Ol The bill providing for the taking of the census of Florida this year has passed the House, and will prob- ably go through the Senate without opposition. The carrying out of the provisions of the bill is placed in the hands of the commissioner of agriculture. It si hoped that an ac- curate census will be taken, as this will furnish the only authentic fig- ures as to the population of the state and the various cities and commun- ' fties thereof until the Federal cen- sus of 1920. ‘Sunrise” says bottled Davis a a aw notices be made to in heaven to the other S v, Because “the hundredth man” makes a success in the newspaper business, people lose ight of the ninety nine failures and jump to the conclusion that there's” millions in it for any who tackle it.

Not a flag or pennant flutters from their mastheads, not a solitary sailor gazes over their sides, no call comes from an officer on the bridge. Here and there you see an old sailor on deck as caretaker. His younger companions are all away at the war. “t is sad to look at those giant bulks with the paint peeling off them.
