dummy which is suspended from the
roof of their den at II Rue Mort--a

EVILS OF LIQUOR

What is perhaps the most wonder
full series of pictures ever presented
in a photodrama will be shown at
the Coliseum theatre Tuesday when
The Warning" five-part feature on
the equitable program is released.
Henry Kolker, the star, has brought
all his great dramatic ability into
play in visualizing the terrific imag-
cry of the story and its revelation
on the screen, and the allegorical ex-
emplification of the evils of the drink

mon in the picture, but there is a
story so full of vivid, vital, forceful
strength.

The manner in which the Negro be-

MAKING A R0UsING CAMPAIGN

The progressive citizens of Polk
county who are devoting their efforts
toward carrying the bond issue for
b,5OO,000 for good roads, are max
ing a rousing campaign and propose
to reach every nook and corner of
the big county with their inspiring.
and enlivening propaganda.
Some of the leading men of the
county, intent upon putting old Polk
at the top of the list of good roads
counties of the South, are giving the
matter their personal time and at
tention and the result will undoubt-
eddy be an overwhelming majority
for the good roads bonds.
We cannot conceive of ANYTHING
within human possibility that Polk
county could do that would advance
its very interest more rapidly AND
substantially than carrying this
bond issue. 1t would be immediate
notice to the world that this Flor
ida county had taken a wonderful
step forward and the advertisement
alone would be worth millions.
The county appears to have made
admirable arrangements for the
building Of the roads, if the bonds
are voted, and the high character CT
the men who have been named as
bond trustees insures that the peo-
pie will get the full benfit of every
dollar that is expended.
The 225 miles of hard roads
which will be built with this money
will make Polk the best paved coun-
ty in the South. Surely its people
cannot afford to be negligent or
apathetic on a proposition of such
tremendous importance-Tampa Tri-
bune.

CULTIVATION lessons
DAMAGE FROM BOIL WEEvIL

One way to fight the boil weevil
is to out-general him. That is not
always easy to do, but by an early
start the cotton planter can do a
great deal toward lessening the dam
age done by the past E. S. Pace, dis
trict agent for the University of
Florida Extension Division, recon-
mends frequent and shallow cultiva-
tion. This keeps the cotton growing
well and will enable it to set and
develop squares before the weevil
attack reaches its height.
Unfavorable soil or weather con-
ditions are apt to cause the early
squares to shed and consequently re-
duce the yield. The weevils usually
account for the late squares so that
there is no late or top crop. The
farmer must depend in the early
squares for his crop. Consequently
conditions should be made as happy
as possible for the early bolls. Ere,
quent and shallow cultivation should
be given to make the bolls set as
early as possible. Mr.. Pace recon.
mends a cultivation every week OF
ten days at a depth of l to . in.
ches. Cultivation should cover the
whole ground surface,

est. Petersburg independently
The people down at Birmingham,
Ala, were prepared to furnish auto
mobiles for the old soldiers parade
at the coming Confederate reunion,
May 18. The plan was brought to
the attention of Gen. Bennett Young,
the commander, and he wrote the
various leaders to know what they
thought about it. The reply was,
without exception, that the veterans
would much prefer to walk during
the reunion and would frown upon
any plan which would tend to de-
prive them of the opportunity of
again keeping time to the stirring
strains Of Dixie" General Young,
in communicating this information
to the local committee, said for him
self that he personally would prefer
to walk unless suitable mount could
be procured, but that under no cir
cumstances would the commander
in-chief of the Confederate army ride
in an automobile during the parade
in Birmingham or elsewhere.
So the old boys will walk in the
parade as they have been doing
heretofore and there's no doubt they
will convince the spectators that
there is life. yet and good deal of
tin the remnant of the southern
Confederacy.

The citrus fruit movement for the
season to April 20 was 22,567 cars,
consisting of 17,442 cars of oranges
and 5,125 cars of grapefruit. Dur
ing the same period last season the

a difference in favor of last years

The drought is not by any means
broken. Although there has been
rain in some sections of the state
the greater bulk of the citrus fruit
crop Is in need of moisture. In
some sections unless there is May
or June bloom the citrus crop will
be short, while in other stctions
there will be normal crop. The
late variety of oranges moving are
of excellent quality. isis cannot be
said of the grapefruit as the finest
fruit has moved, and considerable
