FREAK LEGISLATION

The Ell Paso (Tex.) Times enum-
crates sadly a few recent examples
Of legislative folly in its own and
other States:
Minnesota-Law to prohibit the
catching of frogs.
Kansas-Law to prohibit the use
of face powder, hair dye, or bleach,
the piercing of ears and wearing of
earrings.
Colorado-Laws to compel chick
ems to go to roost before z p. m.
daily; that bulls driven along the
roads at night shall wear lights.
Massachusetts to pay
annual tax of SIS. Prohibiting the
wearing of whiskers by doctors and
dentists.
Nebraska-Laws compelling the
National Guard to do ninety days
work each year on the roads and
bridges of the State. Requiring
dealers in stock food to pay a license
of SIS per annum-
Texas-Compelling churchgoers to
leave their artillery on the outside
of the church buildings.

RESOLUTIONS OF POLK
COUNTY NORMAL

Whereas, we have enjoyed the
splendid hospitality which has been
extended by the good people of Fort
Meade during the one month of the
Normal.
| Whereas, We feel that we shall go
away from this Normal better pre-
pared to meet the great difficulties
and responsibilities that be in the
pathway of the teacher.
] Further, we feel that the action of
the County Board of Education, in
1 thus providing means. of training
. to the teachers of the county, is to
be commended.
Whereas, we feel that the success
of this training is due to the untir-
ing efforts of our proficient instruc-
tors, Prof. c. NJ. Jones, Superintend-
ent of City Schools of Lakeland, and
Prof. R. NJ. Sealey, Superintendent
of City Schools of Fort Myers.
Whereas, We feel that recognition
is due to Miss Mable Hawk and Mr..
C. L. Durrance for musical services
rendered in chapel exercises during
this Normal.
Therefore. be it resolved:
First--That We most heartily ex-
tend to the citizens of Fort Meade
our sincere appreciation of the royal
reception which they have given us.
Second-That we fully appreciate
the manifest wisdom of the County
Board of Education in it's persistent
efforts to better school conditions
throughput the cunty.
Third-That we by unanimous
vote extend to Professors Jones and
Sealey our heartfelt thanks and ap-
probation for the able instruction
which they have given this student
body, whereby the rising generation
may be benefited.
Fourth-That we extend a vote of
thanks to Miss Hawk and Mr.. Dur
rance for their gracious esrvices.
Be it finally resolved, that the
Polk County Normal is step for
ward in the educational progress of
the county and that we heartily con-
cur in expressing the hope that this
Normal is but the beginning of our
county's educational awakening.
Respectfully submitted,
J. w. GIBBONS, Chairman.

NEXT SCHOOL EXAMINA.
TON ON SEPT. I

Several teachers have asked me
about teaching summer schools in
Lakeland The same regulation
that we have always had relative to
summer schools is still in force. An
examination was held in the High
school building last Saturday for
those who desired to remove a con-
dition. The next examination will
be held Sept. 7, 1915, by me and a
grading committee for the purpose
of ascertaining whether a pupil is
entitled to have his condition re-
moved. Also, all new pupils will be
classified at that time. No pupil
will be promoted or classified before
that time. CHAS. M. JONES,
superintendent

