"Florida should be the sugar state
of the nation," says the PUNTA
GoRDA HERALD. 'Ideal climatic
conditions and natural advantages
should bring this about. 1t only
remains for intelligent efforts per-
sisted in, and the influencing of
capital to cooperate therein by
providing the refneries, to make
the production of sugar one of the
chief industries of the state" !"
The splendid results obtained by
those who plant sugarcane in Flor
ida go to prove that Editor Jor-
dan is right, and it must be only a
matter of time when men with cap
ital realize the opportunity for in
vestment in sugar-making plants.

For sometime Punta Gorda has
had the lead on fish stories, but
the latest yarn coming ont of that

States, it is evident that there will
be a shortage of oranges in North
America, and the consumer will
pay big prices.
This ought to result in large
increase in the wealth of the or
ange growers of this state. 1t
costs no more to cultivate high
priced crop than low-priced one,
and the transportation charges are
no greater on one than on the 9th
er. The orange grower will get
as net gain all the money that
comes from the higher prices ex-
cept what goes to the middle man.
The middle man is always able to
take care of himself, and the grow
ers should see that he does not
gobble up the eUtire gain from
higher prices.
Oranization, or ut least coopera-
tion will be necessary If our peo-
pie would secure the best possible
results. If they do not secure
such results it will be their fault.
Twenty ears ago the orange
was almost the only paying crop
in Florida. The people were al
most entirely dependent on or
ange growing. Now the orange
is only one of the many resources
of the state. 1t is not even the
greatest one.
1t took q great calamity to set
the people free. With oranges al
most the only product of the soil
of the greater part of Florida, the
destruction of the groves nineteen
years ago looked for time like
the ruin of the entire peninsular
section of the state. But look at
it now the most prosperous sec
tion of the entire countryl
The orange groves might be
destroyed again, and Florida still
be rich. The prosperity of this
state is now SO broadly founded
that the future is one of brightness
unc!ouded by fear.
But the orange is still one of
Florida's chief sources of wealth,
and the prospect Of that happy
combination, large crop and COOL
prices, is one that adds to the feel
ng of optimism that lends vigor
and energy to the efforts of our
people. 1t will insure Floridians
against the depression that threat
ms to prevail in other parts Of the
United States. Jacksonville

agriculture, has named the four in
spectors of citrls fruit under the
new green fruit law and it is up
to them, aided by the Florida Cit
rus exchange and such other agen-
cies as may desire the betterment
of fruit crop conditions IN Florida
to see that the law is enforced.
The inspectors are: j. w.
Knight, Floral City; w. J. Ed
wards, Ocala; j. B. Pylant, Bar
tow; N. o. Perry, Vero.
An interview in the Florida
Grower tells of one of the inspec-
tors views as to the enforcement
of the law and is interesting in
that it shows his idea of the way
the law should be enforced. 1t
follows:
81 had the pleasure of meeting
M. Knight this week and had
\ quite chat with him regarding
the law and his duties. He i'm
presses me as being man who
will do his duty as he sees it, re-
gardless of the consequences, and
as man who did not care much
what the consequences were. He
quite realizes the importance and
difficulties of the position and has
been giving much thought to them.
He thinks that his greatest prob
lem will be to determine just when
fruit is one-half colored, this be-
ing placed there by Representa-
tive Taylor of Pinellas county,
and accepted by the standard folks
as a compromise clause, though
realizing at the same time that it
weakened the law.
"Mr. Knight stated that he had
met with all of the other inspectors
except Mr.. Perry; that they all i'm
pressed him as men who would not
be blufed, and who would do their
duty. 1t is realized that Mr.. Py-
liant has the hardest job in the
toughest territory, all other pack
ers seeming to be willing to obey
the law to the best of their knowl-
edge except those around Arcadia,
the green fruit hotbed.
II asked. Mr.. Knight what he
would do in case he found fruit in
house that showed less than one
half color, IN his judgment! He
said that he would apply the test,
and if the fruit did not meet it
that it would be seized. then
asked him If in case he was refus-
ed admission to a packing house,
if he had authority under the law
to enter by force, and he said that
he did not, that he would ask the
local authorities for a warrant and
assistance in serving the same.
"ihe question was put to Mr..
Knight that if a case should occur
where suspected fruit was packed,
loaded and shipped, could he stop
this car aud examine it anywhere
en- route9 and he said that he or
any other inspector undoubtedly
could and wonld." s'Of course" {
said Mr.. Knight, II cannot be (
everywhere at once and shall have
to depend npon those who want to {
see the law enforced for informa- i
tion as to such cases. These friends I
need not appear in the prosecution I
of case Gf it ever came to that
we only want to know where we
can catch the car, and we will do {
our best to do it. In these cases I
will be at the point
where the fruit will be seized, and /
not where the shipment originat- i

The telegram inside the envelope has more to say regard ing friedliness and hospitality. The name of the guest. naturally. is to be written on the outside of the envelope. Two dozen of these te1egrarns in box are sold for 75 cents Little letters are also sold for place cards The envel- opes have 8 slip of transparent paper through the center. like the envel- opes used by some business firms. and the name written on card within the envelope shows through the transpar- ent paper. A riddle printed on the card also shows through the paper, and the answer to the riddle is printed at the top of the card, to, be read when 1t is taken from the envelope.

Belpful. Beauty Calk


pfaHE tall woman in particular is ad- vised by hatrdressers to pay spe- ciaI attention to her coiffure as her height seems to accentuate any mis- take that may be made and to reveal defects that are not so apparent in the case of her shorter sister.
 First. there is the line of the neck to be studied with great attention. Should this be very short and without that graceful, swan1ike outline which is of the tall woman, then the coinure should be arranged at a medium height, just below the crown of the head. This style of coiffure often gives greater dignity to the short necked woman than one dressed quite low at the back.
 At the present moment there Is a charming arrangement for the tall wo- man whose lines from the back of the hair to neck are not as perfect as might be wished.
 This arrangement is in the form of the torsade, a loosely twisted and waved coiffure on the lines Of the 6g- ure 8. The summit of the torsade shows from the front of the hair, which is also waved, and the general lightness and yet compactness of the coifure seems to conceal any. defects in the line of the neck
 Perhaps one of the most important points in the arrangement Of the coif- fure for the tall woman that must re- ceive careful study is the shape of the profile The retrousse nose demands a very different style of coiffure from the aquiline, and the present low. style of hairdressing. becoming as 1t may be
