TO CLUB GIRLS
Dear Club Girls:
l have just begun another tour of
the county teaching each girl pr'n-
Ding. Some have their stakes in, and
let me urge those who haven't to put
them in at once following directions
sent you last week. | feel much en-
couraged after visiting the plots l
did last week. The plants are grow
ing vigorously since the rains and the
girls who haven't good stand or who
lost their tomato plants altogether
have planted okra or corn in their
place. like that spirit, for how few
people succeed in the first undertake
|ing, and how disguised or full of pity
we are for the person who doesn't
try again. l am printing the recipe
lfor mint jelly Since schools have
closed you will have time to do things
at home Change the mint jelly a
little and you will have strawberry
jelly. Add to each cup of strawberry
juice one cup of pectin and one CUP
Of sugar, and finish at jelly point. AT
ter berries are thoroughly ripe they
will not make good jelly without
this added pectin.
The revised Jelly Bulletin will be
nut in a few days and is for free
distribution to all interested in that
line.
PLEASE take good care of your
crops for unfortunately we have to
raise things before we can CAN
them.
Sincerely yours,

Hanna. editor of the Auburndale
News, collapsed Friday when, after
an all-day investigation, the County
Prosecutor announced that he could
find no true bill against Editor Han

The warrant was served last Thurs
dav Mr.. Hanna lost no time in ap-
bearing to waive preliminary exam
ination by the court and be bound
over to the prosecutor for investiga-
ton, and asked immediate considera-
ton of his case. This was given, with
the result stated. Many friends ten
dered their congratulations to the
editor as soon as the news became
known, though none of those familiar
with The case had expected amy other
result.
Two offenses were alleged, one be
i ing the publication of the inside his
tory of dealings between Cline and
Hanna resulting in the purchase of q
newspaper owned by the former, and
the second an editorial comment or
the vindication by the grand jury Of

that his publications were legal ant

arrest was merely for spit or polit

County Commissioners Grant Thirty
Year Franchise For Electric
Line Between Lakeland, Bar

One of the most important mat
tiers to come before the commissioners
yesterday and one which will mean
more for the development of the
county than any other one thing, ex-
cept the completion of the proposed
system of good roads, was the grant
ing of a franchise for the construc'
ton of the Lakeland-W Winter Haven
Barlow Interurban line. This fran
chise was applied for by two bankers
from Baltimore who do not want to
be known in the matter just at pres
mt.
The franchise grants this company
an interurban railway through this
county, to erect power station tc
supply electricity for operating
railway, and permission is granted tc
lay tracks and all other necessary
equipment in the construction of this
line. The franchise runs for thirty
years.
They agree to begin construction
within eighteen months from the
granting of the franchise and the
completion of at least one mile o.
track within ninety days after the
work is started. The work will b'
prosecuted just as rapidly as t1nancia
and physical conditions will permit

Already nationwide advertising is
given to Polk county, through such
mediums as the Manufacturers Rec
ord, the Industrial Index and the En-
cheering News, in connection with
the big thing contemplated by this
county in road building. These great
journals praise the enterprise of our
people. and all over the country this
section is being given desirable pub
licity. If we should fail to carry the
bond proposition the word will go out
that we are slow. shiftless, unpro-
gressive people. Do. we want such
reputation to attach to US?
