Christmas is the birthday of Jesus,
who never gave the world a dollar, and
bestowed upon mankind no other ma
terial gift. He carved no statue,
painted no picture, wrote no poem,
composed no song, fashioned no piece
of jewelry, built no edifice, founded no
city, erected no triumphal arch; but
He stands in history as the Great
Giver." Such as He had He gave: the
sympathetic hand the genial mind, the
generous heart, the courageous spirit,
which all worked together to build up
out of the human the divine. The Fa-
Their gave us first His universe; then
He gave His Son; now He offers His

Facts Are Facts
Facts are facts and there is no

ter" a well known hotel man said
yesterday. Our won records show
cur guest list for the last three
weeks about Is per cent under rec
ords for the same period in 1920 and
1913. Those were the banner years
IN Florida tourist travel. This season
compares almost parallel with the
pre-hollday weeks of 1918, and I see
no cause for worry or alarm
Practically every hotel in Jackson
vile has heavy reservations for the
months of January and February
Particularly is this true with appli
cation to the second and third weeks
IN January, when heavy column OF
travel is expected into Florida. Re-
ports from down-state points indicate
that preparations are being made to
handle large crowds of visitors after
the hrst OF the year and that, while
the present tourist population is
somewhat below that of the last two
seasons, hotel proprietors and apart
ment house owners are satisfied the
season will turn out satisfactorily.
Many Motor Tourists
While Jacksonville is entertaining
large number of motor tourists NOT
referring specifically to those of the
TN can variety, it is a further fact
for the denial of which there is no
sound reason, that automobile traffic
into the city is considerably lower
than during last year.
Adverse reports, many of them
fragrant mis-statements, regarding
the condition of the Waycross road
are Believed responsible in a large
measure for this falling off. Motor
traffc to the south, on the whole
TINS season is standing about parallel
with the last winters records. The
TACT that Jacksonville is not getting

DEFINITE steps have been taken to off
set such reports it is believed there

from this highway. AS matter of
fact, there already is substantial
increase and as the real condition of
the read becomes better appreciated
IN the North and Middle West it is
thought there will be no cause for
complaint on the score of motor tour
list numbers.
Controlling Factors
Several factors are responsible for
the drop in tourist travel as evidence
cd SO far this season Principal
among these, it is believed, is the un-
seasonably warm weather which has
generally prevailed in the North, Eas;
and Middle West The early fall
proving pleasant, many tourists who
ordinarily come to Florida early in
the winter elected to remain at home
until after the holidays.
Another factor which is held re-.
Sponsible for a decrease. is the rail-
