VISIONS OF GREATER
FLORIDA


Vision is the greatest thing in the
world
If some one had not had a vision
there would be no cities. These cities
would have no electric lights. no troll
ley cars. no automobiles, no tele-
phones. No wireless would bridge the
oceans in a few seconds. No great
ships would plow the waters.
Pioneers who went into the vast
wilderness of the American West en-
cOuntered Indians, huge herds of buf-
falo, wolves and rattlesnakes. But
they had vision They saw great fields
Of waving corn and knew that a hun
CRY world would be fed from those
wild prairies They saw orchards,
roads, schools, comfortable homes and
thriving towns These things they
SOW not as of their day but for the
comfort and well being of their chill
dren and their children's children.
There are those who today see in
Florida nothing but great tracts of
land and marsh land They believe
nothing that is not actually before
their eyes. They cannot see that
what came to pass in the West of
sixty years ago is coming to pass in
Florida now
In this day there are too few willing
to be pioneers. We are all too soft.
ened by the contrast of modern con-
veniences. We do not want to separ-
ate ourselves from running water, elec-
trio lights and moving picture shows.
There are few with vision, how
ever. Go into the country, travel
miles across the prarie and nestled
away, probably by the side of a
small lake or within a clump of trees,
you will find the home of one of these.
His small territory is being made to
bloom as a rose. He has small grove
His poultry yard is well stocked and
he has everything necessary to sup
port life at his door. An infrequent
trip to town supplies the few things
he is unable to grow in the fertile
Florida soil
This man and his family are pion-
eers. Some day their dreams will
come true. Hard-surfaced roads will
load poc+ +I,o;, Soo~na ,oa 4i,o lo;I-
mail will bring them the news of the
world outside. They will also, by
the same means, be placed in easier
communication with their trading CEN
ters. Their lands will become valu-
able. And at least, perhaps not in the
day of the pioneer, but when his chill
dren have raised families of their
own, there will be no more wilderness
no more land lying idle and useless
except as feeding ground for
scrawny, wild cattle, and Florida will
be doing what the West once did
feeding the world.
1t will not be grains, but vege-
tables, plentiful when other parts of
the country need them most; fruits,
berries and other things that the pub
lie cannot get along without.
All this will come about, not mere
ly by standing by and wishing it so,
but by hard work. And the hard work
will be done by only one class the
men with vision and the women who
are willing to help them.-Arcadia

Why Suffer From Rheur,atis,,

Do you know that nine out of every
ten cases of rheumatism are simply
rheumatism of the muscles or chronic
rheumatism, neither of which require
any internal treatment? The pain NAV
be relieved by applying Chamberlain's
Liniment, which makes sleep and rest
possible, and that certainly means a
great deal to any one afflicted with
rheumatism

superior told how Wolfe strutted up
and down, waving his sword and brag-
ging about what he would do. Il was
tempted to dismiss him." says the
narrator. But Wolfe went to Canada
and a little later the braggart of Lon
don was climbing the Heights of
Abraham, took Quebec and died The
immodest Dragging was transformed
into action and Wolfe's victory trans
ferred the ownership of Canada from
France to England.

Milton, before he had done any

unladylike trip.
A Queen of Spain, inspecting the
silk industry in France, was waited
upon by humble merchants. On their
knees they offered her magnificent
silk stockings, embroidered with the
arms of Spain, as sample of their
workmanship. They were told hauglt-

themselves could possibly know, THE
QUEEN OF SPAIN HAD NO LEGS.

Since the days of Wolfe, English
men have changed and have special
lied in modesty. Dragging simply
isn't done" An English hunter of big
game will tell you how he killed a
lion as though he were telling you
that he had cuffed puppy. That
is pleasing, for Dragging is a bore.
But it is bad thing for the English
race. If you keep telling people that
you don't amount to much you gradu-
ally and actually DON'T amount to
much.

MOdesty---The False
And the Genuine

Arthur Brisbane. the highest paid
newspaper writer in the United States
writes the following article on Mod
esty", and as il is not copywrited we
transfer IL to our columns.
A young woman asks:
AS everybody has discussed the
question. What is courage?" with so
much talk about high skirts and low
necks. why not discuss this question
what is modesty?"
Interesting. delicate question. What
rs modesty?
Circumstances alter cases with
modesty. as with other things.

rance OF love and alteration.
Il dream of a world in which the
spirits OF women are flames stronger
than fire, a world in which modesty
has become courage and yet remains
modesty"
That is very pretty, enthusiastic,
but many will ask, WAS the young
lady modest? Would it not have been
more ladylike TO have permitted a
thousand sailors to drown rather than
set an immodest example? The Per-
sian lady who writes from the seraglio
90 Montesquieu's famous Usbek, lord
Of the seraglio. tells how the harem
ladies went out to get the air, accom-
panied by black eunuchs. Each lady,

Was that modesty or plain foolish

AS the Christian rode by, with his
two servants riding behind him, each
lady working in the rose field raised
her solitary garment and did her face.
You wouldn't call that modesty in
America. But it was modesty there.

BY EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELock.
Copyright. 1921. American Press League. }
A bank president in a small city
in one of the middle western states
became dissatisfied with the condition
of the savings department Of his bank.
In a town of about 1900 inhabitants
there were savings deposits of only
about $4,000.
He Knew Child Nature.
In his younger days this gentleman
had been a schoolteaeher and he be-
lieved the public schools would be a
fertile field for the cultivation of a
spirit of thrift
Having selected forty schools In
what he believed TO he his legitimate
territory he visited each one, after
having made arrangements with the
teachers. and addressed the pupils.
He explained what a savings account
was. how money deposited In such an
account Increased constantly by the
accumulation of interest and demon
strations of interest growth were
made on the blackboard.
All Had Saved Something.
After covering the subject as fully
as he considered necessary, the bank
er asked how many children present
had savings a. pennLes. nickels.
