Discussing the influence of the
press, the Ocala Star points to the
fact that, in every instance in
which it and the Ocala Banner
stood together, their influence
carried the vote of Marion coun-
ty. They carried it for Knott for
governor, against the school-tax
amendment and on other PROPOSE
tions. The Herald believes that
the reason the Star and the Ban
ner have suck a powerful infiu-
ence in Marion county is that
practically all of the people of
that county personally know the
two editors and know that they
are truthful, honest and sincerely
devoted to the welfare of the
people. People will follow the
lead of men whom they know to
be honest, unselfish, patriotic and
sincere.

The Herald begs to gently cor
rect both Congressman Frank
Clark and the Ocala Star in the
spelling of the name of Major
General Charles P. Summerall.
Both of those esteemed authorities
give it as Sumeralls. Charlie
Summerall was teaching school at
Leesburg when he was appointed
to West Point. His parents lived
at Astatu1a on the southern end
of Lake Harris, about thirteen
miles southeast of Leesburg, 1t
may be interesting to know that
this great general, whom Florida
has furnished to the American
army, is a devout Episcopalian.
When teaching at Leesburg, he
was one of the courtliest gentle
men and most superb specimens
of physical manhood we ever Jaw
saw.

A Problem of Exchange

The daily papers now require
that the weeklies pay subscrip-
ton, but the weeklies are tinan-
cially unable to pay subscription
to all the excellent dailies with
which the state is blessed. What
are we to do? The Herald wants
all the state dailies-the daily,
not the weekly editions of them,
but it cannot pay for them.
This paper has all along felt
that it was not giving one-tenth
the value Of an exchange with
such great dailies as the Times
Union, the Tampa Tribune, the
Tampa Times and others, and it
has felt highly complimented and
gratifed at the fact that these pa
pers have been willing to send
six and seven splendid papers pei
week in exchange for one copy
per week of this miserable little
sheet.
OF course, these great dailies
are worth six or eight times as
much as The Herald, on an ex,
change basis, but we are unable
to pay in cash the difference il
value. We refer the problem tC
the splendid weeklies of Lake
Polk and other counties.
Meantime, if the big dailies
drop The Herald from their list
we will have to use the Agricul

The most valuable thing which
God has given to man, is time ;
and yet it is wasted even more
than money. 1t takes time to
make money; you can't do any
thing without using time. Time,
therefore, is the basis of all costs
and expenses.

The Cause and the Remedy

The newspapers Of the country
appear to agree that the chic
cause of the high cost of living il
the high cost of labor. The prodig
ious amount of taxes, war taxes
state and other taxes, which the
people are having to pay, is un
doubtedly another cause, for the
war tax is added to commodities
and the other taxes to rents and
other things.
Congress is partly to blame for
the high cost of labor, for it was
congressional action that almost
doubled the pay of railway en-
ployees and enabled ship-builderS
and contractors for environments
to pay common carpenters three
times as much as they were get
ting before the war. War de-
mands had much to do with the
increase in the prices of every
thing, and now that the war is
over it is only labor and taxes
that are responsible for the high
cost of living.
The people have the remedy in
their own hands. 1t is very sim
pie, if unpleasant. 1t is do your
own work as far as you possibly
can; quit buying things that you
can do without; wear your old
clothes until they drop to pieces ;
drop every pleasure that costs
money-in a word, go back to
the most rigid wartime conserva-
ton, retrenchment and economy,
Yes, go bare-footed.
Why pay $1,000 to $25.00 for a
pair of shoes, when going bare
foot is cheaper, healthier and
more pleasant? 1t may look outre
at first, but when barefoot be-
comes universal as it should do,
the twenty-five dollar shoes will
drop to two-ffty a pair-and the
fifty-dollar suit of clothes will
take similar tumble in price.
Here in Florida, all that man
needs to wear in the summer time
is a straw hat, homespun shirt
and pair of denims trousers. We
want our women to look fine, but
we would love them just as much
if they wore only calico Moth
er Hubbard" and a wreath of
roses. ~ as t"l
This much for dress; and, as
for food, we can grow all that we
need to eat,-corn and garden
sass" bacon, beef, chickens, fruits
ga..5re, potatoes, sugar-and the
waters are full Of fish, free for the
taking, the very finest of food.
Why should F'loridians COM
plain Of the high cost Of living ?
They have the remedy in their
own hands. And the people of
other states, if they will, can eff
fectually reduce living expenses.
