DIVINE Discomfort.

Here's fairy tale for grown folks Once upon
time son was born to the king and queen Of =
powerful country. All the good fairies came to
the christening to bestow some quality upon the
little prince.
Finally there came . fairy who wished to en-
dow the future ruler with discomfort" This
made the king very angry and he had. her ban
ished from the palace.
The young prince grew to manhood-a prom
ising ruler. But upon ascension to the throne,
his country began to lag behind. A search for
the reason showed that the cause lay in the alb
solute satisfaction Of the young ruler with pres
ent methods and ways of doing things He never
reached out for improvements because things
suited him rs they were.
The good fairy banished from the palace by
the father took with her the sons greatest asset
discomfort.
Dissatisfaction is the greatest trait one can
possess provided it is directed into constructive
improvements. A man win stay young and ac-
tive just so long as he is never entirely content
With his place in life and strives through honest,
honorable means to better it.

THE woRKINGllAN's FRIEND7

Governor Sidney J. Cats is reputed by the
Jacksonville Metropolis to have made . state
ment concerning labor conditions, which If true,
should insure his defeat for any office to which
he may aspire in the future The workingman,
union and non-union, should see to it that such
man is never again elected to any office with
in the gift of the people of this state.
At the recent meeting Of governors in Wash
ington, Governor Cats is quoted by the Me-
tropolis as saying: when the boys in the
trenches over in France were risking their lives
every minute and freely offering them for their
country for dollar day, some men down in
that section (Florida) were demanding S. day
! to work. The old timers there just took their
squirrel rifles from the pegs on the wall creased
them up and then served notice on the high
priced laborers that there was work to be done
and the best thing they could do was to go to
work And they went to work"
This line Of tank is in line with LOT of similar
bosh which has gone out Of Tallahassee in the
past few months. It seems also to be typical
of some of the actions of Mr.. Cats representa-
tives in this section. Anyone with good sense
knows that labor should not be and cannot be
forced to work at the other fellows price,
throughout the United States There Is some
excuse for the governors making . statement
like this, for It has become = habit with him.
He doesn't worry anyone IN Florida. tssss 80 -os+
However, there is no excuse for any union man
in Florida standing for such rot from the gov.
ernor Of this state. Union men would do well
if they want fair treatment in this state on any
proposition. to investigate these reputed state
ments Of the governor. IF found to be true, union
labor doesn't need any suggestion IS to what to
do. Union labor has come up against such fell
loWD before. Thank God, union labor has been
able to handle them, too.

A WORLD MENACE.


New York announces with pride that it's popu-
lation now is 100000 or approximately 6 per
cent Of the total population of the United States
Every year New York adds 100000 to it's total.
Nearly 65 per cent of the people of America
live in cities or in towns of considerable size.
About 35 per cent live in small towns, villages
or on farms.
A few generations back the cities and towns
made up S5 per cent of the population and the
farms, small towns and villages 65
The drift to the cities increases year by year.
Where will it end?
London is about to absorb large part of the
district about it's present limits. When it does
so its population viii be nearly 100000 or 20
per cent of that of the British Isles.
In New York one office building that covers
little more. than an acre of ground space but
towers high has a work day population Of $4,000
and daily trafic-that is an incoming and
outgoing flow-of 25O,00O persons.
To transport the food and fuel required each
day by city like New York requires hundreds of
trains and thousands of cas- Much Of the food
comes from points q thousand or more miles
away. Much Of the fuel. too, comes from sec
tions hundreds of miles distant.
A French scientist made possible such cities
as London and New York when he invented the
storage New York could be cut off from COM
munication with the rest Of the world for few
weeks and live. So could London. Before cold
storage was known such populations as these
cities have today would perish if their lines Of
supplies were cut for week.
BY wierd trick Of fate the man who invented
cold storage, and made possible as did no other
man who ever lived the feeding Of grouped mill
lions Of men, died Of starvation.
The abnormal growth of cities is becoming
world menace. Nowhere is this menace assum-
ing such proportions as in England and America.
How is it to be checked or abated?
Possibly by economic law. Sooner or later the
waste that attends the transportation Of hum
dreds of millions of tons of fuel, raw material,
food, etc, from far distant points to cities like
New York and London and the Transportation

won their engagements. like Peter
Volo. without being forced repeated

The summaries, however, show what
Chestnut Peter, David Guy and Holly

were in condition to race.
OF all the two-year-olds that were
raced in 1918, Brusilor and Princess

was continued until tho pair arrived
