GRAPEFRUIT WILL BRING
UNUSUALLY GOOD PRICE

Grapefruit prices at this time, for
the first shipments 10 go out of the
state, are higher than has been
known in several years, quotations
now being s2.75 a box by carload
lots and SO for single boxes at the
hacking house. Capt. Cramer B.

Company, said this morning that he
Hoped to ship the first carload of
fruit out of St Petersburg next week
as ne can now find a carload of ripe
fruit. He says he expects to get
-Z.75 for the fruit. The rice last
year was as low as 81 box by car
load lots and $3.50 for single boxes
The price of oranges will be lower
ranging from $3.50 to 50 box
Grapefruit is scarce and that ac-
counts for the high prices. Capt.
Potter said that the price may drop
and may go HIGHER but he does not
.ook for much change either way.
The fruit is not ripening rapidly
about st. Petersburg. The Leonardo.
which is the earliest variety. is sweet
now but there is not enough iuice
as the cells have not filled out suf-
hciently. A spell of cool weather Is
needed to bring the fruit to perfec-
ton. The early varieties of both
oranges and grapefruit are sweeter
now than at this time last year in
spite of the continued warm weather
out have not so much juice.
Owners Of groves around st. Peters

their crops this year as they did last

BRAVE CANADIANS PAY THE
DREADFUL PRICE OF WAR

Charles d-eavitt. OF Saranac Lake,
y. Y, is a recent arrival in the city
to spend the winter. and is located
at T19 Eighth street. north. While
on his way TO st. Petersburg a week
ago. in New York, he saw a train
load of Canadian soldiers on Their
way home from the battlefelds OF
Europe TO Montreal, Canada. The
majority of the soldiers, he stated.
were so badly wounded as to be IN
fit for further service in the army,
having lost limbs, eyesight and be.
ing otherwise disabled.
Mr.. Leavitt said that the rem
nants OF what were once fine speci-
nients of manhood had just arrived
in New York aboard a hospital ship
provided by the allies. The Can
adam troops have given good &C
count OF themselves in the great
conflict. but the price paid was a
dear one.
The wounded men were shown
every consideration by the nurses
ard those in charge, and attracted
a great deal OF attention in New
York-St. Petersburg Times.

EFFECTS OF WAR IN FACES
OF GERMAN SOLDIERS

War does not make brutes nor he
roes of all men. Some become simply
uncanny. Professor Ludwig Schleich,
one of Germany's prominent medical
men, has just published a report OF
his observations after several
months work at the front and in
military hospitals in various parts of
Germany. He dwells particularly On
the psychological effect of the strain
Of modern battle on the private sold
Ter.
There is frequently" he observes,
strange, almost awful look in the
faces of those who have been in bat
tie. They are still willing soldiers.
some Of them eager to get back to the
trenches, but the more highly civil
lied man is, the deeper his feelings,
the more does he bear that indelible
something in his face. the sign that
he has seen terrible things
Physically these soldiers may be
hard as iron, says Prof Schleich,
but physically they are not intact.
The officers nearly always develop
an uncanny, marble, staring look. as
though they had grown accustomed
TO look unshrudderingly at the ter
tors and the desolating orgies of de-
struction. and finally felt that their
eyes had become a mirror of The
horrible. 1t is as though the claws
Of a demon had seized their faces
and made their eyes sink deeper into
their hollows They are all changed,
they have seen the head of the
iorgon in the Region of Night.

