BARBAROUS CHARITY


When man IS down there are two ways 10 help
him. One is 10 give nm something. he other Is
to make ii possible for him TO earn something. he
che makes him besgar and destroys his set-
respect. The other makes HIM free man and
arouses Ills ambition.
1t is worthy Of note that al cuI recent relief

Of the country the truth that the dull times in
their states result from local rather than general
causes and inspired their faith in the general
soundness OF the nation.
And now this prosperity is spreading. The re-
cent increase in the price of cotton brought happi-
ness to the entire cotton belt A group of Geor-
gans in Lakeland discussing conditions, this week,
transformation within the month"; They also de-
Glazed that the prosperity genuine, extending
right down to the poorest cotton grower, who in
most cases has morgaged his cotton but still holds
ii, and will get the full benefit of the better prices
Doubtless hmilar conditions prevail throughout
Alabama, the Carolnas, Mississippi and other
cotton stales. 1t means lifting the burden of debt
and giving the people a surplus for next years
crop production.
Florida, of course can not claim credit for this
stroke of fortune, but Floridas example helped
these states to keep up their courage when things
were looking dark
In a similar way, Florida has helped the great
manufacturing states. Their people have heard
OF me condluon eMSuhg mere. Many OF them are
taking advantage of it to come down here with
the hope of getting employment or going into bust
ness in a state which seems to be immune to bust
ness depressons.
Not all are coming empty handed Some of
them will bring capital, invest it here and make
permanent additions to the wealth of the state
They will benefit Florida by coming, and relieve
the pressure upon their cwn states by leaving.

quences Of Florida's fortunate condition Its effect

As Others See 1t
THOSE MARIAN MESSAGES
Gainesville Sum-

L may be, as 9!aYecai ':;isScc.5, th2. The pee
pie of Mars have been sending us messages. If
wireless ten times long as any pro-
duced by any existing mechanism this earth
are pusating through the ether, they must be
coming from somewhere, and if they are con-
tinued and periodic, it is natural to infer that
there is intelligence behind them. They may be
from Mars, and they may be efforts on the part
of that planet to establish communication with
us. Wireless messages might conceivably come
that far.
But needn't be hasty in adopting such
hypothesis. In the first place, nobody knows
whether there is any life on Mars at all In the
second place, if there are intelligent beings there,
it is pretty big assumption that they are farther
advanced than are, and have more power over
natural forces. And if it is granted that Mars
supports life, and that the greater age of the
planet has probably given that life a long start
in the race, there remains the question whether
conscious life the two planets be near
enough alike for Martians and Earth-folk to UNI
derstand each other
Egotstic man tends to assume, rashly that he
is the universal standard, and that consciousness
in Mars or elsewhere must be more or less like
his own A naturalist points out that for all we
know, if there are intelligent beings on Mars
they may be shaped like lizards or hippogriffs
and may be larger than mammoths smaller
than tadpoles Their world may be different
a bugs is from horses, or as either is from
ours. And if it be granted that real truth is the
same everywhere and that man the world
it really is, and that beings in Mars may be
likewise there remains the battling problem of
mutual understanding. How to inter-
pref their language or code, or they ours?
All of which considerations make Mars no less
fascinating, to people of speculative turn OF
mind. The red planet will long continue al
Turing problem. And perhaps it's just as well
Anything that gets peoples minds out of ruts
away from themselves and oblivious of their OWE
troubles is a good thing.

DO 1T RIGHT

The good old fashioned game of checkers is
more popular here than it has been for years
Lakeland has as good players as can be found
anywhere in the state Unlike ST. Petersburg and
Miami, this city has paid no attention to the or
gan:zaon; but the time is now ripe for move
menl in that direction A club devoted to the
study OF these two games is not as exciting to the
casual spectator as football or baseball club
but it affords real enjoyment to lovers of that form
Of sport and is one of the agencies which help 10
put the city on the map.
Horseshoe pitching, or "banyard GOLF is in
The same category. 1t is a homely, old-fashioned
game but it calls for a steady eye, we'll trained
muscles and skill attained only by long practice
This game is attracting attention the country over
and many interesting tournaments will be held in
the south this winter. Lakeland has the local
material and the grounds-all the facilities for
world of amusement and recreaiion-and it should
begin carly 10 organize for the "barnyard GOLF
season.
These things will net, perhaps, materially affect
the prosperity and growth of the city, but they are
minor elements in the complete round of life enter
ing INTO the metropolitan makeup. They are worth
cultiyating and whatever is worth doing at all is
worth dong right.

Daily Poem
ONCE IN A WHILE


Once in while the sun shines out,
And the arching skies are a perfect
blue;
Once in while, mid clouds of doubt
Hopes brightest stars come peep
ing through.
Our paths lead down by the meadows
fair.
Where the sweet blossoms nod and
smile,
And we lay aside our cross of care
Once in while.
Once in a while within our own
We clasp the hand of d sleadfast
friend
Once in a while we hear a tone
or love within the hearts own
voice to blend;
And the dearest of all our dreams
come true;
And on life's way is golden mile.
Each thirsting flower is kissed with
dew,
Once in 4 while
Once in a while in the desert sand
We find a spot of the fairest green;
Once in a while from where we stand
The hills Of Paradise are seen;
And perfect joy i'll our hearts we
hold.
A JOY that the world cannot defile;
We trade earth dross for purest gold
Once in while.

OLD AS YOU FEEL

l know lot of sprightly whose toll o
years is weighty, for all have passed three score
and ten, and some nearly eighty They pass
my cottage every day, on divers errands spinning
and some are bald and all gray-old gents
who've had their inning They've settled down
beside the sea- where life is calm and easy, and
here they'll dwell until they flee this vale so vain
and cheesy. But they don't sit upon the sands
and shrink and sigh and SILVER, and wait, and
wait, with folder hands, the call to cross the rv.
er. They're up and coming all the time to give
Old Age a trimming, and up the mountain sides
they climb, and in the go swimming. In
olden times the patriarchs sat waiting dissolu-
ton, and they were prone to grim remarks con-
corning retribution. When they'd achieve three
score and nine, they felt their graft was ended
and each one then took in his sign and to the
shadows wended. But the old boy won't say
die, or grant that he's fogy; he'll ride an air
plane to the sky, and fool with Colonel Boge
he'll send his motor up the pike until the speed
cops nail him; this young old man | greatly like
and with much ardor hail him.

ECONOMIC LAWS WILL SOLVE PROBLEM
Tampa Times.)

Tampa I1neSJ
The present economic situation in America is
due to lack of production, and this lack of pro-
ducton must be attributed to an unwillngness
in all quarters to recognize the arrival of new
price levels Europes plight is contributing
cause, but cannot be accepted as an excuse for
the unprecedented unemployment in nearly all
sections
Few men have vision enough voluntarily to re-
duce their profits or accept a cut in wages. This
is our real trouble. We know that we must get
down to lower levels, but are determined that
the other fellow must drop first The result
is seen in general holding back all along the
line.
Wealth, prosperity and higher standards of
living come only during periods of maximum pro-
duction, when there is work for all We shall
not have work for all until a profit can be made
on the output of the worker, and this will come
only after general acceptance of the new order.
Voluntary acceptance appears improbable, but
economic laws will do for us eventually what we
are incapable Of doing for ourselves
