SIZING UP THE
CITRUS SECTION
OUTLOOK IS PROMISING FOR A GOOD AND WELL
HANDLED CROP OF ORANGES

Mr.. A. r. Sandlin and his guests,
the committee appointed by the Ocala
Citrus Packing House Association to
go with him and inspect different
packing houses in the Lake region
section, returned last night from
their trip of nearly 300 miles. In the
party were Messrs. S. T. Sistrunk, E.
L. Carney of Ocala, Mr.. Brooks of
Oklawaha and Mr.. j. H. Mathews of
Gambler.
The gentlemen made their first
stop Thursday at Leesburg, where
they went through one of the big
packing houses there. From there
they went to Tavares and inspected
Il packing house there, thence to Eus-
tis, and looked over one packing
house; thence to Umatilla, where
three houses were inspected, and then
to Orlando, where they spent the
night and inspected three houses.
Yesterday, Friday, they went to
Winter Park and viewed the "brag
packing house of the state" as it
was called when erected by Mr.. Tenn
pie, the father of the Florida Citrus
Exchange. From there the party
went to Maitland, where they went
all over the huge packing house built
by Mr.. Sandlin, himself. This house
is 130 $50 feet, is owned by Walter
Drennen Co., and is beauty, it has
double outfit, each capable of pack
when both are running. They went
back to Orlando for dinner yester-
day and then went to Winter Gar
den, where they called on our former
citizen G. ]. Stroller, now growing
rich in that prosperous section, and
then on to Tildenville and the South
Lake Apopka Associations house, one
of the very best in the state, and
from there to Mount Verde and on
home via Leesburg.
The party saw almost every sized
packing house, and machinery of diff
ferent sizes, and capacity and most
all of the different manufacturers
They now have a good idea of pack
ing houses and packing house ma
chinery and how to arrange them and
| this information will be of great val
ue to them in the work to be done in
Ocala.
/ Mr.. Sadler, a director of the Ex-
change, met the party at Tildenville
and gave them a great deal of infor-
/ nation and one of the directors was
with them at Tavares.
! Mr.. B. E. Morrell, of Tampa, chief
packing house inspector for the Ex-
change will be in Ocala Monday and
will stay with the committee as long
as his services or advice can be OF
any assistance to them.
The committee will now be practi-
cally In continuous session till al
plans for the house have been set
tied upon and the machinery bought
and the house leased or its construc.
ton commenced.
The committee is much pleased ov.
er its trip and all of the member:
saw something new and some o1
them had never seen that part of the
state. They are very grateful to Mr.
Sandlin for the fine trip and the op
portunity he gave them to see 81
much that is of value to them.

MAY BE PROTECTED
Luning Takes a Long Step Toward
Strengthening Out the
Florida Life

Tallahassee, Aug. 20.-The follow
ing circular letter, being sent out to
all the policy holders of the Florida
Life Insurance Company, will be of
interest to the general public. 1t will
be remembered that some weeks ago
the Florida Life Insurance Co. was
placed in the hands of j. c. Luning,

missioner, as receiver. Mr.. Luning
has given his usual prompt attention
TO the business and now announces
the reinsurance of all the business
of the company.
II is understood that the contract
with the Inter-Southern Life Insur-
ance Company provides for the pay
ment in full of all death-claims ac-
cruing prior to the receivership i'm
mediately after Sept. 80, 1915, the
reinsurance date, and that for five
years all death claims are guaranteed
in full. Complete details of the con-
tract of reinsurance viii be avail
able in a few days.
Mr.. Luning deserves great credit
for his efforts to protect the policy
holders and is to be congratulated on
the splendid success which has re-
suited. His letter to the policy hold
ers follows.

SOME fine GAMES
Palatka Team Here for Three Days
Next Week and Raleigh, n. c.
Nine Coming in September

Manager Hunter informs the Star
that the Palatka team will be here for
three days next week-Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. Palatka has
one Of the best teams in the state. It
has bested all the mines in its terri
tory, and few days ago took a game
from the famous Nebraska Indians,
who are about the same as profession
ais.
The Raleigh, N. C., team, one Of
the best amateur mines in the South,
will be here during the third week in
September if the proper arrange
ments can be made. This is a high
class team, and only goes where it is
sure of a good game.
Both the mines are odds against the
home team, but the Ocala boys will
do their best. The Star hopes the
people will turn out in force to see
the games, and give baseball a lit
tie money over to do needed work
during the winter season.

Tat Ambassador Gerard will proba-

Luning's Letter
Jacksonville, Aug. 19. 10

Jacksonville, Aug. 10, 1915.
Dear Sir: By order of the court,
the business and assets of the Florida
Life Insurance Company were placed
in my custody on the ninth day of
July, 1915.
After having control for a few
weeks, / realized that, owing to the
character of the assets and the un-
certainty and doubt in the minds of
the policy holders as TO the ultimate
outcome. great many Of the policy
holders were unwilling TO continue
paying the premiums on their poll
cies. This situation, TO my mind, pre-
cluded the possibility Of a successful
continuation of the business by me, as
/ was unable TO furnish them any
guarantees. Having become eonvinc-
ed of this fact, at once began nego-
tiations with several life insurance
companies with a view to re-insuring
the policy holders in some solvent
company.
am very much gratiied to be able
TO announce 10 you that this has been
accomplished, arrangements having
been perfected with the Inter-South-
ern Life Insurance Company OF
Louisville, KY, to this effect Said
arrangement has received the sane
tion and approval Of the court, whose
agent / am. Full details of this ar
rangement, together with a blank
form of agreement for you to ex-
ecute, transferring your policy TO tbs
Inter-Southern Life Insurance Com.
pany, will be mailed you within the
next ten or twelve days
