NOT AS BAD AS IT APPEARS

Some people who read the daily
story of vessels destroyed by Ger
man submarines perhaps think that
the seas are being rapidly cleared Of
British ships and that it is only a
question of short time until there
will be none left AS a matter of
fact the total of the ships destroyed
by the submarines makes a very
small hole in the huge aggregate of
the British merchant and naval ma
rine. Read this from Premier AS
quith. taken from what he said yes
terday in the House of Commons:
1.-The British fleet was today far
stronger than at the beginning OF
the war, and to it's quiet and unob-
served but ubiquitous and all-power-
full activity is due the fact that the
seas are clear, or substantially
clear.
For, after ALL" said the Premier,
this submarine menace, serious as
it has appeared to be, is not going
to inflict fatal or substantial injury
on British trade. The seas are clear.
We have our supplies of food and
raw materials, upon which We aud
the rest of the country depend, flow
ing upon us in the same abundance
and with the same freedom; and I
may say without much exaggeration,
judging from the insurance rates and
other matters, with the same immun-
ity from serious hazards and risks
as in times of peace.

County Road Superintendent w.
N. MattoX has the county convict
camp at work on what is known as
Big Cypress, few miles southeast
of Byrd. This section of the new
county highway offers one of the
biggest undertakings in connection
with road construction work. At
this particular point through the
great swamp the right-of-way is be-
ing cut, width of fifty feet. The
grade for the brick paving is be-
ing thrown up, so as to be well
above high-water mark, and at
least six bitches will be put in to
take care of the large amount of
water at that point during the rainy
season. Mr.. Mattox is hurrying the
work so as to have it ready when
the paving gang working northyard
from Espanola reaches Bib cypress.
This is going to be one of the inter-
esting sections of the county high
way when the whole work is COM
pleted.-St Augustine Record.

TEN ACRES AND PROSPERITY

Nesting among the pines and pal.
mettoes, just on the western out
skirts of the city of Miami, in ex-
IRENE southern Florida, is a cozy
home surrounded by ten acres of
fertile land in seasonable crops,
while above the whispering of the
pines is heard the cheerful cackle
of the hens and in the shade re-
poses, in calm contentment, the gen.
tie Jerseys.
A picture worthy a Millais or Cor
OF. Six short years ago this beauty
spot was primeval forest. It's la
tent possibilities as yet unknown,
undreamed. Hundreds passed it,
with scarcely careless look; it was
like millions of similar places in the
wide domain of the sunshine State.
The small boy and thehunter heed
lessly chased the timid rabbit, or
the whirrins quail among the under
brush, and saw not the happiness
and wealth spurned by their hasty
t. 1t took Z woman, q gentle,
lovable, tender-hearted woman,
whose deep love for all things that
grow, from frail plants to frisky
animals, embracing all in her ma
ternal devotion, to vision the beau
ties and material benefits that lay
among the pines and under the
grasses, and to make these dreams
come true.
Coming down from the chilly
north in 1909, Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
Scales first assayed the new life in
theid adopted State with two lone
cows and a bunch of querulous
chickens. Difficulties rose as fast
as they were surmounted, but with
that faith born of the vision in her
heart, they pressed onward, and
today the road to success is smooth
and straight, growing brighter and
brighter with each rising sun.
From the two lone cows at the
beginning the herd has now grown
to nineteen of the best Jerseys in
the State, and while Mrs. Scales
loves all of them, she confesses to
being partial to the darling of the
herd" The bunch of chickens has
grown to three hundred head of
pure bred Plymouth Rocks, and
pigs to over a score, all self-sup-
porting and supported. while in the
fields are found in season every crop
and fruit that Florida can grow in
this latitude, and they find a ready
and eager market in the stalls in
the city.
Keeping abreast with the times,
Mrs. Scales has her cattle dipped to
rid them. of the pestilential tick,
erecting for this purpose a model
dipping vat on the place, nor is this
the only modern appliance, for every
labor-saving and. sanitary device
that has proved its usefulness will
be found in the dairy barn, chicken

yard and hog pasture as we'll as in
thecultivation of the fields.
Brains and energy are 60 per
cent of the formula used on this
place, and it has spelled prosperity
in gilded letters. The business part
Of the farm has been carried on by
Mrs. Scales for two years now, leav-
ing the harder work to help under
her supervision, and she has proved
master mind in this also. AS an
evidence of what she has done let
the lady herself speak:
81 set out two years ago to raise
$4,000 in the year on the farm"
she said.
And have you done it," was ask
ed.
81 was just $50 shy at the end of
the year." was her proud answer.
This remarkable showing is turn
ed to admiration when it is known
that Mrs. Scales is Sixty years

day.

poses, as we'll as to the man who
fears that he is getting too far
along in years to make a useful and
sustaining citizen.
Over in Lee County there is a
sixty-five years old young man rails
ing the best hogs in the county and
figuring on Ford to round them up
in the woods. Here is a sixty-year-
old young woman who has found
happiness and prosperity with cows,

COUNCILMAN ETZLER sue.
CESS AS FARMER

James E. Etzler is not only an
intelligent city legislator and an
economical municipal custodian, but
he is a progressive farmer, and owns
and is cultivating one of the show
places near Tampa. About ten
miles from this city, situated in the
heart of the most productive sec
tion in South Florida, is a sixty
acre farm that has no equal for it's
superior products in radius of a
hundred miles. Nestled in the CEN
ter of a beautiful and fertile field,
a unique little villa of the Queen
Anne style of architecture and
other necessary buildings complete
an environment that would appeal
to the most aesthetic taste of an aris-
tocratic connoisseur.
With every foot of the fertile land

pastures of luxuriant grass provid-
ing tempting succor for the blood
ed cows, hogs and mules and fowl
