AMERICAN LEGION BUSY AT ARMISTICE DAY PLANS GUARANTEE GREAT PROGRAM
Costume Ball at Court House Will Be Event of Season
PROGRAM FOR DAY
Will give everyone chance to enjoy themselves to the fullest
According to the latest “dope sheet” arranged by Ned Chittenden, Hawkins and Walter Connelly and j. D. Woodruff and through the assistance of the D. A. R. Patronesses, the Armistice Day Ball bids fair to be a glorious success.
The Dance Committee met with the executive staff of the D. A. R. last evening at which time plans for the decoration of the Ball room, the sale of tickets, and refreshments for the dance were discussed. The ladies, as usual, showed their willingness to assist Campbell-Lossing Post in any way possible towards making this ball the biggest affair of such a nature that Central Florida has over witnessed.
Since the affair has been designated as a Costume Ball, the question has arisen as to what could be called a costume, for many of those who wish to attend feel that it will be impossible to procure a costume in time for Thursday evening. However, we still maintain that this shall be a costume ball in every sense of the word “Costume” to the individual. If the gentleman choose to appear in their business suits but varying the every day monotony by sewing or painting polka-dot on their shirt __ (Continued on page six)

He said the final figures will show that the American people paid a handsome sum for the federal operation of railroads during the war but as operation as a war measure, should be considered necessary war expense.

SANFORD CHAMBER COMMERCE PLANS EXTENSIVE PROGRAM
Eventually Lake Monroe Will Be A Mecca For Motor Boat Enthusiasts.
The newly organized Sanford Chamber of Commerce has an extensive program before it for the coming year, which will keep a number of committees continually busy. Sanford’s reputation as the foremost celery producing section having been permanently established. It is now the intention of her civic body to exploit those innumerable other resources which she possesses, one of which, in particular, is Lake Monroe.
This magnificent body of water will one day be the mecca of motor boat enthusiasts and plans are sufficient advanced to warrant the statement that a magnificent two and one-half million dollar hotel will overlook the lake of which Sanford is justly proud. These plans included a yacht basin, in which can be sheltered hundreds of light draft pleasure craft. Upon completion of these plans it is obvious that Sanford is not destined to be, but will be the greatest city in the central part of the state.
The opportunity of securing manufacturing interests to locate in Sanford is enhanced by the fact that Sanford has both rail and water rates in effect, also making it the logical center of distribution for the Southern part of the state.
It will be the object of the commerce body to exploit these natural potentialities to the outside world, adding to her fame as the celery city that of tourist resort, and industrial and distributing center of central and Southern Florida.
The problem of housing tourists is alleviated somewhat this season by the comparatively new Valdez Hotel which is acknowledged to have the finest appointments of any hotel in this section of the state. It is a monument to the progressiveness of the business men of Sanford, who, realizing the acute shortage of hotel accommodations, successfully promoted and financed the whole proposition. That, in the final analysis, is the spirit that builds towns, and is the spirit permeating Sanford today – Orlando Reporter-Star.

Lettuce Moves Out First Today
GEORGE FOX SHIPPED ONE HUNDRED HAMPERS THIS MORNING
That good old Sanford lettuce is moving from this section and while the movement is light today it will be going strong by the last of the week when the many fine patches of lettuce get headed up by the cool weather that is coming. The weather has been very dry for the past week but the lettuce is standing up bravely and a little cold snap will head up the crop in fine shape and the growers feel that they get good prices despite the fact that other crops in the north have not been getting the money this fall.
The greatest thing about Florida winter stuff is that it comes into the markets that are usually bare of green stuff and Sanford lettuce should go through in fine shape and get on a good market provided the cold weather comes soon and heads up the lettuce in shape for carrying well to the farthest markets.
The first lettuce of the season goes out today begin 100 hampers shipped by George Fox of this city, and they get first prize for being the very first of the fall crop. Others will follow in a few days and the season will be on in earnest in another week or so always providing the weather is cool. The shipment of lettuce from this section means much not only to growers and shippers but to every business in the city for it means money that will be distributed here in large quantities.

HUNTING SEASON TO OPEN ON NOVEMBER 20TH
The hunting season opens November 20th and numerous parties are making preparations to be in the woods at the break o’ dawn of the first day. Game, it is believed, will be fairly plentiful this season, and no doubt many quail and some turkeys and deer will fall victims of the hunters’ guns.

Hunting license is required when hunting is done outside the voting precinct of the hunter. A resident county license costs $1, non-resident county license $3 and non-resident state license $15. To obtain either a resident county or non-resident license the applicant must have been a bona fide resident of the state for at least twelve months.
The law specifies a maximum bag for one day of one deer, two turkeys, twenty quail or seventy-five birds of any other species, and a maximum season bag of three deer, ten turkeys and not over three hundred birds.
Heavy penalties are provided for violation of any provisions of the law, such as hunting without license or exceeding the maximum bag-limit.
License are obtained from the county judge.

