We have machine on our table,
which is a typewriter, but which some
people, deficient in intelligence, think
is cider press. 1t will take three
sheets of paper and two carbons with
out complaining, but when some
BANKED fool comes along, and sticks
a whole book in it, it feels injured.
There is absolutely no use in trying
to drive a nine-page letter into tiff
said letter was laid down on or by it,
it would be found just as quickly. Said
machine would cost US about sos TO

It's no trouble to get money in this
town if you know how. Yesterday,
we were plumb busted and the banks
shut. We had pint of milk at Bax-
ter earns, and. after drinking it,
asked Baxter if our credit was good
for ten cents until next day. Baxter
looked at the empty bottle and said it
was. Soon after, we had letter to
mail on a northbound train, and sent
it to the station by messenger boy,
and when he returned we told him to
kindly wait until next day for his
money. He acquiesced. Toward eve
ming, absolutely needing some money
we borrowed quarter from Sid Wha-

A GOOD, SUGGESTION

The Seaboalai Railway is using
gasoline motors on its branch lines.
They are now experimenting with a
motor between Wildwood and Orlando,
via Leesburg. This motor car has a
seating capacity for 16 negroes and
80 whites, besides baggage room. 1t
would surely pay the Seaboard to ex-
tend the run from Ocala to Orlando,
leaving Orlando in the morning and
returning from Ocala in the afternoon
nj time to pick up the limited passen-
gers at Wildwood. This service would
be great accommodation to the peo-
pie and the farmers generally-Sum-

Says the Jacksonville Metropolis:
"a Tennessee farmer is asking the
government to give him $1,000 for a
box of ashes. He states that his barn
burned several weeks ago and that
bills to the amount asked were con-

been turned over to a chemist for
analysis, to determine whether the
man is telling the truth or just follow
ing the precedent set by the shipping
board"

FOCH IN NEW FRANCE

The French were probably the first was later
described by de Tocqueville upper Mississippi
basin into the valley beyond = the valley which
came to be part of New France, and which was
later described by de Tocquevile as, on the whole,
"the most magnificent dwelling place prepared by
God for mans abode" 1t was Frances vaor and
adventure which evoked it from the unknown,
held it for century or more and then yielded it
nominally to another European nation, but vir-
tually to the making of a new nation. Sharing it
with the aboriginal American, she gave it to the
ultimate American.
No Frenchman, whether explorer, courreur des
bos, priest settler traveller whatever his hard
ships, privations or dscomforts out in that valley,
is remembered to have thought desolate the level
vastnesses Of these mterminable prairies and
plains. One is, therefore, not surprised to hear
that Marshal Foch, in his journey across these
immense Stretches was deeply impressed by the
great prairie country" and that he found it's
grandeur almost overpowering." Many Ameri-
cans think cf these long litnesses as monotonous,
colorless, characterless surfaces without relief
until the snow capped mountains begin to appear
on the further boundary; but they have, as Mar
shall Foch and his Gallo predecessors as far back
as Father Marquette found them, the charm and
sublimity of infinite distances.
The Indian chief Red Tomahawk, who gave
Marshal Foch his aboriginal name (Which is, be-
ing translated, Charging Thunder'), might have
taken as his speech Of welccmc that which was
made to Marquette and Joliet by the first Indian
chief whom they encountered on their voyage of
discovery down the Mississippi. The chief
thanked them 'for having taken so much trouble
to come to visit us, insisted that the earth was
never so beautiful the water so calm and clear of
rocks, the tobacco so fragrant or the corn so fine
as on that day. and ended by saying, Il give thee
my son to show thee my heart" It is happy.
sequel that this first meeting of the Indian and
the Frenchman beyond the Mississippi should
have such celebration as the great living Con
ontio," of old France, returns the hostage by
which America has shown France her heart
