WHY BE ROBBED

A prominent financial authority
submits the following, which seems to
US to be sound advice:
Look out for crooks and wild cat
schemes of all character. This bust
ness is getting to be as large in vol
ume as that of the automobile bust
ness which is considered now to alb
sorb more funds than that of any
business in the country.
In Georgia and Florida the sale of
stocks and promotion corporations of
all kinds is in violation of the law
unless authorized by the Comptroller.
1t is your bankers duty to give out
this information and to protect the
customers of the banks against these
schemes. There is hardly week that
passes that we do not hear of sales
men offering such stocks for SALE and
the mails of the entire country are
flooded with offerings of this kind.
Among some of these may be men
toned. oil stocks, life and fire nsur-
ance stocks, automobile promotions
fruit juices, ship building PROPOSE
tons, and great many of other kinds
too numerous to mention.
Now there is no demand for these
organizations. If they were sound
the capital for same could be easily
found in their local home. Whenever
a proposed company offers you stock
for sale you may be sure they cannot
interest their home people who have
money. You may rest assured there
10 something wrong somewhere. As
certain if they have the permit OF
the Comptroller to sell the stock in
your county, if they have not report
same to the proper authority. Con
suit your banker, he has many ways
Of investigating the soundness OF
these various promotions. Do not be
in too big hurry to purchase stock
in anything that is organized out OF
your own county, and know who com.
poses the officers and directors be,
fore you put your good money into
something that you know nothing
about.

FARMERS ARE URGED

SHORTAGE OF LABOR

Jacksonville, June 16.-J. o. Trax-
Ter, state farm help specialist Of
Gainesville, was caller recently at
the office of the State Marketing Blu
reau. He said there was plenty of
labor, but most of it inexperienced in
farm work. While farmers here and
there complain of scarcity they do it
among themselves, and do not make
application to our office, and not be-
ing prophet, or the son of one. we
cannot offer relief from our lists of
men seeking work. There's a good
many idle men, and while many of
them seem anxious to go to work
some want war emergency wages, and
ask many details as to hours of work
and what it expected of them.
Conditions vary on every farm. ex.
cept that in these wet days there is
need of doing many things that can

grow in rain and shine, and there can
be no fast or hard rule about time in
doing the needed work on the farm.

Neighborliness is something more
than mere sentiment. 1t must do
things. Neighborliness is brotherhood
at work. We may get tired of talking
and reading about cooperation, con.
servation, food production and mar
keting, but it cannot be compared
with the real tiredness that comes
from want and hunger. Prices of
foodstuffs are high, and the only rem.
edy is to produce more, and 1t is to
be remembered that the world in
normal times always lives from one
harvest to another, and now with fam.

a week since the Governor declared
that he was too busy with the affairs

politics, and despite the fact that he
expressed the conviction that the peo-

put in the Governors chair, and in
this estimate we were Joined by a

ing to make us change our estimate
OF him. he has shown no ability, no
quality Of craftsmanship; he has been

his enemies, and false to his friends.

The Greatest Union of All.

Has it ever occurred to the radi-
cal agitator, the red, the bolshevik,
soviet or what-not that while he is at
tempting to bring about an overthrow
OF the Government of the nited States
through the ranks of organized labor
that ne is running up against the big
gest union in the world? That Union
was formed in 1889 with a member
ship Of little over 100000 During
the 40 years of it's existence the
members have stood by one another
through wars, panics and disasters of
all kinds. And today that member
ship has grown until it totals more
than 110,000,000. 1t would be we'll
for all those who believe they can OBJ
tain a foothold in this country strong
enough to change the government
and uproot the foundations of rock
upon which it was established, to read
the following words which formed
the platform of the greatest Union the
world has ever seen:
I'VE, the people of the United
States, in order to form more per-
feet Union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the gener-
al welfare, and secure the blessings
Of liberty to ourselves and our pos
terity, do ordain and. establish this
Constitution for the United States of
America"
The doors of this great Union are
open to all those who are willing. not
only to enjoy it's advantages but to
share their part of the burden, and
primarily to those who believe that
the old Constitution instituted by the
fathers and the glorious Stars and
Stripes are institutions to be held
sacred and to be protected if need be
by the sacrifice of life. The only card
OF membership necessary is a card
OF fidelity, an expressed desire to sus-
tain the Constitution against all en-
emies either from within or without
There can be but one big Union in
this country. That is the Union estab-
lished by the Constitution. The soon
er the radical minority of organized
labor discovers this we'll established
fact, the sooner will public sympathy
turn. But no member of the big Union
can sympathize with any member of
a little union, so long as the little
union is sticking pins in the big mem
Ders' sides. These sudden outbursts
on the part of radicals are as pin
prlcks III the side of the Union of the
united States. But they are unpleas-
ant and may lead to more serious
complications. The fight is not won
but the result can go but one way.
Law and order, right and justice will
prevail.-Neenah News.

sided league, however, and I must say
that according to experiences of the

others mean to have it otherwise than
one sided. In other words, whether
