applied to the thousands of motorists

The majority of cities in Florida

the number of "tin-can tourists" in
Florida this winter reach 10000.
Want to See Warrington.
These motorists are now beginning
to make plans to return to their
homes. Many of them wish to visit
the National Capital. On account of
the lack of suitable camping space
Washington is generally avoided on
the trip north.
A. letter addressed to Maj. Cess
ford, superintendent OF police. from
board, and was taken up yesterday
afternoon at a meeting of the execu-
tive committee of that organization.
The letter follows:
\ Gentlemen: We wish to return
north via Washington and want to
see the city. We want to find some
place to camp there where our things
would be safe while out in the day
time. There are hundreds of tourists
who want to do the same. Many are
on the road home. There are many
more going via Washington than ever
camping ground not too far from the
center of the city it would help us
and also the city. Will you see what
can be done? If you can find place
and put up some signs on this side of
the river we would know where to
what can be done and 1 will let all
know. but sign will help those who
are already on their way home. The
city here has furnished US a free
ca mp ground all winter; water, lights
and other facilities. Most of the
cities in the state have done the
same. We are in one of the city
parks here. 1t would be a paying
proposition for Washington"
Plan Given Approval.
The general proposition was heart
lily fndorsed and steps will be taken
to provide camping sites, particularly
on the outskirts of the city. Many
ideal camping sites may be found and
it is thought that arrangements can
be made for their use.
At the present time tourists who
desire to visit Washington are COM
PEELED to place their automobiles in
garages and arrange hotel accommo-
dations. By providing these camp
sites. it will afford opportunity for
hundreds Of people to visit the Ma
tional Capital who have never been
here before. It will also give them
an opportunity to know "voteless
Washington"
The board, however. is not in favor
of allowing the tourists to camp in
the parks Of the city. believing that
some suitable sites may be found on
the outskirts.
The proposition was referred to the

The thirteenth annual rally of Cen

held Saturday, August at Center

appeared to be slightly smaller than
last year the day was particularly
pleasant for those who were present
Ideal weather conditions prevailed,

Addresses were delivered by T.

George *. Laney, state senator from
Chesterfield, Hon. J. Clifton Rivers,
state warehouse commissioner, and
Hon. B. Harris, commissioner of ag-
riculture. The dedation policy of the
federal reserve board came in for q
good deal of criticism from the
speakers. The speeches were well
received and were listened to with a
splendid attention. Senator Laney
was particularly happy in his talk
and made quite a hit with his hear
ers. .t'
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. w. A. Leaphart, who in opening
the meeting voiced some beautiful
sentiments which struck a responsive
chord in the breasts Of his hearers.
The dinner was as good If not the
best this scribe has ever seen spread
upon a table. Certainly there will
never be any pellagra in Center as
long as the good farmers of that COM
munity grow such fine food and the
good housewives retain the talent
which they displayed for cooking.
Adjectives are not adequate to accu-
rately describe the bounteous dinner,
consisting OF all the good things of
field and garden, made at home and
cooked by experts. '..
After dinner the speeches were re-
Sumed and late in the afternoon the
crowd dispersed for home, feeling
we'll repaid for the time spent.
