1t Is evident that the fear that Bel
GUM would become a dependent ma
ton, ruined and disheartened by war
and constantly in need Of aims from
the stronger powers was unfounded.
The Belgfans apparently faced their
difficult work with resolute courage
Whatever the reason, they have album
dainty justified the course of the al
lies In making the invasion of Bel
GUM one of the main issues in the
war. The country is today rated as
among the three strongest, in proper
ton to its resources, of the countries
in Europe.-St. Petersburg Tines.
Don't Be An Easy Mark
Florida is a fine field for the pick
Iings of the get-rich-quick bunch who
come here to elude the cold of the
north. This year, 1t is stated, hun
dreds Of confidence men and women
are working in the state, and in many
instances people have been saved ac-
tual loss for the very reason that the
the newspapers had sounded warn
ings along certain lines. OF course
these crowds of crooks usually confine
themselves to the large cities,~ but the
smaller cities and twons are sometimes
victims of their graft.
1t is very difficult always to be able
to tell a crook from an honest man.
This is why it is so very easy to get
stung. So to be on the safe side, it is
well to investigate any stranger who
makes you a proposition before you
enter into deal of any sort with
him. If, according to him, time is too
short to brook any delay on your part,
better call it off right them for nine
cases out of ten he is only after your
money.
Some of the commonest means Of
separating an unsuspecting man from
his money, is by inducing him to buy
all of which naturally are bogus.
These are good fields for the "con''
man to work, as it, is well known
that there is big money to be made in
such concerns If they are bona fide.
One OF the newest ways, however. Is
for an agent. either man or woman, to
gain access to a residence by offering
to demonstrate an article or show a
book, and in this way obtain informa-
ton as to the wealth of the family
and best way of breaking in the house
to obtain some of it. All agents are
assuredly not crooks, but some COM
munities have warned all housewives
to keep all strangers on the outside of
the front doors while discussing their
wares.-Marianna Times Courier.

COME UP SMILING.

Smile and the world smiles with vol
Knock. and you knock alone;
For the cheerful grin
Will let you In,
Where the kicker is never known.
GrowI and the way looks dreary,
Laugh and the path is bright,
For a welcome smile
Brings sunshine, while
A frown shuts out the light.
Sigh and you attain nothing,
Work and the prize is won,
For the neryy man
With backbone can
BY nothing be outdone.
Hustle and fortune awaits you.
Shirk and defeat is sure,
For there's no chance
OF deliverance
For the chap who can't endure.
Sing and the worlds harmonious,
Grumble. and things go wrong,
And all the time
You're out of rhyme
With the busy, busting throng. )

ReIaium,s Recovery

Throughout the early part of the
war, Germany's treatment of Belgium
was one of the strongest factors In
bringing the allies together in opposi-
ton to the German advances. The
invasion of Belgium in defiance of
treaty obligations gave them some
thing definite to fight for. It was
agreed by all that no allied victory
would deserve the name unless it pro-
vided for the evacuation OF Belgium
and reparations looking toward the
rehabilitation OF the country. Belgium
became the ward of the allied and
neutral world. A third of its factories
were destroyed, it's transportation
system suffered the loss of 1900 miles
of railroads. 1900 bridges, 600 kilo-
meters of canals, 10000 railroad cars
and $500 locomotives.
In a recent review of the industrial
situation in Belgium, the American
consul general at Brussels shows that
with the exception of the steel indus
try, Belgium's factories are now on
production schedule practically
equal to that before the war. The
railroads have been restored so that
they are regarded as on a pre-war
basis OF operation. Before the price
cutting wave from America struck
Belgium, the textile industry was
thriving. There is less Bolshevism
and less labor trouble in Belgium
than in any of the allied countries in
Europe, and the government seems to
be able 10 retire the 5000, 600, 900 Ger

Progressive Young cities

Progressive Young Cities
Florida has been making history in
more ways than one during the past
ten years and it is very evident now
that the decade which began a year
ago viii see even more wonderful
history compiled. in this state, espe-
cially with respect to increased pop
ulation and development.
/ OF course the larger cities all made
remarkable showings but the big in
creases were not confined to them en-
tirely. Quite a number of small cities,
which We're nothing more than ham
lets ten years ago. were put on the
map for the first time in the recent
government census and their careers
will be watched with interest all over
the country. This may sound a bit
doubtful but it is the truth never
theless, as there are hundreds Of
thousands of residents of other states
who are familiar with most of the live
towns of Florida, because they spend
from one to six months in the state
every year and while there they get
about a great deal on our good roads
and know a lot about many places.
One of the towns that started max
ing history for itself and its state is
Fort Lauderdale, which was nothing
but corners one might say, in 1910.
1t now has an actual population of
between two and three thousand and
in the winter that is augmented by an
equal amount of visitors and winter
residents and Fort Lauderdale is a
real city with all the metropolitan
trimmings. At a meeting of the board
of trade a few evenings ago It was
decided to advertise Fort Lauderdale
in the Miami newspapers and the
Jacksonville newspapers and in other
publications and $4,000 was subscribed
for that purpose at the meeting by
leading business and professional
men.
Fort Lauderdale has one of the fin
est hotels in the state and 1t is de-
velopingS its business section, resi-
dence section and its ocean beach sec
ton and being the newest good sized
city to Miami it is bound to become
an important point and should grow
rapidly during the ten years ahead

lieves in advertising and that will in
sure it's capacity for next year and
the years to come.-Times- Union.
