DEPRESSION N " FLORIDA PASSING Reports Indicate That State Now Is Picking Up ¥ampa, Fla., Jan, 6. —(®—Flori- dians ave regaiaing their faith in the future ecoadinic development of the state and are paying their way out of the financial muddle left by the collapse of one of the greatest investment booms in history, lead- ing Florida busiaess men say. They declare his year has seen a campaign of retrenchment and | economy throughout all lines of in- dustry quite different from the orgy of spending when the boom wag in swing. The period of depression appar- ently is passing, business lcaders agree, declaring the state as a whole is in fairly good econemic condition. > Reviewing the period following the boom, H. A, Dann of St, Peters- burg, president of the State Cham- ber of Commerce, said that “some Floridians, usfamiliar with condi- | tions throughout the country dur- ing the summer, were of the opin- ion that Florida alone was expe- riencing a wave of depression.” “Investigation has developed, however,"” he added, “that in com- parison with _other states: Florida actually was in u more favorable position. Although progress will be slow for a few years, the state is bound to come back to normaley. No Florida political division has been reported as having defaulted on its obligations, and a number of municipalities have actually | gone into the open market recent'y advance of the date of maturity.” Peter O. Knight, prominent Tam- pa lawyer, banker and business man, said Florida banks bave more cash on hand: today than at any time in history ad that never be- tore have prospects for sound, eco- nomic development of the atate bgen more promising. Mr, Knight looks for another boom in six or seyen years. boom days whe invested thelr all in first payments, expecting to sell at a profit before the second payment was due, lost everything, Mr. Knight explained. ' Since then, he asserted, they have mis-represent- ed conditions to the extent of af- fecting the solvency of the state and its fnstitutions. “I think that'l can safely eay,” he declared, “that very few people who put their money in ' good, sound investments and kept it there without speculation suffered any financial losses." Raliway and steamship compa- nies, . with the booking offices of hotels, predict a heavy winter tour- ist trade. NEW POTATO DEVELOPED tato that is said to be *“bugless,” and apparently resistant to scab and other common diseases, has been de- veloped by A. J. Reems, of Kildeer, Four years ago Heems found an odd hill of whito-skinned potatoes in a Red Triumph planting. He for tered the strain by special cultiv tion, and now claims a virtually per- fect potato. Except for one carload that was shipped to a South the entire gvoduction of the unusual tuber is stored on two farms at Kil- deer. The strain matures two weeks earlier than other Triumph- varie- tles, but requires no more moisture than any of the common types of and purchased their own paper in 2 | Rie = potato. | ousands of persons during the NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1928.

It consists of | parts and is set in motion by a smal !3.volt dry battery, such as is used | for little” pocket lamps. | “I had to choose my muaterial |caretully,” Klose said as he set the | | tiny motor in motion. “A number of seemingly insurmountable difficul- ties had to be faced. For instance, 1 |bad to guard against over-heating | |the diminutive apparatus. Now that | turn out a duplicate any time in two | months and a half in intensi vork, |provided I can drop my watch-mak- |me during that time." | |+ Though the motor is covered by a | ass globe, to prevent Just gelting into it, its Liliputian propeller re- volves with such velocity as to cause a gently purring noise clearing audible to the bystander. | | Klose had his motorette examin- burg, which'found it to function in | | perfect order. | THIRTEEN-CITY ORCHESTRA | .
