"THE FLAG WAS STILL THERE
con the recent fire in ocala.)

When came the alarm at early morr
And scattered far and wide,
Neighbors, friends and strangers came
To check the awful tide;
For with the cry of fire
Men left their homes to see
What could be done to quench the
flames
On came the fire sweeping gusts
And only faltered, where
A little flag defiantly flung
It's colors in the air
And cried, stand back We fiends
I've met fiercer foes than you,
And never yet has courage left
My matchless colors true
Back, back / say, touch not the flag
All nations stand to cheer"
And when the flames had done their
worst
The flag still f1oated there.
Brayely they fought, those weary men,
Until they saw the flames, destructive
sway
Had yielded to the flow of water
Which came from the firemen's spray
Then high above the ruins
In the early morning clear
Defiantly on blackened staff
They saw flag still floating there.
A drenched and dripping little flag
But Oh, how it came to cheer
AS again was breathed a prayer of
faith
BY the men who fingered there.
God never gave better flag
Nor one more proud to stay,
Than the little drenched and dripping
one
That floated there that day;
And as the years may come and go
We who are left will cheer
And sing aloud in one glad voice
For the glorious flag still there.

Recalling the fable about the man

reasonably conclude that Aesop was q
newspaper publisher, says the Atlanta
Journal Arthur H. Folwell, in Les

Usher who decided to make his news
paper what everybody would like.
How can | make mine the ideal

The following answers greeted the
query:
"Cut out the crimes, the murders
the sensational divorce case reports,
said the nice people.
Cut out the accidents, the railway
and steamship disasters" said the PEG
pie who couldn't bear" to read such
things.
"Cut out the politics" said the old
fashioned women. Il don't understand
it, and haven't time for it."
''Cut out the league of nations and
all that heavy stuff" yawned the flap
pers of both sexes. What's it all
about, anyway"
Cut out the so-called funny pic
lures" said the careful mother
Such pictures aren't funny and they
are bad, very bad, for children"
"Cut out the ponderous editorial

headlines. Nobody reads 'em nova

Cut out the woman's page" sait
the female with the strong mind. IT.

TAMPA TIMES is SPENDIN
MONEY

In newspapers c1rcies there is much
comment on the way that The Tampa
Daily Times spends money for news
and features. 1t is the only Florida
daily that prints the famous David
Lawrence letters. In addition to the
full day and night reports of the AS
sociated Press, The Times is building
up a highly expensive special news
and feature service, in its effort to
publish newspaper that will be in
teresting to every member of the fam
lily in homes all over Florida.

the Newspaper Enterprise Association.
which is known as one of the most
complete news and feature syndicates
In the country, it gives its readers the
best comics btainable-including

Two special features OF The Times
are its sporting page and woman's
page. Those features alone cost them
an enormous sum.
In all Florida homes where an in
teresting and complete newspaper is
appreciated, The Tampa Daily Times
should have place.
The price of a three months sub
scription is SITS.
Orders should be sent direct to The

FLoRlDAs FIRST REPUBLICAN
DAILY


That Florida has felt the need for
years of high-class thoroughly re-
publican daily is conceded by demo-
Gratis and republicans alike. and the
advent of the Post, of Winter Park.
with its one hundred and twenty
pages, was a wonderful piece of jour
nalism. 1t was also well received by
the press of the state-only words Of
praise having been given the projec-
tors of the enterprise-which appears
to be capitalized to a sufficient extent
that its plant is said to be wonder
full exposition of the printers art.
Subsequent issues have been kept up
to the standard-and it may be said
that the paper is the first to be receiv-
ed in this city on the day of the pub
location. There appears to be an able
corps of assistants in the several lines
and matters have now commenced
to run smoothly for the Post.
However, The Gazette would mildly
suggest that no friends will be made
for publication no matter how well
edited or compiled, which commences
its career by slandering Floridians as
"degenerates, scions of the former in
habitants, who were sent over from
Spain and England when Florida was
a penal colony" Such expressions
strike too many sensitive chords in
the breasts of those who are fairmind-
ed. If the writer had thoughts of that
sort he should have been wary as to
expressing them; and if he had
thoughts of that sort he should have
sought a new field in which to launch
paper of the magnitude of what he
intends to make the Post.
"Degenerates' is rough and coarse
word to use in everyday life. If that
writer had intended to imply that
Floridians were set in their ways
as are the people of New England
as are the people of Oregon, the moss
backs"-as are the natives of nearly
every state-the matter could have
been handled in calmer and more
pleasing fashion. 'Degenerates' do
not bond themselves to the limit for
good roads-for schoolhouses-for pub
JIG mprovements-fo maintenances
OF the law! Far from it. The crack
ers" will naturally object to such
description of themselves; and all 9TH
er people will deplore the fact that
such an insult was thrust upon the
original settlers of the state and their
descendants.
There Is no occasion for uttering
such scathing terms about any class
or any political party or any religious
creed as was brought out in the initial
number of the Post. 1t is fact that
there has been no duplication of such
insults in any subsequent issues; but
1t will require time to erase that ex-
preston from the minds of those who
saw 1t and read it and considered it.
If the Post can find comfort in some
Of the actions of the present admins
trations it will be right to place the
details before the public; but it would
be wise to have facts well in hand
and avoid the insinuations that Flor
idians, with the exception of the edi-
forial and mechanical force of the
Post. are degenerates.
The press of the state welcomes the
Post to its ranks-and wishes it well.
The press would also suggest that all
its utterances be conseryative.-Kis-
simmee Valley Gazette.

we'll developed as that around Los
Angeles.
''Then again, San Francisco has for
years been burdened with trades un-
ions. Los Angeles maintained the
open shop. As consequence many
factories have located in Los Ange-
les which would have preferred to
locate in San Francisco, and some
factories have even moved from our
city to Los Angeles. We are taking
steps to change all this, and fund
of million dollars has been raised
to launch a campaign to place San
Francisco on an open shop basis and
great headway has already been made.
| The third reason closely related to
the other two was the notion we San
Franciscoans had that we were the
hub of the west, the only city on the
coast, so to speak, and that everything
would naturally have to come to us:
We have found out differently and
don't think that way any more"
Don't get the idea that | think the
west is the place to go to. Not If
you haven't made your pile. For the
ordinary farmer or business man with
small or moderate -means, North Da-
kota offers far greater opportunities
to make a good living and to put by
something for old age than the west
does. You can't live on climate, and
anyhow, to a man with good red blood
in him, the zip and 60 of the north is
better than 1865 days Of warm or hot
weather. l do wish though that we
could get the boosting spirit of the
western coast. We don't know what
the word boost really means. The
native Californians are born boosters,
and the rest who 60 there catch the
spirit of the thing in few months.
Every sentence out there having any,
thing to do with climate, resources,
or the like, contains the word "won-
derful' in praise of something west
ern, or unusual" to account for some
of the really disagreeable things you
encounter out there in the way Of
climatic conditions. We are too
prone to listen to somebody running
down our climate or the country, in
silent approval if not giving open
agreement to the maligner. You
wouldn't do it in California and live
there long.

Where is there a woman in the
world who does not at some time or
another suffer from backache. While
this symptom is not monopo.ized by
women, 1t is almost universal among

these, attention TO the primary con-

Women's muscles are not so hard
