REST ROOM

Every member OF the Civic League is
requested to be present at the next meet
ing of the League to consider plans in
regard to the establishment of a Rest
Room.
1t is under consideration that rooms
can be obtained close to the principal
business houses where women who come
to town and would wish and need such
as the Rest Room would
furnish could be Accommodated. If the
rooms are opened they will be free dur
ing the day to all women. Lockers will
be furnished for rental for small charge
where toilet accessories could be kept
by those renting the boxes.
AS the Rest Room would be at the
pleasure of the ladies Of the surrounding
country, Charlotte Harbor, Murdoch.
Cleveland. Bairdville. Bermont Willow
Pen and all other settlements, it should
fill big need.
A number of such rooms have been
opened in the state and in every case
have answered crying demand. AS it
is hoped to get the rooms in operation as
soon as possible. if it is desired to start
them at all, a full meeting of the Leaeue
Is desired, and the club officers hope that
many new members viii come in at this
when plans for taking the
Model Wife" to several of the nearby
towns will also be discussed

COMMISSION MEN HERE

The visit of the commission men to
the city last week was indication that
Funta Gorda is getting on the produce
commission merchants map. A number
Of the local growers. who have had deal
ings with the firm of Coyne Bros, Chica-
go, We're pleased to have the chance to
interview Mr.. Richard Coyne
Mr. Coyne was shown the truck fields
and pineries by Mr.. Carrier, while Sena-
tor Cooper showed him some of the ban
ner groves on Pineapple river. Every :
thing that Mr.. Coyne saw pointed in his
estimation to a profitable future for this
section in the trucking industry The
pineries and the quality of their pro-
duct convinced him. he said, that Punta
Gorda should leave no stone unturned
to increase the acreage until carlot ship
ment could be ensured to make the busi-
ness more profitable.
Mr.. Jacobs of Spadaro & Co, Philadel-
phia, said he had been hearing so much
about certain section farther north
which is spending heavily in advertising
it's wonderful qualifications, that he had
supposed it superior to any thing and
every thing, but after his study of the
truck fields and the conditions he thought
for most all vegetables. the Punta Gorda
area had the other beaten.
Unfortunately when the other repre-
sentative of the Board of Trade present
ed the claims of Punta Gorda to the at
tention of the commission men In Tampa
most of them had their plans so arrang-
ed that they were unable to allow time
for a trip farther south and it was sur
prising how few Of them had included
any points below Manatee county 1t
was said that many Of the delegates had
to be begged to make that trip. Punta
Gorda's claims to their attention sur
prised all of them and there Is no doubt
that next year will see the section re-
is not impossible that the head of a
Philadelphia firm with which number
of local shippers have had pleasant re-
lations may yet get here fer q few hours
before returning North.
Very oddly fact mentioned to him in
regard to the field method of planting
tomatoes started him figuring on his
schedule to see ii he possibly could ar
range to inspect the fields planted by
that system. Mr.. Sayre Of Justice a. Co.,
Philadelphia. said he had never supposed
such method was used by truckers or
could result satisfactorily. The idea Of
$50 acres Of tomatoes planted and not a
seed bed was novel enough to bring him
here If possible.
