sIDELiGHTs ON THE CANDIDATE
FOR CLERK

This isn't political boost; but
when new man throws his hat into
the ring people want to know some
thing about the fellow. That's right.
Most everybody in the county knows
Mr.. Jas. e. Thomas of Sparr, the lat
est entry into the race for clerk. And
quite a number know Mrs. Thomas.
but to some they are yet practically
unknown
A great deal of force was brought
to bear on Mr.. Thomas by friends
from all sections of the county to in
duce him to make the race for tax as
SCISSOR. But he never did yield tc
their requests in this particular. The
past week, however, his announce
ment occurs as candidate for the of
wee of clerk of the circuit court.
Mr.. Thomas was born at Pine some
forty years ago, and he has been Q
resident of Marion county all his life.
His father, Captain Charles Thomas,
was a lifelong resident of Marion
with the possible exception of very
few OF his minor years. and was the
dynamic force that made famous the
"Old Horseshoe Farm" at Pine, one of
the fine old homes and farms and live
stock interests of the county. Captain
Charles Thomas was an ideal citizen,
always a leader in educational, relig
ious and industrial affairs. He waA
man who gave to his friends politi
cally very fine service, and asked
naught in return. He always liked to
see a deserving man go to the top,
and would help him if the fellow
tried to help himself.
Mr. Jas. E. Thomas, the candidate
for clerk, is congenial gentleman
He is efficient, accommodating, and
always ready, night or day, to serve
his friends in any kind of call.
Mrs. Thomas is the daughter of the
late Rev. and Mrs. l. W. Boring, a fine
old Georgia family, who moved from
that state to Florida some thirty-five
years ago and settled at Pine.
Mrs. Thomas is most estimabl
lady, possessing friends by the mum
Der of acquaintance She has always
had a natural talent for leadership,
and her services in the community,
the church and Sunday school and the
Woodmen Circle have been the happy
result of good accomplishment She
is faithful to neighbors in sickness
and trouble never firing in doing
good.
In appearance Mr.. and Mrs. Thorn
as make up most handsome couple
In fact they are exceptions in this re-
spect, as one scarcely ever sees two
as handsome people yoked together
in married life.
There have come to bless this home
six very fine children. The first thref
were boys, and all promase to make
excellent men and bring continued
success to the name they bear. The
last three are girls, and Will bless th'
home with beauty and intelligence.
Next year, when Mr.. Thomas move
to Ocala goes into the Office as cler
of the circuit court-there will never
have moved more interesting family
into the old Brick City, and as they
take their natural places into the va
rious channels of society, educational,
religious and Industrial, it will be al
mutual blessing benevolently bestow
led.
A NEIGHBOR AND FRIEND.

"In all our thoughts for other PEG

in KANSAS.

In Kansas, when Old Booze went
out, there was some wailing rouno
about. "Our fathers" some folks
would complain, they fought Tor
liberty in vain; the boon for which
they shed their blood is on the blink,
it's name is Mud" A little while
they raised their fuss, and never
missed a chance to cuss the tyranny
that banished booze, and queered The
rights men hate to lose. But soon
they found that they were bores;
men wearied of their useless roars.
And so they talked of other themes,
and in their trance dreamed saner
dreams, and in little while, CAD
cooks, they learned to like the bab-
bling brooks, from which they need
not blow the foam, which sent them
sober to their home. And no one
thought or talked of booze, of gaudy
Tags or princely stews. And those
who worried days and nights because
of our denatured rights, who wildly
gnashed rebellious jaws, now yelled
for still more drastic laws. Thus
will it be the country Ger, when
time has healed the spirits sore OF
dead game sports who now complain
becauee their only drink is ram.

Parcel-post shipments from the
United States to foreign countries
aggregated 17,102,131 pounds in
1919, and thus far in the current
fiscal year about one-third OF that
total has already been reached. The
volume Of parcel-post> shipments to
foreign countries in 1919 was 49,
900 600 pounds greater than that
for 1912.
At the beginning of President Will
sons term of Office in March, 1913,
parcel-post packages could be sent
from the United States to but forty
four foreign countries in the entire
world, and the maximum weight was
IL pounds. The service has since
been extended to 1870 nations and
colonies, and to fifteen Of these coun-
tries, including the biggest custom
ers the United States has in Latin
America and the Orient, it is now
permitted to send parcels weighing
s22 pounds, and to one of them
Panama-as much as so pounds.

