A CLEAN CITY

A visitor from Illinois making her first visit 10 Lake
land this week was impressed most favoraby by the
general air of cleanliness for which not Lakeland alone
but many other Florida cities are famous Of course
there are exceptions the general rule in Lakeland
in every other community but these exceptions
becoming scarcer as people understand the value of
cleanliness and attractiveness. does not require the
outlay of thousands of dollars in landscape work nor the
building of expensive Aower-bordered walks and drives
TO make place attractive. The humblest house Lake
land cam with the wise use of little paint be trans
formed into beauty spot provided the proper setting of
a few flowers and shrubs is mot overlooked. In this
time of copous rains the opportunity for dressing up
for next autumn and winter. Blessed with fertil SOIL
this section ought to be able 10 produce wide variety
of plant life A gratifying start in making houses and
grounds attractive has been made and from present nd
cations it is safe to predict that Lakeland
will be more beautiful than ever. But those who see
Lakeland in the summer time must realize that IN the
profusion Of greenery there few cities beautiful
Our hills and lakes put the finishing touches the pic
ure So whether the season be the summer time or the
winter time there is always much to admire and much of
which to be justly proud

four amendments that to be voted on at the gen.
eral election next November and it not too early for
the electors to become familiar with the laws it is
proposed to write into constitution if the fav
orable. These four amendments are being submitted as
result of the vote Of the last legislature which passed
on to the people the acceptance rejection of the
changes proposed OF the four there are two that are
CT special importance. Ranking first is the school
amendment, it being proposed to amend section ten of
article twelve of the constitution permit special
school districts to tax themselves as high ten mills on
the dollar of assessed value for the proper maintenance
of The public schools Under the present Limitations
school tax districts compelled to keep within three
mills and a result of It limitation, almost every
school district in Florida is head heels in debt If
the amendment passes, will enable the school author
ties to increase the mlage by mills If it should
fall still more serious condition of affairs sure to fol-

Everywhere throughout Florida Inc cry has gone up for
more funds fer the schools An affirmative vote for this
particular amendment vote to bring relief to an

things at our hands.
The second proposition is amendment that will

given to the present judges.
An amendment is also voted on that will permit state
officers to receive their salaries monthly instead of quar-

article seven of the constitution relating census and
apportionment and to the number Of members of the

amendment is that THE Legislature that shall meet A. D.

WORK
(Ocala Starr

We have been somewhat amused the last two or
three weeks by observing the attitude of the public
toward the force of men which has been grading and
laying brick the streets These men work They
are under the direction of ether who know what
work is, and insist having it. The men who work
under them have acquired the habit.
We have frequently noticed considerable numbers
of citizens stopping to watch these men work We
have never had time oursef to watch the work
watch the citizens watch the men work We have
come to the conclusion that the work because
whenever we pass them look their way they at
work. often when going have citizens watch
the work, and coming five minutes to half an hour
later have the citizens watching the men
work. often apparently without having moved out OF
their tracks during the interval
" AS are practical certain said citizens have in
tenon learning do any street work themselves,
and watching shovel dirt lay brick becomes
inonotOnOas in short time we have come to the
cIuson that the attraction in viewing said opera
consists of the novelty of seeing really work 1t
is of truth interesting and rather unusual sight
particularly in public work, to see men work.
A citizen who works himself, who pays taxes and is
interested the welfare of the city, is only ex
cusable but worthy inspector of such operations but
notable feature of the inspection is the melancholy
fact that considerable proportion OF the inspectors
who do little work themselves and some who do
none-or the best only at long intervals.
This matter of work is becoming the greatest of
problems. There not many total abstainers
from work. but immense number who do work
that is not worth while
AS long man is not a criminal, it is impossible
to make him work. 1t is of possible to make
IMAM work if he is vagrant; but he isn't vagrant
long he has a dollar to show to the judge, and be-
tween sponging relatives and friends gambling
few unable to produce that much
But the time is coming when society Will become so
topheavy with idlers, parasites and people who do
work that isn't worth doing. that it will upset like a
rotten iceberg. That would be event to look
ward to with joy rather than apprehension if could
be certain that only the lazy should suffer. Unfor,un-
atey great many industrious people will go into the
depths of hard, degrading work, imposed by society
to save ITSELF while not few of the dlers and para
sites will continue be idlers and parasites, and paid
at that-because chance crookedness will enable
them obtain positions directors and oppressor3 of
honest, industrious people.
Nature Sees but she sees over cur heads She moves
forward but if do not look out for ourselves
crushed under her feet. Sometimes we are crushed
anyhow.

Bound for some tropic isle of which we

OUR DEsr DErENs sIvE WEAPON

That given war weapon is more ad-
vantageous to one nation than to some
other, or that its use in defensive way
is calculated to make the battleship in
effective, is not sufficient reason for its
abolition.
The submarine, invented by an Ameri-
can and perfected as war craft by
Europeans, of itself renders the United
States practically immune from invasion
Our isolated geographical situation, with
an ocean rolling between each of our
coasts and any possible enemy of sutfic-
lent strength to give US concern, and the
great length of our coast line, equal to all
that of Europe, makes the submarine
more important to the United Suites
than to any other nation. So long as

ALASKA ONCE SUETROPICAL.

The ancient vegetation OF the Arctic
region, as is shown by study OF It's los
sil plants, indicates that its climate was
once very unlike that which prevails
there now Instead of consisting OF a
handful of small plants struggling for
life amid snow and ice in scant, almost
perpetually frozen soil, its vegetation
was abundant and luXurlant and lnclud-
ed ferns and paImhke plants that grow
only in mild and probably frostless CHM
ate This vegetation flourished in the
Arctic region from at least late PaleoZoic
to middle Cenozoic geologic time, millions
of years ago, before man existed. Al
though these lands are now so inhospltaole
and are rarely visited, the United States
Geological Survey has gathered a large
amount of information concerning their
fossil floras,
A study OF the coal beds of the Cape
Lisburne region has incidently disclosed
many fossil plants. These coal beds are
extensive and are the only known com
mercialy valuable mineral resources OF
that region A little coal is occasionally
mined for vessels that are short of fuei,
which, as there is no harbor, lie oif- -hore
and perilously load on few sacks OF
coal by means of lighters
Cape Lisburne is the bold headand
which marks the northwest end OF land
mass that projects into the Arctic Ocean
from the western coast of Alaska about
300 miles directly north of Nome. Even
Cape Lisburne is by no means the north
ern limit of the fossil plants OF this near
ly tropical vegetation, Tor they nave
been found in the rocks 1870 miles north
east of Cape Lisburne.
