The Florida Development board
warns all who are solicited TO buy wall

ton has been printed BY one firm In
northern city which do not show

The first Eafutaticn 20 every I'M
known solicitor or peddier should be
to see his or her license for doing bus
sness in ycur city. II a license IL not
shown. promptly notify the proper city
officials, so they can apprehend the
party, An investigation made by the
Florida Development board shows that
high license fees are provided for in
the various cities. but the solicitors
confidentially report that few of the
cities collect the license fees. for the
reason that the solicitors work largely
thxprgin the residence section, where
the housewives seldom ask to see a Ii
cenae. and those making such inquiry
rarely take the time to report TO the
city officials that there Is an unli-
censed solicitor IN their neighbor-
hood. There are only three or four cit
iea II which the blind and manned are
permitted to solicit aims or sell trim
kets on the streets.
The following editorial from recent
issue OF the Franklin (La.) Banner
sets forth some very strong arguments
in favor of the elimination of free
range:
mo one thing has contributed so
much to the financial, economic and
social welfare of our parish as this or
dinance. Thousands OF miles of fences
and gates have disappeared, on which
there is no further expense of repair
and cleaning. Hundreds of good towns
people and farmers are relieved OF
worry. harassment and damage done
by roaming e-breaking cattle. All
the vexing unneighborly disputes aria-
ing from cattle damage are no longer
known.
"Our roads are clean, and unoo-
structed by sleeping cows or straying
stock. Travel on foot, by horse, or car
is safe by night or day. The road
bitches are no longer trampled and the
drainage clogged. Following the pas
sage of this law came other changes
just as important as the savings on
the yearly expense bills of farmers
and townspeople.
In the towns, gardens sprung up
where no gardens had been before.
Flowers bloomed where bare fences
and vacant space stood before.
fence lines gave way to cles, .
rows and neig11bors' crops were div4si-
bic only by the owners.
This ordinance affected not only
crops. but cattle as well. The scrub
cow steer or hog was soon found to be
unworthy OF its keep and it was re-
placed by good, well-bred animals. un-
til today st. Mary parish has a higher
average grade of livestock than any
other parish in the state. The stock
law has largely made this possible. The
poor family that once had three scrub
milk cows on open range to get two
gallons of poor milk now fences one
COW or ties her ON rope to produce
the same amount of good milk"
The observance Of Post Card Day on
October lst. recomme nded by the
Florida Development board. was gem
eral throughout the state, a great
many organizations being active for
their respective communities. Several
organizations took additional time to
work up campaigns, with the result
that literally millions of attractive
Florida scenes. accompanied by per-
sonal messages. have been sent to peo-
Pile in other states during the month.
Automobile tourists viii find ample
accommodations in modern camps in
Florida this season. the Florida De-
yelopment board having received re-
ports on camps in thirty-nine cities,
with several other cities making arr
rangements for camps. A report of
conditions in each camp has been sent
TO all the organizations filing out the
original QUESTIONABLE, so each organi-
cation knows just what the others are
offering, which has been helpful in
standardizing the camps The informa-
