What can be more interesting than
styles in wedding rings? Those who
are contemplating owning one in the
near future and those who are having
their present one remodeled are
equally interested.
Have you ever seen a real brand
newly engaged girl walk into a
jewe1ry store and look at wedding
rings for a friend" during that
Fascinating period before she tells
the world of her happiness? She tries
them all on her slim finger and is
quite awe-struck by the number of
beautiful and novel designs.
Flower Designs Liked
Floral designs seem the most pop
ular of the platinum variety, style
makers say. In some of the rings a
flower may be used FIR the month in
which the wedding took place, or in
which the bride was born, and in
other rings the entwined flowers of
the birth months of both the bride
and bridegroom are used. New we'd
ding rings are made of platinum or
white gold. The old rings are fire.

Diamonds still hold first place for

sapphires is also considered quite
smart for an engagement ring now
adays, and is beautiful with a dia-

sidered to mean tears-go into the
wedding rings OF the present day.

With Other Editors
BIRDS FLY SOUTH

Jack Frost is beginning to get in
his work up north in Canada. Birds
soon fly south. These migratory
flights are mysteries of science.
How do they know when to start
and where to go and how to find
their way?
Bird migration is very old habit,
an inborn instinct which was devel-
oped ages ago, and which manifests
itself year after year in a uniform
manner and without any remarkable
close conformity to immediate condi-
tons.
This is Professor j. Arthur Thorn
sons explanation in his Outline of
Science" In other words, the annu-
al southwark flight of birds is hab-
it developed gradually through thou
sands of years.
One scientific explanation is that
the great Ice Age, when glaciers
moved from the north, drove birds
south. When the ice slowly retreat
ed, they flew back to their old homes
in warm summer, but returned to the
the new homes in winter.
One guess is as good as another.
Ever wonder how fas thirds travel
when they migrate south? Some of
them reach a speed of more than so
miles an hour. When weary, as you
have noticed, they camp for rest
hang around certain locality for a
day or so.
Ducks travel "A to SO miles an
hour, and small songbirds 20 to 81
miles an hour, according to Colonel
Meinertzhagen's observations. The
bird named the swift" has been
known to pass an airplane doing 6S
miles an hour, and reaches a speed
of more than 100 miles when flying
with all its energy and skill.
Hunters now oiling their shotguns
soon will be shooting wild geese and
ducks.
The geese travel in a sort of V
formation, one side longer than the
other, like a broken wishbone. Shoot
the leader and the formation closes
up, the next bird in line taking the
fallen leaders place.
Shoot the leader of some kinds of
wild ducks and, say the ojibway In
dams, the flock flutters to the
ground, preferably a swamp, and
presently rises after much chatter
ing in which they seem to elect new
leader.
This is the sort of adventure, ro-

THAT SCHOOL TAX AMEND
MENT

Strenuous opposition to the adop-
ton of the proposed amendment pro-
viding for a new reapportionment of
the representation in the state legis-
lature should not create any confu-
sion in the public mind as to the ad-
advisability of supporting the amend
ment, to be voted upon at the same
time, which will permit special tax
school districts to impose tax of 10
mills upon the dollar of valuation, in
stead of 3 mills as at present.
There is some misrepresentation as
to the effect of this amendment if
adopted. 1t does not, as some sup
pose, impose a tax of 10 mills upon
anybody. 1t simply permits special
tax scho lodistricts to vote upon a
proposition to increase the millage
from 8 mills up to any figure not xe-
ceeding 10 mills.
In each special tax school district,
every two years, there is held an
election to choose the trustees for
the district At the same time the
people are called upon to fix the spe-
cial school tax for that school dis
trict. 1t is all in the hands of the
people themselves, within the limits
stated; not less than mills and not
more than 10 mills can be imposed, if
this proposed amendment is adopted
1t is a singular thing that the con-
stitution of the state makes no limi-
tation on the amount that the people
may tax themselves for any purpose
except for maintenance of public
schools. Just why the original fran.
ers of the constitution thought the
people We're not to be trusted in the
management of their most importar
affair, is not known. But they die
limit it and the proposed amendment
is one of the movements tending t.
enlarge the liberties of the people il
saying what they will and what the!
will not 90 in educating their chill
dren.
Dade county not only needs the ad
lditional money that would arise il
this increas eof taxation, if the dis
tricts vote the maximum limit, bu
it is one of the foremost counties il
the state in using every means t
advance the interests of the publ
schools. 1t may be assumed, there
fore, that the people of this count
will approve this proposed amend
ment by large majority.

impressing us that whatever reward
may be lacking in material way,
we have been amply compensated by
the bestowal of confidence of the
community, appreciation of our rea-
ders and given place among the
community's worthy institutions.
Few persons peruse the evening
papers winter and summer, In sun
shine and in storm, think of the
amount of capital invested, the labor
involved and the care and anxiety in
cident to the preparation of the sheet
which is so regularly served at all
seasons of the year. Even IN the
newspaper world, surrounded as we
are by all the appliances of business,
we sometimes ignore that which
makes the daily Journal success,
and overlook the steady progress
made and still making in improving
the machinery and general organiza-
ton of first class newspaper estab-
lishment.
Newspapers, the modern newspa-
pers, are very correct indexes OF the
communities they serve. Their eX-
pansion and service depends upon pa
tronage, such patronage coming from
business enterprises that realize and
appreciate the advantages of keeping
their wares constantly before buy
ers. This is the direct benefit,
bought and paid for in inches. But
there is another benefit, the indirect
benefit of having a good newspaper
in a community for the very adver-
Using and ear mark of progress and
prosperity it gives to that community
Appreciation of this benefit, and a
consequent contribution to its con-
tinuance, figures very largely in the
success of the enterprise in commu-
nifty with the population that Palat-
ka has.
Palatka could not well afford to be
without newspaper, daily paper
1t has become city with ambition, al
least among many of its citizens, but
it has not infrequenty been subject
of sore consideration on the part Of
the publishers as to whether or moi
the time and labor and anxiety eX'
pended created appreciation and sup
port commensurate with the effort.
We dare say that if this newspaper
were to suspend publication tomor
row some outsider could come int
Palatka and enlist enough regula
business to guarantee the production
of newspaper, for period at leas
much more business that the New
has been able to secure during tn
last year. And yet some of the lead
ing stores, industries and banks ar
not now disposed TO recognize sue
an asset and lend their support to it
continuance. So, it must be to tina
degree of support that The News ca
expand and grow in service and i'm
portance.

THAT'S THE STuFF

The Miami Metropolis comes out
with an editorial based on one of
Chase & Co.'s ads in which it is stat
ed that the company has, from the
first, given time and money to the
cause of lowered freight rates for
Florida. We hope that they will con-
tinue to do so and that other COM
panies will follow suit, until this in
iquitous discrimination in freight
rates has been knocked in the head.
The estimated crop of citrus fruits
now to be moved is at least Ia mil
ion boxes. A reduction of freight
rates 10 cents box would give the
growers a handful of change amount
ing to one million four hundred thou
sand dollars; a reduction of % cents
a box would give the growers a saw
ing of three million five hundred
thousand dollars.
If every grower in the state were
to donate l cent per box of this
years crop toward the cost of fight
for lower rates they ought to reap a
big reward for the small amount
contributed-Arcadia Enterprise.
