When a copy of the Gutenberg Bible, the first ‘book ever printed from movable types, was sold in New York city a few days ago for $106,000, it was noted that its pages were as fresh and clean as if they had only recently come from the publisher. And yet it was printed about 40 years before Columbus discovered America. Those were days when people worked for love quite as much as for money. Hastily done or skimp- ed work hurt them like the worst form of disgrace. “The world has advanced wonderfully since those days, but while doing so it has lost much of that pride in f.nc work ' POPULARIZING THE UMBRELLA The Prince of Wales has been seen -earrying an umbrella, responding to a movement in “urope to make that article more fashionable. A good many young men both in America and Europe, have umbrellas of late, aeeming to prefer to get their clothing rained on. recently seemed to dislike to carry The young men of the period claim to be very independent. But if they got the idea that umbrella warrying was unfashionable, they would ruin many «garments and take chances of a fit of sickness rather «than suffer a supposed social discredit. They would vot respond to any counsel on this subject from their elders, but if the prince or someone else to whom Whos lvok up sees fit to protect himself in this way, they would all at once discover that an umbrella is @ highly useful and necessary article. Though fifteen hundred miles apart, the people of Wisconsin and those of Florida are near neighbors and the best of friends. ing together for the mutual interests of both these great states. They have come to the realization, as did the grand old state. of Maine, that it is better for commonwealths to cooperate rather than compete. The Citizen is pleased to reproduce the editorial below, written by Editor C. E. Broughton and pub- lished in his splendid newspaper (the Sheboygan (Wis.) Press, on date of February 23. The admirable spirit of cooperation and friend- They are working and pull- ly relations as indicated by this Wisconsin editor is, above all, the most vitally essential element in the building of cities, states and nations, and to the ex- tent of its presence in the various states will be the future greatness of America: REACHING OVER THE BORDER LINE More than 1,500 miles separate Wisconsin from Florida via the nearest railroad route, but this does not interfere with the plan whereby the one state can serve the other. The other day a car of milk was shipped from Marshfield to Miami, a distance of 1,- 800 miles, and now comes the announcement that 3,- 000 gallons of Wisconsin’s favorite product are to be We have been preaching closer association of states, but one worthy demonstration such as that recorded above is worth more than all the suggestions that might be offered. It demonstrates as a living fact, that states, though widely separated, are and should be depend- ent upon each other. Florida, withi its great development program, its fast overnight growing cities, gives promise of an outlet for the daily products of Wisconsin, unequaled shipped into Miami and vicinity daily. in any other state. There isn’t any reason why the people of Wisconsin should not co-operate with Flor- ida in bringing about a better understanding, and if we do so, the people of that state are not going to overlook Wisconsin. What Florida is to the people of the north as an ideal winter resort holds good with “Wisconsin as a summer resort. Those who toil dur- ing the long winter resort in Florida need recreation in the summer when the mercury hovers ground 100, and Wisconsin invites them here for their recreation. Thousands of Florida residents are com- season pelled to work through the entire winter entertaining visitors from other states. » This is the time of year when they reap their harvest. After their season is closed, during the months of May, June, July and August, they are free to come north and enjoy our summer season. There isn’t any reason in the world why we shouldbe at cross angles with Florida. The loyalty of the Floridians is an admirable From the very first days of the Florida boom, the people of that state, demonstrated their con- fidenee in the commonwealth. No matter where you go, a resident of Florida will sit and converse with you for hours on the beauties, stability and the future of his state. Wisconsin, looming up as‘ unquestionably the great- est summer resort state in the country, profit by Florida’s example. All we need is to dem- onstrate to the world that we are sold on Wisconsin as a state of scenic beauty and one with ideal climate conditions. Thousands and thousands of lakes teem- ing with fish, and great forests abounding in game Then we have diversified farming, the most! substantial farming sections to be found in the, nation. Florida has awakened to the fact that Wisconsin trait. That is an asset that money cannot buy. can well make this a most wonderful commonwealth. milk and cream will be an asset in the hotels and restaurants. The entering wedge has been made for a Florida market. Let us reciprocate and say to the people of Florida, the growers of fruit, “We will buy your commodities.” Surely these two great states have a close relationship. What one offers in the winter the other offers in the summer. Neither con- flicts, and we can build upon the theory that each state possesses a type and class of citizenship un- equaled anywhere else. SMALLER BANKNOTES (Miami Tribune) The government is said to be considering a re- duction of the size of paper money. : Philippine bank- notes are are models. They are only about two- thirds as large as ours, and those who have used them testify to their greater convenience. European paper money too is usually smaller than American. Tourists often remark how much easiert is to handle >roer of that size. The standardized banknote does seem unnecessarily large and awkward. It takes a big pocketbook to hold bills flattened out—which is the way bills ought to be held. It is largely because of their size that banknotes are crumpled into wads about half the material and area of ours. American by so many people, making them still harder to handle and shortening their life. And if we're going to reduce our paper money to more modest dimensions, why not bring checks, They might be making bunches of checks easier too, down to a more convenient size? uniform, too, handle. te “Selary” Roman soldiers. dier on the job and are hardly worth their salt. was formerly “salt money” given to It is still given te some whe sol- eeeeeeeeese ees eeee * IN TEE DAY'S NEWS pes ee sears > Prof. Allyn A.
