IRWIN COBB, PHILOSOPHER

The gentleman with the short
name and the tall reputation whom
Miami has been privileged both to
hear and to have as guest for few
days has demonstrated himself to be
the latest of that long and much loved
line of American writer-lecturer-hum-
orists who have always stood for the
cream of the strictly American type
of humor. The line descends from the
ancient an glorious days when the
lectprer-humorist was supreme, when
Sidney Smith, Josh Billings, Bret
Harte and Mark Twain began that re.
markable, thoroughly American thing
known as the humorous lecture
And while nowadays the lecturer
is not so common, the weekly and
monthly magazine have given our
modern platform humorists a new
field and wider audience. OF these
latter days opponents Irwin Cobb is
easily the foremost His humor is
distinctively American, the humor OF
the vivid phrase, the lightning like
adjective and, above everything, the
supreme gift of happy exaggeration
1t is American and then it is also Cob

Florida Products Increasing

Some interesting facts are given
out IN a supplement to the Florida
Quarterly Bulletin, published by the
agricultural department of the state
and especially the comparisons and
gains made from 1912 to 1918. If the
report for 1919 were available it
would show even greater gains, it is
believed but the facts revealed in
this report furnish concrete evidence
OF the splendid progress that is being
made by Florida.
In 1912 the total acreage of crops
IN cultivation was 1,OOO,5 and the
total values amounted to $63,2S3. 297.
In 1918 the total acreage of crops un-
der cultivation was 1,636,9S3, an in
crease in six years of So per cent or
lo,S per cent a year. The total value
OF crops in 1918 was $141,262,776. an
increase in six years of 121 per cent
or more than 20 per cent year. In
the same period the live stock and
dairy interests have increased 1853 per
cent.
The total value of farm lands, live
stock, machinery, implements, poul.
try and bees in Florida in 1912 was
$1S4,0O1,SO1. In 1918 the total value
was $4O4,SO6,962, an increase of 12O
per cent in six years. Now look
at some comparisons with the United
States in this same six-year period.
The increase in acreage in the United
States, of all crops, was 16 per cent
while the increase in Florida was So
per cent or nearly four times as much
as the rest of the country. The in
crease in value Of all crops in the

United States was 81 per cent while
in Florida it was 121 per cent or near
ly four times as much as the average
Of the entire country.
There is certainly encouragement
in this report for those who have been
advocating the expansion Of our agri-
cultural horticultural and live stock
industries. 1t is apparent that we are
going ahead at pace that is about
four times as fast as that enjoyed by
the country as whole and those who
are in close touch with the varied de-
velopments in the state firmly believe
that we have just begun to strike our
stride and that the momentum given
the state by this startling increase
will accelerate all movements for ad-
vancement in the next five years.
Dairying, live stock and poultry has
been given wonderful impetus in
the past two years and with condi-
tfbns being improved by the elimina-
ton of the Texas cattle fever tick,
hog cholera and diseases Of all kinds
and the rapid introduction Of pure
breds and better grades the future
of these lines of industry is assured
and may easily place Florida in the
lead as dairying, live stock and
poultry state. Grain and forage crops
and better pasture are increasing con-
stantly and the great farm crops that
have been the Wanted boast of the
Northern and Western states are,
gradually coming into vogue in Florf
ida, which is proving that it can raise
almost anything and raise it better

as art is truth touched with emotion.
And yet while we give due credit
to Mr.. Cobb's ability to make use re-
member that laughter is gift &C
corded to man alone, we must not for
get that the great American humorist
is always a philosopher Josh Billings
was philosopher. Sidney Smith
was, and more and more we are rec
ognizing that Mark Twain the great
est of them all, was also the great.
est and most subtle of that class.
And so is Cobb.
He is not an involuted and celebral
cast Of philosophy. 1t is rather like
his story telling, easy and flowing and
intensely human. He believes in
plain things and plain people, in lit
eral democracy and common sense
and just enough sentimentality, II you
will, to keep US going. His is the
philosophy Of courage and critical
eye to ourselves In laughing with
Irwin Cobb, we should not overlook
