STRIKE WILL SOON BE OVER
[ Sanford Herald.l

1t looks today though the railroad strike would
be settled. 1t only for the railroads to
accede to the request of the president that they grant
the seniority rights to the and let them go back
to their old jobs. The strike today hinges this Ques
ton The and the railroads should get together in
few days and settle the strike that ties up everything
just at the time when Sanford is itching to go ahead
and build city of ten thousand this winter.
There is no doubt about the getting their senior
ity rights. Without this there would be nothing for
them in the future and nothing for the who would
take their places even the obtain work after
the strike is over Unless there is something for
working to look forward to in his old age there
but little of laboring. He might just well start
But still have faith in the at the head of our
government the men at the head of the railroads and
the at the head of the Unions They all trying
to get the whole loaf but when they find out they can:
not get whole loaf they will take half loaf and
there will be compromises such the Herald predicted
many weeks ago. There must be something done
both sides and unless there is something done the
eminent will step into the breach and take the
coal mines and railroads and then there will be diff
feren tale to tell by both sides the controversy and
it will net be the easy picking of times SO let
everyone pray tomorrow for cessation OF the strike,
for cessation of strife everywhere, for peaceful and
prosperous season and we then turn attention
TO making this the greatest country on the globe.

CROPS OF FLORIDA
miami Herald.)

There general idea that the chief products
of Florida climate and citrus fruits. There is
question that in these of natures most desirable
bounties Florida stands supreme, but the productivity
of the state is not by any confined to these two
lines.
Many farmers coming to Florida from the north and
west complain that they engage in the particular
form of work with which they have familiar.
They find themselves face to face with situation
that battles them, and often discourages them COM
petey 1t is that there in Florida at least in
south Florida, wide spreading of fields. There
are waving quarter sections of ripened wheat and
oats.
In almost every other product of the north and west,
however the offers opportunity the enterpris
ing farmer For instance this shipped this year
1886 caroads of tomatoes SIG carloads OF waerme
447 carloads of potatoes 1928 carloads of celery
and through a list including cabbage, strawber-
ries BEANS peas canaloupes lettuce and about every
thing else that anybody thought of raising We
raise And cane promises to offer the new
conner crop which is somewhat like that to which he
has been accustomed
Certain methods of farming that effective in the
north will be doomed inevitable failure here, but the
methods which effective here well known and
may be learned easily by anyone who is trained in
binary farm methods. The bane CT parts of the south
has been the onecrop system The incoming new peo-
pie who are willing to experiment diversity crops is
giving the Florida farmer wide range of possible
activities as any farmer anywhere has
In addition the grains and vegetables there is
splendid field for the raising of cattle and hogs and
poultry The climate not only encourages this, but
there is market right at hand for everything that is
likely be raised. The time is probably not far dis
tant when millions Of of Everglades land will be
occupied by fine, prosperous FARMS devoted to some
staple crop but producing truck and poultry and
meat There is no reason why this country should not
have as many big bullying barns as have Minnesota
Iowa.

REQUESTED
TO USE LEFT-HANB SIDE
or ROAD At NIGHT

A publicity bulletin released by the
American Automobile Association
through their branch, the Polk Coun-
ty Motor Club, asks for the co-opera-
ton of pedestrians in their efforts TO
reduce the number of accidents sthat
will happen after dark.
Pedestrians along city and county
roads and those who walk in the
roads or streets at night in prefer
ence to using the sidewalks can con-
tribute materially toward reducing
the automobile accidents by walking
on the left-hand side Of the road fac
ing the oncoming traffic, according to
Dia H. Lewis, acting executive chair
man of the American Automobile AS
Isociation.
Courtesy on the part of the auto
mobile driver demands the use of
dimmed lights at night and this fac
tor, while it contributes to the safe
Ity of the passing automobiles, makes
it exceedingly difficult for the driver
to see a pedestrian walking along the
edge of the road in the same direc-
ltion the car is travelling. This diff
Guilty increases if the pedestrian hap
pens to be wearing dark clothing.
The result is that the driver is prac-
tically on top OF the person walking
before the latter becomes visible.
Walking on the left-hand side of the
road is just as good for the pedestrian
and enables him to see the oncoming
automobile in time to step aside if the
motorist does not see him in time to
swerVe.
The pedestrian should remember
that the rules of the road require the
autoist toSkeep to the right of the
road and should contribute to the
factor of safety by keeping to that
side of the read which best enables
him to escape the oncoming car and
especially the occasional speed fiend
or "fiivverboob who cares nothing
for consequences and speeds regard
less of the right of others, for it has
been truly said that whether you
were right or not does not matter If
you are in the hands of the under
taker.
This is a. very good plan and if
people who walk in the street and
! road would remember this and walk
on the feft-hand side instead OF the
right. we believe the number Of acct
dents that occur to pedestrians would
decrease.
