Everywhere in this por- tion of the State there was evidence of a spirit of united organized work for its benefit. The paved roads are in perfect condition and motorists pass through enchanting avenues of beautiful Spanish moss lining live oaks thus graced with a "Bit o' old Spain," and in this setting is the lit- tle frame Episcopal Church, in which the famous author and fancily wor- shipped and which is still in use for public worship. As a tribute of re- spect the friends of the author placed a Tiffany Memorial window in the western window of the church, com- prising the scene of a beautiful sue - set, which is truly a magnificent sight on the St. John's river.. The inscrip- tion is "In memory of Prof. Calvin E. Stowe and Harriet Beecher Stowe. In that hour fairer, than daylight closing remains the glorious thought, I am with thee." The original home dwelling of the Beecher family, a modest cottage, was ruthlessly torn down by a pooh -bah son. Oh, the pity o' it. A nondescript portion of the barn and stable is preserved. Through an especial favor of The Expositor, wr secured a picture of the original home of the Stowe family, which shows Prof. Stowe, Harriet Beecher Stowe and two friends seated beneath a fav- orite live oak tree overlooking the St. John's river. On the old Spanish Trail highway is the San Jose eighteen hole golf course, designed by Donald Ross af- ter completing the Brady -Johns course tive and through the kindness of Mr. S. C. Denmark and wife, we enjoyed a big Hudson car ride over the Old Spanish Trail Highway, running frons St. Augustine on the Atlantic Coast to San Diego on the Pacific Coast, which is virtually the historic route of the San .Franciscan Monk mission- aries who first journeyed across the American continent. From an agri- cultural viewpoint of the section vis- ited, there is a large percentage of tillable soil and a decided percentage is still in its native forest. The small scattered farms bear testimony of the fertility of the soil as suitable for growing truck and garden crops, fruit and nut trees, berries, grapes, pota- toes and English Peas. On the first Saturday in April seventeen express carloads of strawberries were ship- ped to Northern points from Lawty Station, a place similar in size to Brucefield, being 180 crates to the car, thirty-two quarts to the crate, making 103,680 quarts and the price ranged from 40 to 60 cents per quart, making a total valuation of the ship- ment about $51,500. In this district is the Penny Corporation Farm tract, containing 125,000 acres, which is op- erated on the co-operative principle, having business methods similar to the departmental stores. The newness and practicability of the Penny fann- ing scheme demands a full explana- tion, which will be forthcoming in a separate article. Green Cove Springs is situated in a picturesque valley and is mentioned as the home of the Flor- ida National Military Academy. The world famous warm White Sulphur Spring here is known for its purity and healthfulness and flows at the rate of 3,000 gallons per minute. The spring is called the Ponce de Leon Fountain of Youth, and remarkahic cures for rheumatism, stomach, kid- ney, liver, skin and nervous diseases are attributed to its curative waters. Bayfield..

The bridge is more than two miles in length, providing a twenty -foot double automobile driveway, repre- senting an investment of $550,000. On a fishing expedition to Mayport, Mr. Denmark hooked a big tarpon which gave the party a few minutes of thrilling activity before landing, and the cast taken out. The largest bass hcmor was accorded to the credit of Mrs. Denmark, a 32 -pound Crevalli. We attended divine service in the Reformed Jewish Tabernacle on Sat- urday morning and was pleasingly impressed with the simplicity of the service and the congregation marked- Iy devout. The Rabbi did not preach but described world-wide happenings to the Jews, making special reference toward reclaiming the 'Holy Land. The congregational singing was in- spiring. There was no collection tak- en, so we got off Scot-free. On the following day we attended divine ser- vice in the Greek Catholic Church, being an impressive ceremony with marked religious fervor by the ad- herents, especially in the adoration of the Cross of Christ. The priest rejoiced in a beard and the robed vestments were similar to the Roman Catholic priesthood when officiating at the Mass. The service throughout was intoned in Greek by the priest and a church acolyte. There was a celebration of Holy Communion, the priest .partaking of the wine and the communicants the bread. In church financing the Greeks have the Jews .beaten to a frazzle. Prior to the of- fertory being taken, one of the church officials bears a large plate containing all denominations of money from Which bilis may be changed to reduced amounts for contribution. This money -changing official was followed by other officials bearing plates for the offertory. The Greeks don't give the $10 bill church -goer an excuse f' passing -up the collection plate. Merl and women separate on entering the church, each taking opposite sides, and we caused • considerable amuse- ment to the younger portion of the congregation by occupying a church pew in the orthodox Canadian man- ner. A beggar sat in the church poreh soliciting alms, thus giving the re- ligious service a realistic oriental biblical aspect. An ostrich farm is one of the lead- ing attractions for the Florida tourist and a recent visit to one was mom- entarily freighted with tepidly chang- ing developments ever replete with interesting situations.

