Florida Attractions.

Mr.. G. Herb Palm has written for the
Courier Informant, of Barlow, Fla,
an article succinctly setting forth the
magnificent opportunities of Florida
for the homeseeker, whether he de-
sires to make a living in the fisheries
in agriculture or in manufacturing in
dustries. He says to the prospective
homeseeker:
you wish to fill the soil and have
no capital at once to invest; come to
Florida. A few days work will give
you what you need. To him who has
capital and wishes TO invest it prof.
tably. The land of flowers is being
rapidly developed and her industries
will give you what you desire. To the
professional man, come also. The pro-
fessions are not crowded here, and
those who practice them are prospe
rous. To him who is sick and broken
I'M health, the warm winters and cool
summers, the bright skies and glorious
climate of Florida will cause you to re-
gain what you have lost, and more. To
him who is wealthy and seeks the
pleasure OF life, come also. The pleas
ure grounds of this state are famous
,the world over Magnificent hotels
Receive you. classic scenery will de-
light your senses, quaint legends of
'Oid CASTLE will interest you, and you
will be benefited by the experience.

colleges are here. the work for all that
want it, and pleasant environments all
the while"

Washington, Jan. New Years
Day was observed at the White House
today with all the traditional briIli-
ance of the Presidents receptian.
Crisp, sunshiny weather brought out
crowds, and by actual count 9,052 peo-
pie shook the Presidents hand. Last
year 7,115 were received. Mrs. Roose-
welt remained until the end of the re-
ception. A feature of the public recep-
ton was the large number of child
rem who passed the receiving line.
Miss Roosevelt and Mr.. Longworth
mingled with the guests in the east
room, Miss Roosevelt wore a gown of
slate blue chiffon over pink silk, cut
low. She also wore a diamond neck
lace and pendant and a huge bunch

Like George Washington Governor
5roward G Cannos Tell a Lie.

That usually fair and just paper, the
Live Oak Democrat, in a recent issue
said:
I'VE have not been able to make up
our mind that in Governor Broward s
widely quoted words that cer tain
newspaI ers are selling their editorials
for so riush an inch he had reference
10 any reputable journal in Florida.
When he said these words the Cover
nor was attending u Justify tic m >
tiyes and methods Of the board of par
dons and as he didn't call names and
consequently incur,ci no risk ii Was 4
cheap and easy way to lift that much
of the burden Of public condemnation
from the board of pardons. The gov
ernOr's reckless charg ge L. ,ntilI',. -
no consideration for it is supported by
no testimony ahI We. have no r'as.,p
to believe that there is a trace of
truth in 1.-THE board of pardons has
been criticised because honest newspa-
per men concerned for the cause of
law ana order in tlp.,Ia and tnc pun
ishment Of crime, believed that board
was not pursuing the right policy in
so often obstructirg tins cjqise of JUS
tice by extending clemency to convict
ed criminals. That is all ri,rre Is = it."
The Herald is really surprised to
read such an expression in a paper
of such standing. The Democrat can
hardly :ean to seriously say that Gov
ernor I oward, of Florida. has at any
time be n guilty of such conduct as
would J. AXE it necessary for his word
to be supported by other testimony.
If Governor Broward has ever been
convicted of fabricating. the Democrat
should hasten to state to the public
when and how. There is no more hon
orable, upright man in Florida than
Governor Broward. He is serious in
al of his statements and actions and
therefore it seems to the Herald that
it is a gross injustice to him for any
paper of reputable standing to make
such a statement as that contained
in the Democrat.
The Herald is no special supporter
of the board of pardons, but when it
finds anything in the conduct of that
board which needs criticism, we shall
be fair enough not to criticise the per-
sonnel of the board but p tt,:'; the
law which is totally responsible. If
the law were not guilty, there would
be no cause for complaint. The fact
that the board of pardons discharges
its duty as allowed by law is no reason
why the board should be attacked, for
the law is responsible for whatever
is done.
their opposition to the acts of the
board should not loose sight of the
fact. nor make shortcomings of the
law the medium through which indi-
viduals can be attacked or an excuse
for saying such things about the gov
ernor as that expressed by the Demo-
crat.
The Herald can hardly believe that
the Democrat really meant what it has
said about Governor Broward. for to
take the article in its true meaning,
one is to believe that the Democrat
will not take a direct statement from
the governor without it is supported
by other evidence The Herald does
not believe that there is a paper or a
man in the state who can point TO a
private or official act of Gov. Brow
ards which would indicate that he has
ever been untruthful, and therefore no
one can justly accuse him.-Tampa

A Pretty But True Description of a
Florida Girl.

