COMMENDS THE HERALD
Ohio Attorney Also Sees Bright Flu.
fure For Punfa Gorda

FL. S. Pulse, a leading attorney
of Lynchburg, Ohio, who visited
Punta Gorda the past winter, has
lately subscribed to The HERALD,
and when remitting takes occasion
to compliment the paper and ex-
presses the opinion that Punta
Gorda has very bright future.
He says:
"Your city is certainly to be
complimented on the size, style
and general newsy character OF
your paper. 1t compares very
favorably with the best county pa
pers we have up here and nothing
so well advertises locality or so
fayorably impresses stranger
with the same as an up to date
live newspaper.
IL am reading the same with a
great deal of interest. If your 10.
callty can only get through the
improvements in contemplation
and which seem in a fair way to
be accomplish ed, / believe the
time is not far distant when you
will see your town one of the best
and most prosperous cities in the
state.
"No one going there can help
being favorably impressed with
your wonderful climate, beautiful
harbor and bay and the richness of
your soil. Given a little time
when your drainage and roads are
more advanced and little more
general development work done
and you will have one of the most
desired sections in the whole coun-
try for the investor and home
seeker.
''Nothing succeeds like success
and nothing brings success so
surely and quickly as the forma-
tion of the boosting habit. Keep
at it and your work will undoubt-
edly be appreciated"

lemon, the pecan and nearly ev'
cry kind of fruit grown will dc

proper attention and cultivation.
All kinds of vegetables flourish
here. The cereals do we'll. Sea

wonderful variety of products.
The possibilities of Florida in the
production of all kinds of agricul-
tural products seem well nigh linn
itless and its development along
this line appear to have just fairly
begun. Its pine lands have for
generations brought and are still
bringing fortunes to their owners
in the naval products as we'll as in
lumber.
Nature is lavish in every way
with this wonderfully favored pen
insula, and its profusion of streams
and of lakes, not equalled by any
other State, are filled with choice
fish of all kinds, while its great
stretch of coast line, greater than
that of any other State, furnishes
salt water fish of all varieties,
oysters, and then to add the finish

products, filled many of the coast

WILL BENEFIT FARMERS
American Commission Will Study
European Cooperation

A most important task whose
solution will be of the greatest in
terest to the American farmer
will be undertaking by the Ameri.
can Commission on agricultural
cooperation and rural credits,
now studying the systems being
used in many countries in Europe.
During the voyage from the
United States the members decid.
ed to depart from the original in.
tention of merely investigating
the systems of foreign rural cred.
its as 1t was decided so narrow a
subject would tend against the
usefulness of the commission.
The scope of the work was
therefore enlarged to embrace the
whole subject of cooperative ef-
fort as it touches agricultural and
rural life. The members divided
into four subcommittee dealing
with the finance, publication. dis
tribution and organization of agri-
culture and country life.
The work of the commission
really falls into three main chan
nels-frst, observation In Europe
of what has been done; second,
observation in the British Isles
Chiefly in IreIandD of the way in
which it is being done and third,
and perhaps the most important.
the working out of a scheme bv
which the results of this obserya-
tion may be made applicable to
the widely differing conditions of
the various American states and
of the provinces of Canada.
DIR. Butterfeld of Massachusetts,
was nominated president of the
Colonel Harvey Jor-
dan, of Georgia, secretary, and
DIR. Owens, of Washington, d. G.
managing director. All of them
are members Of the federal COM
appointed by President
Wilson which is accompanying
and cooperating with the Ameri.
can committee.

Fishing for Sport

Everybody is goin' a tishin' here
no one ever saw so much fishing
and so many fish before. Some
twenty or more anglers had the
wagon driveway of the city wharf
literally strewn with fish one after
noon and evening recently; they
caught more than they knew what
to do with, but none were to be
wasted and each who had had a
hand In the sport took a portion
and distributed them among
friends about the city and there
was feasting throughout the
length and breadth of the town.
They goa fishing day time and
night time-the moonlight even
ings are irrisitible with the pisca-
torial sport at its best. Big fish
and little fish are caught and ma
terial is gained for yarns that will
be spun months and years from
now.
Yarns" was that the word
useds the truth is stranger than
fiction, when it comes to the mar
ration of incidents connected with
the catching of fish here. 1t is
more frequent that the half is not
told so no one need hesitate to be-
lieve all that is related. Those
in the sport have no
compunction whatever in telling
OF their experiences, and there
should be no doubling Thomases

