THE TROUBLE WITH IDAHO.

i Nature was lavish when she MADE
Idaho She gave more literally than
to most other sections of the whole
world. Here there is a delightful eli
mate, marvelously rich soil, vast
wealth of mineral deposits and TIM
Der enough to supply the world for
years. Here are vast ranges for cat
tie and sheep at little cost, water
in abundant supply for the irrigated
lands, and an atmosphere so pure
that the death rate is the lowest OF
any state in the union. Yet with all
these natural advantages Idaho Ian
guishes, even more than other inter-
mountain states. Practically no PEG
pie or capital are coming in from
other states. Why? Certainly not be
cause of a Lack of educational, NOR
al or social advantages. Here are
fine schools, churches and all kinds
of clubs for social and moral uplift.
Why then do we halt? Certainly not
because there are no people seek
ing new homes and capital seeking
profitable investment. Both are in
larger supply in the east than can
profitably be employed there. What
then lis the matter with us? To our
minds the answer is simple. A few
years ago We struck with the idea
that it was our business to regu-
late every corporation and every in
dividual in all of their affairs. The
social and business conditions I'M
der which We had been fairly de-
cent citizens and had prospered were
held to be all wrong 1t was discov-
cred that every business organiza-
ton must be surrounded by a multi |
plicity of hampering laws or it
would deyour the people bodily. 1t
was discovered that the demoraliz-
ing influence of outside capital was
such that something had to be done
to stop its coming into the state. 1t
must be admitted that great in
genuity has been displayed in the
of drastic measures
None but a versatile people could
think of so many ways to set the
state back in its development. We
are all complaining, but the sugges-
ions for betterment cone mostly IN
advocating still further interfer-
ence with business by legal enact
nent. Nobody seems to have thot
VI the simple expedient of restoring
conditions under which we had low
axes, development of our resources
Ind advancing land values. When
We invite men and money to come
lere and make it evident that both
will receive fair treatment we shall

RECEPTION TO VISITORS
Annual Welcome to Winter So
journers-A pleasant Event

The annual reception to visitors
in Punta GOrda was held in hotel
Punta Gorda on Tuesday from
4 100 p. m. to 1000 p. m. under the
auspices of the Women s Civic I'm
provement association.
1t was a pleasant event that af-
forded an opportunity for the
winter sojourners in the city to
meet and mingle with many of the
townspeople. Between the hours
mentioned the hotel presented a
scene of unusual liveliness and the
social features of the occasion
made it especially enjoyable.
The occasion was to have been
further enlivened by the Solana
Military Band, which was on hand
prepared to render music accord
ing to special program, but owing
to a Misunderstanding among mem
bers of the music committee no
lights were provided where the
band was to be located and as a
result it did not furnish any music.
In all other respects, though, ev-
erything went off in fine shape /;
with everybody in a happy mood,
visitors and home folk alike all
having a good time.
The success that was made of the
event is due to the following COM
mittees of the civic association,
who had the cooperation of other
members and also of a committee
from the Board of Trade:
Receiving line for afternoon ::
Mesdames Hancock, harrington,
Porter, 7. S. Griggs, Jordan.
Receiving line for evening: Mrs.
Hancock, Mrs. f, d. Robinson,
Mrs. Waltmire, Mrs. Cooper, Mrs.
Laubach, Mrs. Sistrunk, Mrs.
Stone, Mrs. Porter.
Serving committee for after
noon: Mesdames Waltmire, Nc
Cam, Stone and Sistrunk.
Serving committee for evening":
Mrs. Corbett, Mrs. Gould, Mrs.
Mccain, Mrs. Simmonds, Mrs. X.
B. Harvey.
Committee from Board of
Trade: Messrs. Sistrunk, Car
rier, Cooper, Hancock, Porter, Jor-
dan and +. r. Blount.
Manager Palmer of the hotel
was considerate and generous in
extending courtesies which are
fully appreciated by all who had a
part in the effort to extend a well
come to the strangers who are in
the city.

Politics and Health

1t is vastly more important tC
you, the average taxpayer ano
property owner, who is your tax
assessor, your representative in
the city council or in the state
legislature, or even who is the pc,
liceman on your beat, than who is
president Of the United States.
The larger part of the price you
pay for living is paid out for the
support of local administration.
The general policies of the federal
government in the trait on import
ed goods and other taxes, don t af-
feet your pocketbOok nearly so
heavily as what you pay for street
improvements, the maintenance of
police and fire protection. and for
the protection of your health.
City, county and state taxes are a
heavier burden than any imposed
directly or indirectly by national
government.
Therefore, your choice of offici-
ais to administer home affairs is
one Of your most important duties
as a citizen. And having elected
such officials, it is your duty furth-
er to see that these officials do
what you elect them to do. The
penalty is dropping them from the
list at the next election, for the
man who retires voluntarily from
public office or declines reelection,

