LAND VALUES

"Are laad values going DOWN."
we are asked from time to time. Our
answer is mo" Although it is pos
sible and altogether probable that
there will be lull in land sales for
a time, which is the natural result
of a tight money market. Those
who have bought high priced farms
in this county have no reason for
concern. This land will sell higher
than it would year ago if the mon
ey could be obtained on the same
terms.-Dodgevil Chronicle.
The Democrat sincerely hopes
that land values will not go
down. And if this country pur-
sues a wise commercial policy
there is no good reason why
they should go down. In fact,
with American ships to carry
American farm products to fa-
vorable markets, land values
ought to- go still higher. But
there is danger, nevertheless.
And that danger lies in substitu-
ting the nonsense of Protection
for the wisdom of Commercial
Freedom.

A CITY BEAUTIFUL

One of the things necessary
to make Mineral Point a city
beautiful is trimming the trees
in which the place so fully a
bounds.
When a member of the COM
mon council, a number Of years
ago, The writer introduced and
secured the passage Of an ordin-
ance which provides as follows:
at shall be the duty of each own
er or occupant of premises abutting
on any street or streets, alley or al
leyS, in said city to trim, and keep
trimmed all trees in any such street
or streets alley or alleys, upon which
the premises abut, if such trees are
situated upon said owners or Occu-
pants side of the center of the street
or alley. Such trees to be so trimmed
that the branches and limbs thereof
with their foliage, shall not fall or
:. hang down lower than a distance of
ten feet from any sidewalk, street or
alley. 1t shall likewise be the duty
of said owner or occupant to in like
manner trim each and every fruit
shade or ornamental rec upon his
premises which oVerhangs any pub
lie walk. street or alley'
Even though there were no Or
dinance compelling them SO to
do, civic pride and sense of
duty to others ought to induce
property owners to properly
trim, and keep trimmed, all
trees which overhang streets
and walks and which make trav-
el uncomfortable and at times
difficult. And there are very
many trees the cutting down Of
which would make the town
more attractive. Some trees,
which have grown up like c"saJ
weeds, with their. branches
overhanging walks and streets
are by no means beautiful. If a
landscape gardner could be given
a free hand in the work of re-
moving all useless and.unattrac-
tive trees in Mineral Point, what
a transformation there would be
The season for tree cutting
and tree trimming is on, and the
work here ought to be COM
menced in earnest and carried
forward with care and discern
ment, until the purpose of the
above ordinance is attained and
our city made more beautiful to

upon the opening of the assembly of
the League. M. Hyman's message
said in part:
"The assembly recognizes that you
have done perhaps more than any
other man to lay the foundation of
the League"
The reply of President Wilson fol-
''0'l'al Society so graciously sent
me by u,1u embly of the League
of Nations through you has gratified
me very deeply indeed. I am indeed
proud to be considered to have
played any part in promoting the
concord of nations with the estab-
lishment of such an instrumentality
as the League to whose increasing
usefulness and success / look for
ward with perfect confidence. Per-
nit me to extend my personal greet
ings to the assembly, if they will be
gracious enough to receive them to-
gether with an expression of my hope
and belief that their labOrs will be
of immense value to the whole civil
lied world

At Geneva

Milwaukee Journal: At Geneva,
in 1920, AZ nations were represented
in a deliberative body met for the
primary purpose of making war OBJ
solete. That much is written and
will remain. The nations have come
together for peace-gone farther
than the world has ever gone before.
and whether this meeting shall be at
length accounted a success or dis
appointment, the idea will not be
given up.
How can AZ nations, including the
most divergent types on earth, pos
sibly agree? The question will come
to the most hopeful. These repre-
sentatives come to urge the wishes,
the desires, the point of view, each of
his own particular people. Many of
their purposes will be selfish and
not to the interest of other nations.
On these things they cannot agree,
and these may even be majority of
the matters taken up. That doesn't
make the case hopeless. Suppose
they do agree to do a few things?
When our own congress first met,
there were very few things on which
the 13 states were of like mind, and
not very many things they could a.
gree to do together, even for the ad-
vantage of acting as nation. They
didn't expect the national govern
ment to attend to many things.
They had left most matters to state
governments. Yet to us the national
government is the allimpOrtant
thing, and has been for decades.
Congress regulates matters that no
single state would have allowed it to
touch in 1889.
What happened? Cooperation
worked so we'll where we let it work
that we gave the national govern
ment more and more to do. Jeffer-
son began by believing the nation
should not acquire territory. A few
years later, Jefferson, as president,
made the great Louisiana purchase.
He had gained faith in an expert
ment that he saw succeeding.
Jealousies, conflicting ambitions
all kinds of things beside the desire
for peace are in the minds of repre-
sentatives of the nations of Geneva.
But in the minds of the great mass
of the people at home the wish for
peace is uppermost. They see now
that i is possible for nations to a.
gree to talk over things together.
Will they be satisfied with any ex-
planation that there cannot be CO.
operation? No one has ever sugges-
ted that the framework Of their
League is perfect. But it has brOt
them together for a common purpose
under mutual pledges Of sincerity,
with a greater boon in view than
has ever been offered the world be-
fore That is why it cannot but be
memorable that in 1920 forty-two
countries Sent representative to the
first meeting of the League of Ma
tions.

