"The Salvation Army stands pre-
eminent in its field. It is the only
organization that reaches out a hand
to the man that is down and out.
@The Salvation Army is an organ
ization that has grown because of
the self-sacriicing spirit of the
workers. 1t has developed because
all the money or property that is
turned over to it is handled effici-
emily.
Louisiana will get the benefit of
every dollar that is given for this
worthy cause. We have been prom
ised that the money will be spent in
the cities in which it is donated. That
will mean that the state will not only
get number Of splendid homes for
the Salvation Army but that recrea-
tion centers will be created.

self to be bluffed by adversely is not
going to succeed notably here or any
where. Nor will great achievement
come to the man who expects to come
into Florida, scatter seed recklessly
and spend his time merely waiting
for harvest time. There is work and
preparation all along the line, and il

work like he would On a farm any
where else and study to find the way

The emphasis in the career Of
Thomas ]. Peters is not that he Is
able to meet and control adverse con-
ditions in the markets, but that, years
ago, he met and conquered the many
discouraging features of trucking
which presented themselves in the
soil.
And it is jolly fine conclusion to
the story that this successful man
should plant his money where he
found it, building a monument to him.

Without assuming to be correct In
every detail, the superficial informa
ton about the career Of this Miamian
would resemble a fairy tale If II
were not so completely surrounded
by facts. Beginning, in very mod
est way, the cultivation of tomato
crops for market in seasons when
prices are high, he encountered the
usual difficulties of natural elements
and insects. Mr.. Peters might have
given up in despair after few fail.
ures-but the essence Of his success
is found in the fact that the more diff.
ficulties in the way the harder he
worked and planned to overcome
them.
He studied conditions and literally
forced things to come his way. The
soil, the climate, the seasons-these
were things he must know If he
would achieve, and as a result of in.

conversant with conditions that he
was enabled to make preparations for
all emergencies, and if slight frost
swept away a growing crop the seed
beds were ready to replenish the
fields the next day He studied mar.
ket conditions and mastered them,
and today the vegetables going out
from his packing houses are in shape
to command the best prices in all
