OPPORTUNITY is KNOCKING

In the two addresses delivered by Governor
Cary A. Hardee in Wauchula last Thursday on
the occasion of the celebration of the organizing
of Hardee county and the annual meeting of the
Florida Swine Growers Association, the point
was driven home most forcibly that Floridas fu-
ture depends agriculture and stoc raising. AS
the governor pointed out, there can be no sub
stantial prosperity without these assets and he
put it straight up to the farmer and the stockman
to produce the very best in his line.
1t was only natural to expect that at meeting
of swine growers and those interested directly or
indirectly in the industry, thought should be d.
rected toward the Introduction Of better grades
of stock ], But Governor Hardee drove home the
point that the day of the razor-back and the scrub
COW is at an end. Partly through the process Of
education but largely through the activities of the
federal government in instituting quarantine
against infected stock, the Florida stockman has
been brought to a realization that it is up to him
to get in line with the other sections Of the country
If he wants to make living With the markets
closed to Florida cattle because of tick infection,
supply offered, hence a surplus that is denied a
market In order to again have access to these
outside markets, the cattle tick must go. The gov
ernor pointed out the success attending the exter-
mination Of the dreaded hog cholera through the
use of serum so that today the hog industry in
:; Florida is on sure and certain basis. But with
the cattle industry ii has been different Prejudice
and long-estabshed custom have yet to be over
come before Florida cattle can be freed from the
curse CT the tick But as was pointed out no
great forward movement such as this can be per-
manenty checked. There may be temporary de-
lays and setbacks but in the end constructive meas
ures and principles are certain TO prevail. When
that does come 10 pass the cattle raiser will be iii
the same class as the hog raiser, both engaged in
the business of producing material wealth for
Florida while assisting in supplying the necessities
of human life, Untold resources are at our very
doors awaiting only such wise human direction as
is necessary to translate theories and practices
into definite action.

The Hotel Imperial in the buffet lunch gives

MERIDIAN STONE

CONTROLS SURVEYS

Tallahassee, July 22.AFew persons
in Florida other than surveyors know
that the meridian stone upon which
all land surveys in the state are based
10 in Tallahassee and within few
feet of the southeast corner of the
Leon county jail yard. The stone was
placed in this location in 1924 by
Colonel Robert Butler, who was sur
veyor general OF Florida under ap-
pointment by the federal government
When the stone was set it was at
the southeast corner OF the town Of
Tallahassee but extension of the city
limits during the years since that time
have overlapped the site.
The stone marks the southeast cor
ner of Section 36, Township 1, North,

surveyed and re-established in 1892
by the late Colonel Chesley, the Of.
fee of the state commissioner Of As

AN OLD SCHOOL BOOK

When you glance through the school books CT
your children or grandchildren, does your mind
ever run back through the ages and linger fondy
on one of the old school readers of your own
childhood
We refer to the Holmes series, particularly the
Fifth Reader, and the edition which came out
shortly after the Civil War, before we had learned
to dename our school books Memory is not
quite distinct as to its contents, but it was
grand old book, and full of inspiration You
recall, of course, of its treasures, now appar-
emily out OF print, beginning like this:
1t was amidst magnolias
With their blossoms broad and white
An aged Indian warrior
Encamped his troops at night.
They were weary with their journey,
And with travel sore oppressed.
And they smiled to hear their leader say,
Alabama. here we rest
Good poetry or bad, we do not know nor par
ticuarly care; but its lines stick to the memory
like sandspurs to cotton suit
hen there was another, written, we believe,
by southern congressman, whose fame, like that
of the author of Ben Bolt rests solely upon his
one contribution to poesy beginning,
MY life is like the summer rose,
hat opens to the morning sky.
One stanza, Of special interest to Flordans
like this
My life ishke the prints which feet
Have left on I ampa's desert strand,
Soon the rising tide shall beat,
All trace will vanish from the sand;
Yet if grieving to eface
All vestige of the human race
On that lone shore loud means the sea
But nonc alas shall mourn for me-
Pcnsive, Respondent and sadly awry in its
geographical data, it is nevertheless the sort of
thing that the child carries on to old age and
recalls with unfailing pleasure

and equally so in fascinating prose. 1t had scec-

Peace Is Restored
When Women Sit
On SPEC. Board
Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt I'd
and Mrs. Schiff Return
to Work When Granted
Power They Demanded

The break in the ranks of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children was partly closed yesterday
when two women sat amicably on the
board of d rectors at the monthly
meeting, held in the New York Law In
stitute, 1920 Broadway. They were Mrs.
William X. Vanderbilt Cd and Mrs.
Mortimer Schiff.
This is the first time in the history
of the society that women have been
elected to the board or taken an active
hand in the executive adm nistration.
It IS distinct triumph, in view of the
rumpus that preceded their election.
IL was on the score that they were
without authority OF any kind that
eight women resigned from the auxil-
larry board last November, immediately
after August Heckscher gave his
$3,000.0 900 to the society
At meeting in February the direc-
-ors held out the olive branch to the
women who resigned. Offering as a
further inducement three seats on the
beard of directors-a privilege they
never had before. Mrs. Vanderbilt I'd.
Hrs. Schiff and Mrs. Robert Gerry &C
cepted the compromise and are now
vested with full author ty as directors.
Mrs Gerry was absent yesterday. The
wone0 who still hold out are Mrs. J
Ne Borland, Mrs. II. Gloucester
2 rm ng, Mrs. George c. Nichols,
Miss Ellen S. Parks and Mrs Morgan
J. O'Brien. Mrs S. j. Borg is on the
welfare committee, but is not a d.
rector.
The contention of the women who
resigned was that their authority was
20 limited. Their duties were con-
fined CHI ELY to overseeing the food
I'D clothing supplies of the children.
Now three as least have what they
wanted-voting power and a strong ex-
-cutive position.

Vanderbilt and Mrs Schiff to the meet
