NEW ARMY OUR BEST

Secretary Baker in his annual re-
port anticipates no difficulty in en-
listing the new army up to its full
strength of 100000 and maintaining
that force by voluntary enlistment,
which is the principle adopted by
congress in the army reorganization
bill. Secretary Baker expresses the
opinion that by the new organization
the nation has a plan Of defense far
superior to any Of the past. The
army is not greatly increased in size,
but the plan Of organization is
adopted to enneroenry ureparation
and to quick mobilization in the event
of war.

Sarasota, Fla, January II, 1921.
Editor Leader-l notice my sub
scllpuon expires to yor paper III TINS
month, ana as | don't want to miss
a single copy, am enclosing check, ror
Whlcn l ask tnat you renew my sub
selptlon for this year. Have been
getting the paper quite regularly
nave only missed two issues during
the year. 1t takes three DAYS after
tae paper leaves your office 10 reach
me, but it is news to me, even though
late receiving it.
Our little city is full Of winter yis,-
tors. We have some from Memphis.
Chattanooga and Fayetteville, Tenn.
mere this winter There is one house
here owned by man from Tennes-
see and is called the Tennessee House.
People come here from every State
in the Union and quite few come
from Canada.
We are having lovely winter and
everything has the air of June, the
flowers bloom here more in winter
than at any other season, and people
are often seen dressed in summer
clothing. The winters here are per-
tect, but the summers get little
tiresome, as we have so much rain.
August and September are our
dreaded hot months. The rains be-
gin to let up at that time and the
heat is very trying. People almost
spend these two months on the beach,
as cool dip in the gulf is very re-
freshing. Should anyone from Cow
ington come South next winter,
invite you to come to Sarasota and
will take pleasure in getting them
located. Very truly,
MRS. 0. H. CRIBRINS.

QUIT TALKING HARD TIMES

The country is slowly but surely
coming from under the "spelr' Of
fear, and things are looking brighter.
Entertaining fear is a psychological
crime. As a man thinketh, so is he.
If you believe you are broke, send for
the sheriff to foreclose you. If you
have faith in yourself and conf
dence in the soundness Of the business
Of the country, forget the past and
look to the future with hope and
courage.-Lauderdale County Enter

prise.
The talk Of hard times comes from
a state of mind. Those who sit for
hours figuring out how they can es-
cape taxation and whether or not
they can get by are the ones respon-
sible for this condition. If they would
spend this time in developing instead
Of depressing, there could not be any
hard times here or anywhere else.--
Columbia Herald.
But one thing is sure: Never did
a year begin with such opportunities
as are presented now for the exercise
Of energy, initiative, forward looking.
The depression through which the
United States has but lately passed
was time to try mems souls. That
depression, fortunately, has passed
into history. From every industrial
quarter Of the country there comes
news Of resumption. The greatest
industrial leaders are hopeful. New
business is being booked. All the
nations Of the earth are entering the
new year with zest. The money
markets Of Europe are strengthening.
Demand for American products is
Increasing. The clouds that promised
revolution and business stagnation in
certain quarters Of Europe are lift
ing. The greatest nation Of earth is
returning to its old hopeful conf
dence in the opportunities Of the
present and the rewards that must
follow limitless production.
1t is a good slogan for every indi-
vidual in the Birmingham district to
carry at the very front of his mind.
