SUCCESSFUL HousEkEEPERs.

Talking about successes in this world,
how many of us ever stop to consider
the great successes our home-keepers are.
You hear of the successful doctor, the
lawyer who mounts to the top through
sheer courage to succeed, or the business
man who carries his business to the
heights in this world, but how few ever
hear the story of the woman, mother of
a heuseful of youngsters, with scant
means at her command. who makes
sweet and beautiful home for her loved
ones. 1t takes management, business
ability, the greatest tact in the world,
unlimited endurance, great devotatton
and never-failing love. This seems
tremendous lot, but on every hand are
just such little women. and the odd thing
about it is to look at them You never
know by word or look that they are filling
the above specifications, and more.
Eight hours a day? Rather make 1t
twenty-four, for that is the average time
a home maker works. For night brings
its duties of nursing the babies and
seeing that no harm comes near.
All praise to our home-makers! May
they live to a day when their occupation
will be publicly recognized and credit
rendered during their busy lives.-Mari-
anna Times Courier.

A DAILY MESSAGE

ONCE EVERY Sc YEARS.
Rv Dr William = Barton,

The unit of American history is sc
years, and its day of destiny is April
10.
In 1903, Queen Elizabeth died. the
date being March "a She was succeed
by James I, who left Scotland April D.,
and arrived in London about April 10,
for his coronation of Stuart. and his
obstinacy drove the Pilgrim Fathers to
America.
What happened Sc years later?
On April 10. 1889, Edmund Andres,
the hated representative of the Brit
ish government. saw the sun rise over
Boston harbor through the bars of the
portfolio of the ship which later took
him hack to England. The revolt
which unseated Andres was the be-
ginning of the spirit that later made
the colonies independent.
What happened Sc years later? On
April 10, 1775 occurred the battles of
Lexington and Concord. This was the
first bloodshed of the Revolution.

FISHING LAWS.

Shall the law be enforced or shall we
all go Bolshevic.
We understand there was law passed
by the Legislature of 1919 prohibiting
fishing in any way in any Of the fresh
water streams and lakes of Escambia and
Santa Rosa counties during the months
OF April and May.
This is good law as experience in the
past year shows and why should it not be
enforced. We are told that people are
violating this law every day 6efying the
officers and the law and yet go unpunsh-
ed. OrLy few arrests and the law ap
piled and it will cure this evil.
Have not the officers taken oath 10
arrest and bring before the courts all
violations Of the laws of the State and
County? Then why not set busy?
To allow some people to violate one law
and go unpublished is to induce others -
do the same and to gradually lose re
spect for all law.
right to do anything you please If you
don't get caught at it. This has beer
taught and practlced by older people until
many of the young ones believe it.
Many say others are fishing, why rot l?
With as much consistency, I might cay.
Others are stealing. lying, making and
selling shinney, then why not l." No
person has any right to violate any Of
the laws. but all should be tried out to
see whether or not they are good laws.
But il the law is not going to be enforc-
ed, then let us ask our legislators to
repeal them and give tho honest man
chance as we'll as the Bolshevist.

REVELATIONS

What Mrs. Cosgrove Told Madoe
About Her Famous Brothers

BY ADELE


The very air Of the Cosgrove farm

her denunciation of the woman who
had ruined her brothers life. All

that the man whose hands had ere

was chatting his life away in the little
hidden enclosure but a few rods from
where we sat.

time before the break came she said.
Before that girl came into his life he
had come to us often, and he left these
pictures with me from time to time.
Some day, after 1 am dead, they'll
make your fortune he used to say
with a gloomy gayety that frightened
me. He was always so disappointed
over his work-poor Robert!
But after he was married he was
either ashamed to come to me or she
wouldn't let him. I have never decid-
ed which was the reason. At any rate
I heard nothing from him for months
when one Of his friends poorer even
than himself, come to us and told us
that for some time Robert had been in
a sanitarium, supported by the cOntri-
buttons of some Of his friends each of
whom needed every dollar Of his own
slender means. The treatment more
over had done Robert no good, and he,
having found by a search through
Roberts things, that I was his sister,
came to me to see what was to be done.
II had no means to keep him in the
sanitarium. and 1 could not bear to
have him sent TO a state institution.
This place was a great deal lonlier
then even than now, so Mr.. Cosgrove
fixed up that little green house and the
kennels, and built the little house. He
gave it out that he was raising rare
flowers and blooded dogs, and got
quite a reputation for crankfness and
srobishness because he wouldn't let
people inspect his greenhouse.

IMMORTALITY IN SCHOOLS.


A prominent educator said, the other
day that immortality is the greatest men
ace of the public schools today. He sees
grave dangers ahead as the result of lax
standards of dress, of amusement and
parental control
Responsibility for this condition he and
others, acquainted with present day con-
ditions, place at the door of the parents.
Girls are allowed to dress improperly and
SUCCESSFULLY. Boys and girls are allowed
to dance in ways that tend to lower moral
standards. Uuseemly hours are condor
ed and the unlimited use Of the family
car contributes its share to the Gemoraii-
zing total.

yer, 1T would seem that we do not care
what our children do or where they are
so long as they do not bother us"
II is a grave Indictment. But not too ex-
treme on the other hand the condition
is not hopeless. The remedy lies in

those least able to- pay it and least

to spend for the unessentials ought to
pay larger share of the cost of gov

PRESS COMMENT
MR.. HAYS AND HIS
IMPROVEMENT IDEAS

Nheh WIN Hays assumed charge of the
Postoffice Department he had a great
zeal to say to the reporters about his
plans to humanize the governmental de-
partment and to place it on an efficiency
basis. The public was almost convinced
that the change would take place over
night, and the postmaster-gene in all
likelihood had confidence enough in him
self to believe that the public was not far
wrong, but if the Postoffice Department
was ever a slip-shod institution It is no
better now, despite the change in its head
Complaints on the service are still being
Registered in as large volumn as before
1t will never operate to the satisfaction of
everybody, since the public is inclined TO
shift the responsibility for its own mis-
takes, and this feature necessarily must
be taken into consideration, for it is ex-
tremely important and has direct bear
ing upon tens of thousands of delays

as newspaper offices and agencies know
better perhaps that any other class OF
business concerns. Each individual has
his own experiences with the delays in
