FLORIDAB SUMNER CLIMATE

Manufacturers Record, Baltimore, Md
The Florida Grower of Tampa rep
rosenting the agricultural interests OF
that State, has taken an unfair ad-
vantage of people who are not so for
tunate as to be able to live in Flor
ida. In a special midsummer edi-
ion the Grower has presented a
picture of Florida which makes the
mouth water and makes every reader
long for the opportunity of spending
the summer in a region so full OF
summer attractions, of fishing and
boating, as we'll as summer work in
its citrus fruit groves and in its gen.
cral agriculture.
People who spend the summer in
Florida insist with a unanimity
which we have never seen equalled
anywhere else on any subject, thai
the summer climate of Florida is one
of the chief charms of the State, en-.
tirely contrary to the idea of a very
large proportion of the people of the
North and West who imagine that a:
soon as one passes the Mason arc
Dixon Line he enters into land o
burning heat.
That Florida's winter climate Il
the charm of hundreds of thousand
of winter visitors all admit, but tn
majority of winter visitors know bu
little of the summer attractions O
the State. The Florida Grower il
its midsummer issue undertakes t
tell of some Of these.

GOVERNMENT BY THREATS

1t should be remembered that the
strike now in progress is Of employees
of the United States government, and
not Of the railroads of the country.
Since the beginning of the war, or
very soon thereafter, the railroads
have been under the control of the
United States government, as a war
measure.
Operators of the roads are, there
fore, servants Of the general govern.
ment and not of private employers.
The war has not ended officially, and
the roads are still subject to the au.
thorities, as during active war opera
lions.
The tie-up, then, is an act against
the government, against the general
public, and not against private cor.
porations.
| II, during war time, any consider
able number Of men, or any number,
for that matter, refused to perform
the duty imposed upon them by the
government, a duty which came with.
in the law, they would be, and they
were, severely dealt with.
Why does this almost universal tie.
ling up of the railroads, a proceeding
that will cripple the government in
its movement Of troops, will bring
hunger and perhaps starvation to
thousands of people, will upset bust
ness and block the wheel of progress
why does this differ, under the cir
cumstances, from an act of mutiny OF
rebellion during actual war.

THE WORLDS
CALL FOR WORKERS

"And in every work that he began
he did it with all his heart
and prospered.' End Chronicles
Chap. 81, Verse Fl.
For nearly five years the woria
was busy destroying the accumula-
lions of centuries, and during that
time it had to leave undone the Things
which ordinarily would have been
done. Now every man on earth must
in one way or another bear some OF
the burden of Germany's war upon
civilization and hasten to do the
things which need to be done.
For five years dwellings were left
unbuilt and existing ones implanted
and umepaired; food was consumed
and destroyed more rapidly than it
was produced as 40,00O,000 to 10000
600 men battled for existence or pre-
pared for the great struggle; railroad
building ceased, highway construction
stopped, streets were unrepaired, no.
tells were not constructed to meet the
worlds increasing travel. The result
is there is now an enormous vacuum
of empty store shelves, of unbuilt
dwellings and hotels and railroads
and of food supply inadequate to
; feed up world of hungry people.
There is only one way to overcome
the situation. All the combined pow
or of all the governments OF earth
cannot change the inescapable, unai-
terable facts. But men, individually
and collectively, can meet the mighty
problems we face by work, hard driv.
ing work; by work of brain and
J Drawn and machine power.
Production and more production tt
the limit of mans ability will insur,
world prosperity.
Under-production will mean worlt
poverty and suffering.
The responsibility of the soldier OF
the battlefield to do his utmost wa
not greater than is the responsibility
of every worker now to bring fort
the greatest results, whether on tn
farm, in the mine, in the factory
in the bank, in the pulpit, in tn
teachers room. or at the editoria
desk.
Every ounce Of increased output b
work helps to create wealth and Wi
help the world to carry and eventual
ly pay its Indebtedness. 1t will hel
to feed and clothe the world and wi
lessen the cry Of hunger which ha
fed the fires Of Bolshevism in Euror
The soil, the mine, the factory, tn
brain, are but plants for the produt
ton of things which will add to tr
worlds wealth and help to fill up til
worlds vacuums.
The work must be done by eve,

work.

LET'S GO FORWARD

We are beginning TO believe that,
like everything else, newspaper pub
licity may be overdone. Here's this
strike thing that got the press so
wrought up few days 60 that there
was hardly type big enough to set the
headlines wanted by some papers.
And here's the country going on,
slowed down little, of course, but
still making progress forward
The whole country is so full Of
prosperity, of business machinery
we'll organized and oiled, and so full
Of the determination of the people to
get on, that it is not surprising there
should be such little bad effect on us
at home.
No one has yet had to 60 hungry,
no one has yet had to pay more than
before the war ended, no one has yet
been the victim of such a crash as to
destroy his business. We are clothed
and fed and warmed. and what more
do we want at this time?
Let the heather rage, and idiots
and fools imagine vain things! Let us
go forward!
This country is so big and noble
that it cannot be more than barely an
Inoyed by the Vaccinations of few
million dreamers crazed with the heal
,of seeming conquest. 1t is going tt
continue to be the biggest and the
best country on earth, and it is go
ing to continue to be ruled by thu
people-all of them, and not by any
: one class, or faction or clique.
Equal rights to all and special priv
iileges to nine, was meant to apply Il
the majority just as we'll as to tn
minority, and it's a poor rule tina
won't work both ways.
We are headed in the right diret
ton, but our road builders to the fl
ture have not yet got all the stump

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
It is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on it's merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has SO many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-R Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
