RETURNED FROM TAMPA

Mr.. T. c. Chambliss has returned
from Tampa, where he attended the
big meeting of the officers and mem
bers OF the Florida Citrus Exchange
and boosted 1T for all he was worth
Mr.. Chambliss says the meeting was
well attended, and those who were
not members enrolled their names as
such before leaving. They promised,
also, to see their friends and impress
upon them the necessity Of joining. Mr.
Temple told Mr.. Chambliss that the ex-
change had been big success as
selling factor. but the patronage had
been poor and its future success would
depend entirely on the support of the
growers. Its officers and members are
going TO strain every nerve this year
to make it a financial success. If the
growers rally to its support it will
succeed. but il they do not, after the
coming season 1t will have to suspend
and this would be one of the greatest
salamities the citrus growers of Flor
ida could have befall them.

SMALL TORNADO AT LYNNE

Thursday morning while it was rain
ing so hard in Ocala, small tornado
visited the Lynne section. The "twis-

a quarter of mile in width, several
miles further on, where we heard of
the last damage done by the wind. A
small out-building at the corner of the
garden was torn bodily to pieces, and
the boards, timbers and shingled scat
tered for over a quarter of a mile.
Large squash vines were torn up by

destroyed. Small oak trees were twist
