Thousands of young men who have
willing to supply them withsbooks and

of these advantages, spend their long
evenings either in idle longing around
corners or in company with frivolous

winter after winter passes away, each
one bringing them nearer to the age
OF manhood, but not fitting them for
the proper discharge OF the duties that
a full manhood requires. They enter

FOUR ISLANDS COSTING
A MILLION DOLLARS TO BE
BUILT IN MIAMI BAY

Miami, Oct. 24.-To undertake the
construction of chain Of islands
leading from the channel to Belle
Island which will cost between $780,

lpany. They are now advertising their
intention to apply to the governor OF
the state for a charter.
The company expects to get to work
on the islands next year. Mr.. Chaille
said this morning. There will be four
islands in the chain, connected by
concrete bridge. Each of the islands
will be as large as Belle Isle, and will
be beautifed and prepared for resi-
dence sites in the same high class
manner
The chain of islands will replace
the wooden bridge which is to be tori
away with the completion of the
causeway. Mr.. Chaille said that ten

hinder proceeding with the construc-
ton Of the improvements.

ciates are completing beautiful Is

way, and expect to build another next
year. Carl Fisher expects to build
six more islands along the peninsula
during the next year. Still other de.

practically certain that Biscayne bay
is destined to become within a few
years second Venice or a miniature

DIFFICULTIES OF THE CENSUS

The Supervisor of the Census for
the First Congregational District of
Florida, whose headquarters are In
Punta Gorda, in an interview with
The Herald, says that, had he known
in advance the difficulties and respon-
sibilities attaching to his work, he
would never have undertaken 1t.
Chief Of his troubles is the impossi-
bility Of getting men and women
enough to take the Census, to engage
in the actual work Of enumeration.
This, he says, is due to two rea-
sons, viz: First, the fact that the
pay of enumerators is the same now
as 1t was ten years ago, In 1910, when
a dollar would buy twice as much as
1t does now. Second, the work is on
ly temporary, lasting from January 2,
to February 8, 1920, a period during
which helpers are In demand In all
lines of activity and at pay better
than the census offers.
Appeals to patriotism have little, II
any effect. They have been made
to county officials and civic bodies In
all of the eleven counties Of the dis
trict, but with discouraging results.
Up to Tuesday of this week, 1870
formal applications for Census emu.
merators had been filed In district
headquarters. OF these, consider
able number will refuse to take the
test examinations, which are to be
held during next week, and some who
do take the examination will fail to
pass. This will leave less than a
hundred who are to do the work in
January; whereas about two hundred
are needed.
After today, under the rules and
regulations, no application for ap-
pointment as census enumerators will
be accepted. The time limit expired
Oct. 18th inst, but the supervisor, by
permission of the Director in Wash
|ington, extended the limit to Oct. 23rd.
1t is hoped that, Notwithstanding the
shortage in enumerators, the first dis
ltrict may secure full and correct
lcensus.-Punta Gorda Herald.

AT the luncheon yesterday OF the
committees starting out on the drive
for new members for the chairman OF

swered the question frequently asked
by those outside the organization,
"What is the Chamber OF Commerce
Doing? We believe the people gener-
ally will be interested in the answer
to this question, and will be surprised
at some of the facts stated therein.
The question was asked the other
day, in perfect good faith, What Is
the Lakeland Chamber Of Commerce
doing?' It is fair both to the Cham
Der Of Commerce and the questioner
to say that the latter was not a men,
Der Of the organization, because, 9th
erwise, the question would have re-
fiected back to him and might have
been answered by another question,
What are you as member Of the
Chamber of Commerce doing?' The
statement sent him, made by a prom
inent publicist, that "the status Of a
community is the best evidence OF
what the commercial organization h

has a live commercial organization

However, this will give you some
