a Cleveland kaIserite

Editor Herald-Not long ago, a COM
mittee of Punta Gorda ladies came to
Cleveland soliciting for the Red Cross
organization, and the reception they re-
ceived at some places was not pleasant;
it was even uncivil and discourteous. One
party went so far as to say that Germany
would and ought to win and he gave as
his reason that God is with the Kaiser
1t may be that God and the Kaiser are
in partnership in this unealled for and
wicked war. but any citizen of Florida
born in the United States, who has been
permitted to live here for years educating
his children, now in Punta Gorda schools;
and to make a home and have a compe-
tency for himself and family, that will
talk as this party did to those ladies, en-
gagged in one of the most worthy acts of
proper authorities and made to suffer the
severest penalty known to the law.
1t is safe to say that the patriotic and
law abiding citizens of Cleveland very
much regret this affair and that the COM
that, even If the people at Cleveland were
that there are few that would have so
little sense as to acknowledge it as this
party did
Now we believe that if this, or any 9TH
err committee only comes to Cleveland
again in this most worthy work, that
they will receive civil and courteous
treatment, and that there are very few so
ignorant as to believe or want the Kaiser
and his combination to win, even if they
did find q Kaiserite in Cleveland.-JOE.

Florida State Fair
Different From All
Other Expositions

You might remark, II have been to
state Fair" and they are all alike.
But In this you will be far from right.
The Florida State Fair and Exposition.
which will be held in Jacksonville from
February 26 to March 8, 1918. inclu.
slve, Is as different from other state
falrs as state fair differs from a
small county fair. At no other state
fair will you have seen the exhibit
OF the United States Government
both agricultural and naval, as it was
through his personal acquaintance
with the department heads in Wash.
lngton that General Manager B. X.
Hanafourde was able to impress upon
them the necessity and value of gov
eminent participation at the Florida
State Fair. No political pull secured
these exhibits, as IL this had been the
case, other state fairs in other states
could have been able to do the same,
but the peculiar geographical location
OF Florida had great deal to do
with it,
Florida is growing by leaps and
bounds. Hundreds of thousands of
acres of land are being placed under
cultivation or in stock raising annual
ly and the eyes Of the nation are To-
cused In our direction. Florida Ia
now becoming recognized as being one
State that will provide food for our
armies and home people, when other
States of the Nation are covered in
snow and sleet; and the government
realized that it was necessary to en-
courage the Florida farmer to more
farm his land, and In
crease his herds of stock and poul-
try.
In another way will the Florida |
State Fair differ from other state fairs, |
and that Is there will be more counties |
having exhibits at the Florida State |
Fair than were ever entered at any
other state fair in any other state.
Rather broad statement, but can be /
proven. The greatest state fair the
state Of Texas ever held was Just
staged in Dallas, and over 100000 peo-
pie passed through the exposition
gates in one day, yet there were only
ten! get that? only ten counties rep
Georgia had six or eight
but Florida has already
secured space reservations from
rWENTY-ONE Florida counties, and
by February 1, there is expected to
De at least TEN more announce their
Intentions of sending county exhibits.
How does that look for a CONCERT
cd EFFORT ON THE PART OF
FLORIDA COUNTIES TO TELL THE
WORLD WHAT THEY HAVE IN THE
WAY OF PRODUCTS?

Sometimes strangers look at us
in a superior way and say in a
plying tone, "What do you peo-
pie live on down here? DOM see
anything but a few oranges and
some truck patches" Oh, well,
we don't starve; and we help 9th
err sections out with food a little,
too. Our corn crop last year was
of more value than our citrus
crop; the ''patches" up about
Hastings alone produced $5,0O0,-
900 worth of Irish potatoes; at
least 81 100000 worth of sweet po-
tatoes were grown in the State; a
little side-line' like peanuts
brought 100000 and over.
