Of rehabilitation today with assurance
that the outside world was responding
generously to appeals for supplies and
money.
Daily reports to the Red Cross relief
organiza ton indicated that allotments
for the $5O00,O00 relief fund set for
the country would be oversubscribed IN
this State, and that other sections of
the country were progressing toward
their respective quotas.
Additional roads have been cleared
of debris to expedite the bringing in of
supplies to the devastated area. Con-
nors Highway along the eastern shore
of Lake Okeechobee has been opened
from Okeechobee City to Canal Point.
Meanwhile, while the people in the
affected area are doing what they can
toward rehabilitation, the national
headquarters of the Red Cross has
under adviscment plan to ask the
people of the country for fund of
$12,000.000 for the permanent rchabili-
tation of the OkPechobee farming region,
where most of the estimated 1900 lives
were lost when Lake Okcechobee was
blown over its banks by the hurricane.
Many people in this section are deSti-
tute and it is feared that unless they
are helped soon 1t will take years for
thom to get back to normally.

the storm, coffee exports were its chief
asset. with needlework second and SUI

cally unframed by the hurricane. but
nevertheless it was hard hit economical

THOMAS HARDY.

It will not be easy to think of world with out Thomas Hardy. It has been lifetime since 'sUnder the Greenwood Tree'' and Far from the Madding Crowd" were best sellers and made it known that England had another novelist star of the first magnitude. It has been nearly two score years since 'Tess of the D'uberyilles, fol- lowed in 1895 by Jude the Obscufe' caused critics to cease comparing Hardy with George Eliot and to place him in class by himself among English writers His fame lost none of it's Iustre from subsequent novels and other writing
 Hardy was a master of virle English and he was unexcelled story teller. The char acters were introduced quickly and effectively Interest in them began Immediately and was not permitted to lag-not after the final "finis had been read
 It was wonderful life that this wonderful little Englishman quit in his sSth year Like his books it became interesting early and he was interesting to the end He lived as he wrote logically and forcefully throughout more than three score years of ripe maturity
 Unlike many before and younger than him- self Hardy did not oyerdo his product. He did not write himself dry. In fact his admirers have often thought he should have written more For one who very live living author for more than sixty years his books were not many but everything that he wrote was read with avidity by those who love good literature. It is not prophecy to say that he will go down in history as one of the great lights of all time. His position among the immortals Of literature was long ago firmly established
 The publisher who first offers to the public an authorized complete edition of Hardys writ ings should profit from an inevitable revivai of the famous author
