OLIVE SPRINGS

Little Ruth Ella Daniel was born
into the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jessie
L. Daniel April Is, 1919, and after
stay of three months, which seemed
entirely too short, she went home to
heaven on July %, at 6 o'clock. She
was sick all her little life. The ply
sicians and loved ones did all they
could to keep her longer but the ALI
wise Father knew what was best and
needed another angel and called her
home. We can hardly be surprised
at this. Those bright little eyes we
have often thought were too bright
for this earth. God gave her to a
loving father and mother just long
enough for them to get so much in
terested in her that they might con-
tinue to look the way she went until
God calls for them to go and be with
her. May those bright little eyes OF
Ruth Ellis as they continue to be
seen in our minds today be a little
light hung out the very windows OF
heaven to guide father, mother, Sis
ter and two brothers safely home.
Nav the bereaved family have such
faith as will enable them to lay hold
of the promises that bring comfort
and such hours Of darkness. Funer-
al services were conducted from the
home on Thursday morning at 10
o'clock by Rev. Geo. V. Crow in the
presence of large host of relatives
and friends. Three very favorite
hymns were sung by Misses Bertha
and Esther Reed, R. V. Daniel, Pearl
and May Shirley with Miss Eva
Thomas at the piano. The floral Of

COAL SHORTAGE
 IN ENGLAND HAS
 STARTED QUEUES


 LONDON.-Coal queues, the ter TOT of the poor of London, have again made their appearance be- cause of an acute shortage in the coal supply. and thousands upon thousands of persons have been daily standing in line in the hope of getting enough coal to keep some kind of fire going in their humble homes.
 4 coal queue is an interesting sight. Early in the morning the number of customers appearing at some distributing point exceeds the number being disposed of by the coal merchant. So they line up, in the order of their arrival, and pa- tiently wait until they are supplied. or are told by the merchant that he has no more-by no means an infrequent development
 They buy in small quantities for two reasons-some of them have little money to invest in coal al existing high prices, while the second cause is the lack of means to remove large quantities. Often perambulators provide the vehicle, but more often the purchaser tucks his 'black diamonds away in an old basket, and hurries on his way.
 Ii the dealer is so fortunate as to have g ton or two of coal the queue will be maintained for hours in the biting cold. If his supply is short. he is soon sold out. and the queue dissolves only to be re- formed al some other place in the hope of finding more coal
 It often happens that persons of means approach the dealer and offer hig prices for quantities out of all proportion to the supply, and il is often recorded that the dealer will refuse the temptation, because he knows that his trade IS among the people who are his regular GUS toners, the poor of the neighborhood and they will not forget him when he has abundant coal to sell If he discriminates in favor of a casual but richer person
 So poor and rich alike have been suffering and shivering, because no one really expected the temperature 10 drop as sharply as it has within the past few days. The winter to this time has been open and wet and sickeningly chilly, but not so cold as to cause actual suffering. even with short fuel supply. But with the mercury lowering around 20 degrees above zero, "12 degrees Of frost" they call it here. coal is a necessity.
 The shortage Of :oal iS ascribed to number of reasons, chiefly the dilatory work of the miners who , have demanded a six hour working day, and the scarcity Of railroad ears. Coal supplies in all centers of population are far below normal, and there is no prospect of an inn ] mediate improvement in the situa- tion. Many persons have sought other means of keeping warm One old man and hs wife, they are over eighty, have been in bed for a week because they have TO ] coal in the house, and their daugh- ter cares for them. Children also are being kept between blankets with success, but the sturdy of the city must bear the burden as well as they can, with mighty little pros pect of relic until the railroads are in better position, or the balmy days of spring come to chase away the necessity for artificial heat

WHAT ABOUT FL0RIDAl

Mr.. L. H. Cammack, Lakeland
winter resident, has peeved Joe Ear
man with his book, What About
Florida?' The last issue of the Palm
Beach Post says:
what About Florida?" with
very large Interrogation point was
the title of book issued in 1916 by
Chicago publishing house. It was
the announced purpose of the author,
L. H. Cammack, to make straight
forward statement. The facts re-
duired that so much of good he said
about the state that in order to bal
ance the book the author seems to
have thought it necessary to say
something bad about at least one Sec
ton Of the state. The Everglades
was the region selected for discrim-
nation.
This is what was said about the
Everglades in the book printed three
years ago:
even with drainage the territory
is low. the saw grass is high, the
mosquitoes physically gigantic in
size, the air laden with noxious va
pors at times, the atmosphere heavy
and inert, and there is everything
enervating calculated to depress."
Well, If that was the case three
years ago, three years have, worked
wondrous change!
Time has not changed the elevation
of the territory above sea level-it
is still higher than the coast else wa
ter would not flow east and south
and west, as 1t does. It's appearance
would disappoint a native of the Ar,
kansas Ozarks, for it is level-as lev
ell as a mid-western prairie.
And the saw grass is high at those
points where the vegetation has not
changed, in response to the action Of
drainage, from saw grass to careless
weed, elderberry and myrtle. The
richness Of the muck soil makes the
luxuriant nature of the growth in
evitable. High though the grass was,
the succeeding growths-corn and
cane-are higher still.
And as to the mosquitoes and the
noxious vapors, timeliness is given to
that phase Of it by the fact that the
shore of Lake Okeechobee is gettins
to be famous as summer resort.
The identity of Mr.. Cammack, the
author of the book on Florida, is not
known in West Palm Beach; It is
doubtful IL he ever visited this city.
It is very unlikely that he ever visit
ed the Everglades; to have visited
the Everglades, he would have been
required to enter It through West
Palm Beach, the real gateway TO that
! region. AS his identity is not known,
information Of him is sought. It is
desired to extend to him an invita-
ton to come to the Everglades-to
have him leave whatever sweltering
place he is in now, and have him en-
Joy in the Everglades the cool of
placid days and the pleasure Of hap
Ply nights.
Where he thought were "noxious
yapors and atmosphere heavy and
inert" he will find scented breezes--
assuming that he can distinguish be-
tween he noxious and the scented
and atmosphere of just exactly the
right weight.
His was the conception Of the Ev-
erglades prevalent 20 years ago and
1t is interesting to revert to 1t, If for
no other reason than to have revived
a collection Of the changes made in
far shorter time.

It looks like these men who live
longer than anybody else are never
heard of until they die. In other
words they don't do much else but
live long. However, as that is about
the most important thing Ito theml
they could do, they are perhaps more
worthy of imitation than criticism.
