Oh stand, and don your cap, and sing,
Sing Of the land we love;
The land OF flowers and birds and
song,
And the blue in the lift above;
Then vow to be true to her sacred
soil,
To her beautiful smiling skies,
We pledge our honor and faith to her,
And the love in our hearts and eyes.
Sing Of her sons beneath tie blue,
Sing of their courage rare.
Sing of the lads, the tried, the true,
Sing of her ladies fair;
We vow. to be true to the valiant souls
That. live meath her tender skies,
Then VOW to the one that we each
love best,
For the love in her heart and eyes.
Sing of her tall and stately pines,
Her lakes and her crystal springs,
Her lordly river, the good st. Johns,
And all of the lovely things
That brighten the land we hold SO
dear,
With the beautiful smiling skies,
And the sea that brings us the love
of God
To gladden. our hearts and eyes.
Then stand and raise your voice and
sing;
Here's to the land we love,
The land of music, and mirth and Joy
As bright as the blue above;
The Florida land We love so well,
With the beautiful dreamy skies,
And all the Florida folks who beam
With love in their hearts and eyes.

element. 1t has offered a way. how
ever, out of a still more embarrassing
situation
The United States, as Secretary
Hughes has insisted. and as every intel
ligent American realizes, has a big stake
in the outcome of the World war. This
country wants little or nothing from the
war in the way of damages or tangible
values. but it does want to see justice
done. for the sake Of international NOR
ality and future peace. and it wants a
square deal for itself along with every
body else There can be no assurance

10 SELLING WITHOUT BUYING.

We have no alternative but to wither
at home unless we go after export trade.
declares former Secretary Of Commerce
Rcdfeld Secretary Hoover. his success
sor. speaks in much the same way.
Statesmen and business men in all the
big industrial countries are saying prac
tically the same thing.
There is no question. among econom-
lists. that foreign trade is very import
ant factor in the present life of every big
nation. One thing about most Of the
foreign trade discussions. however. is odd.
Every nation seems TO be engaged in n
lrcnzicd effort to sell to other nations
without buying anything from them.
Carried to its logical conclusion, this
would mean that any particular nation
would eventually be stripped of commodi-
ties and be loaded up with gold. In the
case of the United States. it would not
take many years of such onc-sided trade
Ito give US all the gold in the world and
IA mortgage on the whole worlds most
desirable real estate. Then. having
shipped our food. clothing, etc, away,
and got nothing in return. we could eat
the gold like Midas
The fact is. of course. that nations
like individuals. get rich not by merely
selling things to otber nations, but by
exchanging things with other nations
what money they receive being only Incl
dental. It is an elementary truth Of
economics, which cannot he too often re-
peatcd, that in a normal business tran
Saction each party benefits, because he
wants what he gets more than he wanted
what he gives for it.
Cur domestic trade shows this clearly

Within our national limits. everybody
understands the philosophy of exchang
ing merchandise. and is sensible about it.
Why should not all the nations be sim
ilarly sensible about exchanging good,

GERMS ON THE MIND.

DO not lead children to think too
much about germs" suggested Miss Patty
Hill of the New Yory City Teachers col
lcgc. in a recent address. 1T is import
ant to teach children 10 be clean and how
to protect the health, but too much mag
iuation is worse than disease. 1t is
worse to have germs on the mind than on
the body"
People of any age who are always
thinking about infections are uncannily
prone to fall victims to them. and if
they do not. their fear keeps them just
as miserable On the other hand, the
person who just goes sensibly about keep
ing well. if he gets a germ, generally gets
rid of it without ever knowing he had it.
Or if it gets too bad for that, he takes
il comfortably to the doctor as the fell
low who. by virtue of study, knows all
about germs and how to cure them.
Children who are trained to fear ill
ness rather than to cultivate health grow
into the kind Of adults who are eternally
taking their own temperatures and count
! ing their own pulses and diagnosing
themselves into every i'll of which they
hear. Such people can actually reduce
themselves to chronic i'll health, to say
nothing of being a bore and an abomina-
/ ton to their friends.
Cleanliness and health for their own
~akes and for the sake of the fun clean.
healthy people get out of life, are the
things to impress upon children.

FREEMAsoNRy IN ENGLAND.
The War Responsible for Many New
Lodges

Frccmasonry Is making great strides
i'm England. says n contributor to the
London Daily Mail. Several hundred
new lodges have been formed during the
past fcw wears. and the war was respon-
siblc for many recruits to the craft. The
governing body is the Grand Lodge Of
England. of which the Duke of Con
naught is the Most Worshipful Grand
Master. Il position which was also held
by the late King Edward VII The pres
ent king is not a Frcemason. but the
Prince of Wales was initiated into the
craft shortly before his recent tour.
So much has Frecmasonry increased
that q scheme has been proposed by the
Grand Master for raising sum of l.
u0G,O0O pounds As a memorial to Free
masons who fell in the war and to pro-
vide adequate offices and accommodations
for the Grand Lodge. English Freema-
sonry is entirely unpolitical and unsec-
tartan.
It is rule of Freemasonry that IL
lodge no book of reference is allowed.
Everybody who. takes his share in the
ceremonies andritual must know his part
by heart and be word perfect i'm it. Thus
if man in evening dress is observed
hurrving along the streets. if he has a
fixed. PARKWAY look about him and is NUT
tcring to himself. one may assume that
he is an officer of his lodge rehearsing
his part. As a man progresses in Ma
sonry he has more and more to learn.
Adequately to fulfill the duties Of mas
terShip of a lodge involves committing to
memory nearly as much as the chief
actor in a -three-act play might have to
learn.
No woman can become a Freemasou
An unauthorized order has been started
among women i'm England who hold
lodges and profess to be in possession of
the secrets of the craft.

DISARM THE TOYSHOPS.

\ woman who is interested in the pro
lection of birds and animals suggests that
parents should refrain from buying toy
guns for their children. as these are al
most always turned upon birds or pet an
finals sooner or later. The idea deserves
attention for more reasons than this
\ gun. even toy one, is potentially
a killing weapon. That is its object. In
animate targets soon pail and the young
markSman looks about for something
more exciting to shoot at He and his
parents and his mates are lucky if he
tconGucs his ambitions to birds and cats
and dogs bad as that Is At best the
seed has been sowu which sprouts in
wars and murders and banditry.
There is no point at which disarma-
mcnt could begin more sanely than in the
toy shop. 1t would not be so hard to
eliminate the idea of recourse to arms
from adult minds if the killing germs
were choked in youth instead of fostered.
