Many Praise Offer
of New Dictionary
Language Guide Should Keep Apacc
With Flow of Added Words

Distributing q new dictionary has
brought this paper many compliment
tary remarks. One subscriber who
presented coupons yesterday for
half a dozen dictionaries for diff
ferent employees and members of his
family said he deemed it necessary
that a dictionary should progress
with the language just as a news
paper does. The world moves rap
idly these days and only The New
Universities is apace with to-days
growth of the language.
The departments handling this
great educational offer are being
kept busy handing out the books.
More reserves had to be rushed last
night to fill up the rapidly depleted
stock. At this rate the first and linn
tied edition will soon be exhausted.
While readers are eager for the
book on account of it's being authori-
tative and complete its absolute new
ness appeals to thousands 1T has
been many long year since an ac-
tually new dictionary was given to the
public. The New Universities Die
tionary is new in all the word inn

new in arrangements of helps to word
study. Particularly is it new in maxi

Even the word "Etymology," which
looks harsh and forbidding to begin

article by Clark S. Northup, Ph.D., in
structor in English in Cornell Univer-
sity. Professor Northup's article tells
how to learn where our words were
found, why we adopted them and how
we changed them to mean what we
wanted to say. That's what Etymol-
ogy is and this paper distributes this
dictionary because it wants every
reader to know all about the lam

be well repaid for all the publicl-
ty given him in his campaigns by
the newspapers. But where does
the newspaper get on? Who pays
for ink and paper and labor ON
Saturday night? Besides, if news
paper space is desirable at all, 1t
surely must be desirable for some
definite, particular purpose and
therefore worth the money. Who
so fitting to pay for it as the man
who uses it? TO be sure there is
another side to all this. The news
papers are dealers in news and
politicians furnish news. IN
deed they are news, often. People
who buy and read newspapers
want to know about what the poll
ticians are doing, where they go,
what they say, and when a reader
buys a paper he buys just that
particular information often. This
is the peoples side of the news
paper.
And maybe some newspapers
get a neat little sum out of some
politicians. .

Would you increase the value of
your town property if you could?
It's easy to do and worth doing
Get busy on it; clean it up; re-
pair and paint up; grade your
grounds, if they need it; keep
your walks in good condition and
add new ones where required !;
cut the weeds and keep them
down, both on and adjacent to
your property; don't throw trash
in the street or the back yard /;
keep up your fences il you have
them; grow plenty of flowers and
neat shrubbery, and MAKE 1T A
PLACE OF BEAUTY.
Then go around and brag like
the dickens to your neighbor a.
bout YOUR place, and keep brag-
ging until you make him jealous
of its beauties until he goes to
work and does the same with his,
Then let him in on the secret
and start him out to rubbing it in
ito his neighbors, and see that he
keeps it up until they, too, become
tired Of the contrast and the brag-
ging and get busy on their own
property with a determination to
Guido the rest of you.
! And in time the whole town
will become jealous of the proper
ty of each other and every fellow
will be whooping it up to see who
can have the most attractive
place.
Then the travelling public will
come along and take notice, and
go away and talk of the beauties
of Lake City and the thriftiness
of our people and other PEG
will want to come and live in such
a fine community.
And isn't it easy to see that
your property will be worth near
lv double what it is today?--Lake

every advantage over the Florida

can employ labor in Florida, they
get extremely low freight rates on

whatever on products that ere
shipped into the United States. As
a result they can put fruits and
vegetables in New York at less

profits. Therefore, any one can
readily see what this means to the
Florida farmers.
