BACK FROM FLORIDA
iMr. Arp Gees From Bartow to tlie;
Land of Flowers
AND-THEN HE RETURNS HOME
Changes That Latitude Makes oh Vegetation,
Are Observed by the Phi
losopner.
I had a plersttnt call to Florida, an 1
have just returned. The radio u.s
make it so easy for you now that even
va veteran can travel if he h^s thi
money. I left home eve mo nirg a't ;r
early breakfast, and w?s in Jack o ville
that night to supper with my bv*
and his family, 415 miles in thirteen
hours, and traveled over parts of f >nr
roads. It was a daylight trip and I
had opportunity t") notice the changes
that ltitude makce in vegctnt n.
This new route to Florida is a stn,"
line from Atlanta^ and the west. It i-cludes
the Nasb,ville, Chattanooga a .1
St. Iuauis. the Wesaern and Atlantic,
the Central to Macon, the Georgia an I
Flo-ida Southern to Valdosta and the
Atlantic, Va-Hosta and Western o
Jacksonville, the preatie-t, cleanest
and best regulated city fa the south.
All of then} first-class roads, w fi
parlor cars and dining cars and sleepers
that run all the way through.
They don't even tarry at Jacksonville,
but keep on and on to the jumping off j
place, if you wish to go there. That {
new road between Jacksonville and ;
Valdsota has ..?made this spoed and j
comfort possfble. for it Ju s done away J
wirtv-fhe elbows* at Tift on and Way-j
cross. -.Tlif great-Piint system has no ;
elbow's after you .get on it, but it is a J
1 long ways from Atlanta and the west, i
"V. The new road was just what our peo- j
pie wanted- it-is first-clca- in all re- j.
* spccts. and make^-its 110 nrle; in le 3
than th^ee.hours. ! like the.se straight!
r Florida railroads;; tliey don't reel yju |
about like our Voads among the moun- ;
i tains, and they just glide along like a
snake in-th'e-gms;. rnese moumi u i
roads 6wip^ au old man around the j
curves and strain .'bis groin and loi::s
and 'diaphragm and epigram and
make bjnj i9Qr.e. and i?Uff for two or!
three days'dtter he gets lone. I c-n ;
hardly navigate now, and yet my w:?e"
wants me to plant so mo l&atuco errd '
beans and okra ard w irk among ti e j
ro6fs right away. Besides all thiff, tag 1
cook has qujt, pnd I have got to get.|
up by sui)i?e-and fre> up the . tove and |
put on the coffee and hominy an I I
' then call bar to get up and cook lie j
rest of the breakfast. I ustd ;o make j
the biscuits, hut I have struck on tha1; '
I don't believe that a man's rough old
horny hands were intended to nrx up j
flour and milk and lard in biscuit
dough. My old f.irrd Judg? Hi Iyer
and Judge ilndprwcod wore, orce walking
along a side street in New York
and as they paksei a bakery they saw j
the bakers through the blinds; and j
they were trebling uougniu iue ? |
troughs with the?ir feet, kludge Hillycr i
6aid: "Do you reckon thefr feet ar I
9 cleean?" "Wll. J'OSj" aajddTntlc: wood,
"I reckon they are by this time: they'
have been tre. ding a vgoo 1 wh'le.'-'
But I don't care a cent a' out the cock
quitting. ! believe- in s.lf-janain'.enan e
?I believe that every household should
be raFed to do their own wcrk when 'l
\ls necessary?an.d I mi proud lo siy
that my wife and my children have
? never hogged a ctok. to s;a.'v againsther
will, Hono s ?Te?e: isfyi'Vlei.. he* go
and rest If she wattto. ,vT*fe fact
It suits roe pretty well.-for the-cook r g
is better and the things aro' clean-r
and It saves money?we get?h oog' on
less victuals and can dine out with ouchildren
every day or two. We e n
use bakers' bread and make toast and
bake Irish potatoes and fry eggs ;:n 1
got along fine without a cook.

The men are. fairly good-looking, but
the women look .tired and prematurely
old. Northern women w<lll not com.
? pare with southern worn n for b au y
and refinement of- manner.-. I bav?
known this for fi'ty years; They ha.'?
to work t-oo hard; poor things. I am
sorry for them. They have got nothing
but money. I walked round t e
St. James and Windsor and never mw

any of those cold, ioy states won't

south as Philadelphia and Baltimore
' . . to find a ?beautlful woman,-and they
are scarce even there. You don't find
fj' them in plenty until, you get down to
jtV ' Charleston and Savannah. Down here
where I live they are nearly all goodlooking
and graceful and. as David
Harom said, are coupled -well and'

these meat-loving people will in time
become bigoted vegetarians.
Out of the 2,000 referred to above,
700 are Germans, 400 Russians, 350
Portuguese, and the rest English and
