OPTIMISM IN POLK COUNTY
Written for the I ampa Tribune by M. F.
Hetherington)

Editor Tribune: In complying with your com
pllmenary request that | furnish your paper some
comments on Optimism and tho Future" | sIail
treat the subject from the angle with which am
most familiar, and shall send brief message of
good cheer from rural south FIorida-recognizing
that your splendid city will primarily benefit from
any program Of prosperity that may be enjoyed
by the wonderful section OF which it is the me-
ropolis.
The air Of south Florida is permeated with Opt
mlsm. even as its brcezes arc laden with the won
derfu odor of orange blossoms One locks with
amazement the splendid record of achievement,
of recent years, but feels that the work Of teveI-
opment-ol empire building--has only begun Not
a great while ago. the writer printed statement
which was much discussed, that, in his belief, the
time not far distant when every acre of tilIabIe
land in Florida would be worth not less than s 90
per acre Land which at the time that statement
was made, could have been bought for IS Der
acre, now commands s 90. and in many instances
an even higher price. A proporIionatc increase in
land values in south Florida may be confidently ex-
pectcd for some years to come. The man who
bought land ten years ago for 0 to $40 per acre.

few captious papers like the Miami Mcrup
oils are stirring up eagles nests by contending
more or less anonymously that "It is nc" should
be used wherever desired on the ground that it
is as correct as 1T is L.
We dissent.
Nothing that is wrong be correct even if
the Metropolis says so. AS solid as any rule of
grammar and beautiful as any mode of speech
is the musical expression: 1T is l." For five
hundred years, the English people have used it
and the bars should not be lowered merely be-
cause hurrying age hasn't time to drill itself
in the use OF dignihed English
Every user of English should count himself
committee of one to stand at the breach and pre-
vent the muddy current OF careless language from
bulging into the pure historical stream of the
Kings speech There is too great tendency to
overlook the beauty of speech and adopt the
mapnersms of Indifference.
II one is as correct as another, why teach the
speech? The English language is VIGOROUSLY in
volved. But there are good reasons for it. And
new words built into the language, they
should be shaved to fit into the wellknown
canons of right expression.
THE copulatve takes the nominative, never
the accusatve.' Have care, for the sake of
thousands who have wrought well in the use of
terton. Wells, Hopkins Smith and Ben Johnson
are good leaders. Better ,foow them than the
Metropolis.

cnvied by the present day investor, who has the
opportunity of buying for 500. and selling for
$50 or more. The profit per acre in the one
might have been $40; the potential profit of
today's buyer is $50 an acre and upward
Rural south Florida can send message to the
city in regards as its commercial CENTER that there
is Everything in existing conditions to beget and fos-
ter optimism. with nothing to indicate the posi-
bilily of the appearance of the specter Of hard
times. Because this is not manufacturing seq
ton, there has been comparative freedom from the
industrial unrest that has been prevalent through
out the country, and there is no such thing as un-
employment Development work is progressing
steadily, in some Instances on large scale, and
with the expenditure Of considerable capital, but
generally in home and grove building by sat
Ished settlers from many sections of the country.
AS an instance Of one phase Of this development.
there is solid block of citrus planting seven miles
from Lakeland, which, in few years. will yield
more fruit than the entire crop produced in the
state of Florida twenty years ago. Any one who
has lived in this section for the past twenty years
marvcs at the transformation that has taken place,
whereby the wilderness and waste places have been
converted into fruitful farms and groves, thriving
villages and towns have sprung up as il by magic,
and crossroads stores have grown into Aourishing
little cities. This remarkable growth and devel-
opment afford an earnest of what the next two de-
cades will bring forth. and furnish the most sub
stantal basis for the south Flordians optimism
A section of wonderful and varied resources.
with climate unequaled elsewhere on the conti-
neDt. unique in geographical location. and in the
character of its products, it is little affected by in
dustria strife, by the financial storms that rage
elsewhere. Each year, as its advantages become
beter known, new capital and new energy are
attracted to assist in its upbuilding. At this time
a conservative estimate places the number of tour
lists in this locality at least 20 per cent greater
than any preceding year, and presumably this is
a large average for all south Florida. A large
proportion Of these visitors are potential investors
home builders, developers. During the next few
years CONTINUOUS and cumulative increase in popu-
laton. in land values and in general prosperity is
inevitable. This advance. cannot be checked by
any temporary depression. if. indeed. this condi-
ton should make itself felt here. which thus far
seems unlikely. The business men of South Flor
ida were never more confident or more optimistic
than at this time, and their faith in the future
abundantly justified by the splendid record of re-
cent years.

WOMAN CRlTIclzES HER SEX
Opinion That Women as a Whole
Are Unreasonable.

Women says the average man in
his moments of irritation, 'are un-
reasonable They drive fellow
mad"
And the same man is instantly
SWEPT by such hurrirane Of abuse
as to make him sorry once more that
he has spoken.
There Is no charge which the mod
ern woman resents more than that Of
unreasonableness. She prldes herself
on her cool head and capable judg-
ment She expresses contempt of
her sister Of other times-an un-
balanced creature, with no mimi of
her own about anything, nor desire TO
develop one. Yet. despite her pro-
fessed common sense. one wonders
now and then whether the modern
woman is actually as reasonable as
she imagines.
We stand up for our rights nova
days We claim complete equality
with man; freedom to enter all his
empires, and even to govern them If
we feel disposed Yet we aren't con
tent with what we get.
He makes way for us; he gives us
our chance to rival him In all that he
does; he mostly manages to curb his
tongue when it would cry out follies
too bitterly. All this we consider our
due and give no thanks for it.

OF late years France has begun to
evince an interest in the Kerguelen
islands, discovered by the French navi-
gator, Kerguelen Tremarec in 1872.
According to Henry Boissiere, who,
with his brother, has devoted himself
to the development of these islands,
they will soon become a prosperous
colony. They contain no trees, but an
immense quantity Of n fodder plant,
a species of cabbage, which is eagerly
eaten by horses, sheep, pigs and rab-
bits. Rabbits, rats and mice are the
only Indigenous animals. There is al
so a single bird, the sheathbill, which
lives In company with the sea birds.
The sea elephants. which had been
practically exterminated by 1S40 are
now again very numerous. The waters
round the islands. also abound in
whales. and it is upon the whale and
sea elephant fishery that the hopes
Of developing useful colony rest.

AS TO FACTS AND FIGURES
Nature Seems to Have Laid Down
Some Rules to Which She Rath-
er Rieldly Adheres.

Why do tall persons have narrow
noses2 There are many exceptions.
but this is the rule.
The type Of the nose that we call
"aquline" is much more common in
tail people than in those of short
stature. On the other hand, short
people are much more apt to have
Hat or snub noses.
Tall men are usually long-headed,
while most short men have round or
broad heads.
Tall persons usually have small
mouths II is the short people who
mostly have big mouths.
short people in a great majority OF
instances have short or round faces.
Long faces 90 more often with supe-
rior height.
This is not at all surprising. Tall
people have tendency to longpess
throughout their anatomical structure.
Usually their noses are long Their
arms and legs are long. The height
Of most very tall persons is mainly
in their legs. Short people. on the
other hand, are apt 10 he short in ail
parts Of their physique.
