SEEING FLORIDA IN SEVEN DAYS
(Continued from Last Week)
By MRS. LON DICKEY
Hotel Okeechobee, Okeechobee
City, Nightse August 31sf, . Where
there has béen a boom in a Florida
town you may expect-a good hotel,
but would you believe your eyes if
you saw a lovely three-story hotel of
Spanish architecture set in a desert
of saw grass and water?
We proceeded south from Bartow
through the loveliest rolling hills,
dotted:with-lakes-and virgin pine for
‘ests, with here-and there:-an:orange
grove, through.the: pretty towns of
Avon- Park, Sebring and Lake
Stearns. Near the latter we were
stopped for awhile for road construc
tion, and a nice little red-cheeked
country boy told us if we would
climb the hifl to our left we would
find a “tar” from which we could see
seventeen lakes. |
| “Mama, what is a ‘tar?’” Marcia
whispered. ‘ ;
“He means a tower, child,” I re
plied. The hill was too steep and
sandy, and we thought we ‘had to
make West Palm Beach by nightfall
to get a decent hotel. Anyway, from
where we were we could see two
large.lakes, and-the:sun like:a round.
ball: of ” fire - reflected +in : them: was:
| beautiful; with ;the surrounding:trees
reflected around the edges. |
We soon came to the end of the
road, at Lake Anne, where ended the
rolling hills and forests, and a splen
did road ( the cross country highway)
turned into the everglades toward the
east. I hesitate to say how fast we
went for awhile, I think the record
was sixty-seven miles in as many
minutes. For once I almost failed to
enjoy a beautiful sunset.
~ Cle Howell was driving, and I re
called his wonderful. record:.in ambu-:
lance driving in France, his citation,
signed by Marshal Petain. But those
folks were dead—or nearly so—and
we might be—if some little piece of
machinery slipped its moorings and,
mercy! what a place to die in, noth
ing but saw grass and water, a rosy
sunset and the distant horizon.
We approached a great bridge
where work was going on, and our
lightning conductor slowed down.
'Near the bridge. was:a: construetion
‘camp, the:water:nowshalf-way:up the;
first: story: of/ the-frame-sharks.. Cle
said he spent a night there once with
a cousin who is a civil engineer, and
if the Lord would help him to get out
he would never spend another night
in the Everglades! Already we could
hear the hum of mosquitoes mar
shaling their forces for a night at
tack. o
I argued that all the wild things in
the Everglades came out at night!
and “crept”over Connors Highway,]|
over which we had to pass, and that
we might stay in Okeechobee City—
that there must be a good hotel there.
Cle said he would be sorry for the
gump who would put his money in a
hotel in that place. '
But, here we are. We have en
joyed such a dinner as we might get
on Broadway, and are seated in a
softly-carpeted lobby reading by
rose-shaded lamps and listening to
‘Grand Opera selections on the Viec
trola, with many other guests, young
‘civil engineers, men, women and|
children, travelers like ourselves. On
the plate glass windows. outside the
mosquitoes are: lined up, looking:
hungrily in. There is a party around
the corner, and a lady has just passed
in a white satin evening gown, fight
ing mosquitoes. The young folks are
not investigating for once. We have
lovely rooms, with baths.
Noon, Cafe in Fort Lauderdale,
Sept. Ist. Having lunch, ' seeing
folks from home, many empty busi
ness houses here. Spent the night
‘here five years ago, and do not care
for the place, but it has the best
Chamber of Commerce I have ever
seen, and the results are seen in its
marvelous growth. Going over to
the Ocean Boulevard at Hollywood
and spend night at Miami Beach so
as to miss congested traffic on Dixie
Highway leading into Miami.
Night, Miami Beach. We have
lovely rooms with baths, windows
with bright awnings overlooking the
ocean, but for less than half what
we have had to pay other places. I
have been trying to find what is
wrong with them, but have found
nothing. Lovely Roney Plaza is just
back of us, closed for summer. The
young folks are in surf bathing with
the crowds around a casino. We
prefer to rest and let them investi
gate again.
