Reasonably Fair Prospects

The prospects for a good year and
future in Florida are reasonably fair.
Cold figures convey but little to real
understanding. One who has travel
ed over Florida will easily believe
there is no under-statemert of the
figures which give 57,395 motor We
hicles doing business regularly as
part of the Florida pleasure and
transportation system, Neither will
the man who travels seriously doubt
that there are 160,397 acres of cit
rus groves in the state. AND, il they
doubt this next statehent, ten visit
to Tallahassee and a few minutes
chat with the affable state treasurer
will assure them it is true the state
enters the year with cash balance
in it's treasury Of $1,825,899.96, and
with no state public debts except
few refunded bonds. S601,569, held
by the educational fund of the state
at a three per cent interest rate.
IN addition to these, it is interest
| ing to know from report of the
plant board, that Florida is every
whit citrus-growing state, there not
| being q single one of tle fifty-four
counties where there are no. as much
as two acres of citrus groves!
1t is every whit Corn-growing state,
for every county is breaking records
for acre yields. More pig clubs in
Florida for its population than in
my other state! And the girls can
ming clubs, if they would combine
and market their products through
one source. could show total of
production to make the Eastern
Shore of Maryland" sit up and take
notice of what is coming.
Beef cattle, dairy herds, hog farms
and general farming are growing so
common over the state that there is
no chance for the knocker to say
anything humiiiatingly untrue about
county without half a dozen men,
at least, right there being able to
rise up and call him liar, and prove
it on him.
More trucking successes than ever
before, moro big numbering indus
tries, more phosphate production,
more shipbuilding, more extension of
business, more building, and more
people coming in. Is there chance
for failure IN Florida?
We will tell the world there is not!

Ysdye Wins HOnOrS
With The Cincinnati
Symphony Orchestra
BY GEORGE WILLIAMSON.

An excellent orchestra with a Won
dertul conductor briefly epitomizes the
average comment heard at the Lyric
Wednesday night after the concert CIV
en- hy the Cincinnati symphony organi-
zation. While the attendance was keen
ly disappointing. many vacant seats
being noted, the ones who failed to
hear the program have only occasion
for regret, and no doubt when Eugene
Ysaye and his artists come again there
will be a great rush for a chance to
hear the organization,
This was the first visit to Memphis
OF the Cincinnati orchestra and some
how the full merit Of this one Of the
oldest orchestras in the country was not
fully appreciated. However. the lack
OF numbers was in a measure Compen-
stated for by the warmth Of apprecia-
ton for the work Of the conductor and
his aggregation of about SIS performers.
Eugene. Nsaye has been In Memphis
before, but only in the capacity Of violin
concertist, He was a delight then and
won a warm place in the minds Of those
who love real art, As a conductor he
added to his laurcls and amply Justified
the many fine things that have been
aid n written Of him. His artistry
extends further than the welding OF
the bow, he has the ability 10 organize
and train others and Undue them with a
measure OF his wi superior skill. The
orchestra members last evening dis
played talent which had been keenly
n intelligentlv directed and they
played at times as II one master mind
was in supreme control OF every fiber
Of their souls and bodies. 1t was this
smoothness of finish and approach TO
perfection Of execution which made
their work so ENJOYABLE. OF especial

TRIED TO PICK SCRAP
 WITH TWO OFFICERS

Constable John Parsons and Deputy Sheriff Billy O'Brien on Sunday stormed house in the western part of town occupied by Mrs, Adela Gurule Ynieto, whose husband works as sheepherder. They found Fran cisco Roblez there. Both were ar rested. The woman grabbed Billy by the coat tail and called to one of her children to bring a pistol, at the same time yielding an ugly club around Billy's head. ohm took the club away from her.
 The. arrest was made on the com plaint of peighhors. She is the same woman who was living with Mex ican last spring while the larter, with one of the woman's little boys, were breaking in and robbing places all over town. The man was sent to the pen and later the boy was taken to the reform school. Justice of the Peace R. J. Kidd gave the woman sixty days, then suspended the sem tence on condition that she at once leave the state. - m

 Before leaving the house, however, Mrs. Woodill showed the officers let ters proving that Mrs. Bisssnnette had Recently been under treatment for mental trouble. It was last spring. Mrs. Bissonnette had left here to go to Melrose, Mass, to visit Mrs. WOod- ill. who was then living there. At Chicago the police found her aimlessly wandering about the streets and de- tained her. Word was sent her hus- band here, who wired or wrote Mrs. Woodill, asking her to go to Chicago and get Mrs. Bissonnette and take her back home with her. The latter did SO, putting her in sanitarium in Massachusetts. As soon as Mrs. Bissonnette was able to travel, Mrs. Woodill brought her to Flagstaff. The latter's husband had recently died and she was working but give up her pO- sition on Bissonnette-s promise to pay her a salary if she would come here with his wife and remain and take care of her.
 Great sympathy is felt for Mrs. Woodill, who is refined, sweet wo- man and who is nearly prostrated over her sisters troubles and disap- pearance. It is felt that Mrs. Bisson- nette, already i'll and near nervous breakdown, partly induced by heart trouble, has lost entire control of her self mentally because of the trouble attendant upon her husbands strange disappearance. She has not heard of him since he left here the latter part of July.
 Mrs. Bissonnette had about $100 with her when she left. It was dis covered this week that she had left $30, with which to pay the rent on her home, in the, Bible.
