NOTHING GAINED
WITHOUT EFFORT

Indianapolis Star: Ice three feet
thick isn't frozen in a single night.
Great writer's and painters and mu-
sicians may be born such-as we are
frequently told-but it usually takes
tnem years to learn the great secret.
And they never attain an enviable
place in the worlds eye unless they
work hard and develop the talents
God has graciously given them.
This is something every person
should remember when striving for a
worth while place and a comfortable
future.
It matters not what line Of endeav-
or we may enter. If we would climb
the ladder to success we must be pa
tient enough to take time to test the
rungs.
Certainly we admit that these are
days of hurry and speed-days when
men are wearing master minds on
| young shoulders. But, let none Of US
forget that we must start out eau
/ tiously and have a solid foundation
on which to build.
We are fortunate, indeed, in having
schools and colleges expanding with
the demands Of the times, which are
within reach Of all who aim to make
their marks in the world.
j, Education is essential to those who
enter the pathway to greatness. 1t is
also necessary II we would get our
full measure Of pleasure out Of the
average place most Of us occupy In
this happy land.
There is nothing to be learned that
will not come in handy some time. Let
us take full advantage of our oppor-
tunities to grasp knowledge whenever
it comes our way.

SUGAR IN FLORIDA

With regard to the possibility OF
producing sugar in Florida in large
quantities, and at production cost
comparing favorably with that of the
Louisiana crop, there is no room for
doubt. It is equally clear that at any
thing like present prices, sugar pro-
duction would be immensely profit
able.
In entering upon it on large scale,
however, the future Of the sugar mar
ket must be considered, and, of
course, the future must be judged by
the past, so far as past conditions APP
ply.
The sugar market was kept down
for many years before the outbreak
Of the war by three distinct causes.
One was the German production OF
beet sugar; the second was the in
creased production Of beet sugar in
America, and the third was largely
the result of the other two, the in
creased reliance of the West India
sugar producers upon the American
market.
There is nothing to hinder this con-
bination OF causes from being re-
stored. German production will be
greatly stimulated by the present high
prices. And as peace is finally estab-
l:shed, vast areas of land adapted to
beet culture in Poland. Hungary, Rus
STA and other European countries will
be put to that use. Europe will, to
say the least, produce its own sugar
In this country the beet producing

on their pets develops spirit Of be-

THE HOUSING PROBLEM

A scarcity of houses is reported
from nearly every city in the land
and this despite the fact that the ma
tority Of them have made much
smaller increase in population during
he last ten years than for any other
equal period.
With scarcity Of houses rents are
'aturally high and there Is a reason
for this besides the one furnished by
the law of supply and demand. It
costs fully twice as much to build a
house as it cost to build one precisely
like it in 1914 and if they are to pay
the same per cent Of their value in
rent they must rent for rs per cent
more.
! But this drags up the rent Of hous-
es constructed under lower price con
ditions and while one man may be
| getting only eight pei cent for his
Z
house another may be getting four
teen for one just like it without
charging any higher rent.
One reason of the scarcity of hous.

Estates Of Michigan, wisconsin and

states of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
Of course there are practical limi-
'Aations. and, in the past, those have
kept sugar production down to a safe
lflnt, But so far as natural limita-
stionS sare concerned, America could
produce beet sugar for a population
several times as large as it now pos
|sesses.
i, The condition of the cane sugar
business in Louisiana at the begin
ming OF the war shows that it is very
difficult for cane sugar to compete
with the beet product.
h Now, how do these conditions APP
ply to Florida Not TO deter sugar
cane developments, but to guide it in
the right direction.
Florida growers should plant with
a view to utilizing the product either
in sugar or syrup. If the price OF su-
gar goes down to point at which pro-
duction is Improbable, they still have
boundless market for the finest syr-
up produced in the United States, a
market which is capable of unlimited
expansion.
It is as profitable to produce syrup
as sugar. The same field will produce
either. BY holding the syrup-making
possibilities in reserve the grower can
force the best possible treatment from
the sugar refineries.
There seems to be no reason why
this state should not develop a great
and safe industry along these lines.
