Letter From Florida


I wrote letter to the paper
some three or four weeks ago. /
thought then my brother John
would write a letter, telling all
about their trip to Florida, but as
he didn't, l will try and write an
other short letter.
The folks from Columbus, o., re-
port that the Marshalls showed
them a good time while here. Lar
mer and his wife took them on a
trip over to st. Petersburg. We
crossed on the Candy bridge-the
longest automobile toll bridge in
the world, which connects Tampa
and st. Petersburg. Ut is six miles
long). We had a picnic dinner in
the park at St Petersburg. Then
we went on to the Gulf of Mexico.
Here we looked at the sights
until we were all tired, then We
went to Clearwater. This is very
pretty place. We went through
Dunedin back to Tampa. Here we
drove over onto the Davis island.
This is a man made island, built out
in Tampa Bay. The Australian
pines on each side of the driveway
made it very beautiful. We came
back through Plant City, Lakeland
back to Winter Haven, and home.
Two or three days later we made
another trip. We drove about 140
miles south from here, down inAth4
Everglades to Clewiston, to visit
the largest sugar factory in the
United States. We had some New
Lexington people with us on this
trip, Mr. and Mrs. Lark Rushing.
their daughter and her husband Mr..
and Mrs Frank Paskell, and b. B.
Marshall-the latter's wife was sick
with a cold, and was not able to go;
others were Larmer Marshall, wife
and two children Challis and Karyl,
Myron Abel and wife, Mrs Ella
Humphrey, John r. Dougan, Geo.
B. Dougan and wife. When this
sugar plant is in full operation it
takes $500 men to operate it. We
saw them bringing in the cane from
the field and saw the sugar running
out of the spout into the sacks.
They brought in IS ear loads OF
cane while we were there. We saw
them unload one load. It is cut up
in little bits, one and one-half
inches long, then it is ground and
pressed. They add water and lime
to this juice, then it goes through
many large tanks. and is heated SO
many degrees before it is made in
to sugar.
We have had beautiful weather
here all winter, but it still keeps
very dry The boys are still irri-
eating. Geo B. is still eating grape
fruit and oranges and says they are
getting better every day. He is get
ting very anxious to get started
home. AS the time draws nearer, !
don't know whether / can hold him
much longer or not. We want to
leave here about the middle oi
March We will stop at Columbus
and stay a week or two. Everybody |
well as usual.-The Dougans.

John 13:f-f5, for Sunday, March 6:
It was in the upper room in Je-
rusalem. the new headquarters for
the disciples, whero Jesus instituted
the ordinance of the Lords Sup
per and had his last meeting with
his disciples before His crucifxion.
Y. l. '.Now before the feast Of
the Passover, Jesus knowing that
his hour was come that ne should
depart out of the world unto the
Father, having loved his own tina,
were in the world, he loved them
unto the end" All that he had
done in all his life was in love TO
mankind. love that shone more
brightly TO the end.
V. Q "And during supper, the
devil having already put into the
heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon'S
son, to betray him. The secret to
the tragedy of evil is in the force
of an evil spirit that enters the
soul and mind of man who has an
evil imagination and inclination.
We are responsible for our inclina
tions be they good or bad.
VS.. 8, 4. "Jesus, knowing that
the Father had given all things into
his hands and that he came from
God, and goeth unto God, riseth
from supper and layeth aside his
garments and he took a towel and
girded himself" There had been a
strife among the disciples revealing
motives of self seeking and super
iority; to teach humility, service
and brotherhood he gave a lesson
of humble service; might have laid
claim to lordship with the right Of
being served rather than serving
for he came from God.
V. 5. ''Then he poured water in
10 the basin and began to wash the
disciples feet, and to wipe them
with the towel wherein he was
girded.'' All arrangements had been
made for the performance of the
common menial duty of having |
servant wash the feet of the I
travellers as they entered this room [
"a common custom No servant
having performed this duty, it was
4 fine opportunity for Christ to
teach a valuable lesson to his dis
oiples.
V. g.. $50 he cometh to Simon
Peter. He saith unto him, Lord,
lost thou wash my feet?" Peter
was impulsive, outspoken, and SO
naturally spoke as he did. We are
Enown by the way we naturally
peak.
V. Z. "Jesus answered and said
INTO him, what l do thou knowest
lot now; but thou shalt understand
lereafter." The disciples did not
ret comprehend that Christ was
3od and so could not understand
he full depth of the condescension.
after the resurrection, they would
emember the scene and marvel.
Y. s. Peter saith unto him,
hou shalt never wash my feet
esus answered him, if | wash thee
lot. thou hast no part with me-"

PLANNER FOR UNION
SQUARE IS ORDERED.
National Capital Park Group
Authorizes Employment
of Consultant.

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission today authorized
its vice chairman and executive officer,
Lieut. Col. U. s. Grant, 3d. to employ,
If need be, an outside consultant to
assist in drafting final plans for Union
Square, which will be the eastern
terminus of the Mall, near the
Capitol.
The commission studied a plan for
Union Square submitted by its staff
for handling the intricate traffic pro-
bIem that will be presented with four
roads leading into it, and after dis
cusion, decided that further study
should be made.
Report on Building Lines.
Charles w. Eliot, I'd, the commits
sion's director of planning, submitted a
report on building lines in the Mall, in
which he advocated that structures
should not be permitted to obscure the
vista of greenSward and trees, stretch
ing between the washington Monument
and the Capitol.
The commission went ON record as
favoring a width of so feet, between
Constitution avenue and Washington
Circle, along Twenty-third street as a
future traffic artery leading to and from
the Arlington Memorial Bridge Twen-
ty-third street is now little over 30
feet wide
Widening Disputed.
The Commission had before it for
consideration today the proposed widen
ing of Constitution avenue, from Vir-
ginia avenue to the Potomac River
There is a controversy as TO whether
the width of this should be 70 or 80
feet. The Fine Arts Commission is
blamed for the placing of the wall OF
the National Academy Of Science in
its present location, forming an OBJ
struction to the widening of Constitu-
ton avenue to the full 80 feet. The
opening of the Arlington Memorial
Bridge last week end convinced some
of the interested officials that Consti-
tuition avenue should be widened, as
soon as possible, to avoid bottle-neck
effect.
Oficials of the Arlington Memorial
Bridge Commission said today that they
are making preliminary plans for the
widening of Constitution avenue as
soon as practicable
