MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION NEEDS TO
TAKE A HAND
With the sudden slacking of business op
portunities, due to the decilne of the cotton
prices, the Retail Merchants Association
should begin a campaign of trade extension
that would in part or fully overcome the loss
of trade from our local territory. An active
campaign, worked out along proven lines, will
produce the desired result in which all mer
chants would share in full accordance to their
own special effort behind the project. No use
in letting 2 temporary local condition cause
any serious loss or concern for the future.
Fitzgerald and its contingent territory is so
well established and its institutions on such a
firm footing that we are well prepared to make
an active and successful drive for new business
from territory reached by auto. A city’s trade
territory is only limited to the distance within
a two-hour driving distance from your attrac
tion and thif will get us about in the center of
one hundred thousand prospective customers,
either for merchandise or amusement.
Let’'s 70 after them!
WILL THE FARMER LEARN THE LESSON?
The disastrous condition of the cotton sit
uation may force a marketing system that
average good years have failed to accomplish.
For years the opportunity has been at hand
for cotton farmers to co-operate in marketing
their cotton in an orderly way, but only a
small per cent of the growers have taken ad
vantage of it. Due to this small percentage of
pooled cotton the full benefit.of co-operative
marketing was not reached, the unorganized
cotton, seventy-five per cent of the crop, being
available by the manufacturer, domestic and
foraign. !
With fair prices prevailing the independent
grower was averse to binding himself to a
period of years to deliver his cotton to an asso
ciation, believing that the prices would keep
up and that what benefit the co-ops may be to
the grower, would accrue to the independent
farmer as well as to the organized, willing to
reap where he didn’t sow.
Conditions, however, have arisen which are
threatening thé destruction of the entire cot
ton belt, especially in those states which rely
on commercial fe_rtilizer, an expense that is
saved to the growers in the largest cotton
growing area—Texas and Oklahoma. Cotton
is selling far below the price of production of
the states that use commercial fertilizer and
no remedy is at hand to stem the tide, save a
complete organization of the cotton into the
co-operative marketing association. The sys
tem has the full approval of the Government,
which has and is furnishing sufficient funds
per bale to protect the distress of the grower,
and with its low cost of operation, its well or
ganized selling forces and the low insurance
charges, the cotton grower in the organization
will be able to weather the storm, and through
orderly marketing of his share of the crop,
may come out fairly well, even with the indi
“cation of a bumper crop.
We have in the past advocated co-operation
of the farmer, organizing his product, as in
dustry has organized its labor units, and thus
share in a measure in the establishing of a
more or less fixed market condition. Without
organization, as it is now well shown, the cot
‘ton farmer is helpless. -1g
: . AN.ENGLISHMAN'’S TRIBUTE
An Englishman who had traveled widely
.and studied his subject, wrote a history of the
world’s oil industry from prehistoric times. In
the introduction to his work he paid this trib
ute to America’s part in the creation of the
industry: _
‘“This volume is an Englishman’s tribute to
the engineering skill and resource and bold fi
nancial enterprise of the world’s most splen
did race of oil men—those who have built up
thc American part of the industry. Today
they and their country are absolutely supreme
in ¢il.”
In all the array of activities that have made
our nation the richest, and in material ways
the most fortunate among the races of men,
the industry of petroleum is the most complete
ly and characteristically American.
s o SRR
It seems that there is something illogical in
expecting a doctar to cure or prevent illness,
while at the same time his income is increased
only when people are ill and stay ill.
e i e
But thus is life. Today we are here, tomor
row in eternity. Today we build structures
nofrble for their beauty, or remarkable for
the indusury they represent, and tomorrow
they are gone.
OUT ON THE RUkal ROUTES
Posimaster General New paid a very pretty
compliment recently to the rural letter car
riers when he addressed the convention of the
National Letter Carriers’ association.
“The rural free delivery postal service,” he
said, “is one of the indispensable features of
American social and economic life.”
We all know it, of course. Of late years the
radio has grown as a link between farm and
city, but the radio goes one way mostly and
the letter carrier still takes the farmers’ mes
sage to his friends and the outside world.
