On the evening Of the twenty-n NTH E,
reception was given at East Hall to

Our girls are finding their college
life crowded with much hard work,
yet not to the exclusion of all pleas

and surrounding city could be seen,
proved an interesting diversion after
a week OF close study.
The opening Of the new gymnasium
was marked by Halloween party.
College songs and yells, music and
fortune-t telling, characterized the
delightful event.
( An enthusiastic meeting of the
Athletic Association has been held in
Chapel Hall, for the organization Of
out door games, to be taken part in by
the students.
One Of the greatest educative forces
in the institution is large and care
fully selected library.
The Y. w. G. A. assemblies regularly

Great interest is shown in domestic

lovers Of true art. Miss Abernethy is

NEARLY A QUARTER MILLION
Dollars Are Paia Ty Capt. Mckay For
Cattle


Punta Gorda Herald: Some time
since The Herald published state
mcnt from Capt James Mckay, Of
Tampa, owner Of the Mckay Steam
ship Line, showing the total number
Of cattle which he had bought and
shipped from DeSoto county to Cuba
and the amount paid for them. Since
then, Capt. Mckay has kindly fur
nished The Herald with an additional
statement showing the grand total Of
all shipped from DeSoto, Lee and
Manatce counties The statement
covers the period from April % to
October 10 and shows the total ship
ments Of all kinds OF cattle to have
been l7,7e2 for which was paid the
handsome sum Of 1924, 545.5O.
OF those shipped If, 7O5 were beeves.
1870 COWS, 32s calves, 4lO2 year olds
and $50 ycarlings
From Makka dock were shipped
46l, which were furnished by T. s.
Knight from Ballast Point, $50, by
II. T. Lykes. The Lee county cattle,
5499, furnished by r. NJ. Lybass, were
shipped from Punta Rassa.
The remaining 1929 were shipped
from Punta Gorda, and with the eY-
ception Of 1 1853 supplied by Messrs.
Lightsey, f. Durrance and Frank
Knight, were furnished from various
stocks by w. II. Hooker, of Area
dia.
One cargo went to Sagua la Grande,
the balance to Havana and Cardenas.
There were thirty-hve cargoes in all,
averaging 5O7 head each.
The first six cargocs went by the
steamship Roanoke. the remainder by
the Gussie.
The foregoing embraces only the
Business handled 10y Capt. Mckay.
Besides this, Capt. w. II. Towles, of
Fort Myers, handled a great deal
moro, supplying the Key West and
othcr.markets, while doubtless many
cattle in small lots were driven or
shipped by rail to Tampa and other
markets ana many more were con-
-umed in the various towns through
out this region.
1t would be n fair estimate, we
think, to place the total amount re-
crjycd during the past summer from
the sale Of cattle In Dcsotu, Lee and
Manatcc counties at S5O).OOJ, OF which
DcSoto received considerably more
than half
The amount Of this business sug-
costs the thought that the cattle
owners could vastly increase their
revenues and prove themselves bcne-
factors OF Florida by erecting at some
central point in this region large
and up-to-date rcfrigcrating plant
for the purpose of supplying fresh f.
beef to the hungry thousands Of our
people.

COL. S. |. WALES.
Interesting story In His Busy Career

about Col. S. I. WALES, who is now a
business visitor to Arcadia:

which request was nothing short Of

Colonel Tielghman is a man Of invent

ground corn or grts or the boiled lye
hominy, proceede ed to create a mill Of
his OWL that operated on the grains
of corn with knives, somewhat as the
knives of cotton gin.
Now, this new process Of Colonel
Tielghman not only removed the skin
or covering from the grain but cuts it
up in particles, so when the hominy is
boiled for nine hours it is ready to
make the finest griddle cakes that ever
tickled the human palate. So delicious
are these cakes when properly baked
that Colonel Wales, when he spoke OF
them to a leading Chicago caterer, the
latter was so impressed with the de-
scription of them that he asked for the
material and recipe to make them.
He was supplied, and now this Chi
cago caterer, who runs nine Of the
leading restaurants Of the Windy City,
has two 'hominy cake days in week
in all of his restaurants, and although
they are the highest priced lunch
dishes on his counters, they draw
thousands and it is almost impossible
to meet the demand on these days.

MUCH BENEFIT
TO THE STATE
FAIR WILL ATTRACT
SETTLERS TO FLORIDA
VISITORS WILL LEARN
OF GREAT RESOURCES

The great Florida State Fair opened
at Tampa Wednesday with a record
breaking attendance, in spite Of which
everybody was well taken care Of.
owing to the systematic work carried
on by the Bureau Of Information. No
trouble will be experienced in this
regard through the Fair.
Governor Broward conducted the
opening exercises, assisted by many
OF the prominent men OF Florida.
The features Of the day were two
grand parades in the morning, and
reception and banquet to the news
paper editors and legislators Of Flori-
da, held at the famous Tampa BAY
Hotel at night.
Over thirty counties are represented
by exhibits at the Fair a larger num-
b,r than have ever been represented
at a southern State Fair before.
Tampa Times; The holding Of the
State Fair but marks the beginning Of
the most prosperous winter season
ever experienced in South Florids.
Many thousands Of people will come to
see this section for the first time. A
large proportion of them will carefully
inspect its business advantages and
opportunities, with the result that they
Will locate and become permanent citi-
zens. Many others will place their
money here for investment, and the
profits they will draw therefrom will
be a great advertisements for this Sec
ton.
More especially will the agricultural
districts receive an impetus Of devel-
opment. Men who have hitherto re-
garded Florida as a sandy desert in ali
respects save that it is covered by veg.
citation will undcceiye themselves hy
what they note at the Fair in the way
of exhibits Of farm, garden and grove
products. They will learn that they
can buy land here for mere fraction
Of what it costs elsewhere, that with
less cash capital and easier work they
can gain larger money returns.
More groves will change hands and
more new farms will be opened in
South Florida within the next twelve
months than in any two years Of pre-
yious history. Increase in population,
production and wealth will be the reg
ular and uninterrupted order Of the
day. Live stock culture will expert
encc an intelligent and soundly based
expansion, due to the demonstrations
made Of its possibilities at the State
fair.
The fact that every condition OF
stock breeding is superior in Florida TO
any other State will be so completely
established and so universally accepted
as to amount to complete revolution
of public opinion on the subject. The
successful combination OF all these
facts and factors will start Florida on
a steady march to her proper place as
a producer of wealth along the most
substantial and permanent lines by
which wealth is achieved.
