Can you stand more camphorY' she
asked.
IN swim in it, II it will get me up"
The girl laughed, moistened the cot
ton and laid it on the wound. He did
not even vince. The sting Of it had
become to him necessity, the CRATE.
Iul means to an end that must be ac-
complished. Without tonisSt there
could be no tomorrow. She saturated
more of the cotton, laid it OF the cash
and bMdaged It there, drew the blouse
back into place, smootbed the pillow
under his head and went &c me
kitchen.
He heard the rattle of the stove, and
knew that she was preparing him
something to eat. 1t moved him. for
}e knew how piriful little that kitchen
held' and vel she was going to share
II with him-the best of it-share 1t
with smile, and the grace Of prin-
cess. He swore to himself that there
should be food in that kitchen tomor-
row.
She was back in a surprisingly short
time, bearing tray of such food as
she bad been able to prepare hastily
some Lroth, crisp toast, a poAched egg,
and black coffee
He was sound asleep.
She tiptoed back to the kltchen, set
the tray on the stove hearth where It
would keep warm. re-entered the room,
drew chair up beside the sofa, and
kept the buzzing flies away from his
face while he slept.
Noon came and passed. Several
times she went TO the kitchen to mend
the fire and keep the tray warm many
a time she slipped from window to
window and listened at the doors for
sound of the hunters that somewhere
combed the woods The shadows
turned eastward and still the man
slept. The day had worn away to mid
afternoon when he tossed restlessly
and flung his right arm above his head
The movement seemed TO provoke the
hurt. He came aWake-with the quick
intuition of the woodsman knew he
had slept long He started to rise
She sprang up and laid her hand on
his shoulder.
But I mustn't impose on you like
this" he protested.
Didn't you say a little bit ago that
| was the doct0r?'
That dry smile that always started
in his eyes first, crawled out across
his face.
"Then I command you to stay right
where you are" she answered to the
slow smile, as she hurried out TO the
kitchen and carried in the tray.
She sat down beside him on the
couch, fixed his arm easy in the sling,
put sugar in the black coffee, and even
buttered his toast. The Pearlhunter
had never lived In such luxury. II
was a dream-like some of the stories
Of fairies and enchanted palaces his
mother used to tell Of years ago in the
long winter evenings on the house
boat. He half feared that he might
not really be awake; that, after all, Ii
might turn out TO be some trick, like
that of the gorge that closed.
She rose, pushed away the table and
helped him back upon the couch
TRY to Sleep" she said, while
smoothing the pillow under his head.

KISSING A TEXT

Reports of President Hardins's Inauguration
say that he pressed bis lips to the eighth verse Of
the sixth chapter ofNlicah. when he took the oath
Of Office. The verse reads. What doth the Lord
require Of thee but to do Justly and to love mercy
and ia walk humby with thy Godp"
Mr. Harding evidently wants it understood
that the precepts of this verse are to constitute his
guides in Office They are good prccepts.- and
there arc many more good ones within the covers
Of the same book So long as the president fol-
lows them he cannot go wrong
But if he wants moro specific guidance, there is
an old document, published back in about the year
1887, which he can obtain at the Congressional
library. though it is rarely found in the capitol,
which contains some excellenty practical advice on
how to run the presidency. 1t is called the Con-
stituton of the United States.

