HENRY AVER Is
BROUGHT HERE
CHARGED WITH DRIVING
AUTOMOBILE WHILE UNDER
INFLUENCE OF LIQUOR

Henry Aver, who was caught
while driving a ear and under the
influence of liquor, was an arrival
on the ferry last evening follow
ing his arrest by Deputy Sheriff
Raymond Maloney, of Tavernier.
Yesterday afternoon the
sheriff's office was advised by
Mr. Maloney of the arrest. He
said that Aver was so tight that
he had stalled his car on the bridge
and stopped traffic. He was to
be placed on the ferry and sent to
No Name Key, and it was re-
quested that a member of the
sheriff's force meet the boat,
take the prisoner and place him
in county Jail.
Deputy Sheriff Ray Elwood
was assigned to the duty, and up
on meeting the ferry on arrival at
No Name, secured him, brought
him to the city and he was placed
in county Jail to await action of
the court.

FEW POLL TAXES
ARE BEING PAID
BUT NINE HAD PAID UP TO
ELEVEN THIRTY O'CLOCK
THIS MORNING

Tax Collector Frank H. Laid
said this morning that up to 1880
O'Clock the total number of poll
taxes paid was nine, which show
ed, for the time being, that lit
tie interest is being taken in the
city election of November 8.
OF course, there is lots of time
to pay poll taxes, as the law pro-
vides that payment may be made
up to and including October 20,
but in former years there
were many paid before this period,
and that is what leads to the
conclusion that with only nine
paid at this time, interest is lack
ing.

ECONOMIC HICHLICHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual; Ma
tiOnal and international Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

Even as agriculture is depend
ent on industry to absorb the
products of the farm, so is the
urban United States vitality de-
pendent on rural, farming Amer
lea to provide a gigantic market
for the products of its fac
tories-everything from pins to
motor cars.
AS result, it is as important
to industry and finance as to
agricultural America itself to
have some reasonably accurate
idea of what farm income in the
immediate future will be; what
change, if any, has occurred in
farm operating costs that would
affect net income; what farming
states will be the most prosperous
and so constitute the largest and
most profitable market for manu-
featured goods, etc. Business
Week has recently made highly
inclusive report on 1.-THE Farm
Market Today-and Tomorrow.
This will be the best agricul-
tural year, from the point of
view of gross income, since
booming 1929. This does not
mean that the agricultural situa-
ton is lastly improved in every
phase-some crops will command
lower prices and in some states
improvement has been relatively
slight. But, looking at agricul-
ture as a whole, 1887 should pro-
duce the first really good farm
market of eight years.
The farmers cash income from
crop and livestock marketing is
estimated at S4,75O, 100000 for
the period from August / to JAN
Gary /, 1858, as compared with
81, 375, 100000 in the same period
a year ago, a gain of about s
per cent. This figure does not
include Federal benefits which
will be approximately 10 per cent
of the farmers total cash income
and will probably come to almost
5000, 100000 as against $685.
100000 in the comparable period
of 1855. Consequently, total
gross farm cash income win not
be far from $4,000. 900, 900 in the
six-months Period.
Other factors beside higher in
come viii exert a beneficial in
fluence on agricultural purchas-
ing power. The farm mortgage
debt is about one and three
quarters billions less than it was
in 1929 Interest rates have reg
istered a decline and the carrying
charge of this debt is now about
40O.00o,000. as against $780,
000.O 900 in 1929. The 1887 farm
tax bill viii be more than $3.50.
100000 under 1929 and farm
wages. though they have shown
a 20 percent rise in the past
year and a half, are one-third less
than in 1929.
Taking al advantages into con-
sideration. the amount Of cash
the farmers will have to SPEND
