THE HEALERS

rheumatism in my shoulder. in my feet and
neck makes me feel, as grow older, rather like
wreck. There are forty thousand spielers, each
cheerful scout Come to me and cease to
worry" says the healing guy; Il can cure you
in a hurry, if you'll let me try. I've designed a
modern diet; eat what l shall choose and the
pain no more will riot through your bones and
thews" TRY my poultice" says another, put
it on your toe, and you'll see now quick twill
smother every ache you know Says another
healer solemn, Lie down on that bench, and I'll
twist your spinal column with monkey wrench"
Like lambkn to the slaughter to the cures"
go; I've been soaked in sulphur water for a week
or SO; I've been decked with mustard plasters-
some stick to me sti-for the healers are my
masters, and do their will. Though the healers
glad predictions never are fulfilled still l listen
to the f1ctions of the healers skilled Every new
one finds me waiting with my checkbook near
and his prophecies elatng rob my soul of fear
And the healer, like linnet sings his song of
praise: zone is born most every minute, hence
my practice pays"

RATES AND FARMERS

Secretary Hoover evidently has an nkIing that
it is not more protection the farmer needs but more
favorable freight rates. He says that unless we
can readjust our railroad rates, we will have to
re-write the whole agricultural geography of the
United States. Our present rates will soon move
our granaries to foreign shores, for today costs
80 cents bushel to ship grain from Missouri to
New York and the same amount can be shipped
from Argentina for | 0 cents
This tells an amazing story Ii illustrates the
tremendous disadvantage under which the farmer
of this country labors whether, as in this case, he
is confronted by the actual competition CT for
eign producer or, as in the case of citrus fruits,

LET US GIVE THANKS

The copious showers of the last day or two
bring 10 remembrance the fact that the Almighty
is not forgetful of His creatures and that He has
bestowed upon Florida marvellous climate UNI
equaed anywhere else in the world While the
weather had continued dry for many days and
vegetation was beginning to suffer. relief came in
generous proportions and just when most badly
needed. The frailties of mankind tend to make
us thoughtess and careless about such things but
those who think along right lines see in all this
the goodness of kind Creator who balances all
things and who is quick to bless.

A NEW HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT

If the bill introduced in the Florida legislature
now in session at Tallahassee by Representative
Harris of Pinellas county become law the en-
tire state road department will be revoutionized.
In brief, the new plan is to constitute the governor,
the comptroller, the attorney general, the treas
urcr and the commissioner of agriculture state
highway board of which the governor shall be
president or chairman. They shall serve with
out salary but shall receive actual travelling and
incidental expenses in connection with their new
duties. A secretary is authorized at $4,000
year and competent highway engineer at not to
exceed $4,000 year. The latter is to employ
all district engineers and have a general super
vision Of road contracts road materials and all
other details that will enable the state of Florida
10 take advantage of the accumulation of federal
road aid that is now awaiting the actual compile
ton Of definite and accepted highway improve
ments in keeping with the standards required by
the federal government.

RECIPE FOR A GOOD ARTICLE.

Former Secretary of the Navy Daniels is writ
ing series of remembrance" concerning official
hfe-if Mr.. Daniels will tell the truth. all the
truth. and let the chips fall where they will (mix-
ing few metaphors) it will be quite the most in
terestng series of articles in print.-Miam Metrop-
OILS
We have an idea that almost anybody who
knows the inside of Washington for the last
six or seven years could write an exceedingly in
terestins article by following the same recipe But
ii would probably be adjudged seditious and cal
culatcd tic corrupt the rising generation.
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1921-05-17

his injury results from the overlooking of the price
by excessive rates. The country could, of course.
adjustAself to the present rates by finding substi-
tutes-oher modes of transportation or increased
local consumphon-but it never can pay the rates
! o1sal its products, and in the long run the roads
twill be the greatest sufferers.
