The two organizations in Polk
county which are endeavoring to han
die the labor situation, are trying to
keep things balanced so far as pos.
sible, with respect to the claims, on
the one hand, of the government,
which wants to recruit men for work
elsewhere, and, on the other hand,
with a view to protecting our own es-
sential industries, and insuring that
there is enough labor available to
take care of the pressing local needs
There is no desire, however, to dis,
turb anyone who is making an hon
est livelihood, even If his employment
be considered non essential, unless
the need should be imperative. When
possible, it might be we'll for those
who can do so to get work in essen
tial lines; but if this does not offer
1t is proper to stick to the jobs they
have, until they are called upon for
other service. The situation is left in
the hands of the Community Labor
Board, men of judgment and who are
DESTROYS of doing the best for all con
cerned, They may be depended upon
not to do anything radical or unjust
but they are going to try to see that
in these times there are no drcnes in
the hive.

JOHNS FAD is ECONOMY

John d. Rockefeller will reside
this winter at Ormond Beach, where
he recently purchased home. Thorn
dyke suggests that he will learn
something when he is asked to pay
East Coast prices for gasoline.--Plant
City Courier. Right you are. When
John last season was charged 20
cents the gallon for gasoline, he ut
tered a protest. do you mean tc
say that you are charging me that
price for gasoline?" quieried the oil
magnate. 81 certainly do" replied
the dealer; mot only you but every
enc else. And at that I'm making
comparatively nothing on the sale.
II you can do anything, Mr.. Rookie
Teller to get that figure down to nor
NAL l feel sure the people would ap
preciate 1t. 1t looks to me like a
holdup." That's the way it looks to
me, too" replied the man who
planned the great combination, zane
I'm going to use every effort to have
change. Really, I can't afford to
pay that price for the fluid" And the
next price-list / received of the stuff
it had advanced a cent on a gallon
That shows the pressure that Johns
words had on the management and
the price-fixers. Vas -sum.-Thorn in

ENCOURAGE TROPICAL FEATURE

There has been considerable dis.
cussion at times and great amount
of comment in the state papers In
regard to making Florida as tropical
in appearance as possible An adj
mirer of the Times-Union writes 10
the editor and comments on an ed.
itorial published two weeks ago.
headed Tres on City Streets, and
says it is highly commendable that
some interest is being shown in that
direction. In his letter he says:
what Jacksonville wants is to
make the residential sections look
subtropical All streets in those dis
tricts should be planted with trees,
as they are beneficial as we'll as or
namental. But one word for South
erf cities, especially Jacksonville,
with the flow of tourists coming ev-
! cry season AS the gateway to Flor
ida this suggestion should find favor
with every Floridian, from the gen.
eral public to all office holders. Plant
as many palms as possible, inter-
mingled with magnolia, wild olive,
oaks, ETC., on all streets in the resi-
Dental section. Plant them in the
gardens also. The tourist from the
North expects to find tropical as
pcct in Florida and meets a cold dis
appointment in seeing a lot of bare
maple trees. In inviting the tourist
to come here we should cater to his
expectations in order to win his jad-
miration of our city, which can cas-
lily be made subtropical and beauti-
full.
What this correspondent says is
largely true and it can be applied to
almost any city in Florida as we'll as
Jacksonville. St. Augustine is one of
the best examples of what can be
done with tropical foliage and trees.
1t is in the northern part of the state,
still it has hundreds of palm trees of
the harder varieties and many of the
other beautiful trees and shrubs and
Towering vines that add so much to
the tropical beauty of any place.
Many Of the tourists rave over the
beauties of California but they for
get that California has been under
cultivation much longer than Florida
and has had millions of dollars spent
in making it tropical country.
Florida is much nearer the tropics
and with the same amount of money
spent in identifying and developing
its natural beauties, it can be made
more beautiful than any other sec.
ton in America or for that matter in
the world.
There are big developments going
on all over Florida now and each one
of these should be urged to encour-
age the growth of tropical trees,
shrubs and flowers and in the years
to come there will be other millions
coming annually to enjoy the mild
climate, the good roads, the won.
derful fruits and winter vegetables
and the tropical beauties of Florida

That was a fine spirit evidenced by

who, in handing a contribution for

That is the way all ought to feel, and
the best way to express gratitude.

Say, Woodrow, I'm strongly tempted
To take off my hat to you right now
And the only reason l don't do 1t
Is my constant lack Of the lid.
You're some little writer
When you get the spirit of it
And you sure have the spirit now!
Roscommon once said:
Sound judgment
SIS the art of writing well";
And I'm willing to hand the nosegay
To you for lissome logic
And arguments which will admit
OF no successful contradiction.
Yassum
I'll come clean with you, Woodrow:
There have been times, I'll admit
When I've gumshoed your tracks
And | have became so sorely peeved
At your far-away language
That / actually felt like taking
Some warm Florida sand and
Hot vanilla fudge
And giving you rigid shampoo;
And when you used to wildly shy
Away from ordinary overt acts"
I figured that you wouldn't recognize
Mr. Overt if you met him on the walk
And he ran his wheel over your foot
Pulled off your glasses.
And tweaked your nasal appendage.
l really did feel that way,
Woodrow, cross-my-heart, did!
And there were many others, too,
Who possessed that same feeling.
But now, oh, you Woodrow,
You've rolled up your trouserloons,
frightened your surcingle,
Hoisted your dresscoat sleeves,
And have spat on your hands,
And am betting six to two
That you have actually sworn
One of those old college oaths-
Something about like Darn It."
