Upon the State of Florida the morning of Fri day, May 3, dawned to show every promise of hope and prosperity.

Down the long peninsula crawled trains that labored with the weight of tourists re turning to the north and west after a winter which had filled every hotel in the land to, overflowing and gladdened the hearts of the landlords.

The golf links and the tennis grounds were deserted and some of the great hotels were closed for the season, but many lingered before returning in view of the late frosts and all felt reluctant to turn their backs on a time and place of so much enjoy ment.

In orange grove and pineapple plantation, on truck farm and tobacco field, laborers appeared and the work of the day began.
