BOND AMENDMENT IS DEFEATED BY A BIG VOTE 23,057 AGAINST BONDING.
Democrats Won Out In State With Few Exceptions

COX RAN LOW MAN
THE REGULAR TICKET AND STATE CANDIDATES WERE AHEAD OF HIM

The defeat of the constitutional amendment providing that the legislation be empowered to issue bonds for good roads has been defeated by a state majority of 23,057 votes against the proposition, according to the Tampa Times’ tabulation of the vote of the entire state, based on returns from 652 precincts out of 977, which allows of a fairly accurate compilation of the entire vote. The 652 precinct returns gave a total of 22,578 votes in favor of the amendment, and 35,855 against, or a majority of 13,277 votes against the amendment, giving an average of 23.6 “no” majority of each of the 977 precincts, or 23,057 for the entire state.
In many counties the vote was about two to one against the proposition, but in Escambia, the stronghold of advocates of passage of the bonding amendment, the measure received an affirmative vote of more than eight to one, with 3,300 for it, and only 400 against it. But the amendment was swamped by the overwhelming “no” majorities in such counties as Suwanee, which piled up 1,535 votes against the proposition with only 90 in favor of it; Seminole, with 1,452 against, and only 170 for the amendment; Sumter, 66 for and 793 against; Volusia, 342 for and 2,237 against, and the big mass of counties which piled up two to one votes against the measures.
The defeat of the road bond measures seemed a certainly as soon as the returns started coming in.
With the exception of a few communities in which Republican or independent candidates rolled up a surprising vote, enough to elect them, in a few instances, the state of Florida, stood steadfast for its Democratic principles by a decisive vote.
It was to be noted, however, that Gov. Cox ran far behind the ‘state --(Continued on page eight)

The governor are present will remain under the direction of the navy which has been in control of the Islands since their acquisition five years ago. It is possible that later all connections between the navy and the islands will be severed.

(By The Associated Press)

VIENNA, Nov. 6 –

The poor quality of the bread which the people have at present to eat is stated to be the cause of extraordinary increase of intestinal affections in the last weeks and over which the medical faculty here is very much concerned.
A peculiar feature of the epidemic is that it is accomplished by skin eruptions similar to those caused by pellagra.

The next congress shows an increased number of men holding union cards.” He said the non-partisan policy of the federation was more justified than ever.

Sanford An Up and Coming City
Splendid article appearing in the Wilmore (Ky.) Enterprise

In the heart of the truck growing district of Central Florida, the great garden around Sanford is said to be the most intensively cultivated area of any season of the state. Here one rides through miles of lettuce, celery, cabbage and, to a lesser extent, cauliflower, peas, etc. These are the winter crops. In spring come the tomatoes, egg plant and cucumber. It is a really beautiful sights, the great fields of healthy, growing green. Land cleared, irrigated and ready for cultivation, is valued at a thousand dollars an acre. Naturally, this requires, and is given, the intensive cultivation and rotation of market gardening. No weed is seen in these closely planted fields and every foot is utilized in growing crops. Thousands of car loads of vegetables are sent from Sanford to the northern market in the winter and spring. Of these, celery probably ranks at the top in quantity and value. Sanford has long borne the title of “celery

SANFORD HIGH WIN AND LOSES AT PARISH HOUSE.

In one of the most exciting and surprising games ever played at the Parish House, the S.H.S. girls decisively defeated the Eustis girls by the overwhelming score of 40 to 5, in the first game of the local basket ball season.
The S.H.S. “Midgets,” were out classed physically, both in weight and in height, but they outclassed their opponents in team work, speed and pep. From the very first they began with a rush and before the surprised Eustis girls came too, they were on the short end of the 12 to 0 score, with the first half just begun, but to cheer them up, the S.H.S. girls allowed them to score once, and then they began again, and when the first half was over the score stood 29 to 3 in favor of the S.H.S.
However, in the second half, the Eustis girls settled down and played just a little harder and faster, with the result that the S.H.S. only scored 11 points against 2 for Eustis, which made the final score 40 to 5 for the S.H.S.
The surprise of the evening was the brilliant playing of Maude Lake and Emma Spencer, the two star forwards, for S.H.S. who showed that age, and height, have a little to do when one wants to really play and be in the game. These two girls did the scoring for Sanford, and over half of the points are credited to Miss Lake, who scored 28 of the 40. Miss Spencer contributed toe other 12. Another star player was Sarah Easterby, who kept the ball on the right end of the court and always was in the right place and the right time. Time and time again she started plays which contributed to the scoring and much credit is due he for her work. Maude Caraway
and Sarah Wheeless were also very much in the game, especially miss caraway, who completely outclassed her opponents in every way.
As a whole, the S.H.S. team is going to prove to be a winner, if the results of last night’s game can be counted, and under the direction of Coach Oglivie, they are going to set the fans of Central Florida to do some thinking as to who are the champs.
The second game, played between the S.H.S. boys and the Eustis High School boys, ended in the defeat of the locals, by the score of 31 to 23.
The second game was one of the roughest and hardest fought games played in some time, and the chief reason of the defeat of the locals was the numerous fouls which were credited to them. They seemed to have the game for themselves at the

