FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1937 __________ HELPING BOYS “No man stands so straight as when he stoops to help a boy.” With so many million of men out of work it is such an easy matter'to become careless and pay no attention to boys. Men are doubly busy with the affairs of business and trying to figure out how they can live up to their codes. Worrying details occupy one’s mind. Yet, all about us, are boys who need help—the help that comes from encouraging words, a helping hand, a little boost. All these helpful things take just a minute of any man’s time—and yet they mean so much to a boy. It does not take long for a boy to grow and develop into a man. It may be that what we say today will have a big influence on what kind of a man he will be. Are we doing the thing: that will help the boy? Just a cordial word of greeting in the morning as the boy is on his way to school will frequently give the lad just the needed encouragement for that particular day. Do we do that ? Can we truthfully say that we have been the means and channel by which a boy gets inspiration to do better things. There is so much we can do in boys work without ever having to take any time to do it. Most men are willing to do this if they only realized ho^v easily it can be done. “ No man stands so straight as when he stoops to help a boy.” ! “ THE FOOL AND HIS M O N E Y !” A cheap price doesn’t always constitute a bargain. That is as true of securities as it is of shoes or anything else; And there is grave danger in the increasing activity in “ penny” stocks, according to Charles R. Gay, President of the New York Exchange: •“ I don't like the looks of the recent flurry in stocks selling for a few dollars a'share,” Mr. Gay said. “ That kind of activ­ ity . . . may mean the uninformed person is coming into the market— and that is a matter for concern. “ Many stock buyers never seem to have got over the idea that a stock is a bargain just because its price, is low. I can’t stress too much the plain fact that ju.st because a stock is selling at,a low price is no guarantee .it is cheap. A stock can be selling as low as $2 and still be the dearest security in the country. Make no mistake about it : The rightminded people in Wall Street don’t want to see the public rushing into secuiv ities without first finding out what they’re buying.” This is a very timely warning, in view of the greatly in­ creased activity in securities of all types and prices. There may be “ penny” stocks which will prove, in time, to be good pur­ chases, but these are unquestionably in the minority, and should be closely investigated. - The stock exchange, of their own volition, and-..-w.ith._th.e_ assistance of .Federal laws, have made it possible for anyone to secure authentic information about securities he plans to buy. Wise investors-—whether they have a hundred dollars or a million dollars to invest—always carefully investigate. The fool and his money are easily parted and no laws or sound advice seem able to save them. Dispatches quote Roy Howard, head o f the Scripps-Howard newspapers, a chain owned by interests that own United Press, as saying the Roose­ velt plan to control the conrta should be defeated. This is unusual in view o f the fact that Howard crowded Hearst aoufc o f a bed in the White House, angering Hearst, who bolted his party nominee. Now both Howard and Hearst crack down on the God­ less outfit in Washington. There is no monkey business dowr, south when it comes -to collecting taxes. Florida had her bitter experi­ ence o f a tax strike in the early days of the depression.' I f delinquent three years you get a 15-day. notice. If lot paid, the property is sold to some one who can and must pay the taxes, iboiit the biggest delinquent in the South now is said' to be HOLC, the federal outfit that finds itself owner of thousands o f properties and no funds to. pay taxes or insurance. The HOLC now has 160,000 foreclosure suits in state courts and the- other day a Florida Democratic judge put the HOLC on the spot. He refused a foreclosure ordqr and named a re­ ceiver to collect' rent and pay both taxes and insurance. It was a thrust a t. the- New Deal from a different angle. In some o f the southern cities you can ride for five or ten squares in the new additions and HOLC owns every house. Some o f the property you would not pay the taxes to get .title to ownership.. Here is about all that jo back o f your government bonds if you happen to own any. HARNESSING NATURE i While the turbulent waters of the destructive flood surge on to mingle with those of the Gulf of Mexico, Leaving a million persons, staggering under great loss, there come stories of a disastrous dust storm sweeping the southwest. Thus there is the reminder that puny man, with- all his inventions, contraptions and scheming can at best do but little ' to stay wratby nature, once she gets in a mean frame of mind. He can protect himself only in part against floods. He can’t make it rain until it is good and ready, therefore any attempt at drouth control as it is humorously called is merely a provision to have plenty of drinking water, in case the drouth doesn’t last too long. He has to take the earthquakes as they come, and the only thing, pr at least the most judicious, when a tornado heads his way is to dive into the cellar, and bolt the .door. He can’t prevent frosts killing his fruit, or blasting winds drying it on the trees. In other words he is still at the mercy of nature, with all its whims and caprices, and just, about the time he is congratu­ lating himself that he has' it under control, the darn thing busts loose and kicks him through the side of the barn. f . —State Journal. ' Springtime celebrations ui*e fashion­ able in all .sections o f ,the south. Tampa- this week celebrates “ La Ver­ bena,” a Spanish pageant that is given in the city that makes more cigars than any other city in the world. Sarasota is observing the festival of “ Sara DeSoto,” a fanciful legend o f Hernando DeSoto’s sojourn -in— Florida-.