The Clearwater Sun begirts itself
with more scalps that it is entitled
to. The boys and girls are still
selling those beautiful souvenir
coins to give Florida chance at the
San Francisco exposition and it is
months too early to say that that
plan is a failure. AS for the Eustis
wonder road, the lion of the Lake
Region is still roaring his defiance
and dead lions don't roar. 1t is mis-
taken policy to cook rabbits before
they are caught, and equally mis-
taken to scalp enemies before they
are captured. Nevertheless Powell is
a pretty good warrior; has an i'm
pressive warwhoop, and his scalping
knife carries fine edge. But be
careful how you use it, old man, for
people have been known to cut them
selves with their own razors when
they flourish them too "promiscuous-
like"

DON'T TAKE WRONG MEDICINE

If your liver gets lazy you need
a liver tonic, not merely a laxative
for the bowels. Many people take a
simple laxative when the liver gets
sluggish rather than take calomel,
which they know to be dangerous
But mere laxative will not start a
sluggish liver. What is needed is a
tonic that will liven up the liver
without forcing you to stay at home
and lose day from your work.
You have such a tonic in Dodson' s
Liver Tone. Dodson's Liver Tone
is all that is claimed for it because
the druggists who sell it agree to
hand back the money with smile,
to any person not satisfied with the
relief Dodson's gives.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a vegetable
liquid with very pleasant taste and
is a prompt and reliable remedy for
constipation, biliousness, sour stom-
ach and torpid liver.
Lake Pharmacy give it their per-
sonal guarantee. Large bottle of
Dodsons Liver Tone is only so cents.
For children or grown people it is
the ideal medicine. Try it on the
guarantee.

Georgia has produced many dis
tinguished men from colonial times
down to now, but tested by the
standards of modern popularity we
suspect that if the question were put
to vote in that State the answer
would be by large majority that
Ty Cobb, the peerless batsman and
George Stallings, the masterful and
conquering manager of the Boston
Braves, were good old GeOrgia's two
greatest sons. As baseball fan we
might see where the verdict was
right; as critical student of history
we might insist that Henry Grady,
Alex Stephens, Ben Hill, DR.. Craw-
ford Long and few others were per-
haps entitled to equal prominence in
Georgia's pantheon. But not so, for
Ty Cobb stands supreme, superlative,
without rival, a lone figure on the
highest peak of fame, as proved by
the cold figures of the batting aver
ages, and that can be said of none
of the rest. What Emerson wrote
about the fellow who made a better
rat-trap than all the others and the
world making beaten track to his
door, fits the case of Tyrus and puts
Grady ct al. distinctly in seconu
place.

Straub, of the St. Petersburg
Times, believes in doing things as
well rs saying them. He was fore
man of the grand jury that indicted
the whole board of commissioners of
Pinellas county for malfeasance in
office. But alack and alas! The
cruel irony of fate got in it's WORK
and the St. Petersburg Independent,
rival and contemporary OF Straub's
own wide-awake sheet, was the first
to give the sensational news of the
indictments to the world. They are
now fussing over the ethics of the

An Atlanta dispatch of yesterday
says that steps are being taken to
call a meeting to devise means to in
duce Southern farmers to raise all
their food stuff at home, as near as
possible, so that none of the money
for their cotton need be appropriated
in that direction. We wish the pro-
moters of this plan all the good luck
in the world, but as pretty nearly ev-
cry paper in the South has been
preaching that very doctrine for the
last forty years, it can hardly be
called new one and if its merits
haven't seeped in and borne fruit by
this time it is doubtful if any meet
ing such as the one suggested can
help the case. AS a matter of fact
thousands and thousands of southern
farmers have been raising their own
foodstuff right along, for there are
many wise farmers in this section
who brought that policy down from
anti-bellum days and still hold to it.
Those who are under the hypnotic
spell of cotton will have to be Jared
awake by some louder noise than
the resolutions passed at a meeting,
and if the thunders of war that
shuts off half their market won't
arouse them, "Ephraim is joined to
his idols-let him alone" would
seem to be the only text applicable
to their case. Agricultural educa-
ton rarely comes from these spora-
die meetings with their historical
resolutions.