BASEBALL AND COSTUME BALL ARMISTICE DAY PROGRAM

Owing to unforeseen circumstances, it will be impossible to stage the game between the Baptist and Methodist girls, but the Legionnaries have advertised a baseball game at 4:30 p.m. and they are not going to disappoint the public by cutting out that part of the program.
A real game is being arranged between the Army and Navy, and with such efficient management as C. F. Chapman for the Army and Frank Roper for the Navy, the local fans are promised a fine exhibition of the National Pastime. The batteries and line-up of the respective teams will be called at 4:00 p.m. at the Holden Park, the small sum of two bits entitling you to witness a real 7-inning battle.


Band Concert at Night
The Kissimmee band will appear in concert, two hours previous to the Costume Ball, playing from 7:00 till 9:00. It has been decided to hold the concert on the Court House steps, since the vacant lots about the building offer the best place in town for the crowd to congregate.


Legionnaires to Pay Homage to Soldier Dead.
Amidst the festivities of the day, we must not forget the true patriots of this county who rest “at the feet of the Rainbow.”
A flag-draped float, bearing a wreath and under military escort will appear in the parade and the line of march of the column will be so arranged that the dispersing point will be near the monument to our soldier dead on Park avenue. It is requested that everyone remain quiet, while captain herring pays tribute in the name of the legion to the honored dead.in hearing dead.


Signing Of Armistice to be Celebrated
The “zero hour” of the day will fall at precisely 11:10 a.m., at which time it is requested that everyone within hearing distance of the shop whistles uncover and remain at attention in honor of such an historic event.

SPANISH BOY SCOUTS ENCOURAGE EDUCATION
(By The Associated Press)

MADRID, Nov. 6 –
Former Boy Scouts in Spain have decided to inaguarate a campaign throughout the county to combat the prevalent illiteracy. The resolution founding a society just formed for that purpose says: “We consider the existence in Spain of 60 per cent of the population who can neither read nor write constitutes a veritable scandal for the nation. After carefully analyzing the problem, we have reached the conclusion that a modicum of goodwill on the part of the governing classes would be sufficient to solve it.”
The society resolved to form free classes in every big city where boys will be given instruction in the elements of reading, writing and arithmetic. Later similar classes are to be started for adults of both sexes. The teachers will be chosen from volunteers among educated people and the society hopes to enlist the services also of professional teachers from the national schools to give instruction on the evening.

Niles Welch as David Raines submit to some very rough usage in James Oliver Curwood’s famous story, “The Courage Of Marge O’Doone.” Every member of the cast went out for realism and many of them got more than they expected. Niles Welch in a combat with Jack Curtis as Brokaw, received some severe blows and was not slow in giving a few in return; but according to the script Niles Welch receives more than his share of rough usage when he proceeds of wash up. He is in the hands of bad men. At the Star Theatre to day and tomorrow (Saturday).

Next big day is Armistice day.
--
And after that comes Thanksgiving Day.
--
And then Christmas and New Years and then March Fourth.
--
But this reminds us that holiday season is at hand and the stores are getting ready for the biggest business of their lives.
--
We have not been able to get cheap newsprint paper under a Democratic administration and maybe with a newspaper man for president we will be able to get the price down low enough to operate a newspaper with a small percentage of profit.
--
And with cheaper paper and cheaper materials of all kinds we can give the people of Seminole county a twelve page daily paper that will be second to none in the state. And in the making of a real daily the progressive men of Sanford will do their share.

--
We predict that cooler weather will give Sanford the best lettuce crop in many years and with good prices this city should put on a holiday boom that will outclass any holiday period in our existence. Let us all get together and give the old town a big push now that election is over and we can all get together for this purpose. Let all the merchants start a big advertising campaign and put on sales that will bring people here for miles around. Sanford is the natural trading center for South Central Florida and it is up to all of us to get busy and let the people know about our city.

Twas ever thus

The foreign papers, English and French, favor Harding according to press dispatches. ‘Twas ever thus. President Wilson going over to help the foreign countries gets the blame for trying to foist his opinions on them and now that the Democratic party – the sponsors of the League of Nations – is defeated, the foreigners who we tried to help are against the league and all that follow it. Perhaps the League was wrong after all if that is the way France and England feel about it and we should stay on our own little celery patch and let them fight it out. Anyhow we will never go to war again regardless of who calls – and we have all made top our minds on that score.

