The Palatka News, July 19, pub- lished the following from the Lake- land News: *The Florida postmaster who wrote tc Atlanta to secure a wife is a shin- ing example of the citizen who does not believe in patronizing home in- dustry. Why didn’t he send to Sears- Roebuck, as many of his ilk do for their other needs?” That postmaster must be a resident of the “Big Scrub.” We take it that all bhunters in this vicinity Kknow W here that is.

The big mail order houses are the staunchest Known, large supporters of the parcels post. Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Sears, Roe- buck & Co., arranged for a million dollars donation to the farmers of the country. It was given out that this money was to be used for in- structing the farmers in each coun- ty about soils so as to make better furmers who would be able, by reason of the education afforded by this million, to increase the products of the soil per acre, and so on. About the time this donation was made that the big mail order house would go into combination under the advice and guiding hand of the big Wall strect money chief, It is gos- sip that Mr. Rosenwald has contribut- ed much money to certain campaign at halt a million cunds, estimated ollars, We do not just now recall any com- the man in resulted in benetit Lation engineercd by Wall strect having Lo the tarmer, mostly it is o gather i what the farmer sei s, the great Harvester Co, Goes Ui arier get us products Chicaper? 1t has npot sent any money | to the =0i] improvement committees, and its meome 1s divect from the soil, A conteibution from a wmail order fiouse waile the agricultural imple- ment factory holds its income from combination prices, must look gueer to the readers of the news columns, and partciularviy the farmer, makes.

Two deficiencies in the average jran cause him this nervons waste resh and lack of punctuality. The rushing man is rarely a man of ac- complishments. The man who does things and does them well, is the mun who knows no other way than to go about his task, contidently, or- derly and on time, e is the who n liis misfortunes. The unfortunate man in his work is tie one who seizes the tail of his job as it passes. This is a working world. The chief order of the day is work. And work is not it is the most bene- ficient disguised blessing that was ever bestowed upon man, Its unpleas- antness is not in itself, but in the State of mind of the man who regards it as unpleasant. The man who is man, stands straight up on his feet, who does not lean upon and pull down other people, must do his work, and he must do it with the best grace at his command. It he is procrastinating, or if he is not punctual, he will find no pleus- man ver talks of a4 curse ure in the daily labor which is his portion.
