ABOUT PATRIOTISM.
Christine Terhune Herrick Of the vigi.
lantes Tells What II May Mean.

Christine Terhune Herrick Of the vigi.
lantes Tells What II May Mean.
! Patriotism means a lot to most Of us
when 1t is accompanied by sort Of
grand stand play. We can all feel thrills
| and chokings in our throat at the sight
Of Old Glory borne up the street ahead
Of brass band playing patriotic airs.
The time when we get over that and
feel the hardships of patriot Is
when we go home and plan for meals,
or count up the change left after doing
the days marketing, or debate upon
what we can afford to have for dinner.
Then we shed our trailing robes of
glory and begin to grumble like any
uninspired creatures who have never
cheered flag or kept step to a martial
tune.
why were we ever drawn into this
wretched war;" we cry. Look at the
price of meat and vegetables! Do you
know what | had to pay for my last
bag of -four? It's shame that the
necessaries Of life should be taxed like
this! No, children. You cannot have
cream on your Strawberries and I'm
not sure can afford to get the straw
berries! Such nuisance having to
pinch and fuss like this. am sick to
death Of it,!
Just then and there you show that
you don't know all patriotism can
mean to a woman. Stop and think why
everything is high priced, why you
have to scrimp and strive. Here IS
where you have your chance to show
your patriotism!
What are we doing as a nation?
Why were we drawn into this WARP
You may be able to answer promptly
enough that we are working to support
democracy and freedom against mill
tarism and autocracy. But have you
ever thought that the little economies
that fret and harass you are your part
Of this big businessl
1t is very fine to wear a badge and
join a canteen contingent or Red
Cross unit and trot about to meetings
and hurrah for the flag. But If you do
your "blt" In another way you are
serving your country just as much,
although In a smaller measure, as II
you volunteered for some spectacular
service that kept you In the public eye.
Glorify your small renunciations and
worries by calling them by their true
names, sacrifices you are bearing for
the sake Of your country. in order that
you may be able to do more for those
who have infinitely less than you.
Don't be afraid to say that 1t Is patriot
ism which keeps you cheerful when
you have to cut down here and pare of
there and do without somewhere else.
Tell your children that these minor
privations, like the bigger ones borne
by our brothers and sisters across the
sea, are endured for freedom Just as
much as the trials Of the pioneers from
whom we are proud to trace our de-
scent.
Hold your head high; remember tina.
a hero is only one who does more than
his duty and go about your daily round
OF work with the bearing and the heart |
OF one who Is qualifying to have a
cross Of war pinned to her kitchen
apron.

James A. Moore, who was an import
ant factor in the building of Seattle
and the Far Northwest before he
discovered the wonderful agricultural
and commercial possibilities in the
'heart of Florida.
James Moore is a builder with a
vision. In Seattle he demolished a
$4,000 hotel and removed high hill
which blocked development, that
values of tract beyond the hill
might be enhanced. In the Everglades
he found spot, on the southwest
shore of Lake Okeechobee which ap-
pealed to him as the modern Garden
of Eden and there he determined to
found a city. Less than two years
ago it was a wilderness, today it is
a busy thriving little town with a
modern hotel, telephone service,
sidewalks, good streets, beautiful
park, newspaper, motion picture
theatre, ice plant, electric light plant
churches, school and numerous
stores. The houses are of the most
approved bungalow type and mum

centre of upward of 100000 acres Of

flied most by the drainage work that

dredged to carry off the surplus
waters.
Thousands For Roads.
The spirit of Davie" during its
years of trials and reverses has been
superb. The people have built COM
Portable, substantial homes, q splen-
did club house which was destroyed
by fire soon after completion, a
church, and school which seventy
seven children attend, though many
of them walk a distance of three
miles and cross the canal in boats.
They have a local telephone exchange
with thirty-two subscribers and
through lines to Fort Lauderdale.
Recently they bonded themselves to
build hard roads costing S165,000
!. through the Everglades, with a di-
rect highway to Miami; to construct
$4,000 jack-knife draw of most
approved type across the canal and
to erect new $4,000 school. These
determined pioneers believe in the
future of the Everglades, particular
ly in the future of Davie.
Their struggle with the floods
was rewarded this year, when fo1
the first time they gathered and
marketed their crops before the
deluge. Crops were bountiful
prices were high and they made
splendid profit. What these hard
working, energetic people will at
tempt in the way of public improve
ments now that they have had one
good year is difficult to predict, but
it is certain that they will prove
faith in their belief that with proper
drainage Davie will become one OF
the foremost agricultural centers OF
the world.

a colossal undertaking, requiring mil
lions in money and years of time and
labor. Until drainage was accom-
plished, little success could be scored
and many of the pioneers returned to
their former homes, defeated, but
knowing their first faith in the Ever
glades would be fully justified with
completion of sufficient canals.
Drainage Development.
The state continued the drainage
project and made some progress,
though both methods and results are
severely criticized by those holding
lands there.
A suit instituted against the state
by the Everglades Drainage League
is now pending and legislation favor
able to the drainage project is being
sought. Eventually, this vast acre
age will be reclaimed and viii add at
least half billion dollars to the tax
able lands of the state. But the
canals already dredged, though far
short OF an effective drainage system
have accomplished good in that they
made possible the cultivation of some
of the lands and have. made them