PICAYUNISH POLICY

It is sure and certain that many a business man in the south who was a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat voted the Republican ticket because he had become good and tired of the picayune spirit of the Democratic party in collecting the little taxes here and there on every article that was ever manufactured or ever thought of being manufactured. When this tax was placed as a additional burden on the people on account of the war nothing much was thought about it but when it was continued long after the war and is still being levied and the spirit in which it is being collected made the business man and the buyer sore clear through. Just why this tax is levied on articles that are a necessary is more than the average man can understand and we never will understand it. Right now a man comes along and grabs up a merchant on something that the merchant has never heard about and sticks him for a tax that is entirely foreign to him. And then every time you buy a cold drink, or a pair of stockings or a pair of shoes over a certain price you get a bill for the war tax until we are sick and tired and sore about the war tax and if the Republican party will eliminate this war tax when they go into office it will make Republicans out of many people even in the ‘solid South.’ It is such picayunish pickings that changes people from loyal patriotic citizens to Bolsheviks. Utellum.

Auto Camp Sites

This city has been contemplating two auto camp sites for some time. The one on Sanford Heights is only a temporary affair and has already been condemned by the inhabitants as being unsanitary and too close to the residence section of the city. The city commissioners and the Board of Trade should get together on some proposition and make a regular city camp somewhere within a mile or two of the city where the campers would not bother anyone and where they would have real sanitary conditions. Other cities are having their troubles over camp sites as the following from the Orlando Sentinel would indicate:
At the Board of Trade meeting yesterday j. Adrian Epping forcefully advanced many sound reasons why Orlando should have a high class, permanent camping grounds for tourists, and Secretary Cox equally produced as many reasons why Orlando should abandon the make-believe camping grounds on the east shore of Lake Ivanhoe. Mr Epping cited many instances of money left in Orlando by campers, of genuine investments which those campers, have made and estimated that Orlando merchants would receive a 200 per cent benefit and additional business from every dollar they spend in equipping a suitable place for the campers and motoring parties.
Other cities in Florida are awakening to the fact that camping grounds pay, and pay big returns. These cities are going ahead with the grounds and giving the campers sanitary environments and adequate quarters where they may live and enjoy to the fullest the mild Florida winters. Ultimately a large per cent of these campers become investors, many of them are well-to-do people, who prefer to motor and pitch their tents on Mother Earth. This problem has been agitated long enough. If Orlando is going to take care of the campers, do it and do it right, or quit. Why start something, talk about it, and then pursue a do nothing policy? Transients cannot be accommodated in Florida this year. That is a certainty.
Therefore resort must be made to take care of as many people as possible by giving them camping grounds. Contemplate the manner in which St. Petersburg has handled the situation. Support of a camping site will mean larger, additional revenue for the grocers, real estate men, automobile dealers, dry goods houses and other lines of business. The question is in the hands of the Board of Trade committee which has been requested to procure full details, financial pledges, and then place the matter before the Board before final contracts are awarded.

J P says:
“Those who have accumulated means and have cultivated the habit of investing and developed the art of discrimination between safe and speculative investments, know what a splendid offer the southern utilities company has made to its customers in presenting the 6 per cent cumulative prior prefered stock, and are rapidly taking advantage of it. There’s none better.

BOND AMENDMENT DEFEATED BADLY


With returns on the constitutional amendment to allow the legislature to issue bonds to 5 per cent of the state’s assessed valuation for the purpose of building a state system of highways, indications are that the amendment was defeated in Tuesday's election by one and a half or two votes to one.
Owing to the overshadowing interest in the national election figure, it has been difficult to get returns on the bonding amendment, and the vote is canvassed by the state board.
A tabulation of returns received by the Tampa Tribune up to last night from thirty-five out of fifty-four counties, with only four counties complete, gave 13,354 in favor of the amendment and 21,625 against.
In Hillsborough county (incomplete) the vote was 938 for, 2,191 against.
A majority of the counties heard from, in all sections of the state, have given a majority against the amendment. Escambia county exposed the amendment to the greatest degree, and other counties which carried for it are Hernando, Duval, Lee, St. johns and Dade, Hillsborough has voted perhaps four to one against, while Polk seems to have given ten to one or better against. Pinellas, Suwanee, Lake, Madison, Putnam, Alachua and Marion are among the many counties giving decisive majorities against the amendment.

