entirely lovely, according to this par
ticular young man and his peculiar
and discontented ideas.
One of the curious things about the
psychology of the day, is the differ
ence between the viewpoint of this
young man and his kind, and that of
his father and his kind. One does not

pay, while the other was glad to get

LET GEORGE DO IT
Since a late government report de
clares Iron Mountain, not far front
Lake Wales, in this county, the high
est point in the State,.the claim is
disputed by several communities It
is Jikely that there are a number of
places in Florida that have an alti
tude closely approximating 825 feet,
the figure accorded Iron Mountain.
Lakeland's altitude is 227 feet, and
the Club House In the Highlands
about six miles south of this city, is
90 feet higher. The general altitude
of the State is 100 feet.
TWELVE THINGS TO REMEMBER

The virtue of -patience.
The improvement of talent.
The joy of originating.

INVITING TROUBLE
Already we are beginning to note
the perennial bit of advice In the
amwpapari. "Do your Christmas
shopping early." There are indica

country has Christmas shopping been
aa heavy as it may be this year, so
it ma$ be weir to begin it early In
'order to get throagh.

be almost to double the number of
votes cast at an election. Under con

a lengthy and onerous task to canvass
Along the street came a girl in her
teens, carrying a heavy child. It was
jhard work, and she set him down,
i saying, "I can't carry you another
step; you are much too heavy." The
child howled.
In the girl's' . tone there was a lit
tle exasperation and something that
seemed like blame the child was
"too heavy." Then, too, she was di
rectly announcing that she would no
longer do what he had evidently de
manded. Suppose that she had said in a
cheerful tone, "Now the nice big boy
is going to walk a while and give sis
ter a rest!" He might still have
howled ; but she would not have been
inviting him to do so.
You can't make other peopl cheer

own.

j one-tenth of the farmers of the state
would live' on such roads 'and they
would not help one-tenth of the farm-
rs In the marketing of their prod
ucts. j But with the money spent on such
j roads there would be none to be spent
j on other roads and jo this bonding
proposition would result In depriving
agricultural sections of roads that 'f
the bond amendment were rejected
j would be built because of the local
ineed of them. No attention! whatever
jwtll be. paid to local needs. Hie
. whole plan contemplates Joy riding on
a state-wide scale and it does not con
I template anything else.
We have seen statements that the
; roads to be built by the state might
icost forty thousand dollars a mile.
If so the f 30,000,000 that is being J
talked of would build only 750 miles,
or at five millions a year would build
only 125 miles a year. There Is also
talk, of a construction of a nnn mii
to carry out the plans of the advo
cates of bonds. This would mean
bonding the state not for $30,000,000
but for $120,000,000 and this could
be done in a few years by raising the
assessment to Its 4rue value though
whether the state could ever pay It
or not Is another question.
The advocates of bonds do nnt
make their plans clear. They merely
wish the people of Florida to shut
their eyes and trust them. If we know
the people of Florida they will not
do anything of the kind. -Jacksonville
