JUDGE PRESTON TO HAVE LARGE
NURSERY AT AUBURNDALE.

Auburniale, May 21.-Evidence OF
the confidence which the older citi
zens have in the safety from dam
aging frost of the highland lake
country of Polk county can be gath
cred almost any day by an inspection
Of the back country: The latest DEM
onstration along this line has been
made by Judge w. S. Preston, of Bar
tow and Auburndale, who is prepar-
ing to plant twenty acres of his hold
ings on the west shore of Lake Myr-
tie in citrus fruit nursery stock.
Judge Preston decided to go into
the nursery business about a year
ago and after long and wide search
finally succeeded in purchasing one
bushel of rough lemon seed at al
average of 81 per quart, making his
total investment for the bushel
amount to 1924.
This seed was planted in beds Nov
] last year, the total area occupied
being less than a quarter of an acrd
The seedlings have done remarkably
we'll and are now in proper size and
condition to be transplanted. A crew
is now at work clearing twenty acres
for the transplanting, which will be
finished this summer. The seedlings
will be budded a year hence to Lou
CHM Gong oranges. as Judge Preston
has great faith in the yielding and
staying qualities of this latest of
oranges to be extensively exploited.

OUR BASEBALL CONTINGENT
SEEMS 10 HAVE DiSSA.
POINTED AUBURNDALE.

Auburndale is becoming a popular
place for the gathering of pleasure
seekers as her many lakes, with their
high, clean banks afford unusual op-
Foltunities for picnicing, bathing,
boating AMI fishing. The Lakeland
ethodist Sunday school had it's an
nual picnic here Thursday and fully
two hundred citizens of the sister city
came over on the morning train and
spent delightful day here. Through
the courtesy of the Quarels-Laird De-
Velopment Co., of St. Louis, use was
made of the hickory grove picnic
srounds on Lake Ariana in front OF
the Seminole Club, the grounds be-
Ing secured through the solicitation
OF the Auburndale Board of Trade.
While the visitors had we'll nign
perfect day, there was something Of
sadness in it for the local contingent,
LOT the Lakeland senior baseball
team trounced the Auburndale jun
lors twice in the same place. The
Auburndale seniors challenged the
Lakeland team to mortal combat
naming Saturday afternoon as the
time. The local fans promptly went
t" work and cleared and prepared Il
new field of battle on the south side
OF town and were ready in fighting
trim from Saturday noon until dark,
out no one appeared from Lakeland.
The challenge is still open.-Auburn-

WILL BE ON THE JOB.

President Wilson. in his message asking Congress to stay on the job and enact currency reform laws largely avoided recommendations or suggestions save that the case was very urgent and must be at tended to. That does not, however, necessarily mean that the Presi- dent has no ideas of his own as to what Is needed or what shall be done. That he has. has been pretty well demonstrated in the way he has nodded the tariff laws, despite a great deal of strong opposition even in his own party.
 The message was very mild. but when the money laws are made Woodrow Wilson will be on the job lobby or no lobby.

SuppreSsing d Panic.

Just as the New Jersey bosses dis covered that they were dealing with a new kind of governor in Wood row Wilson, so Wall Street discov- cred that it is dealing with a new kind of president.
 For years the governments eS- tablished policy in the matter of financial depression has been simple and fatal. Washington waited un- til the panic had begun, until con- fidence and credit were undermined, and then turned the United States treasury over tO Wall Street, while the stock gamblers salVaged what they could from the wreck. The Wilson policy is tO suppress the panic at the start and not at the finish.
 Nothing could have been more timely than Secretary NcAdoOs an nouncement that he was prepared to issue S500OO0.OO0 in emergency currency under the Aldrich-Vreeland act. Wall Street recovered imme- diately from its hysteria and its bankers. with characteristic patriot ism. began to denounce the secre- tary for his absurd offer
 The fact is now pointed out with a wealth of detail that there is plen- ty of currency in circulation. and that no emergency currency is necessary. but IS hours ago Wall Street was pointing out with an equal wealth of detail that one of the disturbing elements in the sit uation was the necessity that would exist in a few weeks for immense sums of money to move the crops.
 The truth is, there was plenty of money all the time. and except for the condition of the European money market there was no reason whatever for Wall Streets attack of nerves.
 Proving it is the most important service that the treasury has ren- dered by it's offer of emergency cur rency Wall Streets hysteria was rapidly inoculating the entire coun- try, and the Wilson administration has stopped the nonsense before it became seriOus.-NeW York World.

keep a crust from forming. con- serve the moisture, protect the young roots, keeping the field clean of grass, and will greatly increase the yield. One of the best ways 10 lose all the moisture that there is m the soil is to throw up a ridge in the middle with one of those double cultivators. If this has al- ready been done an orchard harrow with a board across the back will do fine work, and produce the best of results.

