A resolution was passed to request
the Florida East Coast railroad to re-

vigorously pushed.

COUNTY COURT OPENS
TUESDAY, AUGUST 10

The first session of the County Court,
established by the last legislature, will
convene in Fort Pierce, Tuesday, Aug
ust 10th, with County Judge Frederick
l.. Hemmings, presiding, and Otis R.
Parker prosecuting attorney.
The list of jurymen have been sum-
moned by Sheriff Carlton, and is as fol.
lows: J. H. Painter, James Britt, J. H.
Baker, II. II. Hancock, W. j. Grice,
J. b. Hicks, j. X. Chambers, Perry
Carlton, W. l.. Franz, j. H. Winter,
AXeI Hallstrom and ID. c. Cox.
A long docket will come before this
first term of court, as the county Jail
now contains about twenty prisoners,
many of whom will answer to the charge
against them before the county court,
while several will go before the special
term Of the Circuit Court, called for
the first Tuesday in September, or the
regular term Of that court the third
Tuesday in September.
1t is to be hoped that this term of
court will be successful in emptyng
the county Jail, thus stopping the
enormous expense of feeding this
large number of prisoners.

GROWERS ENLIST IN
ORGANIZED EFFORTS

Pursuant to the call issued by the st.
Lucie county directors of the East Coast
Fruit and Vegetable Growers Associa-
ton, a meeting of producers was held
in the Fort Pierce Improvement Club
hall. Monday, August End, and was at
tended by l25 growers of st. Lucie
county, who showed an enthusiastic
interest in organization of the growers
of this section. One hundred and ff-
teen had their names enrolled as men,
bers of the local branch of the associa-
ton. r. i. Goodwin, p. c. Eldred and
others explained the constitution and
purposes of the association, and the
hopes of the organizers for the benefit
of the producers. The meeting demon.
strated that the growers are thoroughly
interested, and while the present step
is only the beginning for the end to be
sought, the track is oiled for complete
organization of the growers for their
mutual benefit. An effort is being
made to secure the presence of State
organizer Red in Fort Pierce sometime
during the latter part of the month,
notice of which will probably appear in
our next issue,

The song re ctal given in the In
provement Club hall last Friday even
ing, by Miss Lena Conkling was
thoroughly appreciated by the small
but enthusiastic audience which had
gathered to greet her on that occasion.
Her audience would have been much
larger if given at any other time of the
year, for so many of our people who
appreciate classical music are away in
the mountains for the heated term.
Miss Conkling possesses a sweet, rich
soprano voice of high and clear range,
and was always under perfect control.
The program consisted of eleven num-
bers, many of which were double, and
in each one Miss COnkling charmed and
captivated her audience by the wealth
of music in her voice. Her assistant
AMI piano accompanyist, Miss Anita
Canova, is a musician of rare ability,
and also charmed the audience by her
perfect renditiOns. Two of her solos
on the program were changed to Duets
and participated in by the well-known
pianist of Fort Pierce, Miss Ruth Al
derman. Miss Conkling left Sunday
morning for her home at Tillman, while
Miss Canova remained in town until
Tuesday before departing for her home
at Rockledge.

stress.

When making the plain circular or gore
skirts finish the top of the skirt first,
and put 1t on the band, then fold band,
pin together and hang for at least a day
before trimming and finishing bottom
The hanging stretches the seams and pre-
vents the skirt from sagging after it is
worn.
When using cloth covered buttons on
wash dresses do not sew them on as they
do not iron well, but fasten on under side
with a small safety pin, and when the
dress it to be washed remove the buttons.
string them on a thread, and after scrub
bling and rinsing hang up to dry.
II long tight sleeves are made OF wash
goods be sure to shrink the goods before
ewing, or if that is not desirable allow
an extra seam for shrinking, and then
run the second seam in by hand to make
the sleeve fit snug. Before washing re-
move this hand sewing, and after sleeve
is washed 1t will be just right.
When braiding on delicate fabric have
the stamping done on the under side, then
trace 1t with a running stitch with fine
thread, and follow this when applyinB
the braid. This is a little more work, but
prevents soil from the stamping chalk or

$HONE NOTESpSOCIALGOSSIFS
Rushing Season at Heighth
With Local Sorority Girls

Rushing season has come-that Is, the
more obvious manifestations OF It have.
As a matter Of fact rushing has been ad-
mirably systematized and there Is method
in Il from start to finish. To the unini-
tiated the local alumna is the most amaz-
ingly gracious creature OF which she has
ever known. Such attentions as the High
schoo girl graduate receives from this
experienced one who, having been through
college. is so solicitous for her who ex-
poets to enter this fall. But, poor little
high school girl, how much she has still
to learn.
Systematic rushing began among local
sorority members early in July, when,
armed with a list Of desirable possible
members, they went forth in twos and
threes to call on the "Tushees," girls who
will 90 off to college this fall and who
will make desirable "~actives." Having
impressed the "rushee" with this first
step, a more active campaign begins. The
game has Just now reached this stage. and
during the coming month the desirable one
will be entertained at least once a week
by the designing ones who would claim
her for their own. With at least half a
dozen active alumnse associations in town,
the state in which the desirable" girl
finds herself by the close Of the month
can be readily imagined, However. she
will have gained wisdom from it all and
30 be more tit for making the most Of
the final rush, which comes the week be-
fore the state university opens next
September. Tho middle of August will
bring a budget Of parties for this siren
uous week the invitations usually going
out at least six weeks In advance. OF
course, unless a rushee has an override
veloped sense Of honor and has her mind
made up which sorority she will join, she
accepts every invitation she can and makes
the most Of her opportunity until she is
actually pledged.
And then she must come back to earth
again. She recognizes that local alumna
for just what she is, but she has nc
further choice. once more she drops back
10 the place of Just an ordinary gtrl-that
Is, when she is not even less, for the
lot of the freshman in the chapter is MOI
enviablo aid its chief compensation al
times is the fact that she is a full Pledged
sorority girl.
