THE NAVY YARD ROAD

The recent rains over the large,
rart of Polk county showed more
conclusively than any other one
thing the need for permanent high
ways of the best type. Folks roads
are noted, such as we possess. to be
amongst the best in the State. vet a
heavy rainfall. of forty-eight hours
duration soon plays havoc with
them
I'm a recent talk with a travelin g
man from the Pensacola neighbor-
mood, that gentleman called after
ton to a piece of road-building-
some ten or twelve years old. a few
miles long, costing something like
eighteen or twenty thousand dol
lars per mile, and over which unus
ual heavy traffic passed to the gov
eminent reservation at the navy
yard. This road had not had any
repair work done on it for some
years and the speaker stated that
II was In as good a. state of repair
as when put down.
This Pensacola road was built by
the federal government and at the
price, which a county can hardly un-
dertake to build, it was cheap.
Lasting all these years and without
The usual cost of upkeep, it has un-
doubtedly paid a handsome dividend
to its builders and to those who use
It. 1t would be q grand thing if the '
state and counties could combine !
md build and maintain such roads
md of such character. In the long
'un the taxpayer, who always "hoI-
ers" about the enormous burden of
hese taxes would pay less proper
ionately than he does now and have
omething more to show for his
money than his tax receipts.-Mul-

DARING HOLD-Up ON
JAX ROAD IS REPORTED

st. Augustine, Aug. ia dar-
ing hold-up on the Jacksonville
highway in Duval county a few
miles south of Jacksonville was re-
ported by party Of autoists arriv-
ing in st. Augustine early Friday
en- route to Sanford in an Overland
car. In the party were Fl. ]. Ogles-
by. L. F. Rice and Percy Rice.
They reported that they were
held up at the point of guns at the
beginning of the brick road a few
miles south of Jacksonville and
forced to give up their valuables,
they being unarmed. They were
able to see the face of but one of
the men, and he was a negro. A
peculiar fact was that he was
dressed in uniform, apparently
that of police officer. Tt happened
that they didn't have much money
along so that their cash loss totalled
only about fifteen dollars. But they
gave up gold watch and fob and
some valuable papers.

(By Associated Press. !

London, Aug. 16.-Prcposafs to
establish a decimal system of coin
age in Great Britain are again re-
ceiving attention in the newspapers.
The latest advocates are soldiers re-
turning from France who have be-
come accustomed to the decimal sys-
tenn in use there, and have quickly
recognized its advantage.
The proposal most generally en-
dorsed in England is that the far
thing be made the basis of the new
system. There is already a coin of
this denomination in use in Eng
land, its value being one-fourth of a
penny, or about half of an American
cent. 1t is proposed to make one
hundred farthings equal to one flor
in (the common two-shilling piece
of English coinage. equivalent to so
cents American). This involves only
trifiing change from the present
system. whereby 80 farthings make
one form.
Under the proposed system the
units Of money would be:
100 farthings make one form:
10 forms make one pound.
The shilling would thus become
an intermediate coin, representing
so farthines, and the six-pence
similar intermediate coin. represent
ng 25 farthings.

Ihen the fighting stopped in this
quarter. Large numbers of the
picked troops of the German empire
were shifted to the other battle

nearly year old that the Germans
and Austrians were able to win a
series of apparently decisive sue
cesses in that region.
In the meantime Italy has came
into the war and the British armies
on the continent have been largely

no joint action among the allies. 1t
would seem that the golden hour for
the English and French to have
struck was when the Germans and
