found any climate that suits me as
found it in Marion county. Florida.
Have noticed articles in the Banne1
/ in regard TO the high cost of living,
and some suggestions given as to
how to overcome this, and many meth,
DDS have been put in practice, but the
result has always been to boost the
prices up instead of reducing them
1t is like the example of the father
when he explained to his sons the
power Of the bundle of sticks very
easy to break one of them but put
them all in one bundle and they were
TOO strong to break So with the high
cost Of living. A little part of tue
United States represents one OF those
sticks, just as two or three states did
trying to bring about prohibition. HIt
when the United States combined iD
the bundle and made prohibition 3
national law, with a severe penalty
towering over the unfortunate one
who dares break the law, we discover
the strength of the bundle of sticks.
Now, the government can make q
Law regulating the high cost Of living
Just as easily as it did the prohibi
ton law, by making it penalty for
any business or enterprise TO charge
d price that will exceed 20 per cent
profit.
Some might say that such a law
would interfere with the constitution
Of our country Never mind ii ii
should IN war time there were some
questions along the line of violations
III the constitution, but circumstances
alter cases, and this is how the Unit
cd states saved its people from being
governed By Germany.
why not come out bodily, and be
no more governed by the profiteer?
Let the newspapers agitate this in
every state in the Union.
Wake the people up to the fact that
they must go after the high cost of.
living just as they did prohibition,
unite in one bundle and restrict prof
its to 20 per cent, and salaries not
more than $4,000 per year.

Don't think that 1 am complaining as

same as I did on the lines without
complaint. 1t may seem strange TO
you but I was more contented on the

sIeNPosTINe THE DESERT.

The United States geological Sur
vey department of the interior, has
surveyed and signposted great area
of the most dangerous desert region
of the United States.
The region surveyed occupies about
$4,000 square miles in southern Cali
fornia and southwestern Arizona. In
California it includes the southern part
of Death Valley and the region be-
tween this valley and the Mexican
border; in Arizona it includes the
region west Of Tucson and Phoenix
and south of Wickenburg and Parker
This region was selected because it is
the driest, hottest, and least explored
part of the desert region, and also be-
cause Of the strategic Importance OF
obtaining information on the water
supplies along the $50 miles of ma

people in the days of 1875, should be
among the first to welcome and pro-

too long separated by ancient strife
and prejudice but now united in a
common cause; and that we do all in

our state regent, Mrs. John Laidlaw