Then again, radio fails to bring the warm,
personal touch that the rural carrier conveys.
Most of these men are an accommodating and
kindly lot, and are couriers for local news and
along their routes. In th elittle world of rural
folk, the carrier is the bond of common knowl
edge. Day after day, in all sorts of weather,
he plays a vital part in rural community life.
A WORD TO MOTORISTS
The re-opening of sthools throughout the
country has taken place and with it there are
coming into notice an increased number of ac
dents to children, through being struck by mo
tor cars.
All motorists must exercise the greatest
care not to injure children. Their lives and
limbs are invaluable. If they seem to act care
lessly and heedlessly, let the motorist use ex
tra care to offset that carelessness. The child
mind does not and cannot function in the pre
cautionary way that an adult’s can. Its judg
ment as to distance and speed are often
wrong. So when the little ones are crossing
the street, or highway, just slow up the old
machine until you are certain there cannot be
any chance for an accident.
QUAIL WORTH $1 A PAIR TO FARMER
We have frequently referred in these col
umns to the value of the birds to the farmer
in destroying insects. The Florida Times-
Union carries a leading editorial recently on
the same line, quoting Mr. Wickes Wambolt,
authority on bird life, who says in part:
Every pair of quail is worth a dollar a year on a
farm to the man who operates that farm.
To eat?
Yes, to eat. To eat the weed seeds and the bad
bugs. The quail is one the best little weed seed
and bad bug eaters you ever saw. A covey of
quail to every five acres of land would reduce the
insect and weed problem to a minimum.
The quail has no bad habits. He doesn’t harm
anything that the farmer wants. He doesn’t even
intrude his personality. Every noise he makes is
subdued and pleasant.
He doesn’t come fussing around the house,
tramping on the roof like a drove of horses,
squawking, squalling under the eaves and defacing
buildings. He attends strictly to his own affairs.
He stays in the farmer’s fields—and he stays there
all the vear round. He doesn’t go South in the
winter and North in the summer. Three hundred
and sixty-five days in the year he is at home and on
the job, hunting and scratching for insects and
weed seeds. The quail is a scratching bird like
the chicken and the turkey. When he can’t see
what he wants on the surface he digs for it.
These are the reasons why a pair of quail is
worth a dollar a year to the farm where they live.
And a pair of quail will raise from ten to fifteen
more pairs of quail every summer—which are also '
worth one dollar per pair per year to the farmer.
A RECORD OF EFFICIENT OPERATION
The condition of prosperity revealed by
twenty leading railways of the United States
for first half of 1926 should not inspire agita
tion for general rate reductions. |
The gross earnings reported show very lit-'
tle increase over last year’s figures. The net
operating revenues, however, show a much
greater percentage of increase. This appar-}
ently proves great progress in efficiency of
service and economy of operation. The rail
roads of America have been working toward
this end ever since the period of governmental
control. Millions of new capital has been in
vested in rolling stock, motive power, addi
‘tional trackage and modern terminal facilities.
‘Because of these investments, the American
tpublic probably is getting the best service it
' ever received.
In 1925, the rate of return was only 4.83 per
cent for the whole country. This is much be
‘low the 5.76 per cent which the Interstate
‘Commerce Commission has held to be a fair
| return. . .
i Growth of the country’s commerce means a
fconstant demand for transportation improve
' ments, and the railroads must be in a position
‘to finance these improvements economically.
This they cannot do if their credit be impaired,
'and eredit naturally is based upon earning ca
' pacity.—From the Louisville, Ky., Courier
-1 Journal.
! e e
' It is a peculiar fact that we pay taxes to
'teach children the use of good English and
!then give them the colored supplements with
‘everybody talking the language of ignorance
'and the back alleys to help that education.
" Of all despicable creatures which inhabit
gthe earth, the owner of the gossiping tongue,
' given to spreading scandal, is generally con
xsidered by people of intelligence, good morals
iand honesty as the most despicable.

Post Card Barrage
This is postcard week in Florida.
