Good Times Ahead

There is veriable flood of opti-
mism touching business conditions in
1922. And welcome it is. The New
Year statements and interviews by
men of worldwide contact with af-
fairs presages the message which
hundreds of others will present. For
year we have been fed on little
more than hope, but the New Year
forecasts are founded on facts, where
fore we may rely on them.
The gist of the statement is that
the corner has been definitely turn
ed" Liquidation has been virtually
completed; defation is accomplished
credit is easy; industry is respond
ing to increased demand for goods, at
home and abroad; waste has been in
large measure eliminated; extrava-
gance is thing of the past. The
people are ready to put their should
ers to the wheel and push. There is
no guessing about any of these
things. Records are cited to substan-
tate conclusions which expert OBJ
servers have drawn.
Optimism is in the air, which
means that an eager people will go
head, stimulated by confidence and
rust, which are themselves touch
tones of prosperity. But they will
lot go ahead too fast. 1t would be
ad to force business over-much. |

Florida Farmers Fare Well

An Indiana large land owner, now
in Tampa for the winter, declares he
cannot sell land in that state for $40
an acre which two years ago he could
have gotten 5000 an acre for. High
taxes and low farm products values
are the cause. We suggest that he
take $39 an acre for his land and
come to Florida, where the annual
increase in land values will enable
him to invest here and recoup his
loss, and more, in the next five or
six years.
The farmers of the western and
central grain states have just kick
coming. The Republican party con-
demned Woodrow Wilson for fixing
the price of wheat at s235, claiming
they could have gotten 1885 if Will
son had not interfered. Well, no one
is interfering now: and they do say
that the ablest bodied farmers son
in that section cannot stand up I'M
der dollars worth of Harding ad-
ministration oats!--Tampa Tribune.

in Ontario, Canada, has the following
comment which is worthy of consider
alton by those people who think that
"a newspaper Just grows" and feeds
on thin air, accomplishing wonderful
things without ever running out Of
fuel or pep or courage:
The reason the newspaper grave
yard is so full is that in 1907 wages
were at 100; in 1914, they had ad-
vanced to 178, and in 1921 the figure
was 1893. Newsprint from 100 jump
ed to 1T in 1914, and to 623 in
1921. Newspaper postage, which
cost the normal of 100 in 1907, was
lat in 1914, and 337 in 1921. Ink
was 100 in 1907, 200 in 1914, and
today stands at 331. Editorial ex-
pense advanced from 100 at 331,
Editorial expense advanced from 100
in 1907 to 125 in 1914, and to 244
in 1921. By taking the average of
all newspaper costs, it was found that
while the average or index number
of 1907 was 100, in 1914 it was
150, and in 1921 it reached the high
mark of All. More than 1000 news
paper publications have thus gone out
Of existence in the United States and
4 corresponding number of them in
Canada.-Leesburg Commercial.

Those generous and estimable peo-
pie, particularly the ladies, who are
lavish in their efforts to contribute
to the social life of the town by CIV
ing various delightful functions, to
which many are invited, have a right
to complain that the guests partaking
of their Inequalities do not manifest
proper appreciation, save only by a
few formal, trite and perfunctory ex-
pressions of thanks at the close of the
functions given. 1t would seem that
those who are honored with invita-
lions to pleasant social affairs would
have the courtesy due to their hos
tess to make a report of them to
the local newspaper. In cities hav-
daily newspapers employing
society editors, guests at social func-
uons report them either in writing
or by telephone to the society editor
N. B.: Punta Gorda is not a city, but
the Herald will be glad to print re
ports of local social affairs if fur
nished with them.

Help En- to Die!

Readers, have you noticed how
many anti-something organizations
are appealing for contributions or
how many are going along on funds
contributed by private citizens?
There are the Anti-Saloon League the
Anti-Cigarette League and the Anti
Tobacco League and plenty of others.
Every one of these organizations is
supported by the money paid into it's
treasury. They should close up shop.
The Anti-Saloon League has achieved
its purpose; there are no more sa-
looms. The Anti-Cigarette League
gets nowhere and the Anti-Tobacco
League, so far as we can see, amounts
to little or nothing, the only members
we ever heard of being DR.. Pease and
the banshee, Annette Hazeleton. All
the ants do is to annoy people with
their appeals, their efforts to force
folk to do what they do not wish to
do; generally speaking, these antis
are lot of busybodies.
Then, may we be permitted to ap-
peal to everybody not to give any of
these leagues another cent? OF
course, employees of the Anti-Saloon
League-we do not know about the
others-draw wages for their dis
agreeable efforts, and the money
comes from well-to-do men. If they |
will close their purses and let the
Anti-Saloon League go into a hole |
and have some oCe plug Up the hoe
a favor will be conferred on the folk
hereabouts. We are weary of hear
ing what Anderson has to say and
tired beyond words of hearing an
nounces by one Wayne Wheeler.
Stop the giving of funds and the
Anti-Saloon Leaguers will have to
seek other employment.
There are worthy charities to
which one may contribute; the money
will be well spent if placed in the
hands of the Salvation Army, and
there are other honorable organiza-
tions to which contributions may be
made. But for the love of mankind
and in the name of peace cease CIV
ing anything to these "antis. -

We cannot help but admire the
man who always comes out in tn,
open and takes a stand on public
questions-even if he doesn't happen
to be our side; on the other hand VIZ
have no use for the fellow who tries
to carry water on both shulders, as
some seem to be trying to do on the
bonding question. However, those
who have not the courage to openly
declare their stand to the world, but
go about trying to play politics, will
not be strong factor in this or any
other discussion-for sooner or later
both sides will find them out and
they'll get the boot from both direc-
tions.

