GETTING WORK IN FLORIDA

a The suggestion of Secretary Willis
NJ. Powell, Of the Lake county cham
Ter of commerce that publicity be
given to the opportunities for secur-
ing employment in Florida, is we'll
worthy of attention. In that respect,
as the Norida Development Board
points out, Florida scores one on Cal
ifornia. Nobody is wanted in the
Golden State unless he brings the
cash with him to pay for all he needs
while there.
In this state it is certainly true
that large percentage of the tourists
can and do find employment. A great
many thus become permanent resi-
dents. Others render valuable assist
ance in carrying on its industries at a
time when extra work Is needed. A
few northern farmers are learning
that 1t is possible to raise summer
crop in the north and winter crop
here. The opportunities for engaging
in something which will at least pay
expenses while enjoying the best win
ter climate on earth are many, and
could be increased by judicious man
agement. 1t is we'll to understand
that the man who is doing something
here is, in reality, adding more to the
wealth Of the state than the man who
is merely spending something.

PUT FLORIDA INTO LITERATURE

While this paper would be the las!
to hint that Florida's excellent col
;eges and schools should become
agencies for exploiting the state in q
commercial way, there is one kind OF
publicity which they can appropriate
~ encourage. They can inspire such
OF their pupils as are literarily in
cline to tilize the abundant material
afforded BY the history, traditions and
society Of Florida, IN tuilding up a
distinctive literature Of the state.
What that means tC a state may be
appreciated by Study Of California.
The early history of California Is less
romantic than that If florida; ys:
writers have invested it with an in
terest which permits none to escape
its influence. The traditions of the
ArgoGauts" are less picturesque
Than the legends of tle I.lates AMI
smueglers who once infe,ed our
coasts. But Bret Harte cYea; ed a ra ,e
OF miners, gamblers, castsways and
human nondescripts. which never hal
any zeal existence on sea or land,
and save them local nahltation in
California.
Nothing in modern times is more
pathetic than the history of the Semi
noles of Florida. Yet we are permit
ting 1t to become only fading men,
DRY. With material Of less intrinsic
value, Helen Hunt Jackson gave the
world masterpiece Of fiction, with
California for background. Not only
did the book itself go to the utter
mostsparts of the earth, but It was
the progenitor of hundreds of maya
zine articles. and perhaps dozen
other books, describing "Ramona's
country and incidentally giving
southern California an incalculable
amount of free advertising.
Such instances could be multiplied
Indefinitely. There is Scarcely a
square mile Of California's immense
territory; scarcely a single insignif-
cant incident in her history or tradi-
tons; scarcely single feature of her
business, political or social life-that
has not been the subject Of books or
magazine articles, all with the newt
able pictures of California scenery
and California life.
Florida is not, Of course, entirely
without place in current literature;
but that place is insignificant as COM
pared with her merits and possibili-
Hes, To continue the odious compar-
ison one step farther, 1t may be cited
that In the year 1919, in the Readers
Guide, the standard index Of periodi-
cal literature, Just three articles are
indexed under the name Of Florida.
while over forty are indeed under
the name OF California. In one four
year period, that Of 1910 70 1914, the
same authority shows sixteen articles

MRS. MARTHA L. KELSEY
PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY

Martha l.. Kelsey, wife of John M
Kelsey. passed away about S:43 last
evening at the family residence, 20S
West Oliver street, after years of i'll
health.
Mrs. Kelsey was born sixty eighr
years ago in Massachusetts, and came
to Lakeland four years ago.
The cause Of death was dropsy, but
Mrs. Kelsey had been an invalid for
years, and was blind. also. for sew
eral years past. She endured her uf-
fering and affection with a fortitude
that revealed a wonderful sweetness
and strength Of soul.
A short funeral service was held
this morning at 10 o'clock at the Gen
lry-Futch chapel, Dr.. G. l. Stacey
presiding.
The body, accompanied by the sor.
rowing husband, is being taken to
bingham, Mass, for interment.
Mrs. Kelsey leaves, besides her
husband, Arthur s. Kelsey, Of Hing
ham, Mass, and Mrs. R. N. Nicker
son of Lakeland. She also leaves a
little granddaughter, Bernice NJ,
Nickeren who has shown a beautiful
devotion to her invalia grandmother
Mrs-s Kelsey was held in the high
est affection and regard by all who
knew her, and the family hate the
sympathy of wide circle of friends
in their loss.

riodicals of general circulation, and
$50 relating to California, About the
same ratio seems to prevail through
the other numbers of that index,
It would be useless to mention this,
IL it did not suggest an imperative
duty which the writer's of Florida owe
tc their state. 1t is not because they
have nothing to tell that the people
of Florida and of the South in gen
eral are reticent. They have mex
haustible mines of material right at
their hands. But they have been de-
tered in the past by characteristic
which is peculiarly southern.
Professor E. A. Ross. the we'll
known sociologis!, discusses this trait.
He relates that in his travel through
the South he met plain, unknown
man who had devoted much of his life
~ the study of botany. He had dis
covered new species of plants and no.
ted new characteristics of old species.
He had the learning, the knowledge
and the ability, to write valuable
books on that subject. But he had
never written line He had been re-
strained by a sort of pride from enter
ing the publishing competition. The
South is full Of these mute inglopi-
GUS Millions" who need only a strong
incentive to expression to put their
part of the country before the world
in an entirely new light.
Where can the son or daughter Of
Florida, educated in Florida schools.
familiar with the most delicate shades
Of Florida character, stepped In the
lore of Floridas romantic past, find
a more inspiring subject for pen or
brush than Florida itself? 1t Is a
state of glorious sunsets, of azure
skies, of marvellous cloud forms, of
shimmering lakes, Of birds which set
a good example to man by congregat
ing here in the winter, Of flowers
whose blossoming time knows no sea-
sons, of glades wherein the wise old
Spaniard knew that the fountain Of
youth could be found if anywhere on
earth, of soil and sunshine and rain
which mingling in generous proper
ton produce fruit which is the envy
Of the world, of legends and tradi-
tons teeming with all that touches
the heart and stirs the blood of man.
II our institutions of learning
would devote their utmost efforts to
their pupils with the desire
to tell this wonderful story and paint
this marvellous picture they could
do more in decade to make Florida
known and loved among the people Of
the outside world than all the efforts
of organized publicity can accomplish
in a century.

London, Dec. 2nd.-Sir Root. Horne,
President of the British Board Trade,
speaking at Manchester, said that he
did not not believe that the present
slump in trade would be of long dura-
ton, but prices must come down. The
proportion Of goods which the Dominions
received from Great Britain, said Sir
Robert, was less now than before the
war. The United States has got into
the colonial markets. Great Britain
should do everything to recover the full
est measure of It's trade with the great
dominions, 1t was also no longer any
use to say we want trade with Russia be-
cause of her Government. Great Bri-
tain must trade there sooner or later and
it was no good waiting.
