PRAISES FLORIDA

After q short stay in this glori-
Gus State, one wonders why every
body else does not come down and
l;vein Florida; why theydo notsee
the beauties and advantages to be
found IN this grand state is we do.
There IN NO healthier spot on
earth Than Florida. lis ozone
laden air has given health and
strength TO thousands of nnfort.i-
mates who have been racked with
pain or emuciated with wasting
diseases. Health is the greatest
blessing of life and the people of
Florida are the healthiest iii the
entire United States. We have
no extremes Of temperature here
and the people live practically III
the open mir 365 days III the year,
breathing the balmy ozone If the
fragrant atmosphere which pre-
walls everywhere.
Here, II i man has moderate
capital, he can easily acquire d lit.
tle home near some progressive
town and lvie in comparative inde-
pendence il he Is not too lazy to
work his own little place. His
children can have the benefits Of
The best Of schools; they can get
culture aud advanced education.
Florida Il 4 state where abject
poverty y practically unknown.
Any man Of any worth Is soon
sized up rightly here and bis capa-
bilities appreciated by his ac-
quaintances, who will advance him
" furtherest limits Of his powers.
Ability and talent arc recognized

communities, and honest, decent
people minQIe with esch other to
mutual profit and enjoyment with
ont respect % any prejndices that
creep IN 80 frequently ia other lo-
caIities.
Florida has a string Of cities
along the coast which ire unsur-
passed for progressiveness and
md stability 10 any state III the
Union. This state has hundreds
of beautiful interior towns that
are worthy Of any country and
their prosperity and activity III
due 10 the character If their
citizenship.

No one feels a stranger after
hc passes The portals Of this grand
state, because the people are gem
erons, hosp;table AM pleasure
loving. A short residence here
makes a mnn a FIoridian, and ev-l
cry Floridian is d walking booster
for his town, community and
state. Nearly all Foridians know
each othe~ and most Of them boost
for themselves and for their
neighbors. That is the spirit
which has, and will continue to|
make Florida great In the face
of SO many advantages, il it|
strange that one WHO has expert
enced the riqors Of the frozen
north and the frigidity Of its peo-
pie should feel warmed towards
this glorious state, where 'sall the
time il summer and the flowersl

The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1913-12-18

mOoOthS " wv 1919 S"-
quence was held in the school au-
dltorium Thursday night when
the state manager and several de-
partment heads of the Southern
Settlement and Development or
ganizat:on addressed an attentive
audience.
The distinguished visitors had
arrived from Fort Myers on the
afternoon train, and previous to
the meeting at night they were
taken in automobiles and shown
around the town. What they
saw gave them "a very favorable
impression. of Punta Gorda and
the towns future prospects; and
this favorable impression was
strengthened by the decorations
in the auditorium in which the
various products of this vicinity
were conspicuously and attractive
ly displayed.
Ex-Governor Gilchrist presided
at the meeting and introduced the
first speaker, H. III. Richardson,
the state manager who presented
the speakers following him. He
explained the chief objects of the
organization which he represented
and the methods upon which the
work would he undertaken. He
went into the details of the mat
ter, explaining the inception of
the organization and speaking of
the need of judicious advertising
and intelligent efforts to get de.
sirable settlers to come south and
to Florida. He referred also to
the desirabiIi,y of establishing the
practice of canning all surplus
products and made use of the ex-
preston: sCan the cans unless
they are canned at home, for the
cans can be canned at home."
Clement 5. Ucker-of Washing
ton, director of colonization, wins
next introduced, who spoke of
how the resources and possibili-
ties of the southland can be de-
yeloped, and said that what is
needed along this line is more peo-
pie, who can he brought in through
proper colonization efforts. His
solution of tho problems connect
ed with the congested centers of
our country is in the shack to the
farm movement.
Mr.. Ucker was followed by
DR.. e. q. Hopkins, a soil expert
and member OF the faculty of the
University of Illinois. Mr.. Hop
kins said he was convinced Of the
utility and necessity of permanent
systems Of agriculture, and that
such systems could be operated
with high class living. He set
the audience TO thinking when he
asked how many knew the num-
Der or the names of tae elements
in wheat, or in fruits, or what
either wheat or fruits needed in
order to produce and bear. He
believes that the Florida state
agricultural experiment station
to be wonderful institution,
and said that it should be
adequately supported that il,
that it should lie called up
on to analyze the soils of all To-
calities and make reports upon
the same, so that deficiencies could
be supplied, and mentioned the
great increase of produce in Flori-
da which would follow the dis

l have always had very def

tend to marry. I wanted her to
be like my mother, whose whole
life was bound up in her family
and her home. I never remember
the time I came home and did not
find mother. She seldom went
anywhere except to church. I
never saw her sit down for an idle
moment without some sewing.
One of my sweetest remem-
brances is of the evenings when
she darned the stockings as she
told US stories.
My mother was a bit old-fash-
Toned. She did not believe in the
new woman. She knew little
about what was going on in the
world, but she certainly made us
who were out in it comfortable.
1t always seemed to me that she

Now pity me! I have fallen
desperately in love with a girl
who is in the chorus of a musical
comedy. Her costumes each
night would fill my mother with
horror! She is deliciously slangy
and charmingly independent. She

THE UTILITIES COMMISSION.

a long step forward The regulation
of public utilities will no longer be
accomplished at the cost of long and
expensive litigation, but tested meth

backed by accurate inquiries and
authoritative rulings.
The law requires that the members
of the commission must reside i'm
Jefferson City. Here they will sit as
a board of arbitration between the
public service corporations and the
people and hear all complaints. This
is wise provision in the new law.
No man can perform faithfully the

work of this commission is important
and the members of the commission |
should be in position to carry on

The new commission has an oppor-
tunity to be OF the greatest service
TO the state in bringing into closer
relation the service corporations and
the people, condition which would
be mutually beneficial.

Hey, Mrs. Jones, your house is on

In truth We Americans have to
stand much in the way of annoyance
in order to prove our claim to be the
most humorous people on earth. Or
dinarily the more persons annoyed,
the better the joke
In no place is this truer than in
newspaper work. Possibly it is in
part result of the "cock-sure" at
titude of some newspaper workers;
but at any rate. the American humor-
list has reached his highest stage of
perfection when he can make a news

There is a difference. however. be-
tween getting joke" on an individ-

trick your friend. and he can modify
your words by what he reads in your
expression and by what he knows of
your nature. Besides, if the matter
is important he will learn the truth
in a short time anyway. But If you
deceive a reporter and trick him into

done. The printed words stand out
