This is a quotation you hear dis- cused frequently and you get a different view of the subject as often a8 you hear it discussed, One will Say we need good roads, another a better system of marketing our fruits, another more publicity, and S0 on down the line, The fact is there is nothing the matter with Florida; not a tarnation thing in the world, It is the great- St state in the Union in a thousand "ent ways. It is a land where every prospect pleases and the only fault we can find is with her people. Florida would be by far the richest state in the Union today if her peo- ple would only have it that way, and when we set about to remedy our OWn faults all the good things which we look forward to will come of their own volition. Some of conditions which we must remedy before Flor- ida can take her place in the front rank are given below. Walking down the street of a Florida town you will see cold stor- age eggs shipped in from the North, When. Florida winters make condi- tions ideal for egg producng and this state should be supplying a dozen northern states throughout the winter. We know a man who owns a thousand head of cattle in South Florila who goes to the butcher shop every day and pays forty-five cents for packing house meats shipped in from the North. This same man ships his cattle to the northern markets by the train loads. We know a man who has bushels of lemons rotting under his trees. We have also seen Florida limes— the finest that grow-—going to waste in the wild groves of the Juncgles in this county. And yet you will find on sale in almost every city in the state lemons wrapped with ‘Italan labels, | Florida spends thousands of dol- {lars every year for imported hay (when South Florida lands can pro- duce better hay and more of it to the acre than almost any section of the United States. We let our own hay go to waste and pay the north- ern farmer $25 per ton for his hay. Recently we saw a party taking a lunch on a dock in this country. They were eating Norwegian sar- dines and Alaska salmon with Kan- sas City crackers, Baltimore catsup and St. Louis pickles. The sardines ten cents, the salmon twenty cents, the crackers five cents and | the catsup fifteen cents and pickles |les twenty-five cents, making a total |of seventy-five cents. It is safe to lestimate that luncheon party paid | a tribute of fifty cents to foreign in- || dustries. But the worst feature of it is that from this very dock where the lunchers ate are shipped hun- || dreds of carloads of mullet, mackerel, trout and other fine fish every day. || Mullet are the most abundant in || Florida waters and the fishermen have sold them this season as low E and one-fourth cents per pound. Canned, dried or pickled they will compare favorably with any other fish product on the mar- I ket. Our sardines are second to .arge quantities of tomatoes e in our fields after the | shipping season is over which should 20 into catsup and supply not only | the domestic demand, but a large ex- |port trade as well. The same is “larzol,\ true of cucumbers and otter | kinds of vegetables and fruits. These areonly a few of many like | conditions that prevail throughout | thelength and breadth of the state. Every state has a label displayed on our grocery shelves but our own. | We can find oodles of dollars for (the auto factories in the north and | the oil kings of Wall Street, but if || some one of us should suggest put- \"nng money into a home manufactur- | to convert our raw {’\materials into marketable products | most of our citizens would either dis- play cold feet or laugh out-right in {his face at the thouzht of such a | pri erous pipe dream. | Does it not seem as though the | spirit of home pride anl self-depend- |ence characteristic of our people in imher respects would revolt at such | conditions? With all the natural re- | sources of wealth which Florida af- fords it is almost a disgrace that we are sending millions of dollars out of the country annually for the or- dinary necessities and comforts of ‘life which are available at home when conditions could be easily re- versed and we might havethe mil- cost one {ing enterprise | | mm*“mm”ml © 020 PQSPQBDe 0 SOUTHERN LEAGUE éDéQOQ‘PQ%O’?Q Standing of the Clubs W.

VEST POCKET ESSAYS Eating Eating is the world’s greatest in- door sport. It varies from a duty to a passion and an uncontrollable habit. Some people eat merely in order to live, while others postpone their deaths in order that they may struggle up to the table for one more square meal with trimmings, Fating is a necessity. No matter how proud or haughty a person may be he cannot rise above it In some nations almost halt of the ruler’s spare time is spent in eating rare and complicated meals, However, in these nations the peasant is usual- ly less extravagant. He gets along with a few bites a day. One of the reasons why the Russian soldier is hurling himself with such reckless courage against the enemy is doubt- less the knowledge that If he sur- vives the war he will have to B0 back home and live on black bread with cheese for dessert on holidays. Some people make eating an art and exist daintily on aesthetic look- ing dishes which a farmer could not eat fast enough to keep himself from dying of starvation. Others make eating a dissipation. The Romans were a mighty people but in time they got to lying around the dinner table for eleven hours at a time and slightly after this the empire per- ished of indigestion. A man can exist on $15 worth of food a year. However, there is no competition for this sort of a job. The average American eats up $200 worth of staple and fancy groceries, meats, etc., each year with ease . There are other Americans who step into a city restaurant in the even- ing and pay enough for a dinner to keep a Belgian family alive for a month; and there are s§ill other Amercians who manage to consume $10,000 worth of food a year. It is staggering to the mind to conceive of a man who can load away this amount of provisions. Still, many ordinary sized men do it. When we think of the large number of soup kitchens which had to close down this winter before the line was fed and then ponder upon the vora- clous eaters and drinkers of the s world’s choicest foods we wonder if Providence in its inscrutable ways will not get tired of them some day and invest them with a thick coat of bristles in order that they may herd with their kind. — Why He Was Pleased. “Yessir,” said the rugged moun- talneer to the member of congress, “I'm goin’ to vote fer you, hard an’ frequent.

I felt 1 should like to know her. Wouldn't you? For it is indeed rare to find any- one who does not consider the giv- ing of his or her opinion on all sub- Jjects as one of the most important functions of existence. How our neighbors should spend their money— How they should bring up their children— How they could have avoided mis- fortunes of all sorts, especially fin- ancial— Whom they really should have married instead of the people they did marry— How they could dress more taste- fully— How few of us there are who do not feel called upon to give our opinion on these or similar subjects every day of our lives. There is a great satisfaction in giving one's opinion. It is such a delightfully painless way of benefit- ing (?) mankind. Material giving has its disadvantages, It is often a duty which, like having an aching tooth puled out, is rather a relief to have accomplished but a terrible wrench at the time. Whereas, giv- ing one’s opinion is as easy, natural and painless as breathing, Giving one’s opinion on the var- fous ways in which one's friends and neighbors could improve them- selves, is of course, the favorite form for this sport, but giving one's opin- ion on impersonal things such as an event or a work of art, runs it a close second. Many people read books and attend plays not so much to enjoy them as to be able to give some opin- fon upon them. And having primed themselves they deliver it with a sonorous self approval and not the slightest doubt as to its enduring value, And Yet What Is Conversation And yet, you ask me, what should we talk about if we didn’t give our various opinions. What is conver- sation if not the reaction of our minds upon events and personalities and so forth? Right you are. And very silly you make me seem if you take in Jjust that sense. Of course comment on things and people and events is perfectly legitimate and of course mere statements of fact would make lifeless conversation, Living and Letting Live But you very well know I didn't mean to suggest that we confine our- selves to saving “It is a dull day” or “I went to the play last night.” When my friend says of her friend “She 1s one of those rare people who seldom give their opinion unless they are asked,” she means that she is one of those people who are not for- ever offering their views on al] sub- Jects to the world as of supreme im- portance, one of those rare heings who are content to live in their own way and let their neighbors live in their's without saying “I should think—"" Of course we must have opinions, but most of us keep them to our- selves a little more than we do with advantage, and we can make sure that those we do advance are worth something. It isn’t plain opinions that are ob- jectionable, but opinionated opin- ions.—Ruth Cameron.
