its estimate Of the Florida citrus
crop. The entire issue is largely
devoted to citrus statistics the
country over, and many facts Of
interest are brought out. We
quote the following
The Florida citrus crop for
the season I0I5-I0 is estimated at
100000 boxes. The estimate
is based on reports from growers
and shippers who are located at
'arious points in the state and
Who have assisted The Packer
with authentic information on
the subject. These estimates
place the orange crop at about 10
per cent. and the grapefruit crop
10 per cent short of last season.
The citrus fruit shipments last
wear were 1886 cars OF grape
fruit and 1870 cars of oranges.
There were about 100000 boxes
of grapefruit and tangerines and
100000 boxes of oranges, total
ing about 100000 boxes OF cit
rus fruir The pac'-tr's estimate
o crop at tn" bc%,nnin. OF the
season was 100000 boxes.

MINISTER URGES
 WAR ON DISEASE:
Pastor Waldrip of Lakeside Church Discusses Disease
 and Preventives.

A strong plea for the people of Pine Bluff to adept preventative measures in health matters was made Sunday evening at the Lakeside Methedist church by the pastor, Rev. Marion Nelson Waldrip, who prod led these who gre wont to see the hand of God in disease and death
 "It is a disgrace to have typhoid " he declared and demonstrated the accuracy of the observation by ex- plaining how the gsrms are transmit ted. indicating human beings and the fly for eases and deaths th2t many accept as tn Decree of God.
 "A fly, carrying the typhoid germ, comes in through the window. He elights cn tho babye lips. The baby becomes ill and dies. Then, folk gather around and say that God has taken the soul of the child. God didn't do it The fly did it." declared Dr Waidrip
 The minister complimented the city's water saying he believed l. the purest he had ever drunk, and then explained how typhoid. tubercd lCSlS dIlu HldlEIld aie UT tH III It H'i. He ventured the opinion that pellagra is transmitted by flies and bedbugs. and, in impressive manner, emphasized the need for the alopc,oTi here of better me hods of conserving health than are now followed.
 Urges Citizens to Act,
 He urged the citiz ns individually to abolish the breeding places Of flies and mosquitoes, and collectively to urge up6n the mayor and city council to take steps to insure pure milk and pure food for the people. Epigrammitically he summed up rae health lesson, saying:
 'fNo flies, no typhoid"
 "No spit no tuberculosis
 ''No mosquitoes, no malaria"
 Mir. Waldrip also showed that as matter of .self-prots ction, the white people should not only them salves adopt disease preventive mess~ ures, but they should b. health mis- sionaries among he negroes. This, because of the danger through the close association here of the races.
 The address was declared one of the best cn health measures heard here. and Mr. Waldrip was com mended for discussing this all-im- portant subject from the pulpit.

In certain conditions of flight, too, 1t is often hard for him to use 8 pencil and paper.

 Happiness Duty.
 The better we understand life, the mcre we come to the realization of the fact that happiness Is a duty. It sig nifies that we are working in harmony with the laws of our being. It is one of the concomitants of righteousness. Righteousness in its last analysis will be found to be living in right relations with the laws of our being and with the laws of the universe abo0 us This attitude, this habit of happiness. is also A benetIt to others. As cheer fulEess induces cheerfu!uess i'll others, so happiness inspires and induces hap. piness. We communicate this condt cone back in turn from them to us again. As anger inspires anger. as iove and sympathy inspire love and sympathy ir others. each of It's kind. so cheerfulness and happiness inspire the samL .n others.-Ralph Waldo T-ina
