ROiODA. A LAND OF OPPORTUNm
By Lorenzo I). Case, Secretary, West Palm Beach Board of Trade.
For years before I had even flrpamed of ever seeinj? Florida, Italy waa to m« the land of enchant- mpnt On my own, like on Bro'wn- injr's heart, Italy was written. The Italian peninsula seemed to me to be a land set apart from the rest of the world.
Rut on viaitinir Florida, I found britrhter than Italian skies, softer tban Italian breezes, and a land like Itnly, steeped in tradition, and fra¬ grant jvitb the memories of an an¬ cient and romantic past. But that is not all. I found a country, unlike Italy, of unmeasured and unjruessed resources, and on the eve of develop¬ ment unparalled in the »history of the human family. The chanjres des¬ tined to be brought about in the "land of sunshine and flowers" dur¬ ing the next ten years will astonish the world.
Until quite recently Florida was an unknown land to the millions of dwellers in the more thickly settled and prosperous states of the north. The little that was known was moet unfavorable. The conscienceless pro- motor, the unscrupulous land agent, and the hirelings whose pens wrote lurid and grossly exaggerated tales of the fabulous sumsi to lye realized on small investments in the state, lured thousands to Florida, after having sold them land in submerged and malaria infested rcprions, at prices far above their rejil .value. Or, when the soil was drained and capable of bringing forth abundant¬ ly under intelligctit cultivation, multitudes failed because misled as to the financial resources necessary to carry their experiments in the new land to successful conclusions.
For years an army of investors, whose ranks were recruited from every state in the union, annually in¬ vaded Florida. The people were, as I a rule, hardy and adventrous spirits. i, Tbeir imaginations had beon fired by the tales they had heard of the op¬ portunities awaiting them in the land of eternal summer, and they were ready for the task of clearing places in the wilderness, and erectinp homes where fortunes so readily followed industry-.. But multitudes, because defrauded and misled, failed to re¬ alize their dreams, and soon joined that other army—the army of those

POWER
To get out of your motor all the power that was huilt'into it requires a gasoliae that is not only pure hut uniform.
It is because every gallon of SOCONY Motor GasoHne is like every other gallon, no matter where you buy it, that SOCONY runs a motor so much more efficiently than the best of un¬ identified gasolines. A carbure¬ tor once adjusted to SOCONY is adjusted for keeps.
You will find that SOCONY gives more miles to tbe gallon and more power to the milcr^ Say So-CO-ny and look for the Red, White and Blue sign.

broke.n in heart nnd pocket book, whose line of march wss Awtfy from Florida, it^ columns headed for tho land of the orijrinal hordes of its rank and file.
Inevitably the fair name of Florida was smirched. A public opinion hos¬ tile to the state soon became wide- «pre«d. A well nigh universal dis¬ trust made it next to impossible to (Pet a fair hearing for Florida any¬ where in the north land. And the de¬ velopment of about the fairest and richest portion of the globe was set back many years.
But i'lorida is at last entering in¬ to her own. Her recent history con¬ firms the poet's words: "Forever the truth comes uppermost And ever is ju.«;tice done." In the end, truth wins, and justice is done. The truth about Florida is at last frair.intr a hearing, and more and morp is justice being meted out to the one stat«, which more than any other, has suffered from the ex¬ ploitation of the ^eedy and unscru¬ pulous. The truth was bound to be known in time, and the truth al>out Florida is allurinp enough to draw millions to develop her vast reaches of fertile and uncultivated acres.
That Florida is to-day the la-d of opportunity for the man of modest means, and who is intelliprent, ambi¬ tious and industrious, is a fact which none will deny who are at all familiar with her resources and possibilities. Indeed, here are untapped reservoirs of wealth, the like of which no other rommonwealth can boast. It is the prreat American frontier to-day, and destined to more than duplicate the history of the successful pioneering days of the great west.
When the truth and the whole truth is known about Florida, the tide of migration and imagination sweep¬ ing' her way will soon people hor un¬ occupied places. Tho original homo of the human race was the rcprions bordering the tropics. It was not in the cold and inhospitable temperate zone that( man lived and made his home in the early years of human his¬ tory. It was under southern skies and in the sunlight and warmth of the southern climate that hc passed his earthly days. His family left his early home only because of fevers and plagues of various kinds, which he then did not know how to master. But now that the old enemies have been stamped out, or are easily con- troled, climate, long growing seasons, life in the) open all the year round, are urging his southward. Then, too, chilled by the frost king's ley breath, and woary of carrying the burdens created by winter's snows snows and blizzards, he is more and more turning his thoughts toward the land where there are none of the ills, and none of the problems which so sorely vex the> dwellers in ioe- l>ound regions.
But Florida, more so than any other state in the union, is a com¬ monwealth of extremes so pn^eat as to make it seem almost impossible that they all are comprised within the boundries of a sinprle state. There are at least two Floridas and many cViiim three. The two, north and south Florida, differ so greatly as to admit of but few cuniparisons. Briefly, it is only in south Florida that the pro.tiises of enchantinjr and resourceful Florida are gloriously f'alfiUod. Here and here alone are the palms and tropical fruits the |uHtplc_^r other states have associat¬ ed with Florida from their school (U'.ys. Here is a cliniatf that cannot l)t' duplicated even in l"'lorida.
In South Florida is the rich, black muck soil which, in conjunction v.ilh thu climate, yivddsa lu.xuriance of prrowth impossible to describe. He whu views for the first time the won¬ der crops i)roduced on this wonderful soil can hardly credit the evidence of his eyes. Seeing they say, is believing. But on the muck lands of South Florida are sights to make one rub his eyes, and wonder whether or not he sees straight. His feeling is akin to that of the Missouri farmer who, the first time he saw a giraffe, ex¬ claimed, "There ain't no such animal." This famous muck soil is being rapidly taken by people who have long lived in Florida. From all parts of the state they are flockingr to the sections where such soil exists. This influx of Florida's own people is the best possible proof of the claims of those wbo make statements such as those contained in this article.
The '>e8t of the muck land lies along the shores of Florida's g'reat lake, Okeechobee. It is high, easily drained and cleared. It is near to the market, and the people who are developing it are not shut off from the advantages and opportunitiea of the njodem city. Thla it especially true of the muck lands lying along the east shore of the great lake.