 Shallow cultivation is best for the corn until we get a good rain. There must be a dust mulch maintained in order to hold the moisture while we wait for the rain. This sort of cultivation with an orchard har- row, diverse cultivator or buzzard wing, if there is much grass should be kept up till ears are well formed. The amount of the work will be
 increased, but you will be pleased with lhe increase in the yield of

Save the Moisture.

Continued and shallow cultiva- ton, say two or three inches, is best for the crops now. If there is much grass use a buzzard wing ad- justed so that you will not blow deep. If the grass is under control the orchard harrow and diverse cul- tivator are two good farm imple- ments for results now. They do not injure the roots but kill the young grass and weed, maintain a dust mulch and thereby conserve the moisture which is so necessary at this time.
 Where the seed bed is flat these implements will give more satis- faction than where the seed bed has been thrown up into a ridge h. tensiye and shallow cultivation will

HIS IDEA OF \ SINISTER
 LAWYER PLEASED JUDGE

New York-Every now and then someone refers bitterly to the New York breed of shyster. They're as pesltferOus as the WOOdtlck of the Bitter Root mountains.
 Judge O'Sullivan hates the sort, ' said Aaron Levy, Democratic leader of the New York assembly. Levy, by the way, represented the only two men accused of knowledge of the Rosenthal murder who were freed. Not long ago a young law yer in his court had a run-in with one of them. The young lawyer lost his temper and called the pet tifOgger a name. O'Sullivan banged on the desk.
 Whats that you said?' he roared.
 The young lawyer wouldn't say l O'Sullivan whanged away again with his mallet. Then take the stand, sir he demanded. I'll see l if I cannot get at the truth. Clerk swear him.
 The clerk sWOre him. The young l lawyer fluttered like a hair ribbon on a ferry boat. O'Sullivan rasped i at him loudly.
 Remember, young man. said he. you're under oath. Now what | did you call this attorney?'
 Please sir said the young law yer in a thin. apologetic voice I l called him a hoGheaded blueiay.
 Stand down. said Judge OSul- livan firmly, I've known that 'tc be the ease for 9 years-but this is the first time I could get anyone 10 swear to it.'n

EASY TO SUFFER WITH HEAT.
Proper Diet Is Essential in Keeping
 Well in Summer.

i From the Kansas City Star.
 Errors in diet are the caus. of at l least 99 per cent of all heat pros ! trations. according to Dr. Hasbrook De Lamater, assistant health com missioner. Also the diet affects the health in many other ways. So Dr. De Lamater has the fol- ] lowing to say about a proper sum mer diet:
 In the first place eat lightly of 1 light food. Meat should be eaten but once day except by laboring men. Vegetables. plenty of fruit and cereals should make up the other meals.
 No Iced Drinks With Meals.
 A great majority of people drink too much ice water and iced drinks in the summer time. They are not so bad between meals, but no iced drink should ever be taken with a meal. The digestive apparatus must maintain a temperature of 9S degrees for digestion to take place. Iced drinks cool the stomach and prevent digestion. Between meals lemonade, limeade and grape juice may be drunk without fear of con- sequence. and they are very re- freshing to the system.
 For breakfast there should be fruit of some kind. such as berries, oranges. stewed prunes, bananas and cream. Then toast and bacon and eggs or a small steak. The drink should be milk or well made coffee.
 The lunch should be the lightest meal of the day-soup. a salad of vegetables. a peanut butter sand Wich and milk. hot tea or cocoa.
 What to Eat for Dinner.
 The dinner should be a substan- tial meal. with soup. a roast or steak baked potatoes and as many other kinds of vegetables as pos Sible: a fruit or vegetable salad. The dessert should be some sort of pudding which is easily digested or a fruit pie.
 "A change of diet for summer is more important to the health of the body than a change of clothes, but it is observed by a small per cent. If you want to make sure that you will feel sluggish and groggy and succumb to the least excess of heat. just 90 into a restaurant and eat a large steak, fried potatoes. ice tea, pie a Ia mode and water melon.
