Punta Gorda Ladies Join the Boy
colt

The Fortnightly Club last wees
az pointed cor mittee of their
members to canvass the town for
sign atares to an agreement tind-
ing the signers not to buy eggs UNI
til they were 35c. a dozen nor Int
ter al more than Zoe. a pound The
committee secured the signatures
Of eighty-two house wives to this
agreement
The ladies promoting this boy
colt contend that it will not injure
or affect the local retailers whose
business is even now suffering
from the high prices and even
some OF the dealers, ON this ac-
count, approved Of the movement.
The action Of the ladies is a part
of nationwide agitation against
the high cost Of living, which re-
suits chiefly from an unrcason-
able advance in the price of many
feed stuffs.

Delightful Picnic Grounds

the most beautiful grounds fol

The Same in Punta Gorda

The Tampa Tribune and the

large number of papers i'll South

munities, because, like the Even

advertisement emanating from an
other@townl We sometimes won

as to really believe that any sane
person can be deceived with such
rot. Other papers printing this
advertisement are those of Bar

and probably several others. We
are glad that the Evening Tele-
gram is regarded as such good adj
vertising medium that it can
draw business from other towns
though it has never solicited it.
The money it brings to Lakeland
in this way is passed out to its en-
ployees who spend it with the

Should Promptly Be Repealed

Now that the Florida legislature
is to meet again within a short
time it is well to consider some
things that this body can do which
will be in the interest of the peo-
pie. Our first suggestion along
this line is to repeal law that will
become effective January /. We
refer to the new depository law,
which requires that the countyas
money be equally distributed a.
mong the repositories.
Let S see the practical workings
of this law so far as DeSoto coun-
ty is concerned, and it is presumed
that its workings in other coun-
ties of the state will be practically
the same.
DeSoto county has an average
balance of about SIG, 600 exclusive
of the school fund. Were this
sum deposited III one bank at 5
per cent. interest would be paid
for this average balance, or in 9TH
| err words, the people would receive
$500 in interest. As the matter
now stands eight banks have made
application to be designated as
repositories, each of which viii
| be appointed, and to which no
reasonable objection could be
made if each Of these banks were
required to pay interest on the av-
erage balance. Right here is
where the trouble arises, this same
law requires that an average bal
ance of $4,000 be maintained in
each bank before any interest is
paid on deposits. 1t will there
fore be seen that this law ties the
hands of the county commission
ers, so they can not designate one
depository and thereby receive
$500 interest, but upon the con-
trary must distribute this money
among the eight banks upon
