his life. Another is a courageous let

Hymn of st. Patrick" which is a
rapt song of praise.
We have, therefore, more than ira
dition concerning Patrick.
st. Patrick was man VINO COM
bined q deep spiritual nature with a
strong capacity for action. He had a
firm purpose, and an enthusiasm which
carried him over every obstacle.
He redeemed Ireland from paganism.
He introduced the Latin language, with
it's wealth of learning, and he brought
that then isolated island into touch
with the civilization Of western Eu-
rope.
He was not the first Christian
preacher in Ireland; there were begin
ners before him; but he organized the
Christian societies, and fired the heart
of the Christian people with new hope,
and he vastly increased and strength
ened the work of enlightenment and
of civilization.

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

After Nancy and Nick and Flippety-
Flap had brought Squeak, the ele-
p1r-nt- baby, back to the circus, Flip
pety-Flap sat down and squinted
thoughtfully at the sole of his enor-
nous shoes (where he wrote all his
reminders).
Mrs. Kangy is gone. tool" said he.
'The gnomes let her out of her cage
and she took her son, Kicky Kang,
along with her."
Mrs. Kangy?" cried Nancy. ''Who
Is she?"
1.-THE big kangaroo" explained Flip
pety-Flap. And she carries her son
around in a vaIise. Handiest thing you
ever saw"
But what if she'd check it some
time" said Nick, and lose the ticket.
Daddy did that once"
FIippety- FLAP laughed heartily. why
bless you, boy, she can't lose either
the valise or the ticket. She couldn't
check it if she wished to. She carries
her valise fastened tight to her tum-
my. Most convenient, [ call it, with a
neat draws string on top! When sonny
has a cold and she does not wish him
to go out and play, she merely says:
Its damp out today, my dear, so
YOU STAY in the house Then she ties a
double knot in the draw-string and
sonny stays in. Or when he's been
naughty, it's easy as butter to put him
to bed without his supper and tie
three knots to make sure of him. But,
better still, If sonny gets chased and
someone threatens to hurt her darling,
chucks him into her valise and jerks
il shut and then says:
Come on, now, whatever-your-
name-is,' I'll settle with you. And
whatever-hi -name-is. that's been aft
er sonny, usually bowls and turns tail
and runs. Mrs. Kangy isn't just talk
ing when she says she'll jump on peO-
pie. She's the best kicker, too. I'll
tell you about that again.

NElGHBORLINESS
By Aufred Arnold

When a neighbor greets u neighbor
with a kindly how-d'y' do,
Then a neiRhbor cheers a neighbor
In his heart the whole day through.
Isn't IL true?
When a nelghbor tells q neighbor
That he secs he Is "the stuff"
Then a neighbor helps a neighbor
To work the smooth out from the
rough,
And that's no bluffl
When neighbor shows neighbor
That he lives to give and take.
Then a neighbor brings a neighbor
A friendship that it's hard to break
And no mistake!
when neighbor helps a neighbor
In a neighbo-'s time Of need,
Then neighbor Is neighbor
On which human faith can feed.
Yes indeed!

A DAILY MESSAGE
By DR.. WILLIAM z. BARTON

!
st. Patrick is believed to have been
born about the year 3S9. We are more
nearly certain of the year than the
day or the place.
He may have been a Scotchman;
| some declare he was born in France;
| but there is some reason to think he
was born in England.
| Tt is said that he was born on the
night of the eighth of March, but
whether before or after midnight, no
| one could tell, as it was before the
age Of clocks.
When his birthday came to be cele-
| brated, one clan celebrated the eighth
and another the ninth, and each en-
deavored to convince the other of be-
ing in error.
! A good and wise man suggested that
"One man could not have two birth
days" and proposed that the eight and
nine should be added together. BY this
| compromise all differences were set
| tied; the seventeenth were settled; the
| seventeenth day of March hence is
| celebrated as st. Patricks day.
Wherever he was born, his name is
forever associated with Ireland. Not
that the Emerald Isle was the only
L
| the English lake region the name Pat
terdale preserves the tradition if not
the memory of his labor in the north
of England, not far from the Irish sea.
When he was IS, he was carried
away by a band of marauders. For
six years he was held in bondage in
Ireland, where he is said to have tend
ed the herds of an Irish chieftain.
Patrick was reared q Christian. his
father, Calphurnius, having been a
deacon. In his captivity Patrick was
subject to deep religious emotion.
! At the age of % he made his escape,
and fled from Ireland on a vessel en-
gagged in the export Of Irish wild dogs.
He landed after three days, onthe west
coast of France, and spent some years
in monastery near the .Mediterran-
can.
Then he returned to Britain; where
he conceived the idea of returning as
a missionary to Ireland.
In a dream he saw a man named
Victorious bearing many epistles. one
of which was for him, and contained
The Voice of the Irish" He heard
in his ears their invitation, 1--WE pray
three, holy youth. to come and walk
again amongst us as before"
Although naturally diffident, and in
spite of the opposition of his relatives
Patrick sailed to Gaul, where he was
ordained; and then he returned to Ire
land.
Patrick's was a conflict with the
Druids and other pagan devotees, and
he met the task with mighty resolu-
ton.
It is said that at Tara he met the
pagan priests and chieftains gathered
for their heather celebration on Eas-
ter eve, and no fire was to be lighted
until the pagan king had lighted his
fire; but Patrick, like Elijah of old.
called down fire from heaven.
He founded many churches, of which
that at Armaugh is most intimately
associated with his name.

