whole page to the subject, it
could not do justice to the "Pro-
gress and Prosperity" edition of
the Lakeland Telegram, which
was issued last week. 1t was sim

There were over fifty pages of
reading matter and artistic en-

work was done in the Telegram
office, and the result shows that,

Gilchrist says he will support this
measure if the people vote it, but
we want him to say he favors it,
and will try to make the people
favor it also.
Albert w. Gilchrist is to our
mind as honorable man as can be
found in the state of Florida. He
will do what he says he will do.
He will promise nothing that he
does not conscientiously feel he
should do. We want to vote for
him because we honor and love
him, and further, because he is a
home man who should have first
consideration, all other things
equal.
If he can not conscientiously
take the lead in championing the
cause of national prohibition, we
do not blame him but as this is
the question of all others that
means most for the comfort and
happiness of our people, we want
a man who is not passively for it,
but a man who will make this at
least one Of the dominance issues

Position of the Arcadia News

The Herald last week, in giving
a political lineup Of a part of the
state press, said that the Arcadia
News will likely support Tram
nell for senator and Wood for
governor. The News copied The
Herald's article and commented
as follows:
We shall be just old enough to
vote the 18th day of this month.
Up to this time we have discussed
principles rather than men. We
shall continue to do this, because
a newspaper can be of more serv-
ice by so doing. We have prom
Used no man our support, and
shall not do so, but if this were
election day and we stood at the
polls ready to vote, it would be
registered as follows:
Trammell, first choice; Gil
christ second.
Wood, first choice; Hudson,
second.
If Gilchrist will come out
and say he will do all in
his power to secure national pro-
as Trammell has done,
then our vote viii be Gilchrist
first, Trammell second. General

We respectfully submit that
the following expression from the
Tampa Times is just as applica.
BILE to Albert w. Gilchrist as to
any other man and even more so
than to the Times own candi-

shown their business ability and
fitness for office by accomplishing
such tasks as they have been set
to do, in a public or private ca
pacity, and select out of the num-
Der of candidates offering, a man
with record for doing things,
that shows him fit for the job of

The Super.Six is monopoly. This marvellous
motor adding 80 per cent to engine efficiency
is Hudson patent.
Its supremacy is unchallenged. 1t has won
every worlds record which can possibly prove
any quality you seek in motor.
1t has made the Hudson the largest selling fine
car in the world. Yet this years demand was
hardly half supplied.
Still this car has been sold at minimum profit;
at price far below cars of lesser performance.
The only advance for next year is the added cost
# materials And that advance will not apply
until these materials are used.

We have some cars yet due us at the present

After that every car shipped to us will cost the
higher price.
You can save that difference $l75-by buying
your Super.Six now. And you'll get the same
model as buyers get who buy after December l.
Consider that fact we'll.

OYSTER SHELL is NECESSARY
Matter Of Economy to Keep Plentiful
Supply Of Sharp Grit Before Fowls
at All Times.

Many feed oyster shells and believe
that this is all that is required in the
line of grit. Oyster shell is necessary
for the welfare Of the hons, supplying
lime that goes into the formation OF
egg, shell and bone, but 1t will not al
together answer as a substitute for
grit. for the reason that it is too soft.
Experiments have proven conclu-
sively that it is a matter OF economy
to keep a plentiful supply of good
sharp grit before the fowls all the
time.
When fowls are not supplied with
grit much of the food eaten passes
through their bodies in an undigested
state. Besides, the lack Of grit throws
an undue strain upon the digestive
system, resulting in liver and bowel
trouble.