WEATHER AND CROP CONDITIONS IN FLORIDA

Temperature: the temperature was generally moderate during the week, being below the seasonal during the latter part, especially on the 29-30th, when light frost formed over the extreme north and west.
Precipitation: Rain is needed over most of the peninsula east of the Suwanee river, except that moderate showers fell in some localities. As a rule, however, the week was exceptionally dry in most of the central and southern divisions. And the month, in much of the state, was one of the driest of record for October. The total rainfall at Jacksonville for the month was 0.11 of an inch – surpassing in 1874 and 1909, when 0.10 and 0.08 inch, respectively, were recorded.
Condition of crops: moderate rains west of the Suwanee river and in counties adjacent to that line, and locally in the peninsula to the south improved the condition of the soil, and the seeding of oats and rye made some progress, but work is backward over most of the section. The dry weather was favorable for the harvesting of cane, which is being done to a considerable extent; much is being made into syrup. Truck is backward, except on low lands. Celery is doing well in Manatee county. The cool weather benefited citrus fruits; shipments are active.

According to a statement made by Colonel Cedric Fauntleroy, of McGee, Arkansas, founder and commander of the famous Fosclusko squadron, the unit of United States aviators who helped Poland in the war, who has just arrived in New York from Europe, Captain Merion C. Cooper of Jacksonville, is a prisoner of war in Russia. Early reports gave it out that Captain Cooper has been killed in a fight over the Russian lines but later word from several seemingly authentic sources, was to the effect that his plane had been shot down, that he had escaped injury and had been taken prisoner.

NEW CROP OF ADVERTOURISTS HERE AND WARNING SOUNDED

The Jacksonville Times-Union says: During the last few days, according to members of the merchants protective committee of the Chamber of Commerce, a number of ”advertourists” have come into the city and are endeavoring to foist questionable advertising schemes upon the public. Several of these workers have been detected in their operations which have been curbed. Others are said to be working regardless of the fact that their propositions have not the unction of the local censorship body which has as its object the protection of merchants and others from worthless scheme advertising.
Major H. L. Covington, Jr. chairman of this committee, is requesting all business men who are solicited to purchase space or advertising in mediums of unknown merit, to reduce to do so until the propositions are properly submitted for examination.
This committee in seasons past has saved thousands of dollars for local people by curbing the activities of solicitors for worthless schemes and it expects this season to greatly amplify its efforts.
Now is the time when the “advertourists” begin their annual pilgrimage to Florida and the state is literally flooded, and will be for several months, with schemes of every kind designed to pay the expenses of members of the “floaters” class during the winter. All proposals brought before the committee are carefully considered and those of merit receive the “body’s official sanction. The other are not approved and every effort is made to prevent worthless schemes being offered the advertising purchasing public.

GENEVA NEGRO IS ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD

Sam Whitney was born Dec. 11, 1820, at the old Stevens place in Johnson county, N. Car., near the old Mitchell depot.
When 8 years of age his mother took him to the old Holder place, where he stayed until he was 12 years old.
At this time, Mr. Holder gave him to Mr. Everett Whitney, who used him some time as a nurse boy. He stayed for years with Mr. Whitney. When a grown man Mr. Whitney loaned him a horse, bridle and saddle and let him go to see his mother whom he had not seen for years. He tied his horse at the yard gate, and on going in, was attacked by a bull dog. Luckily he was saved from injury by the dog getting his shoe in his mouth.
Old Auntie ran out and with help got the dog away and asked, “Who are you.” Sam replied, “Don’t you know me? I used to belong here. I am Nancy’s boy.” Nancy was called but at first did not know her own boy. Sam soon proved himself, and then there was a time of weeping for joy. After a visit of three days he returned to the Whitney home, where later he married and remained until the war times.
After the war he went back and stayed with his parents till his father died. He then bought his mother a good home at Selma, N. C. and then left on his preaching trips.
At the time of his father’s death he asked God to let him live to be 100 years old.
Sam has traveled about preaching in Alabama and Georgia for nearly 50 years and came to Florida about 13 years ago, and homesteaded at Kolokee, Seminole county, Fla.
He has been celebrating his birthdays each year for a number of years and is making plans this year for a big time the 11th of December when he will be 100 years of age. He is asking his friends both white and colored to come to his home with well filled baskets, for a picnic reunion.

BRYAN SAYS PUT SENATOR HARDING IN RIGHT WAY.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5 –
William Jennings in Chicago yesterday gave out a statement suggesting that President Wilson should resign at once.
“Now that the American people have decisively declared against the league of nations as written by the president, “ said Mr. Bryan, “it would seem desirable to carry out the verdict immediately. This can be easily done.
“The president should resign at once and turn over his office to Mr. Marshall on the condition that on the convening of congress in December. Mr. Marshall appoint Senator Harding secretary of state and himself resign. The law then would make Mr. Harding president and with the Republican support in congress he could at once put into operation the plan for the United States to enter into an association of nations for peace.”

