The Money Comes Back

The cycle of money invested in
Liberty Bonds is short and COM
plete. The people lend the money
to the Government, the Govern
ment lends some to our Allies, and
our Government and our Allies
straightway spend the money, or
the greater portion of it, among
the people of the United States.
In some instances the money paid
in by wage earners on one install
ment of Liberty Bonds is paid by
the Government to their employ
ers, and by their employers paid
back to them in the way of wages
before the next Bond instaIIment
is due.

FROM CAMP WHEELER MEN
Send Greetings to Friends and
Praise the Service

Editor Punta Gorda Herald =
The boys from Punta Gorda, sta.
toned here, Camp Wheeler, wish
to send greetings and best wishes
to all our friends.
While it is true we have no or
ganized unit from our beautiful
little city through which we may
preserve and transmit record of
our achievements in the great
world war, yet we feel that what
ever GLORY" we may win in the
line Of duty viii be given proper
recognition in The Herald, if some
kind friend will bring the same to
your attention.
Up to the present time, we have
made no effort to jump into the
lime-light; in fact, our principal
business has been training for the
stellar role we are to play. Now,
that we can step off with the left
foot, handle a rife without doing
any great violence to ourselves or
those near us, prod rather fiercely
a dummy Hun, dig trenches, hike
across country for day or two at
a time, eat three big meals day,
sleep like a clog" ait night, es-
cape the base hospital, and, well,
feel good all the time, our hopes
are high that we will soon be call
cd to go over the sea.
Mr.. Editor, this is the finest life
man ever lived. All that man
has to learn in order to be happy,
healthy and wise, is immediate
and cheerful response to duty.
Yes, we are glad we are allowed
the privilege of serving Uncle Sam
in his mighty work of clearing the
barnacles off Of civilization
But while we are doing this part
of the job, what are the folks at
home doing to make sure our task
will not be wastedg I'VE are go
ing to win, but it will be at terri
BILE sacrifice of life and energy, UNI
less the people back home furnish
us quickly and fully the materials
with which to wage our battles.
We need equipment, guns, ammu-
milton, food and other supplies
without stint, and all these cost
money. Are you ready and will
ing to pay your partY The oppor-
tmity is offered in more ways than
one, but the principal way at pres
ent is through the purchase of Lib
erty Bonds. For every bond you
buy, you multiply our efficiency an
hundred fold. You give us food,
clothing, fighting materials. You

The Folly of Price Cutting

The DeSoto county press asso-
citation has passed a resolution
that hereafter the DeSoto coun-
ty newspapers will not submit bids
for job printing. They will sell it
as a grocer does his sugar-over
the county at the price quoted. "
Newspaper people generally, are
asked to publish boosting articles
for every conceivable purpose,
free of charge, and then when peo-
pie have a little printing, or other
work, they want to "figure the
printer down to the very notch of
existence price" DeSoto news
papers have taken the right stand.