HOME SERVICE RED CROSS IMPORTANT
Few People Have Any Idea Of Large Scope Of This Work.
After the signing of the Armistice war work relative to the care and comfort of the soldiers in the trenches and on the battlefield practically ceased. But the Home Service section of the American Red Cross is still actively engaged in serving the soldiers who are now in camps, hospitals and vocational schools. Even those who have returned to civilian life have found an ever-ready friend in the Home Service Society who has rendered and is still rendering a valuable service in helping them secure bonuses, back travel pay, belated allotments, filing compensation claims and countless other services, even to writing hundreds of letters for those who are unable to write for themselves. Although the correspondence regarding allotments, compensation insurance, vocational training etc., decreases as the months go by the Home Service Society is still acting as a medium of communication between the soldier and the army and navy.
There are cases on file in the Home Service Office showing that many claims are yet to be settled.
Within the year that the home service society has seen actively engaged in this work there have been put on file over 160 cases. Most of the applicants are soldiers; the help extended them embraces a wide range of service from getting a belated allotment to help in securing remunerative employment. Out of a war time organization there has developed a well launched peace program, which if carried out in full would mean much for the betterment of the county. In addition to Home Service we would have a public health worker and child welfare activities.
After the roll call in 1919 the officers of the Seminole County Chapter, A. R. C. finding that the resulting finances were not sufficient to carry out the full program decided that the chapter had best confine its efforts to finishing up the war-work and co-operate with the churches, clubs, city and county in family relief work. Within the year that the Home Service Society has been engaged in this work there have been many cases out on file.
The work among these consists in assisting the poor and destitute over hard places, giving them a helping hand just at the time they need it most, thereby enabling them to overcome present difficulties and in time become self-supporting. Clothing and board was given an expectant mother who was forsaken by her husband at the time she needed him most. Other mothers have been given layettes and clothing for themselves. Another family in time of sickness and distress was given financial aid.
During the flu epidemic medical care and nurses were furnished several families who were unable to procure them.
Hospital treatment has been provided for two unfortunate patients.
A poor, deserving widow and her six children have, though the efforts of the Woman’s Club and the Home Service Society, been provided with much needed bedding, clothing and financial aid.
The Home Service has also been instrumental in procuring for a poor widow financial aid from distant relatives, who had heretofore done nothing for her. Although good service has been rendered and much good accomplished in a small way much more efficient service could be given if the Society had some means of transportation, as no visits can be made in the out-lying districts except through and kindness of friends, and although many have cheerfully responded with their cars, every thoughtful person will see the imposition this is on the friends and the draw-back such an arrangement is to the work. Let us hope that after the roll call the secretary will be provided with be provided with ample funds with which to carry on the work as it should be.

AUTO CAMP RULES TO GOVERN SANITATION MADE BY HEALTH BOARD
Danger Of Typhoid Fever And Other Diseases
MUST OBSERVE RULES
LAID DOWN BY STATE BOARD AND CITY OFFICIALS ARE HELD RESPONSIBLE
JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 9 –
Furthering the efforts of the State Board of Health to promote sanitary conditions in the numerous auto camps being established throughout the state, George w. Simons, head of the department of sanitary engineering has issued notices to all sanitary inspectors to keep a close watch on camps in their respective districts. Town marshals and chiefs of police have also been instructed to give this matter their attention and to demand that the rules and regulations of the health board be carried out to the letter.
Negligence in complying with these rules is punishable by fine. They are receiving as much publicity as possible that every tourist camper may become familiar with them. Every camp site will be posted with a set of rules and no effort will be spared for their rigid enforcement.
This act of the State Board of Health to safeguard its tourist public as well as the citizens of the state has won the favorable comment from all parts of the United States. It is believed that by enforcing proper sanitation in these camping grounds, located on the outskirts of Florida towns, many cases of typhoid and other diseases will be avoided and the possibility of an epidemic considerably lessened.
Camp rules are as follows:
Section 1 – All camp sites shall be dray and well drained.
Section 2 – An adequate supply of portable drinking water shall be provided on the camp grounds. Water from wells other than a public supply shall not be used until it has been approved by the State Board of Health.
Section 3 – Waste liquids and all slops shall be disposed of in a manner approved by the State Board of Health, so as not to create a nuisance and attract and breed flies.
Section 4 – Sewer connections, water supplied, properly flushed water closets shall be provided where sewer connections are possible.
Section 5 – Where sewer connections are not possible, sanitary fly proof privies approved by the State Board of Health or specified by the ordinance of the city wherein the camp is located shall be provided.
Section 6 – All garbage and refuse shall be stored in metal cans with light covers and shall be removed from the premises and disposed of daily.
Section 7 – Garbage and refuse shall be disposed of by incineration or burial.
Any camper violating any of these above sections shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction be fined no less than ten dollars (10). Each and every violation shall be consideration a separate offense punishable by fine.

