AS Others See 1t

(Arcadia News.)

Vision is the greatest thing in the world
Ii some one had not had a vision there would
be cities. These cities would have no electric
lights, trolley cars, automobiles, no tee-
phones. No wireless would bridge the oceans in
a few seconds. No great ships would pillow the
waters.
Pioneers who went into the vast wilderness OF
the American West encountered Indians, huge
herds of buffalo, wolves and rattlesnakes But
they had vision. They saw great fields of way
ing corn and knew that a hungry world would be
fed from those wild prairies. They saw orchards,
roads, schools, comfortable homes and thriving
towns. These things they saw not Of their
day but for the comfort and we'll being of their
children and their children's children.
There are those who today see in Florida moth
ing but great tracts of sand 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 past in
Florida now.
In this day there too few willing to be pion-
GERS. We are all too softened by the contact OF
modern conveniences. We do not want to sepa-
rate ourselves from running water electric lights
and moving picture shows
There are few with vision, however. Go into
the country, travel miles across the prairie and
lake or within clump of trees, you will find
the home of one Of these. His small territory
is being made to bloom as the rose. He has a
small grove. His poultry yard is we'll stocked
and he has everything necessary to support life
at his door. An infrequent trip to town supplies
the few things he is unable to grow in the fertile
Florida soil.
This and his family pioneers. Some
day their dreams will come true. Hard-surfaced
roads will lead past their doors and the daily mail
will bring them the of the world outside.
They will also, by the same means, be placed in
easier communication with their trading centers.
Their lands will become valuable And at last,
perhaps not in the day of the pioneer, but when
his children have raised families of their own,
there will be more wilderness, no more land
lying idle and useless except as a feeding ground
for scrawny wild cattle, and Florida will be do
ing what the West once did-fesding the world.
1t will not be grains, but vegetables plentiful
when other parts of the country need them most
fruits, berries and other things that the public
cannot get along without.
All this will come about, not merely by standing
by and wishing it so, but by hard work. And Il
hard work will be done by only one class-the men
with vision and the women who are willing to
help them.

A NOTORIOUS BRIDGE

The great steel and concrete bridge spanning
the St. Johns river between the cities of Jackson
vile and South Jacksonville, erected by the county
commissioners OF Duyal county at cost of ST.
100000 from funds raised through bond issue,
is becoming notorious throughout the country as
a gold NINE Figures covering the operation of the
structure for the first nine month since its opening,
show that the gross receipts have been about $l23
900 and the expenses of operation about $32 900,
leaving the net earnings close to $9l 900. With
out taking into consideration the future years with
their steady increase of traffic, the bridge will pay
its way out of debt within the next twelve or hf-
teen years though the bonds cover period of thirty
years Confronted with this serious situation Of
having a sufficient amount of money available to
retire all the bonds within half the allotted period
of expiration, the commissioners are now consid-
ing reducing the tolls so that money will not
in so rapidly as to cause embarrassment One can
readily understand how awkward it must be to
have funds actually dumped at the feet of county
board thereby upsetting all the preconceved plans
for the retirement Of the bonds as per schedule.
Without making any charge for the advice the
Duval commissioners might introduce a sort of
.'open season for free bridge traffic and then,
when all the accumulation of receipts has been dis
sipated, resume the tolls Of course there are other
ways CT spending those surplus funds if people
will persist in patronizing the bridge and paying
for the privilege but that is Duval's problem since
Duval holds the money bags. In the meantime the
ST. Johns river bridge is receiving public press
tees all over the country as being almost alone in
its class Of public owned utilities on such great
paying basis.

SANFORD STEPS FORWARD

The voters Of Sanford recently showed their
public spirit and their good sense by overwhelm-
ingly supporting bond issue for municipal i'm
prcvements More than 1925 900 will be spent
fer new streets, a municipal pier out into Lake
Monroe, boat basin. public library and certain
minor civic undertakings Possibly the most re-
markable thing about the vote was the fact that
there were 4 ) in favor Of the bends and only 50
against, the proportion being about eight to one.
Within a year Sanford will be able to boast of
paved streets in practically every section of the
city, complete system Of sewers and a 100000
municipal pier that would be credit to cities many
times the size of Sanford. incidentally, it is rather
surprising to be told by Bob Holly's Sanford Her
aid that the present population CT Sanford is in
excess of 1000. Reference to Sanford's achieve
ment would not be complete were mention omitted
of the part the Sanford Herald played in securing
the passage of the bond issue. Of course no news
paper can afford to be nonprogressive and it would
naturally be expected that Bob Holley would work
for and support anything that meant bigger and
better Sanford, SO in giving credit for what has
been accomplished, the Herald should not be left
out of the reckoning.

RAIN AND DRoUT,I


The waters piled in my front yard all kinds
of water, soft and hard and still the rain comes
stopping down, and saturates the weary town.
The rain against the window beats, and catfish
throng the village streets, and even frogs and
ducks are tired; they have more rain than they
desired And while the days wildly wet, |
read the Gophertown Gazette, the old home pa
per that has brought for years it freight of Gems
Of Thought And back in Gophertown, it seems
all dried up the babbling streams; there is
no water in the wells; parching population yells
fr just little slice of rain, and all it's yelling is in
vain. No rain clouds gather in the sky, the river
beds dusty dry, while fish sit up along the
brink and gasp fer something fit to drink. The
weather bureau should reform; why does it al
ways send storm where there should be a cloud
less sky, and send drouth where it is dry? Why
does it drench the western coast, and dodge the
plains that need rain most? Why am | always
stuck in mud, or battling through turbid flood,
while other fellows voice their wrath because
they cannot have a bath? The weather bureau
makes me tired; all winter long it's kept me
mired.
