H. B. BRADDOCK
LIKES FLORIDA

FLORIDA is veritable garden of
flowers" stated H. B. Brad6ock. am
old time resident of the Outlook
country, who has just returned from
Auburndale, Florida, March 18th, to
go back to farming wheat, at least
for this summer. "It is a paradise
on earth, and in spite of the recent
slump in its inflated property, is
really place worth living in" he
told the News reporter.
SIR. Braddock left Outlook last
November to tend his citrus grove of
10 acres which he has purchased at
Auburndale, and came back with a
Studebaker car as far as Crosby, N.
ID. There he encountered impossible
roads and had to make the rest of
the way via train. The distance be-
tween Florida and st. Cloud, Mime
sofa, he made in six days, showing
in what excellent condition the roads
through the Southern States are in.
His wife remained at Auburndale,
where he intends to make his future
home as soon as he is able to dispose
of his property in Sheridan County.
He first came to Sheridan County in
1909 from Florida where he had iiv-
ed for % years. He had heard much
of the great wheat lands of the north,
and since coming here remained un-
til 1925 when he went South to visit
his old friends who were all "sitting
pretty" now because of the enormous
increase in the value of lands.
Florida" he says, "has now
reached the bottom of its deflation.
People are beginning to buy and buy
strong. And prices are not as high
as some people would have you think.
Around the Ridge country, which is
in the central part of Florida, the
land is high and dry, and one can buy
good citrus groves that are bearing
fruit at $1,000 an acre. There is much
wild land which is fine for fruit trees
selling at from $4,000 to $4,000 an
acre. If this is purchased in large
tracts, some land can be had at $1,000
an acre. This is all high, dry land,
as the citrus trees can thrive only in
this kind of soil. The greatest in
flation of real estate took place
around the coast where residences
and summer resorts thrive. The cit
ras and fruit tree land prices are
stable, and have always been so. But
fruit lands are not the only kinds OF
land there. Pineapple plantations
and berry farms as well as sugar
rice and potato fields are found all
thruout the state. Crescent City is
the center Of the fruit land district
Some Of he best potatoes, which sell
at SIS a barrel in winter are grown
around old st. Augustine.
Some people have the impression
that Florida fruits are more sour
than those from California. This is
not so. When citrus fruits first be-
gan to be raised in Florida some of
the grove owners being greedy for
money picked the fruit when it was
green and colored the oranges. Now
this is against the law and fruits
must pass a certain acid test before
they can be packed. Frost does not
do as must damage 90 Florida fruits
as has been reported. The coldest
day we had this winter, and that was
unusual, was when the Thermometer
registered 26 above zero. In order
to kill leaves or the fruit or the
trees this weather must last for sew
eral hours and whenever it does it is

ELEMENTS OF POLITICAL EDU-
CATION
Continued from last Week.

Continued from last Week.
g. WHAT SIGNIFICANCE FOR COMMUNISM
HAVE THESE TWO FUNDAMENTAL
LAWS: THE LAW OF THE EXPLOTTA-
TION OF THE LABOR POWER OF THE
PROLETARIAT AND THE LAW OF ANAR-
CHY AND COMPETITION BETWEEN
CAPITALISTS?
Communism, studying the constant operations
of these two chiefs laws, establishes as a result
of this Study the fundamental deep contradictions
which are undermining and tearing apart capital
ism from within.
The exploitation of labor power forms the basis
Of the continually growing and sharpening strug-
gle of the working class against the mastery of
the capitalists and capitalism.
On the other hand, the anarchy and competition
between capitalists for the market, lead to the
insensate expenditure and destruction of the pro-
ductive forces of society, and in the measure of
the strengthening of this struggle and its devas-
tating consequences (crises, war, etc. they lead
to the disintegration and smash-up of capitalism
and to the necessity of its substitution by the new
system-Communism
Before reaching this condition of downfall and
ruin however, capitalism passes through series
of stages, in which the productive forces for the
first time in the history of mankind attain a
most powerful growth by virtue of the develop
ment Of exactly these fundamental factors-ex-
ploitation of the working class, and competition
which later lead to the inevitable crash
Z. WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF
THE ANARCY AND COMPETITION IN
HERENT IN THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM?

months ago in a general request that
LABOR be gwen representation OH all

Who will be recommended by Green
to Coolidge for this appointment is
by no means easy to guess. G1een

confident of long delay.
Smclair's appeal rests 'on the claim
that the senate committee investigat-

no right to question MIN as to his
dealing In the Teapot Dome affair.
The federal supreme court recently

But at the White House, the State
