1t is difficult to get away from the
idea that Senator Tilln,an is not making
use of his tea tax proposition as a joker
and an object lesson to the protection
lists. IT is hard to think that he means
to tax millions of tea consumers in the
United States for the benefit of one little
tea patch in South Carolina that doesn't
produce enough to supply two dozen
families.

The pineapple is one Of the most de-
lectablc Of fruits, 1t is constituen,
part of the anhrasia Of the moderns
if not of the gods. And the pineapple
OF Florida is the premier of its kind 1t
is SO good and sweet and kind that il
deserves all Of the protection that the
tariff laws can throw about it, so as to
save it from the competition of inferior
and alien pincapples grown in othe
countries OF this fact we have been
repeatedly assured by the Miami Metro
lis, the Florida East Coast Review,
Senator Taliaferro and other authorities.
In order to demonstrate to the sena-
tors at Washington how good Florida
pines" are, and how worthy they are
of protection. Senator TaliaferrO re-
Gently sent toeach senator two delicious.
juicy. fat, ripe Indian River pines,
the very fragrance Of which was suf.
fcient to make ones mouth water.
Somehow or other the senators at
Washington always prefer a practical
demonstration of the kind to any
amount Of mere argument.
Among those who received pines
with the compliments of Senator Talia.
ferro was Senator Smith Of South Car.
DINA. 1t transpired that at the time
Mrs. Smith was at home in Florence.
The Senator naturally desired that Mrs,
5. should taste the fruit. How to get
the pines to Florence promptly and
safely was then the question.
Senator Smith is new hand al the
congressional bellows but he is an apt
pupil. He had postal frank in his
pocket. He heard Of how certain
other senators had made use Of their
franks 10 send their laundry, their
pianos and even their mich COWS
through the mails Ii they could do
things Of that sort. why couldn't he
frank through couple OF pineapples,
Not Z. great while ago a certain senator
sent to the lostoi1ice a practically
complete, though small, library which
he demanded should Re transmitted

Under his cor gre >siondl frank. And the
thing was done. 1t hasn't been great

typewriter was government property
and that senators had been in the habit
Of sending government typcwriiers to
their homes during recess and returning

DEC.AYING NEWSPAPER FILES

Newspaper files are giving librarians
nc little anxiety. For the last two de-
cades or SO the daily journals have all
been printed on wood-pulp paper, which
IS not Of durable quality. In course of

librarians are obliged to make eSamina-

About IS years ago, DeLand enjoyed
a real boom. At that time thousands Of
acres Of land were cleared and orange
groves planted. One summer the nights
were bright with burning pine logs
where land was being cleared for range
groves. Buildings were erected 70 a
considerable degree-and what was at
that time real boom was in progress.
Since then we have had no boom, but q
steady, healthy growth, For the past
two years, the town has enjoyed fine
growth. but it has never quite reached
the boom stage. More money will be
expended in DeLand buildings this year
than ever before. The present growth
OF the town is very satisfactory to all
who have lived here number Of years
and are interested in the prosperity Of
the town.
