Peaches In Enuland-

A long time ago someone said that
an Englishman eats a peach as if he
we're performing religious ceremony.
No wonderl In the London market a
sale of dozen peaches ranks as a
wholesale transaction. And the price

ed an article on Cheap Fruit" in
which the statement occurs that
small samples" were worth two or
three shillings a dozen, but that the
best fruit could be bought at IL shil.
lings dozen. Think of paying a quar-
ter for single peach! But there were
some shops that cut the price, and
that would sell you a peach for three
pence-six cents.-Youth's Compan

There is a choice in length of coat,
but if one chooses to be exactly cor
rect, the coat is short enough to show
eight inches of the breaches, unmount-
ed, and six in the saddle. There is a
variety in coat models, among them
the Norfolk and the English styles,
and the coats for suits intended both
for hunting and riding. A practical
and dressy suit is pictured, made Of
hard-twilled serge in black and white
check, with an adjustable cape.
Riding boots of soft black or tan
calfskin, and those that lace up the
front, belong to the regulation outfit
For very dressy suits patent leather is
offered, but it is less comfortable than
the others. Soft white shirts with
prim collars and mannish riding hats
complete costume that may be de-
pended upon to enhance the good looks
of any woman. In hats the choice lies
between clipped beaver, felt, milan
straws, satin jockey caps, or severely
tailored street hats, with the clipped
beaver in first place.

Beauty and Brains.

A pretty girl need not necessarily be
brainless, but somehow the co-nbina-
ton persists.
Did you young fellows ever stop to
analyze any of your conversations
with that wide-eyed little blonde who
always wears pink silk blouses? No,
of course you didn't-you hardly knew
what you were saying yourself.
Trouble with you is that you haven't
imagination enough to conceive of a
pretty girl who could bring up a more
interesting talk topic than her own
sweet self.
You sort of concede that a peach OF
a girl is three-quarters mush. with a
heart of stone.
OF course there is such a thing as
the pretty girl with brains, but she's
either married or else in love with
some cuss that doesn't appreciate her

FLORIDA QUARAN1INES
AGAINST CALIFORNIA
Citrus Fruit to Prevent
Brown Rot There Pre-
valent.

A bulletin from the State Plant
Board at Gainesville, received yeSter'
Owing to the prevalence in Califor-
mia of the disease known as the brown
rot of lemons and oranges, the State
Plant Board of Floridaj at its meet
ing at Gainesville on the lUtn instant
adopted the following rule;
The shipment, transportation
or carrying Of any and all cl-
trus fruits either by common car
riers. dining or buffet cars, rail
way news companies, or indlvld-
uals. into the State of FLORIDA
from the State of California, is
hereby prohibited on account OF
the prevalence in that State OF
the disease known as the Brown
Rot of lemons and oranges CPy-
thiacystis citrophora.)C
Considerable alarm is felt by the
growers of citrus fruit in Florida re-
garding the increasing destructive,
ness of brown rot in California, and
il is realized that the introduction and
establishment of this disease in Florl.
da would cost the fruit industry OF
the State hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars.
This timely action on the part OF
the Plant Board doubtless meets with
the approval of all who realize the
importance of the citrus growing in
dustry in this State.

echo the sentiment heretofore express
ed in this association. Let US get
closer to the farmer and bring the
farmer closer to US. The original idea
of banking seemed to be that banks
were intended only to accommodate
the business and commercial world,
We are doing that now fully and COM
pletely. No town of any size in Flor
ida is today without its bank, either
national or state, and the commercial
and manufacturing interests are ev-
erywhere and always in close touch.
but the farmer, he on whom all the
world depends, still stands somewhat
aloof. | trust our committee on ap-
rlculture will keep ever present in
their minds the devising of plans by
which the banker and the farmer may
get together, and that the agricultu.
rlSt may come to understand that the
banker wants to be in touch with him
and wants, as far as he NAV be per-
mltted, to help him.
II trust, gentlemen, our present Sos
SION may be marked by harmony and
good will and that we NAV receiva

Recital at Presbyterian Church.

Last Friday night the music low.
ers of Palatka enjoyed recital OF
real music, given in the Presbyterian
church by Mrs. Robert Stanley Ola
Yer at the organ and Miss Irma Jane
Lewis, vocalist, assisted by Miss
Louise Boyd and Lexington Barstow,
violinists. 1t was said by some of the
best music critics, that this was the
finest program ever given in Palatka.
Mrs. O'Haver is an artist on the or
gan, and the effects she produced
were beautiful as well as artistic.
Miss Boyd played most sympathe.-
ically and in her usual artistic man
ner and highly pleased her audience.
Mr.. Barstow's work was also very
pleasing; he is a young performer OF
fine talent. The work of these two
as obligato soloists was most delight
full and a most pleasing complement
to the voice and organ.
Miss lrma Lewis needs no introduc-
ton to the musical public and her
beautiful voice was heard to fine ad-
vantage in the old masterpieces that
are ever new and inspiring. The sill
yer offering was generous and added
quite sum to the church fund. The
recital was presented under the aus
pices of the Ladies' Aid Society of
the church.
