FLORIDA

(By Rev. III. II. Scott)
Florida is land of optimism
and discouragement, of high am
bitions and endless hopes. Here
great extremes meet; soil the poor
est, and soil in some places the
richest; white sand in the north,
and farther south, rich mucklands,
sometimes twenty feet deep. Some
times the contrast is very sharp, be-
tween civilization and the jungle;
Miami, the wonder city," lies
close to the extensive waste of the
Everglades. Contrast further the
wealth of the millionaire winter
resident and the poverty of the
native farmer.
Florida is our Oldest state from
the standpoint of exploration.
Ponce de Leon, according to the
archives preserved in the history of
the state, landed at the coast where
St Augustine stands, Easter Sun
day, March 27, 1912, just 30 years
after Columbus started on his voy-
age. 1t is accurate history, as we'll
as beautiful story He called it
the land of flowers, and SO it is!
The flowers of Florida are tropical
in character, rich and varied.
Florida is our largest state east
of the Mississippi, save Georgia,
and almost as large as the whole
of New England. It's coast line is
a great asset for a tourist state,
and the length of its coast, 2,276
miles, is nearly three times the dis
tance from our own state to its
boundary.
Florida is a land of great tidal
migrations. Something like mill

The people go north with the birds.
The apartment houses shut up, the
great hotels close and a quiet sea-
son reigns, awaiting the influx of
visitors again in the autumn. The
movement of money and people to
Florida every year forms a great
part of it's history.

One is not impressed with the farm
ing conditions in the northern part
of the state. Water scenes, cy-
press swamps, negro cabins, razor
back hogs, and native cattle,
descendants of the herds brought
over by Spain, proclaim the gener-
al poverty Of the people. The cat
tie are spotted, small boned, lean
from winter privations, roaming
wild, and with few fences to give
them restraint.
Turpentine is gathered like
maple syrup. First the bark is re-
moved as high as a mans head, the
liquid exudation caught in small
cups, hauled to the factory or STILL
then distilled over as spirits of tur-
pentine. The by-products are
resin, tar and medicinal oils. 1t
takes the product of 10000 trees to

Lumber from the cypress trees is
air-dried, standing on end from one

is shipped away to be dried in kilns.

DEMPSEY'S eyes were beginning
- to bother him at that time
and think he had fears Of being
permanently injured if he stayed in
the ring. 1t may &c, too, that he
had become convinced that the
younger and better-grained Tunney
was too good for him and that he
would lose again if he came back a
third time.
At any rate, the third bout was
never close to being held and the
greatest natural" in the history OF
the game was allowed to die, much
to the bitter despair of Richard
Tunney wasn't very happy over it,
either. He knew it meant the loss
of another million dollar purse, not
to mention the chance to get his
knockout.
Dempsey never has hesitated to
give Tunney full credit. He was
much the better fighter at Phila-
delphia," Dempsey admits. And I
guess he was better at Chicago"
Even now you can't get Dempsey to
talk about that knockdown, beyond
commenting that it was "a bad
break"

was responsible largely for the fight
depression.
He emphasized that he would not
give the Garden any guarantee for
the boxing privileges but would
operate on a percentage basis. This
should be agreeable to the Garden,
he said, because it is losing plenty
in the ring every year.
Concerning the heavyweight sit
uation, Dempsey said he would like
to have Make Baer fight three or
four warm-up bouts before meeting
champion Primo Camera for his
title.
Right now Camera probably
would beat Baer," he explained.
Make is out of conditions But
with three or four fights under his
belt, Make would have a good
chance of knocking Camera out"

no inviting targets. His unmarked
ears and face offer convincing proof
OF this. Dempsey was always a
gambler in the ring, but he seldom
took any unnecessary chances.
Just the same Tunney would have
got his knockout if the bout
hadn't been limited to ten rounds.
He certainly would have got his
knockout at Philadelphia. Dempsey
was blinded and out on his feet
when the final bell sounded. I
doubt that he could have gone an
other round, and it is a cinch he
couldn't have gone five more
rounds. He was pretty tired when
the finish came at Chicago, too.
Despite the fact that he came
within a few ticks of the clock III
retrieving his championship at
Chicago, Dempsey was not inter-
ested IN meeting Tunney again.
Richard tried hard to get him TO
make one more fight, but he re-
fused to listen to any sort of propo-
sition. Eve had enough" he said.
and he meant it.

Already the drama of the bruising
fight under the white lights, the
color of the amazing pageant had
disappeared from Richards memory.
Only one thing interested him, the
