Gladys Writes
To P. C.'S
(Promlnent cItizens)

My Dear Miss Reynolds:
I've been writing to the men for
50 long that I've decided to take
little vacation, and SO I'm going to
write to you. Speaking of vaca-
lions, think it does one good to
get away from the humdrum, and
when / decide whether to take
Grady, Ray, Will Sammon, TRULY,
George Moore or Fred Benford for
better or worse, and the minister
says: 81 pronounce you man and
wife," the first thing I'm going to
think about will be vacation and
hubby not along. You see I've been
talking to older and wiser heads, fe-
male heads, / mean, and they tell me
it does couples good to get away
from each other. They say that when
they get back to living together
again they get along better. When
L do take my vacation, I'm going to
leave you here to watch my husband.
II can't tell you who to watch yet,
because these boys are so slow in
Lakeland. They may be planning to
be in the "Old Man Darling class"
though. wait until they are as old as
Methuselah and then take one to
raise. That would be the life, now
wouldn't it?
I'm just going to love your new
store to death. I think the way
you've set your front door way back
and put long, narrow windows on
the side is just too sweet for any
thing. l think when it all gets fin
ished it would be so nice il you
would have an opening and invite
everybody to see what fine looking
city store you've got. would be
glad to come around and help you
get ready for it, and suggest how it
ought to be done, too. think it
would be nice to have big punch
bowl filled with Chero-Cola right at
the front door, and could serve it
for you. You'd get big crowd If
you let it be known that Gladys
would serve for you, because every
body in town is wondering who am.
Some folks think I'm c. Green.
Amt that funny? If there's any,
thing do love its C. Green and
Chero- Cola.
Talking about your store, heard
that Jimmie Holcomb has been maxi
ing excuses to visit your store good
deal lately, on account of his firm
furnishing the lumber for the work
you are having done, but I've got it
on mighty good authority that he
spends his time looking at cute
little garment on your front show
case that he may buy one of these
days. It's SO nice to see new bust
ness in sight, isn't it?
No more this time, from your
True Friend,
GLADYS.

NOTIFY PUBLISHERS
TO STOP PAPER

A writer in the Chicago Tribune
asks the following question: What is
the rule in regard to payment of sub
scription to periodicals which are de-
livered after the original subscrip-
tion has run out. A certain week
ly paper to which once subscribed
has been coming to me for two years
since the expiration of the first sub
scription.
The answer of the Tribune's law
department is as follows: The law in
this respect is that, as long as the
subscriber continues to receive and
accept the magazine or periodical
even though the original subscrip-
ton has expired, the subscriber is
liable. The proper procedure is to
notify the company that you do not
care to take the magazine any long
er. Then, IL the company continues
to send same to you, you are no
longer held.

THE GOOD MOTHER

A precocious child when asked
what, in her opinion, mothers were
good for, answered: why, you see,
God couldn't be everywhere, and so
he Just had to make mothers"
But it takes grace to be a good
mother. She must be wise and pa
tient and good natured and serene
and always ready to comfort and to
help without losing her self control.
Professor Swing once said he knew
many mothers whose children were
well washed, well scolded, well
dressed and we'll whipped, but few
whose children were inspired; and
it certainly takes grace to lead such
a life before the children that they
shall be inspired.
II you have good, healthy children,
full of animal spirits and rollicking
with fun and life, be thankful for it,
even IL they do make more noise
sometimes than it seems possible to
bear; for the weak and nervous child
is tenfold more of problem.
There are two general types Of
nervous children: The active child,
always on the go, inquisitive and
acquisitive, but. delicate as the mi
moso leaf, shrinking back into itself
at the first repulse of harsh word;
and the pale, quiet, effective child,
thoughtful, responsive, reserved.
The child of the first type may be
the embry philanthropist or leader
of criminals, inventor or social iron
oclast, as his training tends, while
the child of the second type develops
into the philosopher, the poet, the
man of letters, or the misanthrope,
case may be.
One of the great mistakes in train
ing a nervous child is to think that
strength can come through opposi-
ton. Such child should be guided,
not driven. If afraid of the dark, it
should not be forced to sleep in an
unlighted room. Timidity should
not be ridiculed, but patiently ex-
planned and argued ay.-Trenton

Testimony to the merit of sand
asphalt roads is given in the current
issue of the Florida Grower, by the
editor, Mr.. Wright, who says: II had
opportunity this past week to ride on
the sand-asphalt roads of Lake coun-
ty. In our party were D. G. Gillett,
Peter o. Knight, w. c. Thomas of
the Tampa Hardware Co., and Lem
Woods, of the Gulf Fertilizer Co. We
were unanimous in the opinion that
this was "a splendid roadway, and
that it was showing no evidence of
wear. OF course, Orange county's
brick roads are fine, especially where
they have been grouted, but as sand
asphalt is SO much cheaper to build
and SO much smoother to ride over,
and as it will apparently stand wash
ing much better, it seemed to us all
that 1t was the ideal roadway for
Florida, and l am glad that Polk
county is to build with this type"

