On July IL the Federal Aid Road
bill became a law. This measure pro
vides for cooperation on the part OF
the federal government with the va
rious States in the construction OF
good roads, and the sum of SIS, OOO,-
600 is made available to carry on
this work. Florida is entitled to her
proportion of this money, and IL she
is up and doing she will probably
get it. Likewise, II she sits idly by
and takes no interest in the matter,
1t is equally probable that those Sec
tions more vigilant in looking after
their rights will gobble UP whatever
is in sight. This is a matter that It
seems to us might we'll receive the
attention Of our State commercial
bodies, who might take 1t UP with
Florida representatives in Congress,
and at least learn what process is
necessary to get whatever our State
is entitled to in the premises.

Lord Kitchener estimated the num-
her of women who would be wild
owed by the war in the British Isles
at 10000. Women now outnumber
men by more than 100000 already
in the United Kingdom, while in
some of the empires oversee domin-
ions, men are in large majority. To
redistribute these women who are
widows when the war is over, the
Salvation Army is developing a plan
to send them to the dominions to re-
marry, and is raising a fund of ST.
600 900 to defray the expense of
their emigration and that of their
children. In France, another
scheme, more of a sentimental than
of a material nature, is on foot to
honor war widows. Votes for Wild
ows" is the slogan of a movement for
giving to the widows and orphans of
soldiers having died for their coun-
try the right to vote for period of
ten years after their death, the gift
of the franchise being intended. as a
token of gratitude to the dead in the
person of their kin.

We frequently hear complaints of
GOODNESS on the part of church peo-
pie to the stranger who visits the
church. Sometimes, perhaps, the
complaint is justifable, though, in
most instances the trouble is not
GOODNESS, but a species of timidity
founded upon doubt as to how ones
advances may be received. Frequent
ly, too, the fault lies more with the
visitor than with the church men,
bership Editor Frank Harris, who is
spending some time in Chicago, and
is sending some most interesting

endar of church he visited. 1t is
worth the thoughtful consideration

WHO WROTE THIS VERSE;

The poem in part is as follows:

She looked like drum and he looked
like fife,
And 1t took all his money to dress
her, -r'7 S1l,Et ~i;s

"She grew like a target; he grew
like sword,

She took all the bed and she took
all the board,
And II took whole sofa to bear
her,
God spare her!
To bear her! -,
God spare her!
To bear her!
"She spread like a turtle; he shrank
like pike,
A pike, pike, God save hint
And nobody ever beheld the like,
For they had to wear glasses to

II all the Prohibitionists were Of

make 1t so. Mr.. and Mrs. John p.

pledged a contribution Of $4,000 to

AS 1t appears only $4,000 was
