The high cost of running does not seem to deter the candidate from get ting about as nimbly as usual. o Bolshevism and radicalism seem to be On the decline. The sane senti ment of Americanism declines to har bor them. o Putting wire-tappers under a bond of $75,000 ia very effective way of having these gentry linger with us .until trial day. o The chief reason why the flu has given us so little trouble as compare.1 with Its ravages in other places ti because we have refused to get fright ened about the flu. o From the chorus of "no paper" emanating from printing offices all through this section, it looks like the people will enjoy (?) a few paperless days before long. o ;If we all buy the '"cheaper cuts" of meat, as a kindly and paternal gov ernment advises us. what is to be come of the higher-priced cuts?

The cost of supporting a flivver is getting to be tremendous, yet the income tax makes no exemption: because of it What's a poor man going to do with necessities mounting in this manner? o . The popular Idea of "poetry" la eny kind of stuff wherein two line) have 8 slight similarity of vowel Bound at the ends. One line may be an inch in length, and the other may have to be measured with a tape-line; but if one line ends, say with "blue' aud the next with "Mc- Adoo,' a literary triumph supremo hag been achieved. Many years ago when we wrota poetry, we had a ma chine that chopped off the lines so that they were uniform in length: but "worse libre" and other modern atrocities have abolished even such concessions to symmetry. ' ' o . i We note where a Oroveland man ' writes the Tribune asking it to aid him in finding a contractor to build a small uncompleted portion of "the Auburndale road In Polk county." The Auburndale road in Polk county is complete It Is built right up to the Lake county line, and the "only one mile and a quarter of poor road between Groveland and Tampa" lies wholly in Lake county . If the Lake county authorities had been alert they would have had the contractor who built the Auburndal line in Polk county finish up this small stretch of bad road while he had his equipment on the ground. As It is, we hope Lake county will do her share to open up this through highway. Polk count v has already done her part. ''Some day Lake Parker will be connected with Lake Mirror and Lake Morton and there will be one or more paviiions or landing places, whera one can board a power boat and be taken for a cruise or a fishing trip in tho waters of the big lake," remarks the Lakeland Telegram. "Lake Park er, some seven miles long and two to , three miles wide, is one of our most Taluable and most neglected assets." The Telegram is anxious to have more of Florida's many, amusement, fea tures developed. This Is an outdoor state and the people coming in and those who have lived here all their lives, appreciate and enjoy the many things that can be done in le wtr diversion at s.rall exrnse. or Idfc's - lakes jr? umerous- and water et-orts are an.-n? the mo: favored, yet there are a great many fine bod lea of water that are practically over looked by people who perhaps travel much further and fare worse.

When you have on a straw hat, the first of the season andhave been wearing a soft hat for several months, don't you feel foolish when you clutch the top of the straw as you frantically endeavor to tip the hat to some woman friend who is passing?

The boy owns no hat and has not worn one for as much as a few hours in his life. Sun dry hats that were purchased for him have all been lost and the child per sistently refused to wear a hat no matter what was the weather so the Rambler decided it was a waste of money to buy any more hats and just lets the youngster go his way without a hat. Maybe that is the reason why his hair is so heavy on his head and grows so rapidly, He certainly has a shock of hair and requires frequent trips to the barbershop. There is something in this, perhaps. You nev er see a man who is baldheaded going about without a hat and you see heavy hair on the man who persistent ly goes without his hat. The bald headed man cannot do without his hat unless he stays In the shade all the time. The Rambler had a friend who had no hair on the top of his head. One day 'that man went to sleep in the yard, in the shade. The sun moved and presently the man was asleep In the sun and his scalp was so badly burned that he suffered agonies for several days. Rambler in St. Petersbudg Independent. THE FLU OVfcR AT GAINESVILLE (Gainesville Sun.)
