CAN CROSS TO THE EAST
COAST FROM FORT MYERS

A number of inquiries have been
made recently with regard to the
possibility of a trip across to the
East Coast from Fort Myers, and
Secretary Holworthy has received
the following information from the
agent of the Gulf and Atlantic
Steamship Co.:
Arrangements have been made
whereby one can go from Fort My
ers to Labelle by boat, from Labelle
to Lake Hicochee by auto Irregular
daily service) and then by boat to
Lauderdale.
This makes a very interesting
and satisfactory trip if taken on our
steamboat. the Poinsettia, the only
passenger steamer on the river, the
others being gasoline launches. The
complete expenses of the trip will
approximate fifteen dollars. Boat
leaves on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday at a. M, making connec-
tions at Labelle. A party, up to
five or six, can secure accommoda-
tions without previous arrange
ments. but larger crowds had better
send advance notice."

Good looks and an impressive
froat are assets of real value in a
candidate for office, especially high
office in which the arts and graces
OF an orator can be employed. For
instance, Hon. Y. Il. Watson, of
Gadsdcn county. who has announced
himself as a candidate for Congress
from that district and has resigned
his office as State senator in order
to make the race. If he gets in
Frank Clark will have to look to his
pulchritudinous laurels, for Mr..
Watson is fright these with the

Also he has brains, and Quincy
dispatch to the Times-Union says of
him that he is a most convincing
speaker, at ease anywhere in max
ing a speech and can debate with the
best.

BETTER READING THAN
ABOUT WAR AND POLITICS

Europe is slaughter pen full of
horrid sights and deafening noises
and here is America there is vague
unrest, the fear of possible war, and
the opening chorus of an innumer
able herd of office-seekers who will
go up and down the land for months
to come clamoring for votes. It is
soothing to turn from all this sell
fshness and sinfulness and listen for
a moment to that wonderful Ala
bama girl, Helen Keller. born deaf
and blind. while she tells us what
God has done for her and that life
holds something better than the hor
-rors Of war and the raucous discords
OF. mere money-gettingand office
seeking. The other night she lee
tured in Louisville. Ky, and we
could fill this space with nothing
better than her beautiful message to
the world. She said in part:
Il was glad to come here to tell
you that, although l am deaf and
blind, | know the wonder and great
ness OF life. Because have imagi-
nation and because God has put into
my heart the joy of living, I am un
afraid of the darkness that is around
me. | find life beautiful and wonder
ful. There is, indeed, much beauty
and goodness in the world, that the
days are full of happiness. How
much more should you, with all of
your faculties, enjoy life.
"What has been done for me shows
what can be done for others. The
love of another has enabled me to
find my soul. Without my teacher
I should be nothing, and without
you ! should be nothing. Life for
another is the only life worth
while.
"Let us not evade the problems
OF our day, but face them and try
to understand them. We cannot help
the world until we know what is
the matter with it. It is wronc to
shir. any of the facts OF life. The
happiness Of one is bound up with
the happiness of all, and we should
live so that others may be free. The
world shall be saved by the love
that is in it, as I was saved by the
love that is in the heart of another.
Love Is the only happiness. love that
means brotherhood and service.

At last we are beginning to APP
proXimate definite results in the de-
mands OF the State press for a bet
ter libel law. Obviously, the only
way to approach such an objective
is by asking candidates for the leg
islature to commit themselves fav-
orably on the issue and that has
been done in the case of Hon. Craw-
ford Parrish Of Manatee county, can
didate for the State Senate from
Manatee and DeSoto, who has prom
Used to work to that end in the event
of his election. The same action
should be taken in every county in
the State and candidates for the leg
islature should be requested by the
county paper to state plainly what
their views are and what they will
do, il elected, in the matter of
amending the libel law. On this is
sue Mr.. Parrish says through the
Tampa Times
"If the good people of Manatee
and DeSoto counties honor me with
election, my principal fight will be
to amend Florida's iniquitous libel
law and give our newspapers an op.
portunity Of telling plain truths, pc.
litical and otherwise. The manner
IN which they are throttled-they
are not even allowed to publish facts
stated in court records-is an out
rage against them, against the peo-
pie they serve and against the hon

