ABOUT SCHOOL BOOKS

It is bad enough for youngsters to
have to start school while the wealth.
err is still warm.
But 1t is certainly most unhappy
situation for them to be compelled to
sit around moro or less idly because
OF lack of necessary books with
which to pursue their studies.
The business of selecting the text
books for the Florida schools was a
bad enough one at the best; but the
clubbing and sidestepping which left
final disposal Of the matter up to al
most the very last minute is entirely
inexcusable.
Information is all to the effect that
the Ivory King at Tallahassee largely
Is the person responsible. Naturally
he doesn't set much store by "book
larnin'." 1t did him very little good
personally, and rather naturally
seems to be somewhat wasteful from
his viewpoint.
The fact that he was elected as a
servant of the people Of the State of
Florida and he owes something in the
way OF responsibility for the honor
conferred upon him, possibly has new
err entered into his calculations. i.
has not been particularly evident if
it has.
The present school book fiasco is
about what could be expected in view
OF some other performances which
have preceded it.-Bartow Courier.

Philip, a Friend of Jesus

Once Jesus told a man named
Philip to 60 on an errand for him.
He showed Jesus that he loved
Him by minding right away. He
had to take a long walk by him
self but he was not afraid. because
Jesus was with him. just as he is
with each of us, although we can
not see Him. After Philip had
walked a long way. he saw some
thing ahead of him moving along
very slowly. 1t was man riding
in a chariot, or a two-wheeled cat.
A servant was drying the beautiful
horses while the NAH was reading
something he held in his hand. OF
course, the man had to 60 very
slowly if he wanted to read as he
rode along. Jesus said. Hurry UP.
Philip, and catch up with the man"
So, Philip ran after the chariot, and
as he came up near 1t he saw that
the man was dark and handsome,
and very richly dressed.
The man was prince in his own
country. He was reading a part OF
the Bible. which said. that Jesus
was coming into the world to help
people to be good and loving.
Philip asked the man If he under
stood what he read. and the man
said, How can | understand unless
someone explains 1t to me?" Then
the man invited Philip to ride with
him, and as they rode along Philip
told the man all about the dear
Lord Jesus, and the man learned to
love Jesus. He wanted to show
that he loved Jesus, SO Philip bap-
tized him, and he went home to
tell others about Jesus-Russell

without mishap. Soon the steamer
was at port Jacksonville. Florida,
and the boys went sightseeing up
and down the streets shaded by
palm trees.
The next day the boys boarded a
boat going down the river. BY
noon they decided to leave in quest
of a good camping location.
Jim found one that suited their
taste. 1t was an island containing
many large cypress, pitch pine, and
palmetto trees.

After spending a good half hour
in search of pole, Jim came back
to Fritz who suggested, why not
cut a pitch pine? They make dan

at Fritz, for very good reason.
because pitch pine is three to five
inches in diameter when long
enough for a fishing pole.
To relieve the suspense. Fritz

Soon Jim hauled out a sun-fish
