FLORIDA SCORES AGAIN
Is the Garden Spot of the Nation
Says Toronto Paper

| Florida is the Nations Gardel
Spot, according to an article il
the Toronto, Canada, Globe o
September l, commenting upor
the exhibit the agricultural de
partment of the Atlantic Coast
Lime railway has now on the roao
visiting the fairs in New England
states and Canada. The Globe
comments upon the exhibit as fol
lows:
"A most realistic idea of those
fertile soils that lie along the At.
lantic Coast Line is lllustriously
conveyed to exhibition visitor by
exemplary products, which thrive
in abundance in part of the coun-
try. If the exhibit represents
half the realty the country may
well be designated as The Ma
tion's Garden Spot The lusci-
ous tropical fruits which may be
seen on exhibition would surely
cause anyone's mouth to water,
for not only have they oranges,
grapefruit and pineapples, but
avocados, sapadillos, guavas, CO.
coanuts, and scores of others.
"But whether the tiller of the
soil be lover of tropical products
or others, heis afforded by going
to the Garden Spot a rare choice.
Watermelons, wheat, cotton and a
hundred and one things that would
gladden. the heart of farmer or
the fruit grower may he grown.
"Therefore it is of the utmost
importance to the tiller of the soil,
who hopes by change of location
to better his condition, to select a
section of country as this, that
will answer all requirements ne to
fertility of land, climatic condi-
tions that will not deprive his
family of any church or school
privileges they have previously
enjoyed.

Changes in Game LalUs

All of Florida's game and fish
laws have been changed with an
idea of protecting the game of the
state. The last legislature passed
two important bills, one of which
created the Office of game and fish
warden for the state and the other
for The protection of the game and
fish of the state.
The state game and fish warden
is to have an Office at Tallahassee
or in other place selected by the
governor. He is to name a war;
den for each county with the con-
sent of the governor. These of
ficers are to look after the en-
forcement of the laws in regard to
fish and game. Sheriffs, deputy
sheriffs, marshals, constables and
policemen are all made excfficio
game wardens.
+ Open and closed seasons arc
established for the protection of

ANOTHER ENTERPRISE
Punfa Gorda Packing and Preserving
Compay a Local Concern

And now comes another industry
for Pnnta Gorda. This one is ss
sured since almost sufficient stool
to warrant its incorporation has
already been subscribed. W.
speak of the Punta Gorda Packing
and Preserving Company. 1t i:
the sort of industry that is needed
here and one that will 90. Its
stock will be owned by Punta
Gordans except, perhaps, some
shares to be taken by nonresident
property holders; its officers will
be Punta Gordans; its supplies
will be furnished by people living
in and about Pdnta Gorda; its
work will be done by Punta Cor
dams, and every stockholder will
have voice in the conduct of its
affairs.
The stockholders will have the
operation of the plant under their
very eyes, and they will be able to
see Just what their money is doing
and how it is secured. The plant
will be large enough to can or
preserve all the tomatoes, guavas,
pineappies, and the like, that are
grown in this vicinity, and the
packing department will enable
the growers to have their fruits
packed and shipped in such condit-
ion as to warrant the highest price.
Every grower, every business
man, professional man, clerk, lab
orer, fisherman, in short every
man in the entire district to be af-
fected by the factory, should take
from one to ten shares, as every
will be boo ster, and
an aggregation of boosters will
push the plant to success. The
shares, we are informed, are $40
each, and the assessments on the
subscriptions are TO be called in
only as fast as the work on the
plant requires. Our own money
will employ our own men, and the
plant will be kept running by pro-
ducts of our own husbandmen.
This is one industry which cannot
fail of success, and one that will
make for the material advancement
of the city.

add to her sufferings and goodness

that.
1t is the aim and purpose of the
modern sanitarian and sanitary
boards and organizations..to educate
the housewife, to show her how to
make her home clean in the scien-
tifc and safe meaning of the
word. With the homes of Flori-
da scientifically clean, the death
rate from typhoid fever would
fall close to the vanishing point.
Malaria would diminish to the de-
gree of becoming a medical curl
osity, and most of the deaths of
Florida's residents would be the
results of unavoidable accidents
or of old age.
Florida should be one of the
most healthful states in the Union.

location in balmy climate, which

son to debar him from contending

worrying unnecessarily. At the
next session of the legislature the

strongly pushed forward, and who

HOW THE STATE is
GROWING
EVIDENCES OF DEVELOPMENT
Progress is Being Made in Every
Section

