honorable board, l have tried
at all times and under all circum-
stances to discharge my duty in a
friendly and business-like manner, do
ing at all times such things as l
thought would be benefit to the most
If not all the people of the county.
The first article relates TO the ex-
penditures of district No. for four
months preceding the article. This
statement is practically correct, how
ever, / wish to say that the amount
referred to as spent on the Dunnellon
road has been spent solely for the pur-
pose of building hard road. There has
not been a dollar spent in the rural
routes for the Dunnellon or on Camp
lizard district in eight months.
On January 1st, of this year, the
commissioners made up what they
termed a budget. setting aside the
amount which each man was to snend
on the rural routes of his district
this year; and knowing that the coun-
ty convicts have been put on the Dun
Mellon road, felt that it was not Just
fair for us to have both, hence. what

A FORTUNATE YOUNG MAN

On Monday last Surrogate Fowler
appointed Mr. A. Perry Osborn spe-
cial guardian of Miss Ava Alice Mu.
riel Astor, daughter of the late John
Jacob Astor by his first wife.
Mr.. Osborn is young and brilliant
member of the New York bar, serving
with the Hon. John c. Spooner, for
merly United States senator, of the
firm of Spooner & Cotton, of the
Bankers Trust Company building, "a
Wall street. He was formerly in the
office of the Hon. Henry L. Stimson.
He is a son of Professor Henry Fair
field Osborn, president of the Ameri-
can Institute of Natural History. Mr.
Osborn is about twenty-eight years OF
age, and was graduated from the
academic department of Princeton
University in 1905 and from Harvard
Law School in 1909. He was chosen,
Surrogate Fowler says, because of the
great confidence which he has in
Mr.. Osborn's ability and because of
his previous experience in such mat
ters.
1t is felt by all who are regarded as
competent critics of such matters
that Mr.. Osborn will prove to be the
right man in the right place. He will
act only until such time as the will
shall be probated. His duties will
then cease automatically.-Fin

You men and women who can't

ache, coated tongue, foul taste and
foul breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are
bilious, nervous and upset bothered
with sick, gassy, dsordered stom-

Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil? This
is important.
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse and regulate the stomach, re-
move the sour, undigested and fer

the excess bile from the liver and
carry out OF the system all the con-
stipated waste matter and poison in
the intestines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning-a 10-cent box
from any drug store will keep your

Don't forget the children. They love
