ma City to- New York. The possi-
bilities of West Florida as a point of
development have SO thoroughly i'm

ton provides for the deepening of the
harbor and already a government sur
vey has been made.

railroads in Guatemala and
Costa Rica but the South knows him
best as the man who brought the
first banana to this part of the coun-
try In spite of his 20 years he is
still a great controlling force in the
two tropical countries and power to
be reckoned with in America. When
II years old he had hardly dollar

worthily in Norman Hackett, although
