II ftf the state- adjacent to Florida i,ot want to mi .1 still greater drain i r g of their own population iip o Mor Ida, they must follow Florida’s ex ample ol energy, \ irility and asm and ol advertising which natch what Florida is doing. Heretofore Florida hits been widely advertised, hut largely by cities. They have spent money lavish ly, and the result is seen in the tre mendous growth ol these cities and in the rush of men and money Florida which, even if regarded sober ly, is staggering, for as far as one can judge it surpasses anything ever seen in this country. The rush to California, both of men and money. creating the vast wealth of that state, is at the present time probably being largely surpassed by the movement of men of great power and wealth into Florida, with the vast upbuilding enterprises which they are handling; hut Florida is not satisfied. A few ilays ago a meeting was held at West Palm Beach called the All Florida Development Congress. It had l een called by many of the foremost men of the state, and the attendance of great leaders in finance and city tipbuilding activities proved that they were in deadly earnest. Unlike many rAwtirigfs called in other states, where Ihe attendance has been slim and the spirit of liberality and enthusiam lacking, this meeting brought togeth er about 150 men—millionaires, mul l,millionaires, city upbuilders, railroad people and others, all desperately in earnest in behalf of a broader cam paign for Florida’s upbuilding. of the whole After a full discussion subject from every angle, a legislature was offered that the state . he requested to appropriate to he u year for at least two years, imed strictly in advertisim? in new 'S papers and magazines. There was voice raised in opposition, and only one and that was the voice of a bank , proposed that the * r who expressing should he $400,000, named thought that the amount was loo small to do the work which should be done in behalf of Florida. It was agreed, however, that only a year would be asked for at the present time, but when this had been unanimously adopted a statement was then made that this money, which it was hoped would he appropriated bv the state, must be spent exclusive t« for advertising space and not a sin gle dollar be used for office ui over fid fetid expenses of any kind. It was tnat it would lake $100,000 which iideuuatelv handle the office in this work would be centered and to carrv on the general campaign, anil that this must be raised by voluntary subscription. Within 15 minutes over $63 000 had been pledged to this fund in amounts ranging from $2,600, in ,h “ “ "" W “ Newspapers, hanks and business then Wien in*their srenerauy generally vied v«?u one onx- with ••*«• the — oth their , « enthusiam to get names recorded for i the subscriptions _________ made.

Many remarkable reports of re¬ covery to health after taking Kar nak have been made since its in¬ troduction here, but the following from Mrs. Dora Turk, 437 Crew St., Atlanta, is without a doubt the greatest tribune yet paid this won¬ derful medicine. «< Money "has couldn't buy the declares good Kamak done me,” Mrs. Turk. “For 5 years I had the worst case of stomach trouble any¬ one ever had.

It was not necessary to carry on any special campaign to get the business people leaders, together. with A call was issued by a few a distinct statement of what it was intended for. Almost instantly it was taken up by 150 or more business men, who agreed promptly work. to And part in it and back up itn no ora* not in attendance at the meet inp could quite understand the thusiam which prevailed, the unani mity with which the action wa taken or the class of men represented. They were the great leaders, great in business, great lawyers, great city builders, with the Governor of the state at their head, making a speech which fairly teemed with the spirit oj upbuilding, calling upon these men to load Florida to higher heights of pros perity, Governor Martin full credit in gave in his speech to the recent editorials die Manufacturers Record urging tin industrial development of the state a nd an industrial survey, in order t,hat Florida might know exactly w hat it has and on what to base its. material advancement for the future. The state is no longer content to con eentrate its business activities upon great land operations and town butld lnK it recognizes that there must be . a broad foundation for permanent prosperity, and this Florida has de¬ termtned to have, The wide advertising to which rei <*reru:e has already been made has heretofore largely been due to heavy advertising by cities which raised their advertising fund by public tax at jon. This has proved so successful that it has inspired the business peo () ] ( , 0 f Florida to have the state do st j]] broader advertising by public taxation. The theory of this.payment | } y taxation is that, as advertising benefits every bit of property amt eV ery business interest in the com¬ mU mty which spends should its money hear its in , h ; s way, all property proportionate cost tor this publicity, That > K K Ioumi " n whl ^ h the ap peal is to be made to the legislature fol . a $200,000 advertising fund, The value of this was striking y s bown in an address ol r . G. hewuti, president of the Miami Ghamoer ol Tommerce and chairman ot the Com¬ mittee on state publicity, using Miami in course of his address, as an example he said: in “Our experience in advertising Miami should prove the value of prop er advertising to the most skeptical, (j,, to 1914 we tried to do things in Miami by talking, and we were mak inK a miserable failure. We did less business in 1914 than in 19UL **e were slipping back.

Life was just a , hopeless , drag for me, and if I even I tried to sweep the room I would soon be gasping for breath and feel like 1 was going to smother. I lost weight continually and became so discouraged I had given up hope of ever seeing another well day. ** About two weeks ago my hus¬ band bought me a bottle of Kar nak. and you can just imagine how besides - myself with joy I was when, after taking a few doses, I began to feel better. Why, I ac¬ tually ate a real meal for the first time in five years, and it didn’t hurt me a bit. "Now, since taking two bottles, I feel entirely well. I have gained 30 pounds already and feel at least 20 years younger. My neighbors are all marveling at my recovery, and I will never stop praising Kar nak to my dying day. My husband feels just like I do about Kamak, and he wouldn’t let me stop taking it if it cost $15 a bottle.” Karnak is sold in Fort Valley exclusive i.v by the Anderson Drug to.; and by the leading druggists in every town. fill I ! ® @ !| 1 ■ i I iff w a° I I i W u 1.1 ! f Jt ■ /ii u .r. i f m ;!

We knew that a million farm homes were ready for electricity— that a million farmers realized the money-saving, time-saving value of electricity—that a million farm women had learned that electricity would lighten the bur¬ dens of farm life and bring new happiness and new opportunities to their families. A Price That Is Revolu¬ tionary We realized that a small reduc¬ tion in price would not be enough. It must be revolutionary—drastic. And wc wanted to be able to offet this plant on very easy terms—so that every farm home, whether owned or rented, could have the benefits that are so much appre¬ ciated on the 200,000 farms where Delco-Light is now in use. And New It's Ready Today the new Delco-Light is teady. It is more than we had hoped. Quantity production— I Delco-Light Company, Dayton, Ohio, Subsidiary of General Motors Corporation c-» E. T.

Cities that want to imitate this kind of growth will waste their ntoney in advertising if they do not have the same kind of spirit of thusiam for upbuilding, the same united action on the part of the peo¬ ple in co-operative work, in beautify ing streets and roads, and in making every town, and every city attractive to the visitor. And they must not ex pect instantaneous results. A long pull and a hard pull and a stady pull, year after year, will be the only way in which achievements worth while to the South can be accomplished, but these things can be. done if the spirit which animates the people of Florida, as shown in this convention, is caught by the people of other Southern states.