FLORIDA AND TULANE BATTLED AT PLANT FIELD – TULANE WINS OUT
TAMPA, Nov. 8 –
After two hard fought quarters in which neither team could cross its rival’s goal line, Tulane's battling gridiron warriors tore into the Gators with a fury, in the last half, which brought the team to within one yard of the Florida goal line at the end of the third quarter and om the final session they pushed the ball across, kicked a goal, and rushed around the Gators ends for another touchdown and goal before the close of the play.
Early in the clash between the two elevens it appeared that the opposing teams were so evenly matched that a battle to the last ounce of energy and the trick of strategy was in prospect.
Frequent fumbles marred the early part of the game and once Florida was penalized for holding.
First quarter: Tulane kicked off, Florida fumbled and Tulane got the ball on Florida's 12-yard line. Florida held Tulane for downs, and the Gators made two first down, then fumbled twice, and one the last one on attempt to recover the ball going to Tulane, but the Florida line held like a stone wall. An exchange of punts followed, which netted Tulane 10 yards. The quarter ended with the ball in Florida's possession on Tulane’s eight-yard line, which the Gators had four yards to go on their third down. Score, Florida 0. Tulane, 0.
Second quarter: Carlton lost 15 yards on a delayed pass, and Florida tried for a field goal, but missed. Tulane punted to G. Anderson, who was dropped in his tracks on the 45-yard line. A pass to Carlton netted 25 yards , but the Gators could not gain through Tulane's line, lost the ball, and was penalized 15 yards for holding. Tulane made a first down. An exchange of punt followed, Florida punting to Whight, Tulane's speedy captain, who made a brilliant 60-yard run. Maloney substituting in Tulane's backfield celebrated his entrance into the game by an attempt at a field goal, but he fumbled. Recovering the ball, Maloney ran it back to Florida's 12-yard line, when the half ended, with the score still Florida 0, Tulane 0.
Florida kicked off on the first play. Tulane penalized for off side, Brown went around right end for 30 yards. A pass to Richeson gave ten more. Three plays and McGraw carried the ball to the one-yard line. Florida held for downs. The ball went over and the stands cheered. Anderson kicked out of bounds to the 20 yard line. Brown went around left end for ten yards. Tulane penalized 15 yards for holding. Florida was penalized 15 yards for holding. An exchange of punts followed. Florida was penalized 15 yards for holding. Two first downs and McGraw went through tickle for five yards. Two plays put the ball on Florida's one-yard line. End of the quarter.
An instant after the fourth quarter opened Dwyer went for the first touchdown and kicked goal.
Tulane kicked off to Florida's 20 yard line, Florida could not gain and Anderson punted 10 yards out of bounds. Brown went 30 yards around right end and Richeson scored touchdown and Dwyer kicked goal. Florida opened an offensive which with a pass and two off tackle plays put the ball on Tulane’s 20 yard line. An incomplete pass gave the ball to Tulane who punted out of danger. The game ended with the ball in midfield.

CITRUS FRUIT OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT PROSPECTS GOOD CROP AND PRICES.
(Continued from page one)
Was for 13,500,000 boxes, of which total, approximately 8,500,000 boxes are oranges and 5,000,000 boxes grapefruit. On October first the government report said that prospective production showed very little change from the month previous. Condition of oranges had dropped slightly, but was still very much above the average at that time, being 91 per cent normal compared wit 85 per cent a year ago. The grapefruit situation showed no change. Condition was 70 per cent of normal compared with 87 per cent a year ago.
The packer’s reports from the many shipping points over the state are most encouraging and show clearly that the orange crop is a good one, both in size and quality. In many sections of the state preparations have been made for the handling of crops 50 to 100 per cent larger than the last season. Increases in actual anticipated packs has been reported in amazing numbers. In oranges, the anticipated pack has been shown to be from 20 per cent to 100 per cent larger than that of last season, while the grapefruit reports show that the crop is short from 5 to 20 per cent and in many cases the anticipated output is placed at the same as that of last year.
Last year’s fruit generally ran to small sizes. The fruit this year is showing up normal in most cases. It is not within the province of The Packer man to overestimate yields – it is merely a case of disposing of facts as they come from growers themselves at the many shipping points over the state, hence it should be said that according to these reports the 13,500,000 box estimate is very conservative, with a strong probability of the yield going considerably of the yield going considerably over that amount – possibly 1,000,000 boxes. In any event the crop is good.
Growers are now deeply concerned about the expenses in picking, packing loading and freight. Wage scales vary somewhat over the state, but the average scale perhaps is about as follows:
Spot picking of grapefruit 8c; clean picking 4c; for seeding oranges 12@20c; for budded, 6@10c; tangerines, 12@20c; for packing oranges, 7c; grapefruit 4c, box making 2c.
Graders will receive not to exceed $5 a day, while nailers, loaders, generally classified as floor help, 25@30c an hour. Boxes f. o. b. factory this year are costing the growers 35c and up, compared with 28c last year.
Freight rates have advanced and are making it double hard for the grower. Express rates are simply prohibitive so the grower has nothing to worry about there. It costs for example, $2.50 express to send a box of oranges from Miami to Charlotte, N. C. this is more by about 50 per cent than the grower is netting for growing his fruit.
Practically all packing houses are now in full swing. What is now most needed of all is cold weather, as near the freezing point as the thermometer can go without crossing the danger line. A temperature of 35 to 40 degrees would place, in a few weeks time, several million boxed of market. The weather early this week was much colder and hopes are entertained that it will grow colder yet, and remain so for a few weeks at least.

