YOUNG POLK COUNTY rrvErryr

An important invention which
promises to bring forth fame and
wealth to DeSoto county lad has
been devised by Robert L. Golfer OF
Wauchula, son of L. M. Golfer, of the
firm of L. L. Morgan & Sons.
Mr. Golfers, invention is in the ma
ture of an attachment for kodaks
which will permit of making pictures
of different sizes from the same film
For instance. If there are twelve pre-
tures in a film, his invention makes
it possible to- make twelve pictures,
each of a different size.
The device has been patented in
the United States and Canada, and
application has been made for its pat.
ent in several European countries.
Mr.. Golfer has been working on
this device for tha past i've years.
and has only recently perfected it. He
came from Dayton Ohio, with his
father fifteen years ago. and mas IL
ed in Wauchuia since that time.
The young inventor is also inter
ested in a riveting machine which
does the work of four men il ship
building This machine was invent
ed by a Canadian, Emmet Roux. Ihe
two young men have been working
together, Golfer being twent7-three
years Of age and Roux twenty-five
Mr.. Golfer has just returned from
New York. where he has been dem
onstrating his invention &c the East
man and other kodak companies, and
has declined several very ATTRACTIVE
offers for the sale Of mis- lnvention
outright
He is. now at work on mother in
vention which he expects to 53ove
quite as successful as his cam ara Mt
tachment. Arcadia News.

OCALA

We went down to Ocala the other
day. We went on the steam cars"
When we FIRST went there, forty
years ago, we went with horse and
buggy. The Brick City" had no
railroad then, and Gainesville, forty
miles away, was the nearest railroad
station.
But that is TOO long ago to talk
about. The progressive" editors
and paragraphers Of the Florida
press now say it is real boresome and
uninteresting to talk about ancient
things like that
The only man we saw there the
other day who was there on our first
visit was Frank Harris, OF the Ocala
Banner We call MIN the Nestor of
the Florida press, and SO far as the
length of time he has been running
a newspaper is concerned, he is the
Nestor, because ne started the Ban
ner in 1866 So far as age is con-
cerned, however, he does not look
like any Nestor at9all. He is as spry
and alert as. ever We spent pleas
ant half hour chatting with him and
his noble soldier son:
And we spent another half hour
with those wide awake gentlemen.
Messrs Benjamin and Leavengood,
Of the Evening Star They keep it
twinkling ali right, and they are
wonderfully clever gentlemen.
Ocala is one of Florida's cities of
its class that, like Gainesville. keeps

They Were at Their Best.

"'You may boast said the voice,
but not too much for I want to do
some of it myself
.sThen the fields noticed that the
voice came from the direction of the
clover hay field.
"'Oh, ho,' said winter wheat, so
clover hay wants to do some talking
Certainly said clover hay.
"'Well, what have you to say for

"'Quite lot, said clover hay.
"'Pray tell us what it is them the

was much f1attered to be especially
noticed.
"'But have a special distinction
said clover hay.
"'What is clover hay talking aboutY
the others asked.
"Don't use such big words said
the barley. Fields don't understand
" I mean that I have something spe-
cial to boast of, said clover hay, so I,
don't want all of you to take up the
whole summertime in boasting.
All, we see.' said the oats, clover
hay doesn't want us to boast so it can
get a good chance at it.
Right said clover hay. You're
perfectly right
What are you going to boast
aboutY asked the winter wheat.
Myself, of course said clover hay.
"Yes,' it continued, waving about,

The cost Of this house easily can
he ascertained by consulting the local
contractors and material dealer. Ma
terial and labor costs vary in differ
ent localities, but no matter where the
farmer lives he will find that this
house is comparatively inexpensive to
build, while, at the same time, it will
make a comfortable, convenient and
attractive home.
Much has been written and more
has been said about the advantages Of
building modern homes on the farms
When farm home is to be built, how
ever, there is no good reason why It
should not embody the features that
n axe for comfort and ease in doing the
work required to keep it up. When
these advantages are put into de-
sign for farm home, it would seem
foolish to build anything else.
Building a home is something that
most farmers do only once in a life
time. Before building, therefore. it
IS wise to make careful study of
home designs. Consideration should
be given to the size and number of
rooms required; but greater thought
should be expended on making the room
arrangement compact and labor-saving
In this way the new home will be sat
isfactory to everyone who is going to
live in it.
Now is an excellent time to build.
Prices of both material and labor will
not be less for number of years to
come, If in this generation. Just so
long as foodstuffs cost as much as they
do now, labor, which is more than 80
per cent of the cost of building, will
require living wages. Those wages will
come down only when the price of food
is reduced, condition that no pro-
Queer wants to see.

