FLORIDA WILL
OBSERVE own
HOLIDAY TODAY
Bankers At Least Will Observe
Day 1t Fitting Manner
By Taking Whole
Day Off

Florida VIII today celebrate its own
holiday in which few of any other states
share. It il farmers day, a legal holi-
day in this state. BY that it is meant
that the bankers. at least, will observe
the day in the fitting manner Of not
working. In the bankers realm, SO far
as this holiday is concerned, come the
Janitor office boy, teller, cashier and up
TO the president.
The day was declared a legal holiday
by an act of the legislature Of 1915. There
ara other holidays in honor Of, to the
memory Of and in the interest Of framegs
OF the act declared. and 1t was decided
that the tillers Of the soil should too be
recognized in a lofty fashion.
IT'S all very Well to tell how the holi-
day came into being after looking II up
in the encyclopedia. Much easier, in fact
than learning OF its origin and nature
by inquiry. The farmer himself, it seems,
dosnt cease work and there appears to
he few knowing Just what is done on the
Celebrated day.
