O Is NOT AGAINST
"FARNER''

The following from the Liberal,
News, voices our sentiment
exactly concerning the town and
farmer proposition and is the gos-
pel we have ever preached. Our in
terests are mutual and II behooves
us to cooperate to the fullest ex-
tent. We cannot imagine a town
existing without the farms, neither
can we imagine prosperous farms
without the towns to afford a mar
ket for the products produced. We
are co-dependent, the one on the
other, and the sooner all wake up
to a realization of this fact and be-
come boosters together for the big
interest of all, the quicker will
we all reap the reward. "A house
divided against itself cannot stand"
cludes both town and country
News has to say:
There was one point that should
have been brought out at the Cham
Der of Commerce banquet last night
that was not reached, and that
was the appreciation of our BUSH
ness men of the dependence of ~
city and our people on the prosper
ity of our farmers. That was
expressed by a merchant of Liberal
to a farmer not long ago in this
way: The farmer was a bit discour-
aged. as many of them are now,
and said to the merchant: The
town people don't care whether we
make any money or not. and some
of them don't want us to-" Now
you are mistaken" said the mer-
chant. "The people in town want
you to make money IL from none
but selfish motives. If you don't
make any money how can you buy
anything from us how can we
make any money off your trade?
On the other hand IL you are pros
porous, If you make money, you
will certainly spend some of il with
us. You will build better homes
and barns, you will buy an auto or
a washing machine, you will buy
more and better clothes. you will
| discard the old machinery and buy
newer and better"
The town people take Just as
much pride in well improved farms,
in fine stock, in good country
schools and churches as the farm
ers do themselves, and one of the
means taken by the townspeople
of showing off" to visitors is to
drive to the country into a neigh
borhood that has good houses and
barns and a general show of pros
perity.
The News would impress upon its
farmer friends the fact that If any
n tries to make them believe
the town" is against them, that
person is either a mischief-maker
or has some motive that he con-
ceals."

Palm Beach, Florida

This famous resor. has achieved
the greatest distinction of any place
in the country as being the home
of society and the abode of luxury
during the winter months. For nat
ural beauty IL is unsurpassed by
any resort on this continent and
rivals many of the celebrated resorts
of the Old World for beauty, charm
and winter climate. Palm Beach is
situated on the Atlantic Ocean, on
a narrow strip of high land. and
its beautiful homes, its picture rue

shore. The normal winter tempera-

In all respects Palm Beach con-
forms to the highest standard of
a sumptuous and fashionable resort.
Nature and man have elaborated
with remarkable success in produc-
ing one of the finest resorts imagin-
able. The Hotel Royal Poinciana,
with It's magnificent appointments.
is the largest resort hotel in the
world. 1t is six stories high and
fronts n thousand feet along the
shore of Lake Worth. The hotel
derives its name from the tree
| which grows all about II 49, the
matchless Poinciana Regia - and
which blossoms in the spring with
a deep red flower. The superb
floral gardens of the hotel are OBJ
jects of rare beauty and receive
much praise from visitors. They
present a particularly lively ahL fas-
cinating picture when society, in its
most becoming attire. appears for a
promenade or a ride in the bicycle
chairs-called Automobiles which
are a unique and popular feature
in this tropical paradise. These We
hicles carry two passengers and are
propelled nv a negro guide, who

Extending along the water front
for a considerable distance are
many palatial villas. The climate
here in winter is ideal for outdoor
life and recreation. Sea bathing is
especially enjoyable. and the ample
facilities supplied afford every op-
portunity for indulgence in this in
MIGRATING pastime. An avenue of
palms extends across the island
from the Royal Poinciana to its
companion hotel. The Breakers.

Fish fry. but, in addition to the
fish, which was provided in great

there was also everything else good

New Smyrna offers a greater
variety of attractions than most
points on the east Coast, being an
important railroad junction point, a
place OF great historic interest. a
center for Il numDer OF the best
fishing localities and surrounded
by the famous groves OF the Indian
River orange belt. Any one OF
these features make it well known;
all make 1t unexcelled. New Smyrna
was settled at a Greek colony in
1865, and ruins of many of the old
structures still stand. Ii is on the
Hillsboro River. which is bridged at
this point, a fine road leading to
Coronado Beach, a splendid resort
at the southern END of Mosquito
Inlet. Oysters and shell fish abound
in the Hillsboro River. Game fish
OF all varieties are taken in the

ocean outside the peninsula. The
interior country. just back Of the
town, is the home of the Indian
River range and the finest var
