BUYERS REPORT THAT
FLORIDA CATTLE BEST

&. NJ. Grace, chief cattle buyer
of the Miller Brothers, lOl Ranch.
in Oklahoma, speaking of Florida as
a cattle State, said:
81 have been here since March
buying and shipping cattle for the
Miller Brothers.
"In the five months | have been
here we have shipped about $4,000
head of cattle and have bought about
10000 moro already bought and
ready to be shipped.
"Your cattle in Florida are the
best of any in the United States. Tn
saying that, mean that they are
better proportioned. They are small
and clean limbed. II crossed with
another breed the very best results
would be obtained. | should advise
the crossing of your native cattle
with Poll Angus.
"In other words" continued Mr..
Grace, FLORIDA beef would be the
highest on the market and would
bring 81 more on the hundred
pounds than any other beef.
Cattle shipped from here at the
age of six years will after one year
on our ranges, increase 200 pounds
in one year, while yearling will
attain weight OF 1000 pounds
within three years. From my obser-
walton while here in Florida | can
see that the cattle are not getting
enough salt. This Is very neces-
sary for them and largely helps in
keeping them up Your grass here
is, Of course, nutritious, but not good
for fattening. You can grow red
clover here to the very best of ad.
vantage. have noticed this about
the cattle pens where sprouts have
sprung up, and. being a very pro-
life plant, 1t rapidly spreads. One
peculiar feature about cattle is that
they will only feed on tender grasses.
In other words, II you have ever no
ticed them, they are constantly 60
Ing over the same ground, keeping
the herbage closely cropped to the
ground and avoiding the grass that
has grown up ans become old and
tough.
"You have better facilities in this
State for raising cattle than any
other place IL the Union. But" con.
cludcd Mr.. Grace, "the breed should
BIZ improved, and attention given to
the raising of proper grasses for

their candidates Of their nomination,
the campaign is on full blast, Tam

fired the opening gun of his party IN

Tammany will win out next month
The odds on Mitchell have tiehtened
considerably within the past few
weeks. His supporters are now ask

The suffragists are preparing Tor
the visit of Mrs. Emeline Pankhurst'
who is due to arrive here during the

divided over the visit of Mrs. Pank-

advocates of votes for women. There
are those who say they will oppose
any effort to display the tactics used
by the English militants, even Tor

the ENGLISH leader say that she does
not intend to do anything violent
or unlawful, and ask that she be
given a chance to demonstrate what
she will do before she is attacked.

GEORGE, chancellor of the exchequer,
inaugurates his great land campaign
NJ Bedford today. He will recon-
mend chiefly the adoption of small
holdings cultivated by the tenant oc-
cupiers. this tenancy system being
safeguarded BY land courts. He will
also propose reforms in the condition
of AGRICULTURAL laborers, fewer hours
of work, more holidays and institu-

SITUATION GRAVE
IN MEXICO
(By Associated Press !

Washington, Oct. IL The ad
ministration considers the situation
now in Mexico the gravest since
Huerta became the provisional pres
ident. His arrest of members of the
Mexican congress, followed by sus-
pension of congress, stirred anxiety
in official circles here. President
Wilson is studying the situation but
hasn't announced the attitude the
United States will take. The action
of Huerta Is similar to that Of Diaz
1t looks as If he Is trying to make
himself dictator. The United
States will probably increase the ma
val force at Vera Cruz.

TEST CASE To
SETTLE VALIDITY
Of ELECTION
LAKELAND'S COMMISSION FORM
WILL BE TAKEN TO STATES
HIGHEST COURT
Friendly Suit Will Be Instituted to
Settle Controversy as to Legal
Points Involved

The City Council held q meeting
last night to W hich the newly y-elect-
ed commissioners were invited. to
discuss matters in connection with
the status Of the recent election on
the commission form Of government.
The Council canvasseh the returns
of the election and declared it to be
regularly held, and announced the
result in accordance with the re-
turns.
! Mr.. Kelsey Blanton. city attorney,
made lengthy statement. the bur-
den of which was that proper pro-
vision for change from the council
manic to the commission form of
government had not been made. and
that the election as authorized and
called could not be effective in es-
tablishing the commission govern
ment.
Attorney A. X. Erickson was Of
the opinion that everything neces-
sary to establish the commission
form had been done, but thought 1t
advisable to have the supreme court
pass upon the matter and thus set
1t at rest.
Attorneys Epps Tucker and Lawler
were also Of the opinion that it was
to the best interests of all the citi-
2ens that the controversy be settled
by the highest authority Mt the earl
lest possible date, so that the matter
might be set at rest, thus avoiding
future complications.
1t was after much discussion,
finally agreed that the best method
of getting the question before the
courts would be for the mayor to call
the regular annual election for q
Mayor and four councilmcn, as pro.
vided by the charter. The commis-
sioners will then bring friendly
suit enioining this election, the mat
ter can go before the supreme court
in December and can be settled be-
fore Jan. l. the date when a change
Of administration snouId occur. At
that time, II the court decides In fav-
or of the com nissioners, they can as,
sumo the reins of government; II
their decision is adverse, then the
Council as elected will be ORGANIZED
and the commission form will have
to await a later election.
The proceedings are simply for the
purpose Of finally settling the va
lidity of the plan Of commission gov
ernment as recently voted. and
should be, and doubtless will be, con-
Quoted in the most amicable spirit.
The Council will hold another
meeting Monday night for the pur.
pose Of hearing the plans Of attor.
neys on both sides, who in the mean.
time will decide in conference as to
whether the matter be brought into
court by Injunction, mandamus
quo warranto proceedings.
