Feature Florida s Resources

mere never was a better 0ppof-
tunity to place before the country
the resources and possibilities of
Florida, since it offers the great
est field for expansion of any
state in the Union, at time when
the nation s call for increased
production means enlarged devel-
opment of unoccupied lands.
With the restrictions placed up
on all transportation companies
by the government, it is evident
that all publicity in regard to
Florida will be abandoned by the
railroad and steamship companies
and while much of their advertis-
ing was single shot publicity and
frequently overlapped, it all had
its effect and this was especially
true of the advertising promul-
gated by the industrial depart
ments Of the railroads, which
brought excellent results in the
form of new settlers in the state.
What Florida has needed for
years was concerted plan Of
publicity, handled by competent
organization, employing a suf-
ficient fund to extend the cam
paign through a portion Of two
years-say from August to Feb
ruary of each year-explo ting
Florida as state of unlimited re-
sources and unusual possibilities.
No particular section should be
favored-just Florida as a whole
and the many features that are
proving practical and profitable
should be exploited through the
series of advertisements that
would be published in leading
farm papers, popular magazines,
industrial publications and promi-
nent newspapers, the latter being
used principally to follow up and
emphasize the magazine advertis-
ing, The newspapers and maya
Zines in Florida. which are con-
Itinually advertising the state,
should be used in the campaign as
local endorsement is essential TO
the success of any promotion.
Several attempts have been
made in this direction in the past
and the work done showed credit
able results, but the logical time
has now. arrived for one big, gen
eral advertising campaign, similar
to that which emanated from Cali
fornia a dozen years ago and
placed that state in a position
where it can sell its ordinary. I'M
cultivated lands at $500 to 800
an acre. Florida has the richest
lands in the world, the best eli
mate IN the world, good transpor-
tation facilities by both rail and
water, good roads. fine cities and
sterling citizenship. 1t can be
made the greatest producing state
in this country within ten years if
properly and honestly advertised.
The big land interests, banks.
hotels, manufacturers, wholesale
houses, cities, counties and bust
ness generally, should give such
plan a most cordial welcome and
fund of quarter to a half million
dollars should be raised in a very
short time to spread the glad news
of splendid development in a
state that comprises so thorough
" all the elements Of greatness

with the innovation and wonder
why it was never done before.

Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczepa quickly by applying a little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, $1.OO. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short time
usually every trace of eczema, letter,
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.

Shoes and clothes are 50 scarce in

and those only in black and two shades
of tan; black, gray and blue fabric
only for mems and women's apparel;
only one grade and color of silk and no
patch pockets or pleats, is nothing
compared with restrictions in Europe,
most of whose peacock alleys, when
trod at all are trod by a very dowdy
lot of birds. The central powers, gov
eminent data shows, have limited the
amount Of clothing each man, m
and child may possess even stipulating
the number and quality Of handker-
chiefs. Much of the clothing is made
OF woven paper. Even that is scarce
and costly.
Leather shoes are unknown outside
the army. 1t is next to impossible to
get any kind. Forbidden to use every
thing else, shoe ~anu1acturer pousnt
up family cloths and doilies and lined
wooden shoes with them. The govern
ment stopped that, Selling the table
cloths for government use.
Shoe cards are issued to the popu-
lace but as often as not are worthless
because the dealers have no shoes.
When shoes exist, they are made of
wood, paper or sail cloth. Five and
six dollars a pair is the cheapest for
any Of them. They wear but a short
time.
Herr Hartlmaier, Of the Austro-Ger-
man chief distribution department re-
Gently announced that "shoes from now
on will be made in three qualities
rough, medium and better. The better
shoe will be made entirely Of paper
ppers and hin wooden soles."
Wooden shoes have been generally
worn in England and France since the
first year OF the war.
