The British chancellor of the ex— chequer says it will take ten billion dollars to pay the war expenses of Great Britain and France this year. That is an unthinkable sum and we doubt if there is that much cash in the world.

As a rule conditions are bet- ter in this regard in southern than in northern cities. Mem- phis, Tennessee, has the largest proportion of her people at work of any southern city, though Atlanta, Georgia, is a close sec- ond. Lowell, Mass., has nearly the same percentage at work as Memphis; while, on the other hand, in Scranton,: Penn., not much over 50 per cent employ- ed. Southern cities,, itis reported, are growing rapidly. Climate industrially. The west.” Jay Gould held the same view. Atlanta, it is said, should have 180,000 population by July first, 1915; Birmingham only a little behind with 170,000; Meémphis, 140,000; Richmond, from which nearly all traces of the civil war have disappeared, 140,000; San Antonio and Dallas, Texas, and gs since the census of 1910, and telling the story of southern growth. ‘New Orleans has 361,000 in- increase not so Panama cities the and Jacksonville with the West India islands and First Standing Will Be Announced *I've been oftered $1,000 a day to|Central and South America, and speak from a platform, but 1 refused. | no state is likely to be more ‘The movies wanted me to do a stunt | fayorably affected than is the and name my own price, but I re-[entire peninsula of Florida.

E. W. Barber, of Jackson, Mich., who has a winter home at Crooked Lake in this county, writeg the best letters that we know of going from Flor. ida to a northern paper. Mr. Bar- ber's letters appear every week or two in the Daily Patriot of his home eity, and they are in high degree educative as to Florida, without exageeration and packed with useful and pertinent information on the subject—the kind that people want to know. From his last letter in the Patriot under date of Feb. 8, we take the following: “The southern summer sun has long been a bugbear in northern minds. Tourists seek Florida in winter to escape two to three of the seven months of furnace heat need- ed to sustain life. At its average for the year round, Florida's climate is so wonderful that sometimes you can hardly believe at the end of the month you have had so many golden days.

Now suppose this county should vote a mil- lion dollars or even a million and a half for good roads, how many of you would pay $10 more tax? Take the valuation of the county and your own val- uation figures and figure it out. It's a plain problem in arithme- tic. You'd get mad if some one told you you had forgotten how to figure.
