some who have other kinds. 1t must

understand about your cars, and you
ought to have some way to make
them realize how it is.
So, why don't you advertise that

lots of things we can think UP our

st. Petersburg Times, will, we fear
fail to reach him, as he left us an
orphan early in March, to take a lit

He starts on hike when he gets
ready, and again when he gets good
and ready he comes back. In the
meantime his friends know nothing

Eyes of the World on Polk County
Tremendous Effect for Good or
Evil Repends on Vote

Il believe that if we succeed in
getting the good roads, of which
have no doubt, that in a term of five
years We will see the value of prop
erty doubled" said S. C. Tillman,
one of the heaviest land holders and
prominent citizens OF Barlow in
speaking on the good roads question.
Continuing he said:
The main functions of the roads
will be to help the progress and de-
velopment Of the county. Everybody
in Polk county needs the roads, par
ticularly those of US who are doing
what we can for its development. |
represent three large interests who
are vitality interested in the growth
of the State and county and am
free TO say that unless we get good
roads that We will have to come to a
stop in our efforts. >"
We are among the heaviest tax
payers in the county, but we are
more than willing to do our part to
get the roads built, even to paying
more taxes so that We will get some
thing for our money. AS it is we are
getting nothing, but still paying for
it.
Speaking Of what roads will do
one has but Just to look at what the
building of the railroads have done
for the eastern part of the county
Before the road along the ridge was
put through, lands were worth COM
paratively little. When the road was
actually constructed, land values
doubled and trebled in two years
and are still increasing. There's an
object lesson for all who care TO
look.
81 believe that If the people have
a chance TO use the good roads and
realize the good it means to them
that they will never consent to give
Them up. That has been the exper-
Hence of all communities who have
done so :"
Speaking on the prospects of tht
carrying of the bond issue, he said:
have been over the county consid
erably and firmly believe that tbs
bonds will carry by a large major
ity.. The eyes of the world are or

+ ing that this question has had viii
exert a tremendous effect for good
or evil, depending on the vote for Of

WHAT GOOD ROADS
HAVE DONE FOR
POTATO MEN
GROWERS IN HASTINGS
ARE BENEFITED
Can Haul Larger Loads With Same
Team-Sixty as Against
Twenty Barrels

That the potato growers IN the
HASTINGS district, the famous potato
growing section OF Florida, have
been enormously benefited by the
building of a system of good roads
has been clearly demonstrated dur
ing the present season, and an OBJ
ject lesson can be seen daily there
between the effect that permanent
roads have over dirt or clay roads,
by noting the size Of the loads, num-
Der of barrels being hauled by the
Hastings growers and those hauled
by the growers at Federal Point,
where clay roads prevail
Like other communities in the
State, a great many OF he growers
opposed the bond Issue and III"
building Of the permanent ads, Is
ing the usual arguments against it,
but fortunately for them a good ma
jority prevailed, the bonds carried
and the permanent roads were
built.
With the opening of the shipping
season this year the effects of the
good roads became Immediately evil
dent. Those who had been progress
sive enough to vote for the roads had
made provision to take advantage OF
the benefits that they would receive
from them. in that they knew that
with a permanent hard-surface that
it would be easier to transport heav-
Ter loads with the same power, so
they prepared by building larger
wagons with increased capacity.
The previous season the average
load that could be hauled over the
clay road to loading platform with
two horses, was S to 10 barrels of
potatoes. With the building of per-
manent roads and larger wagons the
average load that is now hauled by
two horses is 90 TO "a barrels, over
, two to three times as many as prev
: iously.
, 1t was also found that the strain
on the teams and equipment made
two loads per day and the. average
number on clay roads, while on the
permanent road three loads per day
is the average. In other words the
growers can now haul 60 to ~ bar
rels day, thanks to the permanent
roads, where heretofore he was only
able to haul Is to 80 barrels over
the clay roads, and this is being done
with the same team, no extra horses
or mules being required.
Even those who voted against the
bond issue willingly admit that they
were standing in their own light
and would not go back TO the old
system OF district bonding and
building clay roads unde any cir
cumstances. 1t means a tidy sum to
the grower, with potatoes selling
around 1915 and $3.50 a barrel to
receive s19S day or more just be-
cause he has permanent roads TO
haul over

Two changes of importance are an
nounced in Polk county newspaper
circles this past week, the first being
the retirement of Gen. E. NJ. Law
from thd editorship of the Barlow
Courier-informant. General Law has
made the c. l a model newspaper,
and it is with genuine regret that
the newspapr fraternity will note
that he is no longer to grace the pro-
fession. The other change is the
sale of the bright and sprightly Au-
burndale News by John G. Hanna,
who has made that journal one of
the Invest and most readable in the
state. A stock company, with Park
H. Adams as its head, is the pur-
chaser. Mr.. Hanna, it is intimated
will engage in newspaper work in
a broader field in this section, which
fact is pleasing to his many friends
and admirers. These changes re
mind us that the editor of the Even
ing Telegram is the "nestor" of the
Polk county press, every paper in the
county having changed ownership ol
editors since he engaged in newspa
nar work here, and all but one hav
ing been started during that time.