The ride along the Ocean Boule
vard was indescribable, when the sun
shines the water is a lovely blue
green, so different from our coast
water, but the storm of a month ago
has left its trace, and the paved roads
are badly washed.
To begin with, we had to pay $3.00
to ride over Connors Highway to
West Palm Beach, but we saved
thirty-one miles which breaks about
even. A development by the side of
Lake Okeechobee was named “El
Mira Sol,” Spanish for the ‘Mirror
of the Sun,” and if the lake itself
had a different name I think it would
lend charm, for it is beautiful. Rid
ing along its eastern shores, its blue
‘waters and white beaches look like
the ocean. We passed through miles
of lovely lavender lilies in bloom, the
kind we nurse so carefully in small
vessels of water. We were.all “pep
less,” I suppose from the atmosphere
in the Everglades. Even Marcia was
dumb until an enormous green grass
hopper suddenly alighted on her lip,
and she tried to see if she couldn’t
out-jump him until we stopped the
car and coaxed him out. Then a
wasp stung her, and the Everglades
had forever lost:their.charm:for: her,
if they had had any. :
“There was a great deal of water
running over the highway, and flelds
of sugar eane were inundated. A
sugar mill was silent. We were told
that it had been determined that the
lake was so little above sea level that
drainage was almost impossible. We
passed dairy farms.where the cows
‘waded around’in the water, and not
a human. being was in sight. That
was~west of the city of Okee€hobee.
Along the eastern shore there were
ridges where the houses were dry,
but hot! All the little boyssad their
hair burned red on top, an&#he tops,
of little cypress trees were ted Just
like them. “High and Dry,” were
signs that became a pathetic joke, as
they were now nearly covered in wa
ter. I thought, why will.people try
to wrest a living out of such places
when we have soo. much fine, cheap
farm lands? A nursery at Canal
Point was submerged in water and
abandoned. yßes |
All the way from' West Palm Beach
Were: numerous- beautiful - and: artis
-tic: entrantes. to': deadk developments.
How-1 wished. that two -setscof those
lovely arches might be moved and
placed on‘each side of Fitzgerald!
They were monuments to dead hopes
where they were, and at home they
would lead people into a colony city
that lived and thrived. How much
money must have been lost in these
places which are scattered thickly
along the entire Dixie Highway from
Jacksonville to Miami, even below.
Morning, Miami Beach, September
2nd. I awoke to see the loveliest sun
rise I have ever seen! I .was again
reminded of Sidney Lanier and his
last immortal poem, ‘“Sunrise.”
“With inshore greens and manifold
mid-sea blues, - ;
Pearl-glint, shell-tint, ancientist per
fectest hues.”
A scientist said recently: ‘A lit
tle imagination cahn ‘people the clouds
with a vast horde of creatures never
seen on land or seéa,” and what inter
ested me Wwas a succession of heavy
grey clouds moving swiftly over the.
sunrise s colors,. a. beautiful lady. in,
‘Calonial. costume,; an:automobile fly
ing along with a little girl holding a
broad-brimmed hat, little animal
shapes, all rapidly changing into
things just as absurd. When I told
the other members of our party
about it at breakfast they said I
must have had' sémething queer to
drink. I told thefi 1 had seen little
boats creeping .oufsall night to the
three-mile limit, but they did not
‘bring me ‘anything. - -
We are leaving soon to see the
great new city of Coral Gables, hav
ing seen Miami and its beach late
yesterday. Marcia is dressed in her
coral-colored frock, for Coral Gables'
is very colorful. Cle says the best
he can do is a sky-blue shirt. As
everything is colorful they won’t be
noticed, perhaps.
Close of Day, Royal Park Inn,
Vero Beach. Homeward Bound.
Coral Gables was beautiful, we were
taken up into the tower of the Miami-.
Biltmore to see it all at once. It[
seemed so queer to build that mag
nificent structure in the edge of
the woods, but I guess it will pay
in winter, for it is really tropical this
far south. The entrances and
grounds throughout the entire city
are colorful, artistic and beautiful.
The Venetian pool is a work of art,
and we were sorry we could not take
a swim, but we miist hurry.
