Steel Men Had Golden Year:
Revival i'm 1921 Is Predicted

union leadership, which Is not disposed
TO recognize that the time for every
worker to make concessions has az
rived.
Bat the country needs the steel, it
needs it as seldom before, and the need
must be supplied, which is the reason
for the optimistic, though cautious, at
Ttude OF the larger steel companies.

PITTSBURGH, January !.

hE close of the year finds the steel
industry facing uncertainty as to
only one thing, and that is the
date upon which business will re-
sumo. Selling prices have been lowered
as Tar as they are likely to 20, labor
costs are being adjusted by each manu-
1acturer in his own way, and all the
CLher problems entering into a period
or readJ dJustment Of the industry are
relng solved or are solving themselves.
There IS great variety Of opinion as

take place, just as there is great vari-
ety OF method in hastenlng its com .ng.
some steel manufacturers, inclined to
gloom, foresee long period of dull

The two sources Of new business
counted upon most, the railroads and
the building industry, will be slow to

have their own troubles to adjust.
The railroads, before thew can bnv
steel in quantities, must accumula te
more funds, must readjust labor CON

government operation and must bar

RAILROAD PROGRESSING

Arcadia, Sept 26-Marked pro-
gross is being made toward construc-
tiCn of a railroad which it is expect
ed eventually will connect Miami and
Clewiston, according to W. c. Wolfe
Of Miami, who was here recently in
connection with the Tatum Interests
CT that city. Mr. Wolfe stated that
the Tatums had purchased large
areas of land bordering the Miami
Canal and that they were pushing
construction of the roadbed for a
railroad for which they have a fran
chise, using the spoils of the west
side of the canal for the purpose.
1t is planned to begin work al
Clewiston. at the south shore CT Lakl
Okeechobee and build south along
the canal. Completion of the railroad
would provide a route across the
southern part CT the state from thi
Gulf to the Atlantic.

THE NEGRO FARMER IN FLORIDA

The Mount Dora Topics Of this
week has the following TO say:
Robert Terraine, one of the most
progressive Of Mount Dora's colored
citizens, has Niagara grape vine at
his home that should encourage the
raising of these grapes on large
scale. 1t was budded a year ago this
spring and.t this summer has produced
over bushel and half of fruit
large clusters of perfect grapes and
as delicious as they look, judging from
those that were presented to the
Topics"
On the Florida farms are some of
the best negro farmers in the South.
1t is remarkable to note that of all the
colored farmers reported in the 1920
census only about per cent of them
are outside the South. So, to find
the negro at home, at least on the
home farm, one must look in the South.
There are II, 954 negro farmers in
the state who are operating their own
farms. OF course, 344 have fewer
than three acres; 2,777 have between
three and nine acres; and 4, 7s5 have
between ten and nineteen acres.
There are 12,701 farming between
twenty and forty-nine acres; S,486
farming fifty to ninety-nine acres,
and 6,714 making a good business of
farming on between 100 to 174 acres.
We find there are 1858 negroes own
farms of between It's and 259 acres,
and 1874 operating no farms of $50
to 499 acres. There are few even in
the state who know that there are 67S
negro farmers in Florida operating
farms of between 500 and 999 acres,
and 800 Of them with farms of 1000
acres and over.
And on these FARMS they are not
only growing something to eat, but
the finest of fruits and vegetables for
shipment and the finest of livestock,
and dairy cattle: and you will find
them living in homes that will surprise

BATHING SUITS

Somebody is always taking the JOY
out Of life. Now complaints are being
made against the bathing suits which
are affected (affected is a good word)
by feminine bathers. The people who
make these complaints against the alb
Observation-Disclosures bathing suit,
short skirts and tenuous waists, and
hose no doubt imagine that they are
Aspurred on by high sense 6f moral
ity when as a matter of fact they are
only troubled with Indigestion.
The Republican long ago took such
stand against proprietary medicines
thar it refused, has consistently refus-
ed, and sill refuses to accept adver-
easements of patent medicines. But
it cannot forbear recommending to
these critics of bathing suits the use,
of dyspepsia tablets or some other
gloom chaser.
How shocked these people would
have been if they could have Nseen
Anadyomene or Aphrodite, without
even q nightie, shell-clad only as to
her feet! rising from the sea and
wringing the water from her hair.
A bathing suit is made to swim in.
Anyone who has tried it knows that
the fewer clothes he or she wears in
water the easier it is to make pro
gress. We suppose if these dyspeptic
persons had their way they would
make the bathers wear .cloaks, artic
overshpes and ear muffs.
And then, there is the innocent by
stander to be considered. He has GER
tain rights Of vision that are not to
be infringedp upon by the would-be
regulators of bathing costumes. What
has he been given eyes for but to see
with? And what can he see worth
while If the object of his vision is
clad In from-neck-to to-ankle bathing
dress? He might as well spend his
time down town looking into shop
windows at an exhibition Of dummies
in Women's winter wear.
We are not pleading any personals
privilege. We have not been outraged
by these proceedings along the canal
or other bathing resorts, for we have
not witnessed them Our plea for
freedom in bathing suits is a general
one, in behalf of bathers and audi
ence and all healthy humanity.
We will admit that the ultra-modern
bathing suit does not look equally
well on bathers. That depends In
one case it evokes admiration: an.
other, it provokes ridicule. But that
is not a matter of legislation or mo-
rality. but aesthetics. Phoenix( (Ariz.)

MONEY

Gugliemo Ferrero, the Italian Econ
omist, in Hearst's International Says:
ITO man derelict in the desert of
Sahara loaf and pitcher of water
would prove more precious than a
sackful of coins.
why. then, do men. always con-
found riches with money as if mere
money were wealth?
Because money is a docile and
mobile slave. Easily subjected to all
transformations, it DISCUSSES as its
master Wills, while all forms of wealth
only bend their rigid and limited
natures.
Money Is all things; a friend or a
foe, master or ranker, a creator
or destroyer, an angel or demon.
Man need but make sign, money
serves him as he wills in one or other
of these opposed capacities. But just
for this very reason money is a peri
lous test for human weakness.
And it is precisely this which is
the malady that today torments our
western civilization 1t seems to be
new but it is as old as the world.
Our forefathers knew it and feared it:
we moderns are slow to Recognize it
because no civilization so much as ours
has sincerely believed that money
was the best and safest friend of man.
Money passes quickly from hand
to hand, teaching idleness, extrava-
gance, luxury, vice and greed to mil
lions of men who several years ago
lived simply and honestly. Yet it
leaves everyone dissatisfied and more
than ever in need. True money, which
man makes after hard labor, may still
serve as angel or demon False mon
ey, which man multiplies without
fatigue, can serve only as demon.
"A publication is needed. True
money must recover its soul, must
revolt against the bacchanalia that
since seven years riots among ruins
and gore, must become once more
the faithful friend and helpful aid
to the fruitful arts of peace
