We have taken pleasure In giving
considerable space to printing the OBJ.
servations of the editor of the Ocala
Star, who has visited the State Pris.
on Farms, and who reports most
gratifying conditions there. These
observations are the more valuable
because we are positive that II things
had not been found right the editor
would have fearlessly said 30. We
know too little about our State In
situations; there is too little publicity
shed ON their conduct. The average
citizen knows in vague way that
he pays taxes to maintain them, but
that is about all he does know about
them. We are glad that at least one
of our institutions undertaking the
correction or reforming OF offenders
is in charge Of big, humane man
who does ont abuse his position. We
wish we could make this statement
from absolute knowledge concerning
all of them.

THE TWO WAYS
fBy R. A. ward)

(By R, A. Ward)
,.r. oro ia a way that seemeth right"
It's path is strewn with flowers
Along the way are earthly joys
Beguiling youthful hours.
II offers strength for every toll,
Down to our parting breath,
And while the way seems bright anu
fair,
"The end thereof is death" /
There is a narrower pathway,
with thorns instead Of flowers,
Though not devoid Of many Joys
Has many painful hours.
We shun the portals Of this way
Because of pain or loss,
For entrance to the narrow patn'
Leads surely to the cross.
The human race tread both tnese
path,
Destined to veal or woe,
II matters little, Of these paths,
But much, of where they go.
Tho ono NAV lead through pleasant
fields,
With little care or strife,
The other, though a thorny one'
May lead to endless life.
Heed we'll the many danger signs,
To earthly pilgrims given,
! Neglect may send soul to death,
Obedience-to heaven.
You cannot shun these warning signs
Without eternal loss,
'For the only way to heaven,
Is the royal way of the cross"

BOYS GET IN BAD

Two young men of this city
of the ages from Is to II
have come to grief. 1t devel-
ops that from the various
places where they have been
employed they have purloined
articles varying from cigarett-
es and jewels to typewritcrs.
Most of the loot has been re-
covered and the district attorn-
ey has paroled the young men
to appear before the juvenile
court in Del Norte Saturday
morning. 1t is to be hoped
that the entire facts regarding
all the petty thievery existent
in this city can be developed
and should the further exis-
tence of fences" be establish
ed, who habitually prey upon
the weakness of such young
folks, they should be appre-
hended and drastic punish
ment be administered.
1t is matter of regret that
the facts cannot be published
at this time, but it is hoped
that after the hearing the en-
tire story may be given full
publicity so that it may serve
as a public warning to other
like minded persons.
About twenty boxes of Gig
ars, which retail at two for
twenty-five cents, have been
recovered after having been
sold by the boys at two cents
each or less.

last week in September and
have appointed Mr.. Chisholm
Of Del Norte and the county
agricultural agent Mr.. HYATT

of the articles.
Mr.. Hyatt says they are es-
pecially desireous of obtaining

some of the longest pea vines
grown here.
All sheaves of grain must
be at least four inches in

to farmers that before cutting
they secure some of their fin
est specimens for the fair.

hears from outside people that were

seems to be the concensus OF opinion
that the city should obtain the old
fair grounds and make permanent

mediation OF the big crowd.
The Stampede was the result OF
hearty cooperation OF the people OF
this progressive community and
shows the team work by the officers
and personnel OF the Monte vista
