visitor. The fisherman can match his
skin against the might Of the leaping

other FISH are almost unbelievable.
Surf bathing BY midwinter moonlight
is a Sport that viii never be forgotten

Be reached By a short ride from Pass

sponge fisheries at Tarpon Springs;
Bird Island, the national bird rendez-
vous under Government protection,
and dozens Of other attractions delight
the visitor.
On the mainland, hundreds Of walks
and drives wind through avenues and
lanes of tropic foliage and flowers,
where living curtains Of glowing color
are shaded by stately paIms-while
fruits Of every kind imaginable are
everywhere.
The climate is what most Of US
come south for, but we do not object
to attractive surroundings, especially
at meal time. Weather is all right
but climate is hard to beat.
With the cordial and hearty CO.
operation Of the council, DR.. J. F.
Harrison as Mayor viii give Mexico
q splendid business administration
which viii surely help make Mexico a
greater city.
