WIDEN TIFF. ROADS

Without desiring to say anything that might
hinder the proposition to widen the roads of Polk
county. the Telegram would like to raise the ques-
ton of width. A hfteen-foot road is better than
a nine-foot road; but it i not good enough to
take of the rapidly increasing traffic of Polk
county. Roads should be wide enough for cars
to pass each other, even on curves, and going at
full speed, without danger of collision They
should be wide enough SC car. Will NOT nave to
run off the pavement to avoid danger or get by
jam.
OF course wide roads cost mo than narrow
ones, and the expense of bringing the nine-foot
roads up to the necessary width would be very
great-besldes, the narrower road; are not the
ones as a rule which at this time have to accom-
modate the most traffic. Nevertheless, we shall
have to come to wider basis eventually, and why
not begin to figure on it now

LET THE BONDS ALONE

If the people of the United States arc wise they
will protest vigorously against any proposals in
congress to monkey with the Liberty loan. The
government has not acted in the best of faith with
regard to the men who advanced the money to
win the war. and the decline in. value of these
herds is due to the arbitrary increase of interest
rates. following the arbitrary imitation of the cur
rency. And the effect has been to permit cap
italists to accumulate these bonds at fraction of
what they are really worth. But they are better
than any substitutes which would likely be offered
if they were called in and others issued in their
place. They are gold bonds. They bear what
in normal times is a high rate of interest. The
man who owns few of them can do no better
than to file them away in safe place and forget
them Some day they will be very valuable. -

BOOST THE EXCHANGE

it regards the Florida Citrus Exchange as the
most important institution in Florida affecting the
industry fer which the state stands pre-eminent
What the Exchange does says is always

to fruit growers, such suggestion is always in line
with what VIC conceive to be the policy Of that
organization In fact knowing as VIC do how
absolutely essential such an organization is to the
development Of tho citrus industry and, what is
equally important the establishment OF The citrus
trade upon the highest possible basis, know Of
no better way to boost citrus than by boosting the

every grower not affiliated with the Exchange

upon It's advice and cooperate more earnestly
