Florida Needs
Six And Seven
Per Cent Money

Jacksonville, May declaring
that Florida needs a law providing
for and per cent money to ia
cilitate it's development, Donald
Woodruff, of Chicago. who is the
secretary and treasurer of the Or
lando Development Company, talked
at the Aragon hotel last night
about the land values in the state
and the prospects for the coming
years of prosperity sure to follow
the European war.
Mr.. Woodrum says that his COM
pany owns $4,000 acres of land in
Orange and Seminole counties, and
is not trying to sell it. They bought
it recently as an investment and
will hold it as such. He declared
that in his opinion land values in
Florida had already reached rock
bottom and would from now on tend
toward a rise, this he based on the
general prosperity about due in the
United States and particularly that
which is bound to follow the close
of the European war.
The Chicagoan said that when
Northern capital can be induced to
operate within the state and he
meant capable financiers, for in his
opinion, the days of the LAND
sharks" of Florida are things of the
past, the state will need cheaper
money or its development will be
retarded Northern and Western
bankers look with much distrust up
on a mortgage that bears eight and
ten per cent legal interest, he claims
and said that when the bankers OF
the cities are spoken to about a ten
per cent mortgage in this state they
say: "Way down in Florida, nc
wonder!" and they don't deal in the
mortgage.

THIS LANCE SYSTEM IS TO BE
INAUGURATED BY THE NEW
CHAMBER OF COMMENCE OF
LAKELAND

Miami, May Am interesting
and enthusiastic meeting of the
mercantile bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce was held yesterday after
noon in the chamber rooms. One of
the important steps taken up was
that of providing for the merchants
to include in their advertising in
the newspapers and other publica-
tions: Members Miami Chamber of
Commerce"
In this connection Chairman
Smith pointed out the advantages
which would be given both the or
ganization and the merchant, saying
that new customers here in the win
ter months would naturally purchase
their articles from live dealer, af-
filiated with a live organization.
Another feature of the meeting
was the enthusiasm evidenced by
the merchants over the credit rat
ING system in connection with the
mercantile bureau. The merchants
are taking considerable interest in
the credit rating, and many of them
have already prepared lists of their
credit customers together with their
standing. The effect of this has al
ready been shown by the fact that
several old accounts have been wip-
ed off the books, they declared,
which indicates that the customers
are becoming interested in getting
good ratings.

ROADS AS CROP PRO-
DUCERS.

That an improved road will
increase vastly the productive
ness OF the area through which it
runs has now been satisfactorily
demonstrated by studies con-
Quoted by the United States De
partment of Agriculture in Vir-
ginia. Conditions in Spotsyl-
vania county were investigated
with particular care and the re-
suits have proved surprising.
In 1909 the county voted $780,
600 to improve 40 miles OF road.
Two years after the completion
OF this work the railroad took
away in IL months from Fred
cricksburg, the county seat, H.
600 tons OF agricultural and for
est products hauled over the
highways of that town.
Before the improvement OF
the roads this total was only
10000 tons annually; in other
words, the quantity OF the coun-
lty's produce had risen more than
45 per cent. Still more interest
ing. however, is the increase
shown in the quantity of dairy
products. In 1909 these amount
ed to II4,SI5 pounds; in 1911 to
273,O2S pounds. an increase of
practically I4o per cent in two
years. In the same time ship
ments of wheat had increased 50
per cent, tobacco 81 per cent,
and lumber and other forests
products 48 per cent.
In addition to this increase in
quantity the cost of hauling each
lton of produce was materially
reduced. In other words, the
farmer not only produced more
cheaply, for the cost of transpor-
tation to market is of course an
important factor in the cost of
production. From this point of
view it is estimated that the
100000 spent in improving
roads in Spotsylvania county
saved the farmers of that county
l$4I,oo a year.
| In the past two years the traf-
lfic studies of the federal experts
show that approximately an av-
erage of $4,000 tons of outgoing
products were hauled over the
The Industrial Survey just
completed shows what a crying
necessity there is for Florida to
lproduce more than she does out
Iof the soil. Take for example
the item of eggs and poultry ev-
cry year. The amount paid for
this one item in a year is ST., 49,
500 And this in the face of the
fact that Florida is the best place
in the world to produce poultry
and eggs!
Then there is another item to
preserved and canned foods.
There is shipped into this city
every year S0ooS2o worth from
other States. And do YOU know
where much of this comes from
1t comes all the way from Cali
fornia. We are buying canned
goods and preserves, shipping
them clear across the continent
to a country that can raise just
as good vegetables, jut as
good preserves as can be made
in California and make them jus,
as cheaply.-Jacksonvile Metro

UNIQUE WAY TO LEARN
HOW RUSSIAN SOLDIERS
ARE TREATED
(By Associated Press. }

Petrograd, April 30-More than
three hundred letters from Russian
soldiers hav preached prominent
Petrograd woman in response to a
note which she enclosed in large
number of hampers of food which
she sent to the front few weeks
ago. She had expressed a desire to
get some letters from the front
which would show what the Ordin-
airy Russian soldier really thought,
instead of the stereotyped letters of
thanks with which the soldiers or
dinarily acknowledge gifts from per-
SONS of higher social station. Ac-
cordingly she signed the notes
which she enclosed with the names
of her three maid-servants, making
it appear as if thse young women
had slipped the notes into the hamp-
ers surreptitiously. The receivers
were asked to reply to these maid
servants and tell them how they
were 1arlng Ill lne WAL
The plan worked well. Fifty Of
the replies are to publish in book
form shortly. Several soldiers re-
piled in verse. Several made love in

picture of himself:

sack looks like. He is not hand

an eagle, and whether the foe he

sack is small, but brave. Small is
