pARkHlLL ZOE GOVERNOR

In view of the fact that all over the
state announcements are being made
for political office, The Journal wishes
to nominate as candidate for governor
Charles B. Parkhill. who not only has
been long identified with the state of
Florida, but has held national office,
and served his country well both in
civil life and in military service.
Judge Parkhill is not only well fit
ted for the office of chief executive of
the state through training and ability,
but his election to that office would
place in the executive mansion a typi-
cal son of Florida, a man in every
fibre of whose being the traditions Of
the old south mingle with the progress
sive ideas of the new.
The Journal believes that not only
would Judge Parkhill serve well this
state as its governor, but that If he
announces for the race he will receive
an overwhelming vote.
He has long served his state and the
nation, and it is but fitting that the
state in turn should honor him.
Here in West Florida, Judge Park
hill once made his home. And in
North and South Florida he is equally
well known. His candidacy for gov
ernor of the state would mean that
Florida would have at the head of its
government a man well trained in
legal matters, a man who has served
mot only in the Spanish American war,
but in the world war, and one who,
through actual experiences in civil and

As member of the judge advocate

war Judge Parkhill came in contact
with many legal matters which gave
him an insight into world conditions,

state and state politics, but world
conditions and world politics, as we'll
The world is knocking at our door, and

the nation to a safe harbor.
In presenting the name of Judge
Parkhill for governor of Florida, The

suited him, but that he would serve,
If chosen by the people OF his state,

CLAY MODELLING AT HOME

faces up is not the top. really. but the
bottom of the tile. Slip your knife
carefully under the clay and turn it
over. The side which now faces UP is
the top and should be made very
smooth.
Decide upon the design you wish to
press into the soft clay. In planning
the design remember that 1t may be
pressed into the clay with the aid Of
buttons, seeds, ends of thread spools,
and similar objects A pencil, or the
sharp end of a meat skewer, may also
be used to draw lines of the design On
the clay.
Making the Design
When the design has been chosen,
sketch 1t carefully on piece of paper.
Gather together all the articles neces-
sary to make the imprints on the clay.
and then with the pencil design before
you get busy. The clay should not be
too wet when you press the design
into it.
Allow the clay to dry after the de-
sign has been made, and then with a
knife cut away the rough edges and
correct errors.
You may finish the tile by painting
1t with water colors and coating il with
white shellac. But if you wish a less
glossy finish than the shiny surface
painted tile with bees wax The tile
should be painted all over. and not
only the face and sides.

it all the more necessary that if pos

vented from giving the knowledge he
possessed into the keeping OF Grace
Draper. He was malicious, but she
was dangerous Therefore / steeled
myself to do what Lillian had asked,
and the opportunity came in another
minute, for Grace Draper and Allen
Drake were still conversing animated
ly, leaving brakes companions as well
as Mr. Underwood and his chance ac-
quaintance to their own devices.
Harry Underwood was watching me,
yet with a wary eye upon the beauti-
full, stormy petrol who sat opposite
him, but with her back to our table.
When he was sure he was unobserved
he smiled at me broadly, and, with a
feeling of utter loathing for him and
for myself. l returned his smile.
He started, and l saw his face
change expression. The next instant,
with a muttered word to Grace Draper,
at which she nodded, but did not turn
her head, he rose from this seat, and
to my horror came directly TO our
table.