Always Some Sore Grafters

Over in Barlow where Gallemore is
running a mighty good paper and
getting it out twice each week there
seems to be an element anxious to
have another newspaper" Such a
coterie are always dishonest to chem
selves-and dishonest to the man
whom they'd inveigle into risking
good money by investing in a dry
hole; and they'd be mighty quick to
desert the new man if he uttered
word that they could not censor. 1t
would be silly TO start an ,ther paper
in Barlow. Some people are never
satisfied. There are those who kick
on the bible-a group of considerable
size that would start a new one" if
they but had the brains. In the
meantime the bible is still doing bust
ness-and probably will be for some
time to come-Kissimme Valley
Gazette.

OUGHT TO GET OUT

If there is anything that the
Ieditor of this paper likes less than a
rattlesnake, 1t is chronic knocker-
the man or woman who is continually
running down" the town where they
| live or where they may be stopping
for a time without restraint. Such
persons are a detriment to the COM
munity as a whole and injure every
citizen of the community in proper
ton to the extent to which they are
interested in it financially-and it is
a pity that communities cannot sue
such persons for SANDER and recover
damages. 1t is all right for citizens
of a town or city to kick" when
something really goes wrong and one
cannot be censured justly for telling
the truth about things-no matter
how bad the truth may be. 1t is not
to the kicker" we refer, but to the
|"knocker'-the fellow who has a
chronic bellyache and is always grum-
bling and growing and saying the
place where he is living or staying
is the bum place of creation.
A few mornings ago, the editor was
picked up" on his way to town by a
gentleman in a flivver bearing an
Indiana license. Taking the driver
flor a tourist, the editor inquired how
long the supposed tourist had been
here.
ooh, I've been here about six
weeks; been coming here for twenty
years" was the reply.
How do you like the place." the
editor asked.
"Oh, this town is the =" pro
priety forbids us to print the re-
Imarks.)
us that so?" we asked, surprised
that a man holding such views would
continue to come year after year for
20 years.
Eyes. used to own a lot of
property here, and still own some.
Couldn't sell it now for half what
paid for it. Why, this was lot bet
tier town 20 years ago than it is now"
By this time we had arrived at the
Ipostoffice. We thanked the man for
the lift" but told him the best thing
he could do would be to leave the
town and never come back. Later
we were informed that the man had
been a resident of this place at one
time, had owned some property and
was regular winter visitor.
This mans remarks suggest the
giving of some facts concerning the
town which will not only disprove the
accuracy of his statements but will
show conclusively that Punta Gorda
has made really substantial progress
ever since it became a settlement
about 80 years ago.
The U. S. census reports show that
Punta Gorda has grown from 262 in
1880 to 1926 in 1920. That is not
a phenomenal growth, but it has been
steady growth. Here are the fig
ures:

improve while others spend their
time bellyaching and let their prop
erty go to the dogs"
There are two trains leaving here
every day and the roads are in pass
able shape, the Commercial Club has
a knockers transportation fund and
will pay the railroad fare of knockers
or provide other transportation to the
county line, SO there is really no ex-
cuse for anyone staying here if they
do not like the place.

Survival of the Fittest

Many infant industries have been
fostered by subsidies of one kind or
another and have been artifically
nurtured until they became firmly es-
tablished upon the scale necessary in
the countries in which they were To-
Gated, but so far no incubator has
been devised for nurturing a news
paper. In that field it is the brutal
law of the survival of the f1ttest when
strong competition is forced.

over 1000 newspapers have given up
the ghost since costs began climbing,

Some people can't stand little
bit of hard times" We know a
man who, during the flush times that
are now no more, was always bright
and cheerful on all occasions and was
a great booster for everything and
everybody. He's just the opposite
now. To all outward appearances,
the whole world is wrong so far as
he is concerned-and it's said he
gives his wife and family h for
breakfast nearly every morning.

people while it brings out of others

The weather bureau is not worth

table growers of this section. Here
they have been on the ragged edge"
for the past three days, with clouds
and winds indicating cold weather, if
not freeze, and not a word came
from the weather bureau to allay
their apprehension or warn them to
take protective measures. Shipping
interests are duly warned of the ap-
proach of storms, but the interests of
truckers and fruit growers are given