YOUTH OF SOUTH SET EXAMPLE IN RED CROSS WORK
With Opening of Schools, Thousands Join Junior Organization
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. –
If the men and women of the south show one-half the enthusiasm in the Fourth Red Cross Roll Call that children of the south are displaying in renewing their allegiance to the Junior Red Cross, the southern division will show a record number of Red Cross members when the Roll Call ends.
Truly, children are learning the way for the grownups in joining the Red Cross, according to figures given out today at Red Cross division headquarters in Atlanta.
Reorganization of the Junior Red Cross was begun when schools opened this fall. Now, although but little more than a month has passed, more than twenty thousand children in the southern division have renewed their membership in the Red Cross, and before Christmas, it is expected triple that number will have enrolled.
The Junior Red Cross, while auxiliary to the American Red Cross, is a separate and distinct organization, with its own program of service. It is organized through the schools, where it is one of the most popular and highly regarded of student activities. The Juniors have their own “roll calls”. The time varying with the different schools.
Many juniors had their “roll calls” when school first opened this year. That the children are more enthusiastic than over in Red Cross work is demonstrated by the fact that, while less than 3,000 had joined the Red Cross by November 1, 1919, more than 20,000 have joined already this year.
Last year the Junior Red Cross in the southern division had a total membership of 162,807. Judging by the way in which children are enrolling this year, the 1920-21 membership will go well beyond 200,000.
The purpose of the Junior Red Cross and its activities could not be better explained than by James n. Rule, national director of the Junior Red Cross. He says:
“The Junior Red Cross is the childhood of America mobilized through the schools – public, parochial and private – for the purpose of inculcating ideals and habits of service among children the world over, with the idea that the men and women of tomorrow will, as a result of this childhood practice, think in terms of service to others; for the purpose not nearly of training in citizenship for the future, but of making unselfish, useful young citizens today; for the purpose of instilling respect and obedience to the law of the land, and for the purpose of transmitting America to succeeding generations cleaner, healthier and happier than it was found.
“the requirement for membership is soley one of service. There is no individual membership fee. The usefulness of a Junior Red Cross auxillary in alleviating want and suffering among children at home and abroad depends on the initiative and enterprise of the classroom group and the teacher, the latter being the auxiliary leader.
“Everything done is by co-operative effort of teacher and class, whether it be in raising money by some entertainment or industry; the making of garments, furniture, toys, scrapbooks, or in a community betterment activity. ‘Training in Citizenship Through Service’ and ‘happy Childhood the World Over’ are slogans of the Junior Red Cross which broadly characterize its mission.
“Formed in 1917 to help win the war, the Junior Red Cross, with a membership of 10,000,000, produced in twenty months $15,000,000 worth of useful articles for American soldiers, sailors, marines and war – stricken people of other lands. But in this service the childhood of America was only awakened to a conscientiousness of its power for good, with the result that Armistice Day, 1918, sounded to this unprecedented childhood’s organization as a clarion call to ‘carry on’.
“since then the Junior Red Cross has grown to approximately 1,000,000 members; has raised considerably more than a million dollars in money; has produced countless articles of practical use for destitute families at home and abroad, these articles including layettes, clothing, toys, tables and chairs, and has distributed free milk and other food in various forms.
Essentially a school organization, the Junior Red Cross operates along educational lines, its relief projects being introductions for the promotion of goodwill, good citizenship and altruism.
“Forty per cent of the auxillary funds raised by group co-operation is devoted to purely local relief among needy children. Sixty per cent is forwarded to National Headquarters in Washington, where it is administered without overhead expense.
“This is being used for orphanages, schools, garden and health and playground activities in Albania, Montenegro, Belgium, Czecho-Slovakia, France, Greece, Italy, Palestine, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Siberia, China and the Virgin islands. Fully 400,000 of the 12,000,00 members of the Junior Red Cross are to Porto Rico, panama, Alaska, Hawaii, the Phillippine islands and in China”.

Americanization And The Public Schools
From an Address by Mrs. W. F. Blackman at Lakeland.
A recent address of Mrs. W. F. Blackman on Americanization and the American Schools” before the Lakeland Woman’s Club was so good that we reproduce a part of it here:
Americanization is a word of wonderful stimulus. It can be claimed by no class, no sect, no party.
Many of our industries are carried on almost entirely by immigrants who have come in immense numbers from southern and eastern Europe. Pioneers and immigrants of sixty or more years ago built, gave form to, and made strong the institutions of our republic.
They were of another very different stock, that of northern and western Europe, and their descendants are today the leaders of thought and progress in the nation. Upon their descendants is laid a great burden and a great opportunity, the rescue of the county from the menace of Bolshevism, a danger that threatens our civilization. A French writer has said that the American conception of life is far superior to that of any other nation, especially evident in the desire of the fortunate that all may likewise benefit.
Of all our institutions, the public school is the one best fitted to perform the work of Americanizing both Americans and foreigners, to weave more strongly into the fabric of American life the ideals of equality in sympathy, and democracy, of cooperation and service, vital in the common language and common tradition there taught.
The public school are non-sectarian, non-exclusive, non-partisan. In them is laid the foundation of appreciation of the worth of the other fellow. Schools unite the members of the community in a common interest. “where the treasure is,, there will the heart be also.” It is a tremendous pity when the community does not make full use of the school to cement the life of the town in bonds of friendliness and co-operation.
Mrs. Blackman presented sharply to her hearers the crisis which confronts our national school system – thousands of schools without teachers, seven per cent of all teachers with qualifications below the minimum requirements of their state; very large decrease in the number of those preparing to teach; the average service of but forty-eight months in a profession which needs the finest technique and ripest experience; low salaries for teachers’ insufficient equipment; millions for roads; billions for war. Education is the fundamental need in a democracy. Democracy is doomed without it. We must save the schools or our visions and traditions will go with them. If women will it, the schools can now be taken out of politics.
Florida is one of the nine state whose state board of education is composed of ex-officio members, men who hold office because they were elected secretary of state, attorney-general, etc., not because they have the necessary time and qualifications to attend to the vital duties pertaining to education in our state. An appointive board has proven most satisfactory and it is imperative that the Florida State Board of Education shall be reorganized. Women will, more and more, take their places in county and state boards, and become state and county superintendents, and they will help elect the right men and women for these offices.
A Florida representative (Sears) has promised to bring before congress as soon as possible, the Smith-Towner bill, which the National Educational Association and the Federation of Women’s Clubs are endorsing. It provides for a secretary of education with a seat in the president’s cabinet and a federal appropriation of $100,000,000 to be distributed among the states in proportion to school population, such funds to be matched, dollar for dollar, by the states received them.
Mrs. Blackman concluded with an appeal to the club to keep wide awake to the needs of the public schools in our state, nearby rural districts and our own community, for the efficiency of the Florida school system must be greatly increased if it is to rank with the best state systems of our country.

