PLAYGROUND NO DREAM You can always find some cheer. - ful, truthful and timely reading i ebout this State in the Florida fea: i ground of America. h Grower. It's no dream to talk about Florida as the winter play- Our climate, unequaled on this continent, makes the proposition entirely practicale, and what is chiefly needed on our | part is to furnish the good roads for i b ks i B e o T O i N + pespect and confidence of the Amer- touring purroses. Given these and the wealthy from every part of the country west of the Mississippi will be swarming here by thousands dur- | fng winter in their automobiles, spending the cold months with us and leaving millions in cash among |8 every year in the aggregate. But they arc rich and they won’t #0 in large numbers where there s discomfort in road travel or hotel | sccommodations, hot even under the fure of the climate. Good roads and good hotels are indispensable. We are getting the latter rapidly, nota- dly here in Lakeland, and concern- ing the former the Florida Grower Bas this to say: “Nearly every county is waking ap. We will some day in the com- paratively near future have a state- wide system of good roads and when that time comes the people with money to spend will make this thelr winter playzround arnd property now molling at acreage prices, will be quoted by the front foot. Hillsbore ough county ‘has just; voted to ex- pend $1,000.000 for good roads; Lee, Orange, Lake and Polk counties are earnestly endeavoring to get into line. Dade county now has many miles of rood roads as have several other east coast counties. Hernando is not far behind and Pasco promises to meet Hillsborough roads and car- ry them througch. The new county of seminole now has some very good " yoads and w1l build more, Volusia county promiging to meet her half way ‘und, carry her good roads en through to the coast. Duval has some brick roads but her leading pa. pers seert to be against any increase of this cesirable feature. Prhaps the last expen-iture was stung by the graft bug. He is very prevalent all over the UnitcC States.” o— THE NERV:: RESTORER IN THE WHITE HOUSE President Wilson gets bigger and digger and better and better all the time while holding down the job to which the Amercan people called him. He is a cool, tranquil, temper- | amental tessing and example to the nervous millions of his countrymen and we hail him as the great nerve restorer who is doing more than any other influence to sooth and tranquilize his countrymen in these perilous and portentous times. He faces each emergency in its turn, *decently and in orier” as becomes bis ' Presbyterian training, and in his smiling, imperturbable way han- dles it with the sagacity of true wisdom and the quiet firmness avhich so well becomes a real man. fWith Congress and the Mexican sit- .mation both on his hands, to say pothing of very many minor issues, e is as calm as a May morning, de- eisive as Napoleon, unfailing in courtesy and cbrisideration and dom- lnte&_l in all he says and does by an incisive common sense and sound Sudgment which disarm the partisan eritfcisms of his enemies. arouse the plaudits of his friends and win the fcan’ people generally. This schoolmaster at the head of ¢he nation is a strange, new type in the White House und he is proving equal to arduous things with Jeffer. | gonian sin'plicity and strength. : ———— The big newspapers, always mind- ful of the unkrown moment ‘When the big chief at the wheel must sn- gwer the hurry call 0 Death, make ft & rule to keep his successor ‘18’ aea £ %rié;’ot the départed 'h‘;lms'mnn.

He concluded bis humorous remarks with the solemn and awful - state- | ment whish every one of us knows | to be true: “Every day there gocs to the stock e Edisonia-Theatre r§ We will be in or New Quarters, th _ August 20th we wilg on September Ist. ‘On Wednesday, August 20t for sale our entire stock of new Spring@hoes_; at 25 perd Reduction.