7. The Kissimmee Gazette is rieht
when t says that Florida is des-
tined ID be the motorists paradise.
Muti has already been accomplished
in this State in the way of building
good roads, and the good roads move
ment has now such a momentum that
it will not be checked. Ten years
hence Florida will be famed not only
for her winter climate and her cit
rus groves. but for her great system
of good roads crossing the State in
all directions; and with the Dixie
Highway and it's laterals completed,
the automobile travel into Florida
from the far north every fall and
winter. and through all parts of it,
will be something wonderful
sight not to be duplicated in any
other State in the Union. Even now,
with our uncompleted road system,
this travel is large and motor cars
with license tags from many distant
States are too numerous to attract
special attention. This from the Kis-
simmee Gazette is true not only of
tina. city but of Lakeland and all the
other prominent communities of
South Florida:
Stand on any prominent corner
Of Kj0simmee at any hour of the day
and you may note automobiles bear
ing the license tags of many States
Of the Union. Touring parties are
passing through the city every day
in numbers. Many of them stop here
fo- a few days rest on their journey.
AS more and better roads are built
these touring parties will increase.
Each year greater numbers of visit
ors are coming to Florida by auto
mobile and spending the winter sea-
son riding about from place to place
enjoying our wonderful climate. ("

WINTER HAVEN MAN GETS
MANY POULTRY PRIZES

Lawrence N. Mckay, OF Winter
Haven, Fla, has a most remarkable
record on poultry ever reached in
Florida so far as known on S. C. w.
Orpine tons, which he brought with
him from Des Moines, Iowa, where
he was a winner of first in local and
State shows. at one time carrying
off $50 loving cup which he treas
ures. Beginning with the South Flor
ida Fair and Carnival at Tampa, Feb.
to -, where Mr.. Mckay entered
five S. C. w. Orpingtons and three
Indian Runner ducks. Result, three
firsts, third and fifth. or five ribbons
on seven entries. From here he made
three entries at Orlando's fair, re-
ceiving first, second and third. This
trio was then shipped to Eau Gallie,
Fla, on east coast, together with
two car loads of produce, poultry,
etc. Yesterday the following tele-
gram was sent to him at Winter
Haven and forwarded to fair grounds
at Lakeland:
Eau Gallie, Fla, Feb. %, 1916.
Lawrence N. Mckay,
winter Haven, Fla:
Fine show, good classes. You
won first cock, first and second hen,
champion cock; silver cup.

While his trio of white Orping-
tons on the east coast were making
such record, Mr.. Mckay was do
ing stunts" in taking ribbons at the
Polk County Fair, and out of an en-
try of seven Orpingtons and three
ducks he won six frsts and three sec
onds, also silver loving >cup.
His record from Feb. to Feb. "a,
1916, is:
Tampa-Three firsts, fourth and
fifth; entries; ) ribbons.
Orlando (Trio) One first, second
and third; 3 entries; ribbons.
Eau Gallie (Trio)-One first, sec
ond and third; entries; 8 ribbons.
Polk County-Six firsts, three Sec
onds; 10 entries; ribbons.
Total-11 firsts, Z seconds, 2
thirds; 23 entries; 20 ribbons.
Mr.. Mckay received letter to ex-
hibit at Bradentown but felt that
his birds had been on the road long
enough and decided to give them a
rest before taking them to the Fort
Myers exhibit in March. He is a fine
judge of fine feathers, and notwith-
standing all his hard work to bring
his birds to perfection he has been
amply rewarded.
He is a most modest young man
and has made many friends in the
association as well as orders 10 be
filled later.
From this marvellous record II
looks as if Mr. Mckay would make
one of the leading poultrymen of
South Florida. No doubt he will be
heard from later.
