shipped by freight to the north.
Those freight cars are scrubbed
perfectly clean, then the ice,
which is manufactured here, is
broken up into small pieces and
the fish are packed, so rany
thousand pounds to the car. 1t
is cleanly, all right. You can
buy fish, as | said, but why do so
when the men who fish, going
out in boats across the bay, get
so many that they sometimes put
them in carts and go around Civ
ing them away. No tourist may
sell a fish without first paying
a $40 license. Last evening Mr..
Wilson was out on the porch and
a reighbor tourist brought over
a dressed fish, saying they had a
surplus. Later, our friend on
the corner was heard outside in,
quiring for Mr.. Wilson and in
his absence, l answered the call,
and behold, he had two fish for
us that were each at least two
and a half feet in length and the
two weighed about 25 pounds. 1t
looked as if we were to be over
stocked with fish, but we in turn
gave one away and dressed the
other one for we four in the
house. They skin the fish here,
pulling skin and scales off with
pincers.
There is not a large number of
tourists here this year and the
Punta Gorda Hotel is not open.
Many states are represented, but
there seems to be more from
Ohio than any other state.

grees?

For removing mud stains from white
or cream serge the following method
is excellent: First allow the mud to
dry thoroughly; then cover the spots
with common table salt and leave for
two or three minutes. When this is
finished take piece of tissue paper
and lightly rub off the salt. Finally
apply a little French chalk, brush of
with a clean brush, and you will find
all the marks have vanished.

Letter from the South.
Punta Gorda, Florida,
Jan. q. 1916,


Editor Journal: Since. we were
here, two years ago, they have
built a sea wall and dredged II
sand, thus adding long sea
front to the town. The added
grornd (?) is about one half mile
in length and several hundred
feet wide. 1t would be a great
improvement if the wall was
ever half way right. The stones
show where the cement does not
cover, at low tide. and that is
the main drawback.
One of the pleasant events we
have enjoyed was an excursion
the Baptist Sunday school got up
to 20 down to Boca Grande. They
engaged the Charles Wallace, "
a screw-propeller boat, of good
size and comfortable accommo-
dations. The distance is about
"a miles and the boat made good
time. The day was truly ideal.
[ wish l could make you see on
paper the lovely southern sky, so
brilliant and clear a blue. and the
dark green of the palms, which
border every point and inlet.
The breeze was like tonic, so
soft and fresh, and occasionally
a porpoise might be seen popping
up and down in the water. Lunch
was served on board and we land
ed at dock from which the
street led straight to the beach.
You get an unbroken view Of the
Gulf of Mexico as far as the hor-
izon, where the deep blue of the
sky and the gulf water seem to
blend. The wonderful sight and
sound of it's waves rolling in and
the beat of the surf on the sand
are among the most treasured
things of memory.
Well, we walked down the
beach all the way to South Boca
Grande, something over two
miles, but one does not notice the
distance. New things are to be
seen each step Of the way. You
may gather shells until you are
loaded down, then you see others
that look prettier and you pick
them up only to repeat the same
over and over.
We were permitted to go up in
the light house and were shown
the inside of the lamp and it's
wonderful prispaatic glass, and
we had a view of objects in gen.
eral through field glasses. It is
all so beautiful that~it fills ones
soul with a sense of grandeur al
most overpowering.
We rode back to Boca Grande
on a street car run by a storage
battery. The ride home in the
starlight was lovely. On each
side you could see the channel
lights, which work automatically,
showing the path to be followed
by the boat.
One thing is certain, your ap-
petite gets ravenous and you feel
like eating everything in sight.
The fish season opened on the
10th of January and it is worth
while to go down to the dock
when the fish boats come in. One
boat brought in seventyfve thou
sand pounds last week. You can
buy almost any kind or size Of

WHEN DUSK DRAWS NEAR:
NIGHTS HALT IN SIGHT

When the landscape has turned to
gray and dark green, and the tints
of the sunset have darkened, and the
road ahead loses itself in shadows,
and you swing your motor car around
sharp turn, and there, a silver
splotch, lies the lake and its hostelry
where you plan to spend the night,
that is the end of perfect motoring
day-the restful end which rounds
the full happiness of your vacation.
There is no vacation to compare
with the outing spent on the road
with your automobile. Such is the
sermon of the great vacation motoring
movement, national touring week,
which on August 6 will send forth a
legion of motorists from the cities
and hamlets of the nation. From the
Atlantic to the. Pacific shore they
will set forth, each to discover and
enjoy the scenic beauty of the cyclic
rama bounded by his own horizon.
"See America first by seeing your
own state first" is the sentiment be-
ing spread broadcast by those who
advocate national touring week.
One does not need to journey thou
sand miles from home to begin a tour
of scenic beauty, undreamed by the
average citizen of state. There is
not a commonwealth in our nation
that does not offer its citizens a
vacation motoring tour rich with
scenic beauty and novelty.
The motorist who does not use his
automobile to speed the enjoyment
of his vacation neglects his oppor-
tunity.
