ppOdRESsIvE NEW SMYRNA
Krw sMYRNA !, .ituated Alton

! NEW SMYRNA l. situated fifteen
miles south OF Dzytona and is an
IDEAL spot reached from Dzytona by
! hard surface road winding through
one OF the most picturesque parts Of
UcridA.
With its ancient ruins dating back
70 q time when the history of man
runneth not, interlaeed with wires of
the modern telegraph and telephone,
It's miles Of shell streets as hard and
smooth as Hoor and over-arched by
hoary forest giants that grew in state
" grandeur during the lapse of by
cone centuries, New Smyrna is truly
= place Of romance and rest.
All nature here is very inviting to
the tourist and pleasure-seeker. Here
too IS to be found the best fishing and
hunting in the State of Florida
The people are thrifty, the bust
ness men enterprising. and all unite
in extending the welcome hand of
hospitality to strangers. There are
Eve church edihces for white people
and an equal number for the colored
population; the town has an excellent
high school, a splendid public lib
rary, and up-to-date business houses.
There are any number Of pretty
homes for the permanent population
which numbers close TO 1000, and
some very fine winter residences.
There are good hotels and boarding
houses where You can find accomo-
cations TO meet your requirements.
Adjoining New Smyrna is as fine a
section Of vegetable land as can be
found anywhere This land has
been divided into small farms which
can be bought at reasonable pr. ces
Some OF the fest celery grown in
the State is raised on this land. All
other vegetables grow in abundance,
and here, too, is the home of the fam
Gus Indian River oranges.
New Smyrna has no bonded in
debtedneSs and the tax levy is low.
A point that no tourist should fail
to visit is the ruins of the Old Span
ish Mission which stand somber and
alone about one and a quarter miles
southwest of New Smyrna. A good
road leads to the place and the trip
can be easily made by an automobile.
Silent in the great pine fats by the
marlin Of the forest, is this place of
pilgrimage for the PiOusi this rem
dezvous for the picnicker. The ruins
arc extensive, and while there is no
authentic history Of their origin, it
Is presumed that the Mission was
built by the Franciscans in the days
when the once powerful Kingdom Of
Spain first planted its Gag upon what
Is now American soil. II was built
OF coquinA, the roof being of the
same material, cut into thin slabs
and covered with cement plaster.
kxtensivs gardens surrounded it,
which were enclosed by a stone
wall, portions of which still remain.
Visitors usually come in parties
merry and curious but the spell Of
The place soon falls upon them and
they separate to sit alone, silent and
meditative, under the arches or be-

DOUGLAS, June S.--(Special.l l-- The first move of the new city ad- ministration is a general cleanup. Street Supervisor Gibbs was in the International office this morning and stated that he had received instruc- tions to clean up the city and would start on shis work tomorrow He sWill make thorough job of it, going through street by street, and alley by alley. VIII clean out the alleys and is ready to take whatever refuse there is on any premises away. He asks that all refuse. including stones and rocks be put out in the alleys by the various householders to be carried away by him. After this first clean up garbage Is to be placed in cans and put out, to be carried away. but this preliminary cleanup is to be a thorough one and one which Will hold for awhile"
 Street Supervisor Gibbs states that he will start tomorrow between Tenth and Eleventh streets and will go right through A avenue. taking in the cross avenues on the way. Then he will proceed on through other al leys. again working the cross ave nues as he goes until the city has been covered. This is the opportu- nity for the householder to do this for themselves and one it would be well to take advantage Of. Later aD inspection will be made. and after that the city will proceed to make a cleanup of any premises that need il and charge the expense against che premises cleaned.
 The move by the city comes at an excellent time in connection with the offer made through the International for a identification of back yards The photographs can be taken at once. the refuse thrown out and il will be at once carted away and then the work of improvement can be con tinued in the contest for the prizes offered

Association Talks Over Plans to Reduce the Losses from the Necessary System to the Minimum.

!. DOUGLAS, June s.-tspecial.) - The practice Of extending credit to nearly everyone living in communi- ies where a monthly payroll is the .ule Is an old and almost universally established one. extending throughout .he country. and one fiat eannCs ,a my way so far discovered be abc. shed.
 How to minimize the losses arising from this practice is the aim of the business Mems Protective association.
 Every business man knows. and ad- nits that he must charge an extra .5ercentage for his wares to c1ve. .osses through poor debtors. thus nalIiag the man who pays his b.iis, assist in paying the c-.,l> 5i the nan who aes3 ne6 s,ay.
 This syssem is wrong and r ozlo can be devised to obviate t not oaly Will the business man gain therspy but the honest debtor wiil be g-ea..y benefited siss.

 Now let us look at the methods C. the association as already estaDiisa. ea. ana also some proposea ,astiI5sz.
 Ihe association has at present 4v members. consisting or the leadiE& business men of our city. who hay. furnished the secretary the name Of all c. l1>sr debtors, and a cha actsr O. lnSri. indicating the standing os each cs tnese debtors as shown Es tas books of the member furnishing the same. and which marx is indtcs .i.o and reliable authority Of the bu- mess standing or credit rating O sueh debtor.
 This rating is a confidential majte- Itelween the member furnishing sace s1d the secretary. and no nembe Snows how another member rares ] any debec=.
 Theze ratings are entered on the books of the association by the ses ! fetary (books open al all Jimes t. i menbcrsJ.

The information enables the mero her receiving it to judge as to wheth CT he wishes the party for deh.or CT not: and at the same time leaves the member free to act his owr pleasure in the matter. as he ic bound in no manner whatsoever to deny anyone credit on account cf that party being indebted 10 any other member of the association.
 This freedom to act ones own pleasure has been deemed advisable lor this reason: a member having an opportunity to do credit business with a party who has a poor credit rating may have some way of secur- ing himself in doing business with a party of this kind and should not be debarred from so doing. and the in formation he has received will cer- tainly be of beneat to him
 The secretary is the only salaried member of the association and as his entire time is given to the associa- ton he must have recompense. his salary. together with sundry office in- s4deatals. such as rent, telephone. stationery. stamps. etc, make up the monthly expense account, aggregating s125.O0.
 The first thrce months (expiring July D have been the most expens- i've that the association will have, sa office furniture, typewriter, Looks. stationery and other incidentals uec sssary, have been purchased. the sup. plies now on hand are sufficient .o- some time to come.
 Membership fee has been placed Et $500 and dues for the present al . pro-rata, according to the numbe- sf members, sufficient to pay monthly expenses being all that is asked.
 ft is proposed after the first of Juiy so classify the dues instead of pro rata rate, dues will then be accord ing to the amount of credit business member is doing.
 During the short time the associa tIon has been running most of the members have felt the good effects os the system employed, and all are unanimous in expressing their opin- ions as to the good that will follow aot only to the creditor but to the 1@5tor.
 Another method that win be car Jed out as soon as the information | can be secured will be the showin.