knowledge Not Enough.

Those who, in the confidence Of SUI
perior capacities or attainments,
neglect the common maxims of life,
should be reminded that nothing will
supply the want of prudence; but that
negligence and irregularity, long con-
tinued, will make knowledge useless,
wit ridiculous, and genius contemptia
bile.-JohnsOn.

Winter Fruits That Feed.

Dried figs contain more than three
times the nutriment Of fresh eggs.
Figs are justly entitled to place
among the food fruits. In the dry
state or stewed they are an excellent
food for children in cold weather.
About five ounces Of figs and pint
Of milk make a sustaining meal for
an adult. Weight for weight, dates
are more nourishing than bread. In
desert tracts this fruit is often almost
the only source of nourishment for
men and women, camels. horses and
other animals.

DIR. HULLY DEFENDED

The Gainesville News, the other
day. contained Cedar Key dispatch,
announcing that DR.. Hully had taken
advantage Of his standing as a college
president TO talk politics in the Cedar
Key school. In reply to this, the priG-
cipal of the school wrote to the News
as follows:
Editor Gainesville News: | note in
your paper of the 26th the things said
about DIR. Lincoln Hully while he was
in the town of Cedar Key. The writer
of this epic starts off by saying: The
Rev. Doctor Lincoln Hully, candidate
for governor, spoke to comparatively
small audience here last night in the
moving picture show Now in this,
the writer erred. inasmuch as the
Star theater was filled, and there were
few people standing. The writer
goes on to say that DR.. Hully betook
| himself out to the high school unin-
| vited, and took up something over ar
| hour and a half of valuable time OF
| the children. etc. AS to this, | know
that DR.. Hully did go out to the high
school and further, that the majority
l of the patrons of the school feel thai
the school was highly favored by hav
ing DR.. Hully's visit. Leaving al
politics aside. the people here gener
ally do not believe DR.. Hully the kline
of man that would abuse mis- priv
ileges. Those that heard DR.. Hull,
here seemed to enjoy his talk. l d.
not know, however. that he made an.
votes. What l would like to hav
your readers know is that the citizen
of Cedar Key realize DR.. Hully'
worth as an educator, and are not a
whole stirred up over the fact tina
he visited and spoke in our school"

OCALA Is APATHETIC

Ocala is apathetic about its public
affairs. 1t is hustling and booming
with private business, but everybody's
business seems to be very near no
body's business, Judging by the
amount of interest taken.
We will soon have a schoO! district
election, to elect district trustees and
decide on the millage for the next two
years. This is a very important mat
ter. On it depends largely the num-
Der and qualifications of the teachers
our schools shall have next term, and
whether our schoolhouses shall receive
needed repairs or not. But it is safe
bet that not one citizen in five knows
the date of the election.
On the goth day of April, the voters
of the city with those of the rest of
the county will cast their ballots for
or against the issue of over half a
million dollars worth of bonds for
better roads. A great deal depends
on this election. If the bonds are vot-
ed, Marion will take her place among
the progressive counties of the state.
If bonds are rejected. Marion will
thereby announce her intention to be
as conservative as Chessahowltzka
swamp. In spite of the vital impor-
lance of this issue, it is being treat
ed with comparative indiff erence, and
on election day from fifty to hun
dred citizens-probably enough to de-
eide the result-will not vote unless
they are hunted up by their friends
and hauled to the polls.
On the 18th of May we will have g
bond election. to decide whether OF
not we shall invest $4,000 in repair.
/ ing or trying to repair our streets. A
very important subject and one that
the people should consider closely. The
matter is in debate. as to whether the
i $50, 900 will be a benefit or pour an
other $4,000 into the already yawn
] ing chasm of our public debt. Ye
the people seem to care so little abou
the matter that the average vote
does not know when the election will
take place land even fewer know thu
