4 PUBLIC BENEFIT

Government figures prove beyond
dispute that business revival is
marked-but by business revival is
meant manufacturing and produc-
ton. Retail trade has not yet
caugh, up. Close analysis of this
situation discloses that the retailers
have Jagged because they have failed
to put into the minds of the people
have reached the bottom and that
better times are at hand. 1t is
amazing how few retail merchants in
the smaller towns realize the value
of educational advertising. They are
so close to the picture they fail to
see its perspective. They look for
the immediate dollar and in grasp
ing at the shadow they miss the sub
stance The value OF advertising is
cumulative. Indeed, that is its
greatest worth. Eastman has actu-
ally advertised the word camera out
of the dictionary and advertised the
trademarked name Kodak into the
dictionary.
The day of misleading advertising
has passed The public has come to
see advertising in the light of news,
and il is news. The merchant who
advertises tells his story frankly to
the public, knowing he will be check
ed up and counting investigation of
his statements and prices. The ad-
vertisement of today is not the sub
ject of suspicion. 1t is the mer-
chant who is afraid to tell his story
over his signature that the public re-
CARDS with doubt, and properly so.
The boom in retail trade awaits
only a little thought on the part of
the merchant, plus the fundamental
knowledge that advertising is an in
vestment and not an expense and a
duty owed to the public whose sup
port is sought. The whole business
structure of the nation depends on
advertising. Increased b n
means greater production, lower first
cost. a larger turnover. increased
buying and consequently provides a
saving TO the buying public. The
public should support merchants who
advertise because they are the con-
structive force that helps to keep
costs down.

the people have intelligent under.
standing. Most of our troubles come
from imperfect knowledge and con-
sequent lack of interest in public
questions. For years this has been
the case with the American farmer
whose situation aud importance until
lately has not been even measurably
sensed. As soon as the people gen.
orally in the great cities as well as
in the smaller communities come to
realize how much of the nation
prosperity depends on the farm then
the wheels of reform will begin to
turn with rapidly, and all the people
will benefit
Almost half our population is ru-
raj, living on six and one-half mill
lions of farms which employ approx
mately thirteen millions of workers.
The value of the annual production of
these men is $40, 6,015, 1000, which
is greater than that of mining or
of any branch of manufacturing.
What a sad commentary it is upon
our legislative intelligence when we
realize that in spite of these stupen-
dous and important figures, the in
come of each farm factory or farm
mine, whichever way we choose to
visualize it, averages only S2.793.
The province of government is to |
create prosperity, the greatest good |
for the greatest number, to harmon
ize the laws under which we live so !
that reward shall come to the people .
in relation to their service. There !
are between the City Hall in New
York and the Battery Wall-a dis
lance that can be walked in ten min
thousands of high binders in
the world of speculation who have
never done an honest days work in
their lives, but who make often in
a day and quite frequently in a week
as much if not more than the average |
farmer makes in a year. 1t is get
ting time for the public not only TO !
seek info, nation regarding the far
mer, but to insist upon having it.
When this demand is. felt the infor-
nation will be forthcoming, and |
when it is, equitable legislation for !
the farmer will lead a business de-
velopment the like of which this !
country, great as ii is, has never !
known.

You and Your City

Do you owe your city anything
If you do. pay it. You may have
paid your taxes, your house rent,
your water bills and your church as
sossment, and in doing so you may
think you have liquidated all claims
there are against you; but there are
others that need your attention. Is
your city thrifty? Arc the streets
clean, well paved and well lighted :?
Is there a systematic effort TO make
your city beautiful? What about
your park and its shrubbery? Are
your houses neatly painted, the lawns
weIl-kept, the alleys free from litter
and refuse, and are the people con-
tented and happy? If they are not,
and the surroundings are not as
clean and beautiful as they should
be, your debt to your city has not
been paid, for you have neglected to
raise your voice for a better and a
higher standard of municipal econo-
my. Think it over, fellow citizens.
We all owe it to ourselves and our
city to make our environments as
beautiful and sanitary as possible,
not only for our own good but for
the benefit of our city in which we
live and raise our families.-Coying-

