Letter From {. ]. Godfrey
Winter Haven, Fla.
June, II, 1913,


ing Tampa, the Hub City," of
the Gulf of Mexico, with it's
beautiful villas and many parks
and places of resort, we go by
train to the Blazing City," Of
Winter Haven. And if you
could be here between eleven
O'Clock in the morning and three
in the afternoon of each day,
you would call it rightly named,
because nowhere in Dixie have
! ever seen old Sol beam down
hotter rays than here. This
county, Polk, is a high dry pine
land region. Barlow is the
county seat. and a nice thriving
little city. This township No. %
is said to contain more spring
lakes than any other township
in this state. Propigating and
raising oranges seems to be the
whole ambition Of this entire
community, and / am not much
surprised as the groves sell for
such fabulous prices. Mr.. Van
horn paid $25, 900 90 for a 40 acre
grove two years ago, and now
refuses $45, 10000 for t. He
says he sold nearly $4,000 worth
of fruit this season. Mr.. Geo.
WILDER paid $751; 900 for Is acres
and sold this years crop of
oranges for $4,000, net.
I have visited six or eight
groves here that sold for $4,000
to $4,000, per acre. And all
pay fifteen per cent and up
ward interest on investments.
No wonder every body here is
orange crazy. Thousands o f
acres have been set to orange
trees this spring. several of them
one hundred acre groves that /
passed through. Mr.. Vanhorn
sold his grapefruit for one dol
lar per crate. F. O. B, and his
common Oranges $1.15, his late
Heart Tariff four to four fifty
on the trees. The young stock
sells $3.50 each. one year old
buds, and ST. so for two year old
buds.
This township is settled up
with rich "Yanks" from various
parts of the icey North, and they
don't hesitate to pay good wages,
about two dollars per day for
common laborers. This letter is
simply a story Of my travels
and the interesting things | saw
on journey that will interest all
people 40 Or so years young.
The young man or young lady,
rich or poor, of extraordinary
accomplishments, can find
pleasant and profitable employ
ment here.
There are no idol WOrShlpers
here. They have good churches
and spacious schools. My eyes
never grow weary looking at
this beautiful God-blessed land.
In Avon Park I found a very
nice comming town without mos
quitos or negroes. Last night i,
the only night / have spent in
two months without being an
noyed with insects.
There is two banks and two

SUBCONTRACTORS in
PROTECTIVE SOCIETY
Organization Is incorporated and Is
in the Nature Of a Credit
Bureau.

Articles of incorporation for the Sub
contractors Protective Association
have been placed on file in the office
of the recorder of deeds. The organi-
cation is in the nature of credit as
ISOLATION. and the bylaws provide for
a credit bureau which will have at the
disposal of its members accurate in
formation concerning the credit and
standing of contractors.
Under the existing law, known as
the mechanics lein act, il is claimed
to be impossible for the subcontractor
to recover for work done without put
ting himself to great expense. Under
the law. the owners of buildings erect
ed are protected. as they pay only for
actual value received as the work is
completed. The interests of the con-
tractors under this law are said to
be equally well taken care of. as they
receive payments In installments as
the work of the building progresses.
But subcontractors and material sup
ply firms and individuals are said to
be without protection from dishonest
and incapable contractors.
The new association will urge a more
effective lien law. There are 800 sub
contractors in the District. of whom
about 100 have signified their intention
to join the new association. The follow
ing officers We been elected: Edgar r
S. Embrey, president; Otto l. Wolfstein-
err, vice president: L. Percy West, treas
urer. and the following directors: J..
Carey King, George Pitt. Walter c.
Eisinger. George E. Potter. Charles E.
Coberth. and Fred J. White. Henry A.
Palmer. of Providence, r. l.. has been
selected by the directors to serve as sec
rotary. and Daniel w. O'Donoghue has
been appointed general counsel.

THE OPEN FORUM
Not q City of Sums.

To The Editor-Your editorial this
morning on the reformation OF non
existent sIums afforded relief to a per-
picked population. / have lived IN wash
ington a good many years and know the
town pretty well. knew that the Cap
itaI held some very rich persons, in
whose midst or proximity dweIt some
very poor persons.
But not until the Lady Summers had
invaded certain alleys did l know that
Washington had a slum problem. Poor
persons naturally dwell in poorer in
expensive, II YOU wish-houses. Costli-
ness of housing Is obviated by the use OF
cheap or Anticipated buildings near to
homes far removed from urban CEN
tiers. The poor persons who are un-
willing to occupy homes removed Tar
from urban centers must utilize the
cheap or antiquated buildings.
There are numerous persons so dis
posed in Washington. They are to be
pitied or censured. according to the
viewpoint of the observer.
But to pretend that few settlers in
isolated alleys make a slum problem in
Washington is-well, Unwarranted- Oi
course, all of us would rather have parks
than cheap or antiquated dwellings; and
IL we can replace every inadequate
house with grass, trees, and flowers, II
will be very delightful Until tina,
felicitous system of improvement comes,
however, let tus not advertise Washing
ton as a city of slums, for it is not.

An editor is a tired. nervous man who
decides what shall go into a newspaper
and explains why it got in afterwards.
The editor works upstairs at an antique
desk entirely surrounded by old papers,
and produces the results which enable
the business manager to sit down stairs
in a room fitted with mahogany furniture
and a Persian rug and to respond to
toasts at great banQuets in solemn state
and a dress suit
II is the editors duty to feel the pulse
of the world and hold the stethoscope
to business: to assist at the birth Of
history, to translate the present, refute
the past, and arrange the future: to IL
illuminate ignorance, reward merit. put
the spotlight on villany and the pulmotor
on reform: TO make statesmen and dis
sicste demaRogues, to elect Presidents
crown heroes and secure bigger salaries
for baseball pitchers; to act as an alarm
clock for public opinion, as an elevator
for. political candidates and as goat
for every man who says something IN
a careless moment and who repents later
by declaring that he was misquoted: to
embalm truth, annihilate error, to bring
the national tear for great misfortunes
and the national laugh at great foolish
nesses.
For doing all this some editors get
as much as seoo a month.
An editor can lower a tariff, head on
war. harness the wrath Of the whole
PEOPLE. and raise a million dollars for
flood sufferers.
And some editors are SO powerful that
they can raise their own salaries SO a
week.

ers of foreign securities. Its annual
report contains an admirably concise
history of the foreign debts of prsc-
tically all the Latin-American states, as
well as the lesser debtor nations OF
Europe
From time to time European dis
patches state that Great Britain or some
other lending nation is about to pro-
coed vigorously for the collection OF
bonded Indebtedness from delinquent
Central-Ameriean state The chances
are that the powerful influence of the
Corporation of Foreign Bondholders
is responsible for this. From this
quarter the United States is constantly
informed that it is bound either TO
make the delinquent republics of Gen.

let the creditors collect.
The fiscal protectorate established
by the United States in Santo Do

corporation. Its activities are by no
means confined to Latin-American gov
