We notice that the great" and
good Times Union reprints from
other state papers the fish stories
which they relate, but it rarely, if
ever, reproduces The Herald s
stories. We suspected that our
metropolitan contemporary made
this discrimination because it
thought The Herald's fish stories
were fabulous but, last week, we
related one in which three emf
nent Jacksonvillians were the
chief actors and whose testimony
as to the truth of the story could
have been secured in two minutes
by the Times Union, but that par
agon of papers dismissed it with
a four-line editorial paragraph.
Why this discrimination? If you
don't believe our narratives,
come down here and we will give
you ocular proof of their truthful
ness, but we fear you wouldn't
believe the evidence Of your own
eyes.

Pleasant Observations

The presence at the press meet
ing on the 12th-14th of two vet
eran editors gave occasion to some
OF the newspapers, in their
write-up," to make pleasant re-
marks about the two old fellows.
Harry Brown, in his St. Angus
tine Record, said: "The presence
of that grand old man of the Press
Association. Hon. Frank Harris
of the Ocala Banner, and Of that
very likeable and renowned pisca-
torial romancer, Col. Adrian P.
Jordan, made up in a measure for
the absence of so many of the
old-timers like Senator j e
Humphries of Bradentown." "
Frank X. Anderson of the Bar
tow Courier-Informant, remark
ed: "Colonel Frank Harris Of
Ocala, and A. p. Jordan of Punta
Gorda, get their full modicum of
reverence and respect from the
press gang-the more so because
they don't bore their auditors
with stories of the long ago They
generally require encouragement
to be led into reminiscence."

The Jacksonville banks are car
rying on a systematic advertising
campaign. Perhaps h ey fin d
themselves in the situation Of the
Punta Gorda banks, which have
in their vaults thousands of dol
lars of cash on which they are
paying 4 per cent. interest and
nobody wanting to borrow at 10
per cent. or any other per cent.
Every body except the newspaper
man and the grocer has "skads"
of money, owns war bonds, and
belongs to the Don 't-give-a-Dam
branch of the Lime Kiln Club Of
sixty years ago. Verify, there is
prosperity in Punta Gorda.

Moore Haven and Rita, in a di-
rect line, are less than 70 miles
from Punt aGorda; but, if you
mail in Punta Gorda a letter or
package addressed to either of
those places, it goes north to
Lakeland, thence to Haines City,
thence south to point of destina-
ton, nearly 200 miles. If sent via
Fort Myers and the Caloosa-
hatchec, the distance would be
less than 100 miles. Something's
wrong.

Valuable Snakes

About a year ago, the Tropical
Sun OF West Palm Beach publish
ed a very valuable article about
Florida snakes. t h e Hera Id
wished to reproduce it, but it was
so wretchedly "butchered" by
either the author or the printer
that but few people would have
been able to understand it, if it
had been printed just as it ap-
peared in the Sun. I'VE hope the
Sun will correct and reprint it.
We have many snakes in Flori-
Ga that are of more value to farm
crs than even the birds, Of which
we hear and read so much. Many
OF the birds, quails, robbins, and
rice birds particularly, are frauds
and do much injury, but snakes
eat only mice, rats and bugs, and
never any vegetables.
The rattlesnake and cotton
mouth moccasin do a great deal
of good, but they are so dangerous
that they needs be killed. But
virtually all other snakes are of
incalculable value to farmers and
should be protected. They are
not poisonous. Those with long,
keen tails and sharp noses are /
harmless.

The e tie e led Apalachicola
Times is in error about The Her
aid editor being opposed to wo-
man suffrage. He has distinct
ly stated that he favors anything
the women want, but he wishes to
be authoritatively informed as to
what they want. Give us a plebis-
cite to inform us. The Herald is
advocating woman for mayor of
Punta Gorda, and, next year, it
may be advocating a woman for
representative in the legislature.
The Punta Gorda herald., 1919-06-26

The Herald cannot possibly un.
dertake to correct errors in com
munications sent in for publica-
ton. If the writer's wish their
spelling, grammar and rhetoric
put in correct shape, they must
get some friend to make the nee
essary corrections before the con-
tributions are sent in; otherwise,
they will appear just as they are
written.-N. B.-For heaven s
sake, don't send in any poetry"
Send it to the magazines.

That man Thorn, of the Palm
Beach Post, would have been a
fine preacher, if he had left off
his nonsense. He knows more
about the Bible than any other
editor in Florida and he quotes it
appropriately on the slightest
provocation. We thought we
knew something about the Bible,
but here's a splendid quotation
which Thorn gives us and which
we overlooked: "Be not one OF
them that strike hands, or of them
that are Sureties for debts. -
Proverbs, 22;26.
