would recommend that the or
SanizatiOp take a founders member
ship in the Dixie Highway Associa-
ton. This would give us member
on the board which should be held
in the name Of the president of the
Central Florida Highway Associa-
ton. It would insure representation
and mean that we would always hold
the route of the western loop of the
Dixie Highway through this state.
1t has been conservatively estimated
that the state of Florida receives
something like $4,000 worth of
advertising alone on account of the
Dixie Highway and | believe that
Central Florida is getting it's share
of that publicity. Certainly we are
getting more than $1,000 worth
which would be the cost of Found
ers' Membership. AS means of rails
ing the funds for this membership,
I would recommend one or two
things, donations from the member
ship at this meeting, or an assess
ent from the membership.

FlOrida'S Health Conditions

No state cr section in the Union

and death rates and longevity than
Florida.
No place on earth is ideal, and not
even the most ardent lovers of this
great southern peninsula will ad
NIT that it has no drawbacks, fol-
perfection is not really to be ex.
pected this side of the Pearly Gates
but in Florida expectancy of good
healthy working efficiency is at least
equa! to the expectancy of bright,
sunshiny days and invigorating
breathable air.
A big asset of Florida is climate,
so much advertised that Jealous
neighbors have seriously declared
that it is really her only resource
But it is condition of clean air,
saturated with the salt of the sur
rounding oceans, with a temperature
that encourages out-of door living
all the year round. 1t gives an ad-
vantage of untold unreliable value
over the sections where lower tenn
peratures demand an indoor exist
ence through many months of the
year. Vigorous men and women love
outdoors and that's exactly why Flor
ida is thronged today and in this par
ticular winter season with greater
numbers of northern visitors probab-
ly than ever before in her history.
But climate is not the only re.
source favoring health. 1t is easy.

The transmission OF disease, and
ignorance of these laws does not
avert the results of their fracture.
Within the last few years-two
or three-this state has walked up
to the commercial advantages of
good roads, and within the fifty-odd
counties she is spending almost six
million dollars in their construction.
More than twenty-five years ago
she walked up to the commercial ad
vantages of good health, and under
the authority of the Legislature of
1899 and of subsequent gatherings
of the solons at Tallahassee, she has
been spending half-mill tax on all
the assessable property in the state,
to secure and to preserve it.
1t is fact that no state is better
equipped today, as a result of this
wise decision back in the sos to
combat disease directly and through

Orlando Gets Annual Meeting
After a spirited contest between
Orlando and Fort Myers. it was de-
cided that the annual meeting of the
association should be held at Or

Since my report in December there
has been more general correspond

faction and fewer troubles with re-
spect to highway routings than dur
ing other periods.

SENATOR LINDSEY
IN CITY DECLARES
SMITHW|CK LEADS
SAYS PENSACOLIAN is FAST
GAINING SUPPORT FOR CON
GRESS FROM THIRD CONGRESS
SIGNAL DISTRICT.

Senator B. H. Lindsey, of Bombay,
who has made an enviable reputation
as a member of the upper house of
the Florida Legislature, spent yester-
day in Pensacola on business, and
during the afternoon, with friends,
visited the aero station. The senator
enjoyed the many flights of the vari-
Gus machines and said he had no idea
how extensively the government plant
here had been developed.
Senator Lindsey entered the race
for congress last year, but in Janu-
airy, on account of acquiring new
business interests he withdrew from
what many thought was a certain
victory for him. Asked about the
congressional race in his part of the
district, Senator Lindsey said:
mot because l am supporting him,
do l say it, but because 1 know facts
when I see them, Smithwick is gain
ing more strength every day than all
of the three candidates running
against him, and this is because he f
a clean, aggressive, upright business
man. A business man suits the peo-
pie much better than a professional
office-seeking politician. / don't think
there is any question about his win
ming the race.
81 am interested in the congress
sional race only as private citizen.
and as one of fifteen thousand voters
of the district, but the voters of the
Third district are not blind and the
records of the four candidates, as in
dividuals and their attitude toward
public questions and their former sup
port of men for office, are well known
to the voters, and, with these facts
in mind it is hardly debatable ques-
ton as to which man can do the most
for the district in Washington.
''Mr. Smithwick appeals to the peo-
pie because he has convinced them he
is one of them, that he will work in
harmony with the leaders in Wash
ington and that the eople can depend
upon him at all times, and that he is
in no way the favorite of any special
interest"
Senator Lindsey made many
speeches for Mr.. Wilson two years
ago, and says that before the present
race is finished he will take an active
part in It. 81 am very friendly to Mr..
Stephens, but am convinced that this
is the time to support Smithwick, and
the boys in the woods are Of the same
opinion"
