The first tourist in Florida was
Ponce de Leon. He came in search of
the fountain of youth and of hidden
treasures. He found neither and went
away broken in spirit, in health and
in the pocket book. When Old Ponce
got through with Florida he was sick
man. The new region of flowers and
of the fountain of youth did not come
up to the press agent reports. He
found its charms, legands and re-
sources had been greatly exaggerated.
That was hundreds of years ago,
and since have come thousands of
other Ponces from all the states of
the Union and from across the sea,
all looking for the fountain of youth.

life and for riches in the soil. Like the
original Ponce de Leon all his follow
ers have been doomed to sad and Bit
ter disappointments.
The legands that brought the first
Spanish nobleman to Florida were No
more rosy, no more eloquent, no more
promising, no more exaggerated, no
more misleading. not so false ani

day legands being spread throughout
the country in the shape of Florida

SPEAKING OF CLIMATE

Speaking of the climate Of the
South this may interest you.
We left Denver on January 10th.
That was as fine day as ever saw
in California or Florida. No overcoat
was needed and it was warm enough
to sit out in the park and enjoy 4
sun bath.
We spent the 18th in Memphis. and
it was SO cold and rainy that we did
not go outside the hotel during the
whole day.
In Florida We found an overcoat
comfortable every day.
In Havana we had six days that
were warm. but the last four days
were cool and overcoats were worn.
When we got back into Florida II
was cool again. We were In Paiatka

The most talked of man in Colo
RADIO to day for governor is Dr. HUI
bert Work of Pueblo.
DIR. Work is not saying word
Like the matchless Teddy he shrinks
from admitting even thai he would
accept the high honor If! thrust upon
him. But if he doesn't look out, arl
hang onto his sombrero pretty tight
some of his many enthusiastic sup
porters will toss his hat in the ring
and then-well DR.. Work would he
the next governor.
1t is sad commentary on the pres
ent system of politics and statecrafe
that men in the class of DR. Work do
hesitate about accepting the rsspon-
sibility of high office-taking with Il
as it does SO much personal sacrifice
and abuse. But 1t is just such men as
DIR. Work that the people of the state
would like, to see in the governor {
chair. They have vastly more conf
dence in men of his station and sur
! roundings than they have in the law
yer-governors of Denver.
While DR.. Work is not candidate,
still something about him will be Of
interest to Record readers, for he
may be the next governor even if he
is not candidate now.
DR.. Work grew up on a Pennsyl-
vania farm. He went through the
University of Pennsylvania, graduat-
ing in that school of medicine in 1885
He began the practice of medicine
in Colorado, locating the year be
graduated at Greeley. So his whole
life as man has been lived in this
wonderful state of ours. He lived u
few years at Ft. Morgan. He moved to
Pueblo about twenty years ago and
has long been considered one of Pu-
eblo's first citizens.
He has a wife and three children,
the oldest son now being student IN
the medical college at Philadelphia.
DR.. Work is the owner OF Wood

municate with other ships under the
Morse code. regardless of nationality.

tories. Amateur stations under the scope
of the regulations will number several
thousand.

That II is easier to be generous than

That many children become discour-

no approval.
That nothing causes a child to cease
