A REMARKABLE
SEASON
FOR GREENS,
The Truck Gardens In Western
Suburbs A Feast For
The Eye.
A LOOK IN ON Leon DESPLAND,

1t is well worth a trip out almost any
street into the western suburbs to see
the flourishing condition of the truck
patches
A GazrtteNeWS man took stroll out
Magnolia avenue and found Leon Des-
pland looking typical "hayseed. ;" well
bronzed and hard at work. Mr.. Des-
pland and helpers were picking and
grading Strawberries and they had some
as handsome fruit as the Cazette-News
man ever saw. 1t WAS large, rich in
color and of delightful flavor.
Mr.. Despland is growing a berry he
calls the klondike, with which he is
greatly pleased. A large patch set a
little less than three months ago show
up exceedingly well and are bearing
abundantly of choice fruit. He was
shipping it at 75c per quart.
He exhibited with pride another patel
the variety not yet named, which has
not yet been set quite six weeks and he
Is getting sprinkling of berries from it
also. This is remarkable showing and
an achievement few besides Mr.. Des-
pland could accomplish.
He has thrifty and promising patches
of onions, lettuce, celery, cabbage, cauli
flower, turnips, carrots, etc.
The visitor discovered that Mr.. Des-
pland is quite chicken fancier and his
premises were noisy with eackles and
cock adoOdle-dooS He had over 700.
about 800 of which ranged in size from
newly Matched up to broilers
He is partia! to the Rhode Island
Reds. He thinks they are the best win
ter layers for Florida and he is selling
all the eggs he gets at SOC per dozen He
has some very handsome pens of the
snowy red birds.
1t is men of Mr.. Despland's enterprise,
executive ability and resourcefuness
who will reclaim the Florida waste places
and demonstrate their fruitfulneSs.

THE SENATE CONFIRMS
We. SMITHS APPOINTMENT.
1t Is Now Postmaster Smith For
The Remainder of The Unex=
PRED Term.

The U. S. Senate approves the Presi.
dents appointment of ". c. Smith to
be postmaster at Davtona. There is no
sigh of relief as the appointment of Mr..
Smith has been foregone conclusion
for some time and neither Mr.. Smith
nor any of the turned down applicants
were surprised when the confirmation
news reached the city.
Mr.. Smith is now busy, smilingly re,
ceiving the congratulations of his friends
and reading kilograms of eongratulation.
An early Monday telegram read:
"Mr. and Mrs W. c. Smith,
Congratulations on your confirmation
by the Senate. Henry S. Chubb."
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith have the ability
experience, the force and the inclination
to give an efficient, up-to-date service
for Daytona.

ELIMINATE
THE GAP,
COMMISSIONERS
Wanted: A Good Hard Shell Road
From DaytOna South To
TituSViIie.
COMMISSIONERS, TAKE NOTICE.

| In the Daily News of January 9th, I'M
der the title of "Titusville, Meet Us Half
! Way" comment was made on the good
/ condition of the road south to Oak Hill
and of the impossible gulf between Oak
Hill and TItuSvllle. Editor Walton of
the East Coast Advocate reproduces the
Daily News article with this comment:
"a good idea. Brother Fitzgerald. but
hoy about VoluSia county fixing about
six miles, from Oak Hill to her south
boundary
"Brevard has a good rood for more
than six miles north of Titusville and
advocates of continuing the road are met
with the question, Why lay out money
for the completion of the road when six
miles of the most impossible road lies
in Volusia county,"
Automobiles cannot, as a rule, come
south of Oak Hill, and without the road
from that point to the boundary line be-
ing fixed the money to continue our por
ton would be practically wasted.
Build Your road to the division line
and then We have no doubt but that
Brevard will make the connection.
1t is Eolusia county's next move"
So here is the situation: Brevard
won't extend her shell road north to-
ward FoluSia because Nolusia has a lit
tie gap of unfinished road, and Vousia
wont go on south of Oak Hill because
when She reaches her southern bound
airy Brevard has a gap of abominable
road almost impossible for automobiles.
Well, what is to be done Wouldn' t
it be good idea for the commissioners
OF each county to appoint a committee
OF say two to meet with the committee
OF the other county, confer with them
and formulate plans, and decide how
best to fill in these gaps? Let Brevard
and Volusia meet half way. that is, at
! their respective county lines. and let
them take up the matter conformity and
push the two ends conformity. and by
another season Daytona and Titusvile
will witness daily visits of tourists from
one city to the other
The GaZette-News feels warranted in
saying that Daytona, Port Orange. New
Smyrna and Oak Hill will join enthusi-
astically in the movement for the COM
pletion of the VoluSia end if assured be-
yond peradventure that Brevard will
meet them at the line.
Take the matter up with the powers
that be. Editor Walton, and see whether
they think it worth while

Judging from reports coming from the
various resorts of Florida the present
tourist season is something out of the or
binary. Most of the North Florida re-
sorts think the run" little light and it
seems to be the concenSuS of opinion that
tourists are doing the unexpected

and to the extreme South and working
back by easy stages.

