Poem reads: "Why will folks their winters spend Where ice and snow never end. While in De Land the warm sun shines, And zephyrs whisper in the pines? Oh fair city of De Land, In this lovely spot I take my stand, Here every charm of nature lies, A symbol of God's Paradise. Beneath a sky of azure hue, Where sunshine greets the whole year through, With fruit and flowers on every hand, Al these you'll find in Fair De Land. The evening bells of Stetson 'U', That greet the stars and falling dew, What sweeter chimes you'll find than these To float upon a Southern breeze? Her spires of many churches tell That God's children love Him well, Schools, homes, kind friends and love abound To greet the stranger on his round. So meet me here in Fair De Land, And then you, too, will take your stand, And say here is Earth's Paradise-- That here her choicest treasure lies. W.G.S. Lowe"

In the news:  It could be this photograph was in the news in August and September of 1919 as details of the Versailles Treaty were being hammered out in an attempt to have it ratified by Congress. President Wilson was fundamentally opposed to any changes that would send the treaty back to Paris. Among many other issues, there were protests from Hungary, Albania, and Persia. C. W. Russell, former American Minister to Persia spoke before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee saying that the Anglo-Persian Treaty robbed Persia of much of her sovereignty. Senator Philander C. Knox, former Secretary of State pushed for the right of self determination of Persia. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] There is an additional photograph of Charles W. Russell in the C.M.
