WHAT WE SHOW THE TOURIST

One Of the sights that we of Flor
ida show the tourists is one that all
of us should be heartily ashamed of.
That is the great array on the
shelves of our grocery stores of can
ned goods from other States, and
particularly those that come here
from California
| That California Is able to produce,
can and ship their beans, peas, corn,
tomatoes and pineapples to the State
that can produce them inthegreatest
abundance is a reflection on the
progressiveness of Florida
Once in a while we hear that the
pineapple crop in Florida is big and
the demand is small, and that prices
are low. and that some of the fruit
| is rotting in the elds-and this in a
contry that producer as fine pine
apples as grown in Uncomfortable
on the shelves of the grocers are
stacks and stacks of pineaples can
ned in California and even far-off
Hawaii.
1t is the same old story of almost
every other line of production-we
are buying canned goods and other
things that we eat, wear and use
and feed to our livestock, where mil
lions Of acres OF land are idle, while
the sun and the rain and the soil
form combination of natural wealth
that is not surpassed anywhere else
on the globe, and we are days and
weeks nearer the great markets of
America than California or Hawaii.
California is land of earth
quakes. Florida never had one. Per-
haps It will be necessary for an
earthquake to comealony and shake
us up, or whole family OF earth
quakes to camp nder our beds at
night for a few years to awaken us
to our needs, to our weakness. and to
our necessities.
But instead of trying to interest
tourists in lands for speculative pur-
poses, instead of showing them our
waters and talking about our fish
and game as attractions. why don't
we bend our attention to a few OBJ
ject lessons of the great potential
wealth that lies in the soil, awaiting
the hands of the producer, and the
millennium of good market Flor

Chum Bob's Sporting Talk

New York, March 1.-THE choice
of sports today necessarily must be
regulated by personal preference, for
a long and varied program has been
arranged in celebration of St. Pat
rick's Day. The events are widely
scattered throughout the country
with prizefights, perhaps, occupying
the most prominent place on the
schedule. A LANCE number of fight
fans will take the trip over to Phila-
delphla at the close Of today's var
ious parades to see Johnny Kilbane
and Johnnie Dundee clash Dundee
declares that he expects to put an
end to Kilbane's career as feather
weight king, and he looks in con-
dition to keep his word. Friends of
Kilbane say. however, that tlthough
he mas not been boxing in the best
form for the past few months. he
has entirely regained his old time
skill and composure and is ready for
all corners.