GRAFT INVESTIGATION IN ARGENTINA

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 6 –

Argentina has been having a graft investigation as a result of which it has been found that 5,500,000 pesos have been “unduly” disbursed by former government officials who directed payments to contractors for building the capitol here. The present government has announced its intention of bringing suits to recover the money improperly paid.
The building, a magnificent structure of classic architecture, marble facings and broad sweeps of marble steps, not unlike the capitol at Washington, is jestingly called in the newspapers “El Palacio do Oro,” Spanish for “The Palace of Gold.” It was begun in 1897 and was originally to have cost 10,000,000 pesos. It is not yet entirely finished and has cost 27,000,000.
Recently a committee of the National Accountancy Department completed an investigation of the expenditure of the monies paid for construction of the building and reported that 5,500,000 pesos had been “unduly” disbursed.
Buenos Aires newspapers told years ago of wagon loads of building material that went in the front door of the structure, soon after came out the back door and then disappeared. Charges were made that marble was paid for but concrete was used for part of the construction, and other accusations of graft were aired. It was then that the newspapers began to call it “the Palace of Gold.”

SPECULATION AS TO FLORIDA APPOINTMENTS UNDER NEW RULE

Republicans of the State Will Come in For Some Fat Jobs to Be Handed Out

When it was freely predicted that the Republicans would win in the national election weeks ago speculation began as to how patronage would be distributed in Florida, as well as other states, there being several fat federal offices to be apportioned among those who preserve their party loyalty in the hope that some day they will receive one of the plums that drop.
George Beean, of Tampa, will split the pie this time without the interference of Joe Lee, deceased. Mr. Bean is national committeeman from Florida, and has been chairman of the national campaign bureau of Republican activities among traveling men. If Mr. Bean isn’t given a job in Washington, or in some federal department, he will, undoubtedly succeed J. F. C. Griggs as collector of customs. The position pays $6,000 per year with traveling expenses liberally allowed.
Judge John M. Cheney, of Orlando, would come in for a fat appointment of he wants it, but probably will not accept one. The next man in republican ranks entitled to appointment is George Gay of Palatka and the office which is next to that of collector of customs is collector of internal revenue. Mr. Gay will, in all probability, be given this appointment if he wishes it. – Palatka News.

SIX KINDS OF SAFETY

Have you every paused to consider the safety of the bank where you deposit your money?
The first consideration is the capital, which should be ample to meet the requirements of the community the bank is to serve.
The next question to consider is the officers in charge. They should be men of experience, high character and successful. Without men of ability no institution can succeed.
Then there is the question of confidence. The public should have confidence in the officers and in the bank.
These three principles determine the success of a bank.
We adopted these principles in the outset of our career and we expect to live up to this high standard and increase our usefulness to the community as the years go by.

We Offer You:

1st: Large capital and working reserve.
2nd: Trained men in charge – Men of several years experience.
3rd: The confidence of the public, which is proven by the daily addition to our line of depositors.
4th: Protection by two examinations each year by the state banking department. Two audits each year by an independent recognized public audit company and two sworn statements submitted to the state comptroller by the cashier, giving the bank’s condition in detail. All of which insures regular, systematic and thorough operation of the bank.
5th: The advice of a competent board of directors, who meet who meet with the officers regularly each month and advise them as to the operation of the bank.
6th: Insurance of all deposits every day of the year. This is a protection not commonly found in banks and is an absolute protection for your funds, in addition to all the other usual safeguards.

These are reasons why you should do business with us, and we believe that no bank can offer better inducements.

PEOPLES BANK OF SANFORD. We want your business.

COUNTY WILL PUT ON MOTOR COP

On account of the speed fiends using the country roads for showing how fast they can run, the county commissioners have decided to put on a motor cop who will look after these speed demons and arrest them when caught exceeding the speed limits. Celery avenue is a favorite speed center for these fast drivers and Celery avenue being filled with vehicles of all kinds and people using it for a speedway. There are other roads where they hit them up and in a few days there will be some sadder but wiser boys when they are pulled up and fined. The county will co-operate with the city in respect to the motor cop and thereby save something for city and county and also break up this habit.

LONDON WOMEN NOW SMOKE PIPES

LONDON. Nov. 6 –
Pipe smoking seems to be on the increase among London women and fashionable cigar stores display dainty small briars, some set with precious stones. It is said there is a growing demand for these.
At one West London theatre where smoking is permitted, two smartly dressed women were seen the other evening in a box puffing at their jeweled pipes, and soon an old Irish women in the gallery followed suit. Her’s was a clay “cutty.”
In a first class railroad car between Horsham and London, a quarrel arose the other day between a number of non-smoking women and other woman who refused to put out her cigarette at her sister traveler’s beheat. It ended in one of the anti-smokers seizing the offending cigarette, gold mounted tortoise shell holder and all, and flinging it out of the window.
“Two guineas coats will meet the case,” said the magistrate.

