The Citizen is Deficient
If word were to come that group
of a dozen |. w. WIS were coming
to our city, we would get busy to
have them run out or put them in
Jail. But these other gentry, whom
we have with us always, who dis
grace the name Of our fair country
and city, who debauch our manhood
and destroy our fair girls. these men
are rarely molested. Why is this?
Because the citizen is deficient in
a true reverence for law. We prate
about our glorious constitution, how
noble and grand it is, then we show
contempt for the laws that are en-
acted to enforce this constitution.
The husband who is always talking
about his great love and respect
for his wife-then treats her with con-
tempt and consorts with another wo-
man is not more inconsistent.
Let Us Respect the Law
If we are really true and patriotic
constitution in deed. as well as in
word. Let us respect and obey the
laws that are made to make the
constitution effective. 1t is all right
to make other nations reverence and
respect our flag, but, we should
also show respect for II ourselves at
home.
The Good Citizen
A good citizen is not only obedient
to law himself but he is really jeal-
Gus of his country's good name and
helps to enforce the observance Of
law on the part Of others.
A good citizen may see to it that
no stagnant water breeds mosquitoes
on his premises but a careless, indif-
ferent neighbor can always furnish
enough to torment him.
Our Brothers Keeper
You and l have not done our whole
duty when we have kept the law, we
are also our brothers keeper, and his
blood will cry against us if we neglect
our responsibility to protect him.
An Epoch Making Year

sibility. We hope that she will not
travel in the rut that we men have
made.
To the Women
Dear woman voter: be clear-eyed
in your new duty and responsibility.
Let your first care be the safety
OF the nation and your own home.
An elevated ballot is far more desir-
able than mere party regularity. The

MORE REVENUE FOR THIS
COUNTY FROM AUTO TAX
THAN DERIVED IN 1919

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 1S.--
The increase in the amount of money
turned back by the state highway
department to the several counties OF
the state from the collection of auto
mobile license is strikingly illustrated
in figures just compiled and made
public by the state highway com
missioner.
During the year ended July 3lst,
1919. the total sent back TO the coun-
ties amounted to only 1851, ,9T6.S6,
while the amount refunded during the
year ended July 31st, 1920, reached
the aggregate of 1881 ,731.S9, which
is a flat increase of $979,755.53 over
the preceding year.
The amount refunded to Carter
county for the year ended last July,
was s39,9l167 as compared with $12,-
1929, the amount refunded year
ago. This remarkable increase is one
of the results of the new license law,
a product of the present administra-
ton, which increased the tax rate
on pleasure cars. and Of the aggress-
i've policy now in effect In the high
way department of strict enforce
ment Of the law.
The highway department retains ten
per cent of the amount collected,
which is turned into the general rev.
enue fund Of the state. The remain
ing 80 per cent goes back to the
county and becomes a part Of the
street and alley fund Of incorporated
municipalities, and OF the road and
bridge funds Of the counties.

Z all the people, is a product Of years
of toll and development. It is not
enough that good laws shall be in
the law books, they must be in the
hearts and desires of the people. A
good constitution means nothing tc
an anarchist.
Requires Vigilance
The founders Of our government
spent some months in creating a good
constitution, then they went home for
their work was done. But constant
vigilance and incessant training are
necessary to make this constitution
Of real value.
Law-Brealser Enemy to Country
Dlsrespect for the law Of our ma
tlon or state, is really "a kind Of petty
treason TO our government. The
law-breaker Is an enemy to our ma
ton and all who assist and encourage
him are equally guilty. The right
Of free speech, to stop work under
unfair conditions, and to demand
adequate pay for service is an in
herent right under our constitution;
but to destroy property and 10 forci-
bly, stop industries, are not right,
but wrong
The tendency OF our times seems
to be TO obey such laws as suit our
interests and to disobey those that
restrain our desires.

AN ITEM THAT is WORTH YOUR
WHILE

The secretary of the Board of Trade
furnishes the following valuable
and interesting item.-Ed. Banner.
Matt Ref, who has been in Marion
county since 1913, says that farming
is more profitable in Florida than in
Illinois. Mr.. Ref is from .Kewanee,
| Ill. For given amount of capital in
vested the farmer can make greater
return in Florida says Mr. Ref, who
gives this as his opinion after seven
years of farming near Martin in this
county. The reason for this is that
the climate of Florida gives the farm.
er longer growing period. making
possible the planting of more crops
in year, and making it possible to
follow any crop that fails with an
other crop the same season. Since
coming to Marion county Mr.. Ref
has paid for his land, put substantial
improvements on it, and put money in
the bank. He says that he would have
done even better il he had possessed
more capital
Mr.. Ref believes that successful
farming must be built upon a basis
OF livestock. He believes in putting
back into the soil as much or more

than is taken from it. This fall, there
fore, he intends building concrete
barn for his cattle, not because cattle
need any housing in Florida, but for
the purpose of getting manure with
which to replenish the fertility of the
soil He will also build a concrete
manure vat, following a plan that he
has himself worked out. He has a
herd of grade cattle on his farm, head
ed by a pure blooded Aberdeen-Angus
bull. He believes in cover crops and
in turning them under to get humus.
Mr.. Ref, with his brother| John
Ref, and Charles Cutschlag came to
Marion county from Henry county,
Illinois, in the fall of 1913. They
bought 1850 acres of land near Martin
Up until last year they farmed on this
tract together, having much cleaning
to do. They have now devided the
tract and are farming separately. Mr.
Matt Ref is farming the largest
acreage of the three, having more
land cleared. His success is typical
of the others who have followed him
in the move from Illinois to Florida.
Three barns one of which is concrete
and Just completed, and over hun
dred head of pure blooded Duroc-Jer-
sey hogs indicate the character of
farming he is doing. Mr.. Ref is plant
ing some truck and at present has
twenty acres in melons. His main
crops are corn velvet beans, and pea
nuts, and has always made enough of
these to give him surplus, for which
he has found ready market and good
prices. He has baled and marketed
hay.
Too many have made the mistake
of attempting to farm in Florida, says
Mr.. Ref, without the knowledge of
farming and without sufficient capital,
and for these reasons there have been
failures. There is now quite colony
of Illinois farmers at Martin, all of
whom have done well, and IL there
is anyone who doubts the possibilities
of farming in Florida let him visit
this colony.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A. BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take q
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break q
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
