LAND OF SUNSHINE.
o. p. Moore Writes From Florida
Is Pleasantly Located.
ST.. PETERSBURG. Fla. Jan. ID.

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA, Jan. 10, 1907.
EDITOR THE REGISTER: Having been
repeatedly asked by number of your
subscribers to send an article to you, re.
lating to our trip from Middlebury to
Florida, and some of the wonders of the
sunny south, l will endeavor in the near
future, with your permission to do so.
We arrived at st. Petersburg on
Thanksgiving day the Goth of Nov. after
trip of eight days from home, tired and
hungry, and was conducted from the
station to the Ansonia Hotel, where we
found plenty TO eat, nice clean rooms
a new and up-to-date southern hotel.
St. Petersburg is city of four thous-
and inhabitants, and will entertain du
ring the winter about six thousand
northern tourists from nearly all of the
States north of Florida. 1t has nearly a
score of beautiful hotels, overlooking
Tampa Bay, one of the grandest sheets
of salt water | ever saw. 1t has three
wharves that extend nearly half mile
out into the bay, also city dock where
small boats deposit their cargoes for the
city The city is beautifully located on
the west of Tampa Bay sloping directly
to the east, so that every morning we
can see the sun rise right out of the
water, (and by the way there has not
been cloudy day since we stepped upon
the shores of Florida.)
st. Petersburg is laid out similar to
New York, in streets and avenues, the
streets running north and south and the
avenues east and west, the main avenue
beginning at the bay and running to 18th
street, and called Central avenue. On
this avenue the principal business houses
are located, and the other avenues are
numbered from one to nine on the north
side, and one to nine on the south side,
being called by their numbers avenues
north and sonth; are 100 feet wide. The
streets are numbered from the bay, and
are called from Central avenue, 1st street
north, and 1st south and so on to 18th
street, these streets are from 80 to 100
feet wide, so the city is all in large blocks,
with alleys for the back yards running
the whole length of the city. They have
a water and sewerage system nearly com
pleted all over the city. The city is only
few years old, and growing rapidly,
200 houses being built the last year. We
are located on the corner of Central ave-
nue. and 4th street north, electric cars
passing by every half hour, with the
postoffice Just across the street, and
churches on either side one-half a block
from us. Will write about the country
and the climate later. Yours,
O. p. MOORE.

His wife and son so dear
Whom he willingly toiled for,
And loved as his own life.
Oh God. how mysterious
And how strange are thy ways,
To take from us this loved one,
In the best of his days,
When we leave this world of care,
We shall find our loved one
In our Fathers mansion fair.

yesterday heard from Mrs. Aulai Steven
son, wife of the former vice president,
the humane side Of the race suicide
argument.
There is no thoughtful woman in
America said Mrs. Stevenson, who has
not been more than startled by the appeal
for larger families. While this appeal
has been most urgent do not recall that
there has been one word in reference to
the health or life Of the mother. nor has
the ability of the mother physically, men,
tally, morally spiritually or financially
to rear children been touched upon.
''rhe question should not be how many
children. but their condition and what
kind of citizens they will Lake. The plea
that some thought should be given I'd
prolonging the life of the mother and thus
protect the babes should occupy first
place in the work of the mother clubs