THE SAND-LIME
BRICK INDUSTRY
LAST YEAR A BANNER YEAR
States That Lead in Output Florida
Among Them

Nineteen twelve was good yeal
for the sand-lime brick industry
The value of the output of sand
lime brick in the United States
last year, according to figures com
piled by the United States Geo
logical Survey, was 81, 17O,S
compared with 1897. 664 in 1911,
an increase of 1878, ,22O. The 1915
production was slightly greater
than that of 1910, which was valu.
ed at 81, 1859, ,153, and only 4.4s per
cent less than that of 1907, the
banner year in the industry.
The total number of this COM
paratively new kind of brick man.
ufactured in 1912 was 174,36 900
of which 164, 100000 were COM
mon brick and 10,221, 900 front
brick. Michigan continued in
1912 to be the leading State in val
ue of output, its product constitu-
ting 24.54 per cent of the total
value of all sand-lime products in
1912. New York was second in
value of product, as in 1911, re-
porting 1899 per cent of the total.
Florida was third, displacing Min
nesota, which fell to fourth place.
Eight States-California, Florida,
Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Mime
sofa, New York and Wisconsin,
showed an increase in 1912, and
three New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
and South Dakota showed de-
crease. Michigan showed the larg-
est increase, $77, 1892; Florida the
second and New York, the third.
In 1911 only two states-New
York and Wisconsin showed an
increase.
The average price per thousand
for common sand-lime brick was
$6.45 in 1912, compared with
5000 in 1911 and $6.36 in 1910;
for front brick it was S1O.41 in
1912, against $9.53 in 1911 and
$1,000 in 1910.
The sand-lime brick industry
has been established in the United
States only little over 10 years
and during that time has passed
through many vicissitudes. Many
plants have been erected where
market conditions we're not pro-
pitious and others where suitable
were not available;others
although conditions and materials
were satisfactory, failed for want
Of technical skill or because of |
poor management. During 1912
some of the abandoned plants
were taken over by skilled men,
we're remodclel in acc ordance with
the latest developments, and are
now being operated successfully.
The prospects for 1918 are consid-
,red bright, the future of the in
lustry seems established, and
steady growth may be expected.

to question the veracity of any
disciple of Isaac Walton.
! Fish stories, though, do not
come within the scope of this arti-
Gle, which has to deal with only
the fact that fishing as a sport is at
its height here now. Not one who.
can find a convenient hour for it,
but.what HES himself to the CITY
wharf, the present mecca for loca \
hook and line, gig and snag fisher
man, and INDUCES in this absorb
ing pastime.
Darby O'Toole is one of those
anglers that you read about, and
he's the leader of the gang here;
and there's Wallace Chadman.
Harry Decker, Charley Gill, Mar
tin Williams, Frank Blount and
Charlie Roe, who'd rather 60 fish
ing than to eat; Emmett Perkins,
Wallace Mobley, Steve Morton,
Wick Lester, Perk Yoemans and,
others steal the time from their.
daily vocations to play the finny
tribe: Jim Corbett and Rnfns FL
liot; Doctor Newman, Joshua
Mizell and David Mcqueen have
been seen among those playing
the reel and line from the public,
wharves.
So 'tis very evident that the,
sport of the angler holds some as
if by spell. This was exemplified
Friday afternoon when all Of its
votaries here those already mem
toned individually, some Others
also and a small number of the
negro population were all dang
ling their feet over the edge OF
the city wharf and striving to
catch all the fish in the sea.
1t was quite bunch of people.
and SO eagerly did they fish away.
that an enterprising Yankee hap
penlng up mentioned that he'd like
to obtain from the city council q
franchise giving him the exclusive,
use of the wharf for fishing pur-
poses, for he could portion it off
in the manner of booths and rent
these spaces so provided to such,
persons as wished to go fishing.
A muttering went down the line.
and the fishermen were about TO-
rise up in their might and put the
man overheard when he gave them
assurance that he had no intention
OF undertaking to carry out such
a plan, and he was not further mo-
lested. These Punta Gorda ang-
lers do not want their privileges
abridged in the least.
On this particular afternoon all
kinds OF fish were caught. Among
others were Spanish mackerel.
trout, whiting, sand perch, angel
hsh, robalo and drums. There
were tarpon, jewish, shark and
porpoises in plenty near at hand,
but no one bothered with these.
on other days when it's only the
sport that's wanted, these bigger
species are given attention.
Without having the exact fig
nres at hand, and yet to be con-
servatlve In giving the number of
lsh caught from the city wharf, it
IS certainly not over-estimating it
TO say that several thousand have
been caught during the past few
days.
Fishing has been one of the
sports suberb since the early days
Of the world aud is likely to con-
Llnue such for many years to come.
And nowhere else can it be ENJOY
ed to greater degree than here ON
The lower west coast of Florida
at Punta Gorda, the home Of the
tarpon.

