Build, Not Destroy

"The greatest good to the
greatest possible number" is a
motto that tends to build up and
not destroy. DeSoto county needs
it put into practice. Hundreds
homesteaded in this county and,
if they had received the right
kind of advice, encouragement
and assistance, there would have
been almost that number of pro-
ducing farms where there are now
only abandoned fields and decay
ing farm buildings. The govern
ment has spent millions in ere
claiming" desert land in New
Mexico and Arizona. Florida land
needs no "reclaiming;" it only
needs draining. One-fourth as
much per acre as was spent in
"reclaiming" New Mexican and
Arizona land, would have drained
the Florida acre, and it will pro-
duce as much again as the ere
claimed" acre in those states.
Why the discrimination?

Always With us

The poor, according to the book
of books, is always with us. There
are several kinds of poor. There
is the kind that is poor in purse
only and that is the kind the Bible
referred to, but that is not the
worst kind of poor yet. The
poorest of the poor is the man who
is lacking in the spirit of human
kindness; the one in whose breast
there turks not one thought of
the sufferings or rights of others
the man who, in order to gain his
ends, will crush the weaker hui
man being ruthlessly. The man
who reaps where he has not sown
and gamers that which was sown
by others--this is the man who is
curse to any community. He
that is without charity is the
chief of sinners, to reverse the
Bible.

Thursday evening, 23rd, the pres

Ter, who gave an address along
the lines of the quality of recrea-
ton to be observed, and started
out with views which were radi-
cally broad, which our class of
tourists conservative and disposed
to moderation, might not contem-
plate favorably, to be to their lik-
ing to enter into any form of rec
reation which perhaps had long
been forbidden at their own fire.
side. 1t seemed evident there
were those present to hold to their
lunexpressed convictions against
taking up with prohibited lines of
recreation, such as smoking and
card playing. Our chairman was
not slow to fall into accord with
the compromise suggested in a
heightened exposition on the re-
strictions in social efforts, by Rev.
G. T, Blanchet, minister of the
Episcopal church here.
Tourist visitors engaged freely
in the discussion which followed,
and the proposition arising to a.
dept certain days when the ladies
should be admitted and take part,
seemed to settle the matter that
unrestricted social recreations
should not obtain in the club
room.
Mr.. F. P. Row of Metropolis,
Ills, led in a proposition to ar
range for an entertainment, some
very near day, and to solicit our
accomplished local talent to favor
the tourists. A committee form
ing authority for that purpose
was given to Mr.. Row to prepare

In nearly all other states and

the producer can sell directly to
the consumer and both profit
thereby. There was talk Of Great