DADDY'] EVENINGS
FAIRY TALE Il
THE FIELDS.
6y hary Graham Bonner me!

1T was in the summer time that the
fields were waving and chatting and
saying these things to each other OF
course they were at their best and the
season had been just right for them.
There had been enough rain but
not too much, enough sunshine but
not too much. In fact, it had been
quite perfect season so far.
"The fields always spoke of things
having been nice SO far for they never
knew what the weather was going to
be any more than the farmers did, and
they heard the farmers talking in that
way to each other.
$50 the fields used to wonder If it
would be dry and without even any
showers for the rest of the season, or
whether it would rain every day and
hurt them!
'But this special day they were feel
ing very well and very happy.
I'm so good for food said the
barley field. i am pretty and feathery,
too
Tn such lovely pale green color
said the oats.
And l am good and substantial
looking said the winter wheat.
81 am very good for the feed of
animals said the oats, and so are

How about me-? asked the sorrel,
a plant with yellowish blossoms.
All right said the oats, but am
such a lovely. shade of green
"'You admire yourself, Ell? asked
the sorrel.
CT do said the oats.
So do l. remarked the winter
wheat.
And I like myself. too said the
barley field. We are liked by Others
it added.
GIVE are, too said the winter
wheat.
"'Ah, ali, ah, don't boast too much,'
said a voice.
"'And who are you, pray tell?' the
fields asked. why shouldn't we boast

Which Of all these memorials is most impressive

The Lincoln highway is an object lesson of
what is and what is to be in a memorial road
More than 5000 miles in length it runs east and
west through the heart of America with giant
north and south feeder highways, Joining the At
Iantic and the Pacific. 1t traverses IL states
Fifteen millions have been expended on 1t in the
last five years. Already there are nearly 400
miles of concrete and brick and paving and more
than 1000 miles of macadam. 1t is in operation
from end to end. 1t carries an endless procession
of Americans in their own automobiles. The
year round it is dotted with freight trucks

ant place for the many duties that can
he performed out of doors in the sum-
nAer. A second entrance leads from
the porch to the passageway, so that
all the rooms in the house may be
reached without going through the
kitchen.
The bathroom is so located that
there is little expense required to con-
meet it with the water system from
outdoors and from the kitchen range
where the water is heated. Running
water now is found on most farms, and
for this reason the design has been
made so that it can be carried into
the house at little additional cost.
What will appeal to the housewife
in this design is the convenient ar
rangement of the rooms all on the one
Moor. There is no running up and
Gown stairs required in doing the work,
neither are there any unnecessary
steps to be taken in getting from one
room to another.

Wherever they go their characteristic
is this-their shadows always travel
on before them. Most people will not
beal their own burdens, but expose all
their wounds to others. They are so
busy looking down for pitfalls and
sharp stones on which to step that they
do not know that there are stars in
the sky. These people live on the
wrong side Of the street, and yet, If
they would only walk 20 feet to the
other sidewalk, where they would feel
the warmth of the sun, it would mako
all the difference to their feelings.

No Sense In Playinc MARTYR

Affecting the abused mortal won't
keep you from paying the fiddler.
Some folks are always being made to
bear the burden of things-so they
would have you believe. The fact is
so many people can't do really big
days work and they throw in lots of
bluff to make up for the shortage
But the more bluff they use the more
they call attention to what they are.
Air is unstable and the hotter it is the
more it starts things. So beware Of
playing the martyr. There's nothing
in it and the. sooner you give it up the
better. Face the music like man.
Be master of the situation instead of
wilmer.

on the side where the bedrooms are To-
Gated. A screened porch adjoining the

The dimensions of the main part of
the house are SO by % feet, while the
kitchen and porch projection is 20

seen by the accompanying illustration
this home has an attractive exterior.
The gables in the roof of the porch
and the house, the method of applying
the siding and the sleeping porch pro-

excellent design.
Four rooms. living and dining rooms

The living room is large, IL feet 6

One of the exceptional features Of
