They never forget Florida; people
who have had temporary residence
in the State and then returned to
the frigid northland from whence thew
sprang, will always turn with Iongfngs
for the land of sunshine and flowers,
where the trill of the hooking bird
is heard through the glorious day and
the blinking stars vie with the moon
beams in piercing the .hadows Of
night. They can't help it; there is on
ly one Florida. Only last week a
Florida society was formed in Wash
ington, in which but one man or wo-
man of the bunch now holds legal res
idence here-Duncan U. Fletcher, the
president The other officers are
Mrs. William Cato. Geo. B. Selden
and Mrs. Ellis Fowler all of whom
claim Palatka as their Florida home.
Palatka and Florida acknowledges the
compliment.

evening paper, made its appearance
on Monday and is all that this paper
prophesied it would be-neat and at.
tractive in appearance and capable of
being read and inwardly d!gestel
without an interpreter. Mr.. Davis,
however, has appeared a trife iealou;
over the fact that his contemporary,
Abe Potash of the Postem Serial, has
been invading the evening field. Tom

that the press of the State copy what
the Tampa Tribune, Dixie, the Miami

too long and ponderous. There's too
much about Rome and the seven hills,

of the condition of the plain peepul.

THE DAVIS LAW.

The Supreme Court of FLORIDA mas
upheld the constitutionality of the Da-
Wis package liquor law by majority
opinion of the court. Chief Justice
Taylor and Mr., Justice Ellis rendered
dissenting opinions.
We believe that the majority opln-
ion of the court is sound-thGt the law
instead of being prohibitory within
the meaning of Article XIX of the
State constitution, is in the nature OF
a regulation which the legislature had
authority to enact under the police
power.
Some friends of this paper have ia
ken US to task for our opposition to
this law. They have labored under q
mistaken notion. The News is neither
for nor against it any more than It
has always been against any law
which permits the sale of liquor for
beverage purposes.

Mason City, Sept. 25.-"Three thous-
and boys in Iowa are enrolled in the
acre corn contests that are being held
in forty counties in the state, and if
the interest and enthusiasm manifest
ed this year is any criterion it is prob
able these figures will be more than
doubled next year." said j. E. Wooters,
Of Ames, assistant state leader in club
work Of the Iowa State College, who
spent the morning in the city confer
ring with c. T. Benson regarding the
acre corn contest which is being held
in this county at the present time.
If there is one message that I
would like to carry to the boys Of
Iowa that are participating in the acre
corn contest this year it would be or
ganize your clubs now for next year
I believe that now is the time for the
boys to Select their seed corn for next
year. and that the success OF the acre
contest in 1916 will depend largely up
on the preparation that is made now.
Corn selection is one Of the big factors
in these contests, and we are anxious
" nave tlc UOyS cIlcI lIlS IuS COHISSIS
to make their selection now and Sc
cure their seed corn before the heavy
frost falls This, Of course, is Just an
other way OF emphasizing the import
ance Of preparation"
To Visit Forty Counties.
Mr.. Wooters stated that it was his
intention to visit all of the forty COM
ties that are conducting acre corn con-
tests, and that 1t was his desire to
learn the nature Of work that was be-
ing carried on in each county in con-
nection with the contests. He stated
that the interest in the contests was
becoming more general thruout the
state and that farmers were urging
their boys to enter the contest.
1T Is surprising what can be ac-
complished among the boys in the
rural districts" said Mr.. wooters
"And the success Of the acre corn
contests will depend largely upon the
enthusiasm that we and others who
are interested in these contests, can
create among the boys on the farms
It Is easy to teach a boy the practical
way to farm, and the coming genera
ton Of farmers are to be practical
farmers" Mr.. Wooters stated that 4if-
tv-eight boys in Cerro Gordo county
had enrolled in the contest. 1t will
close Nov. 10.
