Be a good sport, Forget everything and take your defeat ike a little man, or a big man, as the ease may be. No matter what it was that bobbed up in the campaign—forget it now, and stand by those who were elected by the people. It is no discredit to be defeated in an elec- |” tion. Somebody gets beaten in every race where there is more than one candidate. The beauty spots of America are all right as nature made them, and they do not need additional adornment in the form of paper boxes, tin cans, etc. i th The ladies remaining at the polls until late at night, during the counting of ballots, cause the men to be more careful in”their conduct. That's one benefit of the femininé interest in politics. PHILADELPHIA'S “SESQUI” The opening of the big Sesqui-centennial ex- position at Philadelphia, to celebrate the 150th Se Millversary of American independence, is a nation- al event, and the whole country will wish the best ,of success to the city that is providing this notable Zabeervance. Expositions like this are great centers for the ‘distribution of ideas. People come from all over : the country, and see the latest products of science and art, and they go home and introduce these ideas in their own business and their own home ‘ Jecalities, and progress is accelerated. Also it is } ubeful for people to get together in such places ‘from all over the country, When they thus meet ‘etrangers from far away, they decide that the peo- | ple:from distant scenes are mighty good folks, and | they wish to know them better, and to unite in pol- | ieigs that shall benéfit all sections.

Plant City already had a good paper in the Courier, when the News entered the field. Plant City, double the size of Tarpon Springs, will have all it can do to support one daily in a manner that will allow that one daily to be a credit to the city. “As a result of the News starting up, with the hard competition it made, Plant City found itself in a short time with two mediocre papers, best small papers in the state. ers were obliged to subscribe for two papers in- stead of one to be sure they did not miss some- thing in the news line. Everybody lost, the town, the advertisers, the readers and finally—the News. “The Courier is rapidly regaining the high position it held once before, and with the second paper out of the way, Plant City will soon have o paper that will do the town a great deal of good. “Chambers of Commerce should conditions thoroughly before they give their O.

The sundial was perhaps the only instrument em- ployed for timekeeping from the dawn of civiliza- tion until the invention of the water clock, ascribed to Plato, about 400 B. C. Clocks were not invented until many centuries later. While a primitive instrument, called the horologium, is said to have been devised in the 9th century, A. D., the earliest clock of which any description has been presetved is one made in Egypt about the year 1232. A beginning in. clock- making was made in Germany about 1364, the clocks being regulated by balances. The invention of the mainspring in 1500 and the pendulum in 1588 gave great impetus to clocimaking and it is belicved that the first watches were made shortly afterward. But the minute hand was not added until after the invention of the balance spring, about 1660. made, both in watches and clocks, until we heve the almost perfect chronometers and other time pieces of the present. Ay 2 While Mr. Ohlson’s idea of: a radio watch, which may be carried in the pocket while kept go- ing through impulses from a distant station, may appear fantastic, the wonderful achievements al- bility. NO LACK OF WORDS How often do we find difficulty in thinking of just the right word to express a certain idea? Even the greatest writers must often stop to weigh | their words in order to hit upon the most appro- priate one, while few speakers can observe all the | niceties of expression without writing out their speeches and memorizing them beforehand. These difficulties are not due to any lack of | Possibly | words in the English language, however. it may be a result of our having too many to choose from. The latest unabridged dictionaries contain constantly. Noah Webster’s first dictionary, published in 1828, contained only about 70,000 words; the about 175,000, as compared with the 400,000 rec- ognized words of today. Yet President Wilson, who was one of the most gifted masters of English the world has jever known, in 75 different public addresses used a total of only 6,221 different words, published books; however, he used about 60.000 In three of his This shows | words are used in writing than in speaking.