the cereal, the demand on Ameri-
can wheat has been so great that
now less than 90,000,000 bushels
Of the surplus remains.
AS a consequence wheat has
reached a higher price than ever
before and is now selling at $1.35
per bushel. That it will mount
up to two per bushel before the
next crop is harvested, is certain.
As it takes from four to five bush
els OF wheat to make one barrel of
flour, it is evident that good -four
will reach the prohibitive price of
$l2 to $l4 per barrel next summer.
Therefore corn meal will be
largely substituted for wheat i'm
bread making, and our
farmers can readily see
the necessity for raising as large
crop of corn as they can manage.
Then in order to econo-
mize on the corn for stock feed.
they should plant what oats,
rice, peas, pinders and sweet pota-
toes they can. Their surplus will
bring good price, for with the
rise in wheat all other provisions
will rise and all kinds of provision
crops will be safe to grow

He Didn't Take the Paper

A farmer in this community
once had a horse he wanted to sell.
1t was a valuable horse and should
have brough a good price. For
months he tried to sell the animal,
but could not find a buyer at his
! figure. He finally sold it for a
bout $500 less than its value,
rather than carry it through the
winter.
Now it happened that just a.
cross the line in another county
there was another farmer who was
looking for just such a horse, but
was unable to find it. Then he in
serted a little ad. in the home pa
per, which brought him a number
of offers, one of which he reluc-
family accepted.
The first farmer did not take
the home paper, and of course did
not see the little ad of the man
who wanted a horse, and who
would have purchased his animal
at a good price.
By not taking the paper he saw
ed the subscription price Of one
dollar, and likewise lost $2400 by
not seeing the other fellows ad.
Such occurrences are happening
every week right here in this COM
munity, in which people actually
lose good money because they do
not take their home paper, and
hence do not know of many of the
opportunities that are placed be-
fore them.
The man who takes the paper
and reads it carefully each week
not only knows what is going on,
but he is in fact money ahead at
the end Of the year by knowing
what, when and where to buy.

Raise Mere Corn

The telegraph has often in the
past advised Bradford county
farmers to raise more corn, now
we again urge them to do so. The
reason for il is the fast decreasing
wheat supply. A few short mon
tbs ago a bumper wheat crop was
announced and it was estimated
that there was a surplus for ex-
port of 350,000,000 bushels. Rus
STA, the greatest wheat producer,
being out of the market on ac-
count of the war, and the warning
nations being heavy consumers of

are among the functions of local
government, both for the protec-
ton of the poorer classes and for
that of the entire community.
Local government has its duty in
this direction in the enactment and
enforcement of proper ordinances
and in the apportionment of pub
lie moneys raised by taxation for
the general welfare.
Most of the communities in
Florida, whether cities or coun-
ties, find it necessary in the man.
agement of public affairs to study
economy. The apportionment OF
public moneys should be made ac-
cording to the relative Importance
of various expenditures to the
general welfare. Nothing is more
important to the individual or to
the community than physical
health. Health is affected by the
conditions of the streets, pave
ments and sidewalks, sewers and
an ample supply of good water, by
the system of removing garbage,
and most intimately by an ener-
getic health department fully e.
quipped to control and relieve Suf-
fering.
More than one-half the children
attending the public schools of
Florida city or rural, are physic-
al deficients (seventy-seven per
cent. was the proportion in Flori-
da's largest city in 1919. One
death in every ten in Florida is of
a child under one year old. Stat
istics show that in the United
States at large, one child OF every
five born never completes its first
year, and one-quarter die before
they are five years old, and of
those who survive a large share is
marked or disfgured for life by
causes that might have been avoid
ed by proper attendance at birth.
Because most Of this large NOR
tality occurs in ignorant, impOrv-
ished families, it is incumbent up
on public health officials to relieve,
to change these conditions. Nearly
or quite one-half the deaths among
the colored race in Florida occur
without medical attendance of any
kind.
To better these conditions re-
quires money, public money. TO |
secure proper and adequate appro-
priations requires intelligent officl-
ais in charge of public health de-
partments. An official may be |
wholly efficient and honorable in
his duties toward the public in
general, but if he fails in his atti-
tude toward the health of his con-
,tituents, he is unworthy of the
rust placed in him and he should
give place to another better G.
luipped in intelligence.
Florida has provided for the
of its State Health Board,
tut there is need for active, effici-
mt city and county boards, and to
establish these and to make them
requires intelligent pub
ic officials and these must be pro-
'ided by the people themselves