Suwannee county pulled oil" a
splendid county fair last week in
which there were fine exhibits of the
products of that rich and growing
territory and large crowds were in
attendance. But, unfortunately.
what seems to have been a cruel
murder of an unarmed seventeen
year-old boy by a pair of pistol-tot-
ers was performance Of a very diff
ferent kind pulled of and the fair
grounds to bring into sharp con-
trast the methods of barbarism and
civilization Blood-dripping exhib-
its of that kind do infinite discredit
to us all hare in Florida in the eyes
Of the outside world, for no matter
how fine the fair nor how intelli-
gent, amiable and law-abiding the
overwhelming majority of those in
attendance. the two pistol-toters
shooting an unarmed youth to death
on the fair grounds will be the cruel
and shocking spectacle that will stay
longer in the vision of the visitors
than all the good features of the
fair. A censorious world is quick to
judge us bv our worst and fail to see

MILLIONS OF FROGS LEFT BY
FLOOD IN ORLANDO

while the residents of South Lake
street awoke from their stumble
tuesday morning and looked out up-
on their lawns, yards and the street.
the sight which greeted them was
one they will not soon forget There
were thousands of small spring
frogs jumping all over the face OF
creation. There were more of these
little creatures than Garter had
oats.
Just where they came from was
AT first beyond the comprehension of
the Wiseacres or the Oldest inhabi-
tant No one could be found for
some time who could explain the
cause OF the invasion They were
not at all like the Irishman's flea
they were all going in one direction
and We're making tracks northward
as fast as they could.
After Investigating the matter. il
was learned that they all came from
the land recently overlooked by the
tidal wave" which visited this seq.
ton some days ago. and were largely
in their element in the Johnstown
section. After the waters had pass
ea from the face of the earth. and
these creatures were left high and
dry on terra firma, they began hop
ring aroGnd, and many had managed
tc reach that thoroughfare.

AN ASTOUNDING OUTRAGE

Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad" is trite enough.
but true as trite, and in nothing is
1t better illustrated than in the stu
pid, laundering policies and devices
u the liquor people to stay the tide
OF prohibition. Their raw and inef-
tective methods. sometimes degener-
ating to brutality, have just received
fresh illustration over in Orlando
where the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union of Florida has been in
session for several days. On Wednes-
Gay afternoon three lady delegates TO
the convention rom Marion county
were arrested on warrants sent from
that county on charge of larceny.
and as there ;" a wet and dry cleo
ton now in progress in Marion it
fc believed that spite AGAINST these
prohibition delegates and a purpose
to publicly humiliate them was the
real motive back of the arrest.
Spread that news in Marion county
and the vets are sure to be defeated
Commenting on the outrage the Or
lando Reporter-Star says;
Language does not possess words
of adequate force to denounce such
a despicablc scheme as il deserves.
The matter seems to have grown out
OF bitter wet or dry fight now be-
ing waged in Marion county. Any
thing to discredit the prohibition
workers appears not too low or con-
temptible or the wet side to concoct !
or attempt The vets have over
stepped the mark, however, and the
Orlando escapade will bring their side
into the utter disreputs which ii de-
serves and will undoubtedly be the
means Of many falling away from
them and turning to prohibition
Never was a dirtier scheme conceived
in a scalawag's head than that exc
cuted in Orlando yesterday after
noon at the instance and in the inter-
est of the saloon gang Of Marion
county. ,

Escamoia having followed the lead
CT Polk in proposed million dollar
bond issue for good roads. the State
press continues to comment on the
fine public spirit of the people of
these two rich and growing counties
and TO give them valuable advertis-
ing. The good roads propaganda has
spread all over Florida, and as the
argument is all one way and there
can be no intelligent or convincing
theory AGAINST the value of the roads
and the imperative need for them,
no county turns down the proposition
and we have bright hopes here in
Folk that the bonds will be voted
when the election takes place. Here
Is an example, taken from a leading
article in the Jacksonville Metrop-
ellis of the way the State papers are
talking about us:
And what Polk is doing, a great
majority Of the fifty counties of the
State are doing, some to a lesser de-
gree. Such progressive citizens full

Is probably nothing that can con-
tribute more to the development and

permanent highways. Both Polk |
and Escambia are to be congratulate
ed for their enterprise, for they have
launched scheme that overshadows
all other like moves in the State
since the spirit of better roads has |
taken such hold on the people. |
This has all been within the past
year. During the past six months !
in the neighborhood of $4,000, 900 |
