Now we are having some real
weather-the kind that Is worth
travelling a thousand miles to enjoy
OF course, we realize that this may
bring on blizzard before the paper
goes to press, but if it does not, the
people of Florida and the friends
within it's gates will have pro-
tracted term of as great delight as
sunshine and balmy air can give. OF
course, some other paper may brag
and bring on disaster, but If it is
not done soon it will not be done at
all.
We sometimes thing that Florida
winter climate enjoys better repu-
tation than il deserves. This is not
true of all parts of the state, for we
believe that the visitor who goes far
enough south will find almost a
spring climate all the winter. Flor
ida is state more than five hundred
miles long by rail, and probably
fully five hundred as the crow flies
A great many visitors do not FIND
Jacksonville as warm in the winter
as descriptions of the climate of this
state justify them in expecting it
but they do not realize the fact thai
Jacksonville is as far north of the
extreme southern part of the state
as it is south of Norfolk, or, using
another comparison, Key West il
about as far south of Jacksonville
as Wilmington, n. c., is of New Yorl
city. Florida is some state. and. b.
the way, speaking of size, the Ala

of the St. Johns river as Cleveland
O., is of New York city.

WHAT THE EDITORS THINK
ABOUT IT
(Orlando Sentinel)

The Literary Digest recently con-
Quoted nation wide press-poll on
the size of the army and navy. The
wielders of the pens voted for an
average regular army of 2S5,07S, and
for a reserve of l.215,359. Forty
per cent of yc editors favored navy
second only to Great Britain's and
CO per cent favored navy as large
as any in the world. The press-poll
was published in the March issue
and covers every section of the
United States. The investigation is
one of interest.
The press-poll in Florida was as
follows:
The St. Augustine Record advo-
Gates a navy to insure our country
against any foreign invader, and an
army sufficient for absolute de-
Tense" 1T believes there is danger
of militarism unless the National
Guard is taken into consideration in
general plans for preparedness; but
the Pensacola Journal says there is
absolutely no peril of militarism in
having an adequate army and navy.
They will bring peace to America,
for they will be guaranty that the
warning nations, now Ion ling for the
riches of this country, will respect
u.s." end the United States will never
use lis power excepting to repel an
invader" Nor does the Gainesville
Sun dread militarism when it asks
for en- army and navy as large as
those in a position to know believe
necessary to protect us against inva-
sion.
II is not a question of numbers,
so many hundred thousand or how
many Million" observes the Orlando
Sentinel, which adds that every boy
aud man in the United States should
know enough about military affairs
that he could jump into real re-
cruiting camp and be ready for a
battle field within several weeks.
We need navy, this journal goes
on to say, which, when combined
with Great Britain's, will be three
times greater than any ten European
or Asiatic fleets combined" and
South American countries should fit
their naval construction program to
fill any deficiencies in the combined
British American fleets"
But the Jacksonville Florida
Times-Union observes that "undoubt-
eddy militarism made war newt
able" and that between the militar-
ism of Germany and the prepared
ness of France or England or Russia
there is only the difference of de
gree f" When any nation finds II
is better prepared than others, this
journal asks, ''is there no temptation
to make use of a condition that ha:
cost So much?''

MORE WORKMEN EMPLOYED
IN FRANCE THAN BEFORE WAR
(By Associated Press)

Paris, March 16.-0flcial figures
just given out by the department of
labor inspection show a revival of
industry and a decrease in the num-
Der of idle workmen in France. More
than half of the industrial and COM
mercia, establishments of the coun-
try closed at the beginning of the
war, when an average of twenty-four
per cent of the workmen were
called to the colors. Forty-two per
cent we're thrown out of employment
by the closing of the establishments,
leaving only thirty-four per cent
continuing to earn their wa%es. In
about $4,000 establishments inspect
ed, 100000 workmen were en-
ployed in time of peace. The CURES
fell to one-third of that number in
August, 1914, then increased pro-
gressiyely to 100000 in January

father, located q few miles across the
Mexican border. Kynaston leaves women
at HIS camp while he goes with a detail

Upton sighed contentedly as he select
ed a jack from 1t. When the knock
from both men indicated that neither
had any further hope of bettering his
hand the upfiung cards showed a paiI
of aces in Kynaston's hand against
four jacks in Upton's.
The next two hands broke even
Thus the end Of the fourth deal found
each man with two chips to his credit
The sweat was fairly streaming down
their faces. Both bore unmistakable
token Of mental strain in the tense
lines about the corners Of their
mouths.
Once Upton made q misdeal. He
swore softly.
Just then the door opened. The
two women entered.
"Oh. daddy" 1t was Dorothy and
her tone was Enthusiastically relieved.

She perched herself on the arm of
her fathers chair.
What are you playing for, dad
dy?"
Just TO pass the time, daughter.
Run on out, you and Marion. We
have been talking over some matters
you wouldn't understand"
The girl passed her hands loving
ly over the old miners sparse hair.
The light In her eyes told Kynaston
what the loss Of her father would
mean to Dorothy. Then suddenly It
came to him that he was playing the
fourth hand, and that on the upshot
Of this one hand 1t depended whether
on not that light should dawn again
in Dorothy Upton's eyes.
He bit his lips till the blood came
and ran down, salty trickle, into his
mouth. Upton looked at Kynaston

the widow and settled himself to play
