the sight Of a big trout which leaped
out of the water a few yards away put
everything out of his mind except his
passion for fishing.
You never have cast for trout be-
fore, have you, Madge?" he asked, and
there was an uneasiness in his manner
which understood a moment later.

Then, his deliberately nonchalant
air made me smile to myself think

you try it. Just sit on this rock here

From that moment Dlcky promptly
forgot all about the necessity of any

Left alone I smiled grimly to myself
at this new exm,3ition Of Dicky's sell

he had left me sitting on a log while
he wandered up the stream.

"He read the books which all the

He searched the world for

He thought no man unknown, so

Hhe started to be angry, then stop

it unkindly. I went on:
You have bluffed your way through

sometimes for him to see the bottoms
of them (where he kept his reminders

Suddenly his smile faded, and he

he. IF it isn't Chinese! Did I write
my addresses in Chinese, my dears?
No, I'm sure that 1 did not. Some

I that should attract closest scrutiny in
congress is it's rather involved method
by which the roads, would in effect be
consolidated into. a. few systems, with
four boards and 10 committees rum
ming the whole show
These boards and committees would
represent shippers, railroad executives
and the people through the Interstate
commerce commission.
This" says the Wall Street Jour-
nal, "if ii resulted in anything more
than group Of ingentously articulated
debating societies. would mean a peril
Gus degree of railroad CONTEMPLATION
and bureaucratic management
Some authorities take the opposite
view. Warfield himself says his plan
would provide. by congressional legis-
lation, q national railway service to
purchase cars andt other equipment to
be furnished to the railroads on an
economical basis without profit. and
as a means for co-ordinating facilities
and service.
This national railway service, says
Warficld. would have %extended pow
ers for financing and Asasing equip
ment under plans it is satin will save
many million fod!ars in preventing du-
plication of equipment by the carrteJs
now necessary when each carrier is re =
CURED to buy maximum equipment
requirements"
Would such a service stop the milk
ing Of the railroad COW by supply coma
panies or would it aggravate this evsl,
now said to exist on some roads?

PRESS COMMENT
Florida, Land of Gardens

Florida, Land of Gardens
It is always pleasing to think OF
Florida as THE Land of Flowers
In spite of the fact that flower plant-
ing and flower growing in Florida has
been pitifully neglected, Nature has
been lavish. with Towering plants
and trees, and to people who have not
become careless of these natural beau-
ties. there is every evidence that Fgoy-
ida is in truth a Flower Land.
But Florida is getting another riaule
that is even better than that Land, of
Flowers" They are beginning to- call
this state, 1.-The Land of Gardens land
when you come to thing about it! that
is what would be more desirable. than
anything else, Florida, the Lend of
Gardens"
According to w. A. McRae, so@great
are the possibilities of this STATE as a
garden, a crop could be marketed
every hour in the year. In a statement
made for the biennial report of the
Florida state marketing bureau, Com
missioner NcRae points out that while
most states produce nine tenths tof the
time and market one-tenth, Florida
has something to market eVerythour in
the year.
He says: I'VE average selling "a car
load of perishables every eight min
utes, and that when we add the, staples
and live stock to our sales, we must
get rid of ten carloads every hoFlr, or
eight trainIoads daily. The vegy ma
ture of our highly perishable prod
ucts," he declares, requires rapid
transit, quick sales and speedy serv-
ice."
Continuing, the commissioner tpoints
out that Florida grows all of the sta
pies grown in the United States and
many products that do not grow in the
colder states. And going back into
comparisons, he states that there are
enough farm, garden, grove, livestock,
poultry and dairy products grown in
Florida annually to load a solid freight
train stretching from Key Wleststo Sa-
vannah. This would reach in, value
eighty odd million dollars. and to this
must be added the millions of dollars
spent in farm supplies.
When you really get down to think
ing of Florida with the facts and fig
ures before you, you can acquire an
idea of what it means to say, Flor
ida, The Land of Gardens.

