a WORD WITH YOU, Daddy
The great days are here, Daddy.
It's time to lay off on the book and
pipe to tell stories.
Stories stories about what? Well,
for goodness sake, about Santa
Claus.
Take Johnny-or take the whole
bunch-oh your knees.
"Once upon a time a little boy
went snoopin' around when the big
folks at his house didn't know he was
there, and he heard them talking
about BUYING Christmas presents.
So he kept thinking over this silly
talk till he decided that Santa Claus
was only a make-believe man.
"But when he went to bed the
night before Christmas he was so
worried about it that he couldn't
sleep, and he spent several hours
with his eyes wide, wide open.
Gust as the big clock downstairs
struck TWELVE he heard an awful
racket, like a door slamming, and
iron things rafting, and something
thrown on the floor, and man walk
ing around-and he slipped out of
bed and crept downstairs, and there,
standing near the Christmas tree was
a fat man, smiling in happy way
as he took things out of bag that
lay on the floor.
But a loose board under the lit
tie boys right foot made a creaky
noise, and he hustled back upstairs
and jumped into his bed and pulled
the quilts over his head. D.,

Funta Gorda Pines in Boston

The Boston Advertiser Of Aug.
Goth ult. says: MANY visitors to
the State House yesterday morn
ing were attracted by four large
boxes of pineapples, which | was
told Ex-Governor A. w. Gilchrist
OF Florida; had forwarded In
comparison with the pineapples
which arc ordinarily sold in Bos-
ton, | am inclined to think that we
have been securing an inferior
grade, for the specimens from the
Florida state were almost enough
to make one feel like taking a trip
to our sister Southern state just to
secure few pineapples.
The Boston Globe of Aug. 28th,
says: "He is willing to go and, at
this distance, it looks as though
Florida ought to send Ex-Gov.
Gilchrist to the United States Sen
ate. He could brighten up the
Congressional Record considera-
bly,. Look what he pinned to each
pineapple that he distributed at

this fine pine will make you pine
for another fine pine. -

insects in seeking shelter collect
around the stem-end of the fruit
In feeding there they cause injur-
les and soweaken the fruit that
the spores Of the fungus gains en-
trance.
1t is also likely that stem-end
rot will follow melonose, although
lit is not certain. 1t is not abso-
Ilutely certain that the presence of
scale indicates a future attack OF
the rot, but it is highly probable
and for that reason bad practice
to allow the scales to remain III
the grove. II. +. Stevens, plant
pathologist to the University Of
Florida Experiment Station, adj
vises the grower to spray for the
scales at least once a month dur
ing the fall and early winter.
Any of the contact insecticides
or oil sprays will kill the insects
Whale-oil soap, pound to 4 gal
Ions of water, if the water is hard,
or | pound to gallons if the wa
ter is soft, is good spray. This
soap however is rather expensive
now and the following formula by
w. w. Yothers may be used in
stead: Two gallons paraffine oil
| gallon water; 2 pounds whale
oil soap or 2 bars Of Octagon soap.
Mix the ingredients, heat to boil
ing, emulsify while still hot by
pumping from the kettle into a.
barrel, then to another barrel with
a hand force pump This formu-
la is cheaper than some of the,
others in which a great deal of the
whale-oil soap is used.
Several diseases work together
and are responsible in a measure
for the rot. The honey-dew from
the whitcfy affords medium for
sooty mold which in turn gives
protection to purple scale. The
purple scales cause injuries a.
round the stem-end or under the
,alyx which afford entrance to the
fungus. If this infection takes
place late in the season decay may
1ot set in until the fruit has been
picked and shipped.

Newspapers which are raising
such a hue and cry for a legisla-
ture of business men doubtless
forget that there were probably
more business men and wealthy
ones at that in the last Florida
Legislature than there have been
before in many, many years. A
very prominent banker was
Speaker of the House and there
were quite number of bankers
among the membership of the
two houses. John j. Paul of Wa
tertown, one of the Columbia
members of the house, is doubt
less near, if not quite a million

stores industries were well repre-

men, the merchants or the big
farmers without representation.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES

Editor Herald:
With your permission, we de-
sire to call the attention of the
good people of Punta Gorda to
the Associated Charities, organic
ed several months ago. The re-
spective churches and a number
of individuals had been dispens-
ing their charities in a promis-
cuous way, and it was often dupli-
Gated, since designing parties
would apply to number at the
same time or get a friend to take
around a paper soliciting help.

but at the same time help the
needy and eliminate the unworthy
the Associated Charities was or
ganized.
We have a committee that in
vestigates every case, and ON rec
ommendation Of this committee,
the president gives an order on
the treasurer, the treasurer then
gives order for provisions, cloth
ing or medicine, as the case may
require.
We have an annual assessment
of $1,00 each on our members and
the city donates $500 per month.
We hope in this way to meet the
needs of the worthy objects of
charity in our midst.
We also try to find employment
for those able to work and would
appreciate it if parties employing
help would list with us. Our lad
