At meeting OF the Miami Mer-
chants Association in that city Tues
day afternoon the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
"Whereas the vegetables and fruit
growers of this section of the State
deemed it absolutely necessary to or
ganize, in order to improve existing
conditions among them, and
Whereas, a regular association has
been recently formed, with charter
membership Of one hundred and fifty
individual growers, which number has
since been increased to over three
hundred, and
whereas, in the opinion Of ma
jority OF the merchants Of Miami, who
think that an organization OF this
character, will not only help those who
are engaged In agricultural pursuits
but it will materially advance the in
teresls Of every merchant, mechanic,
professional man, and others whose
success depends upon the prosperity OF
this city and surroundings therefore be
it.
"Resolved, that the Miami Mer-
chants Association, as whole, and
every member therein, individually,
do everything possible for the encour-
agement of the East Coast Fruit and
Vegetable Growers Association Be it
further,
Resolved that our members be re-
commended to join the aforesaid associ-
alton and tender their influence to the
same"

KEEP UP PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Who will Pay Dollar a Month
To Such a Fund.-

The good start made in the improve
ment Of the city park has convinced
every one that Fort Pierce can have a
pretty park at comparatively small
cost. The grounds are in picturesque
location and need only the necessary
work to transform them into a lovely
resort. The start has been made and
the appearance has already been inn
proved several hundred per cent. This
work should not stop from lack Of
funds to carry it on and we believe it
can be continued with very little cost
to the individuals.
The plan suggested is that every
business man and citizen interested in
thepark subscribe one dollar permonth
to have the work continued. The sum
thus secured would put good man on
the ground to work every day, clean
ing up and keeping the park in shape.
This work, of course, to continue un-
der the direction Of the Town Improve
ment Committee Of the Boosters Club.
Now, how many citizens of Fort
Pierce will put their names down for
ore dollar month ? We are not act
ing as agent of the Boosters in this,
but we feel sure that they will gladly
accept the coin to assist in the work.
This is a purely voluntary move and no
soliciting will be done, soft you want
to 90 on record as helping IN the move
ment send us your name and we will
notify the club Of your intention Here
is the first name. Who will follow?

COMMISSION TRICKS

Everybody's Magazine Exposedthe
Tricks of the Dishonest Com.

In recent number Everybody's
Magazine handled the dishonest COM
mission man in its usual fearless
fashion, and the last number contains
several letters, relating to experiences
with these sharks Of the business
world. In the course OF one of these
letter contributor from Indian River
says:
"Allow me to thank you for the ar
ticle in the June Everybody's, in re-
gard TO the tricks Of the produce COM
mission men.
VI am small grower of both Or
anges and pineapples. The tricks of
the men to whom have consigned
fruit are almost too crude and anti
quated to continue In use; but the
commission men know that it will not
pay me to 60 into coart, and so run
the risk.
sit is not only the small commission
house that does these things, but also
and especially-the larger houses.
lone of the new devices is to buy on
the so-called I. o. D., or lin transit
basis. This leads the growers to think
that he will be paid for his fruit as it is
received on the cars Ut the shipping
point,
"As a matter of fact, the fruit is sold
and the returns made up after the sale
and then the commission man, who is
buying (. o. b. deducts the freight from
the net price and sends the account
accordingly.

to remedy this fraud against the grow

made profitable both as to the grower
and to the railroad, 3 kF
IF the millions OF dollars that are
stolen each year by the cities could be
turned back to the growers, the
railways along whose lines the produc-
originated would eventually receive
at least one-quater Of the money in the
form of frieghts and passenger fares
from the more prosperous farmers
"But so long as the railways are
managed from Wall street, it is not
likely that the officers of the companies
will take any special interest in the
