Overlooking. We believe the returns
would be highly gratifying.
There is no logical reason why
the people Of Iowa who go west and
to California in particular should
not go to Florida instead. The
climate of Florida is unsurpassed,
the opportunities for safe invest
ment better than in the west and
the expense of going and coming is
about half as expensive and about
half the time is required in making
the journey.
1.-The time is not far distant when
the people of this section will real
ize that fact as they have in many
other places and when they do the
Golden State will have no charms
when compared with the land of
flowers and sunshine and where the
opportunity is offered to drink of
the fountain of youth and where
men of seventy and eighty are the
proud fathers Of newborn babes. -

USE GRAPEFRUIT
INSTEAD OF SOUR MILK

A new and rather surprising use
for the juice of grapefruit is as a
substitute for sour milk in making
waffles, griddle cakes, mullins, bis
cults, cakes and other things.
Of course this method is barred
for reasons of economy in localities
where grapefruit is expensive. But
in the South, where they are cheap,
it has much to recommend it, par
ticularly in emergencies when a cup
of sour milk is lacking.
The acid equivalent of a cup of
sour milk is furnished by two-thirds
Of cup of grapefruit juice. The re-
naming one-third Of a cup Of liquid
necessary is made up by adding
water.
Some housewives who have tried
grapefruit juice believe it gives food
a flavor far superior to that obtain
ed by the use of sour milk. Others
think it is trifle too acid and
Observation-Disclosures.
At any rate, it is an experiment
we'll worth trying when the supply
Of sour milk runs short.-Chicagc
Examiner.

!: FlOrida'S Invitation

The better one becomes acquaint-
ed with Florida the stronger he be-
comes impressed with the fact of it's
great future, when the outside world
has learned what a wonderful coun-
try Florida really is. Only of late
years has the state been sending
out attractive invitations to out
siders to come and learn. They are
responding to these invitations by
the thousands every day, and the
army of prospectors marching on to
Florida incldes the capitalist and
the laborer, the homeseeker and the
seeks of health, pleasure and profit.
The invitation has appealed to
them and as they come to know
more and more of Florida the
stronger will become the call to the
land of sunshine and flowers.
The Industrial Index, published
at Columbus, Ca, had lengthy ar
ticle last week on Florida, from
which the following is taken:
"The invitation of Florida ap-
peals like the murmur of a loiter-
ing breeez bearing the perfume of
flowers; like the CLINT of flowing
sail off a friendly shore; like the
reckoning smile of dancing sun
beam; like an airy voyage on a
feecy, dreamy cloud throughout a
long summer day; like romance
when the youthful heart is thrilled
by the wine of adventure: like a
password to peaceful scenes Of
plenty.
"A new note has come to domi-
nate Florida's invitation. Achieve
ment and success beckon to the de-
velopment of great opportunities. In
the last census decade, twice the
percentage of people accepted Flor
ida's invitation as went to other
states Of the union on an average.
And only a beginning has been
made in Florida. Development Is
but at the threshold of its wonder
full resources. Arcadia Enterprise.

MEN PREFER SMALL TOWNS

A great deal is said and written
about the desirability Of living in
great cities, but as matter of fact
there are no such things-simply
because men will not live in them
Even a great city is but a union of
communities like this. London, the
largest city in the world, grew out
of a collection of villages that still
retain much of their old identities.
Investigate Chicago on New York
or any toher great city and you will
find that, while men will huddle
within a small area for purposes Of
business, they insist on getting out
into the suburbs or into independ-
ent residential sections for the pur-
pose of living.
Now, living is the most impor-
tant business that a man has to do.
He picks out place for it with the
same care that he picks out a loca-
tion for factory, store or an Of
flee; and, whenever is possible for
him to pick out the place that he
likes the best, he picks out a small
town, unless he is one of those fool
ish persons who thinks that joy is
to be found in a cabaret and pleas
ure in a crowd. If the normal man
cannot take up his residence in a
small community, that is his dream
of the future.
Certainly those of us whose lines
are cast in smaller towns therefore
ought to congratulate ourselves
We have here one of the best towns
in the world, at least in the making
We don't have to move to a metro
polls to be happy, if our tastes ant
our desires are normal. We car
make ourselves happy and the Who'll,
town happy by trying to make thi.
not big town so much as a goot
one. Elk.

Business in the south is showing
a pronounced improvement, the de-
partment announced. Crop prospects
in the south were declared to be ex-
cellent. In the western and Pacific
states a general improvement was
noted The lumber industry was
said to be recovering and mining
was resuming on a larger scale.
Some depression still is selt in
New England, the middle atlantic
states and portions of the central
west, it was said. Although crop
conditions were declared satisfac-
tory, manufacturing except for for

Maine, however, was said to be the
only state in which there was any
real depression.
There was an increased demand
