The Citizen hopes 1934 may prove to be the year in which “The Last Round-Up” was heard for the last time. --Experience is the best teacher and she unrelentingly demands recompense. It is often bitter to pay for her services. Someone christened it Palm Beach. Whether because of the fronded palms or the itching ones The Citizen does not know. We must consider this world as the best for we have seen no other, and con- versely the worst because we have seen none worse. Credit pays for no goods; it merely postpones payment—a mortgage of future earning, or unwillingness to part ° with money already earned. Big newspapers suggest this and that with respect to running the city, yet poke fun at the country editor who insists that the mudhole in front of the postoffice needs attention. The Literary Digest says that tourists in Palm Beach paid as high as $50 for a room per day, and in Miami a man paid $25 for a night’s lodging on a cot. | Is it gougirig’ or merely the operation of the law of sup- Pesendidemand? 2 ¥ , ines is the minority point, of view...in politits 8é"inarticulate at the present time?

Qne of them said an independently wealthy man con- nected with the work was drawing down a} salary of $250 a month, and that the work- ers were so thick that one could not put down a shovel without gouging another } man’s foot.—The Pensacola News. In this | connection, The Citizen is pleased to state that not a scintilla of scandal or even sus- | picion has been charged against the local CWA administration. All inspectors sent | into automobile tires, ELECTRICAL PROGRESS Significant evidence of progress is seen in the new ideas and improved equipment ; which have been applied to power stations, whereby the cost of generating electricity by steam plants has been breught below four mills per kilowatt hour in some instances, with even greater econ- omies promised for the near future. This increased efficiency of steam plants will have a most important bearing upon the future value of waterpower pro- jects, because only those power dams which are most advantageously located will be able to produce electricity, at a cost less than that of generation by steam. H A survey by the National Industrial Conference Board shows that the use of | electrical power in manufacturing has trebled during the last ten years and now | totals about 26 million horsepower, or 73 | percent of all the power so used. What the total electrical output will be in’another ten years must be left large- ly to the imagination. Electrification of farms and railroads is in its infancy, but is | going forward rapidly. New electrical | appliances for every conceivable means of | utility, comfort and entertainment are be- | ing developed with amazing rapidity. In fact, we are just beginning to get some Slight idea of what electricity will | mean to civilization of the future. i FARMERS WHO CAN PAY We recently ran across a North Caro- ; lina doctor’s diagnosis of the farmer's financial troubles which is worth while passing along. This was a general prac- | titioner in an average small town who car- ried the accounts of many farm families on his books, usually making collections | yearly when crops were marketed, as is | the custom with many. \ ‘On January 1 he checked up his ieee linquent accounts and found that in near- ly every case those who had failed to pay were one-crop farmers who made no at- tempt to raise a variety of products. Then | he looked over his paid-up list, which dis- closed conditions somewhat like this: One had a flock of pure-bred chick- ens, another a flock of sheep, a third had brood sows, others had dairy cows, or- chards, vegetables, hay and other food and stock feed, or had been able to market poultry and dairy products, had also been able to pay their doctor’s bill. And by the same token had been able to pay other bills, without doubt. Spring will soon be here. The de- cisions the farmer makes regarding what he will raise next season will materially af- fect his condition next fall. Will he profit by the experience of those who have suc- H ceeded through diversification, or will he | stick to the old poverty-breeding one-crop | plan? The doctor and other creditors will be interested in this question. The farmer should take an interest in it himself. RISE OF CARBON BLACK ! Do you know that ten percent of the weight of your automobile tires is compos- ed of carbon black? Such is the case, ac-} cording to a report by the Bureau of Mines, which tells of the remarkable growth of ‘the carbon black industry. ~*““Carbon Black is fluffy, telvety, black pigment made by burning natural gas with insufficient air. Until about 15 years ago | it was used chiefly in the manufacture of | printing ink and the output required was comparatively small. But in 1915 it was discovered that by combining carbon black | with rubber the tensible strength of the | rubber was much increased, adding greatly to its life when used in automobile tires. After this discovery the use of carbon | black increased with amazing rapidity, un- til now there are about 60 plants for its! manufacture in the United States, with a! total production of nearly 200,000,000} pounds a year. While carbon black is used extensively as a pigment in inks and paints, in stove polish, crayons and a variety of other ar- | fully two-thirds of the output goes | | ticles, Thus the development of another | important industry has been brought about | through the marvelous expansion of the | automobile trade. j j Press Association at its After some hand-shaking, Mr. Farley | may yet be prevailed to hear with tolerance by the government have found an efficient ja suggestion that he is the best postmaster organization and were unstiated in their praise of the personnel, weneral since Mr. Brown.—The Washing- | ton Post. ! sel was built in Shanghai, | son and two deck hands. | ter Miss jaged newspaper men. ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ebb cbbelGvcibensiccccccccs shies eee Solution of Yesterday's Puzzle a Across z Honkeyitke animals .