SEMINOLE INDIANS TO NEW RESERVATION
(By The Associated Press).
PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 9. –
Led by their chief, Tony Tommy, the remaining largest single group of Seminole Indians, soon will move from their old haunts in this part of the state to a new reservation on the Florida west coast, about 40 miles from Fort Myers.
The new home of the Seminoles will consist of a reservation on approximately 21,000 acres, completely fenced in and including portion of the everglades. Although part of the reservation is under water, the arable portion is sufficient to support the Indians with land to spare.
The Seminoles in their new home will be provided with schools and they have agreed to submit to compulsory education laws.

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 inducement.
Peoples Bank of Sanford. We want your business.

THOUGHTS OF ARMISTICE DAY
Two years ago on the 11th of November the Armistice which ended the world war went into effect and the guns which had cost the lives of nearly ten million men ceased firing.
Since that day profound changes have come over the world and its people. New times are ushered in and new conditions prevail. The very foundation of Government have been shaken and all human institutions have been put to the test.
Out of war the world went into the speculation, extravagance and all manner of follies. Now at last the world has recovered its senses. The smoke of the war has cleared away, the passions it engendered have cooled a little and we begin to see in its true perspective the greatest catastrophe of all time.
It is clear to us now that frightful destruction of war cannot enrich the world. We cannot create wealth by destroying it. There were many who thought the war had ushered in a period of unprecedented prosperity. We now are undeceived. We realize that the world has lost half its working capital and no alchemy of speculation, no legerdemain of statistics, can hide this momentous fact. The bubble of speculation has burst; the mania for prodigal spending has run its course.
It took this bitter experience to bring the world to its senses. Humanity has just awakened from its delirium – a kind of brain fever that resulted from the surgical operation which cut off 10 million men. There never was a surgical operation like that. Never a fever road so fiercely as the one that seized the writhing body of the race and swept the whole world into folly.
Now the fever is gone and the body of humanity is deeply depressed. Presently it will begin to gain strength. The one thing that will aid recuperation and hasten the recovery of strength is the old-fashioned virtue of industry, accompanied by another economy.
The government’s propaganda on Thrift became tiresome to the prodigals, but now they would lay its truth to heart. They have personally proven the fact that there is no sure road to wealth, comfort or independence for an individual or a Nation, but by industry and economy. It is significant of a return to sanity that the sales of thrift and savings stamps increased 44 per cent in October.
It is a good idea to make Armistice day a milestone which will mark the beginning of a new era of Thrift. It is that which will restore prosperity and make life worth living.

A SENSIBLE PROGRAM
The decision of the state road department of which Forest Lake of Sanford is chairman, to adopt a policy of undertaking some definite work and carrying that work through to completion, is a far-reaching importance to all Florida. Heretofore the department has, in its anxiety to please and to bring as much temporary benefit as benefit as possible to communities scattered all over the state, spread its efforts in such a way that it was impossible to point to anyone undertaking carried out to completion. This comment is not intended as a reflection on any member of the commission but it is mentioned simply as indicating the fact that in trying to please everybody the department did not succeed in pleasing anybody.
Now the department has made up its mind to adopt the other alternative of paying no heed to the numerous pleas for road improvement here and there any, everywhere throughout the state but to inaugurate certain work and then proceed to carry that work thru until a finished product can be pointed to as a sample of what the department can and will do if the people of Florida will only afford the ways and means. In other words, a mile of well-built highway is considered of more value than 100 miles of partly built roads scattered in a dozen counties whose inhabitants are more dissatisfied over half-finished road work than they were before any road improvement was undertaken. Every newspaper in Florida will back the department in this program of starting something and then carrying that something through to absolute completion.

HISTORY REPEATS- SOMETIMES
Under the rules of the games, as established by historical precedent, General Pershing should have been nominated and elected president this year.
All previous wars in which the United States has engaged have furnished presidential timber in large quantities.
The Revolution supplied George Washington from the military side, and three or four other presidents who distinguished themselves as statesmen of the revolutionary crisis.
The war of 1812 was unpopular in some quarters. It was full of disaster to our land forces. Only one land battle was won – that of New Orleans – and it was fought after peace was declared; yet it gave us Andrew Jackson for president.
One o four Indian wars gave us William Henry Harrison.
The Mexican was was openly opposed by the Whigs. Yet one of the heroes of the war was a Whig – Zachary Taylor of Louisiana and he was elected to succeed Polk.
The Civil War was lifted General Grant into presidential prominence and gave him two terms almost without opposition. For many years most of the candidates on both sides were men with war records. Hayes, Garfield and McKinley were all officers in the union army.
Our war with Spain came next. McKinley was re-elected as an endorsem*nt of the war and Roosevelt owed his nomination to the vice presidency to his war record. Taft was lifted into prominence by his services in connection with the Spanish war as as governor of the Philippines.
Shall the world war prove an exception? It is singular to eay the least that the president-elect, chosen by the biggest popular majority ever cast, was only lukewarm toward America's entrance into the great struggle. Of all the candidates, so far as we can recall, Roosevelt was the only one directly connected with the operation of the war.
It is singular too, that the group of senators who opposed the war, and throughout the whole contest went as far as they dared so in opposition to war measures, is now in full control of the senate. What so these facts signify?

