Why the Dinner Tasted Bad

corn as they lay on the kitchen table
where the grocery boy had dumped
them.

sadly replied the corn, looking visit
fully into the dark eyes the potato.
And the cabbage, which during
this depressing conversation had re-
manned silent, shook it's big flabby
head dolefully. while the tomato
grew red with grief and the pickle
became sour at the very thought, not
to mention the bitterness of the vim
egar when informed of the tragic
news. Even the onion, which is
usually so strong, felt it's very
strength giving way. The cucumber

Civilization and Loyalty

in deep gobs everywhere.

Aripeka. Florida. Probably six hun
dred people were gathered there. They
were largely of the fish camps, and
lumber camps and farms; plain. home
ly people-Florida Crackers, IL you
please, and all honor to them.
They probably had not attended
monkey dinners, like John Reed-or
society events where the ladies hung
from the chandeliers by their toes.
They could not tell the different
brands of wine by taste, or read a
French bill of fare, but they knew the
rudiments of hospitality, and how to
prepare a sumptuous repast, and wore
clean clothes, and were thoroughly de-
cent all the way through.
After the dinner few children were
called to the platform, and lead by a
noble lady. they began tossing.
There was no Marine band to ac-
company the singers-there was not
even an organ or jewsharp.
But as the voice of the children lift
ed as to the waving fronds of the cab
bage palms the gathering recognized
the song as america" to the man,

and bowed heads-as if it were a

They were not commanded to do

In Washington, D. c., 1 was for

Marine band in an afternoons con,

was gathered there 5000 people from

At the end of the concert, timed to

upon an eminence far above the
crowd, ready to lower the American
flag, when the band played America.
The printed program stated that
America was to be next rendered.
The band leader raped for attention

DIXIE HIGHWAY

Comparatively few people in this
part of the country, especially in Flor
ida, realize the Importance of the work
done by the Dixie Highway Associa-
ton, in securing the building of paved
roads. If ever there was a work I'M
tdertaken for the purpose of bringing
! enjoyment and pleasure into thous-
ands of lives, it is that of the Dixie
Highway folks. There is not the re.
hottest suggestion of self-interest or
self-aggrandizement ON the part of Of
Ulcers or employees. The whole plan
has been devised for the sole purpose
or bring certain parts of our country
into closer touch than would otherwise
be possible. While the railroads have
brought together large sections of the
country, there never can be the real
community interest that is created
through the medium of a general sys-
tenn of good roads.
Florida has a direct and personal
interest in the Dixie HIGHWAY, be-
eau 1t is the main artery of automobile
travel u this great state. In fact the
Dixie Highway was created because
