HETHERINGTON, EDITOR One year Six months .. Three months Delivered anywhere conts a week. THE LAKELAND NEWS, A weekly newspaper giving a resume of local matters, <crop conditions, county affairs, etc. Sent anywhere for $1.50 per year. We have a railroad folder show- ing twenty-eight distinct routes to san Francisco, but not a single tip on how to get the fare. —0 The Jasper News says: “Those half-pint packages will make excel- lent fish bait.” Just the thing for suckers. SR In the merry little war between the Tampa Tribune and the Bradentown Journal, the Tribune should ‘“‘never say Dye.” —0 “will be War Soon” is the cheer- ful and prophetic headline the Fort Myers Press uses in connection With an article about the troubles in Eu- rope. —0 One big trouble we foresee with these two States they're going to make out of Florida is that there is going to be entirely too mad\ cap- jtals for them. iy e The man who desires to know “ls it hot enouzh for you,” has an able partner in the person who insists on asking “when do you think the war will end?” g The Kaiser scems still to be be- hind in answering his mail.

If you succeed, he’ll come a-runnin’ g The Legislature didn’t hesitate to vote in favor of taking a junket on Sunday, but it seriously condidered Jegislation to prevent freight trains running on Sunlay—a measure that would mean incalculable loss to the State's growers and truckers. —0 These are days when we should all take a moment off to drink an jce water toast to Dr. Gorrie. This noted Floridian was the inventor of artificial ice, thereby contributing as much to the comfort of the human race as any man of his age. —0 1f we may do so with honor, we would like to make peace overtures with Powell, during the heated term, anyway. Not that we are ‘“‘too proud to fight,” but that in the As- gociated Press controversy we feel we are “so right that it is not nec- essary to fieht.” —0 The Tampa Times says of Perry Wall, candidate for United States senator: “Mr. Wall has and de- gerves the esteem of many of the Jeading business men of the United States and the West Indies.’ Which may be true, but the latter will not furnish him many votes in his race for United States senator. Every dog has his day down here in Florida. We thought the limit had been reached with “Father’s Day,” but now comes the Legislature and designates the second Friday in October of each year as ‘“Farmers' PDay.” This, probably, is intended to be the only day in the year that the farmer, is not expected to farm. ——age Always told you Woodrow Wilson was a pretty smart fellow, and it proof were lacking we might cite the fact that he wrote two letters on the subject of State-wide prohibi- tion, without getting in bad with either side. It is claimed the let- ters are not inconsistent; yet the ad- vocates of State-wide prohibition use one of the letters to show that Wil- son favors that policy, and the op- ponents use the other to prove that be is acainst it. An ordinary smart man would have written nothing at all; but it requires an extraordinary degree of smartness to write two Jetters on such a subject and get away with it. ——— i Subscribers are notified that we can no longer accept swamp cabbage on .subscription.

The highway commission or state enzineer makes requisition to the state prison authorities for such number of pris- oners as he can use effectively and the prison authorities turn over to him such prisoners as are suitable for the road work. The prison commission or board of control of state institutions is held responsible for the development of the convict road work in some nine states: Colorada, Indiana, Iowa, Kan- sas, Missouri, Michigan, North Da- kota, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. State prisoners are turned over to the county authorities to be worked on the county roads in Florida, Georgla, and North and South Caro- lina. This system is not approved by the National Committee on Pris- ons and Prison Labor, which holds that the state under no circum- stances is justified in delegating the to county authorities. The system in New York State is also far from satisfactory, as it di- vides the responsibility for the con- struction work and maintenance of the camps between the State high- way department and the commis- sioners of the counties in which the roads are to be built, with the state suerintendent of prisons in final authority.

The prison de- partment is fully responsible for the care and discipline of the prisoners; whilethe road department is called upon to do the work it is equipped to do, the building of roads. The National Committee on Prison {and Prison Labor has found this lat- ter system essential to the successful development of convict road work. | The prison department is in position to care for the prisoners and to handle such matters as food, cloth- ing, housing, medical attention, the affording of educational facilities, and recreation. The hizhway de- partment cannot be expected to handle these details with the same {knowledge 2§ to what conduces to the welfare of prisoners; yet no pris- on commission can successfully un- dertake the building of roads—the work of the engineering experts.

Dade county recently asked the State Board of Health and the fed- eral government to co-operate with !the county authorities in ridding | that county of the cattle tick, and in ! compliance with this request the State and United States authorities _issued quarantine rezulations pro- hibiting shipment of livestock into or out of that county on and after May 1, except under certificate from the proper authorities certifyig as to their proper dipping in the stan- dard arsenical solution and conse- quent freedom from ticks. The ship- ment Monday from Fort Pierce was the first in the state to comply with these regulations, Dade county being the first and only county in Florida to ask for tick eradication and quar- antine protection. Interstate shipments to states un- der tick quarantine have, however, been frequently made from Florida, but that cited above is the first in- trastate shipment under regulations of the Board of Health. The tick eradication campaign is gradually spreading throughout the United States, and every county in Florida will no doubt sooner or later take up the work. On the low basis | of $3 per head, the value of cattle in Florida would be increased over $3,- 1000,000 by tick eradication. St. Lu- cie county cattle alone, on this basis, would increase in value to amount of $75,000 or $100,000.
