CHARGED With Stealing

Wallace Grace, aged 80 years, claiming
Woodbury. as his home, was arrested last
Friday by Deputy Sheriff Jonas Stevens,
charged with stealing $l3 90, from Fran
Jones. who lives on McKinstry Hill. and
at whose place he was stopping. 1t seems
that Grace was ''looking for place to
put in cider mill'' and had visited that
locality for that purpose. Sheriff Ste
Vens found the man at Col. Wheeler's
and gave him thorough examination,
but failed to find the money on his per-
son. He was, however, arrested and
shortly after word was sent that "the
money had been found under the lounge
where Grace had been sitting" He was
given hearing before Justice Lafountain
and held for action by the grand jury
next December. Meanwhile he is domi-
ciled at the county Jail. There are those
who believe the man is "more sinned
against than SHINING"

Facts About Printing

George Goulsby, of the Wauchula AID
vocate, is quaint character. He's a
bit brusque and blunt in his remarks
but he is able to put his statement in
words the meaning of which is perfectly
plain to the reader. Read what he has
to say about printing. 1t will give you
valuable information and at the same
time amuse you with it's quaintness
Here it is:
| Paper costs from three cents to fifty
cents per pound; printers ink costs from
five cents tofive dollars per pound.
| yet when smooth tongued salesman
t! comes around and offers to sell letter
heads at SOC per thousand less than the
home printer, Mr.. Business Man thinks
now is the time to get bargain.
ut would be just as sensible to GO out
of town and buy the biggest suit of
clothes that could be had for SO.
"There is just as much difference in
paper as there is in cloth; there is just
as much difference in the work on a pair
of oYerals and the work on broadcloth
suit of clothes.
Merchants and business men ask the
local paper to knock mail order houses
and yet the first smooth salesman of the
foreign printing concern that comes along
loads them up with enough printing to
last them for years.
Naturally printing is cheaper in great
quantities than it is in small quantities.
If the local printer overloads him. they
would never forgive him; if the foreign
salesman overloads them, they can grin
and bear it.
"Of course if you believe Buzzard e.
Co., of st. Louis, do more to boost your
town and your business than the local
printer, you should give them your bust
ness.
"If Vulture and Co., of Baltimore,
gave you the best write-up when you
were married, another when the first
baby arrived to tighten your home, and
column when the baby grows to man
hood and is married. and finally will de-
vote column to your demise when your
race is run, there is good reason foi pat
ronizing them.
"But We are glad that Florida editors
are learning more about that little game

will scratch yours"

ABOUT THE "BABCoCK TEST

Mr.. Editor
There is feeling among farmers OF
this vicinity that the Babcock test is no,
a sure means of determining the amount
of butter in cream. The local creamery,
realizing this condition, has recently in
stalled small Stoddard barrel churn for
the purpose of demonstrating the &C.
curacy of the test. Three demonstrations
have been made and the results all agree
exactly. A can of cream was taken as it
came from the patron, was weighed and
sampled in the usual way, and then the
sample was tested at once. Then the
cream was ripened over night and churn.
ed in the small churn. Following are
the figures for one test: 40 lbs. cream
churned out 1915 lbs. butter, 40 lbs.
cream tested ~ IL per cent and would
therefore carry 134s lbs. of butter fat.
Adding to this churn-gain of 16 % per
cent and it equals Is. 70 lbs. butter, which
was the amount that was churned out.
On the other churnings the churn- gain
was Is per cent and II per cent respec-
lively. This proves that the tests on
these cans of cream were correct, as
churn. gain of 16 2-3 to 20 per cent is
considered by authority perfectly legiti-

No matter which one, but 90 somewhere
You will like it after getting used to it.
Besides it sets good example for the

and get into the car. Then you will feel
