almost to the State line before they
overlook him. Miss Andrews drove
the car in front of him and finally
forced him into the ditch. Then she
brought the bandit back in her car,
while the sheriff followed with the
car that had been used by the rob-
ber. 1t Is not on record that the
desperate made the least effort to

A visitor from Ohio strayed INTO the office Of the Eye

the newspaper to send to the folks back home and re-
marked Lakeland surely is beautiful city; wonder
if you folks appreciate that fact?'
That gentleman preached sermon to Lakeland peo-
pie in the few words spoken. The text is of course
ancient yet ever applicable to modern conditions and
well be applied to almost any community possessed Of
resident population whose ambition lies in the direction of
the highest development of its civic assets.
AS a general rule Lakeland could answer that ques-
ton in the affirmative because there ample evidences
indicating keen sense of appreciation of all that is best
for the city as a whole and right very large pro-
portion of the population eager TO watch the devel-
opment OF a progressive program under the new city
manager charter soon to be put into effect Lakeland
pleads guilty to the charge of being beautiful city but
at the same time is modestly ready to admit that the
height Of attainment has yet been reached. A kind

The united chamber of commerce made ten strike

launch campaign for the completion of the important
cross-state road connecting Fort Myers and West Palm
Beach via Clewiston. To the members of its
new governors voted last night to concentrate
their efforts to get this highway possible.

cording to plans will be wide and will be
a real road The chamber Of commerce is going about
the work of getting this road in the right manner it
seems to us 1t is asking the American Automobile
socation to send of its expert highway engineers
here to make careful survey OF the road from Fort
Myers to the Lee county line From him it will obtain
specific data to material the cost OF construction,
etc With definite information before it the chamber Of

needed to carry out the project and having got

A week from Thursday there will be a cumulative
motorcade from Fort Myers to CewisOn the pro-
posed crosi-state highway There is nothing more i'm
portant than the completion OF adequate highway
connecting Fort Myers with the east coast
The united chamber OF commerce is not mrendy
to the Tamam trail. 1t wants it built and built
as soon az possible and it is going do what it can to
bring it's uninterrupted construction about But be-
cause of the topography OF the country traversed by

Concerted effort however is now going to be cen
tralized or the Fort Myers-West Palm Beach highway
and no step will be left unturned until the road is
completed.

THREE PER CENT MONEY NOT so EASY
AS 1T LOOKS
Clearwater Sun.

clearwater sum-
The Florida State Banker the public against
form of so-called loan homebuildng contract, that
processes to loan money to homebuilders at three PEI
cent A number OF these companies have applied for
permits TO operate in Florida under the Blue Sky Law,
but in each their applications have been turned
down Some of the promoters OF these companies have
however, undertaken to slip into the state by organizing
local companies
The objection to these companies is that they can
not do what they profess to be able to do. They VIII
probably do what their contract calls them to do
but there is generally wide variance between what
the agent promised to do and the obligations of the
contract.
In the first place the loans not be made in the
limited time claimed by the agent. The contract, OF
course makes definite promises. In the second
place the interest charge average will be found
when everything is counted n to be about six and one
half per cent possibly more but certainly less The
safety of the companies is matter worth considering
There are other features about the contract which
make it an undesirable undertaking when understood
In general may be said that these contracts not
practical and may to be highly unsafe
The sun has spoken of these concerns before and it
is glad to have its opinion OF them backed up by the
Florida State Banker.

an appeal against the recent decision Of the Supreme
Court of Florida which decision in effect authorized
State Comptroller Ernest Amos to proceed with the col

the decision of certain lower courts which had held
the gasoline tax to be invalid Because there involved
in this transaction an amount somewhere in the neigh

Building Concrete Silo|
By j. g.. H4NEY, Agricultural Extension Department
International Harvester Company.

There is perhaps a greater increase
in the use of the concrete for the con-
struction of all kinds of structures
than in any other material. This IS
because it is true that where concrete
is properly used it is the most endur-
ing material known. Where sand and
gravel may be had without too great
a cost, this material viii come to be
used more. and more in place Of the
less durable materials. such as wood
or wood and iron combined.
Concrete Permanent-First Cost Only
Objection
To those who are familiar with the
uses of concrete there can be but one
objection. and that is the first cost.
Where the materials used, especially
sand and gravel. can be obtained with
little trouble, there would undoubtedly
be a justification of a greater use of
this material.
In the construction Of the siio there
a hardly be any other objection than
the first cost Where there have beer-
claims made that the concrete silo did
not satisfactorily preserve the silage,
and that in some cases the silage
would act on the concrete in such a
way as to destroy it, there is little
question but that these objections are
poorly founded. The best evidence of
such being the case is the fact that
there is a very great increase in the
number Of concrete silos being built
and also that there are many concrete
silos that have been in use for a long
time. and are still giving perfect sat
isfaction. As-with other makes of
silos, the objections in most cases are
due to poor construction.
Concrete Sibs May Be Built with
Small Cash Outlay
With the exception of the pit silo,
it is probable that where sand and
aFaiaahle faF the hauling
the concrete silo may be built with as
little cash outlay as any other type of
silo. There is nothing in the work of
building a concrete silo that any care
full person may not do, whether they
have had any considerable experience
