WASHINGTON Nov. secretary

today after his cz1apaign trip west.
issued q formal statament summariz-
ing election restilias2nd declaring that
they could not be considered other
than as an embarrassment OF President

ship of the regular Republican ranks;
that Senator Renrose and Former
Speaker Cannon wuSl5d represent their

GOOD MARKETING
Bounfeous Vegetable and Fruit Sup

( While other cities are charging on the
diversified supply of vegetables in their
markets it is a fair chance that none
has shown any greater. If so great, a
variety as Punta Gorda has enjoyed
During this month the fruits to be had
have included strawberries of local
growth and very fine too; pineapples,
grapefruit, oranges. kumquats, tanger-
ines, bananas and also some canteloupes
that were of very decent growth. In
several homes watermelons were served
since before the holidays and few
others are nearly ready.
OF course there has also been some
guavas and late jamaica sorrel
In the vegetable world the list is quite
complete with new potatoes which at so
cents a peck made any trucker want to

Pleasure at Punfa Gorda

While the city and surrounding coun-
try offer many of the usual lines of rec
reation, including hunting and fine fish,
ing, the entertainment to be found in
and around the city is by no means OF
the hackneyed type in the State. so that
the visitor who is familiar with other
sections will find some rather unsual
pleasures here.
The city pier with its very long prom
enade is one of the finest things of its
kind on the West Coast and affords Wis
itors resort at all times where the
view of the river and Charlotte Harbor
beyond is to be had.
Punta Gorda has fine walks and better
roads about 1t than the average town.
The walks especially make it very much
liked by elderly people. More sidewalks
are soon to be laid In sections where
they will be greatly enjoyed by tourists
especially.
The scenes at the wharf when the large
boats come In with their loads of fish
are not to be duplicated on the West
Coast; and the interest in the fishing in
dustry shown by visitors is always cour-
teously met by the fishermen
Visits to the pineries are special Pun
ia Gorda treat. There are several COL
lections Of natural curios and valuable
souvenirs OF historic events in the city
and Governor Gilchrist, when in town, is
always glad to allow visitors to examine
the large collection which he has in his
building In the rooms adjoining his off,
ces 1t is hoped soon to arrange a loan
exhibition of some of these collections
where 1t will be an attraction easily ac-
cessible to visitors If suitable place
can be obtained centrally located.
The library, in charge of Mrs. Stella
Gould, has always been rallying place
for many OF the regular winter visitors,
and every one is cordially welcomed.
Wild flowers will soon begin to bloom
freely and wild flower parties will find
many attractive and little known blos-
SONS in the country round about which
are reached by stroll not too fatiguing.
Among drives is that to Pineapple Riv-
er, where the moss hung oak grove at
the bridge on the hard road makes an
ideal picnic spot. A place less known is
the Indian Mound out on the sand flats
where the wierd growth of gumbo limbo
trees makes fantastic and curious
sight.
When the citrus bloom begins no one
who intends to say they have been to
Florida should neglect moonlight drive
out among the groves. The perfume of
course at any time is attractive but the
soft night dews release it in such vol
umns and the whole scene is so bewitch-
ing that the experience win rank among
things never to be forgotten.
Punta Gorda has its Gun Club, for trap
shooting, easily reached. There is ten
mis- court quite generously available and
as fine tarpon are caught right out near
the city as can be had any where on the
coast.

Old floors can be waxed quite sue

should first be washed thoroughly and

ever allow your mind to pierce the Sc
cret of the universe. to reason that this
dull, cold earth is but the sepulcher OF
ages past. that man in all his glory Is
but the soil we tread. which every
breeze WATTS In an ever shifting maze,
to be found and lost in an infinity of
particles-the dust of centuries, reunit-
ed and dissolved as long as time shall
endure?
