The danger comes from the sick ones, but don't stop to feel their pulse or take their temperature— kill 'em all. ——— Editor Howard of the Orlando Citizen is a cool and courteous jour- nalist who believes in the amenities and conforms to the ethics, but he knows how to skin an adversary when he feels that the man and the opportunity have met. He calls it “uncovering." 0 The editor of the Tarpon Springs Leader, wha is a native of Georgia, indignantly protests ‘‘against the appuication of the opprobrious term, “Cracker State” to Georgia. Why not take up the cudgel for Florida, also, for the alleged opprobrious term is widely applied to hoth this State and its people, Indiana finds nothing opprobrious in the \\'ordI “Hoosier,”” and neither from etymol- ogy nor association need there be anything offensive in the word “Cracker.” ot iy The Florida Drainoge Association met in Jacksonville Monday and concluded that the greatest need of the present time is an educational campaign to arouse interest among the people on the subject of drain- age. Since Broward started the matter of reclaiming the Everglades we have had whole libraries of liter- ature on the subject, and outside of a very few immediately interested, nobody knows anything about it. The issue was buried under tons of lawyers' lore, conflicting acts of the Legislature, court decisions, federal statutes, railroad land grants and in- terminable legal disputes until the people got sick of the subject and it still gives the average citizen that tired feeling when anybody opens up on draining the Everglades, Binieniiniini The reported movement by his friends in Jacksonville in behalf of Senator Bryan for the vacant seat on the supreme bench at Washing- ton is zeal without judgment. Sen- ator Bryan is a fine, clean, upright voung man of good ability and ir- reproachable character, but he has neither the ripe maturity nor legal experience that would justify his ap- pointment to the greatest judicial tribunal on earth, and he, of course, doesn’t expect anything of the kind. But the case of Judge Hocker is a very different one, He is of full size for any judicial position in this coun- try and if our senators and repre- sentatives, backed by the State press, would present his name to the president and fully inform him of the merits of the man, the rec- ommendation would doubtless re-| ceive serious consideration and the claims of Judge Hocker be thorough- 1y investigated. It is a waste of time and energy to press Senator Bryan for the place. —_—— This is mighty warm weather to git in church in full dress uniform and absorb the service in the calm, receptive frame of mind necessary to get the fullest spiritual advantage of the occasion. It is an age of progress, conspicuously so in all things sartorial, and we do things and wear things now, or don't do things and don’t wear things with- out comment or criticism that would have dreadfully shocked our simple ancestors who held that we could worship God in the cut of our clothes as well as in the conduct of our lives. In this connection we of- fer the following from Dr. Daniel, pastor of the First Baptist church of Atlanta, Ga.: “When a man goes to a ball game he leaves his coat off and enjoy I want the men to enjoy my preaching would a ball game, and this is im- possible if they wear coats. I don't| believe a man can be converted half | as quick if he is hot and worried, and if the men go to church with- | out their coats it is perfectly agree- able to me.” goes to himself. as much as they THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, A man in Southern California writeg to the editor of the Clear- water Sun that “any amount of peo- ple there are turning their eyes to- ward Florida, but times are dull here and it is going to be hard to get rid of what you are tied up in.” That sort of talk is coming with increas- ing frequency from California, and if we could get an exhibit at the San Francisco exposition that would fair- ly suggest our resources and demon- strate the undoubted superiority of] our oranges and grapefruit Cali- fornians would come to us in car- load lots. Old John Burroughs, the famous naturalist, who spent last winter in South Florida and knows all about California, says that.exs cepting the mountains’ this section has every natural advantage over.the boasted region tributary to Los An- geles. All we need is more people of the right type and those Cali- fornians will suit us right down to the ground. PRI AR The Tampa Times may be sure that our little reference to ‘‘a per- fect gentleman” in a recent para- graph was made in no discourteous spirit. It was merely a bit of gen- tie irony aimed at the subject mat- ‘er of the paragraph and intended to give it a dash of spice to make it stick. The editor of the Times is secure in his reputation as a per- fect 2entleman and we should never risk our own by assailing it. FLORIDA'S DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL LAST YEAR ONE OF GREAT PROGRESS. The Kissimmee Valley Ga- zette has the following to say re- garding the progress made in'g l‘lmida during the twelve. months ending Much 15, 1914 “In the twelve months from March 15, 1913, to March 151 1914, Ilorida has undoubtedly ‘made greater progress than in any year. “In the first place, Florida grew and marketed in that twelve mbnths’ period of time more cit-| rus fruits than in any other, twelve month's period. She produced and sold more winter vegetables than in any other twelve months’ period. She raised myure corn, more hogs, more cattle and sold them for better prices than in a like period in any part of her past. Millions more in dollars in cash have been brought into Florida in the past t\\cl\u months than in any year previously. More has been paid out for labor. More has been paid out for transportation and more for supplies of various kinds than ever before. “The state has more in the twelve months’ peri- od from March to March than in any previous year. There have been built more good roads; there have been more improve- ments of waterways; more farm and grove development; more mprovement in live stock con- ditions and production; more acreage planted to citrus fruits, to vegetables, to general farm products. The ])11\\1&.11 and fi- nmunl condition of Florida and her people should be better to- day than it has ever been. “Florida has been adversely advertised and injured by peo- who have not urnplcd to injure her fair name for the furtherance of their own ends. Deception has been practised in selling lands. But that is a thing of the past. The state is going ahead now on a substantial basis. The! get-rich-quick propositions have been elimjnated. Florida is ap- pealing to the people of other| states because she has some- thing substantial to offer. She has inducements for capital and| labor, and for enterprises. She has millions of acres of product-| ive land in which thuc has never | been a plowshare.” success.

