Liberty Distributor Relates
How Strike Of Fluid so Miles
Out in Desert From Dallas
Starts Stream Of Traffic.

Another reason why the motor car
companies are so hard put to it to keep
their production somewhere, within
hailing distance OF demand is cited by
Howard Harvey. Liberty distributor of
Dallas, Texas.
Out in the desert someone discovered
oil-and the rush began.
1t was only then a day or so before
a steady procession of passenger cars
and trucks began making endless trips
to and from this patch of land 30 miles
away from Dallas, which was, until
the discovery, no more than desert
waste.
The town, still nameless at the time
of this writing, is built of tents which
were hauled in automobiles from the
railway more than so miles distant.
The population was well over 1900 peo-
pie by the time drilling commenced.
Days are busily spent in preparation
Tor sinking the wells, and in rushing
to completion the giant tanks which
government restrictions require in or

Good Health Based on Whole
some Food Habits.

Good food habits include more
than leisureiy eating, cleanliness
and order in everything that has
to do with food and meals.
Equally important are liking
for all kinds of wholesome foods,
even if they have not always been
used in the home or neighbor-
hood, and eating reasonable a.
mounts, without being either
greedy or over-dainty. Every eff
fort should be madeito train child
rem in such good food habits,
urges the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. If older
people have not learned them,
they, too, should try to do SO, for
such things are important not
only to health but also ito econ
omy. To refuse to cat some
wholesome dish because i is new
may prevent the use of some very
desirable and economical food.
To feel that there is any virture
in providing more food than is
NEEDED shows poor taste as well as
economy.
The health and appearance Of
the family makes a good test of
the wholesomeness of the diet. II
the members are strong well
developed for their ages, free
from ailments, and full of energy
and ambition, it may safely be
said their food agrees with them
But if they are listless and ailing,
or not well developed either ply,
sically or mentally as they should
be, and If. competent physician
finds that there is no special dis
ease to account for these bad
symptoms, a mother may wei ask
herself if the food is right, and if
not, how she can make it so.
In such cases she might, for in
stance, apply for information on
food and diet to her State leader
IN agriculture and home econom-
les and to the home-economics
department Of her State agricul-
tural college.

Daniel Wright Child Dead

Daniel Wright Child, aged 70
years, died at his home in Area
dia on Wednesday night, May 7th,
1919. He was a native of Yer
mont and had travelled extensive
ly.
He left Vermont and settled in
Missouri where he married Miss
Neva Chase. Later they went to
Colorado. He remained in Col
orado a quarter OF a century,
where he was engaged in stock
raising.
The panic of 1892 cost him his
extensive stock ranch and two
years later he came to Florida.
In 1898 he went to Porto Rico
with@the American army and the
next year went to Cuba, where he
again engaged in the stock busi-
ness.
He came back to Florida and
engaged in stock raising at Muir
deck, where he started a horse
ranch and farm.
He had a home at Arcadia and
his time was spent there and at
his farm.
He is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Neva c. Child, three sons,
Daniel Child, of Murdock; T. Ed.
Child, Arcadia, and Royal B.
Child, a newspaperman of Lake
land, one of the proprietors Of the
Advertiser; a sister, Mrs. c. c..
Colby, Of Stanstead, P. O., Can. !;
a brother, George Edwq d Child,
of Weybridge, VT, and numerous
other relatives.
Mrs. I'll. c. Crysler, a niece, of
Vermont, was with him at the
time of his demise.

ty of South Florida sympathise

remind the state. press of this
splendid product of the Advertis-
err, for all Florida newspapers
knew about it and most of them
pave deserved credit. All of
them know that the Lakeland
Advertiser is run by men who are
not only able and conscientious
editors, but artistic printers as
well. One of them, Royal B.
Child, is a DeSoto county man,
and he has many friends in this
county who are delighted to know
that he is making a big success in

who is feebly editing this paper
is now experiencing the truth of
the Scotch bard's saying.
The Cocoa Tribune, which is
edited by that amiable and ac-
complished lady, Mrs. c. HI.
Holdcrman, says:
"One of the best newspaper
men in the state, A. P. Jordan of
Punta Gorda, announces that in
June he is going to turn over his
place to an all-around newspaper
man who knows the business from
a to z and go to Nicaragua or
Costa Rica, start revolution and
have some fun and rest. And if
Jordan says he is going to do that,
we just about believe he will do it,
as he is capable of anything he
undertakes, but we will add to
our prayers those of the whole
newspaper fraternity of Florida
that he will go through that rev.
olution unharmed, and get beck
into the game with the return OF
winter, as he is the fearless and
clever sort of man whom we can
not afford to lose from our num-

Thanks, many thanks, sister
for your very high compliments,
which we feel we. do not deserve,
though they are deeply appreci-
ated. But, alas The "all-around
newspaper man" to whom we had
hoped to turn over this wretched
little sheet and its worries and
vexations, has found something
better, has accepted it and is now
earning twice as much as The
Herald can pay him. Conse-
quently, we are compelled to de-
fer indefinitely the proposed vaca-
ton and Central American revo-
luton. This is great disap-
pointment, but we hope to get
some recompense for it when the
political campaign opens next

other able and patriotic editors
