OUTLOOK FOR 1910

Each year a government survey is
made in an effort to forecast the probable
trend of agriculture, industry, finance and
business in general. A report making such
a forecast for 1910 was made public last
week, and some of the conclusions reached
are as follows:
1. Everything considered, it seems
likely that 1910 will be a moderately bet
ter year for business than 1889.
2. The net effect of the war will be
favorable to American business, but this
will be felt very gradually.
3. Aside from the war, the i'm
mediate domestic business outlook is IA
vorable, and the present upswing will con-
tinue for several months.
4. decline from the peak of this
upswing may occur some time during next
year, but should not be serious.
These predictions are made'in period
of great uncertainty, and merely represent
the composite opinion of various govern
ment officials, in the light of the best in
formation available. Many things might
happen to change the present outlook, es-
peciaIly in view of the chaotic situation
in Europe.
Stock market actions during the past
month have been rather unsteady. A re-
cent break was mostly recovered. Dips or
generally sinking market induces almost
always reflect business recessions to fol-
low.
The worst thing that could happen,
of course, would be our involvement in the
war, but all classes of our people seem so
determined to stay out of it that we may
tbe able to avoid such disaster.

COUNTY ZONING IMPORTANT

Under an agreement between the
Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District
and the National Park Service the highway
between Lower Matecumbe and Big Pine
Key is to be protected against bad COM
mercial development. Only in certain
areas along the highway may any COM
mercial buildings of any kind be erected.
At ether points only public use facilities
are to be permitted The whole purpose
is to give the tourist chance to observe
the passing scene, without unpleasant in
trusiOn of commercial structures.
When the work being done by the
National Park Service along that portion
of the highway is completed year or two
from now, the roadway between Lower
Matecumbe and Big Pine Key is expected
to be a thing of general beauty. Scenic
values will be retained. Tourist facilities
will be available at points where they do
not clash with the scenery. There will be
restaurants, filling stations, hot dog stands
and advertising signs at only certain points
They won't be strung out along the entire
highway.
AS The Citizen has pointed out be-
fore, Monroe county commission should
explore the possibility of setting up zoning
regulations for that portion of the high
way controlled by the county. Now is the
time to halt erection of unsightly and OBJ
jectionable buildings along the entire road
way. This can be done by zoning, as
pointed out by Mrs. w. L. Lawton, chair
man of the National Roadside Council, in
a dispatch in The Citizen Thursday relat-
ing her statements before the joint session
of the Recreation and Planning Confer
ences at Hollywood
She states that California has demon
strated that counties and the state can
protect the appearance of their roadside
through coming. On main roads business
activities are confined to the true business
centers; the type of architecture is con-
trolled in unincorporated areas and the
number and size of signs are strictly
limited.
What California has done, Florida
can do; what other counties elsewhere
have done, Monroe county can do. The
county commission would be serving the
city and county by studying the zoning
plans of other counties and by putting
some kind of regulations into effect No
one need argue that zoning penalize prop
erty owners wishing to put up proper. COM
mercial buildings or proper signs at desig-
mated points along the highway. What
should be protested is bad construction, a
constant succession of signs along the en-
tire highway. That belongs to all of the
people of every county in the United
States.
Make the entire length of Overseas
Highway more attractive and you make
Key West more prosperous.

Sunday School Lesson

So, the Christian intermingles
with the unbeliever, but the
fruit OF lives will reveal the true
nature of each.
The activity of Christian forces
should affect both sinner and
saint, every effort must be made
to reach all and include all, not
withstanding many will be found
useless and of no account. The
Parallels of the Net explains the
process. All fish within the
range of the seine are caught,
some serviceable, others not, but
in the analogy we see the process
of differentiation being carried
out, at the end of the sweep, lei
surely, and discriminatory. In
both of these parallels the final
judgment is not passed by men
neither the farmer nor the fish
erman, but by angels, spiritual
beings.
Jesus was engaged in world
program for all time, yet the be-
ginning of his movement was ex-
tremely modest, even insignific-
ant compared to its final goal.
The Parable of the Mustard Seed
was to prevent disparagement of
"a small beginning. The external
growth of the church is exempli-
fled by the mustard tree, spring
ing and growing from a very
small seed. From a few men, with
no organization, the Christian
faith has grown to include $780,
100000 people, one-third of the
worlds population-a far-off goal
to the twelve moderately trained
apostles upon whose efforts the
future so largely depended.
No eye can follow the growth
of the mustard tree, and the in
visible growth of the Christian
faith is typified in the Parable of
the Leaven, which works out of
sight, but which gradually per-
meates the whole bread. With
germs of life from another world
the leaven, by contact and inter-
mingling, alters and transforms
the larger mass surrounding. So
with Christian living, its steady,
quiet, Irresistible influence con-
quers. There is no necessity for
Iproclaiming its nature, for it
will. accomplish its mission slow
ly. inevitably, sand without ques-
ton. This is reassuring to the
faithful adherent of the king
dom.
In the parable of the Hidden
Treasure and the Pearl of Great
Price, Jesus emphasized the
paramount value of membership
in the kingdom. While the
Treasure was found by chance
and the pearl only as a result of
diligent, intelligent endeavor, in
both cases each finder fully real
lied that the find was worth all
that he possessed. In each case
1t required all that the finder
had to gain the coveted prize. So
today, we should seek to know
the best, to work for the best.
and surrender all lesser things
for the best.
The apostles answered Jesus
inquiry and professed to grasp
what his teaching meant. So they
were told, if so, they should be
able to bring forth treasure new
and old. In other words. they
were not confined to traditional
conceptions, that divine truth
came in continually progressive
discoveries. adaptable to the
ability and capacity of each man
and age to comprehend.
