it was too late to start when they
arrived back in Chicago and so the
trip was made by train. No definite
plans have been made for the win

will probably stay here for some
time, making side trips to points of
interest.

the world. l spend my time travel

is grazing New York with his
Bostonese presence. Snyder is
training for some bout OF other, his
exact opponent being somewhat I'M

der are claiming some great things
for him, and it is probable that he
will have chance to make good
in the near future.
Butler College, Indianapolis, has
one-legged athlete of wonderful
activity and versatility. Robert
Carver plays basketball, tennis and
baseball with as much ability as
most of his mates, and with more
than some Of them. Carver was in
jured in runaway accident five
years ago, necessitating the ampu-
tation of his left leg. He is very
shifty and can go to the side of
back in remarkable fashion.
The matter Of proper fitting
gloves for boxers is being given con-
siderable attention nowadays. Ill
fitting gloves often prevent boxer
from hitting properly and make
punching dangerous business. Gloves
that don't fit right often result in
fighters breaking their hands and
for this reason several promoters
throughout the country are giving
the glove matter extra attention.
Bolivia has golf course which is
13.474 feet above sea level, but it
is doubtful if the air is any bluer
than it is right here in this country
on some much lower links, when
amateur golfers are endeavoring to
get out of sand trap. The sport is
growing rapidly in favor in Latin
American countries and efforts are
being made to induce famous Amer
can and English players to take part
in tournaments there.

FLORIDA CAN DO 1T, TOO

me savannah News, one of the
ablest newspapers of the south, re-
Gently published an editorial on the
subject of Georgia feeding Georgia.
which might well be paraphrased
for the State of Florida.
| Certainly, if there is State in
the Union that can live, that is. feed
itself from its own soil without ref
erence to any other. that State is
Florida. Not only do we grow all
the necessities for sustaining life but
in abundance we produce those
things which are regarded as lux
! uries. and the State could not only
sustain life, but it could furnish the
things that make life enjoyable, as
| we'll.
If Georgia can feed Georgia. Flor
ida can not only feed Florida but
largo part of the rest Of the coun-
try included.
But. and this is strange thing,
we do not feed ourselves from our
own products.
While we raised eight million
I dollars worth of corn last year. we
have imported millions of dollars
worth of prepared foods from the
mills of the north. While we pro-
duced. last year. every known vege-
table, yet the State could be given
tin roof from the cans in which
manufactured products were ship
ped into the State. While our citrus
frui. crop was worth five millions.
yet We import California fruits and
fruits from the State of Washing
ton and from other far off localities
While We can raise cattle and hops
better and cheaper than can any
State of the Union, no one has been
able to estimate with any accuracy,
the value of meat products, fresh,
sailed and canned, that we import
annually. Our fisheries send north
every year millions of dollars worth
OF their product, and we re-import
them in some canned form paving
the freight both ways, the expense
OF canning and hauling and the null
titude of profits.
We produce enough in the rough
to feed our own people with all
that kindly nature has been able
to give any people.
we waste the most of it because
we do not prepare if for storage and
preservation here, giving the profits
OF such preparation to the people of
other States.
We should be able to prepare our
own corn and we sell it to our own
people without the Intervention of
any northern mill We should raise
our own meat and sell the died, salt
ed and canned product, not only to
our own people but to the rest of
the world. And so with our own
fruits and fish and vegetables. If
we would do with them as other
States do we would not be COM
PEELED to import single case. and
we would keep all the intervening
profits at home.

to be the same, and it is easily recog

natives of New Zealand to the highly
civilized Caucasian much the same
forms of emotional expression are to
be observed"
