AN OPEN LETTER.
TO the people of Sank Centre:

To the people of Sank Centre:
We have booked an act on Nov.
Both and Dec. LIST that comes very
we'll recommended, and we believe it
to be one of the best musical vaude-
vile acts on the road today.
The Lilligren-Johnson Company
are very well known to the musical
people of Chicago, Boston and Min
neapolis and you may be assured of
a rare treat in hearing these very fine
artists in repertoir of Songs, Piano
Solos and Dialect Readings.
Mr.. julius K. johnson is the COM
poser of the famous King of the
Air" march-the "Boy Scouts Par
ade"-"College Boys"-the Country
Club" and number of other very
popular numbers which are being
played by all the leading bands
throughout the country. His song
"Thou Art Like Unto the Rose will
appear in the January number of The
Woman's Home Companion. As a
pianist he is in a class by himself
always playing music that appeals to
the public in general and not only to
those who are accomplished in that
line.
Mr.. Arthur Lilligren is one Of our
country's most gifted singers. His
voice is wonderfully pleasing and his
vocal range is much larger than the
average singer. He sings songs of all
classes to suit all the people and that
is one secret of his wonderful success.
Not only is Mr.. Li":gren fine singer
he has a wonderful perception of
the various dialects and gives you
readings and stories that keep you
laughing from start to finish. In all
this act is one of the cleanest, enter
tanning musical acts on the road to-
day and you should not miss hearing
it. We have been very f rtunate in
booking this act for two nights only
in connection with our regular show
for the slight advance in admission of
10 to 20 cents.
Remember the date-November the
30th and December the LIST.

PRISON SYSTEMS
OF Southern States 10 be Inspected
by Florida Officials

The last legislature passed an
act which gradually abolishes the
convict lease system and provides
that q state convict farm be estab-
lished, The state now owns some
fine lands in Bradford county
which were bought for this pur-
pose.
The board Of commissioners of
State Institutions, which is COM
posed of the governor and the en-
tire cabinet, are charged with the
responsibility of getting this con-
vict farm in operation and making
the necessary plans and specifica-
tons for the buildings and the
plans on which the convict system
is to be carried out.
State Treasurer Luning and
Commissioners of Agriculture Nc
Rae are making trip of inspec-
ton which will take in the prison
systems of practically all the
southern states. They will be
joined in a few days by Attorney
General West and probably Comp
troller Knott. 1t is understood
that their trip Of inspection is in
tended to give the board the ad-
vantage of personal observation Of
the prison systems of the other
southern states and that they may
act intelligently in going about
this decided change in the states
policy of dealing with its convicts.
The superintendent of the con-
vict farm has already been select
ed and the selection is believed to
be a fortunate one. He is with
the committee from the board on
their trip of inspection.
The convict question has been
one that has entered into politics
more or less for the past several
years, but after the change is
made and the farm is established
it is hoped that the plans on which
the new system is based will be SO
we'll selected and efficiently car
ried out that the question will bc
entirely removed from politics.

Department wants Protection for
This Bird All Over Country

Protect and encourage the
meadow lark, for its principal
diet consists of cotton boil and al-
falfa weevil, grasshoppers and
predaceous ground beetle, advises
the United States department Of
agriculture. While the bird, it is
acknowledged, does some damage
to sprouting grain, its value as a
destroyer of injurious insects is
shown to be far greater.
Furthermore the department
calls attention to the fact the birds

which are most abundant, thereby

LAST SEASONS
CITRUS CROP
Aggregated Over Eight Million
Boxes-Coming Crop Will
be Equally as Large

/
| Up to this morning Genera
Manager In ID. Jones of the Flor
ida Citrus exchange was the onl,
man in the state who knew jus
how many boxes of citrus frui
went out of the state during tn,
1923 season and what percent
age of the crop the exchange han
died.
A reporter for the Times hap
pened to come along and Mr.
Jones gave the information, which
he received this morning from O
compilation of railroad and other
reports to him.
The total crop was 8,125, ,465
boxes and the exchange handled
1,78o,301 boxes or 2l.91 per cent
Of the whole.
This year they expect to handle
more than that by good fair mar
gin, for the growers OF the state
are beginning to see that the sex
change way" is the right way and
the only safe way FOR the indivl-
dual grower. The exchange is
growing fast and will register a
greater percentage of the coming
crop than it did of the last.
"And let no one hug the delu-
sion that there is going to be u
small crop this year." said Mr..
Jones. ''In some parts Of the
citrus belt the bloom may have
been a little short, but in other
parts of the state it was all right
and the new acreage coming into
bearing for the first time this year
will make fully as big a crop as
that of last year.

