GEORGIANS TESTIFY
TO MAYR'S REMEDY
Lives Redeemed; Ruined Fortunes
in Health Are Recovered

in Health Are recovered
Most of the problems OF health
originate in the stomach. Most OF
these ailments can be cured. Thou-
sands of people right in the State OF
Georgia are needlessly suffering
from stomach troubles, while thou
sands of others have found health
by the use of Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy. The first dose of this re-
markable remedy is proof. Here are
the words of two Georgians who
have used it:

bottle of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy

Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives
permanent results for stomach,
liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as
much and whatever you like. No

lutte guarantee-if not satisfactory

How To Write To An Editor

tives are smoke.
Don't do fine writing. The editor
does not want literature. He al
ready has books full of it. He wants
to know what you have to say.
Don't apologize. Don't be sar-
lcastic. Don't be bitter. But you
can be as funny as you please.
State the gist of your measure
right in the first sentence. Don't
use preliminaries. Don't try to
prepare the editors mind to receive
YOUR idea. He keeps it prepared all
the time.
Don't use long sentences. Make
your statements as short as you
can; then copy your letter and
make them shorter. Use periods.
Eschew semicolons
Ideas are what the editor wants.
He is as hungry for them as cat
is for fish. He does not want elo-
quent nor gorgeous phrases.
Write affirmatively. Don't COM
bat. Don't defend State your
opinion in positive terms. Let your
opponents do the defending.
If you want an answer, enclose a
postal card addressed to yourself.
Be satisfied with mere courteous
acknowledgement of the receipt of
your letter.
If the editor does not print your
letter, don't take it to heart. There
may be twenty reasons for not
printing it, besides the reason that
he does not like it or is afraid to
publish it.
Editors are only men. Don't
shoot them. They are doing the
best they can.
And rest assured that if your
communication is short, clear,
typewriter and gentlemanly, the
editor will either present it to his
readers or be sorry he cannot

Watermelon Market
Is Improving

operators are of the opinion that the
outlook is good for the melon deal.
A late dispatch from Jacksonville
to the New York Packer says:
The Florida melon growers and
shippers certainly got busy last
week. There were SS7 cars of
melons moved to different markets.
OF these, 376 cars moxed to the CEN
trail and western states, 400 cars
north of Savannah and 1902 cars to
southern points. The total this
season to June &c has been l,534
cars.
The melons moving the past week
have been of much better quality
and larger sizes but prices have
fallen off considerably. Thirty
pound melons the past week were
being offered at $75 and 500 per
car f. o. b. track. These same
melons were sold the week previous
at $l75 and 5000 f. o. b. The
South Florida crop is practically
done and shipments are now being
made from I.eesburg and all melon
sections north of that point
Hastings Watermelons are NOV
ing in CARROTS. The quality is ex-
cellent. There is only small
acreage in this section but the fruit
is fine
Lady Melons are being
loaded daily at this point
Leesburg- Cantaloupes and mel
ons in the Leesburg section are
moving freely by carlots and eX-
press There are many buyers on
the ground.
Live Oak-James Johnson and
Bradley Mills made the first ship
ment of melons from this section to
New York. The melon crop in
northwest Florida is moving freely
and heavy shipments were made
his week.

The editor of a newspaper likes

A late Chicago dispatch to the
New York Packer says:
The watermelon market was III
better shape this week than it was
a week ago, and prices and trading
both showed improvement. Receipts
were heavier as the week advanced
but they were taken care of with
out much difficulty and the market
was kept cleaned up in good shape.
Sales were made here this week
at $3.50 and $500 per car, with oc-
casional cars of large sizes bringing
as high as $3.50. A car of ~
pound average which reached here
Tuesday sold at $3.50, and a car OF
similar size brought 1925 Wednes-
day. Good 2S-pound average mel
ons brought up to $500 during the
week.
The weather was warm and fav-
orable. and gave the impetus to the
market which was needed all dur
ing June, and which failed to ma
terialize until this week. Buyers be-
gan taking hold more freely and
trade assumed normal summer prop
ortions. 1t was the opinion of oper-
ators that the market was in better
condition for the Fourth of July
trade than it was a year ago. Re-
ceipts included offerings from both
Florida and Georgia this week, and
by the middle of the week arrivals
were as high as 80 cars Local OPP
orators are turning most of their
atteition to Georgia now inasmuch
as freight rates are cheaper from
Georgia points than from Florida.

The Flagler has theunlooked dis
tinction of never having missed

considering the seven round trips

rough, is considered remarkable.

Jacksonville, July 6-The charter
for the Florida State Fair and Ex-
position Company was adopted by
the board of directors at its first

of the company is to be managed by
a president first vice president,
such vice presidents as may be pro-
vided by the bylaws, secretary, a
treasurer and board of thirteen
directors, of which the president
and vice president will probably be
ex-officio members.
Harry B. Iioyt was elected vice
president and George Hardee, bith
accepting the offices temporarily.

State Cooperation Sought
A committee composed of II. II.
Simmons as chairman George Mason
and O. Brownell was appointed to
arrange for meeting here of rep
resentatives from each county in
the State, to take place probably
the last Thursday in July. Mr.
Mason volunteered the free use of
rooms in his hotel for the delegates.
1t was suggested that the committee
invite the executives or their repre-
sentatives of esach of the county
fair organizations in the State to be
present at this meeting to repre-
sent their counties.
For those counties that have no

and a dearth of entertainments and at
fractions at other times.
This fall is a good time to observe
the benefits of the Investigation of
farm crops. Those who depend upon
the one or two crop idea meet with
failure oftener than those who try q
variety of crops. This year has been
almost disastrous to those who depend
ed upon their corn crop alone. The
poor season for the growing Of corn,
which IS a semi-tropical plant, and the
early frosts have brought disappoint-
ment to many who could lily afford the
loss Of their one crop. All kinds of
small grain yielded beautifully and the
farmer who tried four or five kinds Of
crops will not feel the loss of one so
kcenly. The procession OF wagons
loaded with potatoes hat we see every
day is helping out the men who have
foresight enough to diversity in crops.
