AUTOMOBILE RACES THIS WEEK ON THE
WORLD FAMED ORMOND-DAYTONABE BEACH

created an interest in the races that viii
give the winner distinct supremacy
In motoring in southern waters.
After the motor boat races will come
the first annual regatta at Miami. The
start of the great Flag to Flag motor
boat races Will be made at Miami, FEB
ruary g. and the finish will be beneath
the British flag at Nassau. Preparations
for this event are as elaborate as those
for the reg~aAa on beautiful 4-&.kS WORTH,
and far - significant. International
in character, the Miami races will CON
clude with a reception and regatta at
Nassau. The details where were ar
ranged at Government house by Sir Will
lam Gray-Wison and regatta commit
tee, have already been cabled. The Unlted
States navy will send the Scorpion as es
cort to the races and the navy depart
ment intends making a critical study OF
the work of motor boats in the 16O-mlle
race from Miami to Nassau.
The auto races and the regattas will
have the most brilliant of audiences. The
picture of the club house during the
races will be one of distinctive charm,
because its balconies will be filled with
gay parties who will come ashore from
their house boats and yachts The Cr-
mond is now filled with winter guests and
the cottage colony is being increased
every day.
1t is impossible to do justice to Lake
Worth and Palm Beach, and the thought
of Venetian carnival there on a perfect
Florida night is enough to make people
go mad. As for the view by day from
the Royal Poinciana, 1t will be not UNI
like that pictured by Gautier of the
Grand Canal where he declared the little
boats seemed moored on purpose to pro-
duce effective darq spots on fairgrounds
for the convenience of water colorists.
And drifting from Miami to Nassau
surely nowhere in the world could more
picturesque conditions BE found.
The Royal Palm al Miami, the Colonial
at Nassau arc superb realities in modern
hotel construction and complete the
group of east coast hotels that give SO
much distinction to Florida.

BANKERS GETTING WISE.

west have come to a realization tina,

been serious injury to them, killing

out OF circulation money that should
help swell the local bank deposits and
otherwise interfering with town pro-
gress.

bankers that they failed TO consider

buy a draft for $50 or 800 to send
to Chicago. the banker got his ten

money from being sent from home

WHERE The MERCHANT FAILS.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Hin, Ne Should
Advertise, and How.

An Iowa farmer contributes 10 ths
Dos Moines Capitol the following very
pertinent suggestion as 10 why the
mali order houses succeed In getting
the business OF the rural communities
away from local merchants:
III the mail order houses got 81 900
out OF this county each month that be-.
longs to the home merchants the fault
Is with the merchants themselves The
mail order houses advertise and give
US prices on everything they offer for
sale They tell US what they have
and what they want for Il. or course
We get soaked once In awhile and IL
We do we can try some other house
Most OF the home merchants who ad
vertise at all don't quote prices. They
neglect 10 tell us what We want 10
know-thc price. OF course We can go
to the store and ask the price Of this
article. and that. but you know how
II is-one doesn't know so well exact
ly what he wants TO buy when he gets
In store as when he is al home. And
there is where the mail order houses
make their hit They send us their
advertising matter into homes and we
read 1t when We haven't anything else
TO do and every member OF the family
who reads their stun usually finds
something that he or some other mem
Der OF the family wants and many or
ders are made up and sent out just at
such times.

chant falls down. Ifhe talked up his
business TO US in our homes the same
as the mail order houses do the people
would be in TO see him the next time
they came to town and in many cases
extra trips would be made to get the |
things at once that We didn't know
We wanted until they were brought
to our attention.
The home merchant can save the /
expense OF getting up catalogue. We 4
people read the home papers more
carefully than We do the catalogue.
and IL the merchant wants TO talk
business with US let him put his talk
in the home papers. and put IL in SO
that We know he means business. The
home merchant likely. nine times out
OF ten, sells his goods as cheap as the
mail order houses. and | believe on
many things they are much cheaper.
but how are we to know IL he doesn't
tell us about IL.
Merchant must not think that
even his best customers know his
goods so well that they can tell what
ne has without being shown.
