AFTER FLORIDA TRIP
“Like Eating Red Apple Pie” to
Skim Along Smooth Surfaced
Roads, He Says
J. M. Sims, who has just returned
from a trip through Florida on
which he was accompanied by Mrs.
Sims, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. F’eagle and
the ir little son, relates some inter
esting observations of the drive
along the way.
“We visited Lake City, Jackson
ville, Fort White, Gainesville, Win
ter Park and Orlando,” said Mr.
Sims, “besides stopping at smaller
towns along the route.
“Under paved roads conditions
the trip was one of unalloyed plea -
urc, or to put it gastronomieally, it
was like eating red apple pie, to
ekim along the smooth surface wiih
out a break or stop. At timer we at
tained an easy speed of GO miles an
hour while seeming to Ira- ■ 1 at mod
erate rate. When the other stretch
of roads were encountered, tho ■■
which were not paved, the tr..vd
was rtiieSrable, bogging in the mu i,
and getting into ruts other cars had
previously made.
“Lake county has a beautiful
chain of lakes, there being 1,400 '■
all encircling the county, dotted
about with handsome orange grove
pretty homes and villages between.
Winter Park and Orlando arc nl>c in
the orange country, these two towns
abutting each other, presenting a
scene of unusual beauty. In my opin
ion it is the prettiest and cleanest
city south of Washington. We were
informed that 32 millionaires own
winter homes in Orlando and Win
ter Park, and the estates about these
homes are beautiful beyond descrip
tion.
“With 22 lakes inside the city lim
its, some of them with paved walks
around them, and 'the glittering
white way at night casting a bril
liance over the entire scenery, it is
a sight fit for the gods.
“The cotton crops in North Flor
ida are a complete failure, in my
opinion,” said Mr. Sims, “with all
the cotton gathered and ginned be
fore the first This is
an unprecedented date for the com
pletion of ginning, and in talking
with one grower he told me that he
had made one bale on 30 acres.
Similar experiences were related by
other farmers, another telling me
that his crop would average one bale
to 18 acfes, while some fields I saw
looked as if they would do well to
produce one bale to 50 acres. The
outlook is not very encouraging,
but maybe in the long run it will all
work out for the good of all.”

It has never been known to fail.
60 cents out of every dollar
you spend for coal
goes up the chimney! f
Government experiments have proved $ \
that the ordinary under-draft stove wastes ■ 1
about 60 per cent of the heat value of the X-f, ,t ■
fuel, in soot, smoke and gases, which escape 7
UP'fiie chimney.
W/ilw
And it has been proved in thousands of
tomes that Cole’s Hot Blast Heater, by stop
ping this fuel waste, saves one-third to one- ~
feali in fuel
» Cole’s Original
; Hot Blast Heaters
Cole’s Hot Blast burns your fuel twice. First it
burns the soot, gases and smoke, by mixing them with
superheated air and driving them back upon the fire,
where they are completely consumed. Then it burns
the bed of clean coke which is left after the fuel gases
have been extracted.
There are other important advantages which mean
much to every woman. Cole’s Hot Blast Heater means
a cleaner home, because there is no spilling of coal and
ashes on the carpet. You pour the coal in at the ten
of the stove instead of throwing it in at the side. And
the ashes are removed without spilling. Only one-half
the ashes to remove.
You can sleep later every morning, too, because this
heater holds fire all night and there is no fire to build
in the morning. Just open the draft. This stove will
actually hold fire from Saturday night to Monday
morning.
This stove burns any fuel—hard or soft coal, coke
or wood—with the same saving, and the most steady,
even heat you ever saw.
Come in and see our special demonstrations and
displays of Cole’s Hot Blast Heaters this week. It will

Stresemann plans also to force
German exports to the limit, cor

The really encouraging ‘thing is
that his idea’s to make Germany

There’s so much prej’udice both

drinking under prohibition.
Foreign delegates at the Inter
national Anti-Alcohol Congress at
Copenhagen said it’s about one
third the pre-prohjbition volume,
but the damage far exceeds one
third, because of the poor stuff
drunk.
The congress held special meet

NEW GAGE ADOPTED BY
BUREAU OF STANDARDS
I .
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. A
simple gage has recently been de
veloped by the bureau of Standards
of the Department of Commerce
for determining the height to
which milk and cream bottles are
filled. The gage is aplied to the
outside of the bottle, and makes
it unnecessary to remove the cap
or disturb the contents. The
measurement can be very quickly
made, and the milk is not affect
ed by it as it would be if the cap
had to be removed.
This gage was used in an exten
sive investigation of the points to
which bottles are actually filled in
practice. Several thousand bottles
were measured, samples being tak
en at random from the ice boxes
of dairy men and grocers in several
of the larger cities of the United
States. The new gage permitted
the bottles to be tested in the
store and returned to the dealer,
thereby making it possible for the
bureau officials to make many
more measurements and at a low
er cost. It is thought that the gage
I will also be of great help to local
weights and measures officials in
| chocking up the filling of bottles
■ within their jurisdictions.
