Sunshine hat been plentiful
in the Sunshine state the past
few days so I have acquired a
bit of a sun tan. We are shoving
off for New York shortly and I
am hoping the spell of "unusual
weather" in that sector will have
ceased upon our arrival. I have
had enough "unusual weather
this year to last me for some
time, it Js very pieasanv i"
Ma nnw hut it certainly was a
bitter blow to me when we first
came here to see people wanner
trie around wearing overcoats.
And having to sit close to a gas
heater at mgnt time.
Pleas Note
luntivoi nf Florida rarely run
for political office. Most of the
government positions are new
men who have come here from
other states. Those with ability
p nratnrn have a distinct edge
in running for office in the Sun-
shine state. In tne past iuu yeara
ninp natives of Florida have
been elected to the office of gov
ernor. The Sunsnine state even
had one governor, David Sholtz,
who was a native of Brooklyn.
Polo Ponies
Many thoroughbreds enjoy
racing, but none enjoy that as
much as polo ponies do a polo
match. Laddie oaniora nas a
olo pony that is 17 years 01 age.
this noble animal today.
He is very lively. However, if
kept from playing polo he broods
and won t eat.
Rockefeller's Poem
John D. Rockefeller was very
fond of poetry, but during his
long life he wrote only one
poem. He had this poem printed
on cards which he gave to peo
nl in whom he handed those fa
mous shiny new dimes. This is
the poem:
I was early taught to work as
well as play.
My life has bHa one long
happy holiday
Full of work and full of
play.
I dropped the worry oa the
way
And Cod was good to m
very day.
'i
Indian Names
Which state has the most cities
and towns with Indian names? Ij
believe it must be either Wash
ington or Maine. Florida still has
many towns bearing Indian
names, but in many cases these
names have been discarded as
too hard to pronounce and spell.
As for example take the town of
Ickepuckessa, the name of which
was changed to Plant City.
Lemons
What Is the extent of your in
formation on lemons? Are you
1 familiar with the Perrine lemon?
This is named in honor of Dr.
Henry E. Perrine. About 100
years ago Dr. Perrine brought
some limes from Yucatan, Mex
ico, and transplanted them on
the Florida Keys. He then crossed
the Key lime with a lemon and
produced the fruit that bears his
name.
CattU
It was my belief the importa
tion of brahma bulls in Florida
to improve the breed of cattle
was a recent development. I now
learn that one E. E. Goodno, pre
viously a cattleman in Kansas,
started the importation of brah
ma bulls in Florida in 1867.
These bulls are immune from
tick fever. They sweat so much
they drown the ticks. We were
warned our dog would pick up
ticks and fleas down here, but
so far he has been bothered by
neither. He is in the pink and
full of pep. Thought 11 years old
he can turn on terrific speed
when pursuing a squirrel. A re
markable animal.
Briefly
At Homossassa Springs, on
highway 41 to Tampa, that erst
while great Brooklyn Dodger
pitcher, Dazzy Vance, once con
ducted a hunting lodge. I think
next to Joe McGinnlty and Nap
Rucker that Vance was Brook
lyn's greatest pitcher of all time.
. . . That pink Florida grapefruit
is really something. However, it
is hard to get in Florida because
most of it is shipped to other
states.
Boom Towns
Among the Florida boom
towns of the 1924-1926 period
was one named Venice. This
town was developed by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers. It was a planned city
to be surrounded Dy tarms owned
by retired locomotive engineers.
Corporations organized by the
brotherhood spent 514 million
developing this place, but it col
lapsed in 1926 with many other
dream cities of f londa.
Asides
In 1918 Sidney J. Catts ran
for governor of Florida on the
prohibition ticket and scored
quite an upset when he won the
election.

Crickets Discovered
In Umatilla County
Pendleton, Ore., Apr. 28 (U.R)
Umatilla County Agent Harold
Werth said here today two bands
of Mormon crickets have been
found on 7,000 acres of land in
northeastern Oregon.
One cricket group covers
8,000 acres five miles west of the
Westland highline and the other
group is on the county line due
west of the Echo-Buttercreek
junction, he said.
Werth said private land own
ers were expected to battle the

fight.
