Good Road
Now Between
LakelandAnd
Kathleen

In company with County Commits.
sion j. Everett Bryant and Road
Supervisor C. G. Fletcher, the editor
had the pleasure Of inspecting the
road between Socrum and this city,
which has been completed to the
Griffin schoolhouse, the boundary of
Mr.. Bryant's district. This leaves
something over two miles to be con-
structed to bring the road to the
Lakeland city limits, and work on
this portion of roadway is now be-
Ing pushed by Commissioner Swim
dell in whose district this part of
the roadway lies. The road will be
completed to the city limits proba-
bly, about February LIST.
The road thus far completed und-
err the supervision of Mr.. Bryant is
a magnificent piece of highway,
sixteen feet wide, hard surfaced
and splendidly drained. Beginning
at the Griffin school house and ex-
tending to Kathleen, the road is
smooth, firm and built in a manner
that insures durability. 1t is a de-
light to drivers of all kind of vehic-
les, and it will do much to build up
and develop the territory through
which it passes, being of particular
advantage to this city and to the
thriving town OF Kathleen. The
completion of the stretch from
Griffin to this city will give a splen-
did highway from Lakeland to So
crum, connecting with which is
good road to the Providence section.
There is no better country in Flor
ida than that which this road pene-
trates, and this fine highway will
render it particularly attractive to
homeseekers and settlers.
Commissioner Bryant has built
for himself a monument in this
piece of highway, to the supervision
of which he has devoted his time
and energy, and given much disin-
terested and patriotic labor. He is
deserving of the gratitude and COM
incubation, not only of the people of
his district but of the county and
the State in bringing about the ex-
cellent results attained in this piece
of road-building.
Equally deserving, for splendid
service to this county, is C. G.
Fletcher, who has the actual work
of road construction in charge and
under whose supervision all the

A BIG FORWARD MOVE FOR OUR
CITRUS INDUSTRY

With her confessedly inferior or
anges and grapefruit and her much
greater distance to the Eastern
markets, California nevertheless
puts it over u.s. in what she real
ICES on her citrus crops. The reas-
on Is not far to seek: absolute sys-
tenn, minute care in every detail, re-
fusal to ship green fruit, intelligent,
persistent and widespread advertis-
ing, and, above all, thorough rec
ignition of the fact that community
of interests in the great industry
makes constant and effective CO.
operation absolutely indispensable
to the largest good to the growers.
The presence of discordant or
kicking element, obsessed with the
primitive notion of independence"
of course makes such cooperation
impossible.
California is our enemy, active,
alert, and aggressive, in the mark
cts, and We will be wise to learn
from her in all things possible, for
she is an expert at the game in
which we as comparatively new be-
ginners, have much yet to learn.
We are glad to see that the Flor
ida Citrus Exchange recognizes
these things and is now committed
to the great forward move Of secure
ing census Of every citrus grove:
in THE State; the acreage Of each,
number and age of bearing and non
bearing trees, and other facts that
will give complete and compact in
formation of the great industry, en-
tirely reliable and readily accessi-
BILE to all, from which many facts
and conclusions of mater a l
Importance can be drawn, in
GLIDING the very import n
one of intelligent forecast of the
crop from year to year. Blanks will
be furnished to every fruit grower
in Floida, whethe he belongs
OF the exchange or not, in order that
he may furnish the information
necessary to the end in view, and
there will be no cost whatever to
him. When this census, is CON-
pleted, reliable figures can be had
regarding the increase of the citrus
crop from year to year. Men in the
business will no longer be moving in
the dark and handicapped by igno-
rance and guess-work in all their
plans and calculations.
Such a census will be long step
IN the direction of systemizing the
industry, and until there is a sys-
tenn which minimizes isolated action
among growers and enables the
whole business of citrus growing in
Florida to move as compact, or
ganized body, with efficiency as its
watch word, we will be at con-
slant disadvantage both in the
groves and the markets against such
a formidable competitor as Cali
fornia.

RUSH TO SECURE THE CROSS
Christmas Ceremonies That Mark the
Celebration In Russia and the
Balkan States.