NEW RULE FOR
CHECKING BAGGAGE

Perilous times are ahead for the
railway baggage agents and hurried
travellers who attempt to buy their
tickets, check their baggage under
the new requirements, and catch
their train-unless the latter secure
a place at the head of the waiting
line at the baggage room window
and has plenty of time to wait and
have the declaration of value" rul-
ing explained to them.
Baggage agents generally see
nothing but gloom ahead. Travel
ers with baggage will have their say
on and after today, when the Cum
minis amendment to the Interstate
Commerce act is effective. The rail-
roads slogan will be, Check 1t
early"
Beginning today the railroads
will not accept for interstate trans
portation any baggage, the contents
of which are hidden from view by
wrappings, boxing or other means,
unless the passenger declares in
writing the time of checking, the
value thereof In case of loss and
damage, and upon investigation it is
found that the passenger had un-
der-estimated or over-estimated the
value of his baggage, he is liable to
prosecution for misdemeanor.
Trunks or other baggage not ex-
ceeding $50 pounds in weight are
now carried free with the tickets OF
the carrier assum-
ing liability for loss or damage up
to the amount of 500. Hereafter,
tead of assuming the unlimited
liability, as permitted under the
Cummins amendment, the railroads
accept the alternative and assume
the 500 liability on each piece of
baggage checked and insure the pas
senger for all over that amount on
a basis of ten cents per 500 value.
or fraction thereof, as laid down by
the Interstate Commission.
Passengers who present their bag
gage to be checked will be handed
a printed form in the black spaces
of which they will write the declara-
tion of value, stating the number or
numbers of baggage check or checks,
the cash value of the property, and
name of shipper. which they will
return to the baggage agent. In
case of baggage left behind by the
shipper, any agent asking that same
be forwarded must certify in his let
ter or telegram that he has obtained
declaration of value and has collect
I'd any charges due thereon for ex-
less value. Friends, clerks, agents
Dr. servants of the passenger may
,heck baggage for him, but be care
ul to state in writing the correct
valuation.
1t will not be necessary to declare
'aluation of baggage for interstate
hipment.

ROSES
By George Fitch.

About this time of the year the
rose comes shyly out from the thorny
vine and begins to gladden. the heart
of the poet, the lover, the gardner,
the slug, the ant, the lady-bug and
| the starving worm.
Roses are one of the most import
ant parts of June. If it were not
for roses and commandments and
brides, June would be no better than
May or July. But in June ten mil
lion roses unfold in the warm air
and after the carworn citizen has in
hailed their fragrance on the way
home, he buys bouquet for his wife
for the first time in nine years and
stops thinking about business for a
few minutes.
The rose is one of THE most beau
tiful things that Nature does. Scien-
lists sit up nights trying to initiate
it's color. Lovers get large rewards
for comparing compilations with it;
perfumers catch it's scent in bottles
and sell it at high prices, and in
spite of all cynics, roses tied UP with
ribbons, with notes among the leaves
have won more brides than gold
bonds.
The rose is no exclusive flower. It
doesn't hide in Brazil like the or
child. 1t grows cheerfully and en-
Enthusiastically in the back yards of
homes among old tomato
cans and extinct newspapers. 1t
fiourishes among the cinders on the
railroad rights OF way and climbs up
over the doorway of the washerwom-
an. 1t is as easy to grow as the
burdock and the great proof of its
beauty is the fact that in spite of it's
cheapness and it's willingness to
grow, it is not called weed and cut |
out with a hoe.
Practical men scott at roses and |
do not see why time should be vast |
ed upon them. Yet these same prac-
tical men, when they have worked |
themselvs into a state of bilious ruin, |
climb aboard ship and go to Eng |
land where they wander down coun-
try roads, pass cottages, each Of |
which is framed in roses; and they
pay big prices for the privilege.
When country spends enough mon
ey in training roses over it's gates |
and walls it becomes very difficult
to keep the tourists away; and PEG.
pie are continually pestered with |
delighted strangers who wish to buy
their homes away from them and sit |
among the roses which they have
been too lazy to plant at home.
To plant rose bush is to perform
an act of simple kindness to a thous-
and eyes. We are not kind enough
to our poor old eyes in America. We
fill our ears full of sweet sounds and
tell our eyes to get along and pick
up what pleasure they can from a
cigarette advertisement on bill
board.

1t wouldn't surprise us if, one Of
these days, the Tampa Times, which
is just busting hame-string in it's
frantic search for "big, strong
man" for the governors chair,
should look around it's own sanctum
and exclaim "Ecce, Homo!" We
know the idea has never occurred to
the Times, and it will be surprised
beyond measure to find SO close at
hand what it's been looking for-but
such things do happen.