Florida, in many respects, Ii
one of the most interesting of al
the fair sisterhood of States in the
Union. From the time that Ponce
DeLeon, with his band of adven
turous cavaliers landed at St
Augustine four hundred years ago,
in search of the fountain of youth,
there seems to have been an air OF
mystery, romance and legend con-
nected with this land of flowers
and wonderful climate.
Ponce DeLeon failed to find the
wonderful spring which he sought,
but the people Of the twentieth
century have discovered that here
in its magnificent climate, is to be
found a perpetual source of health
and enjoyment of life, and hither
tens of thousands of people from
all sections of this great republic
now gather, as we'll as many from
foreign lands to spend several
months during tho rigorous winter
season and thus prolong their lives
as we'll as make life worth the liv-
ing. Like the birds of passage,
when the chilling winds begin to
form the Ice and bring the SHOWS
to the more northern cfimes, a
steady stream of humanity begins
to move down on Florida to re-
main till the warm sunshine of
spring melts the SHOWS and again
brings warmth, when they return
home for the summer.
Strange, that though having the
oldest settlement and the earliest
history after the discovery by the
white man of this country, that
Florida should be among the very
last to be developed by the pro-
gressive commercial spirit of the
twentieth century.
There is no doubt now that this
spirit is thoroughly abroad in the
State from Jacksonville, the Queen
City and gateway from the north,
to Key West in the Southern eea
and from Fernandina and St. Aug
ustine on the Atlantic coast, to
Pensacola and Tampa on the Gulf
coast, development and growth
are manifest everywhere.
Thousands of acres of lands are
being sold to new citizens in ev-
cry part of the big State, pine
lands, hammock, muck and even
the Everglades, about which so
much has been said of late, and
which caused a congressional in
yestigation, are being brought in-
to cultivation, and smiling with
harvests of golden citrus fruits,
and other fruits and vegetables
which are bringing wealth to the
owners. 1t is said that Florida
lands produce more money to the
acre than those of any other State
in the Union. In every county
and in almost every community in
the State out door crops will -four
ish in every month of the year.
1t is probable that more kinds
of fruits, vegetables and food
crops of all varieties can be suc-
cessfully grown in Florida than
anv other section or State in the
entire United States. New fruits
and other products are being con-
stantIy added to the list that can
be successfully grown in Florida,
but which had not been tried be-
fore.
The State is rich in its annual
production of it's great citrus crops
If 800, 900 to 5000, 900 boxes of

delicious tangerines. The pine
lpple grows to its highest type of

day. His condition is such tonight as
to indicate that he will be unable to
resume his place at back on the Mead

has cast gloom on the supporters Of
the American team and much doubt is
expressed over the result Of the match,
The accident was similar to the one
that befel Mr.. Milburn on the Rock
away hunt club field three weeks ago
and occurred while he was racing
against Foxhall Keene for the flying
ball. AS Milburn reached out to make
swing at the ball, his pony stumbled:
fell and rolled completely over In the
melee Mr. Milburn was kicked about
the face, head and chest. The injured
player was rushed to the clubhouse in

consciousness. He then complained of
severe pains in his head and chest.
