PLANT CITY WILL SOON
ERECT ANOTHER SCHOOL

The Plant City Courier says that
the Board of Public Instruction of
Hillsborough county has authorized
an election on Tuesday, August %, in
the Plant City Special Tax School
district, No. Six. at which the ques-
tion of six per cent bonds will be
submitted.
The election was called in response
to a petition from voters in the dis
trict, and if the issue carries. the
funds will be used in providing anoth-
er building for the primary and gram
mar schools, with some needed repairs
on one of the other buildings and in
undermining the plumbing of the high
school building. The cost of water
used in the main building is said
to be very much greater than it should
be, but to reduce it there must be
a complete change in some of the fix
lures.

ONE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Burlington Free Press devoted
the entire length of its famous double
column editorial Saturday to commun-
ity spirit and the Chamber of Com
merce. When the staid old Free Press
will lay on the sacrifcial altar two col
umns of ten point, you may know that
they consider the subject one of ut
most importance And it is. A cham
Der of commerce, backed by strong
membership and the right brand of
community spirit will make any town
a success. 1t has been proved and illus
trated time and again.
The Free Press gives a few instances
where the Chamber of Commerce in
that city has wrought immeasurable
benefits by steady consistent plugging
and the enthusiasm of its officers. Bur
lington has the distinction of having
one of the first municipal aviation
landing fields in New England through
the enthusiasm of Secretary TAYLOR
Burlington got country wide publicity
by presenting Marshal Foch that artis-
tic brochure of the Queen city, made
possible through the enthusiasm of the
Chamber of Commerce. Burlington
merchants received splendid returns in
dollars and cents through the sale,
squirt known as dollar day, planned and
arranged by the merchants bureau of
the Chamber.
These and countless other benefits
that directly and indirectly have work
ed for the up-building of the city may
be counted the result of the organized
effort that is bound to be a fruit of a
chamber of commerce. Plans for a
more extensive program of community
work has necessitated a stronger back
ing and an increased membership, and
Burlington is devoting the entire week
to a drive for more members. No doubt
the citizens OF Burlington will come up
to the mark, for they realize what the
Chamber OF Commerce is doing for
them day after day We hope the ex-
pectations OF the promoters OF the
drive are exceeded beyond every desire

THREE MEN MOURNED

Three men, respected, filling vastly
variant missions in life, but loved by
hosts and hosts of people, have beel
called by the Master. Pope Benedi1t
XIV, head of the great church OF Rome,
Viscount Bryce, British statesman and
man of letters, and John Kendrick
Bangs, American humorist, editor and
lecturer
Benedict, churchman first and SchoI-
ar afterwards, was said to have Iom-
bined the craftsmanship of Leo with
the grace of Plus. His efforts to effect
peace during the great struggle showed
indeed the work of a keen, high intelli-
gence coupled with the feeling emo.
tons of big and true heart. Through
it all he remained brave and conside.-
ate not allowing himself to be over
come, in order that he might continue
his good works for the church and for
humanity. Benedict was one of the
truly superior beings that have been
called to the exalted position, ami his
death is not only mourned by Catho-
lies throughout the world, but by
countless numbers from all faiths.
The people of this country have
especial reasons to regret the passing
of Viscount Bryce, as he was SAID to
have known America better than most
Americans. 1t is true that Mr. Bryce
was keen student of the United States
and while ambassador here was the
important figure in establishing ard
maintaining friendly relations between
the governments of this country aId
Britain The Viscount was representa-
tive of the best type OF British gentle
man, scholarly, versatile, gentle.
And the world, too, will miss the good
cheer and wholesome humor Of john
Kendrick Bangs. He brought smiles
every day to thousands, making the
burdens of life less heavy and the
lighter side more joyous.

A. BARTON HEPBURN

Outside the immediate circle of the
bereaved family, the death OF A. Bar
ton Hepburn, financier patron of edu-
cation, philanthropist and world figure,
is not more keenly felt or more SIN
cerely mourned than by the alumni
and student body of Middlebury Col
lege.
In Mr. Hepburn Middlebury had a
true and loyal friend. Notwithstanding
his advancing years he became increas-
inglv interested in the institution, pro-
noting by material aid and by wise
counsel everything that would tend to
the upbuilding, uplifting and develop
ing of the College The possibilities
the healthy growth, the future Middle
bury, were daily thoughts with this
busy man. who played so important a
part in the bigger business life of the
country.
Because OF his prominence in such
varied lines of activity his passing is a
cause for grief To Middlebury, as
President Moody says, his wisdom was
invaluable, and the loss is irreparable.

DON'T BE TOO SURE

Though neither the season of the
year, nor statements to the press on the
part of would-be candidates as to their
intentions, have yet warranted any
serious discussion, state papers are de-
termined to make "governorship
situation" out of a few idle rumors. All
one has to do is to take a good, deep
breath, then eXhale, and he apparently
becomes a possibility, whether he
would or not
1t is difficult at the present time to
say just who will be who, and further
more it is futile business to guess and
rash to make statements. Max Pow
ell is being swirled into the premature
maelstrom by the radical advocates OF
hard roads, Guy Bailey is being pressed
for statement, eyes are blinking at
Frank Howe, and Ma or II. Nelson
Jackson is being watched, to say moth
ing of Commissioner Brigham, and a
number of minor booms.

A REAL MENACE

A western Judge has announced that
hereafter he will award prison SEN
fences to all persons who are convicted
in his court of selling habit-forming
drugs. This judge evidently sees the
dangerous curves ahead and realizes
that the only way to prevent disaster
is to put the block system into imme-
diate effect.
The use of drugs and narcotics is in
creasing in this country in an alarming
degree and presents a real menace to
our civilization As to the causes of
the increase there are many reasons
ranging all the way from the adoption
Of bone-dry laws to the suffering caused
by the war. Probably all the reasons
given are contributing causes in vary
ing degrees.
Whatever are the causes the fact re-
mains that the use of drugs increases
despite the stringent laws which are
supposed to control the illegal traffic.
Eastern judges might well follow the
example of the gentleman out west.
Violators who are convicted must be
summarily dealt with. No money fines
will answer the purpose Offenders
must be made to look from behind
prison bars.