moneys received from each nation

BIG IMPROVEMENTS
Being Made at the Local Ice Factory
Progressing Nicely

The big improvements which
this paper, sometime ago, ,announc
ed would be made in the Punts
Gorda ice factory, are well under
way and some Of them are fast
nearing completion. The large
cold storage room, having a Ca.
pacity Of thousand tons of ice,
us farthest along towards compile
tion. 1t is built of brick and will
be equipped with the latest refri-
gerating appliances. Workmen
are now plastering the interior
walls. From this room, a hall
ceiled with several inches of cork
leads to the discharging platfor m
outside, where cars and wagons
will load.
The new 25-ton ice machinery
which is the very newest model,
has been installed and will likely
be put in operation this week.
The present machine, also of 25-
ton capacity and of modern model,
is practically new, having been in
stalled last year. So is the bat
terry of steam boilers, which have
ample power for all purposes in
tended.
A beautiful new dynamo, in
stalled a week or two ago, is in
operation, furnishing all the light
needed and capable of supplying
as much more. But, since the
owners have contracted with the
town authorities to furnish elec-
tricity for the whole city, this
dynamo will soon be replaced by
one having four times the capacity.
q
The present metallic tanks in
which the water is frozen into 900
ID. blocks, will he discarded and
replaced with tanks of 300-lb. ca
pacity. These new tsnk- are al
ready on hand and, as they will
occupy twice rs much space as the
ones, a room has been add
ed in which there has just been
a very large iron vat
in which they will be placed. This
increase of freezing rooms and
tanks results from doubling the
of the factory. An elec-
trio hoist will lift the ice from the
tanks.
The water for making ice is
by an 8-inch artesian we'll
which discharges 1,500 gallons per
and that, too, with such
force that a pump is not needed to
drive it through the wilderness of
pipes into the freezing tanks.
When all improvements are
the Punta Gorda Ice
Factory will be up-to-date in all
and its management be-
ng in the hands of j. N. Skies,
Who is assisted by Herman Stew
lrt, will insure its giving satisfac-
ion both to its owners and to the
,eneral public. !

the purpose of securing subscrib-
ers to any newspaper. magazine or
other periodical published in this
state, shall pay license tax of
800 in each county in which thcy
operate, or ia which subscriptions
are sought.
Trading stamp firms must pay
a state tax of ST, 200 and moving
picture men will have to contrib
ute 5000 yearly to the state.
All these fees, moreover, are
just the beginning OF the taxing,
for the law allows the several
counties to assess taxes for fifty
per cent of the amount fixed as q
state tax. The cities also have
authority 10 do their own taxing,
80 the prospects are that it will be
costly to do business in Florida in
future.
Taking newspaper contests as q
basis, some idea may be gained of
of the ccst of taxes for various
lines of business. As there are
forty-nine COMMITTEES in the state,
any newspaper putting on q state
wide contest will be Obliged to pay
"a, 900 into the treasury at Talla-
hassee. One-half of this amonnt
additional, or$2, 45O, will be ow-
ing to the county. After both of
these taxes are paid, the city will
be empowered to come in and ask
for an additional tribute, provided
the matter of contests shall be coy
cred In the city ordinances. This
law is q new one.
Trading stamp firms will be as
sessed 81, 500 for state and county
licenses and will also be obliged
to settle with the city, and the
moving picture men, after coming
across to the state for 5000, will
be compelled to pay an additional
800 on the county and city IL
cense as we'll.
Tax Collector Branch explained
today that the new laws governing
state taxes become effective Aug
ust 5, while in cases where taxes
haye already been paid to the
county, under existing laws the
new system Of taxation becomes
effective October /. He also ex-
planned that any Of the license acts
OF 1913 that embrace business, oc-
or profession, must pay
q half year for August and Sep
tember, as taxes are only prorated
every six months.
Florida's tax laws are compre-
hensive and practically every con-
ceivable business and occupation
is included in the taxable list.
Under the laws Of 1913, automo-
bile agencies or persons, firms or
corporations, engaged in the sale
Of automobiles, auto trucks, shall
pay for each place of business, In
cities of 10000 Or more (which in
cludes Tampa), $40. The addi-
tional fifty per cont for county
tax brings the amount to 500
yearly.
Automobiles and other motor
driven vehicles using the public
roads or highways in the state of
Florida, either for hire or other
wise, will be taxed under the act

the various laws under which
more than third of all national
forest receipts 60 to the benefit of
the states in which the forests are
situated, for schools and roads.
In 1912 the amount of money thus
made available for state purposes
totaled about $3.50, 900. The re-
port does not show the amounts
due from the receipts of the fiscal
year which closed June 30, 1913.
Including these, the states share
of national forest funds since the
laws were passed has aggregated
over $3,0O0,0O0.
These facts are', set forth, ac-
cording to the forest service, be-
cause popular impression still
exists that all money received by
the government from timber sales,
grazing fees, water power permits,
etc., is permanently taken out of
the states where it is paid and goes
into the national treasury to meet
the general expenses of the gov
ernment. This idea is siad to pre-
vail, to some extent even among
actual forest states, where the di-
vision of receipts with the states
has been going on for years.
The circular states that part of
the gross receipts of the national
forests was first made available
for schools and roads when the
agricultural appropriation act of
June 80, 1906, directed the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to pay over
to the state or territory in which
any forest reserve was situated ten
per cent of all money received
during the fiscal year from such
reserve. The money was to be
expended by the state or territori-
al legislature for the benefit of
public schools and roads in the
counties in which the forest re-
serve lay. This legislation was
recommended by the forest service
because of the recognized burden
imposed locally where national
forests operate to prevent much
land from becoming taxable.
In 1908 the amount to be paid
to the states was increased 10 25
per cent, md proviso of the ear
lier act that no more should be
paid to county than 40 per cent
of it's total income from other
sources was eliminated. Since
this proyiso was removed, some
of the counties receipts from ma
tional forest lands have equalled
their income from all other
sources.
In August, 1912, the agricnl-
tural appropriation act for the
year made available an additional
/
10 per cent of the money received
from national forests to bald and
maintain roads aud trails within
national forests for the benefit of
the public, in the states from
which these proceeds are derived.
This 10 per cent road item," rs
it is called, is expended by the
Secretary of Agriculture, who
may, according to the act, when
ever practicable in the construc-
ton and maintenance of such
roads, secure the cooperation or
aid of the proper state or territor-
ial authorities in the furtherance
of any system of highways of
which such roads may be made a
part" The total amount expend-
ed under this provision from the
receipts of the fiscal year 1912 is +,
