Bible and Catching FISH
Tionesta, Pa, August 6-Dear
Editor Herald: Your paper reach
es me with unfailing regularity,
and | am doubly indebted to you.
| get the Tampa Times and the
Arcadia News also, and am thus
kept informed of all things hap
pening in that part of Florida in
which | am interested
notice you are having abund-
ant rains. We had none up here
in July, but the Pleasantville
camp meeting began last Sunday,
and several of my neighbors are
putting new roofs on their houses,
so now we have rain day and
night.
Things arc about the same here
as last summer. The most notice
able changes are those which have
not been made. My favorite
mountain seems to have grown
some; at least, it is harder to
climb this year.
There is some mighty rich soil
on our place. | planted some
radish seed just below the barn
one evening, and the next day we
had young radishes for luncheon.
Fact.
| was telling a fellow about the
big watermelons in South Florida,
and he asked me whether, when
one was too big to be eaten all at
one time, a part could be kept
until the next day. | told him
that in such a case we cut only
one-half Of the melon and did not
touch the other half, leaving it in
tact, and then it would not spoil.
He went away thinking that over.
He should know that there never
was a watermelon too big to be
eaten at one time, even tho there
was but one or less to do the eat
ing.
! have found out, alas that it
is true corporations have no souls.
One of them was three weeks in
carrying an article for ne, and
then charged nae storage for the
three weeks. Dang their souls!
when we had crossed the San
tee coming up, the conductor pull
ed the bell cord and brought the
train to a stop. He made the
engineer back up and go over the
bridge again because he had gone
over it too fast the first time. !
hope the government will soon
turn the railroads loose.
! spend the time moving yards,
house and barn, hoeing
vegetables, digging bait, shooting
woodchucks, catching mountain
pink speckled trout, trying to
catch river bass, pitching horse
shoes, finding out where the deer
stay in the woods, reading the
Bible, Shakes-beer, the papers,
and answering questions about
Florida. The last is by far the
most strenuous. If all the people
who swear they are going to Flor
ida this fall keep their oaths, the
State will be trampled down like
the path to the circus.

Of oats yesterday. He cut the

The Girls" is beautiful boat
and her lines are those of speed
and her build insures safety. She
carries a fifty-horse-power, quad

capacity is, approximately, 10000
lbs.
Her length overall, is sixty feet
and she is thirteen feet on the
beam.
She will take the place of the
Mystery" and have the same
run as did that boat-to Stump
Pass. Capt. Bailey Daniels, who
has been in charge of the "Mys-
terry" will be captain of the new
boat, and a safer and better man
to run her would have been hard
to find, He has had experience
of years both on gulf and bay, as
well as on treacherous Lake Okee-
chobee.
The boat was designed by and
built for Chadwick Brothers and
was builded under the supervision
of O. A. Bell.
The masts, which will carry the
hosting apparatus, have not been
F" shipped" yet, and the cabin is
unfinished and machinery not yet
installed. Clay Chadwick in
formed the writer that it will be,
probably, fifteen days. before she
is ready for her first trip.
There was a slight hitch in the
launching, due to a spreading Of
the cradle" but this was soon
overcome and the Iris" named
after little daughter of Clay
Chadwick, now rests gracefully
on the waters of the bay. =
The "Mystery" came in from
her regular run in time to see her
successor breast the waves.
s m ''landlubbers" present
were surprised that boat is
launched stern first. They were
told that, if the reverse was at
tempted, the sharp bow would hit
the bottom and plow deep into the
sand, while the slope of the stern
raises the boat as soon as launch
ed.
The "Mystery" will be over
hauled and kept on hand as a res

Boat Building Activities
There has been a great deal
of boat building and repairing
going on at the four shops here.
j. e. Renfrow has turned out
eleven boats for the Punta Gorda
Fish Company, mostly motor
boat and skiffs. He has built five
for John G.. Lewis & Co., two
launches for himself, which he
later sold, and one for another
man. He says that he has no idle
time and that the bodybuilding
business is flourishing.
Sands & Stevens have applied
themselves mostly to the business
Of repairing. In addition to
doing a big business in this line,
they manufactured a launch for a
man at Fort Myers and one for a
st. James man, which greatly
pleased the owners. Mr.. Stevens

Florida has $1,000 automobiles,
which is an increase over last year
OF $500. Considering the fact
that is was almost impossible to
buy new cars from July, 1918, to
May 1919, this increase is a good
one and shows that Florida is
both progressive and proserous.-

COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE
The Acline School Consolidated
With Ours and the Acline
Teacher Will be Added to the
Faculty.

The County School Board has
designated September LIST as the
dzte on which all high schools in
this county will open. Arrange
ments are being made for this
school to open on that date. The
bungalow for domestic science
and art and for a department of
music will be completed in time
for for opening. 1t is the pur-
pose of the trustees to equip both
Of these departments so that they
will compare favorably with any
other in the state.
The attendance officer, Mr..
Reuel Platt, of Arcadia, is III
town this week taking a census
of the children Of this district,
that those in the grammar grades
may be compelled to attend
school By the state law enacted
by the last legislature, practically
all children between the ages Of
six and one half years and sixteen
and one half years Of age, who
have not passed the eighth grade,
will be compelled to attell the
public school for the entire term.
No permits will be granted to
children to attend private schools
unless it can be made clear to the
County School Board that the
child's health will not warrant its
attending tn e public school.
Those parents, who are depe~dent
upon their children for support,
the law provides that upon aft
davit to that effect, the County
Commissioners will allow twenty
five dollars for the first child that
is in school in the grammar grades
and a smaller amount for the
next.
The faculty for the coming
term are: W. E. Bell, Principal
NJ. r. Stroud, of Birdseye, Ind,
Mathematics and Science; Anna

Louise Powell, of Gainesville,

Miss Ruth Gaines, of Georgia,

Those teachers who have been
continued from the last term are
too well and favorably known to
need comment. They are-W. f.

The new teachers come we'll re-

The school Outgrew its building
and a new bungalow for the de
partment Of science and art and
music is under process Of con-
struction.
The Acline school has been con-
solidated with the Punta Gorda
school and the pupils will be fur

place. This will probably further
crowd the capacity of the school

Punta Gorda is proud of her
schools and there are all indicat-
ions that her pride will be as well
if not better, founded this year
than before.

HOW To AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that this is
a germ disease, spread principally by
human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-common
drinking cups. roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty OF
exercise in the open air, and good
food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use Vick's NapoRub at the very
first sign of n cold. For head cold.
