But we beat him to it years ago. A successful Duval street merchant last week paid his city taxes in full. Need- less to say he is a regular advertiser in The Citizen. Now a historian declares that English colonists taught the Indians to sealp their foes. Anyway, they probably gave them some pointers on how to skin a customer. We are perfectly willing to see all those politicians take a walk who threaten to do so, if only we were assured they would not break into a run—for an office. Four candidates are running for the | office which Zioncheck holds, and un- doubtedly the people of the state of Wash- ington will recall their representative, un- ss they want to be the laughing stock of the United States. Perhaps the next thing we read about this fellow Zioncheck will be that he has] announced for president, or has been com-! initted to an asylum.—Sanford Herald. We | expect both, and the announcement will be followed by the commitment.

The difficulty, | of course, is that it is profitable for some | speculative bondholders and their agents to be unreasonable. If something like the] Wilcox bill cannot be devised to curb their | mischief there is new trouble ahead for} debt-ridden Florida communities.” With | the ban on impairment of contracts by the states, the supreme court left the situation | in mid-air.

GIRL SPENDS $70,000 A YEAR It may be interesting to parents, | struggling to support families on moderate | incomes, to learn that 12-year-old Gloria , Vanderbilt spends about $70,000 a year to. live. This is the little girl whose custody was the subject of a bitter legal battle be- ; tween her mother and her aunt. She has: an estate of early $4,000,000 and, appar- ently, is entitled to spend $70,000 a year if her family can find opportunities to use FREEDOM ABROAD Newspapers the other day recounted ! i j the experience of a Frenchman who was} ; sent to jail for shouting “Heil, Hitler.” Now comes news from Germany that | a family of five persons has been sentenced | to prison for two years because they lis- j tened to a broadcast from Russia. i Freedom abroad seems to consist of ; nothing except the right to support the government, in power.

We are not beginning “a new social order” but we are beginning some slight transitions like those which have taken place in America about every third generation. Steam cre- ated the big machine. The big machine created the factory. Factories gave us large centers in which schools, churches, entertainment, and other resting phases of life flourished on time.

An Alabama negro, re- puted to be 108 years old, perhaps gives as good a reason as any. He explains his; great age as the result of having been | “born so far back.” Sam Smoiinski of Baltimore would make a formidable competition for the title of champion dumbbell. After serving } two years for robbery he went back to the same store to finish the job. Entering the same window, his presence was made known by the same burglar alarm’ which caused his former arrest—and he is back in jail. . O. MeIntyre confides that General } Pershing is the most gentlemanly tobacco chewer. He manipulates a thin slice of natural leaf so deftly that few of his in- timate friends know he is addicted to that | form of using ’the weed. Pathfinder tells this one: The prisoner threw the magazine across his cell in dis- gust and raved: “Nothing in it but con- tinued stories, and Lam to be hung day after tomorrow.” Donald McCormick of Seattle made a collection of five alarm clocks, but doesn't need even one. As he walked down } the street the loud ticking of the time-. pieces caused his search by a detective, | and it v found that he had stolen them. } Now he is in jail, where an attendant will | see that he doesn’t oversleep. | now Passengers on a steamer found from; England to the United States recently’ made up a purse for presentation to a baby born on the vessel, the total amount being; $250.03.

The steam age has given more people more necessi- ties. luxuries, and cultural advan- tages than was ever true anywhere else in the history of the world. Steam was a great centralizing force—it herded people into towns. Now comes a decentralizing force, electricity. Electric power is fas- cinating in its possibilities to the man interested in bettering the life of the farmer. For the first time since that first farmer stood in amazement at the seed bursting into harvest, it has become possible, for small communi- ties to compete with large industrial centers in the production of goods. individual farmers can put their en- terprises on a power basis. They can enjoy conveniences hitherto avail- able only to those living in larger communities. Electric power Is peculiarly adapted to agriculture. By its very divisibility it is able to meet the demands of the small user of power as well as the large. A central station, a progres- sive farmer, a feed cutter, and a hot- ended copper wire have magic po- tentialities! America is rapidly becoming elec- trified. Nobody will say a good word for the utilities but that industry, scarcely more than fifty years old, has connected thousands of cities, towns, and villages with a net-work of | power-bearing transmission _ lines, and is now busily engaged in extend- ing this service to thousands of farms. Introduction of electric power into farm life is bound to have far reach- ing and vital results. Historians will find in this movement one of the great adventures in human progress. Prophets have no honor in their own country. But by a little study we can ascertain what has already been accomplished to improve farming in our country. The facts point forward. There are still many problems, many ficulties ahead. There are some xtreme limitations to the use of mechanical power on the farm. But most of these will eventually be over- come. When they are, it will be the result of the work of forward look- ing men with initiative and courage, nd not by overloaded Commissions and Authorities.
