FLORIDA BUILDING
industrial Index

Readers of the Industrial Index must have been
impressed, in recent weeks, by the volume of
building in Florida cities. towns and villages.
Florida has the habit of always coming to bat
in building way when home run is needed
This was true during the dark days following the
the precipitation of the world-war when the very
bottom seemed to fall out of both business and
building in this country. 1t was true during the
past winter, when building Jagged in the South
on account of the rapid decline in the price of
cotton and other conditions which, it seems, had
not been discounted fully in advance, even by the
best informed and most conservative minds.
The building reports from Miami, West Palm
Beach. Tampa and other Florida cities have BEEN
and are particularly heartening.
Not that building in the Southeast is confined
to Florida-Sprng building is opening up nicely
all along the line, nOw--but the Peninsular state
has been particularly progressive in this respect
and deserves special commentator

As Others See It
NEW METHOD OF SHIPPING
(Times.Union,)


FLORIDA oranges and grapefruit may be
had by the consumer in sealed fiber containers
carrying one, two, or three dozen to the package
at cost it is claimed, of fifty per cent less than
under the old SYSTEM" says the Fort Myers Press.
1.-THE first packing house in Florida to Introduce
the new method is the Florence Villa Growers
Exchange, which is using the fibre containers.
The exchange plans to pre-cool, pack and ship
its fruit in individual packages, reaching the con
sumer through the chain of stores of the coun-
try While it is not at all probable that the geu-
eral handling of citrus fruit will be changed any
way at once, it will be very satisfactory to thou
sands everywhere if they can buy the fruit in
small original packages and be fairly certain of
getting uniform quality and size in a convenient
way. Few individuals buy citrus fruits by the box
or even by the half box, as now shipped. the
great majority of users getting the fruit loose,
and in smaller quantity than the standard pack
ages. If 1t is convenient to buy original pack
ages of dozen, two or three dozen the use
of citrus fruit will be greatly increased and
many families will add them to their regular
purchase instead of getting them occasionally

THE TOURIST CROP

Why anybody should feel ashamed Of the fact
that the tourists constitute the best CROP in Flor
ida. is hard to comprehend The fact is unalter-
able, and if it could be altered the injury 10 the
slate would be immeasurable.
Florida task is to feed and house large per-
centage of the population of the north through the
winter months: 1t is big business. perfectly legi-
innate, honorable and pleasant. and capable Of
unlimited expansion 1t ought to be recognized as
such, organized, regulated to such an extent at
least as to eliminate the occasional pro6teer and
conducted Systematically
Figures not available as to the number OF
visitors this winter. They may not have exceeded
half million, But there are probably five mil
lion people in the United States who would come to
Florida each winter for brief visit or stay of
months. if they properly invited. made to feel
at home. and assured that the visit would not be
too costly
Florida could afford to advertise to the world
that it could take care of al-winter tourists more
cheapy than they could stay at home 1t could af-
ford to make it economically worth their while
to spend the winter here. And it would still have
a better margin of profit than in any other indus
try conducted in the state
Why not do it3 Suppose the tourist crop could
be doubled, what tremendous impetus it would
give to every industry. What an amount of new
building it would require. What progress it would
mark
Yet doubling the tourist crop would be the
easiest thing in the world All that would be
necessary would be to provide accommodations
not at war prices, but at reasonable percentage
above cost-and let the world know that it was
prepared to take care of all corners.

With the growth of democratic

caught the vision and in recent years
its people have labored just as zeal

the public school than they did in the
earlier days for the famous private
institutions. Too much credit cannot

development of this spirit 1t has re-
suited in such gifts during the past
ten years to the public schools here
as finds no parallel perhaps in any
similar community of the state. Dur
ing the past decade more than $4,000
has been given by public spirited citi-
zens of Culleoka to supplement- the
public school fund in order that the
boys and girls of this section, regard,
