CITRUS EXCHANGE :
CLOSED A VERY
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
OBTAINED HIGH PRICE FOR
GROWERS.

The seasons business just clos
ed by the Florida Citrus Ex-
change, which marks the fourth
year of it's existence, has been
the most profitable to the citrus
growers of Florida since it's in
ception.
Up until June LIST, the Ex-
change had handled 1,777014
boxes of citrus fruit, which av-
eraged, f. o. b., Florida, for or
anges, $1.96; for grapefruit,
$2.01, and for tangerines, $1.92;
and Notwithstanding the disas-
trous decay period between De-
cember 9Th until about January
10th, the total average of decay
for all these shipments was but
1926 per cent.
The distribution of our fruit
for the past season has been
greatly extended over previous
years, selling both oranges and
grapefruit from Portland, Ore
gon, to Portland, Maine, and in
all territory from the Lakes to
the Gulf.
Our advertising campaign that
we have carried on for the past
two years, as we'll as the better
packing and grading of our fruit,
accomplished these desired re-
suits.
We take great pride in laying
these facts before the citrus
growers of Florida, and feel war
ranted in making the statement
that we are better equipped
than ever before for handling
large volume of fruit and the
more fruit we handle, the better
showing can be made.
We believe these figures pre-
sented will appeal to the judg-
ment of our growers who are
not affiliated with the Exchange
and point out to them the fact
that they should be in this or
ganization. Final results are
what count.
If any outside growers did not
receive these prices for their
fruit. Why?
The Florida Citrus Exchange
yesterday refunded approx
mately $4,000 to the growers
affiliated with this organization,
which represents three cents per
box in excess of what it cost to
handle their business.

would open to let forth the Little
Heiress and the shfrtfront with which
she had agreed to dance. AS a rule
she looked very little and like child
against the man with whom she was
dancing, and when it was time to tell
him that she could not sit out the
next dance with him in the conserva-
tory she had to turn up her face to
him to do so. And then she looked
so little, and so sweet and enticing,
just the way a pansy looks, that, as
one man, the phalanx ground its
teeth.

who owned the face thought it was

for hospitality received, or any rea-
son as good, it was his duty to ask
her to dance, he asked her; when it
was not his duty, he didn't. "He

A SpARK-MAKING ALLOY

TT is curious fact that when seventy per
cent. of cerium is alloyed with thirty per
cent. of iron, the metal thus produced pos
sesses the remarkable property of giving off
a shower of sparks when struck lightly by a
steel wheel
This substance has been used for making
auto-igniters for gas burners, miners acety-
lene lamps, and cigar lighters. 1t has been
proposed to utilize it for igniting motor head
lights, and even to employ it as a substitute
for electric ignition in the cylinders.

FARMING HERE
IS.PROBABLE

Indications point to provisions for
a farm ~demonstrator for Henderson
county at no distant date and as a re-
suit of the activities of the Greater
Hendersonville club along this line 1t
is believed by those interested in the
movement that the people and especi-
ally the farmers in this section will
be sufficiently awakened to the i'm
~portance of such an undertaking.
1t is understood that the cost to
each county is only $500 per year for
the farmers cooperative demOnstra-
ton work, in which the county, state.
and government combine their efforts
ia the promotion of agricultural pur-
suits.
At the meeting of the Greater Hem
Jacksonville club Thursday night the
subject of farm demonstration work
was discussed to@some extent, follow
ing the reading of a communication
from State Agent G. r. Hudson with
reference to the nature of the work
and the cooperation provided by the
state and government.As result of the
discussion President Wilcox APP
pointed the following committee for
the purpos of stimulating further in
terest in favor of the demonstration
work: P. f. Patton, Jonathan Case,
A. Cannon. T. w. Valentine, s. M.
Gillian, II. c.. Meyer.
This committee will make further
investigations of the improved system
of farming and meanwhile will en-
deavor to enlist the cooperation of
the Farmers Cooperative and Edu-
cational unions of Henderson county.
This task having been accomplished
it is highly probable that the county
commissioners will then be petition
ed to support the movement.
The work is cooperative between.
the state and national departments
of agriculture and the county getting
such service. The work is carried on
by employing a competent farmer
and having him locate in the county
and give instructions and demonstra-
tons in the most approved methods
of farming.
Fifty counties in the state r un-
derstood to have such service and
are making splendid progress in bet
ter methods of agriculture.
The Greater Hendersonville club is
of the opinion that a few acres of
land near the city could be used to
excellent advantages in demonstrating
to visitors the suitableness of the
soil for raising fruits, vegetables, etc,
work could be materially aid
ed by latest methods in cooperative
farm demonstration work:

C0UNTY'S $500
ADVERTISING
DEBT PROBED

AS v-1ce-PresIdent ". A. Smith of
the Greater Western North Carolina
association expresses it, Henderson
county's advertising debt to the or
g%anization is getting to be a matter
of extreme modification"
The question of the county's paying
the debt of $500, half the amount of
last years assessment, came up for
discussion at the last meeting of the
Greater Hen~dersonville club and after
several views had been expressed it
was decided to bring the matter up at
the next banquet of the club, but
meanwhile the following committee
will see what can b edone in regard
to the matter: X. G. Morris, H. G..
Meyer, T. r. Barrows.
1t is highly probable that the coun-
ty commissioners will be invited to
the next banquet with the view to ia
vorably presenting to them the ben
efits said to be derived from the ac-
tivities of the Greater Western North
Carolina association.

f1ourishing condition and the district
will show gratifying gains at the
grand lodge meeting to be held in
Winston-Salem in June.
The ~Tahkeeostee lodge at Fletcher

be held is one of exceptional strength
when the location is taken into con-
s~ideration. 1t was organized six
years ago, has about seventy-ive
members and it's meetings are always
featured with a quorum of members.
Contributing greatly to the success
of the lodge have been the entertain
ments furnished the public about
twice each year by its members. APP
p~roximately 800 is spent annually by
the lodge in furnishing free enter
tainments, a feature of which are in

largely attended and a good attend
ance from the counties embraced is

 New York. Oct. 4.--Miss Singleton the young woman who yesterday charged Herman Oelrichs. the son of the millionaire. with stabbing her while out auto riding. late this afternoon changed her mind and signed an affi. davit prepared by the Oelrichs lawyers to the effect that she received the cuts in her breast by being thrown through the glass windshield of the car just as described by young Oelrichs.
 This will probably end the case SD far as the police are concerned as there are apparently no witnesses to the affair and as the girl preferred the charge in the first place and now has withdrawn it no action will be taken. It is still thought, however that the whole story has never been given to the police by either party.
