THE BOY SCOUT IN THE CRISIS

The Boy Scouts have an interesting
way of getting into the news every
once in a while. They do not do it
in the way which is used by many
people, but by a method which splen-
didly exemplifies the fine ideals for
which the organization stands.
A few days ago there was a wreck
on one of the northern railroads. An
express train plowed through an ac-
commodation which was on the track
ahead of it. In this train were a
number of Boy Scouts, and some of
them were injured. The lads who
were able to do so went into the mass
Of burning wreckage along with the
older volunteer rescuers and render
ed such able assistance as to attract
the particular attention of all obser-
vcrs.
Courage and helpfulness are two of
the cardinal tenets of the Boy Scout
movement. That these qualities are
being wrought into the boy life of the
.nation through this organization has
been demonstrated many times when
a crisis has arisen. In fact, so nu-
mer0us have been the instances that
it has come to be the expected thing
when a situation arises calling for
exceptional courage that the Boy
Scout will measure up to the demands
u the occasion.
While this is true, it is also true
that in the more prosaic activities
of life the Scouts are making them
selves felt. Just for instance, brief
item was published in The Herald a
day or two ago from West Palm
Beach telling of the work of the
Scouts in cleaning up about the pa
viIion in that city There is nothing
spectacular about this sort of thing
and it is not every boy who would en-
joy taking the haIf-holiday to engage
in such arduous work. 1t is a decid-
cd tribute to the work of the Boy
Scout organization that these young
Americans were willing to do this
homely task.
Scouting furnishes the boys any
amount of good, clean fun, 1t does
something more than that. 1t gives
them a fine moral fibre that nothing
else can give quite so effectively

Each year Palatka citizens are
learning the advantage of sojourning
along one of the many available
beaches instead of submitting to the
inconvenience of long trips to other
summer resorts, and many scores of
summer cottages on Florida beaches
now house Palatka families during
the heated period.

BUILDING FOR COMFORT.

BUILDING FOR COMFORT.
These warm days and nights bring
forcefulIy to mind the matters of per-
sonaI comfort during hot weather
There is no denying the fact that the
mercury has been climbing upward
right here in beautiful Polk county
but Sundays high of SO degrees
was ecHpsed by half a dozen points
throughout the country. Further
more, Florida is favored by delightful
breeZes, although the last few nights
have not caused anybody special wor-
ry along that line. The point to be
stressed is that in a majority of cas-
es Floridians do not build a type of
house adapted to Florida This is an
out-of-doors state and should be rec
ognized as such To erect homes af-
ter the type in general use in North
ern ATTITUDES is the height of folly. 1t
is fact that each and every one of
! the 500 nights of the year can be en-
joyed on sleeping porch. Why con-
denim human beings to sleep or try to
sleep in small poorly ventilated
rooms when it is so easy to provide
more sensible accommodations If
those who rent houses would ask the
question of the landlord: Has your
house a sleeping porch?" it would not
be long before every house in the
city, no matter how humble, would
have a screened outside place for the
family. The travelling men under
stand and appreciate more than any
other class the absolute need for re-
form in this matter. To show the
trend of the times, one hotel recently
erected in Palatka, has several tiers
of sleeping porches connected with
bedrooms and that hotel is never witt
out full house." In building Of

It. GOVERNOR Of
EBRASKA WORKS
AS DAY LABORER
Forced to Act as Guard
to Make Living for
Wife and Self
(By Associated Press

Lincoln, Nebr., Aug. 12-Pelham
A. Barrows, lieutenant governor of
Nebraska, and for the past week act
ing chief executive during the alb
sence of Governor McKelvie, also is
working as a S. a day strike guard
for the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad.
Being lieutenant governor has
honor but no remuneration" he said,
adding that he took the work when he
and Mrs. Barrows found Eve had
$40 in the bank and l had SLIGO in
my pocket, with not another cent in
the world"
81 had to take this work. Lieuten-
and Governor Barrows told the Asso-
ciated Press last night. 81 could not
get work elsewhere"
Under Nebraska law, the office of
lieutenant governor is non-remuner-
ative although that official draws
$1,000 as presiding officer of the
state assembly in its biennial ses-
sions. Under the constitution the
lieutenant governor when acting in
the absence of the governor, should
receive "the emoluments of that Of
flee" but because the last Legisla-
ture rejected an appropriation bill
providing for that there is no fund
available to meet Mr.. Barrows' claim
for 81 800 for serving as chief exec
utive.
Mr.. Barrows said Governor Nickel
vie did not object to the lieutenant
governor working for the railroad.
While an opinion from the attorney
general declared that the lieutenant
governor attains all the powers of
governor when that official leaves
the state, Mr.. Barrows said work of
the governors office actually is car
ried on through the secretary of state
during the governors absence.
Mr.. Barrows is a former national
commander of the Sons of Veterans.

JUDGE PHILIPS AND
ROAD NUMBER THREE.

hOAD - I NlblJIN IAIINLA-'
In the course Of his remarks here
last Tuesday night Judge H. D. Phil
ips. chairman Of the state road board
stressed the advantage to Putnam
county of connecting up with road
No. 2 from the Georgia line to Gain
esville over the possible improve
ment of Road No. 3. Judge Philips
said that tourists coming into Florida
this winter will come down from the
Georgia line by way Of VaIdosta to
Lake City. thence down the Gaines
vile road and that if Putnam county
is connected up with the Gainesville
road this county will have the first
cross road to the east coast that the
tourists will reach, and this will di
vert thousands Of cars through Put
nam county.
The opinion Of the state chairman
may be correct, but it is not shared
by any very large number Of people
in this county. Tourists who come

Sculptor Frederick MacMonnies' depic-
ton of "Civic Virtue" as a nude and
thoroughly muscled young man enthu-

Protest was voiced by Mary Garrett
Hay and Mrs. James Lees Ladlaw,
noted champions of women's rights, at
the announcement that the MacMon-
MES sculpture was soon to be erected
in city hall park.
Mr.. MacMonnies has depicted the
spirit of his theme as an onward
marching youth, club slung across a
husky shoulder, spnrning with either
foot recumbent and alluring female,
symbolic of all that isn't nice in civic
aspiration.

How to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results.
Take. but q moment to prepare,
and saves you about 81.

Pine is used i'm nearly all prescrip-
tons and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have a remarkabl
effect IN soothing and healing the
membranes OF the throat and chest.
Pine cough svrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The syrup part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put y2h ounces
of Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up
with homemade sugar syrup. Or
yuu can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make a full pint
more than you can buy ready-made
for three times the money. IL is
pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold OF a
cough or cold in way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist
emily loose from the formation of
phlegm. The cause is the same--in-
famed membranes--and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop il
usually in "a hours or less. Splen-
did, too. for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound OF genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and is famous the world over
for its prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "2k ounces Of Pinex"
with directions. and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.