Figure it out on a rose leaf and
write with the brew of lily that no
where under the great blue dome is
there a creature half so pretty as a
Florida woman. She is prettier than
an evening star in the shadow of a
summer sunset, more inspiring than a
thousand songs. and as bewitching as
a fawn tangled in the veins of wild
erness of roses. She's our hope, our
romance. our vine, our fig tree-the
light which enables us to see millions
Of miles beyond the North Star.-Tam-

THE VEGETABLE WIZARD.
AS Big Benefactor as Edison-Has
Evolved Many New Vegetables.


In the Country Calendar a writer
gives some of the exploits of Mr.. Luth-
er Burbank, the great California plant
breeder. Says he:
For S5 years Mr.. Burbank has been
at work creating new forms of plant
life and improving old ones. In that
time he has created by breeding and
selection more than $500 distinct spe-
cies of plants. Some of his creations
are the Primus berry, a plant un-
known before, made by the union of a
blackberry and a raspberry, which un-
ION scientific men said was impossi-
BILE; also the white blackberry, very
beautiful, with a delicate flavor; the
phenomenal berry, similar creation,
is cross between a raspberry and the
California dewberry, having the color
of raspberry, with the shape of a
blackberry, but larger than either, far
more productive and with a flavor sur
passing both; the plumcot, result of
tile union between plum and an ap-
ricot, of rare flavor and richness, again
disproving the dictum of the scien-
lists; a plum with no pit, and the
flavor Of Bartlett pear; a walnut so
thin of she'll that the birds could pick
through it, afterward bred backward
along the path it had come, until a
shell Of the required thickness was Sc
cured.
He has produced a new thornless
castus, a combination of many other
varieties, which bears a fruit, too, for
man and beast, and which will redeem
the waste places of the earth.
These are a few of the marvellous
things he has DONE"
What a magnificent benefactor of
his race is Mr.. Luther Burbank
And there are endless opportunities
before such a creator of new fruits
and food products, because it is mostly
an unworked field, and every new
pie'4iN iiC Ih'Ptioc1NSS - G'ooCiltIilly IL
new creation.
1t has been a long time ago, but
l can recolIect when people had to
educate themselves to eat tomatoes
When tomato vines grew on the out
side it was said that hogs would not
eat the fruit. Just think of what has
been accomplished in the cultivation
of the tomato!
a more popular garden vegetable it
is impossible to find and there are
scores of varieties and every year
brings forward a superior new one. A
table without tomatoes in summer
speaks loudly of the laziness of in
efficiency of the owner thereof. Just
remember, if you please what an ar
ticIe of commerce the tomato furnish
es in fresh fruit and later the canned
product!
When Mr.. Burbank's history is writ
ten he will rank along with THOMAS
Edison, who has made such unexam-
pied progress on other lines .Sf inven-
ton. The United States p1ay well
glory in the fame of these two great
minds.-Mrs. w. H. Feltoh in Atlanta

Shortly before IL o'clock the Presi-

the military and naval aides to the
President and the several White House
ladies, all in special full dress, des-
cended the marble stairway leading
from the second floor. Entering the
blue room, they took up their position
to the right Of the door leading from
the red room. The first to wish them
a happy new year were the Vice -Presi-
dent and Mrs. Fairbanks, who passed
behind the receiving line, and stood
to the right of Mrs. Roosevelt. Next
came Secretary and Mrs. Root, and the
remaining members of the Cabinet,
who went behind the receiving line.

loss of the case for Lake City. Now
it il stated that the case will be taken
to The United States Supreme Court
