THE TOURISTS ARE WITH US ONCE MORE

We are glad to have the tourist with us. Their
nuallv recurring visits are source of JOY and salts
faction to us which we rank with the pleasures of
life in Florida 1t is not section OF this land
which can look forward to an annual visit from
the salt of the earth people of intelligence and cul-
ture broad minded, liberal people, who bring down
with them something of the classical culture of New
England something OF the progressive spirit of the
middle west something of the hearty good will
and good fellowship of the mountain west. 1t is
good for us to mix with these good people and i'm
bibe something of their Astounding energy and pro-
gressiyeness. Through the long summer months
with which we blest. we apt to grow indif-
ferent, and somewhat languid. hence when the days
begin to shorten and touch of chill in the air
that such winter as we have is coming. we
perk up visbly and say each other. 1.-The tourists
are coming" and watch for their advent used
to for the first flowers of spring when lived in
And it is not solely from pecunary point of view
that we welcome these winter visitors although we
must admit that they leave quite amount of per-
fectly good money with us every year, which comes
handy in the settlement of grocery and other bills
We like to rub elbows with people whose views
of life differ somewhat own we like to ex-
change views with them upon the war, the ever
present Mexican trouble. the league of nations and
other things. And incdenty like to boast little
about Florida, which them is Gods own
country, and next door to the Garden Of Eden.
Hence enjoying these people as we do we take
little pains to lure the mhither. and to make
their stay pleasant while here so that they will
come again next year. We provide places where
they pitch quoits play croquet and other out
door games, and invite them to make themselves at
home We like to see them study the weather APP
in the city hail. and compare its figures of the tenn
perature back home" with what they are enjoying
in Florida at the present moment We like to think
the lure of Florida will be strong and compelling
to many of them that they will cast their permanent
lot With us. We know they never find any
better Ind this side of the heavenly one.-Tampa

Harbor improvement at St. Andrews

The effort being made to thirty foot depth
of water at the entrance of this bay should receive
the hearty and immediate cooperation of everyone
having the development of this wonderful harbor at
heart.
The rivers and harbors bill for the next congress
is now being prepared. II this Improvement is to be
provided for in that BILL there must be no time lost
in getting the facts before the board Of engineers
and securing action by them that will permit of this
project being brought up in this winters bill.
To do this will require active campaign and
quick work. If we don't secure action during the
coming winter the project will be delayed possibly
two years. before another rivers and harbors bill is
taken UP and acted upon in congress.
Already other places going before the board
with their projects and getting in their claims for
recognition. We must not lag in the race Delays
are dangerous. and will be very expensive to us in
the loss of promotion dependent upon obtaining
deeper water at the harbors entrance-St. Andrews

Birds Have Right Of Way.

Fowl have the right of way in air,
warns the director of military aero

birds flew first.
But this is not all. Recently many
towns along the Atlantic coast have
been visited with dead bird showers.
Aviators flying by a town would see a
flock OF wild fowl coming their way.
They would set their machine guns
and let the bullets fly.
Presently prominent citizen walk
