The people of this state have an opportunity to place at the head
Of our state educational department a most accomplished and COM
petent official in the person Of Miss Minnie Nelson, who for many
years has been county superintendent Of schools Of Barnes county,
and one of the most progressive and foremost educators Of our
state. Miss Nelson, after much urging has entered the field for
this position, and we believe that it would be q most wis., and sane
plan to see that she is elected. We feel at the present time that
person Of N. G: Mcdonald, and it has become current talk that he
devoted more time to the political game than he does to the duties
of his office. We cannot afford to play politics with our educa-
tional departments Of the state, and we believe. that there should
be a change in the head of o~urIstate educational department.. If
the mothers and fathers of our state who are interested in seeing
that our educational departments are kept up to- their highest
standard, they should see to it that they get to the polls on June
26 and cast a vote for Miss Nelson.

The first of the month, as usual, we wrote checks to pay our

different bills, amounting to about $125 and upon inspection we
found that every one of these bills were rendered on stationary
printed by different eastern concerns. These same merchants
rendering these bills are consistently and persistently advocating
trading with the home merchants, which is perfectly right and
proper, but it is a little strange that they don't practice what they
preach. The printing offices in Devils Lake can do just as good
work, and compete with any eastern concern; all they want is a

ATLANTIC COAST LINE
BUYS SANFORD SITE
FOR ITS NEWS SHOPS

Sanford, June 24.-The best news
that has been given out recently Is
that the Atlantic Coast Line railway
has purchased eighty acres of land
west of the city for new shops and
terminals. This land is situated in
the triangle between the Trilby
branch and the main line near Rands
Siding and is well situated for this
purpose. This deal has been pend.
ing for some time and was made
through the A. p Connolly Real Es-
tate Company, of this city. Since
the property was divided among so
many individual owners it took some
time to close the deal and Mr.. Con.
nelly and the Coast Line officials are
being congratulated all around on the
consummation of this big deal.
The purchase of this land means
that the Atlantic Coast Line will
greatly enlarge their railroad shops
in this city and while no plans for
this immense building has been made
public it is certain that the new shops
will be the best and most modern in
the state of Florida, probably being
of the reinforced concrete style with
the new system of lighting and if
rumors are true the new shops will
be equipped to take care of all the
tonnage of the main line and branch.
es Of this great railway system in
Florida.
Sanford being exactly in the center
OF the system from Jacksonville to
Tampa offers the real site for the
proper care and attention that en-
gines must have and the many branch
lines that run into this city make it
at once the logical point for the
shops just as it has always been,
rms city has not been doing the
many large jobs Preparing of roll
kng stock for several years on ac-
count of this work being taken to
Waycross, but with splendid new
buildings and equipment that will be
brought here, Sanford will no doubt
be the largest shop center in this
part of the system outside of Way
cross.
The new purchase also gives the A.
Z. l.. better terminals facilities and
the great amount of business coming
here now and the much larger bus.
ness that will be handled here after
the war, makes this purchase a good
thing for the railroad and the public
as well, giving as it will much better
shipping facilities.

FLORIDA, MY HOMELAND
My home Is in fair Florida,

My home is in fair Florida,
Gem-set between two seas;
Her shores are washed by ocean
waves
And cooled by oceans breeze;
Between Atlantic and the Gulf,
AS empire, rare her boast;
Roundless her possibilities
AS waves that skirt her coast.
The varied song of mocking-bird
Or whippoorwill's refrain
Are welcomed by my hungry soul,
AS dry-land welcomes rain;
Magnolia blossoms fill the air,
With perfume all supreme;
! love my own dear Florida,
She is my homeland queen.
Her lakes her streams, her rivulets
Enhance her beauteous main,
The Ocklawaha wandering,
And Suwannee of wide fame,
Her streams of irridescent hue,
Life-giving in their flow.
They fill me with sweet memories;
My heart is all aglow.
Her birds bring music to my soul
Their songs with hope attune;
1t ravisheth my heart to see
The orange tree in bloom.
Her palm trees and her fruit galore,
Have twined about my heart,
They satisfy my longings deep,
| ne'er from her can part.
The children sing 'My Florida"
AS those of older years,
For not alone a memory,
But coming sheen endears.
The joys that stir declining years,
Inspire the aspirant.
Reflection and expectancy
With hope are radiant.
The ozone of her atmosphere
Ensures returning health;
The warmth of many sunny days,
Invests the soil with wealth;
Thus do the powers of earth and SIX,
Become her handmade true;
None fairer than "My Florida"
Meath canopy of blue.

allied and enemy sources show big
increases in the cost of living in
Europe since July, 1914.
Accoring to figures Italy heads
the list, but rationing there extends
only to sugar and bread with
macroni, rice and maize FOUR
These conditions are not COM

is rationed in very limited amounts,
and where in some cases the rationed
quantities cannot be obtained. The
cost of living for those who can man
age to give exhorbitant prices for
illicit food must be incredibly great.

the war has increased food costs in
Europe:
