Geometry.

And after all that, we should know a
few things
About angles and squares and circles
and lines,
But we don't care a cent about stretch
ing our minds
About bisecting ANGLES and fixing up
squares;
So we all rack our brains to think up
all the dares
We can make to each other, to do all
that we can
10 wear out the patience of our
dear(2 Mr.. Spann
We lay our heads down on the back OF
the bench
And that we're all sleep, you'd take

He hollers and fuses and don't fail to
mention
That the whole class will funk II we
don't pay attention.
SO while he's explaining as bard as he
can,
The whole class shoots questions tc
the desperate man,
Anu when we,ye exhau'ted his patience
with these,
We tickle our noses and then we
all sneeze.

WHY NOT FACE THE FACTS

/ The Kalamazoo Telegraph Press
makes an attack upon the Mexican
policy of President Wilson, and re-
lates, with great indignation, that
''ont hundred and thirty-seven
Americans have been killed in Mex
leo in the past few years.
Now. it is not a pleasant thing to
hear that an American has been kill
ed anywhere, or at any time. But
the inquiry of the deed is a great
in 1911 as in 1915, and should call
for the same action, and for the same
criticism if no action is taktn.
Forty-six of these Americans were
killed while President Taft was in
power, but all the wrath of the OPP
! ponents of President Wilson is di-
rected at him, instead of at his pre-
! decessor
| The refusal of Wilson to put a
premium upon murder as a means to
attain power, shown in a refusal to
recoenize the treacherous and
toughened Huerta, is one for which
he will be given the highest praise
| when his life is written by histor-
ian instead of a partyblinded editor,
whose moral sense is only shocked
into expression by Democrat, but
which is comatose when dealing with
a Republican
Why not tell the truth? Why not
show there are hundreds of Ameri-
cans who have remained in Mexico
| all through the outbreaks of the past
two years, who have had no protec-
ton aside from that accorded them
by the Mexicans, and who were To-
Gated miles in the interior.
Why not tell the truth? Why not
show that Americans have deliber-
ately gone in to territory against the
warning of their government, obey
ing their spirit of adventure rather
than listening to the voice of pru-
dence.
Why not tell the truth? Why not
plainly declare that it is not to be
put in the power of lot of irres-
ponsible Adventures to plunge this
nation into war, even if those fool
hardy men were the tools of big in
terests who are playing for the big
stakes represented by the natural
wealth of that unhappy country?
Why not tell the truth? Why not
Indignantly protest that this great
nation, conceived in liberty, is not
to be an American follower of the
brutal and bullying methods of the
European autocracies, before whom
the weak nations are helpless, for
whom might alone is right.-Jack-
son (Mich.) Patriot.

OUR SYMPATHY 10 HOLLEY

Newspaper men of the State viii
sympathize with r. j. HolIey, the
gifted editor of the Sanford Herald
in the loss of his aged mother.
Men are sometimes different in ex
tending to others that sympathy
which is always so helpful in sor-
row, but Mr.. Holley will find this
his newspaper brethren will feel for
him in his trouble.
And Bob, you will learn something
else, beside the fact that you have
the love and admiration of your
brethren of the press. You will learn
that it makes no difference that be-
cause something of silver is coming
to your locks, some few crows feet
are appearing beside your eye and
you are no longer a boy; no matter
that for years you have been steel
ing your mind and heart for the time
which you knew was surely to come
that the good old mother would fold
her hands and slip away; no matter
that you have been expecting it and
you thought you were prepared for
it; when it did come, Bob, you
found that your heart was just as
sore, that the shock was just as
great as if you had been boy again
and the catastrophe had happened
then. And the wrench of the part
ing and the sorrow of the loss will
be just as much yours, now that
you are older, and when you think
you can understand.
And that is the reason, Bob, why
some of us Understand and feel for
you. Some of us who are older even
than you are, have gone through the
same agony and we are in position
to know what your loss means to
you We stand with you, today,
with bowed heads and silent lips,
with only the wish that we could
press your hand. Then you would
know. Miami Herald.

motto, "be prepared" there. is little
surprise that those older people act
ing as chief scouts and leaders
; should become enthusiastic in the
! cause.
The purpose of the Boy Scout is
not militaristic but the military
qualities of discipline, athletes, wood
craft and other forms of craftman-
ship are set in operation, and with
these and through them there is
made an eappeal to and gratifica-
tion of the worthiest ideals and
aspirations of boyhood
Above everything the movement
inculcates that prime essential of
good citizenship; Service service
without reward aside from the pleas
ure coming from helpfulness. Such
princiules make for untold benefits
when the boy passes from that age
into the duties of larger and more
important life, into full-fedged
citizenship.
Start the boy right; protect him
in the period of tenderness, and the
product will repay the effort hun
dredfold when maturity places him
in the position to do the same for
those who come in his steps later

TO WHOM DOES THE CORN
pETT DIT ONO

Belt BELONGl
Is the cornbelt moving South? No,
it is coming back to its old home,
according to c. K McQuarrie, State
agent for the University of Florida
Extension Division. The farmers of
the central part of the United States
think that they have the cornbelt
copyrighted. Mr.. McQuarrie thinks
that they will have to look to their
laurels when the Southern farmer
really makes up his mind to raise
corn.
There is general impression
among many folks that corn cannot
be raised south of the northern tier
of Southern States. AS matter of
fact farmers as far south as South
ern Florida can raise good corn.
The State corn club prize was won
this year by a boy in Hillsborough
county in the south central part of
the State. The yield was almost 100
bushels. Eighty bushels were raised
on an acre in DeSoto county, which
is next door to the Everglades. Sew
eral other yields above so bushels
were produced in that section.
Mr.. McQuarrie states that south
ern corn is better in quality than
Northern corn. The protein content
is higher and the percentage of
corn to cob is greater. At the Ocala
fair this year there were three samp-
les of corn that shelled 80 per cent
grain. The great advantage that the
South has in corn production is the
long season. Corn always natures
Northern farmers must select the va.
riety that will mature whether oil
not 1t will make the best yield or i.
of the best quality. The Southern
farmer can select the very bes
variety for his purpose and rest as
sured that it will have a season Ion.
enough to mature. The natura
habitat of corn is a warm climate
The South comes nearer meeting
these conditions than the so-calleC

II all these things are true, VIII!
does the South, and particular!
Florida, not produce more corn
The answer is to be found in tn,

farmer. When these have passed