The tendency anfthe part OF Floridians
and Florida newspapers to invidousy compare
/ the north and far west with this state is rapidly
being abandoned by those who have the best in
terests Of Florida at heart.
Florida is part of the great United States-a
wholesome, sun.warmed spot where comfort
health and recreation may he had. 1t welcomes
the winter visitor and thrice welcomes the settler
When it is cold and dreary in the north, are
sorry for the people who cannot be with us. but
bear them no ill-w nor do we harbOr dislikes
for the country in which they live. The magnif
cicnt industrial and agricultural north is the
pride of every American Her cities are the Won
der of the world. And our feeling is the same
toward the far west, especially California, There
can never be any rivalry between California and
Florida. The climate of California is distinctive
from the Florida climate. Ours is balmy eli
mate. tempered with the soft winds. California
climate ha sits peculiar features, liked by
many and dislikcd by some. Ours seems to have
the favor of all who come.
The fact is. there is room III both California
and Florida for all who have tile means of max
ing winter visits. There also remains room in
both the state for thousands of settlers on the
land and in the cities. But neither state. nor
both states. hope to accommodate all the peo
pie IN the United States There Will he millions
of persons in the north who cannot visit either
state; and many who would not travel to either
state if they could for the reason that they are
pretty we'll satisfied where they are. And still
another fact is important neither Florida nor
California could exist without the people the in
dustries and the markets of the north
Floridas greatest satisfaction is in being able
to offer to the north perpetual summer easily
of access to those who can come; beautiful cities
in which pleasure and comfort may be had. and
several million acres of land yet susceptible to
cultivation by those who wish to make their own
exist in Florida, in almost every line of endeavor
than in any other state, for the reason that there
are twelve months Of beautiful weather in which
to accomplish good results-renewal of health en-
tering business in the cities taking part in the
Development of great agricultural enterprises
establishing oneself small tract of land and
pioneering, with modern means in all lines.
Florida is not and does not intend to conduct
herself in uppish manner toward other sec
tions. We have equal pride in Detroit with De-
troiters; we love Boston for her history we look
upon New York with a swelling pride; we like
Louisville, KY, for the traditions of the old Blue
Grass state; we glory in the political trumphs
OF Ohio we have fond memories of Whitcomb
|. Riley and the old Hoosier state-in fact ours is
such composite state. with folks from every
section. with their home pride very dear to them
that Florida feels that she is the sweet and beau
tiful sister to them ALL

LEI The MOTHERS SPEAK

E Lakeland mothers are up against the fact that,
unless the local school facilities are greatly i'm
showed their children will be deprived of the ad-
yantages which the children of mothers elsewhere
enjoy
q Diseased bodies, dwarfed minds, stunted at
Eanments inferior opportunities in the battle of life
are the inevitable penalties for inferior schools
of the work committed to them Rooms are over
crowded, desks are not adapted to the age of the
pupil, there are not enough teachers, light vcnti-
lation and other comforts of the school room are
Insufficient.
This situation can be remedied in one way only
by raising money, building new school houses
cquippng them with the best appliances, and in
creasing the number of teachers. These things do
not make up the sum total of our educational re-
quirements but they are the ndespensables consti-
futng the starting point for all other Improvements.
1t is a condition incident to the growth of the
city, for which nobody is to blame, but is con-
dition which must be met promptly and efectuay

have called a meeting for next Wednesday. 10 be

Parker, al which the whole subject will be dis

GETTING THE TRUTH

The Florida Development Board with its usual
Enterprise, took up the matter of unemployment in
FLORIDA, which had been grossly misrepresented by
Chicago Tribune under the authority of the de-
'partment of labor. and proceeded to make a little
Investigation of its own. 1t found that the labor
department report was made without any ade-
|kuate survey Of Florida conditions
AS an example the Development Board found
that one single county, Pinelas Of the small
est though far from the least counties in the state,
was employing more men in the building trades
than were credited to the entire state. Senator
Fletcher took the matter up before congress, pro-
testing against such an unjust reflection upon the
state, and reading into the Congressional Record
an editorial from the Florida Metropolis.
The Development board also offered its SER
vices to the department in securing correct re-
port, and there is no to doubt that if COM
plete survey of industry in this state were made,
The correct figures would show Florida to be, not
among the black states Indicating a minimum
i Of unemployment but in the very front of the
white" states as having the largest percentage of
men at work of any state in the union.

that the returns on these taxes are not suf-
ficient TO warrant the trouble they cause and
the contempt they bring OF the tax laws.
Administrative officers favor payment OF
taxes by manufacturers or wholesalers direct,
