NO TIME TO SPARE

Politicians in Key West, so far as the
city election, three months away, is con-
cerned, are standing on the sidelnes, wait
ing for the "other fellow. to announce his
candidacy.
Thus far, aside from members of the
commission, nobody has announced his can
.didaey for the November election.
Two years ago, at this time, more than
s2O aspirants for city commission had an
nounced formally, and before the closing
date for filling, 81 we've in the field.
Probably, this election the number
of candidates will be far smaller. That
il merely an assumption. because one never
can tell what may happen in an election
campaign 1t requires only the entrance
of two or three men to start fever
among those Key Westers who are inclined
to run for public office.
Make your announcement now. That
is good advice for any Key Wester who
intends to run for the cemmissin Waiting
for the ''other fellow" to make the first
move is poor politics. Be amng the lead
ers, not the followers, in a political con-
test. Any seasoned politician will tell you
that is good advice
AS usual, the men in office are the
first to announce, though there is at least
one Key Wester, who will enter the Demo-
cratic primary next May, who declared, as
long as two years ago, he would oppose
Sheriff Sawyer or course, that was too
LONG before election day to reveal paner-
ally ones decision to run for office. 1t
puts the man in office con notice" and,
naturally, as has been in the case of Sher-
if Sawyer, he begins campaigning quietly
earlier than he would have done other
wise.
But it is different i nthe matter of the
city commission. A candidate has no time
to spare if he intends to make thorough
canvass for that office.

IS OUR FIRM FOUNDATION

In this year 1947 there has been ire
mendous progress on the farms. The area
of the average American farm has grown
nearly one-tenth in the past five years,
from 174 acres in 1910 to more than 200
acres UP to date. More than 100000
farms are receiving electric service. The
old methods of blowing the fields with
horses and doing most of the hard jobs of
farming by hack-breaking human labor
has udergone tremendous changes.
Every part Of the country where there
IS good soil has been enriched, large areas
by conservation methods carried on by the
National Government.
Our farmers have automobiles and
farm machinery, and good highways exist
everywhere Electric refrigerators. milk
ing machines, washing machines, radios,
new furniture and all kinds of modern
improvements exists in all parts of our
country.
One correspondent writing from Iowa
says that everywhere farmers are out
Painting their barns, repairing and enlarg-
ing their corn cribs, cattle sheds and chick
EN- houses.
There is no way Of disputing the fact
that, war or no war. progressive farmers
Eare making more money than ever before.
The crops this year will be so large that
there will be huge export of wheat, corn
meat, and dairy products.
1t is impossible to tell just what is
going to happen, but the best authorities
in Washington say that agricultural ex-
ports will be up as much as billion dol
! lars this year.

that is. that Secretary of State Marshall

WHY EUROPE SHOULD SCRATCH DIRT

When the first settlers settled in Vir-
ginia and Massachusetts, they "lived off
the land" They started at scratch. They
caught fish and shot wild game, and while
they ate food brought with them from
England in their ships, they managed
somehow to get maize from the Indians. Tn
less time than has elapsed since the close
of World War n, they were raising their
own crops OH their own ground. Some of
the Europeans might get along if they
tried cut these old plans instead of depend
ing upon this full-grown United States to
feed them.
