But the idea of advancing the
rent three or four times the normal
price is already bringing com-
plaints. not only from the new-
comers who are seeking places to
stay, but from business men who
want to impress the newcomers
that Gainesville is a pleasant place
to live, and our people are not in-
terested solely ip making every
possible dime out of them.
Furthermore, if the word gets
around to the prospective residents,
as it undoubtedly will, that prices
generally are too high, then many
people who might come to Gaines-
ville to live, will find lodging in
nearby towns. r
Even then, it is probable that
town will not be able to absorb all
the workers brought here by .the
camp project. But we think our
people would rather receive a lair
price for the use of their property,
and maintain the goodwill of the
newcomers, than make them an-
tagonistic and possibly bring about

TUESDAY’S ELECTION
TNUESDAY’S ELECTION closes one of
1 the quietest periods of its sort in Gaines-
ville’s history. Several factors are in-
volved in this state of affairs. One is the
nation’s involvement in war and a lack of
popular appeal for a spirited political cam-
paign. Another and important factor is
that there is no apparent reason for
Gainesville to want a general change in
rity government at this time, more espe-
cially with the increasing problems that
| are facing the city council by reason of
the coming of an army cantonment.
Mayor Lanius has been a hard working
‘and progressive mayor. He has at all
times conducted the office to the best in-
terest of the community. Many problems of
great importance have been faced in the
past two years. They have all been met,
and in most cases solved to the benefit of
a growing city.
, The war has added greatly to the duties
of the council and the municipal govern-
ment as a whole. Everybody concerned,
according th’ unbiased observation, has
been conscientious and honest in his ef-
forts to render a good accounting of his
political stewardship. Gainesville owes a
• debt of gratitude to Aidermen Lanius,
Webb and Murphy for their consent to be
returned to office and give two more years
of their services to the city, at a time
when the welfare of their private business
affairs calls for more attention than usual.
Sight should not be lost of the fact that
they serve the city without financial
' recompense.

a willingly, but she brushed past
him and stood for a moment look-
ing swiftly about her. Then she
saw Randy. He was at the rou-
lette table, bending his dark hand-
some head above a woman who sat
there with a stack of chips before
her
The woman was blonde; her eve-
ning gown was smart and very be-
. coming. And as she lifted her
face, laughing up act Randy, a cold
hand seemed to close suddenly
I about Melissa’s quivering heart
i and squeeze it until every drop of
warm, life-giving blood congealed.
For the woman above whom
Randy bent with such devoted in-
terest and admiration was Dolores.
As though the shock and pain
and distress deep within her had
called to him, Randy straightened
and looked at Melissa. Across the
crowded room their, eyes met and
held. Melissa saw him say some-
thing to Dolores, and she saw the
lovely blonde head turn and heard
Dolores’ laugh, which was tri-
umphant and derisive and which
lashed at the younger girl. And
then Randy came swiftly across
the floor to Melissa, his face set
and stern, his eyes cold.
“I thought I told you to stay
out of the game room,” he said
harshly, and took her by the el-
bow, turning her about, guiding
her toward the door.
"I’m sorry,” Melissa stammered
faintly. "But I wanted terribly to
see you—”
' "Was it so important it couldn’t
wait?” asked Randy as he guided
her down the stairs to the moon-
swept deck.
"I thought it was,” said Mellisa
shakily. And then she cried out
sharply, .“Oh, Randy, Randy—why
are you hurting me so? What hap-
pened this afternoon isn’t impor-
tant—not to me—”
-"It's important to me,” said
Rand grimly, “It opened my eyes
to a lot of things. Fve been doing
some pretty tall thinking ever
since. I’m afraid there’s been
some unpleasant gossip going the
rounds about you and Jimmy Mar-
ston.
Melissa caught her breath, star-
ing up at him, wide-eyed, white-
faced. “But I told you, darting,
about Honey Stevens’ visit—what
she told me—”
“I know, but only you and
Honey Stevens know that. .May-
be it is the truth — I wouldn’t
know,” answered Randy grimly.
“The point is that to the general
public, as much of it as is repre-
sented by the people who come
here, who are our customers, who
pay the expenses of the River
Queen—you’re a soulless, brazen
little hussy who drove a fine young
fellow to his death. And they
seem to want no part of you.”
Melissa stood with her slim back
against the rail, her mittened
hands outstretched on either side,
clenched about the wood so that
the frail, delicate lace mesh of her
mitts was strained to the breaking
point She couldn’t'manage words;
speech was beyond her. That - „ . +, , a,

