BUSINESS IN MIDDLE
WEST ON THE MEND.

Omaha, Neb, Jan. 26.-The Oma-
ha Bee published today the first of a
series of articles by Paul Greer staff
correspondent, sent on a tour of the
State to investigate economic condi-
tions. It follows:
@tThe East doesn't understand the
situation in the West The impress
sion that this great midland is broke
is entirely false Residents of our
own Middle Western cities either
don't understand the solid financial
foundation of agricultural regions or
else they incline their eyes only to
the weak spots and are blind to the
strong factors that surely are max
ing for new prosperity ~
An Omaha business man just yester
day remarked that Nebraska is all
dressed up, but that he could not tell
whether it was for q dance or fun
eral.
This was the send-oh on a tour of
this State, designed to find out the
actual conditions in the farming COM
munities and their trading centers.
What will be found cannot be pre-
dicted fully at this stage of the jour
|nsy. This much, however, is plain,
that the business situation is taking
on a new, healthy color. Banks in
many sections are making loans to
farmers and merchants more gener-
la1ly than in a score of months.
Money is being made by feeding corn
to hogs and cattle and in dairying
Good times are considered assured
after the next harvest, but with the
growth of diversified farming great
deal of money already is flowing back
steadily to rural communities.
That the turn has come, was the
unqualified declaration of H. s.
Freeman Vice President of the First
National Bank of Lincoln. Banks
here are preparing to resume the
buying of commercial paper. The i'm
portance of this lies in the fact thai

buying market with new strength

MISS UNA CARPENTER OF
HAWAIIAN COMPANY DIED
FROM FEARFUL BURNS

Considerable Local interest will be
attached to the news that appears in
a recent issue of The st. Augustine
Evening Record which says that a
news dispatch from Poughkeepsie, N.
~, last week, carried in some of the
larger papers of the country, told Of
the death of Miss Una Carpenter,
leading woman in Hawaiian musical
comedy company, from the effect Of
burns received at Kingston, n. Y,
when her costume, made largely of
straw, caught fire.
Lester Smith, her leading man on
the stage and her fiance in private
life, had just reached his lines:
"If she cant go with me, I'll stay
and burn with her." when he heard
a scream from her dressing ROOM
He ran from the stage and found
Miss Carpenter enveloped in flames,
which he quickly extinguished, but
not before she had been fatally
burned.
Many Lakeland people will remem-
Der Miss Carpenter as the star per-
former in "A Night in Honolulu"
which played here twice at the Au-
ditorium during the season just past.
The company as a whole did not
make an especially favorable impress
sion, but Miss Carpenters work as
the Hawaiian dancer was remarkable,

FLoRlDA's FRIENDLY TOWNS
(St. Petersburg Times.)

Up in jacksonville there is the Florida Me
tropolis.
Hidden away in one corner Of the building
housing that newspaper is little room and in
that lit lie room there's young man pounding
away at typewriter. Rarely are the men writing
for the larger newspapers known to their readers.
Perhaps few of the readers of the editorial page
OF the Metropolis know Al Harris.
Yet Al grinds out his column after column Of
in .erestng and instructive editorials day by day.
He's an honest sort of a chap with a lappy, bright
viewpoint Never does he slip away into the vim
dictiye, scurrilous, knocking style
He belongs to the upift crowd-to which he has
elected The Times a member. And The Times is
proud to be numbered alongside Of AL and the
Metropolis in the work OF trying 20 make the
world brighter and happier
AIS latest idea is one to which The Times has
subscribed for many years-that OF making Flor
IDA state of friendly cities. At the close OF a
long, but intensely happy and interesting discus
sion OF the subjec-, AL writes
Florida, Il state where friendly towns abound.
What finer advertisement could the state build
for ITSELF to say nothing OF the genuine satisac-
ton the widespread presence Of these towns
would afford the home folks?
r owns SMILE towns talk; towns make friends;
towns make enemleS-JuSt as human beings no.
Ii therefore becomes the duty of every town
that has visions of becoming great to smile in
the most pleasant sort of way, to ak construc-
lively and intelgently possible, to make friends
at every opportunity and to make enemies only
when it is absolutely necessary Enemies some
times are as worth while assets friends. 1t all
depends upon the issue involved
1t is pleasant topic for speculation, this idea
of friendly towns. The more one considers it the
appealing it is; for, after all, the finer dis
plays OF cooperation and mutual advancement are
conceived and perpetuated in friendship.
We would like to organization formed
to be known as the Florida League of Friendly
Towns. Eliminate politics and business competi-
ton; base membership entirely upon good viii.