— We understand Sara (-Sally) Rand with out her fan holds the boards down in Miami. A strike among the coal, miners docs not interest the south. Its cither wood from the “ wood yard" or iel oil. •The.coal dealer down in this country deals in wood only. • We no­ tice the miners only want a 30-hour .veek, increased wages, guaranteed employment 200 days a year, and two weeks vacation with pay. ' As John Lewis collects a tribute from each day’s pay o f a union minor,-no time as cash is lost by having a vacation with pay: The miners say they are willing to work six hours a day. eally that is a concession for before .he year is up Roosevelt and Lewis may demand a rocking chair for each so they will not have to stand up to work. -ipkins WPA skinned a mile for waste. When the job is completed then cornea the war between north Florida which wants the canal and Sooth Florida, that is opposing it, Government engineers say the canal with salt water-will riun the pure water source for the lower half o f the state. Jacksonville is fighting for the canal fo r commercial purposes, as a port. The lower state opponents say the canal will only save shippers ninety miles, and the cost does not justify the plan. The economic sav­ ing does not interest Roosevelt if what, residents down below claim.. One gardner and'nurseryman stated that Florida is like a honey-comb and water at times comes up like an artesian well. He sayB the canal would bring salt ocean water to the interior which would kill fresh water fish and destroy millions o f acres of plants that thrive on fresh water. The gardner has resided in Florida for 20 years and formerly resided near Cleveland, O.- We questioned him as to whether -politics had anything to do with his views, when he said he once /as a committeeman in Cuyahoga ounty under Tom L. Johnson, famous democratic leader. We have before us a three column ’ icture taken from the Miami Herald with likenesses o f Gen. William ecumseh Sherman, General U. S. jrant and General Sheridan. Below s a scar iti the wall o f the state house aused by n cannon ball when Sher- nan’s army- shelled Columbia .during he Civil War. -South Carolina and ?eorgia have joined in a protest to the ost Office Deparnient using the like- less o f these three *on three-cent tamps. Sherman may have said, ‘War la Hell” but hell rages .once more and this time it is Southern cmocracy against Yankee Democ­ racy, with big Jim Farley hr the mid­ dle., John A. May; member, of South Carolina legislature stands in the picture pointing to the scar in the state-house wall. -This- contest is dis­ cussed -everywhere and really inter­ ests northern visitors. Georgians down in Florida are numerous ,,, and what they say recalls some interest­ ing things back in the days when the KKK was seeking the throne now oc­ cupied by King Franklin. The stamp issue brings the .question home to Northern Democrats, for the members of the Carolina legislature are from families that lost much or ail their property during the Civil War. The stamp issue gives the South the op­ portunity of expressing its hatred over what took place in the sixties. northern Democrats, whose parents were in the Sherman campaign. It also carrys a famhiar echo of the days when the “ Hooded Boys” paraded over Greene county collecting ten dollar bills to save the nation. The contest is all in the ranks o f Democracy, So we say, “ Let 'em fight, we like to smell the smoke." Postmaster General Farley has ar­ rived in Miami, in - the midst o f the renewal o f the Civil War—postage stamp fight in Georgia and South Carolina. The department finally gives an inch or two but will not stop printing Sherman stamps. To off set the injury he»will issue "Stonewall’’ Jackson and Lee stamps -and both sides can keep up the fight “ licking” For Sale-Wrecking building and used lumber and frame. , Come quick. R.

WARNER, Clerk. .The Miami Bar association wallops the Roosevelt packed court plan and this brings out hotel, beach and side­ walk discussions. A South Carolina lawyer down in St. Petersburg the ’ other day says lawyers should oppose it on the grounds that the “ lawyer” that proposes a packed court never had a job in his life at labor; never had a major case in court; would not know the difference between a justice court in Hyde Park ,and a wayside court in Bramble-bush Inn. His only ^ de-sire, with strong emphasis in the j “ de,” is to control the highest court. i in the country and in this way put his ! thumb on all the other courts. - This j ‘lawyer” probably has his “ college papers but he certainly lacks judicial1 experience. “ If this court is packed our Southern courts will pass under he power of Yankee Socialists, parad- ' ng as Democrats." , The South stands ready to sell * Roosevelt and Wallace hundreds o f ; thousands of acres o f land to be re- • sold to tenants and croppers on lang ■ time payments.' The .southern farm­ ers, mostly gardeners and growers o f all kinds of fruit are not interested in crop insurance, that is those we have talked with. ‘ What Florida wants is crop insurance against frost and tidal waves from the sea. Both have hit this country at some point for a 100 years, but a more suggestion and Roosevelt and Wallace will find a way. Ybu wiii ^recall that Roosevelt's 100 miles of trees from Canada to the Gulf were to stop the sand storms in the West, but one happened just the other day. The Iona sheriff recently sold out the Wallace outfit and we wonder if Uncle Sam, in the hands of he 100 per cent failures, isn’t facing an order o f sale from a bankruptcy court? Florida has her problem as we- get it in contact/ with public and thrpugh the press. Rbosevelt wants a new ship canal cut from Jacksonville across the state to the Gulf o f Mexico. We drove part of this course thrdugh native wood swamp land of white sand. The cost is to be only 169 million says the nation’s play-boy- spender. Five million bps been spent and Congress has refusisd thus far to vote additional funds, j If what has teen done cost five million, It will take 500 or even a 1000 million more to complete the job.
