soIomon,s Magic Carpet.

The story Of Prince Ahmed tells
how the magic carpet of Tangu would
transport any one who sat on 1t 10 the
place he wished ia reach.
Its counterpart appears in the
Koran. King solomon. 1t is told, had
a carpet with the same magic quality.
Il was made of green silk and on II
was placed his throne when he wished
10 travel. Spirits stood on the left
hand of the king, and on his right
stood men and women. Then solomon
told the wind where ne wished to go,
and Immediately the carpet rose into
the air with oil who stood upon H.
aud Travelled swiftly t. It's destination,
while birds with outstretched wings

Resolution by Supervisor Defer
Whereas, The present economic
conditions demand a material reduc-
stion in taxes;
And Whereas. To bring about such
Ia change requires curtailment of eX-
.penditures in various governmental
activities;
And Whereas, It is the opinion of
the County Board of Iron county that
the employment of a county nurse
can be dispensed with as one Of such
governmental activities;
And Whereas, The employment of
"a county nurse is at present compul-
sorry under the law;
Now, Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, By
the County Board of Iron County in
annual session assembled, that we re-
quest the Assemblyman of Iron coun-
ty and the State Senator of this dis
trict, at the next session of the legis-
lature, to work for and vote for, a
change in present law governing the
employment of county nurses, to
amend that law so as to make it
optional with each county board in
the state of Wisconsin, as to whether
county nurse shall longer be en-
ployed by each county.
The above resolution was unani-
mously adopted.

CLIPPED COMMENT

\ Hardec county citizen recently
went TO county commissioner and
complained about his taxes being
high. and showed his tax receipts TO
prove it. He owned a ten acre place
and had a home on it and it was as
sesscd at $4,000. The county com
missioner asked him if he would take
$4,000 for his place and ne said no.
Then the commissioner began to an
alyza his taxes and showed the tax
payer that although he had hard
surfaced road from his home to his
county seat, yet he was only paying
about ten cents n month taxes for
the privilege Of using such high
way. The argument went no furth-
er.-Wauchula Advocate.

BUILD THE SHORTCUT

The Fort Myers Tropical News is
formation given tourists bound for
Fort Myers as to the condition OF the
roads to that place The News tells
of man coming from Tampa who
inquired as TO the condition OF the
roads at Arcadia and again at Punta
Gorda. At Arcadia, according to the
News, five of the six men he asked
told him that it would be impossible
to get through, while the sixth one
told him that he might possibly make
it by going by Punta Gorda. At
Punta Gorda four OF five people who
were asked about the road told him
that it was very bad, while the fifth
a garage man, told him he could get
to Fort Myers if he kept to the
grade. He followed the garage mans
advice and found the road to be
good, "and yet" exclaims the News,
''of all the people he had consulted
he found only one man who told the
truth"
We long ago arrived at the con-
clusion that no matter what one says
about the Fort Myers road, it is an
accident if he tells the truth, for the
condition of the road is dependent
upon weather conditions. 1t may be
trayelable today and very bad to-
morrow-and on about 800 days of
every year one is safe in describing
the road as bad and can never say
without qualification that it is good,
and it is utterly useless to attempt
TO conceal the fact. II Is advertised
as bad all over the country, and if
the truth were known it is likely
that Punta Gorda suffers just as
much as result of its bad condition
as does Fort Myers. Travellers not
familiar with the country associate
Punta Gorda and Fort Myers with it
as it is known as the Punta Gorda-
Fort Myers road" without remem-
BERN that it is south of Punta Cor
da, and it has been cussed so much
many people have the idea that all
roads anywhere near either place are
bad The short route road between
Fort Myers and Punta GOrda viii
provide permanent solution OF the
problem and give Fort Myers . much
needed inlet and outlet from and to
the north. Both places have suffer
ed greatly on account of the lack of
Il good road between them and when
such road is opened it should be
made the occasion for joint ccle-
bFatiOn.