NEWSPRINT HAS ADVANCED 500 PER CENT
A current report of the government forest service says that the larger newspaper publishers of the country have been able to keep down the advance in cost of their newspaper to about 200 per cent because of their ability to contract in large volume. But the market price, according to the bulletin, has advanced 500 per cent since 1915. It is at this price that the small publisher is compelled to buy his paper stock.
Primarily the reason for the advance in paper is due to a wood shortage. In earlier days the paper mills were built in the lumber regions and their pulp wood was a sort of by-product of the saw milling industry. But in most of these regions the saw mills have finished and they have packed up, burned out, or moved away for some other reason. But the paper mill cannot play the part of “carpet bagger” quite so easily, and as a result the northeastern part of the United States has become largely dependent upon Canadian wood. Spruce from Minnesota and Canada, for example, is being hauled from 700 to 1200 miles to Wisconsin paper mills. In New York state, where nearly 50 per cent of our newsprint is produced, 60 per cent of the pulp and paper mills have absolutely no timber supplies of their own. New Hampshire ad Maine appear to be the only eastern states that still have raw material for making paper, and there is a well-grounded suspicion in the paper trade that the day of profiteering in spruce, hemlock, balsam and poplar in pretty well under way.
The big papers, in any event, are certainly eating up the little ones, and their “funny sheet,” magazine sections and other irrelevant features add to the tragedy of the proceedings.

THE CARD OF THANKS
We are every now and then requested to publish the obsolete “card of thanks.”
William E. Curtis, of the Chicago record-herald, mentioned in s recent letter to his paper, a curious “card from a Georgia widow,” which was recently published in the Griffin Call of that state and reads as follows:
“Mr. Editor: - I desire to thank most heartily in this manner the friends and neighbors for their cooperation during the illness and the death of my late husband, who escaped from me by the hand of death on last Friday while eating his breakfast. To my friends and all who contributed so willingly toward making the last moments and funeral of my husband a success I desire to remember most kindly. Hoping these lines will find them enjoying the same blessings, I have also a good milch cow and roan gelding which I will sell cheap.
“God moves in a mysterious way and his wonders to perform, he plants his footsteps on the sea and rides Upon the storm. also a black and white shoat very low.”

Sanford Milk Depot at City Market
cOn November 1 we secured the output of the PINEHURST DAIRY and now have the entire output of both the ROSELAND and R. I GARRISON DAIRIES. This gives us the opportunity to render first class service and by eliminating all unnecessary overhead expense by combining under one distributor, will enable us to give real service at a minimum cost. There will be no advance in the price of any dairy product. The regular morning and evening delivery will be continued as before the merger and in addition we will make auto deliveries at all hours of the day from the store, where the milk and cream is kept in our cold storage plant.
Patrons will please so-operate with deliverymen by putting out bottles and ticket, so as not so cause a delay. Where there are no bottles or tickets there will be no milk delivered – this being the only way we can service you promptly and sufficiently.
Tickets can be secured at the store of from the delivery man.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF DISASTER HIT YOUR TOWN?
30,000 Victims of Sudden Disasters Helped Last Year by Red Cross
Atlanta, Ga., Nov.
What would your town do tomorrow were it suddenly stricken by disaster?
The question is not as foolish as it may sound to people who are living today in safety and happiness and who no more anticipate disaster tomorrow than they do the end of the world.
For no one knows when or where disaster will strike.
There was no warning of the San Francisco earthquake and fire. One moment the people of that mighty city were bustling about their business utterly devoid of fear or premonition; the next their entire world was tumbling about their ears.
One morning two miles of the city of Atlanta, Ga., were swept by fire in less than four hours.
Wall street never expected a bomb explosion until it came and killed more than thirty people and maimed scores of others in less time than it takes in read this paragraph.
Even gathering storms and rising floods, such as the south has known on its coasts and at river cities like West Point, Ga., give scant warning before homes are inundated and people forced to flee for their lives.
To any one at any time, tornado, fire and storm may bring peril and suffering. So the question is asked again:
“what would your town do tomorrow if disaster struck?
It is to provide an answer to that question that the American Red Cross has been in existence for years and years. It is the recognized official agency for disaster relief, and it has lived up to its responsibilities in as wonderful way.
That is one reason way the Red Cross deserves the support of everyone of its Fourth Roll Call – to maintain it so that, when disaster strikes, the stricken will always have a helping hand to turn to, the America Red Cross.
The disaster relief part of the Red Cross organization has been so thoroughly perfected that it can answer calls for help in the briefest possible time.
People of the south well remember how promptly the Red Cross responded to the need during the West Point flood last year, the Corpus Christi storm ans several other southern disasters, while fresh in the memory of the entire country is the fact that Red Cross doctors and nurses were “first on the scene” at the wall street explosion.
In addition to furnishing such prompt relief as this practically every Red Cross chapter has a permanent disaster relief committee, which has made a survey of resources in their respective communities and is prepared to act promptly with the means at hand when disaster occurs.
Illustrative of the genuine need for just such preparedness as this in the United States is the fact that last year alone, the Red Cross aided 30,000 persons in 164 communities a;; victims of 78 separate and distinct disasters.
In the accomplishment of this relief work 140 Red Cross chapters were called upon to assist the sum of $900,000 in cash and supplies was expended. Thirty temporary hospitals were called into existence, twenty-odd motor corps were organized, seven special relief trains were sent out and 110 special representatives and nurses were furnished in addition to the aid given by the local Red Cross workers in the community visited by disaster.
In these 73 disasters, including 19 tornadoes and cyclones, 2 hurricanes, 2 cloud bursts, 1 hail storm, 2 earthquakes, 1 landslide, 15 fires, 1 explosion, 9 floods, 10 shipwrecks, 1 train wreck, 4 riots, 1 motor accident and 2 droughts – 850 persons were killed, 1,500 were injured, 13,000 (approximately) were rendered homeless while property valued at $5,000,000 was destroyed.
The largest and most destructive disaster of the year was at Corpus Christi, Texas, in September, 1919. Approximately 400 were killed and 4000 made homeless. The Red Cross division director with a staff of 35 assistants administered a fund of $400,000, giving aid to 3,600 families and four towns and rural districts and sufficient supplies to each family to enable on to stand on its feet.
Because of tornadoes, the Gulf and Lake Divisions were called upon to sent emergency relief with trained workers to nearly 80 communities. The two droughts in Montana and North Dakota gave abundant opportunity for trained workers from the Northern Division to help the Red Cross chapters demonstrate their usefulness, while a number of shipwrecks proved the readiness of the Atlantic Division and the New York Metropolitan Area Committee to assist in that line of work.
The record of last year emphasizes the need of abundant preparedness along the line of disaster relief, and has resulted in the organization of the Disaster Preparedness Committees by about 400 chapters and the settling aside of a special emergency fund by the National organization of $5,000,000 in addition to the regular annual appropriation for this purpose made in its budget.

