Tuesday was show day in Prescott and as usual on such occasions, the city was crowded with people. Christy Bros show is not large, but those who witnessed the two performances here, were well satisfied. The parade in the afternoon lined both sides of the streets through which it passed, with admiring throngs, and was equal to parades of much larger shows. Every thing moved along smoothly, and every one seemed to enjoy the day.

PAID FABULOUS PRICE
FOR ONE BERRY PLANT

Fifty thousand dollars is the price
reputed to have been paid by straw
berry company of Three Rivers,
Mich, to the grower of the berry at
Conrad, Iowa, for one berry plant.
The price is believed to be the highest
ever paid for a plant of this, descrip-
ton, but it is understood that never
before has berry been evolved hav-
ing its usual quota, and in the late
summer commences again to produce
and continues till frost comes.
Strictly speaking it was not one
plant which landed the deal. Had
there been but one there would have
been a possibility that it was but a
freak and could not be bred; and ii
was not until there had been a con.
siderable number bred and the quail
ifications found to be the same that
the transfer of ownership took place
The new owner says the berry twas
not bought for the purpose of max.
ing money, but to encourage the
strawberry industry"

THE "ALL-YEAR" MAN
SHOULD GET THE JOBS

From several points in the state is
going forth the cry from the regular
residents about the practice among
merchants and many lines Of enter
prises to discharge the regular and
steady employee to make room for
visitors who come for the season and
are willing to work for any wage,
however small. The majority of
those reaching Florida cities to re-
main through the season are those
whose financial condition permits
them to do so, without let or him
drance. They are not forced to work
to maintain themselves. But the ma
jority of people prefer to be busy
about something rather than to
lounge about day after day; for
Iounsing becomes yely tiresome when
too long continued.
These men, young and old, there

HOW DID MIAMI MAN
GET IN THE SPOTLIGHT?

Through some clever scheming one
Miami man who desired publicity
managed to get the Associated Press
to take up the matter of his prospec-
tive candidacy for state office, and
exploit his contemplation over the
entire state. To make matters worse
most papers published the advertise
ment under the guise of news, and
the major portion of them took all
that the space writer put in where
he said it is decided definitely to
make the race, it will be clean one
and policies of the Everglades, the
Volstead act, the eighteenth amend
INIT, and women's rights will be
clearly set forth. All of this was SUI
perfluous, for it is a known fact that
a candidate would have to tell these
things, and would also have to prom
Use to make a clean race" 1t is
certainly surprising to note how read
lily shrewd men can work an associa-
ton for all there is in it!

fore, proceed to get busy and see the
merchants and other business men
and insidiously suggest a way of
saving considerable sum in a fl
nancial manner, at the same time
making proffer of good service for
about one-half the sum that is being
paid out, and guaranteeing the same
quality of service. The manager or
owner of the plant or business, little
needing the fact that within a few
months the "new man" would have
hiked out for his home, makes the
deal and the older man in service is
released. The new employee probably
gives perfect service, and no fault
can b found with the way in which
he carries out his agreement.
But, really, it is not square thing
for the regular resident employee,
who has figured what he is to do
with every dollar earned, with little
paid every week on each of the debts
he owed and little to go in the bank
as nest egg for the house that is
soon to be purchased. No doubt a
man has the right to conduct his
business as he deems best; but there
are many who, at this time of the
year, are not sufficiently far-sighted
to see the unjustness of the action of
discharging the tried and true and re-
liable man and securing in his stead
some individual about whom little or
nothing is known, and who admits
that as soon as the folks think they
have stayed long enough" they, and
he, will Ego back home"
There are thousands of ''extras"
engaged for the season in all sections
of the state, and to this there can be
no word of complaint made; but to
the honest-to-g goodness clerk who has
figured upon holding down his job
until he shall have been promoted
there is but little satisfaction in Civ
ing all there is in him for eight
months in the year with the dread
hanging over him that as soon as the
season opens he is liable to be shelly.

rived from establishments of that
sort have never been fully gone into
by members of the council. There
were one or two instances cited in
which no facts or figures were given
and there was the conclusion that
the people travelling by automobile to
"see Florida" were not of class
worthy of consideration.
But what of the facts? Take the
Objectionable side at first. There
have been instances where the cour-
tesies extended by city have been
abusd by these people camping wher-
ever fancy or conditions approve. Ev-
cry hotel in the state will tell the
same story regarding some of its pa
irons; how they have stolen soap and
spoons; have scratched the wall with
matches and Uttered the room with
trash and ashes; and done things
most unreasonable. Yet the hotels
continue to cater to the people-and
they make good. Therefore because
! there is to be found a certain per
cent of objectionables travelling the
roads by auto the assertion that all
are of that class would be as unjust
as it would be incorrect.
! Several cities in Florida have
found it necessary to enact rules and
see that they were enforced in these
Icamps. There were cases where
someone, more energetic than his fell
lows, would "open small general
store" to supply the entire camp; and
there have been cases where the t1&v-
elers would set up repair shops in
Opposition to the resident who was
paying a license and paying taxes
But these things have been overcome
within the last two years, and the
camps are now merely pleasure en-
sorts.
The patronage of these tourists
reaches a considerable sum during
the season. In the little town of
Kissimmee, where there was an av-
erage of twenty cars all last winter
it was estimated that the expenses OF
each car was five dollars a day, anC
!. there were many cases where the out.
lay would be much higher. The trade
in groceries and vegetables was the
largest outlay, and the store which
could by offering better terms secure
the trade felt itself fortunate. Ir
West Palm Beach, where is the mos
pretentious camp on the east coast
Iso important is deemed these visit
ors that every courtesy is extended
and the city goes to a considerable
expense each season to keep the hun
bred or so cars as long as possible
There is a small charge for Genital,
but it is so small that neither the
camper nor the city gain or lose an!
appreciable amount.
: If PaIatka should go into this prop
, osition, and provide a camp which
