.EXCHANGENfWS NOTES
ON GOODWIN'S WORK

Over 100, 900 crates of pines signed
up last Monday. Goodwin says he will
not rest till 900, 900 are signed up.
Growers get busy! Don't leave it to
one man to do all the work for the pine
apple growers!
Get your neighbor in line. Do it now.
When you see brokers' men down
here at an average expense OF $500
per day: two of them mean $500 per
day, $l19. 90 per week; remember that
the firm that employees them only adj
vances that money. You will have to
pay it if you ship your crop to them
next season.
It seems to be a good argument, "to
wait till next Spring before signing up
with the exchange but-if you wait till
next Spring to see what is accomplish
ed by the Exchange it will be impOssi-
BILE to get together in time to save US,
and the brokers and commission men
can do to us as they did last year.
Do distributors distribute? If so,
why all those gluts last year.
How can you account for the clear
markets where our fruit was marketed
at a net profit to some of the specula
tors of over $2OO.OO per car when we
got almost nothing. IT,,
At the meeting of the Board of direc
tors of the E. C. F. v. G. Association
the Railway officials were shown &C
count sales taken promiscously of com
plete crops all along the line from Vik
| ING to Miami numbering GO. 600 crates
that Melted the growers less than g.
cents average.
Growers wake up! Don't you see yo'
are up against it, If you do not chang
your methods? ;.
What is Goodwin getting out Of it
Mr.. w. C. Temple one of the Board o
Directors of the Exchange volunteers
to help the growers of the East Coas
BY guaranteeing 5000 for Goodwin
expenses including the trip to Tampa
Goodwin has spent more than that a
ready, and stands ready to spend NOR
in the interest of the pineapple grower
of the East Coast.

perintendents of the State, warning
them against this individual
We thoroughly investigated the facts
and found them to be as above stated.
We very much regret that upon the
very closest examination we are un.
able to learn of any statute that will
apply to this particular kind of fraud,
hence we are unable to find true bill
in this case.
In view of this deficiency in our law
we hereby request our county superin-
tendent Of public instruction to consult
with the State superintendent of public
instruction and take steps to have
law offered for action by the next
legislature, making it an offense to OBJ:
tain by any false representation or
false impersonation teachers certiti-
cate from any educational board in the
State.
A committee from this body visited
the Fort Pierce school building and
found fair Accommodations for the pres
ent attendance. On the first floor
there is plenty of room, but upstairs
there are vacant seats in each room for
but one to three additional scholars.
As an immediate winter increase of en-.
rollment is certain our school authOri..
ties face a severe handicap for lack OF
room. AS the grounds are totally in
adequate for school purposes, and are
improperly located we recommend that
immediate steps be taken by the prop
erly constituted authorities to obtain a
commodOus lot properly located for the
erection of suitable fireprOOf building
that will fulfill the needs of Fort Pierce
and St. Lucie county as a common and
high school building for years to come.
We suggest that this be done from
funds raised by bonding the Fort Pierce
sub-school district.
We notice that our new court house
is being built very close to the north
line of the lot. We suggest that our
county commissioners endeavor to Sc
cure strip of land adjoining the north
line so as to give more cOmmodious
lot, give the new county court house a
more fire proof character and giving 1t
more dignity and stateliness.
We desire to express our cOmmenda.
ton of our county commissioners ana
those in charge, for the satisfactory
progress being made in the erection OF
this, our most important county build
ing.
Realizing the Importance of our fish
and game as an asset to our people, we
feel the Importance of fair and i'm
partial enforcement of the laws bearing
on this subject. We therefore recon.
mend the county commissioners, that
as long as there is no regular fish and
game warden, our sheriff be provided
with sufficient and adequate funds as
provided by the statute for the enforce
ment of these laws.
Our attention has been called to the
neglect of several justices of the peace
in not sending commitment paper with
prisoners sent up to our county. jail.
This neglect entails great deal OF EN-,
barrassment and trouble to the grand,
Jury. We ask that in the future all
justices pay strict attention to this
fOrmality.
We desire to express our apprecla-
ton of the courtesies extended to US
by our worthy Judge Minor 5. Jones
and to our States Attorney, John G..
Jones. who has so ably assisted US in
our deliberations.

by the Florida Citrus Exchange to
handle the citrus fruit of this state
much less the plredpples. In Calfor-
mia the Citrus exchange has practically
no competItition in Citrus matters eX-
cept from Florida, but will they be
able to stop the Cuban and Porto Rican
competition on pineapples?
Eliminate or largely eliminate the
home competition, by letting your fruit
come to our association which has
proven its ability and integrity, and
conditions will be at once greatly i'm
proved.
Join with the movement for securing
lower freight rates, which we are en-
titled to, and work with the East Coast
Fruit and Vegetable Association which
was formed for this purpose, but don't
plan to put your fruit in competition
with itself in market, by patronizing
any other marketing agency, than our
association.
Are you quite sure the California
Citrus exchange has made the success
full showing for the grower that is so
much talked of? Have you had any
direct report from the grower to this
effect. Are you aware that the finest
crops out of California are not handled
by the exchange? Are yon aware that
prompt actual returns to the grower
are not promised by the Florida or Cali
fornia Citrus Exchange and that under
this system pooling is done, by the
day, week, or several weeks together
and that evidence from California is to
the effect that growers get part pay
ments on account but most times walt
long time for final settlement, and
that good sales reported to encourage
growers may be swallowed up in the
pooling finally by disastrous sales.
Mr.. X. l.. Goodwin is comparatively
new man. By the way it, is fair to
ask, who is paying him for this organi-
cation work? He is assusedly not do
ing it solely on philanthropy.
Will he allow us to publish the net
results ma,,v for him the past season,
with statement of his shipments and
tell of his changes from year to year
in his marketing of his fruit, sticking
to no system or plan? We did not

Iha Middle hiorsa.

A farmer. blowing with three horses
hitched abreast. noticed that the mid
die horse became tired and exhausted
long before either OF it's mates. As
the animal was the equal In every
way OF the other two. he was puzzled
as 60 the cause OF It's not being able
e. stand the same amount OF work
He finally observed. however. that ms
they drew the plow along the three
horses held their noses close togeth-
er. with the result that the middle
horse was compelled 10 breathe the ex-
pired air from Its fellows. The farmer
then procured a long Jockey" stick.
which he fastened with straps 20 the
bits OF the outside horses. The device
worked perfectly. for. given its right.
full share OF good. fresh air. the mid
die horse was able TO do the same
amount OF work and with no create.
fatigue than Its fellows.
Many persons are like the middle
horse-they do not get their rightful
share OF pure air. And this Is why
they are not able 10 perform as much
work nor OF as good n quality rs they
would otherwise be able TO do.-Chi-