The New York Herald felicitates

The New York Herald felicitates
itself with the idea that the war in
Europe will bring thousands of win
ter tourists to that city who have
heretofore gone to Paris and other
continental resorts. Why anyone
with the price in his pocket should
go to New York in search of desir-
able place to spend the cold months
when the Pullmans are running
through to Florida everyday is hard
to understand. The New York win
ter climate is not thing to be
proud of. Winter tourists are hunt
ing for climate, not for Broadway
bright lights.

When cute little controversy
pitched on firm but amiable lines
reaches the really amusing" stage
to one of the participants thereto, it
is generally a sign that the party

refuge in his sarcasm. How often
must we tell Powell, of the Clear

charged him with wanting to spend
S50,O00,000 for brick roads in Flor

roads system, all the same, and it
will cost that much extended over

THE DIFFERENCE

Did you ever take cat up by the
tail,
And whirl him round and round,
And hurl him out into the air.
Out into space profound;
He through the yielding atmosphere
Will many whirl complete;
But when he strikes upon the ground
He will land upon his feet.
Fate takes a man just like cat
And with more force than grace,
1t whirls him wiggling round and
round,
And hurls him into space.
And those that fall upon the back
Or land upon the head,
Fate let's them lie there, where they
fell;
They're sure as good as dead.
But some there be that, like the cat,
Whirl round and round and round,
And go gyrating off through space
Until they strike the ground;
But when at last the ground they
reach
You'll always find them right side
They land upon their feet.
And such a man walks off erect,
Triumphant and elate,
And, with courage in his heart,
He shakes his fist at fate.
Then Fate with benignant smile
Upon it's face outspread,
Puts forth it's soft caressins hand
And pats him on the head.
And for that day he is Fate's darl-
ing;
His triumph is complete;
Fate loves the man who whirls and
whirls,
But lands upon his feet.
That man whateer his ups and
downs,
Is never wholly spurned,
Whose perpendicularity
Is never overturned.

it will pour so much wealth into the

That "Nigger in the Woodpile.'

The Valley County News which
processes itself to be a nom-partistn
newspaper and yet vigorously sup
ports the Bul!.M oosers. let out a long
loud wall in it's last issue over the
defeat of it's pet candidates. Among
it's walls, the News wants to know
why Dr. e.. W. Clay polled SO much
heavier a vote than did other camdi-
dates in this section. That's easy.
Because in all business and pnbli c
deals of every description, Clay has
always proven that he is scrupulonsly
honest, and that the people will get
a strictly square from him. Further
more, he always keeps his promises,
which can not be said Of most candi-
dates for office. BulI-Moose platforms
have proven to be fine things to crate
from, but after election the planks
are usually split into kindling to
burn up prediction pledges. The
News also comes along with the
piratical suggestion that many of the
votes coming from the vicinity of
Malta should be thrown out. as they
charge-without attempting to bring
proof-that the election returns from
outlying districts were tempered
with. Evidently the Sherlock Holmes
Of the News has deducted q mystery
from h!s fevered imagination that
will explain the Bullmoosers' defeat.
These are grave charges to bring
against election officials, and without
proof, they look mighty thin. Trying
to discredit appointees for public
office by throwing mud after election
because their own favorites fell by
the wayside should merit very little
attention from fair-minded people.

$4,000 loan FOR
WOMEN'S COLLEGE
IS NOW ASSURED

Plans for the borrowing of $4,000 to
be used in equipping the Women's Col
lcge of Delaware were eliminated this
morning at a meeting Of the Board Of
Trustees of Delaware College, held at
the Hotel DUPONT this morning. The
loan has been arranged for by Governor
Miller and will be repaid in three pay
ments, notes for which will be signed
and will fall due January 10, 1918, 1916
and 1917, at an interest rate Of and
4-l0 per cent.
The money will be loaned from the
Pennsylvania Railroad relief fund. The
board of trustees adopted resolutions
providing for the loan, and after the
loan has been eliminated it will be
handed over to the trustees of the
Women's College of Delaware.
Under a recent act of Legislature the
state will pay over to the trustees Of
Delaware College the sum of $4,000
annually for the years of 1915, 1916 and
1917 and the notes will be paid from
these sums.
DR.. Mitchell, the new president Of
Delaware College, attended the meeting
and received a warm welcome from the
trustees. He responded with a brief
but enthusiasts address
