WANTED A white woman
 without children to take
 charge of kitchen and din-
 ing room and do house clan
 ing. Good home for the
 right one.
 Address: P. o. box 147,
 Ozark, Ark.
 A party of Dr. E. w. Black burns friends gave him sur prise birthday party at his home Thursday evening. that being his 40th birthday. His mother, Mrs. J. T. Donnell. is giving him a dinner today.
 A lady received the following reply from a neighbor in answer question as to why she allowed her children and her husband to litter up every room in the house. The sentiment will find lodg- ment in the heart of every home lovlng person in the land: The marks of little muddy feet upon the floor can be more easily removed than the stains where the little feet go into the high ways of sin. The prints of the little fingers upon the window panes cannot shut out the sun shine half so much as the shadow that darkenS the mother heart over the one who will be but a name in the coming years, And if my John finds home a refuge from care, and his greatest hap piness within it's four walls, he can put his boots in the rocking chair and hang h,s hat on the floor any day in the week. And if 1 can stand 1t and he enjoys it, 1 cannot see that 1t is any bOdy's business. "-Nichols.

We have ascertained the rea-
son of the Wauchula Advocate
for refusing political advertise
ments. Editor Goolsby gave 1t IN
conversation with this scribe.
When a merchant advertises, said
Goolsby, the editor cordially com
mends him to the public; the edl-
tor virtually vouches for his adj
vertising patrons; but, when a
candidate advertises, if the editor
.disapproves of him, he is shown
ND in the editorial columns as un-
worthy and incompetent and peo'
pie are warned against him. In
brief, Goolsby's position is that a
publisher should not accept an adj
vertisement from any man whom
he cannot conscientiously com
mend to public favor,

Obstacles to Marriage

Robert f. Weir, age "a years,
who, ten months ago, married a
daughter of Congressman Frank
Clark, was recently arrested
in st. Louis ON the charge
of having embezzled $4,000 of his
money. He admitted
the charge and said that he had
used the money to pay his house
hold expenses, as his salary was
not sufficient to meet them.

feed and clothe my wife and my
self, and we were not extrava-

"He found, he said, he could
not support his wife in the fash

should expect, although his wife
was economical. The least on
which young married couple
can live is $125.00 a month,
though, he said, he did not wish
to discourage anyone contemplat-
ing matrimony On a smaller i'll

Other young men have made the
same mistake that Weir did. 1t
is a wonder that more of them
have not done so.
Before he proposed marriage
he should have stated his position
candidly and fully to Miss Clark
Explaining to her that he coult
not support her in the style tt
which she was accustomed; that
lif she married him, they would
have to eschew balls, social func
Itions, theatres, joy-rides in auto
mobiles and other expensive pleas

The Key to the Problem

The great problem in the orange
growing region Of Florida has,
been and is how to get remunera-
tive prices for fruit. People out
side of the fruit-growing industry,
as well as the producers themselv-
es, are deeply interested in this
problem, as, on its proper solution,
the prosperity of this whole re-
gion depends. The best thinkers
of those who are not fruit growers,
including practically all of the alb
lest editors of the state newspa-
pers, are united in the belief that
the key to the situation is found
in the Florida Citrus Exchange,
which is an organization of grow
ers operating upon the co-opera-
tive plan, the only sort of a plan
that offers any prospects of sue
cess.
If this institution controlled so
per cent. Of the citrus crop, as it
should do, there is no doubt that
satisfying prices would result. We
think no one will dispute this. 1t
| is, therefore, passing strange that
some growers not only refuse to
join the exchange and cooperate
with it for their own benefit, but
stay outside and do all they car
to discrcdit it. They owe it t.
themselves to become members O.
it and assist their brother growers
of whom the exchange is compos
ed, in attaining the objects TO
which it was organized.
There is nothing else to take tn
: place of the exchange. Abolis
, it, and the present fruit crop
would not net the growers enoug
to pay for picking, packing an
hauling the fruit to the rallroa
/ stations. 1t would seem that e
: cry grower would realize tn
s fact; that, with the exchange OF
n of business, he would be at Il
G mercy of the sharps who are TO
f ever doing all they can to depre
: prices.
y If any grower thinks that the
d are features in the exchange tn
it need correction, Improvement

r. p. Burton of Leesburg, for
mer sales manager for the Citrus
Exchange, who has recently re-
turned from a protracted visit to
the big Western and Eastern mar
kets, reports to the Leesburg Com
mercial that the orange market
will open at 1926 to $3.50 per box
f. o. b. shipping point, with
grapefruit at around $500. The
continuance of these prices, he
says, depends solely upon the pro-
ducers exercising proper care ano
caution in selling their fruit anc
especially in the matter of ship
ping fruit that is not ready To-
the consumer. The shipment o
unfit fruit, he warns, will kill tn
market.

He can do no good, but much

which the fruit-growing
