The sentiment in this vicinity does
not appear to be very favorable to
John Steen for governor.
Feed for stock is a very scarce ar
ticle in this vicinity, several Of the
farmers having planted their crops
with only straw as feed for their hors-
es.
A.. c. Townley has been denounced
as un-American because he believes
in the program Of the Nonpartisan
League, which is real democracy.
Ninety-five per cent of the farmers
in Scandal township, in which Roth is
located, are members Of the League,
and about four of the other five per
cent are in sympathy with the League
program. These farmers believe in
Townley and the League and conse-
quently are in the same class with
Townley insofar as the Americanism
of the League is concerned. And in
the recent Liberty Loan drive Scan
dia township was allotted $4,000
worth Of bonds. When the drive was
finished this townships total. subscrip-
ton amounted to $1O,35O. Hulger
Nordmark, one Of the strongest sup
porters of the League in this vicinity
subscribed for $500 worth of bonds,
which is, we understand, the largest
single subscription in this vicinity.
MI. John Lennon, one Of the strong
est League supporters in the county,
lead the drive. The patriotic activity
on the part Of the farmers of our
township as displayed in this drive,
gives the lie to the anti league press
that the League is pro-German. The
charge "Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for We pay 1.-THE
Of mint and anise and summin, and
have omitted the weightier matters
Of the law, judgment, mercy and
faith: these ought We to have done,
and not to leave the ither undone."
Eye blind guides, which strain at a
gnat and swallow a camel" can we'll
be applied to the anti-League press.

Your correspondent does not desire
to get into any newspaper argument
but fails to e where you justify the
advocating Of mob violence with any
proof. It is clearly unlawful, un-
American and unjust. It is against
our laws and the principle on which
government is based. To prove it is
unlawful you only have to go to the
Penal Code of any state. To prove
it is. un-American, you can't find a
good American citizen that was glad
he ever took part in a mob. To prove
it is unjust, take the case where
Prayer lost his life recently at the
hands OF, a mob, and afterwards he
was proven to be a loyal citizen of
this country. I might mention several
other cases. Who in the absence of
the law is justified to pass on ones
loyalty? ~ .a

dun enclosing clippings in reference
to the profits of citrus fruit growers
in Polk County. 1t is a pleasure to
hear from you again, and | am glad
to know of the splendid results that
have been obtained by these growers
| hope that they will continue. We
have had no complaints about Florida
appraisements for some time, from
which fact | venture to hope that the
officers Of the Federal Land Bank of

which are satisfactory to all the cit
rus fruit growers, except those en-.

permanent partnership of Providence
and whom it will never be possible
to completely satisfy.

pressed with some of the items rela.

sales in this section that he brought
them to the attention of the Farm

that borrowers under the Farm Loan

consideration than they otherwise
would have done. The correspon-