The logical treatment “ENERGIZER” for many human ills

There is such a thing as “ATERIAL AREA” and Arterial “Elasticity” in each person and after the body stops growing – at about 21 – there is a natural depreciation or loss in both area and elasticity, just as there is in an auto tire or a field that is not plowed and “cultivated.”
It is ‘Aterial Hardening” that finally causes death – preceeded by “High Blood Pressure” – and the only real way of this condition being put-off is by getting better circulation.
And the ONLY real way of improving Circulation is the “ENERGIZER” process, which furnishes “ACTIVITY” WITHOUT EXHAUSTION or work.
It is your opportunity. Give YOURSELF some care.

MORE CABLES NEEDED FOR FOREIGN TRADE

Lack Of Reliable Communications Handicaps Our Merchant Marine, Says Bank.
AMERICA NOW DEPENDS ON COMMERCIAL RIVALS
Must Extend Own System to Hold Present High Standing in Commercial World.

An adequate American system of cable communications with foreign countries must be developed if the United States is to maintain its present standing in international trade, according to the National Bank of Commerce in New York. American shippers are handicapped, the bank declared by being compelled to depend on a system largely owned and operated by this country’s commercial rivals, British interests alone controlling more than half the cables now is use.
“Until some effective international agreement for the neutralization of the world’s cable system has been reached, the pressing need of American commerce is the extension of American cable facilities,” the bank says. “Without such a system American foreign trade is faced with the difficulties inseparable from doing business over a system largely owned and managed by the commercial rivals of the United States.
“British interests own and operate more than half of the cable now in use. At the present time, too, Great Britain possesses a practical monopoly of cable manufacture, which is strengthened by British control pf the gutta percha market. Although far behind the British system to the point of mileage, the American owned cables are second in importance and connect all the American possessions as well as the Canal Zone and the naval base at Guantanamo, Cuba, with the continental United States, thus providing the nucleus of a comprehensive American system.
The present system of international communications, largely cable, while comprehensive and efficient, has been built primarily on the basis of connecting the commercial world with the old world centers of finance, commerce and industry. National interests and prestige, competitive enterprise and local influence have governed location, extensions and combination so that these facilities have not been in all cases arranged to be productive of the maximum efficiency or economy.

Must Become World Center.
The United States is connected with this world’s system, but as a contributing field to be reached and exploited and not primarily as a center. If the United States is to maintain the position which it has won in the trade of the world, it must become the focus of a world system of electrical inter-communication. It must become one of the most important centers of communication, perhaps the most important, as it has become in many respects the center of the world’s trade and finance. Without quick, reliable communication, independent of other national interests, the vast sums we have invested in our new merchant marine and our organizations for foreign commerce will never yield full value on the investment.
The entire cost of an American cable system which would give us direct communication with the principal commercial nations of Europe, South America and the Far East, would be a comparatively small sum compared which the cost of the newly built American merchant marine. It would give the commerce of the United States what it needs and what the commerce of the older countries already has. The spending of thousands of millions on means of transportation for American trade is a doubtful prospect as long as this country has no proper facilities for the agents who spread that trade and as long as the ships which carry it can communicate only with the consent of foreign nations or through foreign owned agencies.

Would Relieve Congestion
In certain regions present cable facilities are so congested that, apart for national considerations, new American cables would serve a pressing international need. The most acute need for additional cable facilities at the present time is in the Pacific ocean. While over the north Atlantic cables traffic has practically quadrupled since 1918, in the same period Pacific cable traffic has increased nearly nine fold. Proposals for the laying of a new Pacific cable have been considered tentatively. The cost of the new Pacific cable is a large sum of money, but the $40,000,000 which it is estimated Japan and the United States will expend upon each of their newest battle cruisers, would probably suffice to duplicate the entire existing plant.
The experience pf the last five years has conclusively demonstrated that the amount of business which is available for the cables is limited only by the physical capacity of the lines and the ability of the operating companies to keep rates at a point which will attract business.

