Cntn we get 80 rich that our wealth is

paratively poor, OF course, for that is
the way we do IT, AS long as we are a
little poorer than somebody we know, and
as long as there are things that we can
not afford we are poorer because we think
that we are. IL you make 500 a month,
you may have to use a baseburner.
Surely. It Is poor man who can not af-
ford a furnace. IL You make 500 month
you may not be able 70 live In a $50 apart
ment and II Is poor man who has to take
care OF his own furnace. II you make
$500 month you may forget about fur

and OF course. II n a poor man who has
only one car. Beyond that estimate we
should have 70 begin to theorize but you
can probably go a long way beyond that
and still be poor. Being poor IL the
easiest thing we do. We do not need the
high cost OF living to help us. All We
need is TO think about the things we can
not afford instead OF about the things we
can afford.

Sheats is an observant man and he

comes home thinking it high tim,
the people Of Florida should adopt
the same methods. We take the fol-
lowing from the Tallahassee True
Democrat:
"Mr. Sheats was particularly i'm
pressed with the enterprise of the
western people. Practically in des-
cts they grow fine crops, take great
pride in their homes, and each resi-
dence is surrounded by beautiful
lawn, and pretty flower yard, sus-
tanned altogether by irrigation. He
says that every section Of Florida
would be a perfect paradise If the
people would devote one-half as
much attention to identifying their
homes as northwesterners. Another
thing that particularly impressed
him was the fine horses and cattle.
1T Is all q mistake about the north
western climate producing such cat

feed. They are we'll cared for and
Just as fine cattle and stock could
be produced in Florida. know

development will not be realized
