FAMOUS DEMOCRATIC LEADER
TO BE FLA. STOCK RAISER
ON A LARGE SCALE

Miami, Jan. 6-Judge Alton B.
Parker returned to his home in New
York Saturday, and with promise
of quick return.
1t is not generally known but
Judge Parker was here not alone for
pleasure but he combined business
with his vacation aud before his de-
parture he had in his pocket deed
for 1000 acres of the choice lands
in the Okeechobee country.
The purchase was made of the
, South Florida Farms Company, be-
ing a portion of the Henderson tract
recently purchased by James A.
Moore. ;.
1t is his plan to stock the Florida
ranch from his New York farm and
| because of the fact that in a few
weeks after sowing grass, this soil
will pasture three head of cattle to
the acre, it will be short time be-
fore ranch of blooded stock will
be reality on Lake Okeechobee.
1t will demonstrate that beef and
pork can be produced right here in
our own state at one-third the cost
of such products in other portions of
America.
Judge Parker is man of keen in
sight. He analyses conditions care
fully and it was not until after he
had made the third trip to the Okee-
chobee country, had examined the
land personally and studied the de-
monstrations of cattle foods, that he
concluded: Its the greatest country
ever saw or heard of. This soil
shonId soon reach a value beyond
that of any other part of the United
States. l never saw grass grow as
it grows here, and it grows the year

The Gaucho

The gaucho, or cowboy of the plains
OF the basin Of Rio de la Plata. has
been celebrated in song and story
quite as much as has his prototype in
North America. to which he closely
corresponds. The gaucho is not al.
ways however, cowboy; he is oc-
casionally a rover and his intimate
knowledge of frontier life has been of
>reat value in the gradual develop
ment Of Argentina's vast Patagonian
wilderness.

But again, it does even more. 1t
gives every individual an unrestrict-
ed channel through which to help
others. The great movements of the
modern day are toward philanth-
ropy. An organized county in the
Sunday school work offers an or
iganization whereby amy Christian
worker may absolutely be in touvh
with every Sunday school person in
the entire county, while of course,
the State organization offers this
privilege in the much larger sense
The association is thus able to ac-
complish a vast amount of real and
lasting good with minimum
amount of expenditure in both time
and money.
Tie association likewise brings
much enthusiasm and inspiration
and education directly to the peo-
pie by conventions and institutes.
One recent convention held at Day
tona in December is evidence of the
value of this method. The eight
denominations operating in Volusia
county. in which Daytona is situa-
ted. were represented. The Baptist
church in Daytona, where the con-
ventiOn was held. was filled at each
session. The exchange of ideas, the
