promised, and it is said the Cuban officials showed
genuine enthusiasm in offering assistance
Of course the motive for this lies in the posi-
biy of an embargo on imports from Ay-nfested
territory which would be calamity for the island
growers AS a matter of reciprocity such embargo
or quarantine should be established only as last
resort, as the United States as a whole is deeply
interested in the prosperity of island neighbors.
But it is good thing for the growers in Florida
that this cloud over their future is so nearly
removed

When my sun of life is low,
When the dewy shadows creep.
Say for me before go,
Now lay me down to Sleep

There are no more ways to mend
Now l lay me down to sleep"
Nothing more to doubt or dare,
Nothing more to give or keep; 9sss,
Say for me the children's prayer,

Who has learned along the way

More of wisdom than to say,
"Now I lay me down to sleep"
What have you more wide to tell,
When the shadows round me creep?
All is over, all is wellr-.

should be very sure of his grounds. In supporting
a Republican tariff bill there can be no doubt as
to the sacrifice of the party. but there is a ire

responsibility for the conditions following the en-
actment of the protective measure which they

What the world needs, among other things, is
a readJustment of its notions of value. Civilization
IS not the sum total of boards bank balances,
stocks, deeds and chooses in possession of the people,
but of their faith knowledge, refinement morals,
humanity and happiness. A factory is good
thing, but school house is better A bank is
essential to business, but public library is essen
hal to the higher things of life A little genuine
culture IS worth more than ship load of gold.
The future of the race depends not upon what
men have today but upon what they feel and
think
