The high taxes that will e paid in fellow Americans will come within gunshot of being enough 1 the books for many years, .if ge part of the World ands out” for new loans and gifts American money. The people who talk it the old World using this money ta American-made goods are doing a lot d guessing. Foreign trade is'a wild by our sides a n. There isn’t going to be very much in the next half dozen years. The shell out to foreign tions will not come back. Just why any- dy should expect these war loans to be id ther great American pipe- mone we these pe is a i a dream. A good neighbor knows how to live nd let alone. The best way’to balance the budget s to levy enough taxes to pay all bills in- curred by legislative action; when the taxes get high enough the people will be- come interested in the type of men they elect to represent them. PATTERN OF SLUMPS During December and the greater part of last month, activity in the local realty market slowed up, but is now re- gaining force and promises to be even more decided than it was at any time dur- ing the war. So long as a healthy condition exists | in the realty market, it is beneficial to the | community affected, but, without a single i | exception that we can recall, the larger the number of transactions the greater is the talk about big profits, as a result of which the demand exceeds the available reply, and when that happens there can } be but one outcome: a bull market that eventually ends in collapse. As some residents now active in real estate may recall, there was a great deal of talk during the 1925 boom about “the sky’s the limit”, and we recall several per- sons, when they used that saying, adding emphatically, “But I won’t be caught with the bag when the crash comes.” What was the result? Every one of them carried a sizable bag and some of them a big bag when the slump came. We knew of some who thought they were | millionaires, but lost not only their paper profits but also all of their hard-earned money that they had used as a nucleus to build up the paper profits. Slumps follow booms and booms fol- low slumps in real estate and in every other thing in which money is, involved. Those cycles:come and go just as.surely as the sun rises’ and ‘sets. So here a word to the wise and the not so wise: if the money you are. putting ,intg;.real estate now an investment, aid You can see your way clear to pay the stifis you have obligated yourself to pay, you will not be caught with the “bag”, but if you are speculating, that is, spreading your money around thinly to tie up as many properties as you can, when the demand for real estate falls off, you will try to unload some of your purchases to protect others, and that very procedure accelerates the falling off, and the first thing you know a slump has come and you are holding the “bag’’. That’s the pattern; has always been the pattern, and it will never vary. Those who wish to have their rights must be willing to be right. The ignorance of the younger genera- tion can be explained by hte ignorance of the older generation. Since men make their money at work and squander it at play, we might reform our economy if we could persuade them that business is a game. Price control is a weapon against in- flation but it looks like the people want to play with fire; too many of them do not know what happened in 1920. HUHHH OR EEEEEE [he greatest statesman who lived had no name. His wife (or rather, his woman, for they were not married) probably called him either Huhhh or Eeeee, depending on whether she was a grunter or a squealer. It will never be known how or when he got the Great Idea, the most revolu- tionary political conception @ver,,to enter the mind of a man. Of courseshe couldn’t talk, since he had no words to talk with. If he had been able to express it verbally, it would have gone something like:-this: “Now that my son is big and‘'strong, the time has come for us to fight each other, and for one of us either to’kill the other or drive him out of this cave and keep him out. It has always been that way. But that guy in the cave on the other side of the mountain is bigger and stronger than either of us, and sooner or later he will get the one that stays here. But what if Junior and I don’t fight? What if we both stay here and stick together? Then we're safe, from that guy or any other guy. This is a good idea. I’m going to do my best to explain it to Junior.” That fantastic idea, born in the brain of the greatest statesman that ever lived, known as Huhhh or Eeeee, has gone far in the centuries that have passed. It now dominates, for instance, the political structure under which 140 million Ameri- cans go about the business of living. It seems destined inevitably to continue ‘its progress to the logical conclusion of a world government with world law to pre- serve the peace. For the statesman got the idea not only as a means of protection from the guy on the other side of the mountain, but also as a means of protecting himself from Junior. How about a statue to Huhhh or Eeeee? ever THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | Chapter 23 URK came around the corner of the porch just as Edith