Geo. in for the Full par - IN MEMORIAM CANADA TO' BE PREFERRED TO ETHER FLORIDA OR THE PACIFIC COAST Simson-In loving memory of a dear wife and mother, Isabella Sirnson, who passed away, April 25, 1924. Millman -In loving memory of a dear sister and aunt, Mary J. Millman, who passed away, Sept. 19, 1924. There's some"one. who misses you sadly And finds•the clays long .since, you went There's someone who thinks of you daily But tries to be brave and content. W. Simson and Mrs. N. Wade. (Written foci the Advance Times By PI, R. Holmes) For sometime it has been the inten- tion to send you some trenchant coin merits on Florida and the U. S. Paci- fic Coast. With references to that very ranch overated portion of it, Southern California. ' First to take tip Florida. That, was, very' well written letter by D'r,, Mary Fi idlater, published in the Advance - Times and I am sure after reading it "Gentle Annie", will think twice be- fore starting for the "Everglad•er." The letter .referred to however didA, not go sufficiently far in showing up.. the folly of Canadians going to Flori- da with the intention of purchasing any property .there. They would soon realize the great' mistake they would be making in golag there, and would be glad to shake the malarial Mosquitoes of the• everglades off tlieir "leather completions," and return north again, as thousands are now do- ing, with sad experience purchased at a high price, but which may be useful in preventing them from making a si- milar or even worse mistake in trying out a more undesirable country still so' glaringly advertised and known as "Southern California. I have not only visited but also re- sided for sometime in each country and therefore it ought to.be admitted that I am in. a position to'speak ad- visedly about them. , Climate, fruit and scenery are the three, principal and'in fact only at- ractions they have to offer. For the first: Florida has the ad- vantage for they have not the sante chilly winds and raw rains so, pre- valent on the Pacific cp'ast and there never was an orange grown:. on -,,,the other slope. of the Sierra Nevadas to equal the Indian 'River' Oranges of Florida,' or those of the Lake Eusk's and Palalka districts. The Climate. of neither' is suitable to men or women of the Northern Zone.. Of 'course no one who .could avoid it would` want a year round res- idence in either of them. Both of thein, are infested at all seasons by the worst forms of insect pests, from the Texas Gallownipper to the deadly Taranlulu. From the dreaded white ants to the` . festive jumping fleas, not to mention the blood_ thirsty mosquitoes, which are everywhere. there. "The female of the species," both insect and hu.nian P , are the worst•, inboth countries. As my learned friend the- "Dr." sta- tes,, they are "leather faced and short skirted", and in California often ,wor- se than that, for they 'show sj.gns there of even discarding,the , sk -ts- apparently wanting to imitate the ac- ress•, whose clothes were auctioned off as she' stood shivering on ' the boards of a Kansas City Theatre. As spaceat,this season ,'with,;, so many Easter. notices; may be' limited, I will conclude this present 'sketch with a list of the following aphorisms referring particularly to Southern CaI- ifornia-A country to stay away from. Everyone of them true and any does not one' denying any ofthem, know that country and never resided there, and certainly never held the pet sitioli of Court Reporter, as the writer did: r.. A Country where the rivers are ;water. without ti , 2. Where the fruit. is without fig: vor. .3. Where the flowers are without fragrance. 4. Where the : birds , are without song. 5. Whea-e out ceasing. the omen tiro .here i w '6. W virtue. q. E1nd the men without honor. And about tfi�ir boasted :climate, it may be added that it ,resembles some places in Me.rico, where Kipling said there were three months of winter, and nine months of hell. Reeve Geiger er Wins g Mr. Owen Geiger, Reeve of Hensall (has come out the victor in a peculiar law tangle, which was argued in the Court of Appeal_ at 'Toronto a few days ago. The .action' arose over the duty on a ,carload of flax shipped to Cleveland. ' Mr. Geiger had contract.- ed ontract ed to pay the duty and did so •to the C.N.R. at Hensall when shipment was made. The railway company. did not forward the duty promptly, however, and the car;; arrived at Cleveland not charged. The'consignees did not no- tify Mr. Geiger of this but attempted to get the' car • cleared'themselves. Meantime, however, the Arnerican tariff on flaxgtow was increased large- ly and the consignees had to pay up- wards of two ' hundred dollars ($200) more duty to release the shipment. For this :excess they sued Mr. Geiger,. but he contested his: liability on the. ground;; that it was .the .negligenge of the plaintiffs in neither notifying him nor payifig the duty promptly 'before the rate 'went up that was the cause of this loss. The case was first tried. at Exeter by His Honor Judge Lew- is, who gave judgment in favor of Mr. Geiger. The plaintiffs appealed, but again the decision is in favor of Mr. Geiger after, a review of the case by the full Appeal Court of five jud g e s.-Hensall Observer.
