MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
The Election

The primary election has come ant
gone and with il, as usual, goes the
political hopes and fondest aspira
tions of lot of good citizens. but
poor runners in race for public
office.
The outstanding feature of the ell.
ection, was the passage OF every mea.
sure on the ballot. 1t shows that
people go to the polls now with clear
cut convictions as to the merits of 4
measure and they vote accordingly
It seems that in the past, many no
votes were cast because, argued the
voter, lit is better to kill all the mea-
sures, including the good, rather than
to let a bad one slip by" The peo-
pie generally, of the state at large,
understood the seriousness of the sit
uation that has confronted the educa-
tional institutions of Oregon. They
fully realized. as their vote showed.
that progress was possible for the
schools only through a liberal fnan-
cial patronage. 1t is fortunate for
Oregon that she has an intelligent
citizenship.
1t is to be lamented that so many
people do not consider a primary ell
ection Of enough Importance to 60 to
the polls and cast their vote. There
were few if any counties in the state
where more than half vote was cast
last Friday Yet we predict that the
presidential campaign will warm up
to such an extent in the coming
months, that it will be the means of
bringing out full vote next Novem-
ber.

President Wilson virtually asked
for the retirement of Senator Cham
berlain. The members of his party
voted overwhelmingly to retain the
Senator. Johnson carried the state
by slim margin to be sure, yet it
shows cOnclusively that there are a
great number of Oregonians who do
not favor league of nations. Taken
all the way through it would appear
that President Wilson and some of
his doctrine is not solid with the peo-
pie of this state. Yet McAdoo, who
assumes the leadership of Wilsonian
policies, was accorded the full demo-
cratic vote, It's a complicated stu
alton that will easily unravel itself
next November.

More Home Owners

The red flag never flies over a
man who owns his own home"
The above is the epigramatic re-
mark of a great American citizen.
And he is right The moment a
man buys his own home, whether it
is in the city or the country, he in
stinetively, and perhaps unconscious
ly, feels himself a part owner in the
whole country. No man can have
that feeling and be an anarchist or
a bolshevist.

never get very far in the United

The Sugar Shortage

It's pretty nearly time that some
body put curb on the outrageous
prices of sugar. Depending on what
part of the country you are in, you
are paying anywhere from 22 to 80
cents a pound. And from the finan-
cial centers we hear talk of 35-cent
sugar and even higher.
We don't know how much beet SUI
gar enters in this profteering busi
ness. We are pretty sure that the
beet grower himself gets little more
than his cost of raising beets; pretty
sure because that's the fact with prac-

this state Improbable, there is an
unlimited demand for Florida syrup
Winter vegetable growing will take
an ever-increasing importance among
the states industries. The truth is
Florida can produce so wide variety
OF things that the course of its agri-
cultural development will depend as
much upon the needs of the markets
as the facilities of its soil and eli
mate.
Commerce is the thing that builds
cities. F1orida's advantages are nat.
uIal and not capable of being Offset
by any rival. The Panama canal, with
all it's stream of far eastern wealth,
is closer to Florida than to any other
state. The coast of the state, east and
west, is lined with excellent harbors.
The day may be postponed, but the
time will surely come when every
harbor on the Florida coast will be
a shipping point, connected by rail
with the great cities and congested
populations of the north, and by lines
of busy ships with the countries Of
South America, the West Indies, Mex
leo (when that country shall resume
its sanity, and the measureless
fields of commerce which lie beyond
the Isthmus of Panama. Prosper
GUS coast cities mean a prosperous
hinterland. Hence, every part Of
Florida is equally interested in de-
yeloping its commercial advantages.
These three great resources-cli-
mate, agriculture and commercial ad-
vantages,-afford an absolute guar
antee Of the states future. In the
long run, the operation of natural
economic laws forces development
along the most economic lines. HUI
man agency, however, can hasten or
retard this process. 1t is up to Flor
ida, and to those, within and without
the state, who are interested in it's
to recognize these great
factors Of prosperity, and work in
harmony with them, with full conf
dence in the result Breadth of vision
gave Florida its excellent highways
and its well-located lines of railroad.
A similar breadth is now required to
articulate these with the great ar
teries Of world traffic and make Flor
ida he true gateway to the greater
south.

STEAM LAUNDRY
NOW OCCUPYING
new BUILDING

TEa Lakeland Steam Laundry,
whose plant was destroyed in the big
fire last spring, is now occupying its
new building. R. W. Weaver, the
proprietor, states that they are car
rying on the office work only and will
not be able to resume operations in
full for at least two weeks.
Mr.. Weaver suffered a fire loss Of
thirty thousand on machinery alone,
and 1t speaks for his optimism and
business landing that he is avle to
build bigger and better plant on the
ruins of the old.
The floor space Of the new building
is 75x100 feet, which is an increase
Of twenty-five feet over the width of
the old establishment.
Three Of the old machines have
been rebuilt. Everything else is new
and the whole establishment is one
OF the finest, II not the finest in the
south. Ten washing machines of the
most improved, time and labor-seving
type, five wringers Of the centrifugal
type, and drying rooms Of an inter
esting mechanism are parts of the
new equipment. Even with this ex-
cellent machinery a force Of fifty
persons is necessary to carry on the
work Of the laundry, which has fifty
four neighboring towns on it's list of
customers. Mr.. Weaver estimates
that sixty per cent of his patronage
Is from outside Lakeland.
A wonderful ventilating system Is
an interesting feature of the new
order of things. Four large exhaust
fans make it possible to convey air
from the front door to an enforced
exit at the rear in three-fourths of a
minute This, according to Mr.. Weav-
er, will prove profitable as we'll as a
humanitarian feature. He says, TT
pays to have your employees comfort
able. We have noticed that 1t takes
twelve hours in July to do the work
that can be done in eight hours in
January"
The Lakeland Steam Laundry has
always kept step with the progress Of
the city; has indeed been one Of the
city's aids to advancement, and the
new institution in every way Is
worthy Of the community's interest
and pride.

FLORIDA'S FUTURE

Climate, agriculture and commerce
are the three great factors upon
which Florida's future depends.
Minor industries, like fishing, phos-
plate mining and certain forms of
manufacture, will swell the sum total
OF the states prosperity, but they will
always remain subordinate.
Florida's climate is the magnet
which draws hundreds of thousands
o. winter tourists and guarantees
that this shall remain the nations

the state, but it is more pronounced

Its climate alone would be sufficient
to guarantee its future.
Its agriculture, still in its infancy,
Is factor of tremendous Importance.

The production of citrus and other