The Newspaper Man

The school Of journalism of the
University OF Missouri has issued a
bulletin in which it sets forth a list
of books which are considered essen
tial to the development of we'll
equipped newspaper man. Not count
ing many volumes offered for sub
sidiary reading the list has 497 titles.
The bulletin does not suggest how
any newspaper man is to secure these
books. or how he is to find time to
study them, but the list is very in
terestng as suggestion of the wide
range of knowledge which must be
possessed by the competent editor.
The compilation made by the Mis-
sOnri school includes only what may
be termed technical works, aside
from a group of reference works
which every well-regulated library
must contain. Outside the range of
these technical works there is no pos
siDle limit upon the reading which a
+wspaper man must do to keep him
self fully equipped for his work
The other fellows job always
looks more attractive to person
than does his own. There is prob
ably no profession which looks easier
10 those who know nothing of it than
that OF journalism. 1t sens that the
only qualification that is needed is
little facility in writing. and an un-
limited amount of nerve.

cutiYc of the average newspaper is

into discussion of the relative inn
portance of weight and punch, cont
pared with '1eg work" and speed in
general.
All of us can apply the idea to
everyday life--the man of quick de
cision and swift action beating the
man OF big standing, much influence
and great power.
Most OF us, if we had to face Jack
Johnson in fight. would rather be
eight feet tall and tip the scales at
$50 pounds, instead of the small man
who annoys him.
Nevertheless, Jacks views should
increase the self-confidence of the
gentlemen who have to stand on tip
toes in crowd to see the girl dem
onstrator in the drug store window.
The secondary Importance of size
or strength has been recognized by
the philosophers since before So

Clean Up and Look Up

! If every town in the South would
/ initiate most Of the towns in Florida
the South would become noted
throughout the world for the beauty
and charm and cleanliness Of its
! towns.
Cleanliness. it has been said, is
next to GOdliness. A dirty individ-
ual is neither clean spiritually nor
mentally. Dirt makes for ruin physi-
cally. mentally, morally. This is as
true OF town as of an individual.
The dirty town, the town full OF rub
bish, OF, untidy houses, of muddy
streets, of insanitary conditions, is
non-progressive materially, morally
and educationally. Neither moral
nor material advancement tiourishas
in dirty, unkempt dwellings or in
unkempt towns.
If any town or city is ambitious
for advancement. or il even q few of
ITS men and women are ready TO de-
vote their time and energy to the
bcttCrment OF the community, the
surost way to achieve success is to
clean up-make the back yards and
front yards clean, make streets clean
and keep them clean, encourage the
people, white and black alike. to
beantify their homes and their yards,
stimulate love for and pride in
ther homes and in their towns, re-
pair the tumble-down yard fences,
paint up, make things as clean out
side as they should be inside, and
then that community will look up
mentally. morally and materially.
No community which does not
clean up and paint up, which does
not do its best to have clean streets
and clean yards. has any right to
look up and face the world.
"A cheap coat" said President
In the same way it might be said
4 dirty town makes dirty people; a
dirty people makes moral and ma
terial dirt and decay. 1t is the duty
| OF all men and women to make their
homes and their home towns just as
clean and attractive and beautiful as
possible. He who falls short in this
respect falls short of his duty to God
and man, it matters not what else he
may Manufacturers Record.

any statement that it IS not possible
to get here and that the country is

are as good as they have been for sew
eral years, with the exception of a
portion OF the road in DeSoto county,
and Charlotte county's portion of the
road to the north is now in better
condition than since it was first built.
Several weeks ago heavy rains fell
and few bridges were washed out,
| but these have been repaired long
ago, and as for the country here or
anywhere near here being under

has it ever existed as a result of the
rains.

that because they have written an es-
say that has pleased the teacher they
must therefore be lifted to literary
cndcavor. AS a matter OF fact there
are few professions which are more
cxacting. The successful newspaper
man has to know everything. Or
course. no one can know everything,
| but the nearer he approaches this
ideal the better equipped the editor
or reporter is, provided, OF course,
he has certain other qualifications.
Chief of these is large amount of
common sense.
The reason it is necessary to know
so much is because the newspaper is
read by people in every field OF en-
deayor The newspaper in the course
Of its daily delving into human life
touches sometimes all of these fields.
II an error of statement is made
somebody will know it, and there is
usually no he3itancy in calling the
attention or the writer to his slip.
II is great job. this of writing
for the public. There are few moro
interesting tasks, but there are few
which are move eN&cting. The aver
age newspaper man is through at 4
much earlier age than is the repro
of almos, any other pro-
feSSiOn The public is m0TCileSS and
he who thinks that he can serve the
public with a smattering of know
ledge, or a minimum of technical
skill is due for rude awakening.
The Punta Gorda herald., 1922-11-24

The newspaper man must know
history and science and philosophy
He must be in touch with every
phase of life in the day in which
he is living. He must have tact
and some degree of literary skill.
He furnishes to many people the only
mental pabulum which they receive
and the responsibility upon him IS
very heavy. Fortunately, the aver
age newspaper man is conscious OF
this and holds a very serious attitude
toward his work. He may not kho"
all that the books contain but he is
constantly trying to learn IN order
that he may adequately teach.-Ml-
ami Herald.
