Few men in Florida have been as
much abused as Pleasant A. Holt. We
guess lot of the abuse is undeserv-

are not in the least bit ashamed to
say we like him, and consider him one
of the most reliable business men in
Florida. We are not by any means
solitary in that opinion. For years,
Holt has represented the fourth ward
of Jacksonville on the city council

The Jacksonville Free Press, the
organ of Cats in the late campaign,
is drawing its feet up into the bed.
It's last issue was half plate, and the
remainder was worse than plate. Such
papers can only live on prejudice, and
when prejudice dwindles they starve.
They do not interest anybody except
those who revel in abuse.

FIGHTING HARD FOR FLORIDA
(Times-U nion)

Washington, Dec. 16-Members of
the farm loan board today told the
congressional callers that the loca-
tons of the several farm loan banks
would be made the latter part of the
coming week.
While other cities are making a
desperate fight to prevent Jackson
vile from getting one of the farm
loan banks, there is nothing that has
developed so far to indicate that the
information already sent out. on this
matter that Jacksonville would prob
ably win, is other than correct.
Senator D. u. Fletcher has return
ed from the Southern Commercial
Congress at Norfolk and is closely
watching the movements of the board
in Jacksonville's interest.
Floridian Gives Dinner
F. J. H. Won Engelken of Florida,
director of the mint is likewise
watching the situation and does not
mean for the members of the farm
loan board to go without information
as to the agricultural resources OF
Florida, nor is he going to let the
farm loan bank get away from Jack
sonville, if his ingenuity can prevent
IT.
Tonight at an elegant dinner, which
he gave in honor of the members OF
the board, practically everything
with the exception of salt, sugar and
few other items were Florida pro-
ducts. The hog meat came from Mr.
Won Engelkens' farm in East Palatka
as did almost every kind of vegetable

Origin Of Word "CIpar."

The appeal of American soldiers in
Mexico for tobacco recalls the fact
that the word cigar" is derived from
spanish word "cigarral," which
means garden. but how many know
from What "cigarral" is derived? +?
When tobacco was taken to Spain
from the newly discovered America
the people planted 1t in their gardens.
When Offering a smoke to a friend q
Spaniard would say, "Es de mi cigar.
raj ut is from my garden).' Through
misunderstanding on the part Of for
eigners this expression was corrupted.
The word "cigarral' was supposed to
refer to the tobacco and in time was
shortened to "cigarrO" and finally to
cigar" "Cigarra" is derived from
the word "cigarra," meaning grass
hopper. because the grasshopper
abounded in the gardens and there
sang the loudest. The original Of
cigar" therefore. is grasshopper.
