PURELRE e S You might shout yourself hoarse with an acute attack of patriotism on July 4, but if it does not keep over until the following day, suf- ficlently active to make you vote for the school bonds, it will be difficult tc convince people generally that your patriotism is of the right trand. LI I A few days ago people were dying with heat in some of the northern States; now for the past two or three days a large territory has been in tke grip of a belated cold spell, which has damaged fruit and vegetables iun mwany States. Meanwhile Florida's record for the just-right Kkind of .weather continues unbroken. S e S Well, they turned down N. J. Lii- iard, the Florida aspirant for public printer, and that plum goes to a Jer- seyite. This administration hag been | declare practically a failure already | because it has not been carefal enough about pleasing Claude L'En- ; gle; and, Woodrow, a few morg, stunts like this public printer one will get US riled. Then where'll you Ye? SR ha R Orlando boosters are thinking uf1 pulling off a stunt similar to that of the Lakeland Board of Trade when it made up its automobile parade to Tampa. The Orlandoites are think- ing of paying a visit to Lakeland and| cother cities of this section to get jdeas and inspiration for better work | in upbuilding their own city, It is a compliment to Lakeland to be in- cluded in the itinerary of a bunch avowedly looking for examples of mu-| nicipal progressiveness, and Lake-| land will acknowledge the (:nmth ment by giving the delegation a! hearty welcome. —0 The Supreme Court has upheld the iew requiring newspapers to make semi-annual statements of owner- ghip and circulation, under penalty of being deprived of the postal privi- ieges. As far as this paper is con- cerned, it has no objection to mak- ing such a statement every day, hav- fng nothing to conceal in the prem- 16es. At the same time there is a great deal of unwarranted interfer- ence in the private affairs'of news- peper publishers. For- - inftance, newspapers may not extend credit cxcept for a certain period to sub- geribeis who are known to be per- fectly good Mor the amount. How would our grocers and merchants like their business looked -after for them in this way? As a matter of fuct, the newspapers are the favorite tar; ot of every little peanut politi- cien who essays to ‘‘get even” be- cause he has been given too much or tco little publicity. However, let ns te cheerful, We cn still go on per- forming the ungrateful task of ai- tempting to create statesmen out of meacly little politicians—and we can take the hide off of some of these little two-by-fours when they get too disgustingly venal In most lnstances 1t {8 a vulnerably corrupt man whe, when “clothed in a little brief nu-\ | | \ 1 thority,” delights in harassing the pewspapers, for the newspaper is the natural and inalienable enemy of just such cattle. iy CALLING US DOWN.

But you will see that thein which thinks | am a lady chang:s there minds when it comes to votin tor the most popler lady, and whzn it comes to votin for the most popler gentleman they will all think 1 aw a lady agan, Some folks is that way { am not mentonin names, furthers than to say there name is legon. 1 would like to have been a moviu pictur acter. 1 offen think of that. I could of <lone so if 1 had of pay=d wttention to it and went after tiv job, but I will not try now, as it would often take me away from home. Not that 1 would not like to go to the burnin desserts of Africa, but there is Marthy to be thought of. Sue Pas never liked the hethen in this country and if she was to get over in there own lands where they far cutnumber the white poppilation she would not feel at home. 1 took the part of the corps of Caesar one time in a little seen from lam]et played by our literary society back where i ceme from, and everyboddy sayed . give a very life-like presentation ol the carachter. | would not speek oi wy own talents this way, but 1 know from what you have sayed that you ure one which apprechiates my abii- iiys. Before 1 forget what 1 started to write about, I will now come to the point. Are we, cr are we not goins to do some thing about the schoc. proposition? It has hung lire about loug enough. It is panefull to me to have to heer that there is somc peeple in town which is not alive the importence of the matter, Everyl citizen of Lakeland had ought to hang there heds in shame and neve lift them up agan until] we h.xu got a new school house. We are no. givin a eqar deel to the most impor- tent of our fare citizens, our chil- dern. How can our civilization flur- ish if we are not rasin helthy an< nappy childern? 1 would like to heer \ anser to the subject. The trubblc s they is peeple in this town which 5 not brod minded. I hope this re- sark will not be coppyed into other appers where it will be red by thc autside werld, bm it is a fact. wave ich hat was good Well, 1 have been' . . inin generation. have it. And the same way with ' /in too good for me if it can be got. You feel the same way likely, and your children will feel the same wa'. wWhat is good enough for us will not 1 ne good enough for our children be- | cause while likely it is the best to b> had today it will not be 8o a few )ll‘ls hence, especially if some of us | will now arise in our mights and sce {hat somethin is done to make this | town better than it used to be be- fore we was livin in it ments for the schooling of our chi'- dern. As it is now we are not even tekin care of there helth. These is smells about as far. Hill is the use of beetin about th bush? There aint no reeson of pride or prejudice or earthly state which had ought to stand in the way of us gettin a new school house and fixin3 up the one we've got. It is hinte i | around that some men is actin child- ish and just poutin in this matter This had not ought to be. When | have got feelins agin a man I am reddy to take it out of hig hide but 1 am not willin to strike at the in- rercent childern for my own spite, 1 have never beleeved they was spitu about this. 1 have layed it all down which we are not able to see other peeple's side of things. This is what we should ernest|y seek to avoid in our own childern, therefore I arise in my dignity and declare we have got to have a new scool house. All them which is in faver, signify by sayin “L", 1 fergot 1 was just writin, If I had not writ so much, I woull write more. 3o no more at present from your true frend, UNCLE HENRY. P. S.

The analysis of the soil is one of first importance and the only true) guide to intelligent treatment. | This is one of the things our State Legislature has been sadly neglect-| ful of. The only one extant is that published by A A. Pearsons, 1897, "l and is very limited; only six places in Polk county are given when we all know there are more than six classes or kinds of soil in Polk coun- ty. Some of our States are now mak- ing analysis of every forty-acre tiact, county by county. About fif- teen years ago the state of Iilinois ap- propriated $10,000 for soil analysis. As a result of that expenditure mi!- lions of bushels of corn have been added to her crop each year. The res They is noth-, l We have not gou addekate arrange- | facts which crys to high heven and | What in Sa.o! duce crops should be the aim of ev- ery one. Agricultural chemistry sec- |onded by agricultural bacteriology 1s doing much to assist all farmers an: ! growers to know where they are, i: ! they only avail themselves of what is |ulreudy known, and as the amouut 0. research is increasing a hundred i fold year by year it will not be long before farming and growing will be 're(luu-d to an exact science, Now, ’mrm science, for its true meaning is | knowledge, real knowledge, not what is guessed at or though to be true. | but what is known to be true. The reason there is so much con- fusion and so many different methods among farmers is largely because each is governed by experience of his own, on his own land. If he hap- pened to start right, he may succeed pretty well but can not benefit his neighbor much because of the differ- lence in his soil constituents. W. H. CONIBEAR. (Continued.)
