The present unexampled solicitude
, of the fruit jobbers' trust for the 1nan-
cial welfare of the independent fruit
growers is entirely too belated to be
credited with any large degree OF phi
lanthropy or altruism. Time was-and
that but short time ago-when all
growers were independent-that is,
each operated individually and was
easy picking for the commission
just enough returns for their produce
to keep soul and body together. and
sometimes not TINT much The city
buyers were banded together to quote
II price for given shipment of prod
uce and then notify all members of
the clique what that price was, and
the victim could wait until he got
black In the face, but he would get no
better offer. In time growers woke up
and realized how they had been hood
winked and swindled. They are now
organized. and organized effectively
enough SO that they are beginning to
get fairly decent treatment from those
who formerly plundered them at will
Some dissatisfaction has been felt b
members of some growers associations
with prices received. and these are bs

Horseshoes.

There we're horseshoes as far
back as history can take us, but
they were not iron ones fastened biz
nails to the hoof. When such shoes
first came into use will probably
never be known. The ancient horse
shoes-those used by the Creeks
Romans and others-were plates
covering the entire bottom of the
foot and fastened by throngs fixed
about the animals ankle. The old
est horseshoe nails found by an
