America first" and the German slogan 'Dutchland Uber Allies" were debated by the governor at Tripp. with a man in the audience with a decided German accent who declared his op position to the league of nations, say ing that America should take care of herself.
 What was that song they sang in Germany before the war Deutschland Uber Allies?" the governor replied. What was the meaning, that Germany was first above all things, wasn't it?"
 NO, it means "Germany's interests first" the candidate was told
 What happened to Germany" the governor retorted.
 She attempted to be selfish; she created a military machine. As a re- suit she developed the hatred of the rest of the world and what happened to her?
 We ought to have good feeling to- ward every nation in the world. The probability is that Germany will be a member of the league of nations before the year is over. What is good for one nation ought to be good for all nations; the salvation of Germany, the salva' tion of France, the salvation of hu- manity itself is to be conserved by the league of nations. The time has come for civilization to have some common sense and stop wasting its re- sources for the purpose of creating the means of human destruction. That IS what your conscience tells you. What your prejudice tells I do not know"

 The Willys- Knight touring and roadster are reduced from S2,30O 70 $21S5 the coupe. from $2,s50 to $2,sfo and the sedan from $3,050 to $2,945. These prices to be effective at once.
 John N Willys makes the following statement We could not possibly have taken this action unless we felt thoroughly justified in anticipating reduced costs of materials, against which conditions our companies haVs made provision. It has been commented that the automobile business has been profiteering The profit in proportion to the increase in prices has been much less in this industry than prior to the war After two months of personal investigation of conditions abroad am firmly of the opinion that this country cannot hope to develop a healthy business and be able to com pete with foreign markets unless we re-establish merchandise selling prices more nearly on par with the condi- tions existing prior to the war"

INpExING The CITY.

The Wauchula board of trade is con-
Quoting what it terms a sanitary sur
vey of the city. A card for every lot
has been prepared and members of the
board will make house to house can
vass of the town. When the work is
completed the board viii have accur-
ate information as to whether a mans
premises are clean or dirty, whether
his lawn is well kept or not.
The same plan could be carried out
here, and it could be made additionally
effective by preparing a map of the
city with the clean premises blocked
in red, the really bad premises in
black and the helf-and- half places in
some other color
This map could be placed on exhibit
ton, so that all who We're interested
could study the sanitary condition OF
the city. AS fast as premises were
cleaned up and reported the coloring
on the map could beSchanged.
1t would not be many days before
the entire map would be blocked in
red, indicating that every resident had
joined the cleanup crusade.

days be so foolish as to reject the
wisdom born of such long experience
and ruin his fine tools by using gran

great business of sharpening young
peoples braiffs. Surely it is a little
rash and foolish to put your boy opin-
ion against the Judgment of a million
professional experts. Maybe it would
be wiser to complain less and study
more.
(, Does a carpenter going out to work
carry with him an armful of grind
stones? BY emo means. Their work is
done. Their value is now found in the
sharpness of the tools and speeds up
all his work, but the grindstones them
selves are of no further use.

your Latin and algebra and French

you. Their work was done in the

up tasks, rejoicing in the inspiring
truth, that Mind, unlike lifeless steel
grows sharper and sharper the more
you use it.

Houses of Eternity.

This world is no abiding city," said
the old Egyptians; and they built
their houses of bricks of sun dried
mud, which crumbled away and LETT no
trace. But their tombs-"houses of
eternity" they called them-weTe
built of granite and basalt and hard
limestone, to last forever. Today, after
more than five Thousand years, the
pyramids and the giant sphinx that
keeps guard at the entrance to the
vast place of tombs still stand, as
deathless as the unquiet desert that
tries to engulf them in its tides But
the secret chambers of the pyramids,
where the mummied bodies of the
kings lay buried, have long since been
rifled of the splendid trappings left
there for the 'Ka," or "other self" of
the deceased to enjoy when he tired
of the shades in the kingdom of Osiris
and returned to the dear-beioved
things of life. The royal sarcophagi
have long since been broken open;
the mummies have been stripped OF
their gold and jewels and left to crum-
bic into the eternal dust. The ravished
tonlbs and temples, built secure from
time for gods and for the god-liKs
dead, stand as a reminder that man
is of day and beauty, everlasting

That the West Florida branch OF

balance, and the home would be
obliged TO close
Not only is the home being con-
tinued in its work on credit but some
actual necessities for the children
simply cannot be provided. for the
small amount on hand will not even
cover the bills already due. And moth
ing further can be purchased until
more funds are secured.
Few Of the children have even one
change of clothing. many are in i'm
mediate need of shoes. and practically
none of the children have warm un-
derwear. And there is insufficient bed
clothing and night garments.
In addition to these crying and i'm
mediate needs, the home needs badly
some curtains for the reception room.
/, equipment for the school room, car
pets for some OF the halls, furniture
and furnishings for the detention
room which is vacant, entirely. An
additional dining room table and chairs
are a positive necessity. There is not
a picture on wall in the home. The
children have no playground equip
ment whatever, nor any indoor games,
no dolls, no wagons and only a few
books in the library.
Jellies. preserves, syrup. vegetables,
fruit meat and staple provisions
would all be warmly welcomed. And
IL there are any groups Of women or
young ladies who will be willing 70

necessities which must be provided