The biggest news that has broke"
for many a day is that Estate d.
vision, woman's suffrage and State
wide prohibition are to be settled at
the general election this fall" Won
der by whom these important mat
ters are to be settled? The State
papers have been very remiss in this
matter, for they have never given
this information their readers,
and 1t serves them right to be
scooped. Seriously, we did not sup
pose there was a ten-year-old BOY in
the State who did not know that
there was nothing entering into the
coming election having the remotest
bearing on any of the three propo-
sitions mentioned. Three constitu-
tional amendments will be offered
for the rejection or acceptance of
the voters at the November election.
One would exempt from taxation
property to the value of $500 be-
longing to widows who have fam
lilies dependent upon them, or to
citizens of the State who have lost a
limb. Another refers to the appor-
tionment of legislative representa-
tion, and the third defines the quail
ifications of a legal voter and has
been referred to as the grandfather
clause" amendment Now these are
all the things that are to be voted
on so far as the voters have been lei
into the secret; but perhaps these
other little matters of State division
woman suffrage and Statewide pro.
hibition are just going to be settled
for us by some of our wise men with:
out the formality of asking the peo
pies desires.

Many newspaper publishers whose
contracts for print paper expired at
the first of the year are up against
"a situation that suggests suspension
as the only solution of the problem
Of meeting the enormous advance in
the price of paper. One prominent
publisher told us the other day, 81
will be forced to cut down the size
OF my paper materially, and to raise
both the subscription price and the
advertising rates. We are now put
ting four cents worth of white paper
into every copy of our Sunday ISSUE"
One thing is certain: no newspaper
can run long, unless it has barrel"
behind 1t, that does not insist on pay
ment for all the copies 1t sends out.
The day of the padded list and dead
head subscriber has passed.

In regard to this Knott-Catts con-
test, the Democratic voters of Flor
ida will please take notice of the fol-
lowing easily proven facts: Cats,
who denounces Knott, for contesting,
instituted the first contest, disputing
the returns in an Alachua county
precinct and going to the courts to
enforce his claims. That Knott did
not. institute his contest on the
charge of fraud, but on that of in
accuracy in counting in number of
precincts, which claim of his has
been borne out by every recount so
far made. That Knott hasn't abused
anybody nor threatened to bolt. That
Cats and his partisans have abused
everybody who disagree with them
and declare that Cats shall be. the
nominee whether a recount shows
him to have plurality or not

A Remarkable Double Celebration

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Solo
mon Stern, at 1870 St. Charles ave-
nue, New Orleans, La, was the scene
of doubly joyous celebration, when
Mr.. and Mrs. Solomon Stern and Mr..
and Mrs. Isaac Stern celebrated their
golden wedding anniversaries. Mr.
Isaac Stern married Miss Tillie Marx,
of Cincinnati, Ohio, just one week be-
fore his brother Mr.. Solomon Stern,
married Miss Henrietta Myer, of
Montgomery, Ala. The two brothers
and good wives, all of whom are in
excellent health, therefore decided to
celebrate the happy event together.

is his attitude toward the race. From the
race he turns with a feeling of repug-
nance
At the medical school 1 was one of a
quiz club of six. We were all graduates
of the larger Eastern colleges, hard and
conscientious students, all of age, full
grown men. One of the members of the
quiz club was a splendid fellow, big
hearted, whole-souled red-haired Irishman
"a Catholic, of course We were all
"Ned,' billie" and Jack" to one an
other-intimates in that glowing hour
when youth ripens to manhood, when the
joy of living gains in intensity as purpose
and the aim for a defined goal first
emerge. One night O'Brien did not come
to the meeting of the quiz club. Somehow
the talk left materia medica and ran to
race and religion, and the sum of it was
that my four friends, OBriens four
friends all American born and Of good
old Protestant stock hated and loathed
and despised Irish Catholics with such
fervor as led to Christ's crucifxion. Irish
Catholics ought to be kept out of this
country; they were a menace to our in
stitutions; they were never to be trusted;
betrayal of friends was their common
practice; they were thieves, grafters,
what-not. So the talk ran.
Though this happened many years ago,
I think I do not exaggerate, for the
thing was burned into my mind with
hot iron. I remember the room, and the
mems faces, particularly Ms. NJ

such cold, starry, brilliant night as lifts
ones spirits to the skies, but was leaden
footed, for 1 knew how they would have
talked of the Jews if 1 had not been there.
O'Brien, they had said, was all right.
Oh, but he was the solitary exception,
the unique Irishman. So, if perhaps they
thought we'll of me they might have said
I was the one not undesirable Jew.
Thus, as the incident of my Teuton
friend Schmidt gave me my first knowl-
edge of the Gentile's picture of the Jew,
so it was reserved for this Irish episode

The Return of the Twins Double, three part feature of the 101 Bison brand, with Grace Cunard and Francis Ford in the leading roles, will be the attraction at the Grand tonight. Miss Cunard will be remembered as the leading char acter in Lucille Love. In this photo play she takes three distinct parts, first the sweet tempered girl of in nocense and beauty, the twin sister, high tempered and a dope fiend, then the Lady Rallies, 8 most clever crook. One can scarcely realize that Miss Cunard is playing the part of the three girls, each one is so different. Francis Ford gets in some clever detective work which makes this an unusually strong play.
