As The Times Begins
the Second Year of Old
Policies In Its New Home

One year ago today, entering new,
modernly-equipped and more efficiently
4 arranged building, The Times began
printing a bigger paper.
We began printing at that time, also,
4sa better paper.
u We assumed a bigger responsibility,
too on moving and taking on more size
there was more of The Times to keep
free Of the Objectionable.
# Il requires q greater volume of busi-
mess to print big newspaper than it
does q small one; so it has required
4 fust q bit more courage to turn down
4 fashionable advertising and to refuse
Questionable money, but we have found
U HAT Ill the necessary courage came
y 1yur with us from John R.-st. TO Bag
EI1y-ave., and the bigger paper has been
2kept SAFE.
Without compromising single prln-
&elpae: without relinquishing a single
knoIicy; without the acceptance of a
3nfngle tainted dollar from any crook,
ej6unck or poisoner; from any brewer or
tiIIer or other booze agent, or from
|iy advertiser seeking to victimize
Inee readers, BIGGER newspaper,
|lrpt SAFE, has PAID.
yhen we say The Times is bigger
spaper, not much of a point is made.
~ bigger newspaper is a yard stick
pooition, calling merely for more
writers, more type-setting machines,
m more white paper.
Al ~ = not matter of our own opinion,
tkhor. when we lay claim to printing q
etter" newspaper.
Ihre is measuring stick with which
klo prove that claim, also.
We believe the POSITIVE proof lies
IN the fact that since March l, year
30. subscribers to The Times and its
NFoIICIES have increased at the rate
w ONE THOUSAND A MONTH.
IN TWELVE MONTHS, THE
k41fES HAS ENJOYED A CIRCULA-
EzIIoN INCREASE. IN ROUND NUM-
ERS, OF TWELVE THOUSAND.
AZ that rate of increase in the number
Gf is readers, The Times is proving that

Rural Cooperation
In Florida

1t is gratifying to learn that so
many letters have been received by
the University of Florida of lane
inquiring about different phases of
cooperation that Dean P. H. Rolls
of the College of Agriculture has adj

ton to the correspondence courses
offered by the university. Clarence
Poe. editor of the Progressive Far
mer, ito whose writings we have
often had occasion to refer. is the
author of the textbook that will he
used. He studied the question while
making observations as a member
of the famous commission that visit
Europe several years ago.
The Agricultural News Service
published weekly by the College of
Agriculture has this to say of the
awakening to their own interests of
the rural population of Florida:
THE spirit and sentiment for CO.
operation among Florida farmers
and fruit growers have never been
so strong as at present In every
community are men and women who
are making large sacrifices in time
and energy that the community may
be a better place to live in, and a
,bftter place in which to rear
family. This enlarged view of life
has brought more happiness and
contentment than great riches.
Cooperation is really sounded in
the spirit of neighborliness- con-
fidence in ones fellow man. Some
the best and most successful CO.
operative enterprises have grown out
of the resolve of neighbors and
friends to help themselves by help
ing others through community of
effort. The extra mule or horse
which some farmer needs occasion
ally in some agricultural operation
which he can not afford to purchase
himself but which some neighbor
lends to him, knowing that when he
himself needs such extra help the
favor will be reciprocated; the i'm
plement too costly for one mans
purse but which several combine tt
purchase and use in common; the
valuable high-bred animal which
several armers club together to buy
that all of them may improve theil
