Sam Crawford One of Sixteen to

cally half Of his life has been spent
on the diamond. He is one OF the
rev men who ever worked on three
clubs in one year-Chatham. Grand

lease In any case and promotion in
each move.
Most OF the men who have hit 400
as often as Crawford were thru. or
nearly 10, before he started. some
ne never saw on the diamond. Only
cobb has come into the game since
Sam began his macing career. Which
seems to show that the claim that

lily their war and if We went into it
We would do so for their protection

reasonably be expected to expose
ours TO the dangers from which
th-irs hide II they reluctantly take
the risk Of sending their troops across
the Mediterranean. where there are
few submarines. and the distance is
in comparison not great. we could not
reasonably be expected to send ours

We could scarcely be expected to

THE EDITOR ENJOYING THE EV-
ERGLADES TRIP

Moore Haven, Feb. 81, 1917.
Special to the Ocala Banner:
We are having a great trip.
With the exception of few stretch
es of bad places here and there the
roads from Ocala to West Palm Beach
are excellent.
The damage to fruit trees, oranges,
grapefruit, guavas. avocades, etc. is
about the same until just before one
reaches Cocoa; from there on down
to West Palm Beach the damage
grows less and less, and at the latter
place the damage is scarcely percep-
tible.
Cocoanuts, the royal palm, HIBISCUS,
avocadoes and the most tender plants
are just the same as before the biz
Zard.
We left Lake Worth for this place
yesterday morning. The canal is for
" miles long and when the Ever
glades section is reached all one has
to do is to imagine that he is on the
Muclan Farms The soil is almost
identically the same. 1t covers an
area the size of the state of Connect
icut more than four millions of
acres-and when it is fully reclaimed
it will grow enough celery, tomatoes
and other vegetables TO supply the
world, and like the Muclan Farms it
will produce corn, rice, sugar cane
and kindred crops world without end.
Para. a succulent grass, grows al
most spontaneously. and seers and
prophets say that the Everglades is
destined to become the cattle growing
section of the world
1t is certainly marvellous revela-
ton.
These are only hurry thoughts-the
great proposition will be treated more
maturely at another time
