the growing process, and where winter does not
slow down work, parks are very much more
quickly made than in the north, where growth is
retarded one-half the year. Hollywood will look
like city of a dozen years growth by the time
the railroad brotherhood meets there This rapid
and substantial rise of cities is characteristic of
Florida and represents the brains, the ingenuity,
the energy and the dollars of the progressive
element OF society that come into the state an
nually from every nook and corner of the Ameri-
can continent. Hollywood itself is being made by
the Californian who made fortune in building
the city by that name just outside of Los An
geles.
Besides this international meeting of the rail
way brotherhoods, a movement is on foot to bring
the next international meeting of the Kiwanians
to Florida. Strangely enough too, that meeting
is held this year in Toronto, Canada This great
fraternity which exemplities the beautiful lessons
of friendship in the daily intercourse between
businessmen has its face turned toward Florida.
They will enjoy an excursion from the great
northland to the land where the soft winds blow.
Thousands of men belonging to these great
brotherhoods have been thinking of Florida
Many OF them viii avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity to see the state, and having seen, many of
them will decide to cast their lot with the people
of the land of sunshine and flowers

THE SCIENCE OF PUBLICITY

Wide comment is being given the action of the
Miami Chamber of Commerce in setting aside,
through its publicity committee, budget of SOL
900 for the coming season. 1t is doubtful if any
city in the South even dreams of using that much
money 10 tell the outside world why all the rest
of the people outside of Miami ought to visit the
Magic City. Certainly no Florida town or city
has publicity budget anywhere near that contem-
plated by Miami. Consequently no other town or
city in Florida can expect to reap anywhere near
the benefit Miami expects to reap from the bring
ing in Of new residents, some for The winter only,
others to be permanent. Miami is strong fer good
band music, knowing that to keep people pleased
and amused is to make them contented. Thousands
of peopl who frequent Miami and other Florida
cities every winter, are attracted there by the
love Of the very best band music. Miami is hgur-
ing on spending not less than $35 900 for a band.
The next item is that of booklets. To meet this
need $4,000 is to be set aside and like amount
is to be spent in newspapers throughout Tie North
and West Another means of getting the Miami
message to the travelling public IS through the
agency Of the bill boards. About $4,000 will be
spent for this purpose in the North and about
$1,000 in the territory surrounding Jacksonville,
Waycrcss and Savannah. 1t is also proposed to
put up direction signs over wide territory cas-,
of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio anc
more than $1,000 will be spent in this way |;
will take another 5000 to carry on the publicity
work in the Miami headquarters so here we have
an ambitious and extensive program that would
make most communities gasp for breath 70 those
who have never visited the Magic City and are
wondering just what sort Of place it is do ret have
to bother to make the trip of inspection. All that
is necessary is to realize that Miami is about to
spend 50 900 for publicity. That tells the story
of progressive people who know full well the
value of telling the ether fellow 1t is this same
spirit of determination TO excel, that will give
Miami a population of NOR, than one hundred
thousand people within the next half dozen years.
While it may not be possible for any other city
to follw Miami's example as regards amount, the
lessen is there just the same for all who care to
read Without publicity, without determined cf--
fort to tell the outside wc-ld what city has in
the way of assets and fractions, there can be no
advance, nc gain in por. no great forward
step.

WILLIE GOES COURTING

No little amusement has been caused throughout
the United States at the published announcement
that William Randolph Hearst wants an cppor-
tunity to meet King George CT Great Britain and
with Mrs. Hearst to be presented at court at Buck
ingham place. The Hearsts are en- a tour of Eu-
rope and are spending some time in England The
amusing feature of the incident is that before and
during the war Hearst was anti-Aes and par
ticularly anti-Erglsh his newspapers in New
York, Chicago, San Francisco, Detroit, Atlanta
and Washington never firing Of singing mud at
the British. at Premier Lloyd George and, in fact,
at everything going on across the sea. He became
so rank that the Canadians barred the Hearst pub
locations from the country because of their pro-
German tendencies. But it is the old story Of po-
ltical ambitions. This particular ambition right
now is to fill the presidential chair and it is taken
for granted that Hearst wants to get right with
the Anglo-Saxcn element in the United States be-
fore any formal announcement of his candidacy is

IS significant that so many international gather
ings holding sessions in the dominion country
this year, turning their faces to Florida for
the next meeting.
The Brotherhood of Trainmen, which held
foW-weekj session in Toronto, closing the first
week in June, voted to hold its next convention
at Hollywood, Florida. This great convention of
nearly thousand delegates from all parts of the
United States and Canada voted enthusiastically
for the Florida city just rising from the sand
banks and the brush Of the east coast. These

urged the acceptance of the invitation. Many Of
the leaders of that convention had toured Florida
They knew Floridas big way of doing things and
were familiar with Floridas reputation as a host
These men were anxious that their brotherhood
be permitted to this great land and get first
hand information regarding its climate and the
development of the state, for it is realized that
Florida is, each year, becoming a large and i'm
portant factor in transportation questions, and
that the development of the state will mean more
miles of railroad and more demand for railroad
operators. The proposal is to take their men to
the scene of greatest activities.
This convention does not meet again until 1926
BY that time Hollywood will be a real city with
beautiful parks, drives and great hotels In Flor

moment was the short one. Those in

information, lost heavily in yesterdays

put out s3.o00.000, causing others to

experts expected the rate to advance to
6 per cent, and they were surprised
when the rate failed to advance, mas
much as $7,000,000 was wanted at one

scarcity of call funds is explained. per-