The Russian Christmas falls on
January z. On that day st. Petersburg
celebrates the birth of Christ by bless
ing the River Neva. A procession Of
priests, followed by a huge crowd,
march to the river, the Ice is broken,
and a cross dipped in the water. In
spite Of the intense cold, often many
degrees below zero, piously-inclined
persons rush into the river to battle
themselves in the sanctiied water.
A similar Christmas ceremony Is en-
acted in those Roumanian towns which
lie on the Danube, but in this case the
people are dressed to represent vari-
GUS biblical characters, such as Herod,
Pontius Plate, ETC., and the cross is
not merely dipped, but flung into the
water. Then follows a terrific rush to
secure the blessed emblem-a rush so
fearful that often lives are lost, for 1t
is firmly believed that its possession
will bring the owner good fortune not
only for the year, but for the rest Of
his life.

snall,a Real Pace.

AT a snail's pace" is a common ex.
preston and usually signifies very
slow gait, but what do you suppose
is the actual speed by a snail in trav-
cling?
We car give 1t to you In accurate
figures.
One foot In four minutes, or at the
rate Of one mile In Is days, II travel
ing continuously.
These are figures given by George
Zahnizer. a civil engineer of this city,
taken from actual observation.
A short time since Mr.. Zahnizer was
standing along the Western New York
& Pennsylvania railroad waiting for a
train. He had nothing in particular to
do and killed a little time" by timing
a snail which was creeping along the
ground.
That snail travelled just exactly one
foot in four minutes. Mr.. Zahnizer
says, and computing distance at the
rate Of travel shown Mr.. Zahnizer has
figured out that 1t would require 1e
days for that snail to move a mile.

KITCHEN MOTTO is NEW IDEA
Not at All a Bad One, With It's sua-
aestIon Of Constant Cheer and
Encouragement.

Something a little unusual as q
kitchen help found Its way to one
woman's kitchen-a framed copy Of
one Of Robert Louis Stevenson's
prayers. 1.-THE petty round Of irritat-
ing concerns and duties," to which he
referred, seemed to her a particularly
appropriate phrase for the domestic
routine. His petition for help to per-
form them with laughter and kind
faces" is a good tonic with which to
roll up ones sleeves and plunge In.
Give US to go blithely On our busi-
ness" prayed the brave poet, stricken
as he was with mortal disease; and
the housekeeper echoes the prayer,
however weary she may be. This idea
is worth initiating. Stationers and
art dealers furnish an attractive Sc
lection which find their way into many
offices and homes. The fashion Of In.
PRODUCING them into kitchens might be
followed with advantage.

"How are Your BoWels?" A Sin,

JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT
Three Kitchen Hints That Are Worth

Try the following recipe for stuffed
breakfast rolls II you wish something
out of the ordinary: Take a roll Tor
each person and remove every partl-
Gle of the inside. A cupful Of con
minced poultry or veal should be IN
readiness, with which may be mixed
a trifle of chopped ham to give high.

butter in a stewpan stir it, q dessert
spoonful Of -four and add a gill OF
milk or cream with the minced meat.
Stir well until 1t liz very hot. Fill the
rolls, close them and place them In
a warm oven for a couple Of minutes,
then garnish with parsley and serve.
A delicious prune pudding can be
made in the following way: Get the
large California prunes known as sil.
verskins; soak them over night; In
the morning cook them in very little
water for about FIVE minutes. SO that
they can be stoned easily. Chop one
cup Of suet very fine; add a cup OF
molasses, a teaspoonful Of mixed spice,
one of salt, a cupful of milk and three
and a half cupfuls Of flour, into which
has been sifted n t%easpoonful 'of
baking soda. Cut the prunes in small
pieces and pour all together, transfer
ring the ingredients into a buttered
mold, filling it about three-quarters
full. Set in a pot Of boiling water
and let 1t boil uninterruptedly for four
hours. Whatever is left Of the pud-
ding can be served again If cut in
slices and fried brown In butter.
Veal outlets when properly broiled
are very much better than when fried
in the usual manner Season well two
pounds Of the meat and half an hour
before serving broil quickly and thor
oughly. A pan with a tightly fitted
cover should be in readiness in the
oven, into which a cup of hot water
and a piece Of butter about the size
of an egg should be paured. Lay the
outlets in this and cover 1t up closely
that they will remain very hot un
