The photographer who was spied by

Unless the National Commission
takes action, many of the Red Sox

Here is some timely moralizing
from the Clearwater Sun which a
good many of us need to absorb into
our systems, for, in the mad, blind
rush of the vast human herd across
the peninsular called life, from one
void to the other, we get so "het up"
in the beastly scramble that we neg
lect to do very many simple, easy
things that would give us all more
comfort on the journey and diminish
the striking resemblance to human
hogs which good many of the herd
now bear:
THE next best thing to succeed
ing yourself should be to see some
one else succeed. If you cannot make
money it ought not to be impossible
to rejoice with a friend who can. If
you hear friend complimented tell
him about it; if you hear him con-
demned unjustly stick up for him.
If you can do these things you can
get much out of life, because you
will put much into life"

SOME FEATURES IN SENATOR
pRANE's POLITICAL RECORD

Senator Drane is at this time
Senator representing Polk county III
the Florida Senate.
His work in public life has been
along practical, constructive hnes'
looking TO the interest of the busl-
ness men of the State, and particu-
larly to that class of business men
who get their living from the soil.
The Drane Drainage Act is his and
this will in time redeem about eigh-
teen million acres of land which is
now waste land.
Among the Drainage Districts
which are now operating under this
act are Davenport Drainage District,
Peace Valley Drainage District, Plant
City Drainage District, Lake Largo
Gross Bayou Drainage District, St
Johns Drainage District and others.

one of its great institutions has re-

vestigating the operations of this law
and he has pronounced it one of the
greatest laws now on the statute
books of any State. 1t will be recon-
mended by him to the State of Wis

will bring millions of dollars into the
State within a short time and already
hundreds of thousands of dollars have
come in as direct result of this law.
Senator Drane was also the original

THE POWER OF WILLIAM JEN-
NINGS BRYANS PERSONALITY

The interest which people feel in
great man is not controlled by
their approval or disapproval of any
particular doctrine or policy which
he may advocate. They are drawn
to him by the irresistible magnetism
of personality so strong and mas
terful that it has fought it's way
above the level of the herd, con-
querei obstacles to which weaker
men Lave surrendered and won the
emiaence to which we all give the
instructive acknowledgment due to
the peak towering above the range.
William Jennings Bryan has
probably been since 1896 the best
abused and the most admired man
in America, and all by virtue Of the
qualities which have differentiated
him from the mass and set him
apart as leader and teacher
whom all people flock to hear. He
has probably talked to more men
and women in his public career than
any other living human being, and
so large and deep are the resources
of his mind and heart, so compelling
the charm of his personality, that
thc lure of him for the average
American is as potent as ever and
he still draws with but little If
any diminished power. This is all a
tribute to that Incompatible thing
called character, and of which Mr..
Bryan il one of the most conspicu-
Gus living instances.
The people of Lakeland will have
an opportunity to hear him next
Tuesday night on the war in Europe
and its influence on this country, and
as he fairly looms before the whole
world as the biggest and ablest eX-
ponent of hostility to the current
view Of military preparedness, what
he says will be deeply interesting
and he is sure of an audience limit
ed only by the capacity of the Audi
torium.

A COMING GREAT
INDUSTRY IN FLORIDA

The big conference of cattlemen in
Tampa this week was a start toward
the better development of what is to
be one of the largest and most profit
able industries in Florida, and some
interesting facts were brought out at
the meeting well worth calling gem
eral attention to. From the pub
lished story of the conference we
take the following:
Chairman ]. A. Griffin said it
was fact that Florida with 3d.
100000 acres of grazing land for
cattle has less than 10000 cattle
within her borders. Z. F. Roberts,
vice president of the St. Louis Stock
Yards Association, speaking on Mar
ket Demands. said this State ought
to be the largest cattle producing
State in the Union. He urged that
beef cattle be bred here in large
numbers. He said new blood ought
to be introduced, as our range cattle
are inferior. DR.. f. p. Nohprebe.
head OF the Donhagen Land and
Live Stock Co. of Ridway county,
one of the largest concerns of the
Kind in me West, said the oppor-
tunity here was the greatest he knew
of. He said forage crops should be
studied so that the cheapest good
forage might be obtained.
DR.. f. NJ. Nighbert, who was
sent here from Washington as repre-
sentative of Secretary of Agricul-
ture Houston, said Florida cattlemen
are far behind the times and seem
to De slow to seize the opportunity
presented. He spoke of the necessity
OF tick eradication. He said: dip
ping Is the remedy for the tick and
Florida certainly needs it; we all
know it is a lot of trouble and ex-
pense but it's worth it. Get the
right man in the State to teach the

THE RISE OF A FAMOUS
SOUTHERN HUMORlS1

Urey Woodson, editor and owner OF
The Greensboro (Ky.) Messenger, was
in the Rambler's Office the other day
and the conversation turned to Irwin
Cobb, who has become famous as a
writer. Mr.. Cobb used to work on
paper belonging to Mr.. Woodson at
Paducah and Mr.. Woodson knows the
celebrity we'll. Regarding the early
days of Mr.. Cobb, Mr.. Woodson said:
Cobb was working on the Louis
willie Post for SIS week. l needed a
good man on my paper at Paducah so
took Cobb when he applied for the
job He used to live in Paducah and
was a good news man, SO just suited
me. He stayed with me more than
three years and then left to 60 to
New York. l heard of him as work
ing on The Evening Sun at $35 a
week. One day l met Cobb on the
street in New York and he was home
sick for Paducah and wanted to 60
back to my paper. But we did not
come to terms so he stayed in New
York.
i "a year or two after that / met
Sam Blythe in Washington and Sam
said to me:
"'Your man Cobb is making good.
He was sent to the peace conference
| in Portsmouth and scooped US all. He
wrote such cracking good stories that
he made US look like cubs. l was in
New York on my way back to Wash
ington from that conference and had
talk with the managing editor OF
The World. l told him the best news
man New York had seen in a long
time was in New York, working on
The Sun and he had better grab him
told him what Cobb had done. He
offered Cobb $S5 a week and Cobb
went to The World
Continuing about this Mr. Woodson
said
! 81 asked Cobb what he did when
he was offered the job on The World
You know The World and The Sun
buildings are close together, only q
narrow street separating them. The
World building being a skyscraper
while The Sun building is small Cobb
said:
| az did not take time to 60 dowr
stairs; just went out the window
and jumped acros into The World
Office"
'The next time I met Cobb he told
me he was getting $500 a year and
was given a free hand regarding the
, stuff he wrote Two years or so later
met Cobb in New York and he said
"T have quit The World
Il expressed surprise and he said
81 have been offered $4,000 year
by The Saturday Evening Post and
can sell on the outside all the stuff I
write that The Post does not wan,
and have the book rights on the
stories The Post prints"
