SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE

its intention of standing the expense of the Identification
of one mile of Polk county highway than along
the Barlow Chamber of Commerce with like PROPOSE
ton If few more public spirited organizations in Polk
county will follow the example of the Barlow folks it will
not be long until general plan of identification will
be in evidence But seriously the start to be made is
worthy of special praise as afordng practical demon
sration of what it means to have attractive highways
But any general countrywide plan ought to be handled
by the representatives of all the people, the board of
county commissioners and the expense be borne by the
county.

Much is being written and printed about the school
boy who committed suicide in New York because he
had failed in his examinations and had reached the
cIuson that he was of no account and never would be
any good in the world Viewed at this distance it seems
that he ought to have been thoughtful and tactfu enough
to allow others to pass judgment his qualifications and
to least have permitted some else say there
was the maxim" of a man in him. 1t is surprising what
lot can be done with poor material in these days of wei
fare and community work.

enlarge their plant considerably. it being stated
that the Lakeland plant is only paying it's way

MRS. EMMA LEAVENGOOD

Mrs. Emma Burns Leavengood,
widow of Adam ]. Leavengood, pass
ed away at her home on North Mag
nolia street, last night, in the 72nd
year of her age.
Mrs. Leavengood's maiden name
was Miss Emma Burns, and she was
born in Northumberland county, Pa,
in 1850. She lived her early life near
Selinsgrove, Pa, and was married to
Mr.. A. ]. Leavengood in 1869. She
was member of the Baptist church
since childhood.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leavengood came to
Florida in 1887 They lived tenn
porarily at Kendrick, on the east and
west coast and had a residence at
Lake Weir, but the permanent home
of the family has been in Ocala for
thirty years.
Mr.. Leavengood preceded his wife

Of nine children and the last to pass
away. She was preceded only a few
weeks ago by her last surviving
brother, Mr.. Frank Burns, of Shick-
shiny, Pa, who visited her here
about three years ago.
Mrs. -Leavengood was one of those
quiet, housekeeping women, whose
true worth was known only to her
loved ones and intimate friends. She
was unceasing in her love and care
for her children until the day came
that the feebleness of age compelled
her to fold her useful hands, after
which she constantly helped them
with her good wishes and prayers
Her death was like passing from q
long day of usefulness into we'll de.

WHEN FRANCE WAS CREDITOR

Americans who are critieising
France for not paying up promptly
should read the following from the
New York Tribune:
The report from Paris that expenses
for reconstructing the devastated re-
gions will continue to be so high for
the next few years that France will
be unable to pay any interest on her
debt to US does not come as a surprise.
In 1882 we made a treaty with
France about the repayment of the
Is ,000,0 900 livres which she had loaned
US. One article. contained special rec
ognition of the fact that on account of
Americas financial condition the re-
payment of the principal could not be
made within the period stipulated
when the advances were granted. An
other, which lends significance to the
present attitude of France, stated that
"His Majesty, being willing to give
the said United States new proof of
his affection and friendship, has been
pleased to make present of, and to
forgive the whole arrears of interest
to this day, and from thence to the
date of the treaty of peace; favor
which the minister of the Congress of
the United States acknowledged to
flow from the pure bounty of the king
and which he accepts in the name OF
the said United States with profound
and lively acknowledgements"
AS some of this interest had re-
manned unpaid since 1778, the French
king was making a concession of nc
small value to the then impoverished
government of the United States.
The treaty of peace was signed in
1888, but so poor did the country con.
tinue that, contrary to its treaty
agreements, for seven years more nc
interest or principal was paid. It was
not until the federal government was
organized and Hamilton had pressed
through Congress his measures fol
the financial reform of the country
that payment was resumed. Ultimate
ly the entire principal was repaid ant
interest in full from 1888 forward.
Thus France forgave outright tn.
unpaid interest for the first five year:
and during a period of eight year:
thereafter waited patiently while We
failed to pay the interest on our deb
and failed to live up to our treat!
obligations. Recognizing frankly tina
we were unable to pay, she conformet
her policy to meet the financial ca
pacity of her debtor Are we to b.
less patient and generous towart
France than she was toward US?

Ocala Ten Years Ago

Many of our people were grieved to-
day to hear of the death of our old
friend and fellow citizen, Mr.. L. S.
Beck, who died this morning at 8:45.
The news came as a surprise, although
Mr. Beck has not been very robust OF
late years, he was always able to be
about and and his friends had reason
to believe he would be with them for
many years.
When a man tells newspaper re-
porter that he has no good news and
no bad news, the reporter is pardon
able for thinking that that man has
attained Nirvana.
Mr.. II. S. Chambers has heard from
the elk that is to be shipped to the
Ocala ZOO. The animal will be along
in few weeks, and it is just as well
that the shipment has been delayed
few weeks until cooler weather, as
elks have all their bodies covered with
heavy coats of hair-the four-leggeC
ones, we mean-of course.
