The Miami Herald has been sold to a republican and this should be news after they looked for the other one in 1936.— The Lake City Reporter. A few weeks ago, the writer in- formed a friend in the frigid north that he was forwarding to him a. full grown sea horse. But instead of going to the post- office he went to the freight station in quest of the horse. Imagine his surprise when he received the gift in a three-inch container. It was a horse on him—but a jittle one. Translations from one language to ‘another are often odious. For instance the Spanish “Semana Allegre” translated to a “Week of Joy” doesn’t get over the frivol- ity implied in “allegre.” “Simpatico” is another Spanish word for which there is none in the English language. The near- est approach, perhaps, is “agreeable” or “charming,” yet is not exactly expressive of the word. The Tampa Tribune objects to West- brook Pegler dubbing Florida as “the well- -kept woman of the well-to-do” and so say ave all, The paper states further that *Florida may stand for criticisms of her politics, her gambling, her officials, her courts, her lax law enforcement and what- mot—but when her virtue is assailed, she ‘pught to resent it.” Righto; when our hastity is assailed we must put on our lirmor and come to her defense. ‘Sulphanilamide for the past two years as been a medicinal sensation, but when drug company in Bristol, Tenn., con- teived the idea of preparing the drug in liquid instead 6f powder form and solved it in diethylene glycol, he innocent- ly became the cause of more than 60 deaths, when he shipped the preparation to druggists and physi in several states, who sold and prescribed the medi- cine in that form. Sulphanilamide was used on Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. to cure a streptococcic throat infection about a which the dis- clans year ago with success, after drug became in great demand, ! Bryant added, but the work of the pupils Principal Horace O’Bryant of Monroe County High School reports a very inter- esting fact to The Citizen. The honor rolls for the Junior and Senior divisions of the High School for the first six weeks of the present semester is the largest since he has been principal. A total of 149 pupils attained an average | better than the 1.50 required to make the | rolls. As yet, no raising of the scholarship requirements is contemplated, Mr. O’- ‘will be carefully studied and if it continues to improve it is quite probable that re- quirements will be stiffened. This means the educational standard will be lifted a notch. Local interest in education most SIX. is certainly rising. During the past years, there has been nearly a hundred per- cent increase in the | students from this city. | This way lies progress! | number of college WOULD BRING GREAT CHANGES ~ When a mechanical cotton-picker is invented thousands of workers will be displa¢éd and@he” cultunap economy of thg ¢otton-growii tes may be radically disturbed. t : This is. rez to the cotton- picker because when it comes it will be a boon to mankind making thé cost of cot- ton-picking lower and probably improve the condition of workers, although this re- sult will be a long-run development, While there are several cotton-pick- ing machines under trial today the opinion of economic experts is that they do not meet the problem successfully. In fact, it is said that hand-picking is cheaper when one takes into consideration the cotton that the machine fails to get, the loss of seed and the damage to the lint itself. A successful cotton-picker would probably revolutionize the cotton-growing regions to an extent comparable to the in- troduction and use of machinery in connec- tion with wheat and- other field crops. That it will come in the future seems cer- tain and, in the meantime, cotton-growing States might as well begin to plan for the day ahead. ‘HOW MANY ARE A FEW? p RE Ty In a somewhat light vein the Christian Science Monitor once asked and discussed the question, “How Many Are a Few?” No conclusion was reached, as there appeared to be no definite authority which might be cited to establish the answer. Later a correspondent in Newark call- ed attention to the fact that a small Scotch boy had found the answer long ago, ac- cording to a story which may be _ briefly related thus: The boy was entitled toa “few ap- ples” as a prize for memorizing more verses of scripture than any other member of his Sunday school glass, whereupon the teacher gave him three apples. The boy demurred, asserting that he should have eight apples. > Pressed fot His “authority the lad triumphantly pfoduce®it’from no less a source thaa-the-Holy Writ, quoting Peter, third chapter, \72@thq/werse, which says: “Few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.” His contention being incontrovertible, the boy got his eight apples. And, there- fore, if anyone should ask, “a few’ means eight. NOVEMBER CELESTIAL EVENTS Two interesting celestial events are | scheduled for November and sky-gazers | will not miss them.
