USE FEW CHECKS IN FRANCE

Bank checks are used to q very
small extent in France. The system
of paying bills by chcch, so well known
in the United States is hardly known

actions there are settled by passing
bank notes from hand to hand.
The Banque de France, writes Unit

present French system are pointed
out-the risks of error in counting.

particularly the surcharging of the

IN the pamphlet is somewhat different
from the American method; In order
TO protect adequately the drawer of a
check that is to be sent through the

subject to special risk of loss, the
drawer can trace across the face of
the check two parallel lines (barres
transversales), by which sign, under
the terms of the new law the check
can be made negotiable only at a
bank, which bank becomes responsible
for any payment to wrongful holder.

UNITED sTATEs-woRLD POWER

Just how much Henry Ford paid out
for his preparation propaganda, is not
known. Full page advertisements in hun
dreds of newspapers must have cost tidy
sum. One printing bill of Ford's amounted
to $63,649, for ten million copies of a
speech delivered in congress, which
through arrangements with congress
man, were distributed under the ranking
privilege at gross cost to the government,
it has been estimated of S516,950
The ten million speeches, the newspaper
advertisements and the moving picture
propaganda must have reached practically
everybody in the United States.

1t was just one of those turning points
in history from which no opposition can
drive the people. Devoting ourselves to
development exclusively, they suddenly
realized how rich they were and how de-
fenseless. The space annihilating engines of
destruction showed that distance was no
protection; that the United States was all
the more vulnerable because of its size. It
was close victory but victory neverthe-
less--a victory tantamount to declaration
OF independence, for in addition to Ford's
misguided though honest propaganda, we
had to fight the. intrigue of European
powers to whose interest it was that the
United States remain power1ess.
The one outstanding fact demonstrated
by the war is that the victory goes to the
heaviest fleet; and with the greatest nav,

The value of this is about 100000
which is the annual tribute we pay the
west; the most CHASTITY form of the mail or
der business in existence.
Had two thousand farmers raised $500 of
feed they could sell over and above what
they needed themselves, during the year
ending last June, they would have laughed
at the storm in July.
But this $4,000 is merely the beginning
of the new industry. Florida is destined
to become corn exporting state, and the
sooner our people find it out the sooner we
will begin to get back the tribute money we
have been paying 10, these many years.

State Press Comment
The Trend of the Times

There is. no staying the hand of
progress. The eyes of the people
everywhere are being opened TO the
benefits to be derived by municipali-
ties by the adoption of the commits
sion-manager form Of city govern
ment. Only few days ago the citi-
zens of Pensacola voted to sustain the
commission form, the vote being two
to one. They had some trouble IN
Pensacola with the straight commits
sion form, because the commissioners
were paid salary, and, therefore,
began to manipulate matters 80 that
they would be continued in office and,
therefore, perpetuate their salaries.
All these troubles have been straight
ened out. Now comes New Smyrna
with a. demand for the consideration
of the commission-manager form SO
that municipal affairs may be prop
erly run in that town. No comment
is necessary on the following from
the New Smyrna News of recent
date:
There never was a better i1lustra-
ton of the need of a con1mission-city
manager form of government than
exists in New Smyrna at the pres
ent time. Our completed waterworks
system is of no use to the citizens
who are paying for it without a bet
ter quality of water than is now
choking its mains. That better quail
ity of water is obtainable and the
only apparent thing that stands in
the way of getting it is the fact that
the council and board of bond trus-
tees can't agree on what kind of pipe
to buy to let the water run through
from the well to the elevated tank.
There are seven members of the city
council and five members of the board
of bond trustees. When the mem
bers of the council say EYES," and the
members of the board of bond trus-
tees say NO." what can the poor
taxpayer do but go on digging up for
expenses? No revenue can be ex-
pected from the waterworks system
until the mains are filled with a quail
ity of water which the people will
| buy. If this city was governed by
three commissioners that would be
little chance of deadlock like the
present one, and If there was city
manager to be instructed to put the
soft water into the city mains tbs
residents of New Smyrna would have
been using the soft city water long
ago-"-St. Augustine Record.
