A bargain should include quality at re- duced prices; inferior goods are never cheap. Partisanship leads politicians and newspaper editors into many absurd con- clusions, Did you ever stop to think how many ‘eneestors you must have had since the days of Columbus? When people act in a hurry they have a good opportunity to learn something about the cost of haste. One of the easiest things in the world to do is stand on the side lines and tell the reat of the people what to do. Nature is grand that is why a man will worry himself sick trying to persuade a dame to let him support Fer for life. The value of advertising depends upon the people who read the advertisements; they can’t read them if they don’t see them. It is simply impossible to keep up with | or decipher the initials of the multifarious government agencies, The fatest creation is OF P, and so are many of the others, — One way of saving gasoline is to run your ear at a low rate of speed. A light car that could go 200 miles on 10 gallons of gasoline, at 20 miles an hour, would run out | of ful 35 miles from its destination if op- | erated at 45 miles per hour. | There must be pleasure in saving | money, otherwise people would not do} without the things and pleasures they could afford to buy. It is either that or the money } is saved for security in old age; only a few dre misers, loving money for its own sake. Though 80 per cent of the American | people are against intervening in the Eu- | ropean war further than material aid, isolationists are the target for much abuse and of these Colonel Lindbergh is the cen- | tripetal force, This foolish feeling is ex-_ pressed in divers ways, for instance in Tar- ; pon Springs, the sponge diving boat “Col-j onel Lindbergh”, plying the Gulf waters | since 1928, has been re-named the “Greece” by its owners, What a different world this would be last war Captain Wiedemann, | ant, had not rescued one | of his men from the debris of a crumbling © building!

Must the whole- | -go on just to satisfy | power? | | against the government and FOR ONCE, NO “SLEICHT OF HAND” Skeptical Monroe citizens who wait to See a promised benefit from the state or federal governments before they grow en- thusiastic about it, must be a little surprised by the business-like manner in which the proposed recreation building at Jackson Squaréhas been carried yp to this point. JaasAdmitting that the foundation still has net-heen-laid, preliminary negotiations for { the projet have rolled along at a far becter ‘ {han many of the other projects for which the city and county have worked. The question of how much would be spent on the project is an example. After it had been assumed that $35,000 was the | definitely accepted figure, Lieut. Edward ! - Kersting of the army arrived in Key West Wednesday with the announcement that | | the amount had been changed to $22,000. The lieutenant, who had to catch a 5 o’clock bus after arriving here at 12:30, | spent a couple of hours in conference with commandants of the armed services, made | a quick inspection, called his superiors by | long distance telephone, announced the figure had been boosted to the required ; amount—and still caught the bus. While plans are being hurried to com- accept bids at his office Monday ‘morning, and apparently that‘is that, Other federal’and state officials, who, | after all, are office seekers, would de well to take at least one leaf from the lieu- tenant’s and his superiors’ book. And that leaf, as far as we are concerned, would be the page where it is suggested that the tax- | payer deserves a definite answer. Whether the reply is yes or no, the average person is far happier about getting an honest answer than he is if he is held up in the air for months at a time without ever knowing definitely what is going on. Monroe county’s woes with the highway are the finest example we have ever seen of the “keep ‘em guess- ing” school of thought, but we can’t say | that practice has led to any particular fond- ness here for the men who have carried it on. If the boys don’t intend to build the highway it would be a relief to hear them say so, UNDERSTANDING THE SOVIET It might be easier for Americans to un- derstand the attitude of the Soviet govern- ment toward religion if they remember that “in the days of the Czar the orthodox chureh was widely regarded as the vepres- sive agent of the Imperial famiiy.” To a large degree, the clergy were re- garded as the spiritual agents of the State under the Czar. Consequently, the church shared the opprobium that was directed against the ezaristic government. Naturally, when the revolution oc- | directed its agents | which, in the popular mind, including the | orthodox church, eurred, popular feeling was | It appears that some of the diffienities | in which religion, especially organized reli- gion, finds itself in, Ryssia today is due to the fact that organized religion in Russia, under the Czar, was the reeipient.of govern- mental bounty and the elose ally of the ex- | isting regime. It is inevitable, when a church organ- ization becomes a part of a political regime, that the fall of the political regime will create difficulties for the church organiza- tion. . BEAVERBROOK Ss STATEMENT . The people of the United States may | be interested in hearing that Lord Beaver- | brook, chairman of the British delegation | to the Moscow Conference, told the Rus- sians very frankly, “We owe a great debt to our American friends.) Our present ad- vantageous position on the battlefield is due.in large measure to them.” -The significance of this remark is that \ ft.was made in Moscow and not in New York ‘or Washington.: - The British .repre- sentative was not seeking to curry favor with American listeners. He was reporting a fact to the Russian officials. SOMETHING NEW!

This contest will be run in ‘connection with the company’s fall advertising campaign which contemplates the use of greater newspaper space than has been ‘used in any similar period to date. Every red blooded American is being asked by his country to do ‘his bit—to buy Defense Savings {Stamps and Bends to help pay for the weapons that will insure our free American way of liv- ing. Millions of patriotic Ameri- cans throughout our great coun- jtry are rallying behind their government in this important movement.

For jexample, Claus Danielson, mana- ger of the Seybold Baking Com- pany, believes there are many | ways on which his route men can cut gasoline consumption in accordance with the request of the Federal Oil Administrator. Mr. Danielson believes gasoline consumption can be cut by his men without impairing their sell- ing ability or service to their customers and he proposes to re- ward every man who cooperates with the government in cutting down gasoline consumption as follows: For every -dollar’s worth of gasoline a route salesmen con- serves while operating his route ; during the ten weeks contest, he’ will receive a Defense Savings Stamp for his album.
