A farmer who desires to keep his sons on the farm and does not make j them partners, give them a working j interest in the products of the farm, is headed toward failure. The spirit of ownership or proprietorship develops very young in a boy and it should not be disregarded. \ ? i t Of the 56 signers of the Declara- j tion of Independence, none were pro- ?

Government Sanctioned Subterfuge, t Someone has said thatr"laws are t like cobwebs, which may catch flies, 1 bat let wasps and hornets break through." A striking example of this T failure of law and constituted au- t thority to appreenfl and bring to jus- ] tice violators of the law upon a large < and conspicuous scale is found in the j recent disgraceful Dempsey-Carpen tier prize-fight. By permitting this fight within her ?borders, the State of New Jersey has indelibly scarred her escutcheon, i When certain right-thinking persons made an effort to psevent the holding of this shameful affair, they were told that the law prohibited the hold ing of prize-fights but did not pro hibit boxing matches, and since the prize-fight was held an effort has been made to prosecute its promoters, both attempts to protect and uphold the majesty of the law being thus thwarted. By taking such a position, the government has given its official sanction to a subterfuge, for a way faring man though a fool knows that calling it a boxing-match instead of a prize-fight was merely a subterfuge to evade prosecution. ' Would upwards of 90,000 people attend a mere boxing-match, many of thom paying $50 for the privilege? The whole thing was a subterfuge of the first water, misleading and de ceiving only those who were willing to be deceived. Yes, just a squoted above, the law "catches flies" in the form of small criminals but permits "hornets" in the person of national and interna tional prize fighters to "break through" without harm or hindrance. . * * * Co-Operation Counts. Not until a community learns the value of co-operation will it grow and develop to the fullest extent of its possibilities. One shoulder against the wheel counts for but very little but put ninety-nine other shoulders along side of it, with one strong push all together, and something will happen. A very striking instance or object lesson in community co-operation is found in thc recent action of the cit izens of the town of Williston, as 9hown by the following paragraph taken from the news columns of the Augusta Chronicle: "On July 23 the trustees of the Williston High School asked a few representative citizens to meet with them and discuss the immediate needs of the school. At this meeting it was decided to draw up a note-as the voting of bonds would delay matters too much-and ask the citizens to sign same, so that money could be se cured immediately to erect a new high school building. A committee was appointed to ask other citizens to sign this note, and before night nearly sixty of the leading men of Williston had put their names to a document that means much for the boys and girls of this section. Not a j person approached refused to sign. This is just another instance of the true Williston spirit, or as is general ly said around Williston-this is the Williston way pf doing things." * * * . Moral and Physical Courage Needed. Law enforcement officers generally possess physical courage but are sometimes lacking in moral courage. In other words, they sometimes keep their ears te the ground and enforce a law when it is popular to do so but are blind to violations or fail to en force a law when it is unpopular. For an officer to hold the respect and confidence of the people, whom he can not fool or deceive, he must pos sess moral as well as physical courage and be unswerving in the discharge of duty. The sheriff of Lancaster county was recently put to the test and proved that he possesses moral as well as physical courage. From some time the operatives of the Lancaster cotton mills were on a strike and it appears that some strikers threatened those who desired to work in the mills. On the day that the cotton mills resumed operation, the sheriff, ac companied by a number of deputies, ?vent in person to the mill to preserve >rder, and he was criticised by some persons, very probably the strikers, "or his action. By way of explanation )f this official act, he gave out the 'ollowing statement, which is alto gether reassuring in this day of leeming disregard for law: "On account of many threats to do violence if the mill doors were open id, and to prevent those, from work ng who wished to do so, my depu ies and myself were there to see to hat every man, woman, boy and firl who wished to work might do so vithout any molestation from -any iource. I have no apology to make o anyone and under similar circum tances I would do th? same thing tgain, if I never looked inside of an other office. 