First Violation of
Green Fruit Law
Car of Alleged Green Fruit
Shipped from WGbGssO.

]. S. Stratton, representative of the
E, r. Brackett Company was arrested
this week in Kissilnmee by Sheriff d.
S, Carlnon of this county on warrant
issued by Justice Lalne Of Sebantlan,
charged with violation OF the green
fruit law. He waived preliminary ex-
animation and gave bond for $500 to
await the action of the ST Lucie coun-
ty grand jury.
The case grew out Of the shipment
OF a carload Of grapefruit from Wabasso
on Saturday, September 10th, The
Brackett company purchased the crop
OF Mr.. w, TeJones of Wabasso and the
agent Mr.. Stratton, picked, packed
and shipped the above car 1t was inn
mediately reported TO the Florida Cit
rus Exchange that the fruit was green,
immature and unfit for consumption.
The exchange officials instructed their
Miami manager TO investigate the ship
ping end of it, while the wires we're
kept hot in the effort TO intercept the
car enroute. When it arrived in Ntw
York, the inspectors under the guild
ance o, the brokers examined and pass
ed it as good fruit, and it was sold at q
good price. Meanwhile Mr.. w. I.
Carter, the exchange manager of Mis-
ami notified Sheriff Carlton, who Sc.
cured sample of fruit from tile same
grove and forwarded affidavits Of his
own and Mr.. Jones the grove owner 10
the effect that the fruit was immature.
The sheriff Immediately proceeded to
execute the warrant issued for the ar
rest OF Mr.. Stratton.
Mr.. Jones, OF Wabasso, however is
, clear OF any accusation in the matter,
as he had sold his fruit on the trees
and the buyers were responsible for the
t shipment. He states that had he been
3 the shipper the fruit would have stayed
t on the trees for some time.
Judge f. L Hemmings has been re-
tained by the Citrus Exchange TO assist
the States Attorney in the prosecution
, OF the case, which will more than like
g ly come up in circuit court next month
:. This is the first case under the new
i green fruit law which prohibits the
/ selling, shipping, delivering or offering
s for sale Of citrus fruit which is imma
u ture or otherwise unfit for consumption
: The outcome will be watched with in
l. terest and Mr.. Carter states that wher
e Mr.. E. r. Bracket sets foot in Florids
d he will also be arrested for violation o.
a the law.

AT THE PRESCOTT
 HIGH SCHOOL

The rendering of the operetta Boy Blue" by the children and young people of the public schools, at the High School Au- ditorium last night was most creditable affair. Indeed, it was fine entertainD ent and reflects credit upon the children taking part in it and especially upon Misses Watson and Rudolph, who had it in charge, sparing neither time nor labor to make it a success.
 The acting by the children was good, the arrangement of the diff ferent parts excellent and the singing of the songs was an in spiration to everyone who heard them.
 And we are led to say right here that one of the things badly needed in our public schools is a music department. By all means let's have it. Employ a good music teacher and give the young people a musical educa- tion as well as in other lines.
 Of course let us have the de partments Of agriculture and do- nestle science and others if pos sible, but the music by all means.
 There is nothing that will have a deeper and more abiding in tluence upon the school and com munity than the teaching of music. Not only the instru. mental but the vocal also. Give the pupils work in music from the first day they enter until they graduate from the High School. It helps to develope within them a love for the high. est and best and makes their minds more useful as citizens than they otherwise could poss. ibly be.
 We greatly appreciate the music rendered upon different occasions by the orchestra, and yot this made possible only by the members devoting themsel. yes to the study and practice of music. It is easily possible to have it on a much larger scale if we would only begin at the pro. per time to teach music, and that Is when the child starts to school and then carry it right along as part of his education until he shall graduate.

POSTAL CARRIERS
IN FIRST HOLIDAY
General Order for Closing OF Of
fee Effective Yester-
day.

For the first time the Rock Island
postofnce was closed yesterday. when
the general order OF the postmaster
general was observed. General deIiv.
cry mail was delivered to those who
called between 9 and 10 o'clock. First
class mail and Sunday papers we're
placed in the various boxes which are
In use. and special delivery mail was
dispatched as usual, and all the collec-
tons were made and all mail dis
patched.
This morning the carriers reported at
the office half hour earlier than usual,
and the result was that the mail, which
was exceedingly heavy today, was de-
hvefed at an early hour by the carriers.
AS II is near the first of the month, the
mail was OF course heavier than usual,
and as it was handled with such dis
patch, it is certain that the mail on
each Monday morning will be handled
readily. Besides meeting with the ap-
prevail Of the people In general, the
order to close the Office on Sunday
gives to the carriers and some OF the
clerks one day of rest in seven.
