Tn the field Nelda stooped down eagerly to examine the tender shoots that were breaking through the soil. Each little ridge looked as if it had been touched by an invisible and miraculous hand. As far as she could see the rows were Sprouting tiny, green leaves. Green gold! It made her feel vitally. joy= ously alive. “What a crop!” she exclaimed. “Will you haye a lotta money when you sell it, Aunt Nelda?” Candy wanted to know. “More than $3,000, perhaps.” “Then will you gimme a nickel?” “Tll buy you @ pony!” Nelda poeta ild t. apene her aroun a gay ce. ‘A mama pony?” the child asked “Maybe” Nelda set Candy n. “You are a precious little nut!” She gave a soft laugh and kissed her niece. They saw the postman’s car be- side the neat row of rufal mail boxes at the roadside. He was put- ting somethi into the Barrie box. They walked to the road. Presently Candy ran ahead. “Look!” she cried, taking two letters out of the mail box. “We'll Be Seeing You? OTH letters were for Nelda.

Sports LATEST BOOK GIVES see “So This Is Florida” Is a2 COMPREHENSIVE Title of “Publication CARBONELL STARS OUTLINE OF FLORIDA’S ACT'V'TIES AND CONCHS MEET TONIGHT AT GYM INTEREST IN BASKETBALL GAME RUNS HIGH: HARD- FOUGHT CONTEST EXPECT- ED BY FANS High School Conchs, briliant five which defeated Andrew Jackson 53-12 Friday night, will take on the leading City League Carbonell Stars tonight at the Gym. In a preliminary exhibition game, the Fellowship Club, which sadly shows its lack of practice after early good play, will tune up with the High School B squad. Interest in the Varsity-Stars game runs high today, and the contest is expected to be most bitterly fought. Both teams play a hard, fast type of game, the Stars perhaps breaking better for the hoop, and poison under the basket, but the varsity has a tighter five-man defense, sharper shooters, and is nearing its: peak of training. It will be more ‘a question of whether the Varsity will continue its brand of excel- lent play tonight or whether it will slump as in other games with the Stars. If it slumps just a trifle, it'll be a “gone” game for them, the Stars are just that good. Another question will be if the Stars can crack the zone defense of the Varsity, because the Var- sity shooters can’t be easily stopped and will bump right along in scoring. The Carbonell- men are tall and scrappy and will furnish much more competition than the Jackson Generals did in this respect. The High School B squad is rather small but a snappy organi- | zation and the “old timers” Fel- “Happy New Year!" stied Bill, and kissed her. “it must have been the Phere of the Powell home hiet oh the cause of what happened at midnight. When the hands of the clozk on the kitehen stove reached twelve Bill ant Nelda were at the table putting sandwiches together “Happy New Year!” she cried Phas Rot eed Year!" A sudden. reckless look crossed his face. He kissed her full upon the lips. After it was over he seemed as surprised as she was. but not repentant. “You asked for it,” he said “Why—I did not!” A hot. vivid- ness like flame was touching her nerves. Het heart was hurrying. “If your hair didn’t curl in that adorable way perhaps I coud have you.” i? So it was no wonder be i: in.

The Clubbers have played very logeyly the last three book by Frank Parker Stockbridge and John H. Perry, who wrote “Flor- ida In The Making” ten years ago, is a comprehensive and modern picture of Florida as it is today. ft has been endorsed by the Flor- ida State Chamber of Commerce. Historic Pensacola and its near- by forest industry, the “Old South” of the Suwanee River with tobaceo and cotton industry, old Tallahassee, the ancient sea- port of Apalachicola, tung oil, the great port of Tampa, Fort Myers and its royal palm atmosphere, the cattle ranges of central Fler- ida, the Singing Bok Tower, the nation’s only tropics, the Ever- glades, the inland citrus regions, from which Florida's sweet and juicy oranges and grapefruit come, Silver Springs, the under- water fairyland, are some of the topics treated. Industrial and progressive Jack- sonville, America’s Oldest City St. Augustine, magnificent Daytona Beach, Florida soils, the Indian River country of pineapples and a eopee variety of industries, the play- ground of America in Palm Beach and Miami, and the big sport grounds of unique Key West, the Ship Canal, are other headings. The entire state is thus well covered but the scholarship of the authors makes a sharp distinction between the Florida of ten years ago and the state today, econom- ically, politically, socially, and agriculturally all is laid on a svtenie background seen nowhere else in the country. Worked into all this is the his- tory of the past, not only of the past, not only of the first explor- ers, but the early pioneers, the early builders in all the -com- munities. This information is most important and interesting in Florida history. The Citizen knows of no other book which the tourist ard na- tives of Florida should read be- fore “So This Is Florida” to get a vivid view of every corner of the state and an initiation into the possibilities of Florida.as seen in the work of the past.