Competition is said to be the life

MAKE FIVE COUNTIES
Excellent Suggestions by Col.
Morgan

Editor Punta Gorda Herald Il
am today giving to each newspa-
per in the county my plan for
county division. By this plan
each community would get what
it would want and they would
vote for the man who would put it
over for them. No other division
plan that | know of would pass
the primary.
But, with this plan, we could
count on Wauchula for about ev-
cry vote it could poll. Then take
our location from Fort Ogden
south: we could count on about
every one and include a majority
of our Fort Ogden vote.
Arcadia people have just butted
over our proposed road sub-dis-
trict proposition with an injunc-
ton, and it leaves their best
friends here against them. with
the division plan, we would have
no delay.
Then take the Istopoga country:
we give them just about what
'Sebring would like to pull over
that way, and they would vote to
a man for that.
Then take the southeastern Sec
ton, and Moore Haven, with it's
push, capital and rich land, would
put that over to a man.
Then, if / were going to handle
the scheme, ! would, upon getting
the division, proceed at once with
special act for the location of
tate canal beginning at the north
asst corner of DeSoto county and
run south to the Caloosahatchee.
This canal to be not less than 20
feet wide and deep enough to pass
the water the entire distance and
limit the price for digging it to 6
cents per cubic yard, and provide
for public boulevard on each side
of the canal the entire distance.
With the changes | mention, we
would SOON see that it would bring
about improved conditions, such
as would become us as an indus
trious, intelligent, law-abiding
people. The entire country will
come to the front (and it's fast on
the way) and put an end to the
outlawry, waste, theft, graft and
murder that constantly crop up in
I'D DeSoto.
Let us effect this division, and
hen let the State Land Office pub
ish its official map of the state
howing this division to tire
tranger at distance, and we will
hear him say that country south |
presents the appearance of being
the best populated; they have
small counties, and must have lots
of people or they could not live. |
As it is now, for one not know
ing to look over the map Of Flori-
da, he would conclude that the
large counties in the south near
but it's all wilderness,
overfowed, marsh, waste land.
See, over on the East Coast, the
people have already observed this
advantage and had the divisions
made, and keep making more.
If some one else can propose a
,lan which would be more sure to
carry, we are willing to withdraw.
Yours truly,
IL - u

Robert Underwood Johnson
Lauds Senator Ne1Dlands
As Leading Friend OF Art

In a tribute to the late Senator
Newlands, Robert Underwood john
son laments his death as great loss
to the cause of national art. In par
ticular, he says, the senator was the
one acknowledged champion OF the
National Art Commission and OF the
McKim- Olmstead- Burnham plan Tor
identifying Washington city. Outside
of the Senate friends of art could al
ways rely on Presidents Roosevelt and
Taft and Secretary Hay, and within 1t
upon Senators Lodge, Wetmore, John
Sharp Williams and others. but MI
johnson says, it was on the knowledge,
the enthusiasm and the quiet persis-
tence of Senator Newlands that they
most relied, and it was to these quail
ties that the Senate SO often deferred
He once made a four-hour speech
against the project to build power
plant on public property in the capt.
tai The senator was Interested In
music and literature as we'll as art ana
it is told that at a time when proVlnc-
, iality and severe Interpretation OF
states rights threatened to defeat the
bill to incorporate the American Acad-
envy of Arts and Letters, Senator New
| lands threw his influence actively in
the House of Representatives for the
measure by letter and by personal In
terview.
Mr.. Johnson makes this comment:
THE present war is apt to add
greatly to the respect Of America for
art. partly by familiarizing our people
with the part it plays in French civil
| cation. With the coming Of peace
| there probably will be reaction
against action, with which We shall
| have been surfeited, and a strong drift
toward the ideal, as reflected In art
and literature. especially poetry. We
| shall then see as never before how
closely these are related to the LIE
most worth while, and how important
| it is to conserve and foster them. Mr.
| Newlands, indeed, was of those who
are reluctant to wait till the dawn OF
peace for such result. Shortly be
| fore his death he said: 1 know OF nc
/ time when the members should be
more carefully panned in order to Keep
! them alive. Indeed, | think that art
has it's place in war, as it has in every
thing else"
1t should not be an unusual thing

ments of public life to be enthusiasts

not only to Washington, but to- the
nation, when plan for beauufying the
capital city was adopted and Mr.. New
lands deserves to be remembered for
his part in it. The danger will be
when such men as he are lacking that
commercial and selfish interests will
overturn the plan and do lasting in
jury to Washington. An intelligent
watch upon the aesthet conditions OF
every community is desirable. In
New York city, for example, there is
almost constant pressure brought
against city uthorities-sometime by
city authorities-to trench upon the
space of Central Park by erecting a
public building there. For years an
editorial writer of the Times Of that
city kept a sleepless eye upon such
movements and engaged in instant op
position to then. He was instrumen
tai in presenting much trespassing on
that none too spacious spot, but unfor
tunately he died recently and it has
not developed that an equally persist
ent friend of the park exists to take
his place.
