ent kinds of produce grown bv the
members in the state, and should there
be demand that would justify ship
ping to any point, notice issimmediate
~ sent to different members to have as
many boxes as possible at q certain
GATE at certain stations, notifying head
quarters how many can be depended
upon. In this way car load lots are
made up. The cars being made up by
several different shippers, each ship
pers' boxes being branded with his
own brand and variety of fruit, stem
ellis being furnished by the union.
The car is then sent to the Consolidated
Auction company Of whatever market
1t may be consigned and sold at public
auction, to the highest bidder, inn
mediately on arrival, returns being
made direct to the shippers to whom
lists are sent showing contents of car
and prices realized for every package.
Any person wishing a prospectus of
the union, by writing to Washington
Fruit and Produce Union, 1915 Pacific
Avenue, Tacoma, will receive one by
mail. We know that this is the only
means by which the growers can get
out of the grasp of the commission
and while we realize that
the organization is in its infancy, the
time will come in the future when it
will bear the same relation to this state
as does the fruit union of California.
This is the age of combinations. The
farmer cannot buy any farm machinery,
or any article used, except through
mbinations for the interest of those
and it is is only through
combinations that the growers will
realize prices for their fruit now going
to waste. It is estimated that during
this season over $500, 900 worth of fruit
have been fed to the hogs, while mill
lions of people in the east would gladly
have purchased at fair prices. With
the cooperation of the grower we hope
next year to be able to handle large
portion of the fruit crop to advantage,
with the early small fruit
and ending with the apple crop,
Yours truly, J. G. DoLAN
Manager Washington Fruit & Pro-
duce Union.

The Schools 70 Continue.

The board of public instruction held
a special meeting last Monday to con-
slider the advlsability of closing the
schools at the end of the fifth month,
owing to the failure of the Merchants
National bank and the probable loss
of the school fun1s locked up in that
institution. After listening to the
opinion of the county attorney it was
held that the board had no power un-
der the terms of the contract with the
teachers to close the schools, SO they
will be run for the full period specified
in the contracts, but the teachers vii
have to wait patiently until the taxes
are collected for their pay. Ihls o
course they will do as they are patien
| and patriotic.

for his text: ''Ye are the light of the

pleasure of listening to him often.

Treasurer Griffin Replies.
Editor Ocaia Banner.

In your issue of the 22nd, ex-Treas-
urer Stevens makes some statements
which are calculated to mislead the
public. He says he did not offer me a
check for the amount due the county,
while in the next sentence he says: 81
do not know why he would not re-
ceive the funds, books, etc unless he
hal cause t. believe that the bank
could not meet my check" And
| agsin he says that he had drawn
| check for the amount aud was going
to the bank to draw the money and
count it over to me. Let us see?
When Mr.. Stevens drew this check,
he drew it in favor of A. X. Griffin.
So he stated TO me, and should / have
received the check | most assuredly
would have had to receipt to him for
il as so much money. Now, how could
he have gone and drawn the smoney
on this check unless had endorsed it
over to him which would have left me
Mr.. Stevens and his bondsmen re-
leased. When Mr.. Stevens met me
and said that he was ready and told
him was not, my reason was this:
the bank had at this time closed for
business for that day and wanted to
quietly wait until next morning and
h. ! Oixy ATr
opportunity to draw the cash. How
ever, I did not know the bank was
going to close for good, as MI. Stevens
charges. Another reason was Mr.. ID.
~. Miller was to give me the total foot
ings of the various accounts between
Mr.. Stevens and the county before l
receipted Mr.. Stevens for same. This,
he had not done, aad l walked direct
", over to his office but Mr.. Miller was
not in, and his son told me he had
gone home, | then said to Mr.. Chas.
Miller, "tell your father l. will be in
early tomorrow morning to settle
with Mr.. Stevens. Also, tell Mr.. Ste
vens." Early next morning called at
the clerks office for the fOotings. Mr..
Miller was not in. Charley told me Mr..
Stevens had gone home. l walked
over to the bank and Mr.. Mcconnell
said to me, ''old man, Stevens has
gone home and left the business for us
to-settle,n AS / walked out of the
bank Mr.. Wendt approached me and
said that he had checks drawn and
everything ready to turn over to me.
My reply was, ~ am not ready to re-
ceipt for checks"
Had Mr.. Stevens been "a good
county official, to say nothing of his
good citizenship, he, instead of leaving
the matters to Others to settle, should
have remained in Ocala and turned
over the funds, books, etc, and in that
event, will admit, the county would
not have lost cent, but the funds
(money) never were rendered me.
do not seek newspaper notoriety
and regret having to go into print, but
think the above necessary to vindi-
cate myself.

Come to the Iexic sea-come to Florida.
This has been the coldest week of
tine winter in all points outside of
Florida. Foggy London has been
snow-bound and the great northwest
has been locked in the embrace of the
Ice King. Old Boreas has been on a
terrific debauch and has spread devas-
tation and misery in a wide section of
country. Man and beast have per-
ished. In Florida, with the exception
of needed rains, the atmosphere has
been balmy and the climate delight
full. The sun has given out his genial
warmth and overcoats have been a
burden. The winter indeed has been
almost as open and buoyant as spring.
Just why people had rather suffer and
shiver and freeze to death in the bleak
northwest than enjoy life in so genial
climate as ours, is something we can
not understand. Lands are cheapan
living easy. Fish are plentiful and
game abundant and the soil responds
easily to toll.
Our advice to the ice-bound deni.
zens of the far north, is to come to
Florida, escape the death chilling
blasts of winter, bask in the glow oi
the sunshine, live and enjoy life.
Even geese, twitted for little sense
bid farewell to their summer haunts
in the arctic seas at the first breath o.
winter, and seek the warm waters o
the gulf, and lakes and streams of oul
semi-tropic land.
Go to the goose, thou foolish mar
and be instructed in wisdom.
