TRUST IN GOD.

There is no unbelief:
Whoever plants a seed beneath the
sod,
And waits to see it push away the
clod.
He trusts in God.
Whoever says when clouds are in
the sky.
BE patient. heart, light breaketh
by and by"
He trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees, meath winters field
of snow,
The silent harvest of the future
grow.
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to
sleep,
Content to lock each sense in SUM
Der deep,
Knows God will keep.
Whoever says tomorrow" "the I'M
known"
"The future" 49, Trusts unto that
Power alone,
He dares disown.
The heart that looks on when the
eyends close,
And dares to live when life has only
woes,
Gods comfort knows
There is no unbelief
And still by day and night, uncon-
sciously,
The heart lives by the faith the lips
decry,
God knoweth why

When we'll known people right

BUILDING ROADS.

The system that is generally
in vogue in Florida is to have a
county divided up into commits
sioner's districts, and each COM
missioner is given certain por-
ton of the road funds, and the
result has been a patch of roads
here and patch there, and gen.
orally radiating from the coun-
'ty seat.
This road question, when
properly settled and settled on
broad lines and without petty
local claims or demands will do
more for the upbuilding of Flor
ida than any other one thing.
We have the climate, and no.
state in the Union can compare
with it, and with good roads
there will come thousands upon
thousands of people with their
touring cars. These people all
invest when they get the habit
of coming and the homes will be
of such character that property
values will rapidly increase, and
our taxes will be sufficient to
put good roads in every section
of the land of sunshine.
Let's get some system into
this road business. Appoint a
committee OF representative
Jacksonville, Tampa, Ocala,
/ Lakeland. Orlando and Kissim-
NEE business men. perhaps bus
mess men from other sections
and let them go over the route
from Jacksonville to Tampa and
make recommendation for con-
meeting links.
Less than one million dollars
will make these connections, and
put the whole in splendid shape,
and in one year the fact that it
exists will bring into the state
more than its entire cost.-Flor-
ida Grower. IL

ADJUSTMENTS

How would you like to be invited
to the famous Winter Palace at st.

waltz across the white and gold floor
of the dazzling ballroom to the
strains of an enhancing Russian
waltz? Eh-what did you say-say!
Then ramble down to the uditor

Red Widow and you can see it all

WHAT THE WAR IS DOING
FOR THE SOUTH.

As the European war gained
Roadway last fall, and the South
realized that the demand for her
large crop of cotton would be
cut short, she was fairly sicken-
ed at the outlook. With food-
stuffs high, the all-cotton FARM
er found himself in sore straits.
But the South has quit whining
and has set out to help herself
on the principle that God helps
those who help themselves"
Take Mississippi for example,
Thousands of acres of grain are
now growing, sown to lespe-
deza which will come on and
make hay crop after the grain
is harvested. Other thousands
of acres will be planted to corn

while it is preposterous to think of
any foreign foe attacking us, and
there isn't the slightest danger of

no president ever had two more
strenuous years, Lincoln excepted
or better met the heavy responsible
ties of his station He commands
the respect of his own country and
the world, and calm, self poised, I'm
moved by the clamor of weaklings
or the malignant criticism of politi-
cal foes praying for his admins =
tration to be a failure. he has held
the helm with steady hand and guild
ed the nation wisely and safely
while half the world was at war
and Mexico was in flames alongside
of us.
And during those two years his
party. inspired by his leadership,
has enacted more great constructive
Legislation than the country had
known for thirty years and has re
deemed every promise made in the
Democratic platform. The govern
ment was never more honestly and
efficiently administered in all its de
partments nor the war on recog-
nized abuses, from the trusts down,
more vigorously prosecuted.
A war of unparalleled magnitude
has seriously hurt our commerce and
industries, and, while there are
many men out Of work In conse !
quence, time and again under Re-
publican administrations the situa-
tion has been worse, and with no
world war to furnish reason for it.
Today at the halfway post, Presi-
dent Wilson and his party can look
back with pride and satisfaction
over two years of Democratic ad-
ministration of the government, for
every prediction of its enemies has
failed, and every promise of its
friends redeemed so far as human
wisdom may control human affairs.

he got something besides the finest

new name for tickling your funny
