GOLF ATTRACTS WINTER VISITORS.

ST. Augustine is working for year-round goI
course of which movement the St Augustine REC
ord says:
Much satisfaction is felt over the fact that
hearty and immediate response is being made to
the efforts looking toward the establishment OF
a year-round golf course in St Augustine. Gon
as a pastime and a recreation is not necessarily
the exclusive property of the idle rich. although
1t has long been considered so. The Twihgnt
Golfers here in st. Augustine have had plenty
of time after working hours to enjoy a round or
two of the links at the old Country Ciup, ana
they have found pleasant recreation thereby.
Realizing what the opportunity for play has
meant to a certain group of men during the past
summer committee has been at work lining
up those who would be interested in maintain
ing the Country Club at the South End as a
year-round course, and the plans provide for
the rebuilding of the club house. looking to its
use for social purposes, even greater interest
than was anticipated has been evidenced.
Jacksonville planning a municual golf course
and the Rotary city is cooperating with
the chamber of commerce in bringing the scheme
to a reality addition to the golf course the plan
calls municipal tennis courts, polo field, race
track. cnder track ETC., all to be open free to TIE
public and completed in time for use during tue
state fair.
Florida towns finding that winter tourists are
more than sight-seers, they are also pleasure
seekers and If we are to hold them for the whites
months we offer something of recreation. par
ticularly in outdoor sports.
The Pensacola Country Club is IDEAL setting
for recreation winter and summer. and the links
furnish much of outdoor sport to members and
their friends which usually include those who win
ter here. Those who working for a resort
hotel on the Gulf Beach contemplate great golf
course as one of its drawing cards, and such 9
hotel, with boulevard along the shore and goii
links for winter visitors would furnish every kind
of outdoor diversion which could possibly be de-
sired.

Editor The Journal: Having noticed
the articles in The Journal as to the

price and gave good value for the

willingly pay for a membership in
labor or some other material assis-
lance, who can't give money, and
transfer these memberships TO those
most in need?
In the city are thousands of brick
in piers and foundations of buildings

home along that line; also, I think, of
framing timber and materials which
it seems to me the owners should let

cALLIrA STRIKE BUT KEEP WORKING

new kind of strike is suggested by the Four l.
Bulletin of Portland Oregon, which elucidates as
follows:
You remember Tom Sawyer when he wanted to
release the runaway slave Jim from the shanty?
Tom insisted they should dig him out with case
knives despite the fact that picks and shovels Were
handy. Huck Finn pointed out. So Huck and
Tom went at the job with case knives But it was
"a long job, and they hadn't moved yard of earth
until blstered hands forbade further effort. Then
Tom took pick and IIuck shovel and called
them knives. In half hour they had the
hole dug under the shanty.
Tom fool. He wanted the job done ac-
corng the best dictates of romantic fiction. and
that called for knives On the other hand,
case knives were burned hard the hands and
mighty slow So he did the practical thing and got
his results He got satisfaction by calling the
shovel case knife. Tom thus achieved the view
point that modern industry has missed.
L What's the matter with Tom Sawyer strike ?
1t would be strike with the misery loss left
out. Just call it strike. Then stick the job.
