SOUTHERN statesmen BEST

The South has long believed in the
ability of it's young men to go out in
to the world and make good, because
of the manner in which they adapt
themselves to conditions, approach a
proposition, and cOmport themselves
in the fire of competitive struggle.
The long list of thousands of men in
the craftsmanship records of the coun-
try, showing that the men from the
South are leaders, Is a matter of par
donable pride to us.
1t is not often, however, that the
head of a great northern concern
which employees hundreds of sales
men from all over the country is so
openly and cheerfully given to sing
ing the praise of, and ascribing a real
southern reason for, the super-effci-
ency of the southern boy drummer"
as is the firm of McKesson & Robbins,
Inc, wholesale druggists and chem
lists, New York.
In recent issue Of it's trade journal
Saunders Norvell, chairman of McKes-
son & Robbins, Inc, says this of the
southern knight Of the grip"
"My experience has been that the
southern states generally produce the
best statesmen. One reason for this is |
probably because southerners are
more pleasing and more sociable, as a |
rule, than their northern brothers.

there is every reason to believe that
within another year the great phos-

high level and possibly pass all form

With the great advances being made
in agriculture there will be increased
demands for fertilizers, and with the
rejuvenation of the wartorn districts
in Europe will come an icreased de-
mand for expectation, so there is high
hopes that this splendid asset to Flor
ida will be developed to its fullest ex-
tent.
The valuable publicity given to Flor
ida by the Commerce Monthly, which
is read by bankers in every state and
in other countries, is undoubtedly due
to information given by George E.

1t is very probable that few of oul
own people in Florida fully realize the
extent of the great phosphate industry
and wonderful deposits of phosphate
rock in this state.
For many years the mining and ex
portation of phosphate rock was one
OF the chief industries of Florida, but
SO many new lines of endeavor have
been established in recent years that
this extensive industry has been al
most lost sight of.
A leading article in the Commercial
Monthly published in New York City
by the National Bank of Commerce, in
the August number, contains many in
teresting facts and tables on the
phosphate industry of the world. and
features Florida as the chief source
OF production in the United States.
which produced an average Of 1922
263 tons of phosphate rock each year

For many years these masses of

heads into waiting barge or vessel

Where the coal piers now stand the
city will in the future build a new

further south the railroad company
will build other and modern coal

LIFE'S PROBLEMS

friend is one of those people whose
first reaction to any idea is always
negative.
And having expressed that char
acteristic reaction. she is compelled
with her children, as she says, to
stick by her guns-for the sake of
discipline.
l wonder! Is that vaunted disci-
pline fetch of hers worth the sense
OF quivering injustice she is contin-
ually planting in her daughters soul.
the incentive she is constantly giving
to mutiny and deception, the loss OF
confidence she is piling up?
She is not singular or unique in
| any respect. The world is largely
made up of people with a negative
reaction. That is the reason why
all great inventors and reformers and
men of new ideas in any direction
have had such tough row to hoe.
/ With almost any of us the first i'm
pulse when any new proposition,
scheme or suggestion is presented
to us, is to shake our heads.
Learn to say. NO." is pounded
into our youths as precept of shin
ing virtue. And yet the negative
forces. the stand-pat contingent of
humanity have never advanced civili-
cation by single inch.
Learn to say. Yes" is a doctrine
that is of far more value. 1t is the
affirmative spirit, the calm. unfiinch-
ing determination of daring souls
that has always set this great world

that is largely conservative in its

my friend to say, No, on the first
impulse, without hardly knowing why
it says it, l will give you a hint as
to the best way to meet the negative

dash over the roads to the station
and finally to embark on the train

Jim stared at me incredulously for

into the room with the volcanic
