Speculation as to what will happen to
prices in the United States, in the face of
an expected war demand, is already being
heard AS usual, there are those to es-
pouse both sides. Some say prices will
shoot upward Immediately and others say
they will not We don't know.
Warning countries will not produce
normal yields and they will have to buy
abroad but whether they will buy in
volume sufficient to affect the SURPRISES
on hand remains to be seen.
After studying charts on prices OF
wheat, cotton, hogs and other farm prod
ucts for the period of the World War the
experts are not certain that they have any
thing to go by. Changes in world condi-
tons, possible effect of neutrality laws and
the uncertainties of the future leave them
without definite advice to offer farmers ex-
cept to suggest the need of caution in re-
vising existing plans and programs,

One tried to show such skill
Seven then were left.
Seven little motorists, touring in

One failed to dim his lights

One did not see train

Five little motorists, driving in

One skidded on a curve

Four little motorists, coming

One faced about to chat
Then there were three.
Three little motorists, this is sad
but true:
One slumbered from fatigue
Then there were two,
Two little motorists, racing just
for fun;
One passed upon a crest
Then there was one.
One little motorist, though it's
seldom done,
Lit match to gauge his tank
Then there were none.

SCHOOL DAYS AND WAR DAYS

While shrieking sirens abroad herald
the approach of bomb-laden airplanes,
school bells are ringing all over Key West,
Monroe County, Florida and America The
little boys and girls of Poland, Germany,
France, England and other foreign nations
run for their lives into holes when they
hear the sirens shrek. Our boys and girls
spin their tops and romp and play on their
way to comfortable schoolrooms when they
hear the bells ringing.
The little boys and girls of. the United
States are too young to realize their good
luck in having been born here. They are
too young to know anything about bombs
and bullets dropped from the skies by
man-made meteors. They don't know the
full horrors of torn bodies, blasted hopes,
smashed homes, shattered nerves, racking
hunger, cold discomfort and all the other
by-products of war. They are extremely
lucky little boys and girls.
Our Monroe County school teachers
have a grand opportunity confronting them
as school opens. They can make geography
the most interesting subject in the class
room. They can follow with their small
pupils the day to day changes in the geo.
graphy as dictators march their legions
against the democracies. This leads into a
pointed study of Americanism. What is
Americanism? What is the difference be-
tween the American democracy and the
European-type dictatorship?
Our children should be instructed in
these differences. The fact that little boys
and girls in this country do not have to
learn to shoot machine guns or make
bandages as part of their curricula is one
of the differences that should be stressed.
Our little boys and girls are free to come
and go and to play and romp. They can
say just about what they please, do about
what they want to and show whatever
initiative and independence they may pos
sess. They are free little boys and girls,
as long as they obey certain laws and rules
set up for the benefit of the majority.
They come and go because they are free.
They talk and chatter and discuss things
in a machine that grows little boys and
girls to serve the state.
Our Monroe County boys and girls
should be instructed in the fact that AM
erica is founded on the theory that the
government is the servant of the people,
not that the people are the servant of the
government, as they are in the totalitarian
countries.
Our Monroe County teachers have a
grave responsibility. While teaching the
advantages and benefits enjoyed under our
form of government, they must urge strict
neutrality as between the present warning
nations. AS yet we have not been drawn
into that conflict. Until we are, if we are,
our boys and girls should be informed as to
the right and wrong of current events, but
must be warned to walk a safe middle
course, free from entanglements that may
plunge this nation into foul conflict

Another daily paper has suspended

Another daily paper has suspended
publication. The Portland News Telegram,
