Among these "reminiscences

IN ERRaTIC ARROW

The Star has received the first is
sue OF d paper entitled the Arrow,
which is to be shot monthly from
Plant City, if j. Fred de Berry, edi-
tor and owner, can keep on drawing
the bow. C5ome how this reminds US
of drawing the long bow
An effective arrow must have a
head Can't say how effective J.
Fred's arrow will be, but its head
seems to be a sorehead.
It's stock in trade seems to be
mostly attacks on public men who
have either not helped Mr.. de Berry
to an office. or are not supporting
him for one.
With most of the stuff in it, the
Star has nothing to dc, but its long
est article, dealing with the Ocala
postoffice, calls for unfayorable no.
tice by this paper.
The article attacks Congressman
Clark for supporting Mr.. Robert F.
Rogers for postmaster. 1t also
blames Mr.. Sparkman for not sup
porting one of the other candidates,
full candidates in manner that is
excessively unnecessary and weari-
some to at least one of them-Mr.
r. r. Carroll of the Star.
The Star has no authority to speak
for the other candidates, but Mr.
Carroll did not authorize Mr.. de
Berry to speak for him. Mr.. Carroll
was a candidate for the office. He
thought he was entitled to it, and
but for the gerrymander in congress
sional districts he certainly would
have obtained it. He might have OBJ
tanned it anyhow, or at least given
any other candidate a great deal of
trouble, as he had the support of
| both United States senators. But he
| didn't want it badly enough to do
! anything outside the rules of the
game. He didn't blame Mr. Clark
| for supporting Mr.. Rogers, he sim
cerely congratulated Mr.. Rogers on
his success, and he hasn't felt sore
about it single minute. He didn't
expect Mr.. Sparkman's support, and
didn't ask him for information.
Mr.. de Berry's allegation that all
Ocala is angry with Frank Clark
over the appointment exists mostly
in his own mind. Outside of the I'M
successful candidates and some OF
their friends, nobody is worried
about it in the least. The work at
the postoff1ce is going on smoothly
and the public hardly noticed when
one postmaster went out and another
went in. Mr.. Rogers is a good cit
izen and has as many friends as any
man in Oca1a.
Mr.. de Berry had better attend tc
his own business. He will have hi:
hands full trying to make a dent il
Steve Sparkman's ranks, without go
ing outside his own district.

Less than two weeks ago / was in
formed that a certain catalog house
would give 40 pounds of sugar for one
dollar, provided that the customer
bought certain amount of groceries.
l Immediately made an investigation
to learn the why. I found that the
catalog house gets money at from 5
to per cent This enabled them to
buy large quantities when the war
started. Their language is, "We
bought large quantity of sugar be-
fore the advance in prices and as long
as it lasts we shall continue to sell
at these prices. We feel safe in say
ing that our supply will last till the
war closes" Now suppose the cata-
log house and local merchant each
buy 10000 lbs of sugar at 81 per
hundred, the catalog house paying in
terest at 6 per cent and the local mer-
chant paying 10 per cent, both paying
for twelve months time for the use
of the money The catalog house
would save $50 in interest. Blind is
the man who cannot locate the class
which is destroying our local mer-
chants and fostering the catalog
houses.
! If farmers controlled their selling
prices and would charge So per bushel
for wheat they would be acting with
no less greed than the bankers who
are lobbying with the legislature to
maintain the high rates Of interest
| at 10 tn 70 ner cent
Low rates of interest induce people
to invest in all kinds Of undertakings,
THUS improve the land, the cities, and
the progress of the state. High rates
Of interest induces people to hoard
money, become possessed of greed,
then corrupt legislators, manufacture
excuses and preach deception, and
thus is made the story that money is
timid.
Yours for the truth on financial
questions.
