FLORIDA CLIMATE BALMY
Miami, Fia., Jan., 1923.
My t.t ar Mr. Jones: Friday mom
ing, January 5, su Jacksonville, was
frosty and cold. Overcoat was kind.
After getting down to St. Augus
tine one feels the warm atmosphere.
The natural scenery must have been
ugly and savape, twirled vines,
palms bruised and broken like a
storm had passed over. The pine
tree small, like sapplings and yet
paying toll to commerce—but the

When you pick up & copy of your home
paper, do you give any thought how it was
produced, or the money that is spent to prist k
and deliver it at your home?
The newspaper of today, no matter if 25
cents a copy was charged, would be the cheap'
est thing you bought.
In the first place k represents an investment
in plant and equipment of many thousands
of dollars.
hs editor and staff work diligently day in and
day out to gather ail the news and present k to
you in readable fashion. It aims to keep you
informed oh alt the news dial's "fk for ink."
With the average paper, the price you pay
for subscription does not cover die cost of
WHITE PAPER..
Yes, the newspaper is the cheapest thing
you buy.
Think it over. Look k over. Then support
your home paper. It's the best investment you
can make, for k brings the largest returns.

everywhere—and they mean wealth
to many. 1 ventured to express my
view of the country- to a gentle
man who said: “have you ever been
this way before?” When I declared
my misfortune, he said: “I have a
grove here.” It was not dreary to
him —it was the Orange Belt—his
grove, gold as yellow* as the oranges.
It does depend upon the point of
view.
Travel is a comfort on wie Palm
Beach special. All day I sat in a
car, “Gondolier,” a luxury, but not
the equal of the Gondola’s in Ve
nice, but interesting to the travel
ers. People are fiora North and
West and East, they are going
South, to their winter homes. Some
for the first time. The girl in male
attire —she is unlike her sister be
cause she has no paint on her face.
Unlike her sister because she doesn’t
look like a girl. She looks smart
but not like the kind God made.
Women can’t wear breeches and
coat with the grace of a man, she
swaggers her extremities are not
modeled for the garment she has on.
She doesn’t look like a girl, she is
not a boy. What is she?
This is long enough, I shall have
to teU you about Miami another
time.

WELFARE OF NATION
> DEPENDS ON FARMERS
We are founded as a nation
of farmers, and in spite cl the
great grow.th of our industrial
life it still remains true that
our whole system rests upon,
the farm, that the welfare of
the whole community depends
upon the welfare of the farmer.
The strengthening of the coun

the whole nation. —Theodore
Roosevelt.