DAIRY CATTLE ARE TO BE FEATURED AT STATE FAIR
Visit Big Exposition This Year and See What Florida is Doing On Developing This Important Factor.
Jacksonville.
Substantial increase I number of dairy cows in Florida since the first State Fair will be strikingly illustrated at the big exposition in thus city November 18 to 37.
The fair management has set aside a separate building for the exclusive use of the dairy cow, and the indication are that the huge structure will be crowed to capacity.
If you want to know what Florida is doing in the daily business, do not overlook this exhibit when at the state fair.
Four years ago Florida was not considered a dairy state but accomplishments since that time have placed Florida on the dairy map with both feet as a visit to the dairy building will show.
It is estimated that the number of dairy cows in the state has increased approximately 500 per sent since the initial state fair. This essential and important industry is keeping pace with the tick eradication work, and it is predicted that following completion of the tick work, Florida will rapidly forge to the front as one of the foremost dairy cattle states of the Union.
So much importance is attached to the development of the dairy industry in Florida that last year at the risk of being barred from returning to their own state – because of the state law [prohibiting the entry of cattle from a tick area – the famous dairy herd from Frederick's Hall of Fredericksburg, Virginia, was sent to Florida for exhibition at the state fair. The management of the herd took this purely from an educational viewpoint, as it desired to show Floridians what good dairy cattle looked like and to demonstrate the possibility of accomplishing to Florida what has been done in Virginia as well as in other dairy states.
Florida breeders are principally specializing in Jerseys, Guernseys, Holstein-Fresians, and Short Horn milking breeds. All these breeds will be on display in a single building at the fair this year. If you are interested in the dairy business, it will be worth your time and money to make a journey to the exposition soley for the purpose of seeing what Florida is doing in developing this industry.
It will be an eye-opener.

