Get To Work.
We talked with man the other day
who was seeking a home in Florida.
He was not a Northerner and not
city dweller, and was apparently of
average intelligence and had travelled
considerably. Yet this man seeming
" expected to find five acres of Flor
ida soil that would make him indie
pendent without appreciable effort on
his part. He left Bay county to go
further down the state in search of an
easy competence. We fear he will be
disappointed. 1t is strange how other
wise normal people will pursue the
hope that right over in the next county
or around the corner they are going
TO get a nice fat something for moth
ing. Florida is a land of marvellous
opportunities, but it takes an expen-
diture of elbow grease, thought and
some money to cash in on them. All
we claim for Florida is that a we'll
directed expenditure of energy and
capital will produce greater returns
than similar outlay in any other
part of the country of which we have
any knowledge. And that should be
sufficient for anybody.-St. Andrews

Men Of zeal Crit Set An Example.

About year ago, when the Ameri-
can Legion was in process of organ
iZation it went into debt to the extent
Of $257, 000-borrowed money to be
used for the purposes of organization
that was nationwide, a 4stupendous
task that required cash. From
whom was the money borrowed? From
the men among the hundreds of thou
sands who had gone into the war for
purposes of fighting. of defending civ
ilization from destruction at the hands
of Germany and her cohorts. There
was no drive" for funds, no one out
side the fighting men heard of the
contributions that were sought and
made. These men of real grit proved
their ability and their willingness to
finance themselves. Hence, no public
appeal for funds.
Well, the money was raised, over a
quarter of a million dollars, and it's
now all paid back to the lenders, and
this is the first that the public knows
of the matter. That's an example of
seh-help that is altogether unique and
as commendable as it is unusual
OF course, it is generally known that
the men who are members of the
American Legion, and many of those

ters in any sense of the word; neither
are they seekers after charity. But
they are established as men of real
grit, when it comes to fighting in the
cause of their country. Now, by this
revelation as to how they financed
themselves, in the manner and matter
referred to, they have another claim to
be known as men of real grit, and the
claim will be not entitled, by reason
of services with the war or naval
forces of the nation, and as gener-
ously applauded.
1t is known that members of the
American Legion are men of courage
of daring, of the rare ability to do big
things in a big way. and to do it
thoroughly while they are about IT.
They proved 1t during the war where
ever they had chance at the enemy.
They have proved it in the matter re-
ferred to. They are now, in time and
affairs of peace, a power for good as
they were mighty hosts for overcom-
ing the enemy in time of war.
What they have done for themselves
in the matter of providing the s257. 000
for financing their organization. ard

THE cHANTED SHEEPFOLD
The hills faroff were blue, blue,
The hills at hand were brown;
And all the herdbells called to me
As / came by the town.
The briars turned to roses, roses;
Ever we stayed to pull
A white little rose, and red. little

And lock of silver wool.
Nobody heeded-none, none;
And when True Love came by,
They thought him naught but the

Nobody knew but |!
