The persistent eHOfIS una
Gorda truckers have put forth Tor
some months are now beginning to
bear fruit. After repeatedly los
ing out ON their paintings because
of UNUSUAL and unfavorable wealth
err they now see results from
adhering to their slogan "Plant
Again. -
There may be seen in and a.
round Punta GOrda some Of the
finest crops that have ever been
grown here, and there is a larger
acreage in cultivation than has ev-
err before been given over to vege-
tables. And the best part OF 1t
all, there's prospects of the grow
ers getting good returns on what
they have to ship.
It's tribute to perseverance,
for the Punta Gorda growers have
stuck faithfully to their fields
when everything has been discour-
aging. Their "star of hope" has
been in the fact that this is not
the only section of the state where
weather conditions have been a.
gainst the trucker-similar cOndi-
tons have prevailed pretty much
all over Florida.
The Punta Gorda trucker, how
ever, feels that he will be better
prepared for such conditions an
other season-better drainage is
now available and it is probable
that more irrigation systems will
be put in this summer.
Lot shipments of tomatoes,
beans, peppers and cucumbers are
now moving daily from here by
express. In fact the shipments
by express are now averaging
higher than for the same time in
any previous season. The aver
age number of crates moving daily
is about one hundred. This will
increase greatly within the next
few days.
About three hundred acres are
in truck here, there being larger
acreage in tomatoes than in any
one other vegetable. Consequent
Ily there will be more tomatoes
than anything else to move from
here.
By the first of the month car.
lot shipments of stuff will begin
going forward. Preparations are
now being made at local packing
house to begin moving stuff by
the carload at that time.
Tomatoes will go forward rap.
idly after this week and the heavy
shipping will continue for month
or longer.
There are as yet no buyers here
but it is probable that much of the
stuff will be sold ON the tracks
here. There will be an opportuni.
ty for buyers who wish to take
the stuff and pay for it here, as
the growers prefer that kind of
deal.
The truck from here is of ex
ceptionally fine quality and should
find a good demand at top prices
! in the markets of the country.

catel, Margaret Green, Nina Ladner
invited quite number of their young
friends to the home OF Miss Vivian Du-
catel Sunday night to a halloween par
ty, which, it is needless to say, was a
most enjoyable affair. The guests were

they ducked for apples. The apples
were in two tubs-one for girls and the
other for boys. The apples in one were
inscribed with the names of girls and
the other for the boys likewise. The
guests were attired in ghost-like cos
tunes and the four hostesses represent
ed witches. The phantom like guests
surrounded one of the guests and asked
questions, the answers to which were re-
flected in mirror. All parties then
proceeded to the dining room. There
on tables were candles with different
colored ribbons. The center candle was
taller than the others and was lighted.
The boy or girl who succeeded in
throwing brass ring over the lighted
candle, without extinguishing it, was to
have abundant luck throughout the
wear. but woe to he who failedi The
other candles had different meanings.
On the other side of the table fourteen
Lighted candles had to be extinquished

guests blindfolded. As many candles
were thus extinguished would be an in

elapse before ones favorite wish would