Woman Suffrage has almost
reached its goal, as West Virginia s
favorable action last week, in ratify-
ing the proposed amendment, made
"a States that have ratified the
Nineteenth Federal Suffrage Amend-
ment. Only two more States are
needed to assure women the right to
vote throughout the United States in
the Presidential election this fall.
The two States in which carly
action is assured are Delaware and
Washington, the Legislatures OF
which have been called to meet in
special session on the same day,
March %.
1t is generally conceded that
Washington, a suffrage State, will
ratify promptly.
This will leave Delaware as the
pivotal State. If she ratifies, suf-
frage will have won; if she rejects,
the suffragists will have to look for
another State.

Testing Roads for Heavy Travel.

State highway departments are
vitality interested in the successful
outcome of comprehensive expert
ments and tests now being made by
the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agrl-
culture. One State engineer recent
ly declared that millions of dollars in
his State are involved in the proper
design of road surfaces, which
makes up one of the problems beng
investigated by the Federal engi-
neers.
The coming into general use OF
the heavy motor aruck has practical
ly revolutionized the science of road
building. Big new problems came
when loads weighing 10 to Is tons
took the place of vehicles that
placed a weight one-fourth as much
or less. The roads built 10 years
ago were constructed before this fact
could be realized-which is one OF
the reasons why many permanent
roads have proved to be imperman-
ent.
One of the testing experiments
being made by the Federal bureau
involves the use of a 49-section road
way in the Arlington larm, owned by
the Department of Agriculture. Each
section was built from different
type of material, or with different
method of construction. The same
use is given to each section, so that
eventually the type of construction
best suited to heavy traffic will prove
itself.

Farming Population Needs Encour

Farming is a steadily advancing
business occupation in the United
States and must be treated as such
and provided for nationally, Secre-
tary David F. Houston says.
There will be farmers enough, !"
he said, ''if the business of farming
is made profitable and If rural life is
made attractive and healthful. The
consumers must be willing to pay
prices for farm products which will
enable farmers to produce them and
to maintain satisfactory standard
of individual and community life
The nation must, therefore, be pre-
pared to omit nothing to improve
the countryside, It is Of the first
Importance that satisfactory schools
be provided, good roads be. construc-
ted, and that adequate provision be
made to give rural communities the
requisite sanitary and medical SER
vices, including hospital facilities"

Why Colds Are Dangerous,

You are often told to beware of
a cold, but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for
the more serious diseases. People
who contract pneumonia first take
cold The longer a cold hangs on,
the greater the danger, especially
from the germ diseases, as a cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the germs of
consumption, diphtheria, sea ar e t
fever and whooping cough. The
quicker you get rid of your cold, the
less danger of contracting one of
these diseases. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has great reputation as a
cure for colds and can be depended
upon. 1t is pleasant to take.

Arbor pay.

Friday, April 9th, has been desig-
mated by proclamation of the Cover
nor as Arbor Day. On this Gay we
are asked to plant trees around the
home, on the school grounds, ana
along the highways. This year, the
day is to have special significance
in the planting of memorial trees
for those who made the supreme
sacrifice in the world war. me
State Board of Education is urging
the celebration of the day by all
public schools and suggesting the
planting of memorial trees. The
State Board of Forestry, Baltimore,
Maryland, will supply the trees from
the State Forest Nursery at cost OF
growing them, and give advice as 10
kinds to use and method of planting.
The importance of Arbor Day is
emphasized by the growing scarcity
of timber and high prices of lumber
We must be tree growers" IL we
are to be tree users" And above
all is the thought that in planting
trees we are planting for posterity-
we are doing an unselfish act that
will make the home surroundings,
the school grounds, or the highways
more beautiful for those who come
after us.
Arrangements should be made well
in advance of Arbor Day in order to
have the trees ready, the place for
planting selected, the holes dug, and
rich soil for filling in about the roots
provided. This Arbor Day should be
one of lasting memory by planting
trees that shall be in fact livin8
monuments for the planters as we'll
as those for whom they are planted.

Some of the women of this county

They will have votes in every contest

will be the equal of men in every

ago woman was considered d frail

The Real Menace.

1t is not organized labor which
threatens the future of this country
Neither is it the insatiate greed OF
capitalism. Without organization
labor would be underpaid and under
fed. without the capitalist there
would be no adequate avenues for
employment of labor. Both must
survive. But the menace with
which we must cope is the alien
parasite who has fastened himself on
organized labor and is daily eating
out the heart of the great American
republic.
These radicals FROM other lands
are in a majority of cases not even
citizens of our country. They are
not loyal to our institutions nor to
the true interests of the organiza-
tions to which they have attacked
themselves. They are alien agita-
tors and destroyers- more.
They preach their pernicious doc
trines and prey upon the susceptible
tiles of others with the sole idea in
view of creating discord and dis
ruption for. their own individual adj
vantage. They would displace the
intelligent leadership of labor or
CARNATIONS and usurp the seat or
authority for themselves. And they
are succeeding in these nefarious
undertakings to an alarmingly won
derful degree.