FLORIDA PACK ON ORANGES THREATENED

BIG MEETING IN ORLANDO TO PROTEST AGAINST DECREE OF RAILROAD

An interesting, if not to say somewhat warm, meeting is scheduled to be held in Orlando at 10 a. m. next Wednesday morning when citrus growers from all over the state will rally to save the well known “bulge” pack for oranges and grapefruit, to which the railroads now make objection on the ground it is difficult to handle without damage.
One well known citrus man in commenting upon the call for the meeting said: “The breakage of packages of which control should be exercised by the railroads instead of the shippers, which complaint is made can readily be proven to be due to things over. It is ridiculous to attribute any good portion of it to the bulge pack; and railway traffic officials should be made to prove their statements.”
The meeting comes about through notice sent shippers by the American Railroad Association through James Menzies, freight traffic manager of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, as follows:
“A great deal of loss occurred in the handling of citrus fruits last season because of the ‘bulge pack.’ In many cases the ‘bulge’ forced the tops loose at the ends and the fruit spilled on the floor of the car. Apparently it will be necessary for us to prohibit the use of the ‘bulge pack’ altogether or else requires the strapping of the boxes at the ends. For the purpose of giving consideration to this question, a meeting is hereby called at Orlando, Wednesday, November 10, 1920, at 10 a. m. I trust that it will be convenient for you to be present.”
Concerning the meeting and the importance to growers of retaining the bulge pack, C. E. Stewart, Jr., business manager of the Florida Citrus Exchange, said;
“in order to compete with California the continuation of the ‘bulge pack’ on the Florida fruit is absolutely necessary; the trade want it, and in fact, demand it, and to discontinue it of Florida fruit will result in discounting the value of the Florida box and a consequent loss to the Florida growers.
It is reported the meeting at Orlando will be largely attended by growers and shippers from all over the citrus area of the state; and that they may be expected to show as united a front as did the growers and shippers who met in Tampa last year to successfully oppose the order of the Railroad Administration which required 432 boxes to be loaded to the car. On that occasion Exchange men and independents stood solidly together, and worked closely for the good of the industry. It is said, they are prepared to fight just as hard for the retention of the “bulge” pack; and growers everywhere are being urged to attend the meeting to lend strength of numbers to the effort.

NAVY BALLOON AND SPONSOR

BALLOON “U. S. NAVY” WHICH COMPETED IN THE INTERNATIONAL RACES

Trial flights for the spherical balloon “U. S. Navy,” which entered in the International Races held at Birmingham, Alabama, October 23, 1920, proved to the anti-faction of Lieutenant Raffe Emerson, U. S. Navy, its pilot that the Navy has an excellent opportunity of winning the balloon classic this year.
The balloon did everything expected of it during the test flights which were held September 4th at Akron, Ohio. Previous to the test flights the balloon was christened in regular Navy style by Mrs. L. H. Mangold, Chief Yeoman (F.) who served at the Navy Race in Akron during the world war.
There are many new and novel features incorporated in this balloon; of particular interest being the apron of fabric around the ship designed to keep rain from the crew in the basket. The apron serves as an umbrella and assures increased comfort to the crew during the flight.
The photographs show the balloon ready for a trial flight, and reading from left to right, Reserve Lieutenant R. A. D. Preston, Mrs. Mangold, and Lieutenant Raffe Emerson, standing at the base of the balloon.

Sanford An Up And Coming City

(Continued from page one)