Miami appears to be one continu
ous city for miles this side, as such
little places as Ojus just melt into
each other. We dined along thel
roadside, and stopped to spend thei
night at Fort Pierce, but the mos—‘
quitoes swarmed about us so that we
became. frantic and drove away with
out accepting the hotel accommoda
tions offered us. We decided to ride
all night rather than endure them.
While they are bad here at Vero, the
hotel is lovely. A dear little Swiss
lady is in charge, and it is right in
the edge of the pine woods. Dining
room closed, and we have to go to
town for meals, right in the mosqui
toes. Bought first aid from the drug
store to off-set the bites, then, too,
the kind little Swiss lady gave us a
spray. for the rooms.
Vero has grown amazingly in the
last five years, and the residents an
nounce in a hopeful way that they
have only a few more weeks of the
mosquitoes. I would not live here
in summer if they gave me a home.
Noon, New Smyrna. In A Tea
Room. They delight in telling you
here that they are the oldest city in
the United States except one.
| The ride along Indian river some
’hundred miles or more was the morn
ing’s attractions. One has to expe
rience it to know its beauty and per
fection, and ride fast enough to out
wit mosquitoes, though there can be
no speeding with its curves and its
close proximity to the water.
Night, September 3rd. Green Cove
Springs. Just for,a change we left
the Dixie Highway at Hastings,
crossed over the St. John’s River to
Palatka, found them building a mag
nificent paved road, “The Black Bear
Trail from Massachusetts to Mia.mi,”l
and decided to spend tWe night at the
lovely hotel there, We do not go
through Jacksoville tomorrow, just
on the edge.
. We are just about. fed up on mew:
| towns where signs testify that “Sun-|
shine Spends the Winter Here,” andl,
I believe I like our Azaleas, Crepe‘
Myrtle, 'Dogwood, roses, and all of
our beautiful shrubs better than all
il have seen, and we are ‘“High and
Dry,” always.
But passing out of this far-famed
land, - I.will sy that I.would love to
have a pretty little roze or lavender
[house' such as I have seen so many
of instead of eur drad, unlovely
bhouses. ¢
“And, Mother, could we have red
hot biscuits en the lawn,” asked
Marcia in a sleepy voice after a
plunge in the lovely pool here on the
banks of the big St. Johns.
} ‘“What. do you mean;. child?” I
asked, puzzled.
“Oh, don’t" your kmowall’ of those
red flowers we saw?” t
~ “Oh, you mean red hibiscus?” I
asked. E '
- “I thought you called them hot
biscuits,”: she said, ‘and drifted off
into dreams.
" Tomorrow afternoon, with good
luck, we shall be at home. Good-bye,
kf.ir Florida. We hope to come again,
wheré sunshine ‘spends the wiater.

Here is a big thing to remember about Princess Ranges—the top rim [f§
and body are made of one piece of heavy, rust-proof copper-bearing iron. |
This one-piece feature is patented, and is the reason why Princess Ranges |
continue to bake quickly and evenly as long as they last. As the range |
gets old, there are no joints or cracks to widen out and let in cold air to cool i
.the oven and weaken the draft and require more fuel. {

" In the second pnmaryrace next Wednesday, uctooer 6th, Geer
giams will nominate Dr. L. G. Hardman for governor, because he
‘stands -for a:clean-cut buginess-administratien. He.is not 3 man
‘that jumps first on one, then on the other side of an issue. He
stands four-square on matters that are of vital interest to the tax
payers of Georgia.
He dees not favor an increase in taxes and believes that with a
business administration taxpayers will be saved hundreds of
thousands of dellars annually. He favors reorganization of every
department of the state on a safe, sound, conservative basis.
Duplication of ‘departments should be eliminated; unnecessary
help dispensed with and the affairs of Georgia conducted on a
high business plane the same as a private enterprise.
The Brown-Holder machine was partly smashed September Bth
and it will be completely put out of business on October 6th.
Holder will.be defeated the same as Brown was defeated. - Voters
are rallying to the Hardman standard for “he is the best man in
the race” and will make Georgia the best. governor in a decade.
A vote for Hardman is a vote for progress in Georgia. So let
us move forward by electing Hardman, S