When away from home "the stranger in a strange land" enjoys meeting people whose former lives were spent around the old familiar scenes of more youthful days. This pleasure was realized in meeting Mrs. Helyn Humphries, a daughter of the late James Hearn, well known cattle dealer of Huron, residing in Clinton. Mrs. Humphrey is a talented music- ian and occupies a prominent position in thusical circles in Jacksonville and quite frequently delighting city audi- ences and in radio programmes. Here the beneficial and delightful invigor- ating climate of Florida is evidenced in good health and prolonged youth- ful appearance. Another pleasing oc- currence of Canadian home attraction was the visit of the combined Boards of Trade of Hamilton and Windsor to Jacksonville en route to Cuba, the visitors being entertained by the Chamber of 'Commerce. The music of the Highland Pipe Band of the Royal Scottish Borders carried the cit- izens away in transports of rapturous delight. Among the old-timers met were C. W. Kirkpatrick, Commission- er of Industries and Publicity of Ham- ilton., and formerly of the Spectator staff; Mr. C. B. Struthers, County Re- presentative of Essex, Windsor, formerly County of Huron represent- ative, residing in Clinton, and Mr. Gordon Ballantyne, a former resident of Stratford, and at present the Presi- dent of the Ballantyne Dairies Ltd., Windsor. As we parted company he said, "Remember me to Charley Bar- ber. He's just right A 1." Historic scenes make an especial interesting appeal to your representa- Ades hi Stema.c112.

There are twenty-four feathers in each wing. An attendant stated that ostrich eggs "were good eatin'." The ostrich hes two toes on each foot and without heels. Some are quite vicious and kick forward in a similar manner to that of the human being giving a ,knock -out blow. The ostrich farm is under the supervision of Mr. N. Garcia, a world -war veteran, who courteously assisted the sightseers in all the ostrich manouvers. Among the party were Mr. and Mrs. L I. Riley, of the Pullman Car Co., of New York, and being armed with a camera, snapped'the representative of The Expositor astride a big ten -foot ostrich, a la Prince of Wales making thirty-five an hour around the race course. The ostrich marathoner did "the buck -act" in great shape, but our Western pony -riding experience sav- ed the Prince act. Mr. and Mrs. Riley were also successful equestrians proving that the Irish can't be beaten. The ostrich is n funny old bird. When it tires of racing it sticks its head into the sand thinking the attendant, cannot see it and will remain in that posture until rested. Another ostrich named Oliver P., having trotting marks to its credit, was harnessed to a light buggy and driven around the race track with the less venturous tourists as occupants. Among other pleasing attractions of the ostrich farm are rare specimens of African, Brazillian and Japanese laughing doves, with beautiful plumage of var- iegated colors and some were not much larger than the Canadian robin as also were the parrots and cocka- toos. The monkeys were especially generous with entertainment, one of which escaped and hid under a shed. His monkeyship was promptly return- ed to its cage by a little fox terrier dog, which siezed it by the nape of the neck amid wild screeches and gesticulations, expressive of abhor- ence of the inhuman indignities of- fered. One of the lady tourists sel- ected from her family compact a small round mirror and gave it to one of the monkeys. Well, great Ceasar's ghost, it beggars descriptive powers to write the astonishment and wild delight with which the monkey surveyed itself in the mirror. It called the other monkeys to enjoy a peep in the mirror which ended in a general chatter of monkey language. We left the monkey with the mirror arranging its hair locks over the ears a la modern girl minus face paint and lipstick keeping in memory the modern evolutionist and the l urwinnian theory. What and Why? A real funny episode happened to your representative while sightseeing at the ostrich farm. Our note to the ground and was returned by a boy of about twelve years of age, whereupon we laid, "Thank you; you're a Christian. " The lad immed- iately replied, "No, sir, I'm not a Christian, I'm a Catholic.'^ In the language of James V—that kid was a sweet singer in Israel. A great many of the financial mag- nates of the nation have their win- ter homes in Florida. Thomas A. Edison and henry Ford are at Fort Meyers experimenting on the growth of rubber. "Wrhacher think of my new air flivver," asked Henry. "She's a peach an' soon the world will be rubbering at her," replied Thomas. Up to the present Florida grown rub- ber doesn't rubber. A municipal airport was opened at Tampa last week. The new mode of travelling is in the air and the south- ern cities are getting ready for it. Chief Lion Duncan should add an air- port to the Lion Swimming Pool and be properly in the swim. A negro thief told the Daytona police magistrate that "I'se dun got badly stung de odder day when I'se dun stole de pen from de lobby of de pos' office."

Thousands of young girls who- were in an anaemic condition owe their present good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. One of these, Miss Katie McEaehern, Port Hood, N.S., says:= "I praise the day I began the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I had not been feeling well for" some time. I was very pale, had severe headaches, dizzy spells, and occasional faint- ing spells. The least exertion would leave me' tired and breathless. In this condition I began taking Dr Williams' -Pink Pills. I continued their use until I had taken six boxes, by which time I was again enjoying good health.
