Governor Gore, of Puerte Rico, wants to colonize Florida with Puerto Ricans, The cooperation of this state toward the establishment of a colony to have them en- gage in sugar production has been sought by the governor, who also owns several newspapers in Florida, but. he has evident- ly not received sufficient encouragement, as it is stated the plan has been abandoned. Lovers of athletic sperts, particularly that of baseball, would like to have a park where various sports could be indulged in. ‘There id no time better than the present to have this dene through the CWA. The Gitizen is confident that if those advocat- ing this matter will get in touch with those in charge of the government works, they will receive an encouraging reply. First move is to secure a site, and the city coun cil will lend an attentive ear to proposi- tions*of-this kind, there is no doubt. Sev- eral letters have been received by The Cit- izen asking its aid in securing the fruition of this public movement. UP TO THE PEOPLE The Eighteenth Amendment is his- mourners have done about all the reminis- cing that the situation permits, says the Bradenton Herald. Now we are facing ahead, and most of us, probably, are wondering just what the wet era is likely to bring us. Like practically all human devices, it ‘will bring us just about what we make it bring: Prohibition, which was to have clear- ed up century-old problems on crime, © SCOOOOOCROOSEOOCOSSSECOEO RET OCe GEMS.

Scandinavian measure of ngth crookedyess, and misery, failed because we bea: +| thought we could take out of it more than Wwe put in. Its failure was tragic and expensive; looking. back at it, we might as well re- solve not to make the same failure with the - post-prohibition regime. ; A lot of factors went into the decision to do away with prohibition. None, how- ever, was quite as important as the na- tion’s desire to get out from under the speakeasy and the beer-runner. But when we dropped them, they did not break into pieces. They still are lying there, waiting to be picked up again. And if ‘we do pick them up again, we shall find that the expected gains of prohibiticn re- peal are illusionary. ; Rs: That is to say that, just as we couldn’t | create perfect temperance by’ passing ‘a law, we likewise shall be unable to‘abolish speakeasy and beer barofi by statute. The job requires widespread +co-op- eration. The man in the street—the or- |: dinary citizen, who likes his drink now and then and is willing to pay for it—must help. If he buys what he buys from legal sources, and from legal sources only, he will be giving the illegal traffic a blow it can’t withstand. That trade, like any other, can’t ex- ist without customers. Its customers now 4-have the chance to get what they want in aleghimanner. If they do so, the speak- easy dies and the beer baron goes. And right there is where the big test of the new regime will come. | Will the | people who protested against prohibition 4 support the new laws .with their pocket- books? Or, to put it more exactly, will they || stop supporting the speakeasy? If they do; the new regime will work. If they don’t, it will fail miserably. SEES ETO FARM INCOME HIGHER Farm crop valiies for the United States totalled $4,076,000,000 in 1933, an inerease of nearly $1,200,000,000 over 1982, according to the Department of Ag- rieulture, whose crop review for the year has just been published. The amount which farmers received from 1933 crops include approximately $880,000,000 paid by the government in contiection with its program for the reduc- tion of cotton, wheat, tobacco and hog pro- duction. This expenditure presented con- siderably more than one-fourth of the total farm income for the year. : Plans for payments to farmers., who "participate in the Agricultural Adjustment Administration’s acreage reduction cam- sign for, 19$4iHave béeli worked ott, dna on regarding the ‘terms under ea! broadly Be of rail way? collog. 36.

THEATRE LIGHTING An exchange reminds us that_ theatre programs of some forty years ago fre- quently carried a note concerning an inven- tion in lighting arrangements, as follows: “The use in theaters of electric light is experimental. Its brilliancy is of incalcul- able advantage if it does not prove too in- tense. It is our duty to give the new light the fairest and fullest trial to reach the highest and best results attainable through experiment.” While this sounds queer td us now, it did require vision and courage on the part of theater owners and others to give the t®en newly discovered light “a fair trial.” Their progressiveness was rewarded, as it deserved to be, and nowhere has the science and art of lighting reached greater -heights of perfection than in the theatre of today.

THAT some cities wait for prosperity, while others go ahead and make it. | Every citizen should get’on the; band wagon and boost ‘for the} home city and its future aa perity. It’s -your: parade or it’s your’ funeral. Get busy and boost hard! —make it a parade! { Work alone will never hurt anybody, but work and worry will break down the best of them. No city should drift along without thought of the future. If it does it is because they have too many selfsatisfied citi- zens who are satisfied with their lot and lack ambition. If these people would stop drift- ing along and take some interest in city affairs. they would become boosters, yet be in no danger of being hurt by worry. If they would dig around a lJit- tle they would soon find out that much good can be done and they would be surprised to see what good has already been accomplish- ed by the live ones, IF A LOT OF GROUCHES NOW LIVING IN SOME CITIES WOULD LOOK AROUND AND GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE HOME CITY, THEY MIGHT LIKE IT AND QUIT KNOCKING ° Today In History eeeseosecese 1752—By the adoption of a new-style calendar, New Year was changed from March 25th to Jan- uary 1st, in England and her colonies, 1868—Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, freeing about 3,- for HEALTH “ 1901—The Commonwealth of Australia. proclaimed and inaugu- rated. 1913—Parcel Post system es- tablished in United States, Children’s Coughs Need Creomulsion Always get the best, fastest and surest treatment for your child's! i cough or colll. ident mothers! more and more are turning to} Creomulsion for any cough or cold! that starts, Creomuision emulsifies creosote with six other important medicinal elements which soothe and heal the| inflamed membranes, It is not a cheap remedy, but contains no narcotics and is certain relief.
