Largo is one of the finest and larg-
est citrus fruit producing sections in
Florida, and by far the leading ship
ping point on the Pinellas peninsula.
Two years ago Largo shipped about
$4,000 boxes of oranges, grapefruit
and lemons. Last season this was cut
down to about $4,000 boxes, and it is
expected about the latter amount will
be reached this year. The quality is
much better this season than last as
the fruit is of early spring bloom,

Women In San Francisco are little
deliberate in accepting the new styles
as they come in-or at least so several
tailors have said-and it is only the
ultra fashionable who will wear the
newest modes as soon as the tailors
would like to make them. The time
for dallying is past now, however. The
day of voluminous garments is a thing
of the future only. Women must now
roll. diet, kick-anything to get thin

to make themselves masters of some trade
or occupation The chance to earn 81 so
per Gay at common labor looks better
than to spend year or two without
wages while learning a trade. But it is
an extremely short sighted policy. Look
around, young man, and learn lesson
from those who have done the same as
you are doing. Note the dozens of people
of your acquaintance who are struggling
to support their families on meager wages.
working at anything they can find to do,
and without hope for anything better.
Don't you see that you are headed for the
same class, unless you perfect yourself in
some useful occupation? Then look at
the fellows who are getting from SIS to
ST. SO month, whose families live in nice
homes and enjoy the comforts Of life.
They are not simply lucky. They had
sense enough in their youth to learn to do
something well. Don't envy them, but
go and do likewise.

The Musical Recitais

The musical rectals Of the pupils of
Miss Jennie Wagner at the close Of their
years work have become a looked for
event by our people as much as the COM
mencement and graduating exercises of
our city schools, and the two of the past
week have been up to the usual high order
of these recitals and much enjoyed by
our people.
The recital Friday evening was by pp-
pills Of the different grades and was lis
tened to by large audience. Each mum
Der spoke well Of the work accomplished
from those just finishing their first year S
work to the more advanced
Miss Florence Wagner, who has a
strong hold upon her Belding friends, as
sisted, singing three numbers which great
y added to the pleasure Of the evening.
The second recital on Monday drew an
equally large house, although the evening
was exceedingly warm. This was given
by the Misses lmogene Ireland and Bea-
trice Stanton, advanced pupils Of Miss
Wagner. This is the finishing up Of Miss
Irelands musical study IN Belding and she
expects the next year to enter the New
England conservatory in Boston. Miss
Stanton has not studied as many years as
Miss Ireland, but both young ladies have
done most excellent work and gave our
people rare musical treat, assisted by
Mrs. j. E, Ferguson in Ave Marie" and
Mrs. Fred Ireland in two beautiful pipe
organ solos.
Miss Wagner can we'll congratulate
herself upon the success of her years
work, and our people in the having OF so
able musical instructor and in the large
coterie Of Young people striving to make
good record Of their opportunities.
Miss Ireland as the first to 60 out from
the number for further musical study will
take the good wishes Of large circle Of
friends who congratulate her upon the
success already achieved.
