A Libel On Florida

Attention has been called before to
unfair positions in which Florida has
been placed by the Country Gentle
man" either through the ignorance
of the writer and the lack of an ed
itorial censor, or the wilcul intent TO
hurt this states agricultural inter
ests for the building up CT a clientele
in the west or elsewhere, says the
Tampa Tribune.
Again the Country Gentleman
stands convicted of unfairness, if not,
indead. of actual libel on the state,
through the publication CT map, in
connection with story: 'Soll-Our
Basic Wealth." by John r. McMahon'
This map is keyed and marked in sec
tion5 to correspond with that key IL
is called "Soil Map of the United
States, based on the newest data op-
tanned by the bureau of soils, depart
ment of agriculture. Drawn Tor the
Country Gentleman" This alleged
soil map" diagrams the greater part
of the south Atlantic states, Mlssls-
sippi, Alabama and al! Louisiana eX-
ce2t the alluvial lands along the Fa-
ther of Waters, as "silty or sand,
light color, generally leached out and
poor"
The whole of Florida is put down
as Desert" along with Nevada, most
of Arizona and New Mexico, western
Texas and eastern Oregon!
The issue of the Country Gentle
man containing this ignorant libel on
one of the richest agricultural states
in the union, is March 6. The
Tribune wishes every trade organ
.ization in the state, every newspaper
and every public official in congress
and on down through the line to the
magistrates constables to protest
loud and long and demand a retrac-
ton of this falsehood on Florida and
an explanation and apology.-Fort

The Country Press

Among the many things which the
war brought home to the nation was
the big part played and the big in
rluence welded in American life by
what-fOr want of better tern-is
generally referred to as the small
town or country newspaper.
There was time when the coun-
try newspaper and the country edi-
tor were the butts of jo''es ald the
signals for smiles. That time is past;
gone, we believe, forever. The
war helped to do it, fer the war, as
in many other instances, jolted the
sophisticated ard lazy national con-
sCioucnCGs into the realization of the
importance, the Significance and the
genuine worth Of the country press.
One of the proudest pages in the
history of Americas share in the
war is that devoted to TIE universal
and answering loyalty OF its news
papers which, almost without excep-
ton, gave the most Selfless sort Of
service TO the common cause Of coun-
try Ard Of Americas newspapers,
the patriotism and service OF none
were more marsed than that of the
country papers. Their Part cannot
be overestimated; their reward is IN
gaining a recognition, whicn they al
ways deserved, Of Gn importance
which they haze always possessed
and which will be theirs in q greater
degree than ever hencefcrth.
The country newspaper las a
character and an individuality all
its own. 1t occupies, however small
a position in the community which
no other newspaper, however big,
caa displace. Without Cisparaglng
in the least the larger dailies, they
can not, by their very nature, even
dispute the peculiar field which the
country paper and it alone occupies
Il has the place OF an institution IN
the community life. q place all It's
own in the community heart, and 1t
should have the loyal and whole
hearted community support. -- REQ

Through the Commercial Club
Punta Gorda is going to be advertis-
ed more during the coming year than
in any five previous years. Colonel
Gribble, who owns the Thos. Cusack
Poster Advertising Co., of Louisville,
bulletins last year, tells us that if he
has any available bulletins this year
he will use them to boost Punta Cor
da; Benny Krause, owner Of the car
nival that bears his name, is display
ing a banner and spreading the good
news by word of mouth and distribu-
ton of literature; L. Stallo, another
Snowman and Punta Gorda booster, is
doing likewise; Thos. Clark, who will
reach practically every town in two
Southern states during the summer,
will distribute literature; Punta Cor
da will be given at least a page in
the Southern Tourists Guide; the
Florida Development Board will prob
ably do something toward advertis-
ing the town, having asked for data
and photographs; and the CONNER
cial Club will have several thousand
copies of a booklet fer distribution
and will probably use considerable
space in few selected mediums.
And all of this will cost the town
nothing (excert, of course, for
photographs and the booklets and
advertising to be done by the Com
mercial Club The town would
lose all this free advertising If it
were not for the Commercial Club.

About the siTliest address Of the

the Cattlemen's Association, against
a no-fence law. How any intelligent
man, as he appears to be, can argue
to himself or others that he has a
right to run his woods cattle upon
the land of another man who has in

beyond comprehension. And when
he gees beyond this and CRATES upon
his loyalty and public-spiritedness in
doing this unjust thing to another
man he makes himself ridiculous. If
Mr.. Carson wants to raise cattle, why
does he not invest his money in graz

Explanation Called For

While the governor is on the
stump telling the people about what
he calls, the short c0mings of Sen
ator Fletcher, there are some things
he ought to explain about himself
The report of the state treasurer
has just been issued. The people
may easily get this report by writing
for it. 1t shows the receipts and eX-
penditures for 1919. The general
balance sheet shows collections by
the treasurer to be six million, three
hundred and thirty four thousand,
twenty-five dollars and fifteen cents,
and the outgo for the same time, to
be six million, three hundred sixty
nine thousand, seven hundred and
fifty-three dollars and ninety-nine
cents. This would make, if we cal
culate correctly, an outgo of twenty
five thousand, seven hundred and
twenty-eight dollars and eighty-four
cents more than the income.
Explain that, governor.
Then, too, we notice that the sal
aries in the executive department
(the governors office) were twenty
seven thousand dollars.

bounced that if defeated in lis candl-

There is no reason to believe that
Florida can ever catch UP with the
demand for citrus fruits. The terri
tory that will produce satisfactory
fruit successfully is limited and the
demand will be unlimited as soon as
transportation facilities are equal to
the task of distributing the crop.
This is what the Sebrirg White Way
had in mind when it said: Doctors,
educators, and men of learning are
working overtime advocating citrus
fruit as part of the daily diet from
the cradle to the grave. Therefore
it follows that our one problem Is to
increase production and induce the
railroads to furnish us with sufficient
cars to move the fruit. Fortunately
for Florida, increased production is
possible. ."-Lakelard Advertiser.

Notable southern Growth

was also that Of Paducah, at the
mouth of the Tennessee river and
near the mouth of the OEio. Macon,
Ga, and Chattanooga, Tenn, shOy up
mLTl more strongly, with a gain in
bOth since 1910 of 20 per cent.
Chattanooga now has a total of ST.
900 ard Macon of $1,000, though
both considered themselves almost
wrecks at the erd Of the Civil war
MaCon's pOpulati IN in 1870 was un-
