ACTIVITY AT EASTLAKE

Messrs. Knock & Lee are very busy
at Eastlake and the Lake Weir sec
ton is coming into prominence more
and more with the development the
firm is doing and the interest it is
arousing among northern visitors and
investors.
These gentlemen are busily engag-
ed in shipping fruit from the Snow
grove, where they have, it is estimat-
ed, 1900 boxes. In addition they
have several smaller groves of their
own and will handle the fruit of other
growers. They have first class and
up-to-date packing house of their
own and load the fruit out of it right
into the freight cars. They also have
"a dock on the other side of the pack
ing house, where lighters come with
fruit from other parts of the lake and
unload into the packing house.
By the last of this week Messrs.
Klock and Lee viii have shipped six
carloads of fruit, and they are get

the fruit is not well colored yet, it is

PUT YOUR MONEY IN THE BANK

The man of small means who puts
his few extra dollars in a bank sell
dom realizes that he is helping to
grease the great machinery of civil
ization, but he is, as will be seen by
the following from an exchange:
Who Carries the Load?
James Smith was taken sick and
lost the use of his right arm. He had
wife and four children dependent
upon him, and for year he was out
of work and faced starvation. He
lived in a modest frame cottage and
his rent was sixteen dollars month.
He had no money laid away when he
was taken sick, and only because the
landlord was kindly inclined did he
have roof over his head. Neighbors
and friends helped him, and somehow
he pulled through that dreary year.
The landlord was not a walthy
man; he only looked so. He was
property poor" He owned about
fifty houses, and owing to deprecia-
ton in real estate values and general
business stagnation was unable to
sell his real estate, and lived on his
rents. He was, on larger scale, in
almost as bad a condition as his ten
ant.
For two years he paid no interest
on the mortgage on Smiths house
and the taxes were in arrears for over
three years. A savings bank held the
mortgage, and was as patient with
the landlord as the landlord was with
Smith Therefore, the owner of the
house was not Smiths benefactor,
but the bank. The bank carried the
load which the sickness of Smith
brought to the landlord, and that is
what banks are for.
Likewise in the matter of taxes.
The city paid it's bills from tax mon
ey gathered from property owners
like the landlord. But when Smith
paid no rent and the landlord paid
no taxes, the city had to go to some
bank and borrow until the landlord
paid up. And so another bank came
to the rescue and saved both Smith
and his landlord.
We owe great deal to banks.
They carry many load the public
never sees. They ease the jars of
life. They furnish the steam to keep
the engine running. We could not
get along without them.
Some day you may be out of work
and unable to pay your rent. AS a
home-owner, you may get behind in
your taxes; but remember, somebody,
through the medium of bank, comes
to the rescue and carries your load
when you can't carry it yourself
When in good health, why not appre-
ciate these facts, and when your load
is easy, help carry someone else's
load by banking your money where
it will, in a quiet and unassuming
way, do some good to somebody be-
side yourself.
To be ready to meet your rainy
day, you must spend less than you
earn. The sky may look very blue
and the clouds very far away; but be
assured that it will rain some time,
and if your days are not rainy ones,
someone is out in the storm some
where, and the bank will carry for
you the load that comes to the thrifty
as well as the spendthrifty, for
storms are no respectors of persons.

ways in reach would be the best plan
to secure the country both against
foreign invasion and internal disturb
ances. We think such a system
would make all men more independent
and better able to serve their coun-
try; that it would promote peace,
prevent militarism, and, what many
people think most of, reduce expense

PREPARATION
AND PREPAREDNESS

The Ocala Star remarks that the
Times-Union opposes all military
plans proposed by others and asks
for our views. These have been so
often expressed during the past quar-
ter of a century that we fear our
contemporary would remain in ignor
ance if they are reiterated here, but
we set up instead the opinion of an
expert who has been studying the
systems of Europe in the light of the
present conflict and gives his con-
illusions in the current Century Mag
azine:
Reasonable military preparedness
does not necessarily imply the pos
session of an increased standing
army, but only of an efficient military
system for defense. 1t does not even
entail for America a larger expendi-
ture than is now devoted to the main
tenance of our army. 1t does, how
ever, require that what is spent shall
be efficiently spent; it implies that
our military budget must be laid out
by the nations competent military
experts, and not by party politicians.
The citizens of other great countries
do not permit their politicians to Jug
gle and traffic with the national
safety. Among the nations of the
earth we are almost the only one
which still allows laymen almost en-
tirely to manage the expenditures of
the budget for national defense. In
consequence, our ineffective standing
army now costs US $100,000,000 a
year, but we can put into the field to
protect our land fewer than $4,000
men. The efficient Swiss system of
military preparedness, which is run
by trained military experts, costs
only $8,000,000 year in peace time,
and yet can promptly put into the
field compact army of nearly AGO.
900 trained soldiers. This comparison
shows that it costs the United States
one hundred times more per year for
each man available to repel invasion
than it does Switzerland"
Gardner of Massachusetts, Hobson
of Alabama and others would expand
the rotten system left the country as
a relic of republican corruption-a
system that costs many times a fair
price for the results it gives; how
can any democrat tolerate such a
proposition? So far, President Wilson
and Secretary Daniels have not shown
that they propose to do more than
graft on the old rotten trunk some
thing that will be green for a season
and take the die-back before fruiting.
The world has risen in arms to de-
stroy the German conception of gov
eminent in Europe-shall we bring
the old horror here? Far better that
we pay our debt of gratitude to
France by giving her a billion dollars
to defend herself with a promise to
root out the pestilenece than that we
offer it a refuge here-better that we
join in it's destruction than that we
set up copy which win deserve the
condemnation Of high heaven and the
curse of all good men.-Times- Union
We had judged by an article which
we saw in the Times-Union few
days ago that in its opinion the Swiss
system was Inadequate.
