FLORIDA Is LAND FOR
The WINNER, DECLARES MAUI
Says the Climate Makes 1t Altogether
Desirable

Florida is the land of least resist
lance both physically and climatical
ly. according TO Allen Maui, genera
advertising and developing agent OF
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad
who will return here today from q
visit down the State lie further
declares that, if people of the Mort h
will devote a little thought to this
subject they readily may see its
truthfulness.
IF they would only consider the
chances to win in a climate where
they are humping around half the
year to get everything in shape to
weather a long winter through as
against a climate where you do not
have to pay but little attention 10
the winter season. they will agree
with me- he said.
Northern Farmers
Il would like to ask the northern
farmers what is resistance from an
agricultural standpoint? DO not con
ditions which force stock to utilize
half of every pound OF grain they
consume to fight cold, rather than
have it go to fat, constitute resist
arce? Are not six months Of ice and
snow, heavy wind storms. miserable
weeks and months to cut the supply
of ready money and the results of
last seasons profits, reducing tile
weight of your stoik all the tine
they are eating your srop from last
season, to be called resistance? l.
seems to re that resistance is in its
element in the North.
To my mind, Florida is the land
of least resistance because it's all
long pull together wherein you igia
with nature and she joins with you.
It's double chance to win in Flor-
ida against a single chance in the
North
1t is too true to admit CT argu-
ment that there is no perfect Para
disc on earth; but this matter of
drawbacks in Florida is made tire
mendous bugaboo' that will not
stand close analysis If man start
ed out to describe the Northern
States to me | can wreck his ariu-
ment in one minute by asking him
who will pay me back the money |
spend to keep warm and we'll Fer
haps Florida has its draw backs; ev-
cry country has, but they are less
less here than elsewhere, for the
State produces twice as many crops
with twice as much profit per acre
rs any State in the North, and does
t easier.
Florida is an out tot doors coun-
.ry. There is no protracted cold |
There is a maximum Of sunshine, |
md the winter days are asceptic and
nvigorating That is always the
,est climate which permits the most |
outdoor life, and our climate here |
permits the widest latitude in that |

There are always two classes in
my community who are most de-
PRESSED in vitality and in most daL-

our over-civilized life-l

There is not the shadow of doubt |

rcan commission for relief In Belgium
to submit to period of news quar-
antine," the time not to exceed four
weeks, to prevent military information

The time would count from the day
the men lay down their present
charges and notify the authorities in
Brussels of their readiness to depart.
They will be asked to assemble at
some center. like Ijege, or preferably
a German city, such as Cologne, Karls-
ruhe or Munich, which they would not
be allowed to leave for the period men
toned.
The news quarantine" would ap-
ply equally to Brand Whitlock, the
American minister to Belgium, and
his staff, whom the German govern
ment. since the break In diplomatic
relations, regards on the same footing
as relief workers, although personally
in the case Of Mr.. Whitlock the period
Of detention, as matter Of courtesy,
might be Shortened.
After the Quarantine" has ended
1t Is stated that no obstacles will be
placed in the way Of the departure
Of the officials and relief workers by
any route they may choose.

WARNS DIVER TOLL GROWS
Lord Beresford Tells House Of Lords
That 255 Ships Have Been
Sunk In March.

London, March 29.-Losses of mer-
chant vessels amounting to more than
100000 tons thus far in March have re-
suited from war measures of the CEN
trail powers. Lord Charles Beresford
said In the house of lords.
In debate on the British blockade,
Lord Beresford said that with longer
days and calmer weather the losses
would increase and that the public
ought to have the facts brought home
to 1t. The number of vessels destroyed
thus far this month was given by him
as 255.
Lord Beresford expressed the opin-
ion that captures of submarines by the
British were not at all equivalent to
the new submarines the Germans were
launching. He believed the Germans
had more men and more food than
had been imagined In England.
The foreign Office. he said. had too
much power over the navy, to the de-
triment Of the navy. The losses Of
allied and neutral vessels for Febru-
airy. he said, amounted to 2S1 vessels,
with an aggregate tonnage Of more
than 10000.

PREMIER IS FOR SUFFRAGE
LIoyd-Georae Makes Declaration IN
Commons-Women Win Recogni-
ton Through War Work.

London, March 30.-Premier Llyod-
George made declaration In the
house Of commons In favor Of woman
suffrage. The premier said he well
coined the recommendation in favor OF
woman suffrage which was made In
the program for electoral reform
moved by former Premier Asquith.
He favored generous extension OF
the electoral franchise by reducing to
three months the period of qualifying
for voting and by assuming the quail
fication of every soldier and sailor.
Mr.. Asquith said the house would
not be unprepared to hear that he and
other members no longer regarded the
question Of woman suffrage from the
standpoint they occupied before the
war.
Mr. Asquith said the opposition 10
woman suffrage always had been based
solely on consideration of public ex-
pediency. The women had now worked
out their own salvation. The war
could not be, carried on without them.
