:: Notes a.

One of the finest pieces of Florida
literature which has ever been pub
lished, so far as we have yet seen, is
a book of It's pages written by L. H.
Cammack. Not fine as picture
book for there is not a picture in it,
not even of the author, who is well
and favorably known in this COM
munity. Not single Illustration ex-
cept such, as in convincing words,
tell on every page in plain and truth
full manner What About Florida?"
The style is exceedingly attractive
and will hold the enthusiastic atten-
ton of the reader until the last line
is reached. The writer knows Flori.
da, its people, its climate, its re-
sources, its past history, its present
conditions and also it's splendid pos.
sibilities. He knows we'll that, in the
past, the truth has not always been
told about Florida, that this misrep.
resentation has been made by un-
scrupulous land agents, lin nearly evr
cry case northern mem and also by
people who by only a railroad view Of
Florida wen back with untruthful re-
ports. He knows, tic, how to meet
these questions with unbiased and
logical statements, convincing to an
unprejudiced inquirer. The book deals
sparingly with statistics which are
real and authoritative and bear the
imprimatur of official sources.
This book ought to have national
circulation and be sent out as Flor
ida" literature to hundreds of thou
sands of people who really want to
know What About Florida?"
The book can be purchased in the
book stores at fifty cents for the pa.
per covered and one dollar for the.
edition bound in cloth. Any man who
is dissatisfied with his purchase is

Foodstufs Denied
Holland Until 1t
Dares Sea Menace

Washington, Sept. 20-Holland' $
appeal for American supplies to meet
her food shortage, while 100000 tons
Of Dutch shipping continue to lie
idle in European ports, is the subject
OF an official statement issued by the
State department today, expressing
the hope that the Netherlands gov
eminent would follow the example
of other neutrals and open the way
for general resumption of trade by
lifting the embargo upon the move
ment OF her ships.
In effect, the department gives no.
tice that so long as Holland permits
herself to be intimidated by Ger
man threats to destroy even ships
plying between neutral ports, there
can be no arrangement for American
foodstuffs similar to those entered
into by the United States with
Switzerland, Sweden. Norway. Den
mark and Spain.
The statement discloses that the
Netherlands government never has
availed itself of the offer of the
United States and the allies to put
100000 tons of bread cereals at the
disposal of the Dutch people uncon-
ditionally, after the government had
failed to approve tentative general
agreement reached at London last
year.