'I like to see everybody feeling food, happy and free to do just as h?y please, so long as they please o do right and stay within the >ounds of the law^ 'I went to the mill with the deter nination to see that no one was in imidated and turned back from work >y enticements, persuasions or any )ther procedure. I also went with just is full determination to see that no >ne was made to work who did not ?vant to do so." ) v A failure is never imitated. If Ford parts are worth imitating, is it not worth your while to get the original? YONCE & MOONEY. The Wonderful Formations in I Silver Springs. j The mqst remarkable and interest ing phenomena presented by this spring is truly the extraordinary transparency of the water, in this respect surpassing anything which can be imagined. All of the intrinsic beauties which are invested in it a3 well as the wonderful optical proper ties which popular reports have as cribed to its waters, are directly or indirectly referable to their almost perfect diaphanity. On a clear and dalm day, after the sun has obtained sufficient altitude, the view from the side of the small glass-bottom boat floating on the surface of the water near the center of the head spring, is beautiful beyond description, and well calculated to produce a powerful, impression upon the imagination. Every picture and configuration of the bottom of this gigantic basin is as distinctly visible as if the water was removed and atmosphere substi tuted in its pltce. The shadows of our little boat, of over-hanging heads and hats, of pro jecting crags and logs of the sur rounding forest, and of the vegeta tion at the bottom were distinctly and sharply defined; while the con stant waving of the slender and del icate moss-like algae, by means of the currents created by the boiling up of the water and the swimming of num erous fish above the miniature sub aqeous forest imparted a living real ity to the scene which can never be forgotten. And if we add to this pic ture, already sufficiently striking, those objects beneath the surface of the water, 'when viewed obliquely, i were fringed with the prismatic hues, we shall cease to be surprised at the mysterious phenomena with which vivid imaginations have invited this enchanting spring, as well as the won derful properties of its waters. On a bright day the beholder seems to be looking down from some lofty airy point on a fairy scene in the im mense basin beneath him ; a scene whose beauty and magical effect is vastly enchanted by the chromatic tints with which it is invested. Florida should see that every man, woman and child in the United States is acquainted with this exquisite beauty of the wonderful formations and the beautiful colorings in the .bed of these springs; and the trip down Silver Riv?r is something that no res ident of Florida or tourist who vis its the state should miss. The most wonderful thing abou^ Silver Springs ns the many ro?ms ,oi>j springs ranging from ten to eighte?li feet wide, through the solid rock, arid, each one from thirty-eight to ninety feet deep. They are all named-Ja-! cob's Well, the Ladies' Parlor, the. Shell Room and the Florida Snow-, storm. The Shell Room is about four teen feet across, the volume of wa ter coming up from below is about eight feet wide and the white shells are kept in a whirl all the time. The Ladies' Parlor is about as large as the Shell Room, with all kinds of moss fringes covering the walls. Add ed to this there are all kinds of ferns, flowers and vines looped together as [completely as if done by deft fin gers. The Florida Snow-storm room is almost square, about eighteen feet across and ninety feet deep. In the crevices of the rock at the bottom', something like white chalk is boiling up, and the water comes with such force as to send this white substance all over the room, and up almost to the top. It is as white as the drifting snow, in fact it looks exactly like a snow storm I have seen in the moun tains. In going from one room to an other in this spring the water is not over four feet deep. I am sure the whole formation in this spring is a solid rock. As I have stated before, the spring is as large as a city block. There are nine of these springs, or rooms, which range from thirty to sixty feet apart, and from forty to ninety feet deep. Some of the most wonderful forma tions here that can be seen in no other body, of water. The' Bridal Chamber is the most beautiful, I . think. After going over all these won derful rooms in the solid rock, the man at the wheel will back his glass bottom boat in a little cove where the water is twenty feet deep and call out "Come up little fishes, a man here wants to see you, come right one." And they came by hundreds. He gnve me a loaf of bread and told me to hold it down in the water, I did so and the fish devoured the last crumb from my hand. This is done daily, and of course, he has them trained. In my next letter I will tell of a most pathetic love story, told by "Aunt Silly," about Claire Douglas and Bernice Mayo at Silver Springs. J.
