DON'T WORRY
ABOUT TOMORROW

George Wharton James, of Cali
fornia and the universe, declares that
there is passage of ten verses in the
New Testament which every man or
woman who is disposed to worry about
tomorrow ought to read every day
He recommends study of it as a sure
cure for this kind of worry.
The verses referred to by Mr..
James are from the sixth chapter of
Matthew, being the 25th to 34th YER
ses, inclusive. We reproduce them
here from the revised version:
Il say unto you, be not anxious for
your life, what We shall eat, or what We
shall drink; nor yet your body what
We shall put on. Is not the life more
than the food, and the body more
than the raiment? Behold the birds
of the heaven, that they SOW not,
neither do they reap, nor gather into
barns: and your Heaven Father feed
eth them. Are not we of much more
value than they? And which of you
by being anxious can add one cubit
to his stature? And why are We anx-
ious concerning raiment? Consider
the lilies of the field, how they grow
they toll not neither do they spin;
yet | say unto you, that even Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these. But if God doth so
clothe the grass of the field, which to-
day is and tomorrow is cast into the
oven, shall he not much more clothe
you, o We of little faith? Be not
therefore anxious, saying, What shall
we eat? or What shall we drink? or,
Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For
after all these things do the Gentiles
seek, for your Heavenly Father know
eth that We have need of all these
things. But seek we first his kingdom
and his righteousness, and all these
things shall be added unto YOU Be
not therefore anxious for the morrow,
for the morrow will be anxious for
itself. Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof Macon News.

HERR ON THE SCREEN
IN "THE PURPLE LADY
Irene Howley Featured With Star In
New Metro Picture

Ralph Herr, the popular stage star,
will make his debut in the silent
drama here at the Casino today in
"The Purple Lady" a five-part Me-
tro-Rolfe wonderfully. Irene Howley,
the beautiful and vivacious little &C
tress who has been seen in many
elaborate Metro pictures is featured
with Mr.. Herr in this production.
"The Purple Lady" is a picturiza-
tion of the play of the same name
written by Sydney Rosenfeld. 1t was
selected by Metro for Mr.. Herz's de-
but because of the many possibili-
ties it offered for screen production.
Besides the humorous side of THE
Purple Lady" there are many thrills
in this feature, for there is a strong
and absordinb mystery and a love
story told in a new and novel man
ner The scenes are laid in and
around New York, including scores
of interesting lgimpses of Coney Is
land, on shipboard in the harbor, and
the interior CT one of the most fam
GUS restaurants on Broadway. George
Lessey produced 1.-THE purple Lady.
Mr.. Herr, in the part of Silas Gill
worthy, the reformer, which is the
part he portrayed in the original
stage productions, repeats his former
success with many added laughs.
when he succumbs to the advance OF
the dazzling Fiji Melotte, the part
played by Miss Howley, situations
are developed which, for high dra-
matte interest and big laughs, have
rarely been equalled on the screen.

SPECULATION IN LAND

There are a great many young
men who would like to go into farm

Real estate offered low usually has
some defect. Commonly it tasks ac

much hard work and expense to pre-
pare the soil.
"A recent government reports speaks
OF the large amount of potentially
good land lying idle in many states.
1t says that much of it is being held
speculatively for higher values. 1t
is certainly unfortunate that with
food scarce and high, would-be land
owners can not get we'll located farms

The old phrase about being land

suasive agent induces them to buy at

in some distant city or state which the
buyer never visited. He paws taxes
year after year, often other charges.
A decade later he finds that the land
is worth no more than he paid for it.
He is out his expenses and the inter

