New Senior Hinh School


The new building is now finished
and occupied Pupils are attending
it from as far away as the northern
county limit.
Two stories, of red Georgia brick,
at cost of $4,000. There are eight
class-rooms, an auditorium covering
half of the second story, a superin-
tendents office. a first aid room for
students suddenly taken ill or injured.
A first class feature of the building is
that the Mushroom and lavatories are
in the basement.
The location is most fortunate: it is
central and on some of the highest
ground in the city. The land was a
gift drom the people of the town.

HAINES CITY DOINGS
(By D. Orrine Magoune.D

Haines City has one OF the most de-
lightful and healthful locations of any
town or city in Florida. Rome, that
sits on its seven hills of glory" and
which it is claimed once from is
crown of beauty ruled the world; ~
Haines City, that rests on its inspiring
hills, gentle, pleasing slopes, sur
rounded by beautiful lakes, golden
fruits and green woodlands, rules the
trade of this region as the Gateway to
the Scenic Highlands. Its commercial
prospects, the industrial outlook of
the country around it and the likeli-
hood of increasing population for town
and country are very bright.
When the traveller and stranger
reach this high ground, see the en-
chanting views of pretty town, al
Turing lakes, with the surrounding
fringes of fruit groves, green woods
and blue sky, while they breathe the
glorious pure, health-giving. balmy
air, their spirits rise till they are
happy.
One thing here that impresses and
pleases all, is the cleanliness and the
cheerful appearance of the streets,
buildings and every objection in sight
Haines City, with its 900 people, is
continually growing and improving.
The signs are that it will become
city in fact, as it is now in name.

PrIces-aiaht and Wronn.

From the Haines City Eferald)
The local paper here. which is not
afraid to speak out strong and clear
on any subject OF Importance to
Halnes City, Polk county and Florida,
had the following timely and needed
editorial in its last Fridays issue:
A property owner in Haines City.
man who spends his winters here and
who lives in the north, makes the
statement that there is a general feel
ing among people who come to Flor.
ida for the winter that they are
charged exhorbitant prices for every
thing they have to buy; that the tour.
lists are saying that they will come to
Florida no more until expenses are
cut to a normal and proper proper.
ton.
Without doubt there are some
prices too high in Florida and every
effort should be made to get them
down. There are great many small,
cheaply built no els that charge twice
as much for meals and twice as much
for rooms as they should They do
not seem to grasp the fact that when
everyone else is taking less for what
they have to sell that they should fall
in line. And there is too much of a
disposition among some people to get
all of the Northerners money posi-.
BILE, whether it is in the sale of a
meal, a fishing line or an orange
grove.
Yet there is another side to the
story. In the first place here is no
separation between the Northerner
and the Southerner. The people who
own the hotels and the eating Joints
are from the North. Most of them do
no. care enough for the real interests
OF Florida to stay all summer. They
fleece the Northerner in the summer
in the joint on the lake away I'D on
the mountain side. they catch him in
Baltimore and New York in the fall
and take his money in the winter.
There are too many would.be arts o.
Gratis who think they have proven
their own superiority over the com.
mon people when they pay ten dol
lars a night for room that they
could get for one-third that amount,
II they only made the demand. The
people who pay the big prices for
orange groves are the ones who bring
their own agents with them from the
North-who imagine that the North.
ern agent will keep them from being
swindled by the sharks (?) OF Florida.
These said agents do not know the
difference be .ween an orange tree and
rubber tree. They know nothing of
comparative values and are careful TO
herd their customers and keep them
from finding out what property Is
really worth. The only subject upon
which they are really posted is the
amount Of money the Gus .omer has on
deposit at home. The only real wor-
~ that he has is to solve the problem
how to keep the buyer from knowing
what the seller really got for the prop.
erty and how to prevent the seller
from finding out what the purchaser
really paid.

The road will run from here to the

miles north of Auburndale, north
west to Dade City. The line will be
built to accommodate the northwest
ern part of Polk county, which has no
railroad conveniences. 1t will, of
course, give new life and increased
business to Haines City and Dade
City. The projectors of the line are
not ready now TO give the public more
