"Can | Afford to
Buy Real
EState?"
L5G5GJG5EgGJGgG5E5E5

IAN you expect to be considered as one of
- the substantial citizens of your commu-
ntV when you do not own any real es-
tate? Real estate has such body and per-
manent worth to it that ones financial stand
ing is largely based on the amount of real es-
tate that he owns. Ownership of real estate
is probably the highest commentary upon
a man'sWorth as a citizen.
IAN you say in truth that north Fulton
~ County acreage has reached its limit in
value? Even if you suspect it, your appre-
tensions are not founded on facts Everything
points to higher values and remarkable growth
during the coming years.
IAN you say acreage tracts ranging from
~ to IA acres, near Silver Lake, are not
we'll located? If you doubt it then you
depreCiate the influence of magnificent homes,
cIubhouses, macadamized driveways and the
effect of improvements that come with more
people, more wealth and ambition for devel-
opment.
IAN you say that the terms are hard? A
- hundred dollars cash and ten dollars per
month will buy some of these tracts The
terms fixed on all of them is one-tenth cash
and the balance extending over a period OF
five years.
IAN you say that you are not able to buy
- one of them? If you do, you doubt your
own ability and depreciate your own ca
paCity. Any man with muscle and brain that
God has endowed him with, however hard his
lot may seem to have been, is capable of buy
ing one of these tracts.
1ANyou afford TO miss this chance? Quite
- number of these tracts have been Sold
There are others unsold that are just as
desirable and have the value in them relatively
just as much as any of those that have been
sold.

A Reasonable View

Some of our people are under
the impression that the editor dis
likes cows-he does--when they
are left to roam the streets, Great
ing breeding place for flies and
eat the refuse that we as humans
have condemned. That which has
gone beyond our ability to use,
because it is not safe for our sys-
tenn is even greater danger when
fed to the cows, for then we allow
the contamination of the milk
whice Infants drink-increasing
the number of deaths amongst in
fants.
Aside from that Mulberry is no
longer a country village with our
government and should shoulder
the responsibility which comes to
towns that grow-enforce ordi-
.nances that guard the health of its
people and it is hoped that when
the city election, on Tuesday,
February 4th, comes along a safe
majority for the enforcement Of
the ordinance will be had. Null

PROPOSED STATE DIVISION
Movement Favoring Deciding the
Proposition by a Popular Vote

A movement to allow the peo-
pie of Florida to vote on State di-
vision and the creation of West
Florida as State is being organ
lzed in Pensacola.
The constitution of the United
States does not provide that there
shall be a vote of the people be-
fore State is divided. 1t is sim.
ply provided that no State shall
be divided without the consent of
the legislature and of Congress.
However, as the Florida legisla-
ture will hardly give its consent
before the people express them
selves on the matter, it is more
than likely that there will be vote
of the people on the matter before
the Legislature acts, it is argued.
The legislature could refer the
matter to the people to be voted
on in the next general election in
1914. Then If the people favored
the proposition the legislature of
1915 could pass the act giving its
consent.
The only thing that would then
remain to be done would be to
have the. act creating the State
of West Florida passed by Con-
gress. Congress would hardly re-
fuse to pass the act if the people
should vote FOR the proposition in
a generalt ction, it is declared.

The people of south Florida
live in a land still young and fresh
with opportunity. They realize
there is a larger work to do-that
a greater south Florida is the vi
sion of their dreams. They are
welded into a broad, intelligent,
self-controlled citizenship-thes
scendants of every nation, with
interests and ambitions now iden-
tical. Their commercial clubs
are standing together. They have
learned how to cooperate. They
have recognized their interdepen-

city is not an infringement upon the
rights of another city. They have
imblbed the truth that enterprise

stimulates enterprise in every
city, county or state;. that each
community, while it has its
own particular affairs, its vary

public spirit cannot broaden its
legitimate interests without in
some measure giving impetus and

Some Tree-PlantingIdeas

Several of our State exchanges,
and the Miami Herald particular
ly, advocate the planting of shade
trees wherever the county or the
municipality has few feet of soil
adapted to the purpose.
These insist that shade trees
should be planted along the roads,
on the streets, in the parks and
everywhere wherever a tree can
be made to grow.
With all the arguments advanced
we are in full sympathy, and with
the spirit displayed we are in
hearty agreement, but the pfopo-
sition as it stands calls for more
talk.
In the first place, tree that
lacks attention is as sad sight as
consumptive; sickly tree in
sists always that climate or soil is
bad to the careless eye; to the
observant it carries serious re-
Election on the industry or the
foresight Of the people responsible
for its presence.
If the trees are to be planted there
should be diligent care for them
and full protection, or the effect is
decidedly bad. Every boy is
anxious to destroy-see that he
curbs this instinct and teach him a
lesson while protecting the tree.
We insist that no effort at plant
ing should be made until care has
been taken to punish any wilful
attack on that tree-fine the boys

Thirteen years ago Pensacola

father and send the loafer to jail d
few times, and the tree will be- al
! lowed to grow and become cred
it those who planted it.
There should be care and know
ledge used so that the tree chosen
for certain location be adapted
to soiI-some trees want plenty Of
water, and some insist on keeping
their feet dry. To plant under d
wholesale order without regard to
taste and fitness is to condemn
ourselves.
We need not plant for shade on
ly in Florida-we have many mag
niicent trees that give fruit as
we'll as shade.
Investment in tree is as legiti-
mate and as certain as the issue cf
bonds for public improvements,
hut both demand Judgment and
care if we are to enjoy the fruits
from them.
Why plant for shade only when
we can have fruit alsos
In Europe and in many States of
the Union vines and trees are safe
without the protection of fences to
shut out the public; it should be
so here, and it would be if public
opinion held that the taking of
fruit was theft, as we'll as the tax
ing of other property; we have the
law and only need that it be en-
| forced.
In Virginia the highways are
lined by cherry trees in many
counties-in New England apple
trees stand along the roads, and
destructiveness halts at the call Of
public opinion.
What is the beginning? Let
each county and town provide q
plot for a tree nursery--as soon as
a beginning is made, appoint some
good man to plant and look after
the trees. The nursery might he
worked by the prisoners or the
arborcnlturist might bc paid d
sum sufficient to remunerate him
for his whole time and work. The
sales from such plot should very
largely return the expenditures.
After the trees have been plant
ed, let the caretaker look after
them-give him a wagon suited 10
his needs.
The right man could return ten
times his cost to the public-in Il
few years the Investment would
be returned fifty fold in money
and another fifty fold in the COM
fort given the public and the adj
vertisement of its products.
We are not in favor of multi-
plying officials or providing new
salaries, but If we are to begin the
planting of trees, we are in favor
of doing it well.
We repeat-a sickly, neglected
tree is neither comfortable nor
pleasant, nor does it advertise the
character of our people, of our
climate or of our soil to advantage,
A fourishing tree, properly
protected and cared for, delights
the eye, comforts the body and
invites the settler.
Don't do things by halves.
In many neighborhoods the peo-
pie along the roads would look
after the trees without expense to
the county--it might be made the
duty of The road superintendent.
But, in any case, public opinion
must demand that the trees be
cared for-this is a government
very largely by public opinion for
the freatest good to the greatest
number. Augustine Record.
