answer and say that away out from
its present western border there
are old pine stumps the sap all
gone long ago, but the old fat,
pitchy hearts are there, solid as fat
lightwood can be. There they are
old dead monuments of the once
tall, thrifty, luxurient pine tree.
How did they get therep Why,
they grew there when conditions
were such that a pine seed could
germinate and grow to full
grown pine tree. Now no pine
tree can grow within one mile of
those old relics of the past
1t was in the eighties the lakes
at the head of Kissimmee river
were canaled into the lakes below,
and these lakes canaled into the
Kissimmee river and that river i'm
proved to a considerable extent,
permitting all these pent-up waters
to get down into Lake Okeechobee
very much quicker than when they
were in their natural state. Then
we must remember that nature is
never idle. The natural process of
her great and unerring work is al
ways going on. The great water
shed trends toward Lake Okee-
chobee widens and deepens every
little stream, creek river or branch,
and the waters get into that great
receptacle, (Lake Okeechobee)
very much quicker than it did a
long time ago But the half has
not been told During these same
eighties a canal was cut out direct
lly from Lake Okeechobee into the
Caloosahatchee river, across a
natural level belt of land miles
wide, and Lake Okeechobee with
its 1900 square miles Of water
turned headlong down upon it.
This canal has been securing and
washing ever since, until it is
double its original capacity What
more need / say to convince any
one that something must be done
and done quickly.
Now is the time and should be
the accepted time to wake up to
the conditions which confront us.
The present administration says
emphatically that if the people will
stand by it, that Lake Okeechobee
shall be lowered and its waters
diverted east to the sea. / believe
what it says too to the letter
One big dredge already at work,
working on a bee line for the head
of New river to Lake Okeechobee,
and another almost ready. This
is good news to me, and shonld be
to every man in Lee and DeSoto
counties and all other counties as
we'll.
The people Of Lee county have
quite a record for disagreeing on
some things, but in this drainage
business they should unite to a
man. The opposition to the drain
age scheme is the big land owners
and few others who are more or
less undthy influenced by them,
but at heart I believe every man in
Lee county, who lives here, is in
favor of sustaining the drainage
scheme. ] earnestly hope so any
way. Let us vote for that consti-
tutional amendment and clear the
way for successful consumation
Of the plan to lower Lake Okee-
chobee. IF. A. Hendry in Tropical

The public had been promised
an entertaining game, a promise
which surely was kept, for the
fats were the latest and the leans
the leanest that ever were seen on
the diamond. They played ball
too, for when the game was called
at the end of the seventh inning
on account of darkness the score
was 7 to 7, tie.
Both sides played ball in their
best style for each was anxious to
prove his build the best. The leans
started out we'll, making four runs
in the first inning, but the fats,
showed them they were not SO
many after they got limbered up in
the third inning.
Mr.. Mccormick looked fine in
his baseball uniform. He had
promised to show us something
about playing first base, and he
did. Capt. Davenport made an
ideal fielder only missing one fly
which came into his territory.
Banker Chollar did brilliant work
OH third base, playing better than
many National League players.
Mr.. Williford pitched a fine game.
Sheriff Freeman showed that he
was star" among base runners
as did also Walter Graham. Al

the end of the game gave strong
evidence of brilliant sliding to bases
Mayor Plat played good ball, but
declares it to be the hardest work
he has done in many a day
Both sides declare they would
have won had the whole nine in
nings been played, but you don't
know which is right. Perhaps
they can be induced to finally settle
the matter by another game in the
near future,

Remedy For DandeIlons.

To the person who is trying to
maintain a lawn dandelions mean
nothing but a source OF work and an
hoyance. Cutting them off, even be-
low the surface, seems merely to
have the effect of making them null
tiply the faster. DR.. w. H. Evans, of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, calls attention to the ex-
Cellent results which he obtained this
spring by the use of gasoline. A

centre of the head of each dandelion
or chickory will destroy them root
and branch within twenty-four to for
ty-eight hours. At DR.. Evans sug-
gestion the remedy was tried on dan
delions and with perfectly satisfac-
tory results. The gasoline penetrates
throughout the plant, even into the
tip of the roots, causing a Shiny de-
composition. Apparently, gasoline
has some affinity for the milk or la
tex of these plants and follows the
latex tubes through the whole plant.
Grass and shrubbery are not injured
by the gasoline unless 1t is carelessly
applied in undue quantities.
