LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THY
SELF

An obscure paragraph in the items
from one of our county correspondents
last week read as follows:
"Mr. B. L. Russ has been i'll for
some time. The neighbors come To-
gether Tuesday of this week and plant
CO for, him Is or 20 acres of corn
And we thought when we read this
paragraph how neighborly this act
was. Think of the poor man lying
flat of his back from sickness, and
planting time came and was passing.
No doubt he had been worrying over
the fact that if he did not get better
soon he would have no chance to
make a crop this year. The neigh
bors came together Tuesday and plant
ed for him IS or 20 acres of corn. "
God bless the neighbors of Jefferson
county! They are real neighbors.-

TAXES

AS a few million American citi-
zens bite their penstaffs over income
tax returns, some OF them may re-
call a prophecy of Sydney Smith,
made exactly century ago. In re-
viewing a volume entitled THE Stat
istical Annals of the United States, .
theIfwtty parson contracted our free
dom from onerous taxation and crush
ing public debt with the terrible
legacy of both left to Great Britain
by the Napoleonic wars. One pas
sage in this clever review got into
American school reading books of
two or three generations ago. and was
familiar to some millions Of American
children. 1t is worth recalling now
because the picture Of tax-ri6den
Britain drawn by Sydney Smith needs
but change of title to illustrate our
oMA condition. He warned Brothel
Jonathan that some future war might
bring him to John Bulls condition
thus dramatically summarized:
Taxes up every article which enters
into the mouth, or covers the back or
is placed under foot-taxes upon
everything which is pleasant to see,
hear, feel smell or taste-taxes upon
warmth, light, locomotion . taxes
on the raw material-taxes on every
fresh value that is added to it by the
industry of man-taxes on the sauce
which pampers mans appetite and the
drug that restores him to health-On
the ermine which decorates the judge,
and the rope which hangs the criminal
--on the poor mans salt, and the rich
mans Spleen the brass nails of the
coffin and the ribbons of the bride-at
bed or boad, couchant or levant, we
must pay The school boy whips his
taxed top-the beardless youth man
ages his taxed horse with a taxed
bride, on a taxed road-and the dying
Englishman pours his medicine, which
has paid per cent. into spoon
which has paid Is per cent.-flings
himself back on his chintz bed, which
has paid % per cent.-and expires in
the arms Of an apothecary who has
paid a hundred pounds for the privi-
lege of putting him to death.

ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN

A special from Moore Haven to the
Tampa Times, says:
Gov. Cats, who has been assail-
ing the Catholic religion in other parts
of the state, changed his political tao
tics when he came to Moore Haven
Thursday. Previous TO his address in
the evening he accepted hospitality
at the home of Capt. and Mrs. ]. j.
O'Brien, and invited Capt. O'Brien,
who is a devout Catholic, to sit on
the platform with him and TO make
a speech for him.
The speaking was opened by Bap-
tist minister, Rev. Mr.. Walden, who
had few things to say about Cath
olicism. Capt. O'Brien, who intro
duced the governor, told his hearers
that he was not ashamed Of the fact
that he was a Catholic. He said he
favored Cats because he believed the
governor could get the waterways
that Moore Haven needs.
Gov. Cats kept away from religious
issues in his address, and signalled
out Florida newspapers for bitter
attack. He predicted that the news
paper men of Florida would be cast
into hell, everyone of them, but par
ticularly the owners OF the Tampa
Tribune and the Jacksonville Times

THE MOST POWERFUL FORCE ~
THE WORLD

Many years ago two boys were EN-
ployed in banks located at opposite
ends of London. The daily job OF
each was to carry to the other bank
whatever checks his bank held against
the other.
Wen. one day the boys met midway,
compared checks and found they bal
anced.
whats the use of my going all the
way to your bank and you going all
the wav to ours?" asked one boy OF
the other. Lets exchange checks
right here"
And so they did. each returning %
his own bank. carrying the cheeks
from the other.
From this very simple arrangemeH'

H. Rose, state chemist, is
one Of the conspicuous figures in at

about Florida being able to furnish
her share of the worlds sugar supply.
He says Marion county likewise can
do her share. With central station
in Ocala with motor trucks for deliver
les, a great industry could be built up
here that would add to the growth of
the town and the wealth of her citi-
Izens. Less than century ago ne
says that 90 per cent of the sugar
crop of the world was produced from
sugar cane. 1t can be done again.

"The engrayings. or cuts, are
made by photography, or photo

lures. Two kinds of cuts are used
in newspapers. One. which is COM

called a line engraving or line etch
ing. The other kind which prints
a picture with shades or gray, like
a photograph, is called a halftone
engraving. +r ~
These line engrayings are made
like this: An artise draws the pic
lures in ink on white paper. Then
the engraver pins the drawing to
the wall or an upright board and
takes picture of it in large
camera plate or negative just
about as we do kodak film. To
finish the job of making a kodak
picture, we would place the, mega
tive and some sensitized photo
graph paper in frame and allow
light to pass through to print the
picture on the paper. The engrayer
does about the same thing except
that. instead of using sensitized
paper. he uses sheet of zinc COW

We to Light. That is. he prints
his picture on a zinc plate.

Second-Sleep and live regularly
During the season, one needs steady
nerves and plenty of pep" You
need at least nine hours regular
sleep, 1000 p. M. to 700 A. M, or
better still 900 to 900. Of course
this means social sacrifices. En-
durance comes with good breath
ing apparatus. Therefore treat
your lungs with plenty of fresh air.
Do away with the close and stuffy
bedroom and insist on well venti-
lated class room.
Third-Condition your physical
machine by daily exercises. Make
your. practice work short and snap
py. An hour and a half is more
than enough time to spend in your
gymnasium suit. Many fellow
over does the physical part of the
training, by putting in too long
hours of practice. He becomes
stale working at half speed.
The daily program of condition
ing should include: ~ Warming
up exercises as passing, pivoting,
dribbling and basket shooting not
over 80 minutes. (2) Two short
scrimmage periods say IL to Is
minutes each or once a week one
long slow period of 30 minutes
steady plugging. (3) End up the
session in corrective work, as spec
ial guarding exercises or certain
basket shooting stunts as free
throwing, etc. ~.

very EARLY become too strenuous
for a growing boy. 1t is better not
to work enough than to overwork.