She cauglxt her breath on a
little sob. Happy! She'd never be
happy again! She’d never know
joy and delight and gladness
again. Her heart was broken.
That was what that awful pain
there meant—
Randy said suddenly, harshly,
“Well, don't just stand there. Say
something, can't you?”
“There — there’s not much to
say, is there?” whispered Melissa
piteously.
Randy stood very still, almost
rigid for a moment and then he
said roughly. “FU find Beasley
and tell him you’ve changed your
mind.”
Melissa turned, her shoulders
sagging a little, one hand pressed
hard above her aching, fright-
ened, bewildered heart, and crept,
like a sorely wounded animal, to
her stateroom.
It was all over: the lovely
dream of love; the perfect idyll
toward which her every thought
and emotion had been turned
since that black night on the
Point when she had found Randy
on th path and had helped him
to the cabin.

“That familiar feature of the urban
scene in Texas, the parking meter, is be-
ing installed in more and more cities else-
where, according to a recent, survey, but
still lacks much of coming into general
use. A total of 36 0 American cities,
mostly, in the 25,000 to 50,000 population
group, have installed meters, the number
having increased by about 140 in the past
15 months. In 88 cities, penny meters are
in use. Lawton, we believe, is the nearest
city here abouts to have that bargain de-
vice.
“Among the country’s larger cities, Buf-

THE SAVING FUND OF THE NATION
TN A LETTER to the New York Times,
1 Gustav Stopler, an economist with an
international reputation, has this to say of
the policy of “soaking corporations” with
excessive taxes: “These taxes cut entirely
into the saving fund of the nation. By
thus cutting the reserves of American in-
dustry we may create ghastly conse-
quences for the day when we shall have to
face the post-war problems. By that time
America will have a huge industry with

He has held the office of city attorney,
also that of county judge.
L. V. Henry, Jr., who was running for
his second term as city recorder, unop-
| posed, resigned last Saturday morning,
having accepted appointment for the unex-
pired term of justice of the peace, Pre-
cinct No. 1. His name appears on the city’s
printed ballot, it being too late to have
new ballots prepared. Voters will be ex-
pected to scratch Mr. Henry’s name and
write instead the name of their choice for
city recorder. A campaign was started
last Saturday by friends of Gregg C. Pow-
ell to secure his election by “write-in.” Mr.
Powell finished a close second in a four-
corhered race for city recorder two years
ago and political observers are asserting
that, in view of this showing, he holds an
edge in tomorrow’s ection.

people are artring too much for
rent houses, apartments and rooms.
. Weare enrrfidrnt that those whg
are asking exhorbitant prices are
very much in the minority. And we
are hopeful that it is not with the
idea of taking advantage of pros-
pective renters that such prices
have been quoted. We like to think
that it is merely ignorance of the
situation. 9
Some of the prices we have heard
quoted, would indicate that a few
property owners think their pros-
pective renters are millionaires—
only millionaires would not pay
such prices, not because they could
not afford to spend the money, but
because they don’t like the idea of
being gypped any more than other
people do.

WE WONDER IF THOSE who
are quoting exceptionally high
prices for rent property, take into
consideration that many of the
persons who come to Gainesville
to be employed in connection with
the army camp, make no more
money than many salaried people
in Gainesville.
We fear that our people have
heard tales of high prices paid
skilled artisans working on army
camps, and are of the opinion that
any one brought to town by the
army camp activity has money to
pay any price for lodging.
But even the highly paid arti-
sans don't get rich on the jobs
they have in army camp construc-
tion. They may work one week and