There are few with vision, how
ever. Go into the country, travel
miles across the prairie and nestled
away. probably by the side of a small
lake or within a clump of trees, you
will find the home of these. His
small territory is being made to
bloom as the rose. He has a small
grove. His poultry yard is well
stocked and he has everything neces-
sary to support life at his door. An
infrequent trip to town supplies the
few things he is unable to grow in
the fertile Florida soil.
This man and his family are
pioneers. Some day their dreams
will come true. Hard-surfaced roads
will lead past their doors and the
daily mail will bring them the news
of the world outside. They will al
so, by the same means, be placed in
easier com munication with their

lies of their own, there will be no

idle and useless except as feeding
ground for scrawny. wild cattle, and |
Florida will be dcirE what the West |
once did-feeding the world.
1T will not be grains, but vege-
tables, plentiful when other parts of
he country need them most; fruits,
berries and other things that the ,
public cannot get along without.

hard work will be done by only one

women who are willing to help them.

The WOrld-Builder

The man of vision is the world
the palmetto scrub and changes the
wilderness into smiling farms, who
builds good roads and bridges, de-
velops the country and makes pros
porous cities possible. He covers
the country with steel bands to carry
his products to distant markets. He
sees the country, not as it is today,
but as it will be ten or twenty years
later. and he bends every energy to
the accomplishment of his purpose,
to make his dreams come true. The
DeSoto County News has some live
and vigorous thoughts on this sub
ject. which we give below:
Vision is the greatest thing in
the world.
IF some one had not had vision
there would be no cities. These
cities would have no electric lights,
no trolley cars, no automobiles, no
telephones. No wireless would bridge
the oceans in few seconds No
great ships would plow the waters.
Pioneers who went into the vast
Wilderness of the American West
encountered Indians. huge herds of
buffalo. wolves and rattlesnakes.
But they had vision. They saw great
fields of waving corn and knew that
a hungry world would be fed from
those wild prairies. They saw or
chards, roads, schools, comfortable
homes and thriving towns. These
things they saw not as of their day
but for the comfort and well being
of their children and their children's
children.
There are those who today see in
Florida nothing but great tracts OF
sand and marsh land. They believe
nothing that is not actually before
their eyes. They cannot see that
what comes to pass in the West of
sixty years ago is coming to pass in
Florida now.

One fellow said the early bird
catches the worm and the other fell
low said the worm was a fool for
getting up in the morning. Maybe
they're both right. It's funny how
things exactly opposite are often ex-
actly the same. It's as cold at the
south pole as it is at the north pole,
if you can believe what the explorers
say, and nobody seems to doubt
them. Hustle little harder, do a
bit more than the other fellow. some
folks say, and then others say that's
a scheme of the rich to get the poor
to work more for less. OF course,
if everybody followed the plan there
wouldn't be anything to it, but whats
the use of living in a theoretical
world when we have a real thing
with us every day? Maybe doing the
thing we have to do thoroughly is
the best bet. There's so few people
delivering the goods nowadays that
an honest days work is a curiosity
Also it's an asset.

Some 22-caliber short people won

christ for senator. it being generally

We supported him becuse We believ-

would be a credit TO Punta Gorda and
Charlotte county. and because he
claims this as his home. Regardless
of the fact that he spends most of

that his heart stays in Punta Gorda,

SEC'Y HUGHES SAYS
NOTHING SECRET In
TREATY NEGOTIATIONS

Washington, March 11.-Secretary
of State Hughes in a letter today to
Senator Underwood, Democratic SEN
ate leader and arms conference dele
gate, took occasion to characterize in
timations that the delegates were in
duced to accept some plan cunningly
contrived by others opposed to Amer
ican interests as very poor and er-
roneou5 conception of the work in con-
nection with the conference"
The secretary added that the
immensity of the International course
precluded the informal and confiden.
tial suggestions and conversations in.
cident to the negotiations but he as.
cured the senate that full disclosure
of everything said or done would re.
veal nothing derogatory to the part
taken by the American delegates. He
asserted it would show no considera.
tion or acceptance of any position
not entirely consistent with the ira.
ditional policies of the American gov.
ernment.
The four-power pact itself requires
no commentary, the secretary said,
adding that no ingenuity in argument
or hostile criticism can add to it or
make it's engagement better than its
equivocal language sets forth" There
are no secret notes of UNDERSTANDINGS,
he asserted.
