A RIGHT START

1t is generally recognized tina
the truckers and growers Of
this section made the right star
when they met for the organize
ton of an association for mutua
protection and benefit. Not only
will individuals be benefited but
the entire community will fee
the results.
The only way in which truck,
ing can be carried on on any scale
OF Importance is through carlot
shipments which later will result
in t. o. b. sales. At present the
marketing Of carlots to advantage
will absorb the attention of the
association very largely.
The effect on the future Of the
section will also be important as
inexperienced men, likewise
truckers coming to this locality
from other parts of the State,
will be attracted by the advantage
es OF such methods as the associa-
ton will establish.
New men especially will feel
that in the organization they have
something to tie to, where they
may have the benefit Of the ex-
perience of older growers. 1t
naturally will affect the decision
Of many prospective settlers, be-
side showing that there is a pro
gressive citizenship able to har--
nonize on their common interest.
Every trucker and grower in
me section should be actively rep
resented at the next meeting.

BRILLIANT EXEMPLARs

Fortunate Lake county! Bless
ed Leesburg! Happy Eustis!
For years, every county com,
missioner of Lake county has felt
and acted as if the county's bus,
mess and interests were his own.
No county in the state has had
its affairs better administered.
Not the remotest suspicion of
graft has ever attached to any of
Lakes county commissioners.
They have been a noble example
for all the other county commits
sioners of the state 10 emulate.
The same commentator may
justly be given to the municipal
authorities of Leesburg and Eus-
It's, the chief towns of Lake
county. The honesty, loyalty
and ability with which the pub
tic affairs Of those two towns
nave been conducted present
model for every municipality in
florida or elsewhere.

The -Tropie Florida Devel-
opment Year Book, complied by

as a supplement to the Tampa

geographically and otherwise.
1t reflects credit upon the pub

and it contains a vast amount of
information about Florida which
may be calculated to aid the eff
fort at development that is now
universal in the state.

too positive in his conviction, too
