awkward, backward, undisciplined
school which we would have to teach.
There are today populous farming
centers in the United States where
neither climate nor soil fertility can
compare with those OF Florida. The
people of those sections are gener-
ally hardworking and thrifty; indeed
circumstances have compelled them
to be SO or else to starve. These are
the people needed in Florida. And
these are the people who would come
to the state-to every section Of it
were they properly informed of adj
vantages offered and convinced, as
they might easily be, that by moving
here they would improve their for
tune while living less strenuous life
and escaping the harsh winters OF
their northern homes.
1t all comes down to the one prac-
teal, alI-important fact: the state at
large and every county in the state
through boards of trade and other Of
fetal bodies both private and public
should inaugurate a far reaching and
we'll considered system of advertis-
ing. OF course it will cost money
a very large sum Of money. But for
what purpose may money be spent
more wisely?
The settlement of Florida's broad
fields by such a class would mean
the enlargement and enrichment OF
every town and city in the state.
villages would spring up in what are
now barren places and grow to cities
of wealth and importance, while
every added increment of activity,
opulence and power would rebound
to the glory Of our great penfnsular
commonwealth and finally lift it on a
plane with the leading states of the
union.
One must spend money to make
money. It is a law of business which
EQUALS in una1terable quality the an
cient statutes of the Modes and Per
SLAMS. The same law holds good with
respect to state, county or municipal
development these bustling days Of
keen competition, and never may we
hope to see Florida enjoy the bright
destiny to which it is entitled until
it's people shall have cast aside all
parsimony. all lethargy. and invested

venture as we have suggested.

awaiting, not doubling there was an
increase as in every year since it was
begun. Also they are bothered by an
experiment in cooperative insurance
in Chicago which has made revela-
tons regarding the profits made in
their fled. The oder fraternal and
mutual forms they had competed with
and still prospered, by charging high
rates, but the Chicago project has let
everybody into the game of exploit
ing themselves and their friends and
bids fair to succeed because the big
profits are in the investments of large
sums and not in the underwriting.
Cutting the underwriting rates to cost
by mutuals has not pleased the in

to them, the public benefitting.
The life insurance totals increase in
I9OS over 19Ul quite SHARPLY especially
in the agricultural states like South
Dakota and Kansas where good crops
have been the rue during recent years.
In South Dakota the insurance in force
jumped from $35,904,949 to over $685.

larger percentage than was achieved
in eastern states, although the gain
in New York was about $50, ,000,-

100000 This rule held true in Min
nesota also. the gain being from
$1S7, 597, $500 in 1907 to $196,612,682 in
1908. Illinois increased it's insurance
in force nearly $25,000,000.

BEVERLY"

Before fair Sized audience "Bev-
erly of Graustark' was last night pre-
sented at the Keylor Grand theatre
on the first of two night engage
ment The play was entirely success
full for one of it's class, that is melo-
drama. The stage setting and the
scenery were excellent and has rare
ly been equalled by any plays com
ing to the Keylor Grand. The cos
tunes were good and helped immense
ly to give the scenes of the play
true setting in the eyes of the audi
ence.
The play is based on the novel
Beverly of Graustark written by
George Bar McCutcheon and the scenes
are laid in the mountains and at the
capital of that imaginary country,
Graustark. The play requires only
a small cast and those who had the
leading parts last night handled them
well. The supporting characters were
good and deserve much praise. The
best of these and indeed one of the
best characters of the evening was
the old negro nanny Aunt Fanny
who accompanied Miss Graustark of
Washington, d. c., on a visit to her
friend the princess Yetive of Graus-
tark Edith Shayne who played the
part of Yetive was good and handled
her part with ease and dignity.
Thomas V. Morrison, as General
Marinax, commandments of the
Graustark army also handled we'll his
part as a rough old soldier. Gertrude
Fowler, as Beverly was good. She
had the spirit of the typical American
girl abroad
One of the prettiest scenes of the
entire play was the stage setting in
the third act when the courtyard OF
the castle was presented at night. The
lightning effects were suberb and too
much cannot be said for this part of
the play.
Beverly of Graustark'' will be on
the boards at the Keylor Grand again
this evening.
