As with the individual, so it is with states and ations, - People will struggle against adversity, and be drawn closer together by hardships. But yensthe necessity for self-preservation, is re- as aia envy, jealously and agita- a, adic dence: oor country faces We have been unusually prosperous.

But when goes down on his act, he has our tax and we have had the pleasure of seeing his political tricks. Our country is ripe for the “cure-all doctors.” They can show us what is wrong with our present prosperity, and how by adopting their courses of “tqitiient we can put two dollars in our pocket ‘whIE We now have one, and better yet, make “the fellow” pay the bill. * We should be thankful for the prosperity is now ours.

The price, in big black’ figures, is posted con- spicuously at every filling station, and that is the reason we are paying 28c for gas., If it was any ‘other old price, we would pay it just the same. But when we find that gas is selling for 23c all along the west coast of Florida, we ‘must agree with the Palm Beach Post that there must be some- thing. wrong about it. In commenting upon the gasoline situation in the Palm Beaches The Palm Beach Post says edi- torially. ; “Motorists who have just returned from the west coast-report that gasoline in Tampa, Daytona and other cities in that vicinity is selling for 23 cents a gallon. “There is something wrong ‘in the same com- pany can sell the same gasoline for 23 cents on one side of the state and must charge 29 cents for it on the other. Certainly the trouble can not lie in transportation when a company can ‘ship its gas- oline a thousand miles further north and sell it at prices far below what they are ..charging en | Just as long as we dig down into our ‘pockets and pay 29 cents a gallon for gasoline the price «will re- main at 29 cents or possibly go to 30. “Tf there is no other way we can follow the example of a sister state in the north and-create 2 boycott against the price fixer by operating state and municipal filling stations. “If the city of West Palm‘ Beach jean import gasoline for her own use at nine cents a gallon less than she can buy it here she certainly can, increase her order to meet the demands of her citizens and, with the state tax added, save them five cents a gal- lon on their gasoline bills.” Key West people can, ill afford to pay 28¢ for gas if it can be purchased any cheaper, and the proper authorities here should immediately take ‘steps to investigate the situation. as “RID OF AN INCUBUS” ° (Lake Wales Highlander) : The fate of the Tampa Telegraph which quit recently after eight months of operation. during which it lost conservatively $25,000 a month, il- nance for more newspapers than a towh port; even be it so good a town as Tanipa.’ The Telegraph started under.as.h faivorable aus- i ould have been picked. ‘Tt was at the of the greatest advertising season’ the state or, the country has ever known.

Being “too tired” continually is a sign of something wrong. When John R. Gordon, Danville, IL, found him- self “elways tired at night and burdened with backache,” he took Foley Pills, a diuretic stimulant were not in sympathy with the personal reason that brought both the new papers jnto the field | and they knew right well there was no demand, ( save a selfish one, for their existence.
