But the fact Is that you buy imple-

That is why buying an implement

The Art of Reading.

The printing press has helped )iber-
alize and free the people from tyr
amy. Books and magazines and
newspapers have done much to dis
seminate knowledge and bring infor-
nation into the homes of the people.
They have promoted the art Of read
ing and stimulated the desire 10 read
more.
At the same time the very multi
tude OF books and periodicals has cul-
tivated a desultory method Of read
ing, a desire to skim over everything
and digest little or nothing. Classic
writings, the great books Of history,
biography and fiction have in meas
ure gone out of fashion. Solid read
ing" as il is called, is not often in
duIged in, and the names Of great
writer's, whose productions will live
always, are unfamiliar to many Of the
present generation.
The excuse is that we live in very
rapid age. and there is no time TO
read heavy literature. The reason Is
that most persons have lost their
taste for history, for biography, for
good reading. They have partaken of
the froth for so long they have lost
thss.taass fsr the substantial.-New

The day the A. P. carried the news
of the bombardment of Paris with a
long range gun, w. R. Van SAINT came
in and gave US his theory of double
shell used in the long range gun. Last
week the Boston Herald carried an
Interview with German artillery Of
flyer who explained exactly how the
gun worked and Mr.. Van SAINT had hit
the nail squarely on the. head.-Lees-
burg Commercial.
Um, hum; we explained the same
theory to Bob Carroll and Jimmy
Thomas the first time we got them
together after the shooting began, but
it wasn't original with US. 1t was
taken from a story printed in the
Saturday Evening Post two years be-
fore, and there is 40 authentic evil
dence that the Post, Mr.. Van SAINT, the
German officer or US did any more
than talk thru our hats. There is bet
ter evidence that skilled artillery offic-
ers have declared the theory unten-
able.

We have received a very interest
ing little volume-"Dr. Andrew Turn
bull and the New Smyrna Colony of
Florida"-by Miss Carita Doggett of
Jacksonville. The book is of partic-
ular interest to US, as we helped to
establish the first newspaper, the
Breeze, in New Smyrna, thirty-two
years ago. edited and printed it for
the best part of year, and made our
home in the town, then nothing but a
pretty little village, for several
months, winning in that time some
friendships that yet endure, tho
many of those we knew then have
since passed away. This new book, of
which the Drew press of Jacksonville
is the publisher, is well worth the
perusal of any Floridian. 1t presents
the character of DR.. Andrew Turnbull,
founder of the colony of New Smyrna,
in a different light from that which
r,ost other historians have shed upon
it. Turnbull has always been accused
of breaking up his own colony by his
avarice and cruelty, but Miss Doggett
extols him as a philanthropic and en-
|terprising man whose good intentions
were foiled by ignorance of the coun-
try and the Vaccinations of his ene-
mics. She is probably right. Send
to the Drew Press in Jacksonville fol-
a copy; it will repay perusal.

Several years ago, the government
the Standard Oil trust,
with the intention of lessening its
power in politics and reducing the
price of it's product to the consumer.
Has it accomplished either result?
Now it intends to unscramble the meat
trust. The five great packing firms
must confine themselves strictly to
packing, and must give up the other
branches of business, which their
main industry has enabled them to
successfully carry on. Do the people
suppose this will benefit them? II
they do. they will soon be- undeceived.
The desire to make money is possess
ed by all men, and REIMBURSEMENT of
the stock yards, etc., by the packers
will mean that they will only pass
into the hands of less skillful pro-
fteers, who will charge the people as
packers and other great business
firms charged the government much
less in proportion during the war for
services rendered than men who work
ed for two or three times the wages
taey could make in time of peace. The
last few years have taught the world
the lesson, that big men and big bus
iness are as honest as little men and
Little business. and ten times more
efficient. If the United States gov
eminent was managed with the efic-
iency that Swift & Company show in
business, the people would be saved
many of the heavy burdens they now
groan under.

RUN TOO MUCH BY RADICALS

A good deal of the trouble the
country has is due to the errors of
the administration in selecting offic-
ials. Some of these men, chosen
doubtless with the best intentions,
have turned out to be radicals; others
TOO weak to resist radical demands.
The Tampa Times truly says:
Things must be getting pretty Sc
rious when democratic representa-
tive from Texas declares the depart
men of labor is honeycombed with
radicalism, and permeated with the
spirit of anarchism from Secretary
Wilson down. Representative Blan-
ton. the democrat who makes the
charges, says further. IF President
Wilson knew what I know about the
department of labor he would clean it
uE in Is minutes These are serious
charges coming from a democrat. If
they came from republican sources
they might be ignored as inspired by
party malice, and desire TO damage
democratic administration. Similar
charges were made some time ago on
the floor of Congress, but they were
so incredible they were passed by with
little notice.
"Since then, however, there have
been several instances of undue lem
iency to radicals which have tended
to call public attention once more to
the department of labor. Nearly 700
radicals rounded up in the hotbeds of
anarchy in the west were sent east
for deportation. Only about go were
deported, and others were turned
