A Noble Wort Rich.ly Done

1t was my privilege to stop at the
Polk County convict camp, seven
miles north of Lakeland, in charge of
Supt. c. G. Fletcher. The people in
the camp are working on the new
road being cut thrue from Lakeland
to the Lake County line. The work
is progressing so rapidly that Capt
Fletcher is surprised at the way it is
being rushed thru This making a
good direct high way between the be
ginning and end of the line will be
a permanent immense convenience

NEGLECT OF STATES
HISTORICAL ARCHIVES
Jones Library Bill Proposes Remedy

The wisdom of one session of the
Legislature surveying the work of
previous sessions in order to arrive
at an amicable adjustment of affairs
and gain a starting point is demon
strated by the fact that the session
of 1911 appropriated six thousand
dollars for the purpose of having
compiled a historical record of Flor
ida, the records having been COM
pieted and are now stored away in
some room or vault, where the pub
lie has no access to them. and sub
sequent sessions have never taken
up the matter of even investigating
what has been accomplished. A very
small part of the public is aware that
this expensive work was ever under
taken or accomplished. Now that it
has been done, it is up to the pres
ent session to expedite matters by
making the historical archives of the

Beauty

There is a place that any one must
fall in love with the moment 1t
catches the eye. On the Leesburg
and Lakeland public road, a short
drive north of the latter city. A
clean sloping landscape gently fall
ing south. west and east, that furn-
ishes views of fields, woods and or
ange grove that are charming in
deed. Overlooking all this is a yell
low bungalow with white trimmings.
In it are 6 fine rooms with walls of
white hard finish and high ceilings.
A bathroom has just been built.
Thru the center is a wife hall that
runs from front broad porch to one
in the rear. Shrubs and vines on
the front veranda and in the yard.
Ten acres of cracking good Flor
ida soil belong to this delightful
homestead All kinds of vegetables
and berries grow in this land. Sew
en- acres are particularly productive
Mr.. and Mrs. Ottingcr Powell are
the fortunate master and mistress of
this valuable home. They were
originally from Tennessee. Two
daughters are married; one lives in
Tennessee and the others home is a
short distance from the parents
here; a son is also married and re-
sides in East Tennessee.
Some fine offers have been made
for Beauty but the owners are too
we'll pleased to sell.

H0U NeU York
City Is Meeting Its
Food Problems

There was something terrible to
all in the thought Of the recent food
riots in New York City--it brought
somewhat closer to our comfortable
doorsteps the fact Of want and suffer-
ing of which we have been vaguely
conscious. 1t may be relief to know
that the city has actually done
something, the food has been bought
in huge quantities and placed on sale
at very low figures. Further than
that, the food committee is conduct
ing an educational campaign to in
struct the people in the use of the
foods which have been brought closer
to their reach. For OF the foods
which have been bought are to be
found rice, hominy, 'cornmeal and
Brazilian beans, one or all of which
may be strange, hence undesirable,
to the very poor, many Of whom are
foreigners. Thus the committee has
published pamphlets marked, Hang

Facts About Rice.
"Rice contains more strength-giv-

be used in place Of potatoes.
Potatoes are three-quartcrs water,
while rice has practically no water.
Potatoes are one-ffth starch, while
rice is more than quarters
starch, and starch gives heat and
strength to the body.
"Rice contains two-thirds more
