The following splendid tribute to the work of the newspapers in the Sixth Federal Reserve dis trict was paid by St. Elmo Massengale, to the newspaper men of the district : "Our district is 84 per cent rural. It covers a larger area than any other district in the United States. There are twelve districts. Ours 'is the sixth. We could put three or four others like New York down in ours and lose them. The dis tances are immense The job we have had in the way of publicity and that you men have put over has been, I dare say, bigger than any other dis trict. What have you done? You jumped right in whole-heartedly, one hundred per cent and you sold this war to the people. The newspaper is the greatest educator on earth. It absolutely could not have been put over in the sixth district without your help. We started to keep clippings, one for each loan of just the straight news ar ticles that we had sent out to our 110 dailies and 600 weeklies and agricultural papers and relig ious papers and others.

May 14. Miss Agnes Neva MoKinna, of Pensacola, Is th heroine of the hour at the capital. Even the success of Mrs. O'Brien in getting: the Glades county bill thruofh the house over the protests and fili bustering: of that noted political wire puller, Mr. Perry, of Lee county, is for the time overshadowed by the feat of Miss McKlnna getting both branches of the legislature in the no tion to pass the mothers' pension bilL She was one of the most untiring and persistent workers that has ever struck the capital of Florida, and It Is not an exaggeration to say that the, success of the measure Is due entire ly to her efforts. Of course, the bill was not what she wanted, oui me politicians bullied her so much about the pension bill, she thought it best to take what she had a chance to put over. For the first, time since convening of the present session the house pn Monday sat down- hard on a proposi tion to change its rules regarding the time for meeting. They had been changed so often that it had actually become difficult for any one to keep Up with the meeting time. Now listen for .the expressions of discontent by the women who have thought more of society than of rais ing children. They will, of course, think the passage of a mother's pen sion bill an outrage. Some of them who own property have already been heard from, and to say they are mad, but mildly expresses it. Mr. Wilder has received a majority report of the committee favoring the passage of his road bilL It was only a majority of one though, and those who opposed it in committee have not quit fighting yet. It Is expected to be a right lively scrap when the bill reaches the floor of the house. There is divided opinion here as to what will be the result of the Intro duction of the resolution providing for the removal of the capital from Talla hassee to Ocala. Mr. Phillips still con tends that he believes he will get a favorable report from the committee en constitutional amendments, - while others vitally interested In the matter claim If the matter is ever reported at all it will not be a favorable re port. . Mr. Eugene Hutchinson was at the capital yesterday. Mr. Hutchinson has recently returned from Baltimore, where he went for treatment, and his many friends throughout the state will be ! glad to learn that he considers himself in better health now than ho as been during the past five years. The Senate has receded from its de termination to adjourn on the 15th of this month. It has now decided to adjourn last day of the time allowed by the constitution. , The necessity for reaching such a conclusion la hardly perceptible.

Brewton or the Allentown road to the dividing line between townships two and three. The taxable property, railroad property and real estate is approximately $882,000.00. The amount of the bonds to be issued is $160,000.00, the interest on which at 5 per cent will amount to but $8,000 annually, or an addition of about nine mills on the present assessed valuation of the district. ' In addition to the fact that the valuation of the property in the district as a whole will be greatly increased by the investment of new cap ital and the development of new land3 and in dustries in a community that can be reached by hard roads, and will be accessible from east or west over well constructed bridges, and brick or cement roads thus tending continually to lighten the small increase in taxes required to build this bridge and construct this road, the federal and state government has set aside $200,000 to as sist in this work if we vote the bonds. In other words the federal and state governments which have already appropriated $122,500 for work on the road east of Milton to the Okaloosa line, to assist in the construction of the Blackwater bridge and also to assist in the construction of the approach of the Molino bridge, offers to give $100,000 toward the construction of the bridge across the Escambia river, and another $100,000 to assist in the construction of the hard roads proposed in thi3 new district provided Santa Rosa and Escambia counties provide a iike amount for the construction of the Escambia river bridge-and the proposed special district se cures a Ijke amount to apply on the construction of the proposed roads. Both of these purposes will have been met if the voters in the proposed district votes the $160,000 bonds. Thus it will Is seen that the government is ready to meet us co-operation are pushed out. Selfishness which in youth is due to thoughtlessness, now becomes systematic and chronic. When the sun burns at mid-day it's the plant that has no root which withers away and that's what makes a man's spirit dry up. It's because during his younger days he failed to strike deep down into the roots of life, so that later he might draw strength and nourishment from the things which are eternal and true. "Love never faileth," said the sacred writer. "But whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. "And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." And love here means the desire for others' good so that fundamentally the way to keep young and strong is to work in a whole-souled fashion to enrich others lives.

Communism will continue epidemic in Europe as long as some fiery fool can persuade the peo ple to forget about tomorrow. instead ot using twelve millions of stolen marks to feed the hungry, Bela Kun spent it in a great celebration. That youngster will make a statesman yet. " " . The communist brethren declare that they wil make a success of it yet if they can hire the able men theykicked out to take charge again. BY JOHN C. TRICE. Tallahassee, May 14. The hardest fight made at this session so far by the Monroe county delegation in the house was their effort to pass Mr. Brook's bill providing for the reduc tion of the legal rate of interest in Florida. For some time Mr. Brooks has been trying to get the bill up for a hearing, but something would' always intervene to prevent it. , Finally a few days ago, he got it set as a special order. When it was reached Mr. Brooks spoke at some length in its behalf. He showed that at the present . time 32 states have the legal rate fixed at six per cent, six states at Seven per cent MILTON NEWS.

Mr. Busto also urged the bill at length, from the same standpoint as that taken by Mr. Brooks. Mr. Coats ,of Okeechobee county, In moving to strike out the enacting clause- of the bill, took the opposite view. He contended there never had Beauty More Than Skin Deep. There is an old saying that beauty Is only skin deep. That may be so with those who get their beauty out of box but not the genuine sort. Beauty is really only another word for good health and no woman who Is bilious and constipated can reasonably hona to be beautiful. Chamberlain's Tab lets will correct these disorders, then with proper diet and exercise there is no reason why any youne woman with regular features may not hope to be beautiful.
