AMERICAN ARMY WELL SHOD

New York, Sept. 7.-A'he great
general staff of Germany has slipped
cog in it's minute preparations for
the present conflict. The, kaiser's
foot soldiers are paying the price for
the oversight, and thousands of
them have limped to the front and
suffered a crucial handicap at the
moment of combat Their hobnailed
boots have stood well the rigors of
the march, but, alas, the fcet within
have suffered woefully. 1T costs a
tidy sum to shoe a standing army in
times of peace, and it costs great
deal more to provide footgcar for an
army when war is rife. Our war
with Spain brought home to us the
need of a substantial change in the
footwear of our soldiers. The mat
ter became one for investigation,
and experts have spent four years
in studying scientifically foot needs
of the army. They have evolved a
suitable shoe, which permits the
free expansion and contraction of
the important muscles of the foot
and ankle, and which gives absolute
support to the longitudinal and the
transverse arches. Another depar-
ture from the usual manner in
which shoes are purchased Is made
by the soldier buyer. He stands

A Big Yield Of Florida Grapefruit
Seems Certain

jacksonville, Fla, Sept. T.
Flattering reports regarding the
citrus fruit crop co" tinue to be re-
ceived at The Packer Office from
practically every section of the
State. The rainy season is now on,
but there has been just enough rain
in most every section to keep the
crop in excellent condition. Trees
are in fine shape and owing to a
good percentage of the crop being
early bloom shipments will begin
early.
In Orange, DeSoto and Polk coun-
ties the fruit is reported good and
fruit larger than last season. Or
anges have begun to show color and
of good sizes. Dade county will
produce the largest crop of grape
fruit ever grown in the State and
of excellent quality.
Lee county, one of the most south
ern counties on the West Coast, re-
ports good crop, larger than last
year. 1t will mature early and no
doubt shipments of grapefruit will
start Sept. Is.
The Southern Growers Co., of
this city, declares that grapefruit
will be ready for shipment from
Lake county hx Sept. 10, and that
If, market conditions justify, the
company will be prepared to move
two cars on that date. The orange
crop, owing to the drought in this
county is somewhat less than last
year but the quality Of both oranges
and grapefruit Is excellent.
A. G. Marshall, president of the
A. C. Marshall Co., fruit distribu-
tors, this city. said: "We will have
a banner grapefruit crop in Florida
this season. would not be sur
prised if it ran 100 per cent larger

will be about the same as last year,
maybe some larger, The fruit is
growing fast and the crop will
start to move early. | believe we are
going to have one of the most sue
cessful seasons in fruit and vege-
tables. -
