NEW ADVERTISING PLAN
ADVANCED FOR FLORIDA

A plan whereby Florida would be
extensively advertised through the
national publications at no cost
whatever is being discussed by Guy
V. Warren, member of the Jackson
Vile Tourist and Convention Blu
reau. and through the bureau steps
may be taken to further the idea, as
Mr.. Warren merely submitted 1t in
an Informal way this morning to
Manager Richardson for what it was
worth.
at is a well known fact" says Mr..
Warren. that Florida offers some of
the best sport in the country, and
anglers and nimrods from all over
the country come here every winter.
Now this morning I saw in this
months issue of Field and Stream
an article about Florida. 1t is my
idea that this kind of publicity is
better than any that could be
bought.
when l was boy l formed de-
sires that Iahve carried out to visit
certain places for the sport these
places offered. Tt would be well to
have articles like this appear from
time to time, and my idea is to get
some writer who is sojourning in
this section to become interested in
these things and entertain him. He
would then be able to catch the real
life of a story which he could
write"
Mr.. Warren merely submitted this
idea to Mr.. Richardson in an inform
al sort of way. and it was accepted
as being a valuable idea. If writers
could be entertained and shown

ing places around this city it is the
idea Of the Tourist and Convention
Bureau members that they would be
willing to spend more time in this

WILL FIGHT WILSON

The Staats-Zeitung describes tn,
recent German meeting at Coopel
Union as the first step in a grea
campaign against the denomination
Of President Wilson.
All the German language news
papers give great space to this meet
ing. in which John Brisben Walker
was Historically applauded when he
denounced the president of the
United States as the betrayer Of the
American people. All Of them agree
with the Staats-Zcitung in its dra-
matte assertion that the die is
cast" meaning that henceforth all
the political power that the German
propaganda can exert will be swung
against President Wilson.
This organized German hostility
to the president is often referred to
as iece of exceptionally good poll
cial fortne for Mr.. Wilson. To the
World this seems q very cheap and
superficial view of a most serious
situation which transcends the poll
tical fortunes Of any man, however
eminent, or however exalted in Of
fee.
Under the mask provided by hy-
phenated citizens in this country,
G rnan agents have freely conspired
to involve the United States in war
with Mexico. They have conspired
against American shipping, against
American industry, against Ameri-
can finance, against the lives and
property of American citizens and
AGAINST the American government
itself. In every controversy between
the United States and Germany this
hyphenated citizenship has arrayed
itself on Germany's side. In it's
estimation the lives of Americans, in
no matter what number, are without
value or Importance in comparison
with tie ultimate triumph of a Ger
man autocracy and it's domination
of Europe it's estimation the most
sacred rights of the United States
are rubbish in comparison with Ger
many's will to power.
This is form of disloyalty that
neither the president nor congress
nor the court can deal with. Only
the loyal citizenship of the republic
can deal with it, and If that citizen
ship is false to its own ideals the
nation must pay the penalty. No
republic can survive except as it's
foundation stones are laid deep in
the hearts of it's psople.-New York

talking together, sound the note of
mutual helpfulness. Each keeps his
secrets of success to himself Now
and then one may drop a hint that
may by chance prove valuable to his
hearers, but he does not mean to do
even that, because the rule is for each
to work out his own salvation.
Amateur chicken raisers, on the
other hand, are an inspiring example
of altruism. When one discovers a
new cure for the pip he hastens to
spread the information among his
friends and neighbors, who are also
wrestling with the pip evil. If an