ed, which are with much reason ats

Change In Officials

The city election Tuesday resulted in
a complete change Of officials. Wheth-
er this was caused from dissatisfac-
ton with the old administration, or
from a desire to try a new set Just for
the sake Of a change, we cannot say.
one TACT, however, is apparent, and
that is the people are expecting real
accomplishment at the hands of the
newly elected officers and there is no
question but what they will enter upon
their duties with the public's conf
dence and cooperation, which is vital
ly necessary if any thing worth while
is accomplished during the next year.
We hope the people will not be disap-
pointed with those whom they have
selected to serve them, and that the
work of the new administration will
be such as to merit the approval and
commentator when their terms shall
have ended. AS one Of the newly elect
ed officials the editor Of this paper
promises his best efforts. We did not,
in any way, seek a place on the coun-
Gil, and would have much preferred to
have let the honors fall on shoulders
more worthy and capable than our
own, hence, if we do something aw-
full" the responsibility will not alto
gether be ours.-Holmes County Ad-
vertiser.

Rural Education

Rural Education
Education is the very life-blood Of
democracy. The standard of rural
schools is generally lower than that
maintained in the cities.
Education in the country is estimat-
ed to cost SIS per child as against $50
for the city child.
Good schools are just as essential for
the farm laborer and his family as
for the farmer himselfs and if the
farm help know that they can have
the same advantages of proper educa-
tional advantages for their children, it
may mean a more stabilized farm-Ia-
Dor situa ton.
The rural school has broad field
of usefulness in the building up of the
social as we'll as the educational life
of the community.
The importance and dignity Of farm
ing, as a profession, requires the best
of brains and skill and should be en-
phasized in the school work. However,
the country school should offer edu-
cational advantages equal to those, of
the city, not combining the entire cir
riculum to rural subjects.
The elevation of farm life to the
high standard that it deserves viii
come when the standard of education
offered the farm boy or girl, shall have
reached that point where it is equal
to that offered nywhere-Daytona

King Goals Rival


Scientific authorities have common
ly felt that the worlds supply of fuel
oils is being used up faster than it is
being developed, in these days of ire
mendous consumption of gasoline and
other products. A writer in the Lon
don Sphere, however, argues that the
use of coal oil is only in it's infancy.
He believes it will drive out coal.
He claims further exploration will
develop vast supplies hitherto I'M
known. Also it will be distilled from
coal. shale and other materials. He
believes that power alcohol is going to
be produced from vegetable products,
that synthetic fuels will be made in
factories, and that oil will be distilled
from coal in places too remote to
transport the raw product.
Such development would be a Won
derful blessing, doing away with coal
shortages and profiteering and strikes,
besides being so much cleaner fuel.
The people who hold coal at high
prices spur on the scientific men to de-
velop oil as a substitute.-Gainesvi

were pleased, most OF them expressing
the opinion that it would take five or
six market days to put it in full blast.
A few of the articles which were
brought in were a crate of strawber-
ries, which was sold as fast as it could
be opened, at thirty-five cents a box.
Eggs went at twenty cents a dozen,
and went means went in this case.
Turnips and cabbages were sold at
five cents a bunch and head respec-

which were sold as fast as they could

The vegetables will be more in sea-

ed that there will be very much
larger variety on display in a few
weeks. Several farmers who had stuff
to sell, but who hesitated to bring it
to town, came in and looked things
over, most of these men said that they
would be on hand next time with their

Hydro Electric Power


Although Florida has not great ele-
vations and consequently but little OPP
portunity for getting power from wa
terfalls, some day advantage will be
taken of the water-power that is
available in the state, and it will be a
step towards increasing our industrial
activities now very much less than
they could be under conditions that
would mean cheaper and better power.
That hydro electric power is being
steadily substituted for steam power is
wellknown in some sections, but the
great advances made and the projects
in view are not generally understood
except by those who are intimately
concerned. The two greatest countries
of the world, the United States and
Great Britain are just now working
out big plans for the use of natural
power that is yet going to waste"
while unmeasured energy and capital
Is being used to secure power from
coal-made steam.

Great Britain and the United
States have each decided that
super power systems are necessary
as works of general improvement,
not as words of local improvement
or private commercial enterprises.
In Great Britain preliminary work
is being commenced on the install
lation of hydro electric works on
the Estuary of the Severn and on
the River Wye to supply electri-
city from Bristol to London so as
to save millions of tons of coal
per year, increase productive
power, and decrease the costof liv-
ing. In the United States a more
ambitious project is under way.
BY authority of an act Of congress
surveys are being made to lay out
a zone extending from Washington
to Boston, and to be approximately
100 miles in width from the sea.
Within this zone it is intended to
furnish electricity for all railways
and for all manufacturing and
heating purposes, so that there will
be no more hauling and distribu-
ton of coal. 1t will relieve rail-
. ways from the load of handling
over thirty million tons of coal per
year, will increase track and rail
capacity by use of electric motors
and heavier trains. and will, 1t is
estimated, cut power costs and
heating costs at least in two. The
saving power will be also an &C
tual earning power.
Anything which will increase tn
possibilities of comfort and add to tn
of enjoyment of the PEG
pie is to be commended and the com
pletion of such systems as mentioned
must certainly be of general benefit