WHY PRICES ARE INCREASING

Florida, less than most of the other
States is a sufferer from the in
creased prices of almost everything
at the present time-not that prices
are lower here but that Florida has
much to ship into other sections. and
for which high prices are received.
Florida's phosphate, fish, oranges
and grapefruit, sponges and great
vegetable and sea island cotton crops
are sent northward by the train
loads and the producers find wider
margins of profit than are found in
the products of other States So, with
larger returns for labor, they are in
better condition to meet the in
creased expense due to higher prices
for everything.
There are two great reasons for the
high prices now prevailing and likely
to prevail for some time to come.
One is that the supply of most COM
Inodities have diminished, while the
demand has increased; and the other
is that selfish interests, taking ad-
vantage of the needs of the people,
have combined to boost prices even
higher and faster than they would
have risen if left to the working of
supply and demand.
The working of the first cause is
easily shown in the case of wheat.
The whole worlds supply. of wheat
is lessened this year by % per cent.
In meats there has been for years a
steady decline in the ratio of meat
animals to human beings Obviously,
such conditions were Obliged to re.
suit in rising prices. But increased
prices have been part of the history
of every war
Unfortunately, evidence is accumu-
iating that prices have been manipu-
lated by little cliques in every mar
ket and to some extent by leagues
which reach every market. 1t would
be difficult to make newspaper pub
fishers believe that this is not true
when they are paying nearly three
times as much for paper now as they
were paying a year ago. 1t should be
the effort of a. "r"nicipal, State and
national governments to expose such
conspiracies and where possible pun

DECLARES THE COUNTRY
is BEHIND THE NEXT WILL
SON ADMINISTRATION

r. w. McKinnon, of Chicago, one OIL
the most prominent brokers of the
Middle West, is in Jacksonville today
on his way to the West Coast of the
State for the purpose of arranging for
the opening of permanent offices at
ST. Petersburg and Bellaire in con-
nection with the Offices of Clement D.
| Gates G Co., at Jacksonville and
Tampa.
| While here Mr.. Mckinnon, who is a
member of the Chicago firm of Thorn
son & MciKnnon, visited the local Of
fees of Clement D. Gates & Co., and
while there was seen by representa-
tive of The Metropolis.
While a Republican, Mr.. McKinnon
declared that the whole country is sat
listed at the reelection of President
Wilson, and that the President may
have every reason to expect the
hearty cooperation of those who op-
posed his reelection. "The country is
prosperous and everybody is happy"
said Mr.. McKinnon, $50 why shouldn't
the President have the cooperation of
the whole nation" Being closely
identified with the business interests
of the Middle West Mrs. McKinnon is
in position to bespeak the sentiments
of business of that section generally.
1t is his opinion that business is con-
fident that the next four years will be
equally as prosperous for the whole
nation as it has been in the four years
now ending.
Speaking of the discussion of an en-
barge on the expectation of foodstuffs,
Mr.. McKinnon asserted that the prob
abilities are that the matter will be
taken up by the next Congress. He
believed that there is considerable
sentiment against the continued ex-
portation of grains and the coincident
increase in prices, but he feels that by
the time that Congress gets down to
considering the question there will be
bright chances for reductions. He
cited that the winter wheat crop will
be approximately 25,OOO,OOO bushels
above the same crop last year. Mr..
MckinnOn attributes the great in
crease in prices due to the fact that
the British and French governments
are drawing upon America for it's sup
ply because of the failure of the Ar.
gentine crop, principally. They are,
without showing their hand, purchas-
ing every available ounce that is Of
fered. When the new crops come in,
however, it is expected that the stu.
alton will be much improved The
situation can last only during the du.
ration of the war Should the unex-
pected happen and the war come to
close soon, millions upon millions of
bushels of Russian wheat now pre-
vented from securing an outlet would
be freed and the prices will necessar.
lily fall.
Speaking of the eight-hour law for
railroad employees which is now be-
ing contested in courts by certain rail. !
roads, it is Mr.. McKinnon's belief that
he
will leave it to the Interstate Com
merce Commission to adjust matters
50 that the railroads will not be forced
to great losses. He believes the time
is coming when the powers of the In
terstate Commerce Commission will
be enlarged so that it will not only
stipulate the rates which may be
