OH. The total resources of the
banks: from 1S,3OO,252 to SS5,
30O,5O
Between 1900 and 1910 the pop
ulation of the United States in
creased 81 per cent. During the
same period the population of
Florida increased 42.4 per cent.
Thus Florida's population in
creased twice as rapidly as that of
the entire country.
It's rate of increase was greater
than that of any other State east
of the Mississippi River.
The material advance of the
State as illustrated in the increase
in agricultural wealth was in keep
ing with this growth in population.
In the ten years 1900 to 1910
the increase in value of farm lands
in the United States was 11S per
cent. During the same period
the gain in Florida was 203 per
cent.
Between 1900 and 1910 the in
crease in the value of farm build
ings in the United States was II
per cent. In the same time the
gain in Florida was IA per cent.
Prosperity begets prosperity.
The momentum of growth swells
with an accclerating pace.
1.-The Call of Florida" has been
heard throughout the land. The
gain in its population during the
last ten years has been merely the
advance guard of the pioneers.
For every hundred persons who
were even thinking of Florida ten
years ago, thousand persons are
now studying the State with a
view 10 making it their home.
In the past people thought of
Florida mainly for its ideal eli
mate, its outdoor life amid flow
ers and palms in the months when
biting, blasting blizzares made
life almost uncomfortable in other
sections.
Or they thought of it as a place
which could produce oranges and
grapefruit.
Now they think of Florida not
only for these reasons, but also
because they realize that it possess
es a variety of resources which
make possible the widest and most
profitable diversity of agriculture
and manufactures. Tampa Tru-

The commission plan for States
might be a worthy change. 1t is
known that it could be no worse
for some States than the form now
in vogue.
The Bee, Omaha, Neb. If the
commission plan for States is

cause it may be set down as certain
that Nebraska will not long lag in

There is in the last analysis real

should not prove as effectual in the
affairs of States as of cities. The

The entire State of Florida is

is growing as rapidly as that of
South Florida.

NOTES AND GLEANINGS

Ramie, or China grass, the fibre Of which is entering more and more into dress goods, thread, yarns ana mtlIin- cry, can now be grown on suitable soils from Maryland to Texas, in Cali fornia, and in Porto Rico. Dr. Ly- ster II. Dewey, botanist in charge of fibre investigations at Washington, re. ports that the necessity of separat- ing the fibre from the woody inner DOT ton of the ramie stalk, and from the ,hin outer bark, has hitherto made it impossible to produce the material with profit outside of Oriental coun' tries having cheap skilled hand labor. But now three different European com panies are advertising amchines for barking the green stalks, and ma chine built in this country to decorti' cate the dry stalks has proved success full in rather extensive trials" If 1t works in practice, tremendous growth in the production of raLie goods is assured.

BEFoGGING THE CANAL TOLLS QUESTION.

Of all animals, the pig seems to be most susceptible to the moral and mental pain of death" Sir James Crichton-Browne, r. R. S., said in his adress before the Model Abattoir So ciety at the Royal Society of Arts on Dec. '. Sir James recalls the chapter in Jude the Obscure" in which is de- picted with horrible fidelity "every step in the sacrifice of the cottage porker in the dreary light of snowy dawn" Why do not the anti-vivisec- tionists leave off their pursuit of the doctors who use anaesthetics at every stage of their experimentation, and enter the hundreds of private slaugh- ter houses from which issue the screams of terror of pigs in the hands of their "stickers?" T he custom in Paris is to stun the pig before it is stuck. This is easy, Sir James re- marks, as the skull of the pig is com. paratively soft-"much softer than that of the sheep"
