American Enterprise.

Americans went into Mexico for the
same reasons that sent them to Texas,
to illinois, Iowa or California. They
sought to better their condition; to
establish new industries and to make
new homes. Wherever the Ameri-
cans went in Mexico there followed
demand for labor and a rise in
wages, Jack, London gives a good illu-
stration in his account of an inter
view with a Mexican at Tampico.
That particular Mexican declared that
before the Americans came he work
ed for sixty cents a day; Now" he
said, Il get four dollars day. I wear
shoes; have chairs in my house;
own a talking machine. No, I don't
want to fight" There we see the real
result of American enterprise which
has been called .pernicious specuIa-
ton" by, the American socialists.
American enterprise in Mexico has
been but duplication of that same
American enterprise and thrift that
! subdued the Western wilderness and
raised great cities on the Indian hunt
ling grounds; an enterprise of which
every true American is proud, and
which has made the American people
the best fed, the best housed and the
best clothed in the world.

BACK FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

After two months spent in South
America, Hugh Routh, son Of DR..
and Mrs Charles NJ. Routh, returned
Wednesday night, and says that he re-
joices much with the balance of the
family in the fact that he is back in
Arkansas once more. South America
is a fine country, but it is too far
from Harrison. He was connected
with the United Fruit Company, Of
Tela, Spanish Honduras, and due to
war conditions, which will reduce their
business, they were willing to release
him.

OUR PLAIN DUTY.

At last We are facing war, and there
seems no honorable way in which 1t
can be avoided We, therefore must
fight.
But with the conflict reality, 1t
viii be we'll il we as people are dis
posed to profit by the experience OF
the nations across the water.
Il seems like a prosaic matter for
discussion, but really one of the great
est factors that will enter into the
matter is our food supply. We are
already faced with prices as high as
It would seem we can possibly endure;
with a pronounced shortage in many
lines of products; and if large army
and navy is to be recruited from
eur Industrial workers the situation is
likely to become serious
1t is, however, fortunate that the
crisis should come at this season OF
the year, when the people can plan to
meet the situation The farming sea-
son is just opening, and every man,
woman and child in the United States
should be brought to feel that on his
or her shoulders rests very tangible
portion of the responsibility that faces
the nation.
Our people must be fed. In an ordi-
nary year this matter would auto
matically take care Of itself. But not
so in this instance. Aside from the
fact that thousands and thousands
will be drawn from the ranks of the
workers, we will have also to reckon
with the restlessness and excitement
that will inevitably prevail through
cut the country. This is not conduc-
i've to successful work.
What our people must realize is that
no calamity can be allowed to touch
as as a whole. An army may be mobi-
lized, and the navy strengthened, but
affairs will move along in the same
grooves In all lines Of industry. Hence,
with the increased demand for food
supplies that is sure to come, the first
thought Of all the people should be to
see that every available foot Of TIL
liable soil is made to produce a crop.
And this should not only apply to
farmers. Millions of people in the
cities and towns can contribute large
ly to the result. Unused back yards,
vacant lots, fallow fields, even rail
road rights of way can be made to add
their quota. Every dweller in a city
or town who can by any means secure
a plot OF ground should do so and de-
vote a portion of his or her time this
season to producing something to eat.
None should evade this duty for a
duty 1t is.
Let none delude themselves with the
belief that there will be any material
lowering of the prices of foodstuffs
unless there is an increase in pro-
duction. The demand is too great.
There are yawning markets the world
over for every bushel Of wheat, corn,
potatoes, or any other article Of food
that we can produce, and even should
we escape long war, at leas. rs long
as the conflict continues in Europe
that demand will be urgent.
We can, we should, we MUST make
Of ourselves that which we glory IL
proclaiming-a nation OF farmers.

up In other words, don't clean up

remain fresh and attractive the rest
OF your natural life. You can c.ean
up today, and tomorrow tnere will be
something else to pick up. II you

question OF a few weeks when that
neglected appearance Ia in evidence
wherever you look And that is bad
for this town. It is bad for the health

is bad every way you look at it, But
five minutes a day will ch;rge all Of

of neatness and beauty and it will
instill a pride and contentment in
your heart that will make you feel
like another peorson. 'T.r it. You
will feel better and your place will
look even more so.
We note, though, that some people
who get out on the street and below
the loudest for civic improvement are
the ones who could best Put in their
time cleaning up their own back yards.
We do not want to disparage the
preaching of civic improvement-fa
from It, But we do want to advocate

different man sits in his own rubbish
and tells his neighbor what to do,

FEAST OF PASSOVER
BEGINS ON FRIDAY

Local observance of the Feast of
the Passover will take on the usual
solemnity, and the beautiful service,
lasting through a week, is always
looked forward to with considerable
interest.
Announcement. of local services
will be made later in the week.
The Festival of Passover (Hebrew
name Pesach) will be ushered in Fri
day evening, April 9th, and lasts a
week from this time. Only the first
and seventh days, according to the
original Biblical injunction, are full
holidays, the Intervening days being
semi holidays. The more orthodox
Jews, following later rabbinical pre-
scriptions, couple the second day with
the first as full holiday also and
observe likewise an additional eighth
day.
While this Festival, coming as it
does in early spring, has as part of
its significance the celebration of
Natures reawakening, yet its domi-
nant associations are historical rath-
er than agricultural. Passover stands
out in the Jewish religious calendar
as the anniversary of IsraePs re-
den1ption from Egyptian bondage
under the leadership of Moses, the
mighty liberator and lawgiver, who
was Gods instrument for this pur-
pose. The primary message of the
| festival as such, therefore, is LIB
erty"-the inalienable right of men
to be free from every form of servi-
tude and injustice-this applying no
less to the modern Pharoahs than it
did to the Pharoah of old.

dox the second night also) is signal

Hoot Mon! Amateur Golfers
Tournament at .Jae April II II

Jacksonville, April The third
annual contest for the amateur golf
championship of Florida will be held
over the course of the Florida Coun
try Club, near Jacksonville, Wednes-
day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
April II, IL, Is and IA.
This classic is the event of the year
among the devotees of the ancient
and honorable game and it brings to-
gther in hot but friendly rivalry
once each year the best players from
every part of the state. Added and
special interest will center in the
coming tournament in the effort to
wrest the title from the Florida
Country Club, where it has been held
since the organization of the state
association at Tampa, some two years
ago.
The first tournament of the state
association was held at Tampa in
December, 1915, at which A. G. Ul-
mer captured the big cup, with J. D.
Harnett as runner-up, both being
members of the Jacksonville club.
The second contest was over the
course of the Florida Country Club,
in April, 1915, when Harnett won
from E. E. Foster. Jr. runner-up,
over thirty seven holes of exciting
play, and both these players also
were members of the Jacksonville
club.
Within the past twelve months in
terest in the sport throughout the
state has increased by leaps and
bounds; new clubs have been organ
lied in all parts of the state; new
courses have been laid out and old
ones improved with the result that
by the bettering of facilities and
equipment and conveniences for play
ing, active players have rapidly in
creased in numbers and in the quality
of their work. Consequently it is moi
at all likely that the title will come
again to the Jacksonville club, ex-
cepting by the iercest kind of work
over the course.
The program for the 1917 tourna-
ment has been issued and already
is on the bulletin boards of the fifty
clubs in Florida. 1t is the follow.
