It stops the gambling in stocks on those exchanges and is a precaution | against a panic that might be precip- itated by disastrous fluctuations in ' the value of securities in which a great part of the world's wealth is locked up. _—— Those Kuropean military censors are doing what they can to suppress war news, but there is no power un- der heaven devised by the in- genuity of man that can keep the great Associated Press from learning the material facts and sending them out to the Associated Press papers. The very cream of the latest war news, boiled down, ¢ne big, vital facts in the situation, are found on | the front page of the Lakeland Tele- gram every afternoon and from no other source can the readers in this ! field get it so nearly right up to the minute. yet MBS T ey of the has returned from with a glowing ac- count of the exposition prospects there and full details of the fine site set apart for the Florida build- ing. But unless somebody goes to work and workg fast ¢nd effectively there won't be any Florida building on that site nor any Florida exhibit for the building. It is up to Mr. Conoley, General Foster and others who have undertaken to raise the money as well as the wind to have a Florida exhibit at Frisco, to get mighty busy to that end, for the time is short and the task an ardu- ous one.

Everyone who has the interest of his home com- munity at heart may some time get I so enthusiastic as to do another part of the State an injustice and we be- lieve that the article, which we pub- lish below, is as applicable to any class of citizens as real estate agents, and to show the harm that knocking another community accomplishes, publish the article, which follows: Tampa, Fla., July, 1914. Dear Billy—When [ go into a store and ask for some special ar- ticle it always gets my nanny to have the clerk ease out a line of gush in favor of something “just as good" or “far better,’ and at the] same particular brand I called for. You can take it from me I alwayc put the fellow down ag a poor salesman, likewise a knocker and a fathead. 1 know what I want, Billy, or I would not ask for it. [ hate a knocker, anyhow. Some fellows don't seem to be happy unless they are swinging a hammer and they'll knock any- thing and everything that don't give them a direct benefit. Why, I know one guy that knocked so much he developed into a regular crab and had to walk sideways. Speaking of Kkno there some real estate men here in Flor- are 7] ida that their own State than all window tourists and land-sharks combined, and the pity of it is that the poor yaps don't realize what they are doing. Why, if yon were to call any one of them a knocker to his face he'd get sore like a punc- tured eye-tooth and want to muss you up with his fists. Just the same, its the straight truth, Billy, and if it were not for the fact that Florida hag to suffer because of it, 1 should say that it was actually funny. What | mean is the way these real estate agents handle a prospect. Some of them have just about as good an idea of salesmanship as a New York policeman has of hon- esty. When a homeseeker comes to Flor- ida to give the country the “double 0" what he's after is information. He's not a fool. Billy wants to gaze and ¢ little before he unlashes his little store of the needful. Well, we'll say he goes to Polk county, When he arrives tlie real estate men grab him by the mit, coo tc him, gush over him, sit in his lap and oYy, are are arouvnd a ods employed in capturing a pect. All the time they're telling him of the wonders and advantages pros- of their particular localty, That's right and proper, and I'm for it, T like to see a good booster. Some day, when [ get wished on to a lot (of money I'm going to build a statue to the fellow that invented a horn. Now, | the rough stuff comes in. The home- seeker admits Polk county to be at- tractive, but explains that there one or two other places he look at he makes a decision and perhaps he county are wants to before mentions Manatee as one of them. Good night. The Polk county man gors uyn in the air like the cost of living., He be- gins to knock Manatee like an auto- matic trip hamme He lights into his prospect and t the black soil of Manatee is absolutely worth- ess; he goes on to say that you couldn’t even raise an umbrella there.

You can imagine how their batting average drops in his estima- tion. He forms an opinion of these raw-birds that must be a peach. He finds things the same every- where he goes. Everybody knock- ing everybody else. Oh, it's a beau- tiful impression he gets. One fellow tells him just the opposite from the other fellow tells him. The dealer in South Florida informs him he will be frozen out in Central Flor- ida, while the man in Central Flor- ida claims that South Florida fruit is so punk it won’t hold up for ship ment to the northern markets, and, anyhow, the whole country there is nothing but a vast swamp. When he's on the East coast the West coast is no good, and when he's on the West coast the East coast is the goat, and between the bunch of them these yaps have the poor guy so fussed he don’t know where OO PO LB TR ECHE BB LS CHECE HAILWAY o AR &O#WQ’C&EO%&O%W Agt , Jacksonville, Fla. 2 TICKETS RETURN ROUND TRIP FARES FROM JACKSONVILLE Anderson C$1140 Lake Toxaway \i.iivv oesn, | A\.\|\|-\|.ll¢ .............. 13.00 RichHORd S s e s st s ABDRVITIRG 0 o s ounteiett 11,00 ) | Baltimore (via Norfolk S | BRABLEAMET)! iy i viot 19.50 Sauioh 8 BUROVARG ccinaitit o haen 13.30 SHAPIANDUBE. e sa 12,10 i CHALLADOORA: v G siiviny 13.80 Tate Station (tor Tate 3 Plat Rook ¢ 12.20 Springs ..\ ..... t 50 4 g Flovilla (for Indian AN e s e L 1§ .v-\.lm”:;m ..... 900 Warnesville: oo, s niien . ?
