The More You Say the More
You Have to Say; Keep Still

DON'T you know people who never
u get frightened-so they say? No
matter how bad the storm and how
terrific the lightning or the wind
they weren't a bit afraid. However,
they do a great deal Of talking about
their bravery as if they were repeat
Ing it TO assure themselves. They al
ways have a lot to say about what
they would have done under different
circumstances. or what they would
have done in the other persons place
They forget that the best way to judge
what you can do IS to consider what
YOU are doing. What you have done
or what you viii do is a different
thing.

after the danger IS over is the one
who has the most to say. It's the
person who is caught doing something
that seems hardly brave-little trifIes
like running in the opposite direction
who finds it necessary to testify TO
the wisdom of his act He has much
to say about the responsibility he
owes his family; therefore, he be-
lieves in playing safe"
Even heroes have the right to be
frightened. The stuff that makes a
hero Is the will that overcomes the
fright In the emergency, if you feel
short of hero stuff and long on ner-
vousness, remember TO conceal your
feelings as well as yourself. Hero
ism and success don't need explana-
tons.

A guy says: | married a widow

father visited our house very Of
ten and fell in love with my step
daughter and married her. So
my father became my son-in-law
and my step-daughter my mother,
because she is my fathers wife.
Soon after, my wife had a son.
He is my fathers brother-in-law
and my uncle, for he is brother
of my step-mother, my father s
wife, my step-daughter. Ny step
daughter also had a son. He is,
of course, my brother and also
my grandson, for he is the son of
my daughter. My wife is my
grandmother because she is my

same time, and as the husband of
a persons grandmother is his
grandfather, I am my own grand

the reception it held in the church

The bad weather did not pre-.

program committee provided a
series of lively and interesting

carried on with jest that be-
spoke well the clevemess of the

A number that stood out in
general favor, and was yet typi-

test whilh was carried on in the
progressive fashion of party gam

vote was taken to decide who of

WEIGHT OF THE GREAT OCEANS.


1t has been stated that people are
as ignorant of the size Of the sea as
they are of matters dealing with as
tronomy. Few are aware, for in
stance, that the Pacific ocean covers
100000 miles; the Atlantic 3d.
100000 miles, and the Indian
ocean, Arctic and Antartic, 42,000,-
900 miles. TO stow the contents OF
the Pacific it would be necessary to
fill tank one mile long, one mile
wide and one mile deep, every day
for 44O years. Put in figures, the
Pacific holds in weight 984,000, 00O,-
900, 900, 100000 tons. The Atlantic
averages depth Of hot quite three
miles. It's waters weigh 325,0O0,-
900, 900, 100000 tons and tank to
contain it would have each of its
sides 43O miles long. -Tit-Bits.

THE REAL ISSUE

Whether the proposition to erect a
memorial building in the Park car
ries today or is defeated, Is not a
matter OF tremendous moment, for is-
sues like this come and go and are
forgotten. Indeed the matter has
been invested with highly exagger-
ated Importance by the frantic oppo-
eition that has developed towards 1t.
And there is the pitiable, dtplora-
Bile thing. 1t has come to pass In
Lakeland that no movement, however
harmless or insignificant in itself, can
be launched but that forthwith the
forces of jealousy, envy and djscorG
are brought into play, and every eff
fort Is used to create division and
dissension among people who ought
to be friendly and united.
It was not ALWAYS this way Only
within the past three or four years
has the foul breath of suspicion been
cast on every project that is advanced
for the public good. Prior to that
time men who wanted to do some sim
cere civ icservice, could offer to do
sovwithout, their motives being .ques-
toned. their characters maligned, and
without being forced to endure all
kinds Of personal abuse as penalty
Tor their disposition to perform the
functions or honorable citizenship.

(By J.. c.. Sellers)
One year in Florida is equal, In ac-
complishment, to three years on the
Northern or Western farm where the
weather conditions are unfavorable
to more than comparatively short
season of each year being possinble
for out-of-door, or farm work and soil
cultivation. This Is why recent
writer, competent observer and
practical farmer, sums up the condi.
lions that are responsible for "the in
coming food Of Florida farmers" for
the reason that big capital is coming
| to the state and thousands of acres
are being developed which have never
felt the stimulation of the plow."
The writer here quoted makes the
tprovable claim that "a years accom-
plishment on Florida farm repre-.
sents three years of Northern agricul-
tural effort"
Any one who has lived sufficiently
long in Florida to become thoroughly
familiar with farming and live stock
conditions in the state knows that the
writer above quoted has no difficult
task to prove the truth Of what he
asserts. In large section of Florida
| 1t is possible to show ample evidence
Of the fact that every day Of every
year something useful and necessary
in tn food line is growing and being
harvested. In no section of Florida
is the growing season less than three
hundred days Of the year. This state.
ment implies diversity Of fruits and
farm crops as well as heards of stock,
cultivation Of the former being inter.
rupted but rarely on account Of wealth
err conditions which are also such as
to permit cattle to be outs of doors
the year through.
4 True, there are, perhaps, two
months in the year when cattle and
hogs need special feeding, but even
then forage crops are available in the
field or by means of the silo. Expen-
lsive shelters are not at all necessary
for any month of the year in Florida.
Leguminous crops, SO necessary for
cattle, are grown more abundantly
and in greater variety in Florida than
in any other state In the Union. And
this solves the live stock feeding prob
lem. The buying Of expensive feeds
and the maintenance of costly hous.
ing for live stock are two prime fac.
Ors vastly in favor of Florida.
