farmer eonfine his planting so as to
meet the needs Of the American con-

Center of Cigar Industry
In Tampa Mostly Spanish

TAMPA, Fla, Nov 30.-Ybor City
is the center of the cigar industry
in Tampa and of it's population more
than $4,000 people are of the Span
ish race. A great many of them use
the Spanish language almost eXclu-
siyely.
Ybor City was named after one of
the pregenitors of the Ybor family,
early settlers in Tampa. 1t appears
as a city transplanted from Spain.
The traditional love of the Spanish
for music and drama resulted in the
erection of the Centro Asturiano, a
handsome opera and club house,
whore Metropolitan stars have fre-
quently entertained.
Other Latin elements also are
found in Ybor City, notably the Ital-
ians, who have built a beautiful au-
ditorium as an adjunct to their club.
Local activities in real estate has
AFFECTED Ybor City and resulted in
the displacement Of some landmarks,
but the Latin element pursues its
way uninfluenced by such material
matters as land values.
