pineapple crop is also said to be uIf-
usually heavy. Apalachicola affor0S
the point for some enterprising man
who will invest in the crate manu-
featuring business, and the first man
on the ground will reap the greater
benefit.-Apalachic Times.
Money in Potatoes.
A Massachusetts man is reported
to have come to Florida, raised a po-
tato crop on thirty-fve acres Of
ground, sold the same for a net profit
Of $1,000, and is intending to raise
another crop Of some other staple on
the same ground before this year is
up. This other crop is expected to
make his net proceeds equa! to 1920
per acre. That looks like a pretty
good proposition and while not one
man in ten will have the combined
good sense and good luck to equal it,,
most everybody can approximate
closely enough to it to make good
and easy money.-Tampa Times.
Bryan in 1908.
Will w. J. Bryan again be can
Gidate for president in 1908? That
gentleman was in Egypt last week
and in reply to a question asked him
said that he is satisfied that the
things / have been fighting for are
growing" but that he will mot do
anything to secure another nomina-
ton and does not want it unless cir
cumstances seem to demand it." 1t
is certainly true that the things for
which he fought are growing and
from this distance it seems not IN
likely that circumstances will demand
that he again lead the democratic
hosts.-Madison New Enterprise.
Center Of Population.
The center of population in the
United States has steadily moved
westward along the 38th parallel,
never getting more than a few min
utes north or south of it. 1t is now
near Columbus, Ind, SIG miles west
of where it was in 171O, it then be-
ing % miles east of Baltimore. The
center of the negro population is at
Rome, Ca, and moving toward the
Gulf.-Gainesville Elevator.
Advertising Pays.
Fully fifty per cent of the Florida
publications have either reproduced
The Tropical Suns write-up of the
proposed reclamation Of land and
building of roads near West Palm
Beach or commented favOrably on
the scheme. Each of these publica-
tons has, besides its local circulation
a foreign circulation Of more or less
magnitude. In fact it can be safely
estimated that hundreds of news
papers have gone into every state in
the Union telling the story of West.
Palm Beach and her latest develop
ment scheme. And yet. when a news
paper man approaches some business
men and solicits advertising he will
be met with the answer, 20, it doesnJ
pay."-Wiest Palm Beach Sun.
For Chicken FancierS.
A Lake Helen lady mas discovered
that if the leaves of camphor trees
are put in hens nests there will bel
no vermin abiding therein and i'll
COopS of little chicks are set under
camphor trees the insects that tor
ture little chickens in Florida will not
modest them. Those who have tried
the poultry business have an easy
remedy at hand for many of its per-
plexities if they will plant camphor
trees.-St. Augustine Record.
A Great Opportunity.
There are $225.OOO,OOO invested in
cotton mills in the Southern states
and not a dollar Of this stupenduous
sum in Florida. And to make curl
humiliation greater ours is the ONLY
state in the cotton producing beltl
without such a mill. What an oppnr-
tunity for capital.-Live Oak Demo
