few things are Of greater benefit to
the public than beautiful tree-border-

FLORIDA THE BLESSED

With blizzards sweeping in the
north and west week after week; with
snow piled so high that all traffic has
been seriously restricted; with many
people suffering because Of made
quate transportation for coal and food
stuffs and from the biting. blasting.
death-dealing winds which have car
ried suffering to so many, the marve-
lous climate advantages Of Florida
and OF many other portions Of the
south stand out in mixed contrast
While the north has been wrapped in
snow end ico-kound. and while the
blizzard h@ye swept over the land rs
never before, Florida mas been bless
ed beyond the power Of words to de-
scribe.
It has been a little colder this whit
er in that state than in many former
years, but there has not been a day
during the entire winter when the
flowers were not blooming luxuriantly
in every part of the state. There has
not been day when there could not
be found in any town in the state an
abundant supply of home-raised vege'
tables, such as beets and celery and
lettuce and cabbage and potatoes ard
beans and all the long list Of vege-
tables. which in the north and west do
not mature until late in the summer.
There has been no weather sufficient
ly cold to seriously injure any OF these
winter crops, with the exception Of
a very limited area in one part OF the
state. Vegetation of this kind has
given to the winter visitors and the
permanent residents an increasing
supply of fresh foodstuffs such as the
north and west can only secure by
shipment from Florida during the
winter or from the honle-raised pro
ducts later in the summer
Through all the biting, blasting
blizzards, which have brought misery
and loss running into The hundreds
Of millions, in the aggregate 70 the
north and west, Florida has been apis
to give a new demonstration OF It's
unequaled advantages.

WILL VOTE THE BOND ISSUE

Mr.. A. G Blowers, chairman of the
campaign committee appointed by the
Marion County Board of Trade, and
Louis H. Chazal secretary, made a
trip Monday to the northern part Of
the county and found the sentiment
strongly in favor Of the, proposed
Bond Issue to build the Dixie High
way, and straight road No. through
Marion county. They found that many
who opposed the issue of last Decem-
ber will vote for the issue and cleo
tion of April goth, believing that the
new proposition is very much better
than that of December. The Bond
Issue which will be voted upon April
Goth is looked upon as a more bust.
ness like proposition. The voters are
impressed with the fact that the coun-
ty cannot afford to overlook the $780,
900 state and federal funds which will
be spent upon these two roads, if the
county votes to spend the $3.50, 600, nor
the fact that the two roads upon com
pletiOn will be taken over and main.
tanned by the state highway depart
ment, thus relieving the county of the
present heavy cost of upkeep in the
Dixie Highway The voters are also
impressed with the fact if Marion
county fails to get the $500 from
the state and federal funds this sum
will go to some other county, and the
people of Marion county will have TO
pay their proportion of the taxes by
which these funds are raised just the
same.
From other sections of the county
the reports on the proposed Bond Is
sue are just as favorable. From now
on the campaign committee will leave
nothing undone that will insure the
carrying of the election on April 20th
There are still quite a number Of
voters who have not paid poll tax.
Saturday, March 27th is the last day
these taxes can be paid by those who
wish to vote in the bond election. To
vote in this election both the 1918 and
1919 poll taxes must be paid. They
must be paid by the voters in person.
From now on the campaign com
mittee expects every gcod citizen Of
Marion county to talk bonds, boost for
bonds, and to prepare to vote fOf
bonds on April Goth
