Judge James T. Wills will be can
didate in the June primaries for re.
appointment to the office of Judge OF
the Eighth Judicial Circuit, more than
likely an unopposed candidate. Be-
cause of the peculiar dignity attach
ing to the office of circuit judge, it
is not likely that Judge Wills will
make any formal announcement
through the papers; he will simply
qualify as candidate for the office in
the various counties comprising the
Eighth Circuit, and let it go at that.
The people will do the rest. Judge
Wills bears the reputation Of
being one of the most upright, learn
ed judges in Florida, and Putnam
county as a part of the Eighth Ju-
dicial Circuit, feels justly proud Of
his record both on the bench and in
the other positions Of trust to which
he had been called before his eleva-
ton to the bench.

Florida Third Potato State

Tampa Tribune: A bulletin from
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture shows Florida in third place
among the States of the South in the
acreage of potatoes for the year 1916.
Florida is excelled only by Virginia
and Texas. The Florida acreage for
1916 is 1896, an increase of $50 per
cent over 1915. Virginia decreased
in acreage from 1915 to 1916, more
than twenty per cent.
A few years ago, Florida was not
known as potato State. Now it is
rapidly reaching the top of the list in
this important and profitable branch
of agriculture:

The Evangelist in Politics

Orlando Reporter-Star: me Guy
election in Tampa today Will ci'Se 4
bitter campaign, one wnich has nlled
the air of that city with charge and
counter charge, and during Whlch we
have witnessed the unusual spectacle lie
of an evangelist using his pulpit as a
political platform. 1t is easy to m
agine that a great breach has been
created in Tampa-one which 1t VIII
REQUIRE a long time to heal. 1t IS
probable that wounds have been made
which will never be entirely cured.
The great question is whether It Is
worth while. If we are to crelit the
charges made by either, the other is
entirely unworthy of confidence. ihe
level headed and self possessed cltl-
zen will sift the wheat from the chaf
and act upon his own judment. In
the nature of things he must choose
between two candidates for mayor.
The likelihood is that both are meas
urably good men. Tampa is beset with
problems that do not affict many 9TH
er cities, because of its Latin popula-
ton. Enforcement of the law does
not lie within the power of any one
man-not in this country. Bad con-
ditions are never reformed by any one
man. If a lawless condition exists il
Tampa it is upto the upright manhood
of that city to correct it, and if ii
isn't done then nobody should attempt
to place the blame upon any one mans
shoulders. Much interest attaches 20
the election in Tampa because of the
far reaching effects which its interne-
cine war has aroused.

The Death of Benjamin E. Prevatt-

st. Augustine Record: Many tri-
butes have been paid by the state
press to the late Benjamin E. Prevatt,
editor of the Volusia County Record
published at DeLand. The deceased
was one of the veteran newspaper
publishers of Florida, and those who
knew him intimately join in paying
high tribute to his many virtues. He
had been editor and owner of this pa
per for more than quarter of a CEN
tury and to him and his influence De-
Land is indebted for much of its pro-
greSs and growth. To the bereaved
widow and son and his aged mother
and brothers there goes out sincere
sympathy. 1t was his intention to
have been present at the State Press
Association meeting in Kissimmee
this week. No doubt official recogni-
ton will be given at Kissimmee for
the loss that has been sustained bv
the Fourth Estate of Florida.

