THE RED SCoURGE

"On the tenth day of July man
set fire to more than a score of homes.
Every home was entirely consumed
and there was no insurance. The man
went on his way, if not rejoicing, at
least without visible evidence of re-
gret. He had no fear of punishment
because the homes he had destoryed
were not yet built; they were still.

wand of industry to give them habit
able form. But economically these
homes were destroyed as surley as
though the trees lad been made into
lumber and the lumber into structures.
And this is the way it happened:
st was vacation season and an auto
mobile carrying party of tourists
stopped on ROAD that wound through
la magnificent stand of Dugla5 fir, in
Western Washingto. The travellers
lsat in rapturoUs admiration Of the
quie. enc and .hapsOdized over the
great tra2s that co.UInea their mai

a cOntemp.ative cigarette aud tossed
the match to the side of the read.

moved his ccntrC' and turned in that
direction. Upon the chart in the ma.

DON'T START 1T

There goes Mrs. So-and-So with Mr..
Somebody Else! They are walking
rather leisurely and seem much en-
gressed in converse tiOn. You don't
know what they are talking about.
Perhaps she is disputing some item
in a bill which his firm recently sent

they were talkink pretty earnestly
and your next door neighbor rem
embers having seen them together
two weeks ago. That starts it and
they have had a hard time trying to
live down the suggestion of scandal
which nothing but idle tongue has
started. There is nothing in all this
world more terrible and appalling in
its evil consequences than careless
and malicious gossip.

DON'T TELL 1T

If you know fellow who tries to be
fair
Although in the past his career has
been rotten,
Don't give him stab, but try to be
fair
And speak to him just as if all
were forgotten
Don't tell it, old man,
- Don't tell it,
If you know woman, who once on
go time,
: Said something, did something, not
esa liked in society,
Why mention the matter as if 'twere
crime
When her everyday life is the
height of propriety?
Don't tell it, old man,
Don't tell it!
If you know couple who frequently
scrap
Yet, when out in public they're mild
as two chickens;
Why should you bother to give them
,aarap
And hint to the world that they
fight like the dickens?
Don't tell it, old man,
Don't tell it.
1t strikes. me that none of us justly
boast
That our acts are all clear and
never disturbing;
And before we give sidewalks Of
others roast
We'd better be careful and clear of
our curbing.
Don't tell it, old man,
DON'T tell it,

ocALA GIRLS TO PLAY RETURN
GAME WITH coNcoRDlA IN
JACKSONVILLE

Coach Cullum's fast Concordia
basket ball sextet will play the strong
Ocala High school basketeers Satur-
day afternoon at the Concordia gum
in Riverside. The contest will start
promptly at $3.50 o'clock and a large
crowd of fans will no doubt be on
hand to witness the tight battle which
is promised.
The Concordia sextet have had a
season of ups and downs but they
claim they are now on the upward
path to stay until the final curtain
is rung down. Two weeks ago this
team journeyed to Ocala when the
high team of that city surprised the
local crew by giving them a severe
walloping and the Conc0rdia athletes
are now out to wipe away the sting
OF the defeat by rolling up decisive
score in the coming game.
Coach Cullums sextet showed great
form in the game last Saturday night
against the invading Rollins. Tar.
rottes by whipping the visitors with
apparent ease in a fast game. They
expect ito continue their fancy and
speedy stride and put the skids under
0cala.
The local fans are cordially invited
to attend the Concordia- Oeala battle
Saturday afternoon to be staged at the
Concordia gym in Riverside.-Times-
Union.

FOR STATE SENATOR
To the Voters of the 10th Senatorial

To the Voters of the 10th Senatorial
District
I hereby announce my name as a
candidate for the Senate, twentieth
(20th) Senatorial District of the State
of Florida, subject to the action of the
Democratic party.
Realizing that live stock is and
should be one of Florida's greatest
assets, now languishing and threaten
ed with destruction, favor legislation
that will eradicate the cattle tick, so
Florida may have an outlet and mar
ket for her cattle.
Realizing that the welfare OF any
government must rest upon the intel
Iigence of its citizens, | favor liberal
provision by the legislature for the
maintenance of our rural, town and
city schools as we'll as Florida's in
situations of higher learning.
I am unalterably opposed to freak
legislation of any nature whatsoever
and if elected will use my every effort
to prevent its passage, thereby pre-
venting our statute books from being
encountered with absurd laws.
/ am opposed to the judiciary being
placed in the hands of the electorate,
firm in the belief that it tends to lower
the dignity, lessen respect, and pre-
vent in measure the enforcement of
our laws, when these high dignitaries
are forced to scramble for Office by
the common methods of the politi-
clans.
This, in brief, is my platform and
upon it | ask your support.
Very respectfully,
