Newspaper Publicity Started and
Kept it Up

Beyond question if the newspa-
pers of Florida and their influence
had been eliminated during the
past ten years, there would have
been no such development as we
have known-it would probably
have been one hundred per cent.
less; for, look at it as you please,
publicity has been the chief factor
in bringing about the development
of that period and the newspapers
have furnished the bulk Of the
publicity. This is not Dragging
it is the simple statement Of a
plain fact, and only the unintelli-
gent or the prejudiced will deny
it. In this connection we take
the following from the Tarpon
Springs Leader:
at has been our privilege at
various times to read newspapers
published in every section of the
United States, and consciously
and ,unconsciously we are always
comparing them with the newspa-
pefs of this state. Taking them
as a whole, we believe that the
newspapers of Florida devote
more space to the advancement
and development of their state
than any other state in the Union
This is not a haphazard statement
but a statement prompted by act.
ual observation and comparison.
"The great development that
has come to this state during the
past ten years has been brought
about largely by the newspapers
of the state. The success of the
great development enterprises has
been made possible in the first
place by the extensive advertising
of the state and by and through
the newspapers.
"For this service, the newspa-
pers neither ask nor receive any
reward other than the pleasing
consciousness of good work well
done. The man who uses the adj.

A Great Future for the Guava

The Enterprise recently receiv
ed a sample of guava paste made
by Mrs. John Hagan, of Charlotte
Harbor. This sample was mould
ed in the size and shape of pound
of creamery butter and is superior
to any of the imported paste we
have yet seen on the markets. This
sample was about the consistency
of cream cheese, of a dark red col
or, and as to taste, very tempt
ing morsel indeed. We are told
it is very simple and easy to make,
and it would undoubtedly sell
very readily at a profitable price
in all the markets of the country

In a number Of Florida newspa.
Ipers the people are being advised
to beware of the mail order
houses and also being urged to pat
ronize the local merchants. Other
newspapers have taken up the
matter and suggested that the To-
cal merchants, who are so intent
upon getting the home business
and so much worried over the in
vasion of the mail order house
catalogues and price lists, should
gef2very busy and advertise their
goods at home. This is the way to
keep the business at home. There

Quite a number of duties are

them Of failing to let everybody

Jessie Pyfrom, and Mrs. Hagan,
treasurer.
The president made an opening
address in which she briefly
touched on the scope of the gener-
al organization s work in it's for
ty-fve divisions, placing before

important lines Of work to take
up at once or lay upon the table
for consideration
1t was unanimously agreed to

tary Rules of Order, Temperance
instruction in the Public and Sun
day schools, Mothers meetings, two
reading courses in the union,

This guava paste furnishes an
other illustration of the great in
dustrial possibilities of our coun-
try when we are ready to put our
hands to the work of developing
them. There are very few acres
of drained land in DeSoto county
that will not produce guavas with
very little care. They are grow
ing wild all over the country. The
guava is the cheapest fruit in the
state, and one of the best food
products when properly prepared,
Every town in DeSoto county
should have guava groves and
canning and packing plants to
prepare them for the market.
Why not reverse the order of
things and have a stream of mon
ey flowing into this country for
our guava paste, marmalades, jel-
lies, syrup, etc? Moreover, there
is some satisfaction in producing
these things to consume at home
