vided for years ago. The opening of
tile road would open up a fertile coun-
try in Lake county that is barely
known because of its isolation. An
other feature of immense proportions
in connection with the construction
Of such road is the fact that it will
provide a hard surface thorcughfare
from Jacksonville to Tampa and the
time required to make the trip will be
reduced several hours, and will bring
into Lake county thousands of tour
lists who have no conception of this
wonderful country. Beautiful scenery
and prosperous condition of this, the
only lake region of Florida. Such q
road will bring settlers into Aston, the
beautiful gem on the banks of the St.
Johns river, and the wild section lying
between that city and the southern
borders of Lake county will blossom
and bear fruitage undreamed of in
days agone. This road, if construct
ed, will rejuvenate this entire section
and bring wealth and prosperity that
no other contemplated improvement at
this time can compare with. Eustis
is eager to assist, financially and 9TH
erwise, in the promotion of this pro-
ject. The board of trade Monday eve
ming endorsed the construction of this
thoroughfare, and if the citizens of
Aston, Altoona and Umatilla desire to
have the road. it can and will be con-
structed. 1t only requires action on
the part of the citizens along this
route and a more prcpitious season
will never be ours. Let us strike while
the iron is hot.-Eustis Lake Region.

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Nancy and Nick had arrived at the
cave of gems under the sleeping pool
AT last they were in the secret pass
age the Star had told them about, and
if things went well they would soon
be at the South Pole.
A voice was speaking to them. An
invisible voice! Eyes, you are good
looking youngsters! And I'm glad of
that. 1 never read my poetry to any
one that is not good-Ioking. Would
you like to hear some?'
ooh, yes!" exclaimed the twins
quickly.
So the voice began:

In color I'm milky,
And I'm known from Bombay to

And my praises most everyone sings,
I'm extremely adroit,
And my tricks 1 exploit,
In the glory OF great circus rings.

I'm a wonder al looping the loop.

can wish you good day,

"Ic you tell me Just where you would
go.
I'm most likely to be sure 20 know
The road you must take.
And you'n make no mistake,
If you follow the way 1 shall show.
"There's another verse. Would you
like to hear it?'
Yes nodded Nancy. Very much
indeed, but won't you appear first?"
BLESS me. can't you see sne?" an
swered the voice. That's right, l
forgot. I get invisible every other day.
But wait! It's nearly u! There. it's

have made a choice much worse. But
given a favorable opportunity for the
cultivation of her real taste, she would
have given bossy a kindly pat, and
bestowed her kisses elsewhere.
AS a matter of fact, tastes are Who'll
ly arbitrary.
People have a taste which leads
them to blend green and red. My
mother did so in her rag carpets.
There was a stripe" which alternated
with "hit-or-miss" and which was
never expected to hit, but whose free
combination of color made it's happy
contrast with red an green, or orange
blue.
Those tastes were not arbitrary. My
mother did not know it, but there is
a scientific reason why the eye loves
blue in combination with orange, and
red in combination with green.
Tastes vary; but they are not so
erratic as some people think. And
tastes are capable of cultivation and
improvement. They are not hope
lessly diverse nor incurably corrupt.
When Oscar Wilde sent his craze
round the world, with pale pinks and
sad yellows and anemic greens and
God -forsaken blues, we well knew
that it would not last long.
Tastes are very cratic, but there
underlies the eccentricity of popular
That fact gives us much to hope for
in some things that just now do not
exhibit good taste.

SOME MATTERS OF TASTE.

An old Latin proverb declares that
in matters of taste there is no basis
for discussion; If man likes thing,
he likes it, and that is all there is
about it. The fact that another man
does not Ike it is not to the point.

the old woman who kissed her COW.

HUN PROPAGANDA.

America is beginning 10 awake &c
the very real danger of a German
victory through propaganda despite
the crushing defeated administration
to the Huns by American and allied
soldiers. Germany is flooding the
United States and every country with
the most pernicious and pertinacious
propaganda to cause the people of the
various countries to lessen the allied
demands for Preparations.
Germany started the war. Germany
invaded Belgium and France. Ger
many wrecked the factories, destroyed
the crops and ruined the lands OF
Belgium and France. Germany should
pay.
Writing in the American Review OF
Reviews for February, Maurice Leon
of Irving. New York, suggests the
following propositions:
1.-The congressional elections held
November s, 1918 sealed the
fate of the presidential contest
last year.
2T-In 1913 the republican party
won both houses of congress
on a peace program calling for
reparation and disarmament by
Germany.
3-Without real reparation and
real disarmament by Germany
the war will have been fought
in vain and must be fought
over again.
4-The American people having
given its full mandate to the
republican party, expects it to
be used to make the peace con-
elusive and lasting.
5-Who shall pay the damage
done by Germany If not the
German people?
Elf we do not help enforce rep
aration, how can we expect re
turn of money used to fight our
war?
! UNLESS the "Verboten" sign in
front of the German gunman
bears Uncle SANS 20. k, is
| not the wrongdoer bound to
conclude that it was kept off
by pro- German votes, and act
accordingly?
Continuing his discussion OF tn,
Hun danger, Mr.. Leon says:
1.-THE support of these proposition
by all those who regard them as sount
is necessary to the end that repub
! lican action on peace shall conform
to the war record of the republican
party. This means no separate peac,
