WHY CIVILIZATION
REQUIRES POETRY

&C. H. B. Floyd, in Tampa Tribune.)
Hethering ton of the Lakeland
Telegram Consider Hetherington
He is nearly as immobile as pine
tree. In the morning he goes to his
office In the dusk he returns home.
Day after day; year after year, dan
ger is practically eliminated from his
life, and with it physical adventure
is eliminated. Danger and adventure
cause exaltation, stimulation. With
out some degree of stimulation and
exaltation life pals. One goes only
on low gear.
Poetry shifts the gears to high and
the human engine is glad and laughs
along. Hetherin gton is true poet
expressing himself in philosophy.
The whole coast of Florida's public
life is phosphorescent with the play
of his thought Rooted at his desk,
stationary there, his soul, like the
foliage of tall Norwegian pine, 10
alive in this hurricane of mental &C
tivity.

FIRST BASEBALL
GAME OF THE SEASON

Everybody loves ball game and
most persons prefer a scrappy one.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
officials of every league of import
ance have declared against umpire
batting more of it has been INDUCED
in this season than ever before. The
player is always the sufferer no mat
ter what the provocation, and the
player often has great provocation
Umpires are only human and did
they not err it would be the end of
disorder, practically speaking. All
lovers of the manly sport deplore the
frequent alterations between the
player and umpire yet not one in a
thousand but takes sides in the trou-
BILE.
One of the. most laughable bur-

lesques ever produced is the game OF
baseball between the Tar Boys" and
the "Darktown Blues" The big pro-
duction, Elk's Minstrels has many
surprises that precede the ending,
but nothing so funny as the base
ball game between the colored Mines
Umpires have had their troubles
in real life, but what might happen is
the Init to which the batting goes in
this burlesque.

ARGUMENT FOR GOOD ROADS

The following letter written by a
farmer operating in Lake and Polk
counties will be the experience of
many another farmer by the carry
ing of the bond election in Polk
county:
ITO the Polk County Farmers:
This is to certify that the under
signed, resident and farmer at Fort
Mason, Lake county, has had the fol-
lowing experience with our new
nine-foot asphalt highways: Where
formerly hauled one-half ton
$1,000 pounds) with a two horse
team, l now haul from one to one
and one-ha!f ton with the same team
in one-half the time formerly occu-
pied on our old sand and sand-clay
highway between my place and Eus-
tbs. AS time is money, I figure that
now haul six loads in the same
time l formerly hauled only one, and
my team is not jaded as formerly,
nor are my wagon and harness sub
jected to the former wear and tear.
Where formerly one automobile
passed my house, now twenty five
use these sand-asphalt roads, and |
live on main thoroughfare Of the
Dixie Highway. Last Sunday 54
autos passed my farm gate in one
hour
l own a 120 acre farm in Polk
county and | want to be taxed for
sand-asphalt road there even If it
does not run fifteen miles from my
place. WI. M. MOORE,
Mayor of Fort Mason, Fla.
Witness:

Mayor Of Eustis, Fla.

In these parlous times, We should
not overlook our coast defenses, one
of whom RUDE Allyn is which. Some
months ago RUDE declared war
against Germany, and it has always
been a comforting feeling to us to
know that he was on guard in his
marine print shop his good pen.
Excalibur, poised in air, ready to in
dite such a hot one that any prowl-
ing foreign navy that might appear
on the horizon would be driven howl
ing into the Sargossa sea. But in the
last issue of the Sarasota Times, we
seem to read the s. o. S. message.
"A New York lawyer" the paper
states, lis in the offing, and the ma
rine print shop is in danger A
s45 linotype composition bill, which
seems to be owed to a brother editor
apparently is the casus belli. So fa-
as we are advised, Rube has the only
marine print shop on earth, and W
had always thought that an editor
who could fish with one hand while
writing editorials with the other.
would be immune from the troubles
that infest ordinary printing offices
We trust Rube can keep the New
York lawyer safely in the offing, and
that nothing so sordid as a linotype
composition bill will be permitted to
interfere with the peaceful and phil
osophieal atmosphere of the marine
print shop

EASTER THIS YEAR FALLS JUST
TWO DAYS BEFORE LIMIT 1T IS

According to the decree A. d. 1925.
of Constantine, Emperor of Rome,
Easter will fall April % this year,
Just two days prior to the latest date
it could possibly occur Constantine
gathered with the historic Council
of Nice, with the view of settling the
Lenten season. A rule was adopted
and recorded whereby Easter Sunday
p.
Easter may occur as early as
March 20 and as late as April 25.
March will be ash Wednesday,
and the first day of the Lenten sea-
son. The springtide fast Of forty
days will then begin and there will
be great cessation of social func-
tions and the women of the world
will take on duties more serious than
the social.
The Lenten season of 1916, is di-
rectly in contrast with them of 1918.
In that year, Easter occurred next

Easter occurred on April 90, in
1S4S and 1905, and will occur on
, that date this year. 1t will fall on
this date again in the year 1000.
April % is unusually late for
Easter to fall. 1t occurred on that
, date in 1910, 1921, 1882 and will
occur in those days of the month in
1878 and 1884.
In majority of years, Easter
/ Sunday falls during the month of
April between the first and twentieth
dates. During the twentieth century
it will occur in March twenty-one
times. 1t will fall during that month
on March "a, 1910; March %, 1851;

Earliest ENGLISH Surname.

History shows that surnames did
not come into general and heredi.
tary use in England until after the
Norman conquest. when the upper
classes were first known by the names
of their lands. The lower orders took
the names of trades. birds, animals
and various other objects in art and
nature. We are told that the earliest
English surname is Hattie"

cause it was unable to secure enough

spoiled by the much larger prices