on Nancy reached his gateway. He saw her draw rein and sit’ there uncertainly. He began to walk faster, then he called her tame. “Edith!” At the sound Edith turned in her saddle, completely amazed. Here was Burk Angus, coming toward her, calling her “Edith!” | She raiséd her hand in greetin: and at the moment Burk’s small dog, Sandy, came tearing down the path. Excited at having com- pany, Sandy was barking loudly and, reaching Nancy, began t¢ nip at her heels. The startled mare gave a lunge and Edith felt her- self leaving the saddle, and plunging headlong over the low stone wall. Her head crashed against a stone and she cried out ip alarm as waves of blackness | rolled over her, blotting out the world. Burk, his face twisted with ter-" ror, found her lying white and still, just inside his stone wall. His knees were like water as he | knelt to lift her tenderly, to brush back the soft, dark hair from the trickle of blood that Cae from a cut above her tem- ple. “Oh, darling!” he whispered in abject anguish. “My darling! Oh, God, don’t let her die—!” Two of the negro men who had been working in the garden tried to take her from him, but he brushed them off. Mrs. Maxon was waiting on the porch. | “Call’ Dr. Bennett,”’ Burk said tersely, “And you'd better phone Roselands—!” To one of the men he said, “Get*some water, quick, will you?” : Burk carried her into the par- jour and placed her on a low couch by the side window. He “What on earth, Mr. Burk?” knelt beside her and chafed her hands and bathed her face. Mrs. Maxon, coming back from her telephoning, hovered near like an excited mother hen. “Mr, Burk,” she pleaded, “let me there. You’re shaking like a leaf, son. You're white as a sheet—!” “Never mind me!” Burk cried, “Mrs. Maxon, do you think—? Mrs. Maxon smiled suddenly. “Why, look—she’s coming around! She’s opening her eyes, Mr. Burk!” “Thank God!” Edith looked at them a little dazedly, then smiled wanly. “Hi, Burk!” she said, “I took a—a— flying leap—over—” “Don’t talk,” he said_ softly, tenderly. “Just rest—you’l: be all right.” She smiled into his eye-. “Yes —T'll be all right—now!” Dr. Bennett came, closely fol- lowed by Josie and Barbara. After a swift examination the doctor said, “No bones broken— but she’s pretty badly shaken up! Ankle’s swelling, too. Better keep her in bed a day or two— she'll be all right.” “Tl have Whit bring the sta- tion wagon,” Josie began, but Dr. Bennett said, “Not today, Josephine. I’d pre- fer having her Bey here, if it’s convenient. She’s had a pretty nasty ‘shock!” “fll get a bed ready!” Mrs. Maxon said,, hurrying off, de- jighted to have-this little inter- ude in an otherwise unexciting existence. And so it was that Edith found bese lying in ‘the wide, old- ‘fashioned, ;bed in Burk Angus’ guest room, her ankle bandaged tightly and’ her head swathed and aching ‘like mad. She thought ironically, “I took a pretty hard way to make him notice me!” Josie made a_ hurried trip _to Roselands for Edith’s clothes. She came back in a great state of per- turbation. “Whit says Edith is not to stay here. The doctor says she must! What are we to do, Barbara?” Barbara’s hand went to her throat in that characteristic ges- ture of nervousness. “Oh, dear— I hoped he wouldn't be difficult!” Edith thought, “I’m going to stay here just as long. as I cant Tll pretend I'm worse than | really am —!” Aloud she said weakly, “Tell my father I'll have to do what the doctor says. I’m sorry if he doesn’t like it!” Josie twisted her handkerchief excitedly. “I’m sure the doctor knows what is best, Edith. He’s really very fine—” “lm sure Dr, Bennett knows what he’s doing,” she said, “Of course, I hate to be a nuisance to | your brother and Mrs. Maxon, { Barbara—” Mrs. Maxon, hovering near, cried, “But my dear, I’m delight- ed to have you here, and Mr. Burk: is most concerned. I’ve | never seen him so white and shaken. You're positively not to ) worry about inconveniencing j anyone—!” i “Very well, then, I won't!” Edith promised, her heart singing at Mrs. Maxon’s words. Burk had been white and shaken because he feared for her safety! He was not entirely unmoved by her presence, then! As they started out, Edith said, j “Tell Whit if he doesn’t Want to comé to see me here, it’s'all tight. Tell him we got along without seeing each other’ for ‘sixteen yearsiI guess we can manage an- other day:-or two!” 1 @, they, had reached | pe, stairs, she had O‘uneasy slumh: Barbara stayed with her while To be continued ANNOUNCED BY STATION Subject to Change WKWF Where to Listen— 1600 On Your Dial Mutual Broadcasting System (*Designates Network Program) Wednesday, February 6th 6 P.M. to Midnight News 1600 Club Weather Report 1600 Club Fulton Lewis, Jr.* Allen Roth Orchestra Frank Singiser* Inside of Sports* What’s That Song?* Fresh Up Show* Gabriel Heatter* Real Life Stories* Spotlight Band* Radio Auction* Dance Orchestra Jesting With Jesters All the News* Earl Roth Orchestra* Dance Orchestra Dance Orchestra News Dance Orchestra* 6:00 6:15 6:30 6:35 7:00 7:15 7:30 7:45 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:15 9:30 10:09 10:30 10:45 11:00 11:15 11:30 11:45 11:55 12:00 Thursday, February 7th 7 A.