4
In making a tour of tho State o.
Florida, evidences of many i'm
provements may readily be seen
on every hand; improvements il
rail and dirt roads, activities in city
building, citrus fruit and vegetable
culture as we'll as agricultural pur.
suits in general. From one enc
of the state to the other there il
an awakening spirit as to the i'm
provement of the soil, better cul'
tivation, wider diversifcation of
crops and the general advance
ment of farms for tenants as well
as farm owners, no one familiar
with Florida, ten years ago, can
travel through it in day time
without being impressed with the
striking change that is taking
place in the diversifcation of farm
ing and the improvement of farm
homes. The better painting of
farm houses, the attractiveness of
the yards, appearance of fences
and outbuildings, will be very
noticeable. Manufacturing COM
panies have been formed for the
production of articles which ten
years ago would never have been
considered feasible and many great
industrial enterprises are under
way. Men everywhere through
out the state are viewing with a
broad vision limitlesa opportuni-
ties for development. They are
actively at work doing and plan
ming things in accordance with
the wealth and opportunities which
the resources of the state justify. !
There is no longer to be found
anywhere in the state any pessim-
ism as to its future, any wavering
in thought even as to the fact that
it is the most inviting field for
men Of brains, energy and capital
in the world. Business men rea-
ize that there may be from time
20 time temporary halts in the
march of progress, and they furth-
,r realize that the prosperity of
his state has been great and con-
;inuous for the past ten years.
One of the most interesting fea-
ures is the number of men from
,ther sections of the country spy
ng out land, investigating its op-
for Investment, and in
resting as we'll as investigating.
)ne can scarcely pick up u state
,aper without noting the arrivals
lere and there of capitalists, or
nen representing capital, from
'ther sections, ,and land buyers are
oming in from everywhere, and
good many tracts are being sold
or colonization purposes.

A clean home is more to be de-
sired than great riches, for un-
cleanness and long life don't travel
far together.
Every Florida home-keeper
would bristle with indignation at
the suggestion that her house was
not a model of cleanness. Most
homes are clean, scrupuously
clean, to the non medical observer.
The floors are swept and the bric-
a-brac is busted; there is the reg
ular cleaning day for the sleeping
rooms each week; the dining and
living rooms get theirs every day.
The good woman of the house de-
lights to tell of the heavy burdens
she bears, many of them entirely
unnecessary and self-imposed, in
keeping her indoor kingdom in fit
condition. Then there is the an
nual "house-cleaning'' time, which
brings sadness to mankind and a
kind of imperial Joy to woman
kind, for it is then that she asserts
her royal prerogatives and makes
home bed!am while it lasts.
But, land how many stories may
have "but" rs a sort of distgur-
ing sequel to spoil them) with all
the scrubbing and sweeping and
busting, many, too many, homes
are not clean, sanitarily clean. In
the hidden corners which are
reached once or twice year, per-
haps never reached at all, thin lay
ers of dust accumulate, where dis
ease bringing germs love to con-
gregate and multiply until a sud
den draft gives them opportunity
to accomplish their death-dealing
mission in the world.
The kitchen is clean, scrubbed
until the paint is worn thin on
Dashboard, and door frames, but
the flies are free to enter through
the unscreened windows from the
garbage can just outside, or from
places even more disgusting. They
are free to alight on uncovered
food and to leave on it unmenticn-
able filth. that has clung to their
feet from previous and recent
wanderings. They come in at the
open and uncovered pantry win
dow to pollute tonight's dinner
or tommorrow's break fast.
The living room, the library
and the bedrooms, ablaze with
light, invite the mosquito TO enter
from the darkness of the outside
night, and to infect the household
with the poison of malaria. Many
good housekeepers, even in en-
lightened Florida, fail TO see the
necessity of window screens and
screens for outside doors. To
them screens over the beds are
sufficient and they are put up to
avoid the discomforts IF an all
night fight with mosquitoes and
not for sanitary reasons. To them
the screened porch is luxury,
not a necessity.
And when in the absence of
screens about the earth closets
outside but near to the house, of
screens on doors and windows and,
sometimes, over the beds, disease
and death come into these screen
less homes, they are resignedly
taken as mysterious dispensations
of an all.wise Providence, a kind
of discipline which in the end,
somehow or other, works out a
higher individual spirituality.
The worst of it is that the poor
housewife does not realize that
she has been to blame. Pephaps
it is fortunate, after it is all over,
hat she does not know. 1t would

penalties are provided for any vio-
lations of these different provis-
ions. The propagating periods
of all animals of the state are set
aside as closed seasons. No hunt
er is permitted to take more than
ten pairs of any kind of game
birds.
1t is provided in the act that the
title to all wild game and birds in
the state shall vest in the state for
the purpose of giving the state the
power to protect them.
1t is provided that any land
owner may hunt upon his lands
without license during the open
season for any and all kinds Of
game. Residents of the state may
secure hunting license from the
county indge for the county for
the price of one dollar. The ap-
pllcant must show his or her abil-
ity to write his or her own name,
must give color, color of eyes and
hair, place of residence and other
marks of Identification.
The county judge may also grant
any resident state hunting IL
cense for the sum of three dollars,
provided the same details are car
ried out as given for the securing
of county license. This state Ii
cense will entitle the hnnter to
take game or fish in any county in
the state. Non-residents may Sc
cure license under the same con-
ditions and at the same place, but
must pay the sum of fifteen dol
lars in fees.
When hunter obtains license
it entities him to hunt only during
the remainder of the season then
open. If the license is secured
during the closed season the
holder may use it to hunt during
the entire succeeding open season.
There is to be a game and bird
protection fund out of which
the expense of the warden and
deputy wardens are paid which
are not otherwise provided for.
This fund will be kept up bycollec-
tion of fees, fines, etc. Every year
all money in this fund in excess of
S5, 900 shall be turned over to the
state treasurer to be added to the
state school fund.
Several other changes in the old
laws have been made. Hunters
who have looked over the new laws
declare that all sportsmen would
do we'll to make careful study of
the new provisions before indulg-
Ing in any shooting this fall.
They also. declare that while the
law is drastic in some provisions it
will do much to protect the game
and insure hunting for many years
to come. Jacksonville Metropolis
