Road From Hills Bridge.

The Maryland state roads commission
has advertised for bids, which viii be
opened Tuesday of this week. for the
construction of gravel or concrete
road from Hills Bridge to Mount Zion
or Lothian Post Office, in Anne Arundel
county. Md. At the present time there
is a good macadam highway between
the National Capital and Upper MARI

Drury. Greenock to Lothian, distance
of six miles. Here it connects with the
gravel state road which extends at the
present time to Solomon's Island, on

THE TASK AND THE MASTER.

The shoemaker who sticks to his last too
closely, the carpenter who sees nothing be
yond his tools and the artist whose canvas
measures his landscape, sooner or later is
doomed to mediocrity.
There must be playtime to every life as
well as worktime. The hours of relaxa-
ton just as surely as the twilight succeeds
the glare of the sun, else the work and the
workman both must suffer.
There is no taskmaster so hard as habit.
He chains men to dark counting rooms,
when the world calls Justify of life and
light He harnesses men to routine and
drives them with the ragged whip of repe-
tition that even in it's scourge cannot beat
them from the dull rounds of daily living.
Ambition has winged feet when life is
young, but as time progresses the wings
becomes shackles, unless they are clipped
with the shears of the open mind and the
valiant deed
Life must have more than drudGery. The
days round must be made up of something
more than grinding, else the task becomes
the master and the man the tool.
Each soul needs light to grow. Unless

The muscles of the body are not the only
muscles which need exercising to be kept
in order. Laughter thrives on laughter
and the soul and the mind need using as
well as the body.
All of which goes to say that each mar
needs to get out from his work for while
and live and laugh.

PURE FOOD.

Pure food laws are not alone product
of the twentieth century
Ages ago the citizens and the state pro-
tected their food supplies by both munich
pal laws and religious customs and COM
mandments.
The Egyptians were forbidden to eat the
meat OF cow as this animal was the sacred
one of the god Isis, and the eating of the
flesh of any other animal that was consid-
cred sacred was also a violation of the re-
ligious or civil code.
1t was illegal for the Athenians to eat the
meat of lamb that had not been shorn
once, and by the Romans goat meat was
considered unwholesome, but pork was
their tavor1te, fifty different preparations
being made of this kind of meat.
The art of sausage making was finish
ed one IN Rome and most of the we'll known
varieties were made and re1ished by the in
hab1tants and the sailing of meat was prac-
t1ced as far back as the times of Homer.
In the days of ancient Rome slaughter
houses and meat booths were among the
largest of public buildings.
The Israelites were forbidden bv Moses
to eat fat or blood and were commanded to
avoid the meat of hogs. While the Phoe-
nicians abstained from eating the meat of
the cow, dog meat was very much desired
by them.
The japanese were forbidden to eat fish
tor the reason that the flesh decomposed
too rapidly. Hares were considered nm
clean and unwho1esome and were eaten
only by the poor in Rome.
There were many penalties attached for
the violation of the municipal laws or re-
llg1ous customs In Rome condemned meat
was thrown into the Tiber and fines were
devoted to the erection of a tern1e n The
goddesses.
The early German food laws imposed
penalties for violations of the meat laws or

THE cTY's LIGHTING CONTRACT

One Of the first questions to come before
the new board of commissioners will be the
contract for the city lighting. The olds
will be opened tomorrow.
The rates in effect now are $50 year
for each street arc light; $50 for incandes-
cents, and $35 for gas lights.
Before signing contract, the commits
sioners will, of course, study rates IN other
cities, in order to insure the people of Pen
sacola's getting full value for their money.
Another question to be we'll weighed is the
duration of the contract. Too long CON
tract should by all means be avoided, yet
the contract should be of sufficient dura-
ton to justify the successful bidders in
making all necessary installations. At
certain of our street corners there are both
gas and electric lights, while other streets
are under-Hghted. If the commissioners
will spot the city and equalize the illun1ina-
ton more thoroughly they will have inaug-
urated their term of office with work of
great public benefit.

The first of the two statements is
that Of Jacob Bird, from Sharon,
Pennsylvania, who came to Florida
N 1912 and settled in the Barrineau
Park colony. When he cane south
he brought grade root with him
three years old. Of the rott he
planted a cutting and last year har-
vested, on his own statement, 235
punches of grapes.
The other statement is from Martin
Frichs, from Milwaukee, also settled
in Barrineau Park, which says that
from four fifty foot rows of two year
old grapes he last year gathered 600
pounds, selling them at twelve cents
per pound. According to his own esti-
nation, vineyard with rows six feet
apart would yield 81 $50 annually.

HENRY PIAGGIO IS
HAVING TWO MORE
SCH00NERS BUILT
WELL-KNOWN FORMER PENSA-
COLIAN HAS CONTRACTED FOR
LARGE FTVE-MASTER IN A
TEXAS SHIPYARD.

Henry Piaggio, a we'll known lun-
Der and timber exporter of the Gulf
coast, has contracted for the build
ing of two more schooners to be built
at the Swail shipyard at Orange,
Texas.
The larger of the two vessels just
contracted for will be a five master,
a duplicate of the ship now in the
stocks at the Swails yard. The other
will be four master and only
slightly smaller than its two sister
ships.
Mr.. Piaggio contracted for the
building of the schooner now in the
stocks few months ago, and he was
so we'll pleased with the progress
made on her that he Immediately con-
tracted for the later two.
Mr.. Piaggio, who is well and favor
ably known from his long citizenship
in Pensacola, is interested in the tim
Der and lumber business, and to a
friend made this statement: open
sacoIa should have a shipyard capable
of building a vessel of from 200 to
1000 tons dead weight, and had such
a yard been located at Pensacola, that
place would have been given the work
of building three schooners now being
built at Orange"
1t is safe to say that had there
been such ship building facilities here
not only the Piaggio work, but a
number of other schooners would have
been constructed in Pensacola.
In referring to the contracts signed
for the two schooners, the Orange
Daily Leader in last Saturdays issue
printed the following:
Contracts Are Signed.
Indicating as strongly as is posi-
BILE his confidence in Orange as a
ship-building center and, at the same
time, further emphasizing his belief
in long leaf yellow pine as a ship
building material, Henry Piaggio
Saturday morning signed contracts
with Captain Fred H. Swails for two
more large schooners, especially de-
signed for the understanding trade

Piaggio's Office on the stroke of noon
and work will be begun on both YES
