This is the title of an editorial arti-
Gle in the February number OF the
Farm and Live Stock Record, of jack
sonville, just off the press. The arti-
Gle referred to goes to thousands OF
the most progressive farmers, fruit
growers, live stock and poultry raisers
in every one of the fifty-fOur counties
of Florida and those in southern Geor-
gia and Alabama The industrious
people, says the writer, have money
to spend-that is, most of them have"
and the advice that is given them at
this TIME is so generally applicable to
the people engaged in other lines OF
industry, and even to those who nave
money, but are not engaged in bust
ness or other activities, that it is here
repeated, as follows:

PRICES AND REASONS

The Journal has frequently been
asked to explain the reason why mer-
chants are now selling goods for less
than half the prices which they were
asking a year ago and why, in De-
cember, 1919, there was a difference
in the prices asked by various mer-
chants. Along this line of questioning
The Journal has received the follow
ing letter:

This is the time to spend money
for things that are needed, ana,
perhaps, a few of what are termed
the luxuries of life. It's long time
to be dead-but then you won't
need things as you do now. Mef-
chants need money for their stocks
of merchandise, that they may
clear their shelves, pay their bills
and lay in new supplies. The man
ufacturers need theorders and the
money. the goods ordered will
bring to them so that they may
keep their mills and shops run
ming, pay wages and keep thou
sands and hundreds of thousands
employed in order that they may
live, buy the food that the farmer
produces, the cloth that is made
from the wool and the cotton from
the farms, and thus, and in many
other channels and ways turn
back to the farmers the money
that they need to carry on their
business. It's what keeps the
wheels of business going round,
this spending of money wisely and
not boarding it and thereby bring
ing good to nobody, not even the
hoarders. There has been a period
of foolish spending. The pendu-
lum has swung as far the other
way. There is now much of un-
reasonable refusal to buy. Fool
ish spending and unwise refusal
to spend are both wrong, both do
harm. About all that is required
now to make what are called
good times" is wise spending for
things needed. Florida, more than
any other state in the Union, is
financially able to do it. And
Florida farmers ought to set an
example to the rest Of the coun-

but not when carried to the extent Of
destroying business and prosperity

This act seeks to amend Act No. 169. approved March I. 1919. and for the purpose of repeating certain see tiOnS of said act. .

To reasSure outside holders of Arkan Sas road district bonds. Governor MeRar yesterday issued statement i'll which he said that the Arkansas securities articles published in papers in other states have overdrawn the >o=ealled Arkansas road building disgrace
 The governor said that undeniable txampleS of unfair assessment and miapplied provisions in certain districts did not necessarily apply to the entire road building system and that the ar tirlcs appearing i'll certain newspapers had been built up on isolated examples and lent an impression tG the oGtSid" world that conditt ons are much worse than they really are
 The articles referred to by the gov ernor appeared last week in the New York Times of March 2G and the St Louis Globe Democrat of March 21 and were written by special correspondent who was sent here 10 investigate road building conditions in Arkansas. Fol lowing the publication of these articles the governor said. many letters had been received at his office from persons and corporations holding bonds on road districts in the state, who said that the articles tended to reduce the market KaIue# of the bonds and who asked for a statement of road conditions Most auf these inquiries have come from New York and st Louis. where the majority ot the road district bonds have been placed. the governor said.
