Finland is the only coun- tiy that is paying debts to the United States promptly. That being the ease, it would have been greatly to our material advantage if all our debtor na- tions had been followers of Martin Luther, who, by the way, had the principles of honesty inculcated into him by the Catholic church, for the founder of the Lutheran church had been once, before his defec- tion, a member of the Augustinian order of monks. its war During election time hears constantly pro and con about the “Cuban” vote and its effect. The Citizen I enurciated time and time again, what every intelligent person knows, there is no such thing as a Cuban vote.

Since slot machines have been legal: | iezd, there is nothing which the courts can do toward preventing this form of robbery. The only means of frustration available is public education and persuasion against | this form of gambling. At least until the | law can be repealed, the chucrh, the news- papers, and similar institutions remain the only bulwark against this foreign enemy which threatens every community and every home. As for “Cuba” and “Bolita,” they are not legal, and something could and should be done about them, There is probably no greater offender in the state when it comes to, these lotteries than Sanford. “More lot- | tery tickets are sold in Sanford and Tampa | than in any other Florida city,” we were and they are the only in the state which are not yet enjoying a building boom.” It may not hurt the individual, who can afford it, to play “Cuba,” “bolita,” or slot machines. We do not view it as a sin for a man who has paid his debts and who has provided for his family to risk a nickel in a slot machine in the vain hope of hit- ting the jack pot. But those who do should | remember that they are setting an example which many others, not so fortunately sit- uated, will be sure to follow. Everyone knows that hundreds of poorly paid farm laborers in Sanford are buying “bolita” tickets while their children have less than enough to eat. Everyone knows that there are hundreds of workmen on federal relief projects who are playing “Cuba” and slot machines while they allow their grocery bills to remain unpaid. Everyone knows that the best way to cor- rect this evil is for the best people in town fo frown upon these gambling rackets. two cities People who spend their money vainly secking a pot of gold do not have that money to spend at clothing stores or with hardware merchants, with groce or at furniture stores. People who “invest” their money in lottery tickets, do not have that money to invest in homes, in real estate, in businesses, or in any of the things which will protect them against the adversities of life or the insecurities of old age. Central Florida must not give in su- pinely to the lure of racketeers. Other Ce tral Florida cities must follow the lead of Orlando in stamping out this menace. serious THE BLACK LEGION Recent revelations of the existence of a terrorist organization in Detroit, usually referred to the Black Legion, disclosure to many Americans who have assured themselves that there is no in this country for such an association. | The only thing that we know about } the Detroit secret society is what has been printed in the newspapers of the country, but, as a general rule, the people of the; United States will do well to condemn any! _ secret society which attempts to dabble in polities or to right the wrongs of the coun-! try.

THOMAS President, Clarkson College of Technology No better farming has been done anywhere in the world than was done on the Nile and along the Euphrates centuries before the Christian Era. There is good authority for that statement. The same} hand-technique prevailed in Hamurappi's day that was used on farms during the 18th Century. That farming was done by hand and a great ma- jority of the people worked at it many long hours each day Power steam | did not much change methods of farming. It could not easily be ap- plied to the changing processes on | the farm. The invention of horse- | drawn machines however, about | 1848, began to change farming tech- | nique. The reaper of McCormick and the plow of John Deere made it pos- sible for fewer farmers to feed the country and at the same time do less hard work, The gas engine and elect have put new machine processes into farming. It is now estimated by ricultural economists that less than 35 per cent of the population, if it farms at all well, can easily feed the nation, and that when the machine is further applied to farm work as it will be in the future, 15 per cent of the population can feed and cloth: all. This is a far cry from Rev tionary days when it took four farmers to feed one industrial work- er. and when 99 per cent ef the popu- lation lived on the land and engaged in some form of agriculture. What sort of an industrialist farmer, anyhow? Well. 3 surprised. With the single exception of the railroads, the farm has for a long time been the greatest power plant in the country. The farmer is an industrialist. He has every char- acteristic of a man who makes his way in life by industry.

The chief use of electricity for the immediate future will be in “chores.” {t is uniquely adaptable to suct tasks. Its greatest boon to farm life will not be in the heavier tasks o} sowing and reaping, but in the abo- lition of drudgery in the yard, barn and home. It is destined to release thousands of farm people from mil- lions of man-hours now devoted tc drudgery, and to give them that lei- sure so necessary for cultural hobbies Out of date leadership with noth- ing to offer the farmer but ballyhoc about how he is being victimized by y slickers, “big business,” and the ‘money changers” is destined for the dust bin where it belongs.

While the fireman in industry was stoking the boiler, the American farmer was stok- ing his horses. The peak of animal-powered ag- riculture came just about the be- ginning of the world war. In 1914, the average agricultural worker in the United States tilled 24.4 acres, against 9.5 acres for the English farm hand, 8.3 for the Frenchman, 6.2 for the German. and 4.2 for the Italian. At that time, the average number the United States was 3.05, while it was 88 in Great Britain, 55 in Ger- many, 37 in France, while the Ital- ian farmer got on with less than one fifth of a horse! By 1924 only 61 per cent of the power output on the farm was by ani- mals. The rate of installation of me- chanical power on farms kept pace with the same advance in industry. Our farmers seem to be not only awake, but wide awake. thor, care of this newspaper) WEATHER a | alley, Ha es; while the na, Cuba, 29.84 inch western ure area -has into northern Texas and castward the Lake reg Huron, S.
