CITRUS CANkER is
BEING WIPED OUT IN
THIS DISTRICT
Favorable Progress Being Made In
Fight Against Disease and Few
Infections Now Being Found

Miami. April S.-Reports of Chief
Inspector Joy Heck last nights meet
ing of the Dade County Fruit Growers
and Truckers association showed fav-
orable progress in the fight being
waged against citrus canker in Dade
and Broward counties. Mr.. Heck
stated that for three months 269 prop
critics in Dade and Broward counties
have been found clean of canker, or
90 per cent. of the total properties
which have been infected. No infec-
ton has been found south of the Mi
ami river since March 16. while most
of the infected properties north of the
river are along Biscayne Drive.
During the month of March this
year II trees were found infected in
Dade and Broward counties, while
during the same month last year SIS
trees were found infected A new
infection was found last month in the
B. \ Jones grove at Little River.
This is of especial interest because
the trees in this grove We're planted
from the Miami Floral company's
nursery in May of 1914 and we have
every reason to believe that the in
lection came from that place 1t
shows how long canker can lie dor
mant. for we have paid particular
rare TO the inspection of the Jones
grove and found no canker there un-
til last month";
The money contained in the urgen-
cy deficiency bill passed some weeks
ago by the United States congress is
now available for use in this country
and the local work is being carried
on directly through Washington.

out the State is that which carries the
news that Hon, Adrian P. Jordan, of
Punta Gorda, has decided to become
a candidate for Secretary of State.
For the past thirty years Mr.. Jordan
has edited weekly newspapers in Flor
ida. and there has not been a week
in all that time that he has not done
something to boost Florida. to carry
the praises of the State abroad. and to
assist in it development There is not
a man in Florida better acquainted
with public matters, or better fitted
for the position of Secretary of State
than A. p. Jordan. He is a clean, ca
pable, courtly and courteous gentle
man, whose character and qualifica-
tions measure up to the highest stand
ard, and he is enimently deserving of
the recognition he now asks at the
hands of the people of the State he
has served so long and faithfully.

him as an ally and supporter.
Spencer represented Marion county

baby of the House. He developed rap
idly. however. and before the session

At gathering of representative
citizens recently the statement was
made that, in the speakers opinion,
candidate for the Legislature from
this county, who came out squarely
for "no-fence law" could be elect
ed. There were about seventeen gen
tlemen present, and there was only
one who disagreed with the view ex-
pressed by the speaker. OF course, in
the rural districts the sentiment
would be different; but the newt
able march of progress will bring
about this change, and people who
have stock will fence it up, and peo-
Pile who wish to grow a small crop
will not have to build an expensive
fence to protect their labor from the
depredations of stock.

WHAT THE SOCIETY EDITOR
WOULD REALLY LIKE TO PRINT

There are days, even in the bright
lexicon of a newspaper, when no one
no one seems to feel it her duty to
enliven the social whirl with tea in
the guise of reception salad, sand
witches and ices, when every one is
waiting for someone else to start
something and when every event on
the social calendar, seems, like
Alices wages, to be jam for very
other day, jam yesterday and jam
tomorrow, but never by the widest
stretch of the Imagination, today.
1t is such days as these that give
to the society editor material for i'm
agination rather than that stern ad-
herence to hard facts which distin-
guish newspapers from ordinary iic-
ton. 1t is then that visions of what
society life in Miami could really be
like if social affairs were only plan
ned with more consideration for the
editor aforesaid, Surely, if some pub
lie spirited hostess would realize the
situation, something might be done

asm for work in manual training and
domestic science, he has created a SEN
timent for better school conditions
which is manifesting itself in the
erection of many modern rural and
graded school buildings which are
fully equipped for carrying on this in
dustrial work.
Supt. L. D. Harvey, of the Stout In
stitute, gave short talk on the need
of better trained teachers for carrying
on this work especially in the rural
schools, and he told of his plans for
organizing course with the above
needs in view, in connection with the
summer session of the Stout Institute
at Menomonie
Ten minute talks were given on each
of the following subjects: School FANS,
A. M. Arveson, Langlade County: Citl-
zens' Conference, Frances Bannach,
Portage County; Evening Meetings,
R. C. Bigford, Waupaca County; Boys
and Girls Clubs, E. c. Brick, Grant
County.
The Association Meeting was follow
ed by two-day session of the County
Suoerintendents' Convention, which
was presided over by Rural School In
spector, w. E. Larsen, in place Of
State superintendent Cary who could
be present only part of the time on
account of the session of the Normal
School Regents that was being held in
the Capitol Building.
1t might be of interest to note here
that the new Capitol building, which
is now nearing completion, from an
architectural standpoint, is considered
to be one of the very finest buildings
in the world