Spraying of fruit trees should be compelled by state law, says John Wilbur of Winter Haven, an orange expert, who has re- turned to that place after a care- ful mapectxon and mvestlgatxon of the citrus fruit situation and whese ‘long experience in that line has given him an insight in- to every ‘phase of the industry. He is of the opinion that if a grove owner will not spray his trees, there should be provision made for some punishment, or to have the trees sprayed and the cost charged up to him. In case a man is financially unable to pay for the treatmen, provision is to be made to help him out in that way. Such a plan, thinks M. Wilbur, is the only way to prevent the inroads of or pests. One farmer may keep his trees carefully treated, but unless his neighbor does the same, it avails but little it is pointed out. “Ldkc county has employed a man,” said Mr. Wilbur, “who is paid by the county and sent all around to visit the groves and lielp them in every way possible, such as in the planting and care of the trees. I have talked with those who have known him well and all seemj to be pleased with he instructions given them. He has helped many people. Poor Advice is N. G. “The greatest trouble with newcomers is that advice is given them by people who think they kitow all about the business but who are really not practical men at all.

When one suffers the tor- tures of an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many Iremedies today that relieve, but do not cure. Doan's Kidney Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is Lakeland evidence of their merit, ' Frank Ulmer, S. Florida Ave., Lake- land, says: ‘\1) back ached and I had a heavy feeling across my loins that kept me in misery. I knew that | my kidneys were not acting right, as I had to pass the kidney secretions every little while. 1T did not nay much attention to the trouble at first but it kept getting worse and when someone suggested that I try Doan's Kidney Pills, T did. 1In two days I could see a change for the better. Before T had finished one box, I was completely cured.” Price 50c, at all dealers. simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Ulmer had.

Last year the trees paid him $1,500. “Now one-third of that ferti- lizer would not have brought such results, because a tree must make wood as well as fruit or there will be no crop on the fol- lowing year. To be sure one could mnke a crop on less ferti- lizer, but unless you make good wood growth no fruit eyes wil form. “Dhing the months of Nov em- ber, December "and January, continued Mr. Wilbur, “a tree 18 supposed to be dormant but during that entire period the size of the limbs and trunks of the tree increases, while the roots also increase. Therfore if the tree is well fed in November a normal amount of growth can be made. “Many growers seem to be afraid to fertilize at this time, fearing that it will increase the size of the fruit, but this may be obiviated by a small amount of ammonia in the fertilizer and al- so a little potash. The potash makes a tougher peel and a thin- ner one 'md also adds sugar to the juice.” Wflww Dr. SAMUEL F. SMITH .