Work and Play For Children

Those who are truly concerned with
the welfare of children, those who
have studied and understood the prob
lem of child labor, are unanimous in
the opinion that certain amount OF
work is beneficial to a child. They are
convinced that three things ara essen
tial to the development and WE'LL being
of children; these are: Play. work and
schooling.
While it is nothing short OF a crime
to place child in a position of labor
where it is denied both play and
schooling.
While it is nothing short Of a crime
to place a child in a position of labor
where it is denied both play and

at the same time, provide hours for
play and opportunities for obtaining
knowledge. is distinct benefit to both
boys and girls.
Idleness is responsible for much Of
the delinquency among children, even
those of tender age being injuriously
affected by not having Z eful employ
ment for their spare hours, for as chill

urgent a necessity for them to have
child labor is bad-about as bad as
anything could possibly be for the
child-as it dwarfs his body weakens
his intellect and destroys his future
influence as a man. Child labor in
flicts even a worse hardship upon the
young girl as 1t makes it practically
impossible for her to function proper
" on reaching womanhood. This is
a matter-the employment of girls in
continuous. daily labor-which con-
Germs the interest of the state and the
welfare of the human race.
It goes almost without saying that
the boy who helps on the farm and the
girl who assists in the work of the
household are both benefited by their

boy and girl who are afforded oppor7i

SOUTH FLORIDIAN THINKS
ANNEXATION PROBABL

The question of whether or not the
nine counties of westernmost Florida
should or could be annexed to Ala
bama has aroused no small amount Of
comment throughout the state. On the
whole it appears that the majority Of
the state papers believe any attempt
to divorce this section of Florida from
the remainder of the state would fail
In west Florida itself only one pa
per, w. II. Mapoles' Okaloosa News
Journal. has taken a stand for annex
alton. All of the other papers, so fan
as we have been able to learn. have
taken decided stands against the pro-
posal.
In the east the Times Union was
lead to believe that this section of the
state wanted to be annexed but has
since changed it's mind. Other papers
have said that the question was en-
trely one for west Florida to decide
That is the attitude The Journal takes
aAd 1t has offered its readers the use
ofs it's columns to discuss the matter.
Down in southern Florida a promi-
nent landowner and development pio-
neer who has asked that his name
and residence be held in confidence by
the editor, writes that he believes
south Florida would vote to sell west
Florida. His letter needs and deserves
no comment. 1t follows:
The Times-Union quotes from
your paper regarding the west
Florida Alabama agitation in
which you say that it would be
interesting to know what the opin-
ion of the majority is. That is the
most sensible suggestion we have
seen.
Alabama has authorized their
governor to appoint state bound
airy commission and they suggest
that Florida does the same and let
the two commissions make a re-
port We do not see why the pa
pers object to that procedure and
why some politicians are so anX-
ious to decide 1t for the people. The
question should be submitted TO
the people in some form.
1t is welf-llnown that west Flor
ida objects to reapportionment be-
cause hey will lose representation.
Perhaps Alabama will let them re-
tam AhNAA pi0SCANb ASPASSOl4beiNAyA4
and then let tho rest of Florida
make their own apportionment. I
believe that the majority in central
Florida will vote to let them join
Alabama because state boundaries
are for tho convenience of the peo-
pie and Montgomery is even more
convenient than Tallahassee, ard
will be even more so If the capitol
should be removed which is more
than likely within few years.

WARFIELD'S. PLAN FOR RAIL
RnAn

AS congress tries to untangle the
railroad mess, you'll read lot about
the Warfield plan. This plan is back
ed by the National Association of
Owners of Railroad Securities. The
head man is S. Davies Warfield.
The Warfield plan is said to present
the side of organizations and people
that own $1,000 100000 of railroad Sc
curities, mostly bonds.
These owners include insurance
companies, colleges, trust funds, hun
dreds OF thousands of private individ-
uals, and the $3.50. 600, 900 which Amer
lean mutual savings banks have in
vested in railroad securities out Of S5,-
O0O, 00O, 900 deposited in these banks by
10, 900, 900 depositors.
The Warfield plan Is a middle-of-
the road proposition between govern
ment ownership. 1t would not, accord
ing TO Warfield, repeal or replace any
part of tho Esch -Cummins act. the
continued operation of which is essen
tial."
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1921-04-05

Tho basic warfield idea Is that the
railroads cannot function on a profit
of less than six per cent on their in
vestment. Any profits in excess Of six
per cent would be divided in three
equal parts among railroad labor, the
government and fund for improving
railroad property. That was the orig
inal Warfle!d plan, advanced when the
Ssch- Cummins act was being framed.
Now 1t marches out on the stage again,
essentially unchanged.
