THE WAR NOT OVER

(Fruit Grower. Nov. Is, 1o11.)
Well, said Mr.. Hennessey, 1 think
the Crane frute orange war Is aboute
over
There where you make yure mis-
take. said Mr. Dooley, Gineril Sher-
man wanst said.
War is hell,
An I've ony begun TO 1ite
See that yure powther is KEEP fully
dhry,
Put none but Amuricans on guard to-
mite"
4 CRATE pote was the gineril
II you name that the green frute
orange war in Floriday is over you
may be rite. Timple has called of
the dogs OF law an hees goin' TO let
the fellows go that's arristed but tbs
the paple Of the north that's goin' to
carry on the green frute war.
Hows that, says you? Faith look
at the market reports. I've here IN
me han a skedoodle Of the sales at
Philidelphy A lad from Already sinds
a car there an It's reported game an
sour an he recaves less thin 81 a
box for it, shown that the Quakers
know thing or two. Wild frate, pack
in charges an commission out, how
much is left for the grower? Think
II over The same day Timple sells
a car at Cleveland an what do they
do to that car? 'Tis ripe be faith and
1t brings $3.50 box. That's the an
taer. 'Tis the paple themselves
that's carryin' on the war. The buy
er is no longer an asy mark Bedad
it's himself that's lookin' fer q mark;
the mark on the box.
Is the Exchange shippin' Crane
frute? Not eff Timple knows it. Did
ye rade his letther to the associa-
tons? Ye did not. Well here ut is.
Fellow growers, says he. The other
lads may be shippin' out Crane frute
oranges but don't let me ketch you
dom It, The Exchange is advertiser
to ship but the best frute an II any
grower among you insists that bees
frute must be packed now, regard
less of whether it is immature or
not immature, don't take it an ef
you do take it have 1t culled out at
this end or be the powers I'll have
1t culled out at the other end. Do
you get that. Twill be chaper TO
throw thin out here then to pay frate
and thin an have thin thrown out
there. Take yure choice. Forgive me
fer tellin' you this but clout In time
saves nine an maybe tin. We ad-
vertise in the paypers that We ship
nothin' but guide frute an nothin' but
guide frute goes; pat that in yure pipe,
says he, we will not stand for the
shipmint of sour frute.
VIII 1t stop the Crane frute orange
| shipments? Faith l dunno. The lad
in charge of the association ez In
hard place. A grower cumes to him
an he says, Jimmy l want to move
me oranges says he. Are they ripe
says Jimmie. Faith theys green an
rather sour but theys eZ ripe eZ the
frute Ketchem is shippin' fer me
| neighbor, says he; I made the money
says he. an the fros' may git me lat
er, says he, an I'm goin' to pick now
says he. Ye can't pick eff the frute ez
| Immature says Jimmie, l have in
| me han a letter frim Tfmple that
says so, says he. What do you care
for Timple says the man, who gave
, We the job here? says he, wuznt it
my vote put you in here says he, an
be faith eff you don't take me frute
twill be my vote that'll put you out
says he Jimmie is in an ipsie dixie
OF a fix. More likely he'll take the
frute in hang an to the job an thin
it'll be up to Timple.
They'll come a tilligraft to Tlmple
from Philadelphy saytn,' car frum
Jimmie's association all sour, whatll

Call the police an have 1t condim-
med. Offer no frute in the box wild
