POWELL DEFINES POLITICS
Secretary of the Tampa Board Of
Trade Issues a Letter that VIII
Appeal to Business Men

The Star has received from Willis B.
Powell the following letter. 1t is
marked confidential, but we think it
would be a crime against the COM
munity not to publish it, as he makes
some extra good and timely hits:
No More Bulletins
For the present I shall issue no more
bulletins to the state press and COM
mercial bodies.
Lack of interest in wide mat
tiers has taken all the ginger out of me-
1 shall devote my energy and what
few brains l have to carrying out my
plans in my own bailiwick.
However, I shall be in a receptive
mood and will cooperate with others
who may have some good plan to ad-
vance the interests of the state.
I have endeavored to do a number OF
things the past year through my bull
lletins:
To place the Florida orange before
the United States as superior to the
California fruit, and to make a more
profitable market for the fruit, and
thus encourage larger acreage to or
janges and grapefruit and to promote
lsa1es of orange property.
To make Post Card Day a winner.
To form boys corn clubs for best
ten ears of corn, rather than acreage.
To show the 100000 tourists in the
Estate that our climate is superior 10
that of California.
To show that the newspaper is the
best literature to be sent from any
| city for advertising purposes.
! To protect the home merchant
against mail order houses.

Marriage a Failure?

The statisticians inform us that
there is an increasing tendency to-

look at this statement from another
angle. There are S8 couples who do
not get divorced. And so, is marriage
failure? Hardly!
