EVERYONE AT WORK.
New Buildings Springing Up in All
Parts of Lynn Haven-Experi-
ence of a Man From Oklahoma.
He Came to Look and Stayed to
Buy-Sad Death of Early Sub
scriber in His Kansas Home.

The National Tribune: Things at
LINN Haven are moving along an even
tenor. Everyone on the grounds has
settled down to work, and as result
new buildings are springing up in every
part of the town. This shows the wis
dom Of the allotting committee in scat
tering the subscribers an over the
townsite, and allowing no part of the
city to get start of any other part. 1t
must all come up together.
by a close study of the topography
of the townsite we find a great many
beauty spots-Dlaces that seem de-
signed by nature for bungalows, com
fort and happiness.
Mr.. j. ID. Bodine, of Oklahoma, came
here 10 Investigate" On Feb. % he
purchased lot price $3.50, and began
to erect Il house. A few days later he
said Lynn Haven was growing on him,
and sent in $50 for an allotment.
April 3 he made another purchase. He
bought two lots this time at q cost of
$500, and is going 10 build an 11-room
modern house. He says his faith in
the future of the town is supreme, and
lhat he is going to stay right here and
grow up with it. Many a man will
wish he had done likewise.
We were shocked and grieVed to
learn Of the sudden death of DIR. w.
w. Bowlus, of Bunker Hill, Kan. He
was one OF the early subscribers, and
came here in the Fall with his wife to
spend the Winter and test the climate.
He was so well pleased he purchased
two lots on Indiana avenue. but re-
Gently went home to settle up his af-
fairs with the purpose of returning and
building a fine house and spending the

made many friends here, and we all
mourn his loss and extend our sincere
sympathy to his family and friends

Wen Pleased with the Florida Colo

The National Tribune: While at st.
Cloud last Winter. where myself and
wife spent 10 happy weeks feas ting on
fruits and vegetables from garden and
grove and enjoying the warm, bright
sunshine and listening with pleasure to
the song of the mockingbirds, we heard
much Of Lynn Haven, and concluded
to visit it. We reached there March
80 and stayed five days, during which
time we carefully investigated the col
ony property, and feel well satisfied
that the St Andrews Bay Development
Company has fine proposition, and
those who take an interest there will
find II a paying investment. Col. e. p.
TruesdeI and his good wife are care
fully looking after the colonists as they
reach there, and do all they can to
help newcomers 10 establish themselves
in their new homes.
st. Andrews Bay is splendid body
of water, affording harbor large
enough and deep enough to feat all
the navies of the world. / found over
400 people ON the ground and 30 or
more buildings constructed and many
more under way. l found large force
of men at work clearing and cutting
out roads and avenues, surveying the
lots and doing Other work to make the
property valuable. Stories were circu-
lated at ST. Cloud that the ground was
wet but this is not so. There are wet
places, but drainage is easy. The town
site Is higher than the Bay, and there
is a slope towards the water front, and
drainage accordingly is an easy mat
ter. j have written my friends that /
think conditions are all right and the
proposition a safe one to invest In. The
company is honest and well managed,
and will give subscribers to shares a
square deal. ! was treated with great
courtesy by the company's representa-
uves at st. Cloud and also at Lynn
Haven. From investigation at both
places it gives me great pleasure to
commend both communities to the vet

A CATHOLIC CHURCH NEEDED.
An Appeal for Funds to Build Ono at
ST. Cloud.

Editor National Tribune: Through
the columns and by the courtesy of The
National Tribune, wish to make known
that we are without a Catholic Church
in st. Cloud. AS rule practical mem
bers of our faith and desirable citizens
do not care to settle where they nave
not the comforts of mass and the serv-
ices of the Church. If they do settle
where there is not a church, II is with
the hope that one will soon be built.
If their hopes are not realized they be-
come Indifferent to religion, as unfor-
tunately has often happened, or getting
dissatisfied move elsewhere. but remove
too from the community the leaven of
their faith. Either alternative is a mis-
fortune from the point of view of one
interested in the extension of Christs
Holy Church and the perpetuation of
His work through the Church
In st. Cloud we have old soldiers,
Catholics, who came TO spend their re-
naming days in a genial, balmy climate
in the company of their comrades. They
have found the climate and companion
ship, but have no church. Others be-
sides old soldiers and sailors wish to go
to st. Cloud They write for informa-
ton about the colony. They ask if

pect of one being built. So far, slight
encouragement has been given them
because of the lack of means at our Dis
posal with the result that they turn
their attention to other places where
the religious condition is more inviting.
The company has donated lots for
churches. Non-Catcholics are putting
up costly ediaces with aid from outside
sources. We are too few to undertake
even a small respectable church. We
need a small. neat, devotional church
for our soldiers who go to st. Cloud
to make their homes. This is the Mas
ter's work. 1t depends not alone in
those here, who can only help by cali
ing for help.
1t all depends on those for whom am