A LETTER OF GENERAL PUBLIC INTEREST AND THE REPLY.
The Following Correspondence is of Vital Interest to Every Telephone User, Present and Prospective.
“New Orleans, La. October 12, 1920
Mr. J. Epps, Brown, President
Bell Telephone Co., Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir, --
I have read the advertisem*nts of your Company, but I do not understand why you must raise your rates now, when the prices
of everything else are falling.
Will you please explain this?
Yours truly,
_______________“
-------
Atlanta, Ga., October 16, 1920.
Mr. ________,
New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir: --
Your letter of October 12th asks a very natural question, and one which demands a full and frank reply, which I am glad to make.
While the prices of a great many things have, apparently, been reduced, these reductions in prices do not apply to articles used by the telephone company, or affect the expenditures necessary in the construction and operation of the telephone service:
Labor: More than fifty-five per cent of the total expenditures of the Company in rendering service are for wages and salaries; less than one-tenth of one per cent of this being for executive and general salaries.
The wages paid to our employees can not, and should not, be reduced. On the contrary they must be increased, in many cases, to bring our wage scale on a level with wages paid by unregulated businesses, so that we may retain our skilled employees necessary to give you efficient service.
Material and Apparatus: Many items of material and apparatus are involved in the current maintenance of the property, entirely apart from the enormous quantities involved in the construction of new property, and this represents a large item of expense.
There has been no reduction nor any indication of reduction, in the price of these essential articles, in practically all of which the labor, freight and hauling cost is by far the largest proportion of the total cost.
We know that the manufactures of telephone equipment and material have orders booked for two years in advance, with a constantly increasing demand, and which in turn makes a reduction in price in the near future more improbable.
Freight and Passenger Costs: Our annual expense for the transportation of freight and passengers is more than one million dollars. No one expects the Railroads to reduce their charges under the level of costs in rendering their service.
Rent: Except in the larger centers our central office and stocks of material are housed in rented buildings, and even in the larger centers we rent varying amounts of properties.
Like every one else, our rents have been greatly increased with no prospect of any reduction. Even in pre-war days all leases for property occupied by us were renewed only at higher charges than for the previous rental periods.
Hotels: The board and lodging bill for our men, who must travel in connection with the operation and maintenance of the property, costs many thousands of dollars every year, and we can see no prospect of the hotels lowering their charges. Until they do we must pay the present high charges.
Electric Power and Light; Street Car Fare. We spend many thousands of dollars every year for these services rendered to employees engaged in the maintenance of the property. In the majority of cases the rates charged by these companies have been substantially increased, and there is no thought of any reduction. The Telephone Company, like all others, must pay these increased rates.
Paper, Printing and Stationery: We consume tons of paper for book keeping, correspondence and directory purposes, and pay many thousands of dollars for printing annually. This item of expense has increased in percentage more than the others, and no one has suggested that any reduction in these in costs is probable.
Coal Bill: The Telephone Company purchases coal in large quantities to heat the buildings occupied by its employees in rendering the service.
We, of course, must pay whatever price is necessary to secure the coal for this purpose.
Insurance: Even where the actual rate per one thousand dollars has not been increased, we are compelled to carry a larger amount of insurance than in pre-war days in order to protect ourselves in the reproduction of any of the property which may be destroyed by fire, and this is reflected in a very large increase in the total insurance bill.
Taxes: This expense, both Federal and State, County and City, has increased every year we have been in business; the increase this year being unusually high. There is no probability of this expense being reduced.
We do not pay any excess profit tax because we have never earned enough to be subject to that tax.
Buildings: It is common knowledge that the cost of erecting any kind of building now, as well as making alternations and repairs, which constantly confront the Telephone Company and which involve material, labor, freight and hauling, is on an enormous higher plane than ever before. Insofar as the cost of materials may be reduced will this total cost be reduced.
The only way we can furnish adequate facilities for your use from year to year is by constructing the buildings in which to house the central office apparatus in the larger centers; as well as enlarging existing buildings to serve the increased needs, and this work must be carried on from year to year without delay. This involves hundreds of thousands of dollars in expense to the Company.
There are, of course, many other items of expense, all of which are now at the highest level in prices none of which show any sign of reduction for fundamental reasons.
Until these necessary costs of operation are materially reduced we can not reduce the COSTS of furnishing telephone service.
We have carefully studied and analyzed the advertised reduction on prices and find that they are upon articles of which we make but little, if any, use. Applied to the telephone business all known reduction in prices would not reduce the cost of furnishing telephone services one twentieth of one per cent.
This is many times offset by the increase in wages which, in many places, we must make during the current year.
Our present operating revenues are practically equaling by our operating expenses. If the present let down in general business continues for any appreciable time we will lose a material part of the gross revenue now received, which will make a still higher rate necessary if a deficit is avoided.
We are not asking higher rates for the SAME SERVICE we furnished one, two or five years ago, but for a much GREATER SERVICE which we now furnish, consisting of facilities to add many additional telephones to our system during the past one, two and five years.
This fact should be considered when comparing the increase in rates we ask with the increase in the charges of railroad, express and other public utilities for the same quantity of service.
We hope, as every one does, that in the relatively near future prices and the costs of operation, except labor, will be lower, but we see no immediate prospects of this result as far the Telephone Company is concerned.
The increased rates we are now asking are based, in a measure, upon this hope. If the present level of costs of operation go higher, through causes beyond our control, the proposed rates will not yield a fair profit.
It is important to remember that no rate for a public utility is permanent. If conditions and prices so change in the future as to make the rates we are now asking yield too high a return, and if the Telephone Company should not reduce the rates voluntarily, the Public Service Commission would.
Conditions as they are must be met, not as they may or should be.
The highest and best interest of the public is conserved in having the Telephone Company in position to supply facilities adequate to the demand for telephones and service, and in this way be prepared to render at all times an adequate service. No community can expand and grow without adequate telephone service, with in turn means adequate plant facilities.
With inadequate returns upon the bare cost of the physical property already in service, - the Company’s credit has disappeared.
With no credit the Company cannot secure the millions of dollars required to provide the additions and extensions to its plant, which must be provided if the public demand for telephone is supplied.
Respectfully yours, J. EPPS BROWN, President.

“The County that grows better races of fruits and beautiful flowers grow finer women and children.”
These were the words of Aristotle 800 year B. C. and he was one of the greater philosophers the world has ever known. To cause the people of this section to grow better gardens to grow in these gardens the choicest of vegetables and beautiful border flowers blended together with a magnificent lawn is our platform.
The entertainment of Company in the a Garden of Flowers in this Country of Liberty and Freedom is as rarer as MODESTY in a CONGRESSMAN.
If we cannot accept the League of Nations platform we can at least beautify our yards, gardens, and lawns equal to those found in the Old Countries so let us get up each morning and look into the Bright Smiling Face of Beautiful Flowers and get that pleasure out of living here in Sanford that is due each and all of us.

GOOD MESSENGER SERVICE
Manager Hall, of the Western Union, has an up to date messenger service, having lately installed a new wrinkle in the call boy. All customers who have a certain amount of business can have the service when they need a messenger to take a wire they push the button and this is registered upon a ticker tape in the Western Union and the boy is sent to the right address. Not only is the right address on the paper but is kept for future reference and in case the boys stop to shoot craps or engage in other harmless amusem*nts both ends can keep tab on him and there is no chance for the wrong number to be called. This city is getting a number of improvements in all kinds of business and it makes for better and quicker service.

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 – preceded 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.
