Monroe, Banker
And Diplomat
Besides fathering tbe famous doctrine
that bears bis name, President James
Monroe always preached conservation by
banking. His keenness made the Louisiana
purchase possible.
Every Kreat man says that banking is
the bulwark of this country.
Every business man, every man, every
woman, should have a bank account.
Have you one?

With Better sires Florida Livestock
Sure to Improve
Another evidence that Florida
farmers are Improving their live
st:ck is that 52 farmer- and live
stock raisers have joined the "Better
Sires-Retter Stock" crusade. This
means that these men will use only
pure bred animals as sires.
This means a great deal more than
52 pure bred sire.s, for the reason,
that some breeders are using any-;
wUere from one to a dozen pure bred
ires at the present time. As a result,
there is bound to be a very noticeable
improvement in the character of the
stock on Florida farms within the
next few years. Farmers in 21 coun
ties have enrolled in this "crusade".
Alachua county leads with seven;
Marion, six; Pasco, five; Bay, four,
and the other: follow with three,

The Punta Gorda State Bank
Painfully Injured.
H. It. Dreggors is confined to his
home and is suffering with a badly
bruised leg as a result of an accident
that occurred last Friday, and which
might have resulted in a dangerous
Injury if not death. Mr. Dreggors
was standing on the rear end of a
launch that was towing a lighter
across the bay, when the engine
stopped suddenly. The launch stop
ped short when the engine went
"dead" but the momentum of thv?
lighter was but little affected. In
some manner, when the front of the
lighter and the rear of the launch
came together, Mr. Dreggor's leg
was caught and badly crushed, al
though fortunately the bone was net
broken.

The inspired injunction, "Hold
fast to that which Is good," as aptly
fits the management of educational
affairs as It does any condition of
human endeavor. In W. N. Sheats
is found
Years of tested ellicieney.
Scrupulous honesty.
Knowledge of the needs of the
children
lOiiergetic effort to meet those
needs.
Fearlessness in the discharge of
duty.
Mr. Sheats relies for the favorable
consideration of his candidacy upon
the fact that he belreves the people
agree with him that education is the
paramount question of the hour, and
that they will continue an adminis
tration which has so rapidly advanc
ed the vducatlonal standards of the
State. Ppon this achievement he
asks for your vote and active support
at the primary on June 8, lf20.
Mindful of the needs of the chil
dren, grateful to the people of the
State for the confidence they have
shown him in the past as well as the
co-operation they have given him in
his efforis in behalf of better nnd
more universal education, he arks to
be returned to the office sc. he may
direct public school affairs safely
through
troublous times Just
ahead. Willi the record of the past
an open book, he believes ihat no
one will question his interest in child
welfare, his sincerity, or bis ability.
