With a large attendance of repre-

tiles throughout the peninsular por-
tion of the State, the South Florida
Chamber of Commerce was called to
order in the Auditorium this morn
ing at 10:SO O'Clock by President w.
F. Miller.
The meeting was opened by a
splendid address by Secretary Hol-
worthy, secretary of the Lakeland
Chamber of Commerce. who, on be-
half of his organization. welcomed
the visitors.
President Miller then introduced
Hon. II. j Drane, who delivered
the address of welcome, which was
de iyered in a very pleasing manner
and which was well received The

most fitting manner. He declared

inspiration to the members than

briefly sketched the progress that

and women who had gwen their time
and their means to the community's IS
upbuilding. He declared that it was
as much the patriotic duty of every
citizen to give some work and some
time to his community every day and
every year, as it is his duty to serve
his country when some great crisis
arises. He referred to the broader
and greater work for which this or
ganization was effected, and spoke
words of encouragement to those
who were giving their time and tai
ents to this patriotic work. Mr. +.
Brorein, while making no preten-
sions to oratory, always hits the nail
squarely on the head in his talks,
and his remarks on this occasion was
in his happiest vein
At this juncture the president
called the attention of the meeting
to the fact that Secretary b. l..
Hammer was unavoidably unable to
be present, and Mr.. A. ]. Holworthy
was nominated and elected as secre-
tary pro TEN.
President w. F. Miller then de-

many suggestions that offer much
food for thought. We are pleased to

president W. F. Miller OF VALRCO MAKES STIRRING ADDRESS

The following splendid address of
President w. F. Miller, of Valrico,
was given the most interested atten-
tion of the South Florida Chamber Of
Commerce at this mornings session
To the Members of the South Florida
Chamber of Commerce, Greeting:
Your president will not attempt
to deliver a lengthy address, for our
time is limited and the program that
has been arranged for today's meet
ing will cover a wide range of sub
jects, all handled by men who have
proven themselves worthy of their
respective tasks.
The need of a representative com
mercial organization for South Flor
ida has been under discussion for
several years, and ! understand that
in the past a number of attempts
have been made for the formation of
sectional boards of trade, but these
have never met with success.
In August, 1915, meeting of
South Florida commercial organiza-
tions was called in Tampa, at which
time it was decided to form the South
Florida Chamber of Commerce. Just
about the time the South Florida
Chamber of Commerce was organized,
our good friends on the East Coast,
realizing the need of getting to-
gether, formed the Florida East
Coast Chamber of Commerce. ! am
also pleased TO state that some of our
progressive friends in the western
and northern part of the State have
just completed the organization of
the North Florida Chamber of Com
merce, so the entire State is now or
ganized in sectional ORGANIZATIONS.
j therefore believe that with the in
terest that has been aroused in each

ing a movement for a Statewide
Chamber of Commerce, and we have
the pleasure of having with us today
chamber from the Florida East
Coast Chamber of Commerce who
wish to take back TO their organiza-
tion our answer as to where we
stand on the matter of consolida-
tion. This consolidation is of vast
importance, and should be taken up
for discussion at today's meeting.
The consolidation of these organiza-
tions would take in the whole State,
thereby giving Us Statewide
Chamber of Commerce that would
show the world a strong, united Flor
ida working for the good of all, and
all for one.

Berlin, May 9-After more than
century and half of relative un-
popularity and disuse, except among
the peasantry, wooden shoes are be-
coming the vogue with school chill
dren once more, and their use is be-
ing actively and practically encour-
aged by school authorities.
The reason. of course, Is the scar
city and unprecedented expensive
ness of leather shoes which grad
ually have caused people to forget
the old-time dislike of and stigma
attaching to wooden shoes. Hun
dreds of school children In the past
few weeks have taken, either to
leather shoes with wooden soles, or
to the old all-doowen "pantine"
The first move in favor of a re-
sumption Of wooden schoes was taken
by the school authorities In notify
ing teachers that they should coun-
tenance the use of such things in
spite of all the noise made when the
children clattered about the bare
floors in them.

I'm proportion to wealth and popu-

any other State in the Union. Count

Of expenditure by Florida on it's

entire South, indeed, it is setting a
pace that will be hard for any other
State in the Union to more than
match, and but very few of them can
keep step with it.
1T is the only State in the South
where the rivalry and competition in
road building between the different
counties is so active as here. The riv-
airy is so great as to assure of com
pletion in the near future a chain
of highways which will reach from
Jacksonville to Miami, from Miami
across the Everglades to Tampa, and
from Tampa to Jacksonville. with all
the immediate towns connected by

A recent editorial in the Tampa
Times says:
with regard to lining our high
ways with shade trees, that is, as
potash would say something else
again" The legislature has shown
its appreciation of the desirability of
such action by passing laws to en-
courage 1t, specifying the distance at
which the trees should be planted
and offering premiums for the work
as soon as its success has been as
sured, but with all due respect for
the honorable gentlemen who COM
pose that body, we believe they have
begun at the wrong end of the line.
1t is poor encouragement to plant
trees along the highways and then
leave them at the mercy of the pre-
datory steer and the roofing razor
back. Nothing but disappointment
can result. The first step in this di-
rection should be the passage of
law requiring every owner of stock,
either hogs or cattle, to keep them
in proper enclosures so that they
could not become a menace to the
neighbors or the community. 1t is
rank injustice to compel the man who
plants an orange grove, or starts a
truck farm, to build a horse-high,
bull-strong and hog-tight fence to
protect his crops from the incursions
of neighbor's tick-eating cattle and
crop destroying swine. And it is
futile to undertake the Identification
of the roads by tree planting so long
as these animals are allowed to run
at large"

are lying idle, and very few of the

less than 8 per cent are in cultiva-
tion, or are being utilized to produce
any revenue.
OF the lands that are being titled
on account of the lack of high-cl

there is not the profit in them that
there should be.
Nobody will deny that there ought
to be millions more of our idle acres

Nobody can successfully say that
our shipping and marketing facilities
are organized as they should be.
Then, why cant we get together
in Florida for more land develop
ment, more crop production, better
shipping and marketing facilities?
This is a matter that concerns

has a dollar invested in the State

Fine Address by Mr.. Case
The president then introduced Mr..

Cases subject was THE Old and New
lndividualism," and he opened his
address by briefly reviewing the feu-
dal system which formerly prevailed.
and which having served it's pur-
pose, was consigned to the scrap
heap. The pendulum then swung
backward. introducing individualism,
which is today the keynote in civili-
zation's activities. He cited the coun-
ties where individualism is restrained
as being the least progressive. Still,
the self-absorption of the individual,
and his Indifference to society's OBJ
legations, had made the opposite ex-
treme from the old system unsatis-
factory. Under the ideal mean, there
will be as much or more individual
ism as ever, but not the selfish,
greedy, grasping kind, but of the
kind that will advance men who will
give service to others, and will con-
tribute means, time and effort to the
betterment of conditions in their re-
