A PROGRAM OF PERMANENCY

The United States government has long ago demon
srated its determination not to encourage counenance
either cheaply roads cheap material, realizing that
spending the peoples money in a road investment, that
Investment must be made permanent possible. 1t
is gratifying to note in a Washington dispatch that the
new federal aid highway bill recently signed by Pres-
dent Harding and providing $500 100000 for highway
construction during the three years starting July st of
this year indirectly inAicts penalty the community
that builds cheap and costly-tomantain pavements
important horoughfarss The federal money is dstrib
uted 10 the various states with the understanding that
each state will match its quota dollar for dollar The
government through the Bureau of Public Roads. De-
partrAen of Agriculture not seeking to dictate what type
of pavement shall be constructed in any given community
specifies that the type of surface must be adequate for the
traffic anticipated However, the government does in
s on protecting its investment by providing that the
rous States cut of their pocket must keep all fed
era aid roads III good condcn of repair If this is not
done, the government will itself maintain any road not
properly maintained and will deduct the from the
states federal aid allotment Highway engineers point
out that the community which devoes its quota of fed

. THE ENJOYMENT OF CITIZENSHIP

Mayor Hubert Petteway stressed truth in his
marks while presiding at the open forum the city char
ter being voted today when he said that and
no woman fulfilled all the duties Of citizenship Until they
went to The polls and cast ballot on whatever issues
might be up for settlement
If there is any one great danger confronting the Amer
lean people today it the danger arising from the dis
franchsed army Of men and who stand unarmed
when it comes to any political emergency. They may
be kened to the FIVE foolish virgins of scripture whose
lamps lacked supply Of oil at critical time when oil
was the biggest need. And the door shut.
Right here in Lakeland the door closed today to
scores of people who should have been in a position
exercise their franchise. Aside entirely from the ques
on of whether there interest lack of interest
In the charter there duty incumbent every citizen
and that duty is the registering of the individual opinion
on all matters affecting the general welfare.
The rights of citizenship are as the FURNISHED lamps of
the virgins Those lamps attractive and beautiful
the handwork of clever workmen who sought to make
enduring the efforts Of brain and hand. The lamp OF
citizenship was designed make brighter and happier all
human beings within the influence of its light The fuel
within the bowl is the love of freedom, the joy of being
Of service the opportunity for doing good the privilege of
sharing in one anolher's burdens for the veal
Without this fuel the lamp but hollow SHE'LL beautiful
to lock upon the object CT much praise but useless in the
service of humanity.
The vializing power of citizenship the ballot box
Denied approach to this shrine of American freedom the
individual is in an unhappy position. The door is
closed at the very time when it should be wide open and
there is consequently keen disappointment because of in
ability to exercise all the functions of citizenship.
The remedy for this trouble lies in the due processes
of law registration and the payment of poll taxes. These

NEW REFRIGERATION PLANT
FOR EDMONSoN GROCERY

The Edmonson Grocery Co. has just
installed most complete and modern
refrigeration plant which affords a
much greater cooling capacity than
the plant previously in use.
1.-THE necessity of adequate refrig-
Grafton facilities in the modern groc-
cry store is realized more and more
by the grocer who tends to keep pace
with an increasing demand on the part
of the public for foodstuffs of pure and
high grade quality; therefore" states
Mr.. Edmonson, I'VE have spared no
expense to give our trade the best
that is to be had, and our present
equipment has been installed with the
purpose in view of meeting our needs
for sometime to come"
This firm operates a commissary at
Tancred and will place the old refrig-
Grafton plant in the store there.
This is another step toward the
growth and development which has
characterized the Edmonson Grocery
Store since it's inception.
