Most Of the people Of the north

places they find the same climate
the year around-never spring,
never summer, never fall, never
winter. This. to a man who has
been used to the change Of seasons,
becomes monotonous and results in
dissatisfaction, decline and decay.

cause Of the eternal sameness. But
In coming here from the north and
east they have the same seasons they
have in the north. The summer ID
never warmer than ii Is there, with
always a cooling breeze In the day,
and never a night but what they

north, with Just enough frost in the
morning TO make a person feel well
always warm and sunshiny during

of advanced years, who has felt the
inward chill when struck by the ic,

he can put his stamp even in his de-
clining years on the farm which ht
may own, where the prices are sucl
that an advance Is assured.
