He few low. just high enough TO

His machine Is ponderous and slow
and has none Of the bird-like graces
and soaring qualities Of some Of its

II had endurance, however; and al.
ter having circled about the course
for three hours and a quarter and
reeled OF lSS miles he could have con.
tinued two hours longer without eX-
hausting his supply Of gasoline.
The turtle has again beaten the
hare! English tenacity has once
more proved itself OF greater useful
hess than French elan.
The steady plodder got there while
the more dashing rivals must console
themselves with the reflection that.
as long as they did go they went
faster.
But endurance rather than speed
is the desideratum in flying machines.

dropping down" to Ocala the early
part Of August. We think Mr.. Rankin
Nas also a little surprised himself.
and agreeably so. because he found
cut for himself that the Florida sum-
mer is in every way as delightful as
the Florida winter. Our fine breeZes
from both the Atlantic aud the Gulf
come in for their share Of apprecia.
tiCn. Mr.. Rankin did Just what We
wish every other prospective settler
would do-investigate for himself,
coming down unannouneed. and not
only that. but at a time when the un.
informed Northern or Western man
believes We are sweltering under
torrid sun and that the inhabitants
are all lying in the shade fighting in
sects and praying for winter.
The truth of-the business really Is
that our summers. though long. are
pleasant, the range of temperature be-
ing lower than In most OF the other
States. and that such a thing as heat
prostration or sun-strOke is unknown
on the Florida peninsula.
Then again. our farmers are by no
means idle. for every month in the
year is a harvest month. II they want
IL TO be. Then our lumber. turpen-
tine, stock. phosphate. lime. and va
ried manufacturing interests keep our
banks. stores, railroads. steamers and
hotels busy all the year.
Life in Florida is not all one sweet
song, by any means. nor do gold dol
lars grow ON trees. But In no section
OF all this great country of ours will
the soil more quickly or surely re-
spond to the hand Of labor or success
crown the efforts of the man who
works with his hand and brain. No
State offers greater opportunities. and
We firmly believe Florida is on the
eve OF the greatest prosperity and de-
velopment in her history.
We want more people to join US to
assist In bringing to pass the bright
promises OF the future and TO share
in our prosperity. The man who
comes to Florida today will make no
mistake II he will exercise common
sense. make his own investigation. and
not be- led into get rich quick
schemes or led astray by glittering
transformation and a promise Of some.