City.” It is the pioneer and still the leader in Florida in the growing and marketing of this succulent grass.
In addition to its preeminence in market gardening for the nation, it is a large shipper of oranges and grapefruit. The city is surrounded by fine groves of both. It is a busy district from November until May.
The reason for Sanford’s preeminence as a center of truck growing is artesian water and the most perfect system of irrigation in the world, that it makes possible. Water from bored wells flows out over the top.
There is no pumping necessary. All it needs to be utilized is to be guiding and distributing is such that the fields are kept moist, and the roots fed in dry weather, by an ingenious system of underground tilling which also acts as a drain, in reasons of excessive rainfall, total off the surplus water and prevent the fields from being flooded. The regulation of moisture to the proper degree for growing plants is as nearly perfect as man can make it. Under the system neither drouth nor flood can damage the fields and the only uncertainty to the farmer is the price he will get for his crop after it is matured. Of course, a light sandy soil that both absorbs and drains water readily, is one of the essentials of this method of irrigation. A complete success here, it would be a failure in our heavy clay soils in Kentucky. Moreover, it requires, like all irrigation schemes, a nearly level surface with a slight incline for drainage. This condition is met here perfectly.
It costs from five to seven hundred dollars an acre to install this system but, once in, it is perpetual. It will not be surprising therefore to learn that a “farm” here averages about five acres; but the value taken from an acre will make a tobacco fiend appear like a piker as a revenue producer.
Sanford is a busy city of about 6,000 inhabitants. It is well built, with exceptionally fine paved streets and good business houses. Row after row of well constructed, attractive looking homes front her residence streets. While there are no exceptionally great houses, as one may see in some of the millionaire ‘winter homes on the East Coast, they rank much higher in the general comfort, cost and appearance of the homes in these resorts. There are no millionaires in Sanford and, by the same token there are no paupers. Wealth is very evenly divided and by the number and quality of the automobiles one sees on the streets, it would seem that the division is from a large aggregate. I have noticed fewer Fords here than any town in Florida I have been in – and I have been in a good many. Judging from the number one sees on the streets, I would hazard a guess that there are enough, owned in town, to give nearly every resident in it a ride if they all went out at the same time and crowded up a bit.
Speaking of automobiles naturally brings up the question of roads. When there are many machines one may look for good highways. In all my observation of Florida generally, in whatsoever part I go into, nothing has so impressed me as the wonderful improvement in her roads. Not longer than ten years ago, travel on them from one town to another was a hazardous and vexatious undertaking. Sand and slough and aimless wandering was their predominant characteristic. A fence rail and a jack were more needed than an extra tire. One reached his destination by the Grace of God and much tribulation. Forty miles was a long and hard day’s journey.
Today the state is gridded, lengthwise and crossways, with finely constructed and splendidly paved roads of brick, asphalt, concrete and shell. Hundreds of miles of these permanent roads have been built within the past five years. Other hundreds are under construction. In the more populous parts of the state one can go all day from town to town and district to district on roads that are a delight to travel over. Millions of dollars are being spent yearly on them. The evidence of this extensive and expensive construction is a revelation to old timers who knew Florida twenty-five years ago. It is a state growing rapidly in wealth and population and nowhere is the showing of this more impressive than in her splendid road system and the number of machines that travel over them.
Fifteen years ago I wrote a letter from Florida for publication and the burden of that letter was – sand. In it I said the first thing which struck the comer into the state, the one thing that abode with him constantly while there, and the last thinq to bid him goodbye o leaving was – sand.
It was his constant companion in his downsittings and his uprisings. It got into his food, his pocket, his shoes and his hair. At night, on retiring, he could shake about a quart from his clothes and out of his ears and eyes. A railroad train, going from Jacksonville to Miami, would drag about its own eight and bulk clear through the trip and leave it at its terminuous. It was only that the same train brought the same load back, on its return trip, that one end of Florida had not been hauled completely away and dumped at the other end. Traveling on this train, you couldn’t see from one end of the car to the other for the dust.
If one walked abroad he got nowhere for he slipped back in the dry floury, stuff about as far as he stopped forward. If he forsook the unstable highway and took to the wooded path alongside he got full of sand spurs, which stuck into him and made their presence known even more clamorously than the sand itself. He just couldn’t get away from it except, when he was in bed, and even there he was apt to carry enough to make him feel like a fish dipped in meal and ready to fry.
That was then. Now, while there is as much sand in Florida as there ever was, it has been curbed and restrained so that instead of being the pervasive element of life it is only an incident. The roads have been curbed and restrained so that instead of being the pervasive element of life it is only an incident.
The roads have been paved, as I have said, and the railroads ballasted with clean gravel, until they are no more dusty than the best types of our own ballasted railways. You can go all day with out stepping into it if you want to and you don’t shake more than a teaspoonful out of yourself at night. Instead of being an enemy it has become an ally, for it furnishes the firm foundation on which the excellent highways and railways rest.
People view it tolerantly and say it looks clean – which it does – but of course I prefer blue grass as a general covering for the earth. Nevertheless it makes Florida a wonderfully clean state and, now that you don’t have to buddy with it so closely, it adds to her attraction.

The Facts of the Telephone Situation in Florida
By J. Epps Brown, President
Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Co.

The Solution of the Problem

To furnish the telephone service which will be needed in the state of Florida during 1921, additional facilities must be constructed.
To build these facilities will cost $959,156.00.
The Company has no money with which to construct these facilities.
All new construction must be paid for out of the capital account of the Company; all of the Company’s present capital is invested in the plant and facilities now used by you.
This money can be had in only one way; it must be invested in the Company’s business.
This money can be had from only one source; from the investing public, people who have surplus money to invest.
Part of the investing public of this country live in Florida.
Will the investing public of Florida furnish this money?
Every dollar the public of Florida will invest in the Company will be used to construct plant facilities in the state of Florida for the use of the people of Florida.
Can you expect strangers to invest their money in a business located in Florida in which the people of Florida will not invest their money?
The facilities now used by you were paid for by money furnished by strangers. They know what they are earning in Florida while serving you just as you know.
Can you ask or expect then to furnish more money for your use in Florida under present conditions?
If the people of Florida will not supply the money needed to serve themselves they must induce strangers to furnish it.
This can be done by allowing the stranger to earn a fair and just profit upon his money now invested in Florida serving you, and upon all additional money required to furnish you service.
This can be done in but one way: by paying fair and just rates.
When the Company is legally authorized to charge a rate which will yield a fair and just profit over and above the cost of furnishing you service in the state of Florida, it can secure from strangers living in other states the money needed to furnish service to the state of Florida.
The Company must have this right before it can get the money.
The people of Florida must act first.
To have telephone service you must either invest your own money in the Company’s business, or permit the Company to earn such a profit upon its present and future investment as will induce strangers to invest their money in the state of Florida to serve you.

The next advertisement will tell you what profit the Company asks to earn.
