GOLD STUFF.

Benjamin Franklin tells of stopping
at street corner where crowd was
gathered for an auction. The crowd
was conversing "on the badness Of
the times and one of the company
called to the plain old man with white
locks PRAY, Father Abraham, what
think you of the times? Will not
these heavy taxes quite ruin the
country? What would you advise us
to"
Friends" he replied "the taxes are
indeed very heavy, and. If those laid
on the government were the only ones
we had to pay, we might more easily
discharge them, but we have many
others and much more grevious to
some Of us.
I'VE are taxed twice as much by
our idleness, three times as much by
our pride, and four times as much by
our folly; and from these taxes the
commissioners cannot ease or delives
us, by allowing an abatement.
However, let us harken to good
advice, and something may be done
for us; God helps those that help
themselves. as Poor Richard says"
Franklin is immortal because he is
universal He died 130 years ago, but
his words have the ring of something
that might have been spoken in any
church last Sunday by any preacher
discussing the subject, Needs of our
Times" Franklin spoke to the peo-
pie of his time and of all time.

be seriously interrupted the city popu-
lation would face starvation.
Farmers hesitate to pay high
wages because. unlike other indus
tries, there is no opportunity for e.
quick turnover or to pass the in
creased cost along to the consumers
Farmers are repeatedly assured from
one source or another that prices Of
all commodities will be lower this
year than last This may or may not
be true, but the farmers know that
the slump in livestock prices since
last July has cost them several mil
lions OF dollars. They are now faced
with the problem OF whether to pay
high prices for all the things they
have to buy, with the prospect that
after harvest. when they come tC
market their crop, they will be COM
PEELED to accept lower prices for
everything they have to sell; or whe
ther they shall cut down the initia
expense of production by investing
less capital in equipment, supplies
and hired labor. by reducing acreage
and number of live stock. The lat
ter course means smaller production
This is a matter which concerns every
business man and every consumer.
The food situation during the next
twelve months will depend on what
answer the farmers give to this diff
cult question.
''The problem of securing for the
farmer which will enable him tc
maintain production is difficult. At
tention must be given to better and
more economical methods of grading
storing, marketing and distributing
farm products. The Department Of
Agriculture is organized to develop
each of these essential factors for
making the business of farming more
profitable by making production and
marketing more efficient and econom-
ical"
Shortly after Mr.. Meredith was ap-
pointed Secretary Of Agriculture he
made this striking statement:
"Only the persons in the Depart
ment at present who are not civil
service are myself and the chief Of
the Western Bureau. The two assist
ant secretaryships are under civil
service, but both of them at this time
are vacant. 1t is my desire to see
one Of those places filled by a Demo-
! crat and the other by Republican,
so that, no matter which way the
! Forthcoming election goes, there will
be at least one administrative official

tact with the work of all the different

five MILLIONS
TO Be. INVESTED
IN CITRUS GROVE
(Orlando Sentinel)

The largest citrus fruit develop
ment project ever undertaken in
Florida is now under way in Orange
county which involves the planting OF
1000 acres of land in citrus fruit
trees representing an investment of
not less than $5,OOO0OO Such was
the announcement made yesterday
afternoon by men who are behind this
great development proposition which
is declared to be the largest under
taking of its kind in the Peninsular
State. The tract of land is in two
sections, close together, and in the
choicest citrus fruit belt in the entire
state-one tract eight miles west OF
Orlando on the brick highway consist
inc of about 1,500 acres and the other
tract a short distance west, consisting
of 2.55OO acres. Both tracts ar south
and southeast of Lake Apopka, the
second largest body of water in Flor
ida, and ample protection is thus af-
forded, and the soil is the same which
has made other groves in the same
vicinity famous for their fruit, pro-
ductivity and beauty.
Aside from actual operation IN the
field the business end of the huge de,
yelopment work is progressing satls
factorily. Thirty business men OF Or
lando have associated themselves to-
gther for the purpose of planting and
developing this 1000 acres OF choice
land. These thirty men are leaders
in the business and professional worlt
and it is doubtful if so much capita
or prestige as represented by lht
group of developers can be found be
hind any other projct of this kind ln
dertaken in Florida.
