r. "A War Stamp received is not only
s gift, it is a suggestion and an incen-

War Stamp may be the foundation of
financial independence; any employer
who gives stamps for Christmas will
encourage thrift and make better citi-

I'm Jacksonville 1 stopped over a
day and night, visited the State Fair,
and had some other sight seeing in the
city which I enjoyed very much II It is
a fine city. 4 =, g.
On my arrival in St. Augustine I at
once started up town, along King
Street, happened to see the name "Key-
stone Hotel'' went in, and decided to
stay there for one or two weeks. The
entire house is newly decorated inside:
and it is very pretty and neat. all over.
The meals are very good, too. In the
evening / went to the Plaza and there
accidentally met Mr.. Collins. The next:
day, Sunday morning, he came over to:
the ''KeystOne'' and took me around for
a sightseeing trip in the city, which I
enjoyed very much. Will say that st.
Augustine surprised me, because 1 had
no idea it was so pretty here as it
really is. found all over the city, fine
buildings and streets, and there is an
abundance of beautiful palms, live oaks,
elms, magnolias, 'cedars, oleanders and
camphor trees, roses and other flowers.
The vegetable gardens are looking very
fine now, and just as far advanced as
they are in Minnesota in July and
August. It is wonderful that things
grow so abundantly in the sandy but
productive soil.
In the afternoon the same day Mr..
Collins and I went together to the
Alligator farm, Museum of Marine and
Natural Curiosities.
Mr.. J. e. Ingraham, President of the
Model Land Company, and also Mayor
of st. Augustine, is sick, so I have not
met him as yet, but Mr.. J. Ingraham
Jr., came over here the other day and
took me along for an auto ride to Mr..
WendelFs farm, so miles from the
city. He may take me along for an
other ride to Hastings, to see the po-
tato fields there, etc. '.an..
We are having Extraordinarily fine
weather here, and have had ever since