Florida Lands Will Advance

| Florida Farmer and Homeseeker;
There can only be one result from
the unprecedented tourist season that
Florida has just gone through with as
far as the value of her farm lands
are concerned. They are bound to
advance in price. 1t is not likely
that an advance will take place before
fall, but we believe it is sure to come
at that time.
In the past two years Florida :
farm lands have moved slowly, and
consequently have been sold in many
parts of the State almost at the buy
er's price. The homeseeker business
last winter did not keep pace with the
tourist business. During the months
Of January and February, considering
the vast number of visitors the state
was entertaining, there was compara-
lively little farming land sold. The
strongest real estate movement was in
town property. About the first of
March, however, the sale of farm
lands began to take on better tone.
At the present time, according to
reports we have received from several
of the leading land and colonization
companies in Florida, investment in
Florida farm lands is steadily in
creasing. The outlook is so bright
that a good many concerns intend to
wage an aggressive advertising and
selling campaign through the entire
summer. The action of the Florida
First Commission in operating a sum-
mer farm land advertising campaign
with particular reference to Florlda'S
superior summer climate will be val
liable adjunct to the efforts of the in
dividual land companies. A great
many Northern people are going to
learn, during the coming summer, that
Florida's summer climate is comfort
able, and that many profitable crops
may be grown here throughout the
whole season. This will have Won
derfully stimulating effect upon the
sale of Florida farm lands.
Heretofore people have considered
Florida impossible because they could
not maintain home in the North for
the summer season and home here
for the winter. They have believed
1t lmpOSSlDle TO eXlSt mere III lne sum-
mer on account of the heat, and for
the same reason that very little farm
ing could be done. We should not be
if there were million peo-
pie in the North who have such ideas
and who would lose little time in az
ranging to locate in Florida if they
could be convinced that they are mis-
taken.
Florida is partially to blame for
this mistaken impression. She has
advertised her winter climate and
crops far and wide to the almost COM
nlete neglect of the comfort and pro-
ductiveness of her summer season. !
We need more summer time advertis-
ing such as the Florida First Com
mission intends to launch. Florida
land owners and others who have oc-
casion to place advertising before the
eyes of Northern readers should al
low liberal space to tell the truth
about Florida's summer climate and
crops. We must keep hammerirg
these points into the heads of those
who would like to come to Florida
but can't afffford to maintain two
homes.

EASTER-A GREETING.

It was Martin Luther who san.
this refrain on the resurrection:
In the bonds of death He lay
Who for our offense was slain;
But the Lord is risen today
Christ hath brought us life again.
Wherefore let us all rejoice,
Singing loud, with cheerful voice,
Hallelujah!
And why not all rejoice and sing
with cheerful voice when new life
comes into the dead world, and more
light spreads over every land?
1t is most fitting that we celebrate
this glorious resurrection, and mos
fitting also that the Resurrection of
the Son of Man should be celebrated
at this time.
No one claims that this is the exact
date of the death, burial and resur-
rection of Jesus, for Easter is a NOV
able feast determined by the relation
of the moon to the earth, and always
occurs about the time of the coming
of more light, and the resurrection of
the beautiful things tl.at died after
bearing the burden of life throughout
the heat of the summer.
Most fttingly does this typify that
which we believe of oursclves-after
bearing the burden through the long
summer of life until the autumn win s
and c,lills of winter cause our re-
turn to earth, but to live again as do
the flowers.
True, there is mystery concern
ing the resurrection. at doth not yet
appear what we shall be; but we know
that, when He shall appear, we shall
be like Him."
The mystery of the resurrection has
puzzled men of all conditions in all
ages.
Why should the resurrection of man
be greater puzzle, or more of g
mystery than the resurrection of the
flowers and shrubs?
Does not the flower feed and vital
ize the soul of the plant, and does not
nature envelop this in a body, and
when this body is buried in the ground
does not the soul within it burst forth
into life again?
Who can find the soul of the flow
er? Hidden away under fold after
fold Of the finest tissue, and there
protected by heavier folds of coarser
material, lies the soul, mere point of
energy, and beyond the power of the
eye to grasp, or the senses to per-
ceive.
But when the vitalizing forces Of
nature begin to operate, it begins TO
develop force and to expand, and to
give shape and character to a new life
like unto that of it's own, unless
changed by modifying influences.
And why not so with the human soul
as we'll as the soul of the flower?
"May He who rose that blessed morn
Add to thy life joys unborn;
May He but take from out thy life
The myrrh, the bitterness of strife,
And leave but peace and sweet con-
tent
AS was this blessed season meant"