Thousands of post cards are being re
ceived in all parts of the world pic
turing beauty spots of Florida, a plan
of advertisement established six years
ago by the Florida Development
Board. To start off the scheme a
loving cup was offered that city or
community who in 1921 mailed out
the largest number of cards accord
ing to population. Fort Myers,
Cleremont and Davenport were the
successive winners, with Davenport‘
gaining permanent possession of the
cup by winning it the last three years
consecutively. Now Lake Worth
Chamber of Commerce is offering a
new one as a state prize. ‘
Milk for Flerida
Visitors in Florida are surprised
when they learn that the cities of
southeast Florida are getting their
sweet milk from Wisconsin. The
query arises, “Why from such a dis
tance?” Surely there are cows and
ample pasturage for herds in states
nearer by. The solution of selling
sweet milk like that of selling Cali
fornia fruit in Florida and all inter
vening states is one that in involves
a perfect marketing and shipping Sys
tem, such as Georgia for instance has
not yet developed. However, a plan
is on foot in Thomasville now to send
from their county daily a car load of
milk to Jacksonville. Should the
plan develop successfully adjoining
counties using Thomasville as the
point of concentr:ticn might be
drawn into the buzitc o of selling
milk to Florida.
The Universal Language
Music is the one form of expres
sion that is universal. It has been
considered an art, a science, a rici
tal stimulant because of the higher
quality of work that music students
show in other studies compared with
those who have not taken music as a
study, and latest of its attributes is
named its remedial effect on the sick.
Music is positively used as a treat
ment in 36 hospitals in the United
States as reported at a convention
of the American Hospital association
—woating this week in Atlantic City.'
The melody, the rhythm and attirac
tiv ewords are declared to be healing
iactors. Experiments from many
vears.-back reveal that the Barcarolle
from Hoffman’s Tales of Love is the
best healing tune. Both the Vie
trola and radio are used by dentists|
with great benefit. ?
:“The House That Ruth Built”
' This name is applied to the huge
Yankee stadium where the New York
Americans make their home. It is
‘the largest baseball plant in the
country, or maybe the world.
The stadium is built on a ten-acre
plot just north of the Harlem river,
with the amphiteatre a triple-decked
steel affair and together with the
bleachers will hold 65,000 persons.
This week the crowds are being turn
ed away 'by the ‘thousands' after
standing space is taken. The night
before the World series opened hun
dreds spent the night before the gates
for an early rush for tickest. Three
hours before the game was called
there were 12,000 people seated
waiting. The playing field is built
with a drainage system that even the
heaviest rain cannot put out of ser
ivee for more than a few hours. The
grand stands have concrete floors.
The eost was $3,000,000. |

| The argument made is that the
death penalty has never been a de
terrent to crime, and states having
'the death penalty record more

DODGE BROTHERS, INC.,
ANNOUNCE IMPROVED |
LINE OF MOTOR CARS,
Increased quietress and -smooth
ness of operation are credited to cer
tain improvements which = Dodge
Brothers, Inc., have just announced
as having been recently incorporated
in their entire line of motor cars.
“In addition to the improvements
inside the engine which afford greater
silence of operation,” says Mr. T. M.
Walden, “other engine refinements
have been made to reduce wear on
moving parts, thereby prolonging its
life. This, of course, makes need of
adjustments or replacements less fre
‘quent and materially reduces operat
ing cost.
“In line with Dodge Brothers well
known policy of constant improve
ment without yearly models,” Mr.
Walden continued, ‘‘refinements are
constantly being made, each being
adopted just as soon as exhaustive
tests have proved beyond doubt that
;the change will improve the perform
ance and increase the value of the
car.
| “Widespread public endorsement
of Dodge Brothers policy of refining
a well known, well tried basic design
was clearly shown by retail delivery
records made ~during July. «July is
accepted as a month of few retail
sales by many makers of cars who
customarily announce next year’s an
nual models late in the summer. Dur
ing July this year Dodge Brothers
dealers in the United States sold
nearly as many cars as during the
best month in the heigh tof the spring
selling season.
“Announcement after announce

ers of their 1927 models, frequently
involving radical changes in construc
tion or appecarance or both, has re
sulted in increased interest in the
nature of changes made in Dodge
Brothers product. HEBLIE
