Five of the stars are receding from US

What to Read.

Read on some one subject that inter
ests you apart from your daily task.
Let your reading carry you into this
new field. from which you may return
refreshed to your appointed labor or
with thoughts which may occupy your
mind while your hands are engaged
with your work, for many of the
routine tasks which demand no new
knowledge or skill may be saved from
dullness and dreariness by the accom-
pGniment Of pleasant thoughts. Lucy

perS on the walls Of long room in
which she was employed in the mill,

her routine snatched a thought to ac-
company her. Bird lovers have made
birds their companions, learning to

PENSACOLA FLORIDA TUESDAY MORNING, MAY IA, 1907.

greater records in the near future.
They have been gained through the
following different policies.
Some railroads have lands of their
own which have been disposed of to
settlers of their own seeking or to
agents working in cooperation with
them Other roads, not landholders,
have directed the newcomers to avail
able homes within their territory, and
yet other roads have combined indus
trial upbuilding with agricultural de-
yelopment. They have carried on a
campaign in this country and in for
eign parts by means OF the wide
spread circulation of literature de-
scriptive of the advantages Of the
south and it's opportunities for the in
dustrious and thrifty, of exhibits of
southern agricultural and mineral
products and of personal contact with
heads of families who would better
their condition in life.
Estimating the value of a man to
the community at at least $4,000, the
additions to the south's wealth in one
year through the energies of immigra-
ton agents of the railroads may be
safely placed at S400, 900 or about
one-third of the increase of its wealth
in goods and chattels during the
same period. These additions mean
much greater rate of increase for
the south in material things in the fu-
ture and an acceleration of the move
ment of population from other parts
of the country to the south.
The above forms an interesting
study and particularly so Just at this
time when our Florida legislature is
in session and the question of immi-
grafton is up. A matter of 100000
new settlers in one year is something
worth looking at, but the pertinent
question now is:
How many of them did Florida get?
Florida is the largest of all of the
southern states, with the most produc-
tive soil. the most equable climate,
the most natural advantages, the
cheapest land, and the largest num-
Der of vacant acres. Now if two hun
dred thousand people came south and
settled here last year, how many of
them did Florida get and if she didn't |
get her share why didn't she?
The proposition and the question /
are respectively referred to the au-
gust assemblage at Tallahassee whom I
the people have entrusted with the re- |
sponsibility of seeing that Florida |
gets her share of all the good things |
that are going round. We hope they
will prove worthy of the trust.
With the legislature still in session,
the st. Augustine Record is worrying
over the bathing suit for the summer
now about to strike us. Why have
any at all? Is not beauty, unadorn-
ed, adorned the most?"-Lake City In