PLAN FOR Big "AD" SUGGESTED.

The Gazette-NewS bellevesi in Daytona;
is for Daytona first, last and all the time
1t believes that for beauty, both natural
and artificial, it has all other Florida
towns Skinned mile" If there is any
other town on the Florida map, a real,
sure-enough, wide-awake, snappy, up
and-at-it- go-afterit, get-there sort of
town, the GIN hasn't seen it, and
no other certainly is making noise

way; she must continue to give the
sleepy burgs all exhibition of speed that
will make their heads swim; she must
continue to hand out the very latest to
the ruralists.
1t is IN consonance with this idea of
supremacy and keeping safe lead over
| the procession that the Gazette News
conceived the idea of big crescent of
| lncandescent lights spelling Daytona' in
bold, brazen letters This crescent of
, letters to be suspended near the +. E C..
station where passengers of all the
trains could sit up and take notice, >"
and that all of them would rush to the
windows and rubber" there is no doubt.
Manager Gum. of the Schantz light
plant, says it would be easy to arrange
and that it need not cost big lot of
money. Manager Gum could arrange a
"winker,' a cluster of red and blue
lights whose winking at the nocturnal
pilgrims would fix their gaze upon
"Daytona' in her flaming letters.
No town in chriStendom WAS ever SO
advertised; it would be a ten-strikr.
Why not?
The Gazette News believes that the ell
ectrlc light people will carry out the idea
at comparatively trihing expense to
the city. If thought best the lights
could be turned on only little while, at
train time, or it could be used through
out the night.
The electric light plant has just cstab-
EShed at its own expense an are light to
light the entrance to the grounds. This
could be substituted and the city pay

tuition might involve

Joy OF Living

AS the years multiply and the end
draws nearer each day, our thoughts
are apt TO turn often to questions as TO
what part of our present being shall
exist in that other life beyond the veil;
and we anxiously ask ourselves whether
we are doing anything to prepare our
selves for that change, which will be 50
infinitely greater than any TRANSFORMED
ton through which we have hitherto
passed, and we can but wonder whether
any of our past experiences shall have
their counterpart in the world to
come. And yet we cannot help feeling
that some of our earthly joys have been
so pure, and have come 50 directly from
the hand Of kind and loving father
that it seems but reasonable we should
expect to find their counterpart in the
future; and we think with Bradford
Torrey; 1T is good to have lived our
day and taken our peep ut the mighty
show. Ten thousand things we have
may came 50 directly from the hand
of kind and loving Father, to have
felt the majesty of the trees, to have
enjoyed tho sweetness and beauty of
the flowers and the music of birds-so
much at least has not been vanity nor
vexation of spirit. "-Charlest0n News

Needs Hts Head Fixed on The Inside

1--WE have many times called the at
tention of mothers to the way they
permitted their little girls to make use
of their paint and powder boxes, which
not only means the running of their
complexion in their younger years but
makes them look little too disgusting
on the streets to talk about. As we
may have said before, the little girls
are really not to blame, it being the
fault of their mothers in allowing them
to appear upon the streets in such
condition. By Sthe time these little
girls become of age the skin on their
faces will be as hard as elephant hide.
The little girls we will excuse, holding
as we do that the fault all lies with the
mother who don't know any better, but
there are some others that we want to
trim up little. A few days ago we
were standing in the Overland Phar-
macy when young man came in and
was talking to one of the clerks. We
should judge his age to be about seven
teen, and if he don't accumulate more
brains in the coming seventeen than he
has in the past seventeen-well, his
head will drop in the fool-killer's basket,
and that sure thing. He had one Of
those soda cracker caps on that appear
ances might lead one to believe that he
was a real ''cut-up" and college
"spenort." He too had been to his
mothers paint and powder box His
cheeks looked as though he had plaster
ed the skin of Il ripe tomato upon
them, his eyelids and brows had been
heavily penciled, his lips red tinting,
his hair was curled to fit the soda
cracker cap, and by his lifting the
trousers of his papa bought suit we
were given glance ut his fancy sox
AS we looked cit" over we could make
but two guesses. First, some little girl
had either told him that he was pretty,
or else he had ''sOuped" at some time.
