A fruit buyer recently told a
grower near Clearwater that he
would give him a good price for
his bright fruit, but not a cent for
his rusty fruit He explained that
perhaps he might be able to
handle the marked fruit after
Christmas.
Mr., Grower, do you know what
this means? The fruit buyer
knows his business. He would
show no preference if ha could
make as much money from hand
ling the rusty fruit. He knows
that the market is growing more
critical of the fruit it buys. 1t

pared to deliver bright fruit I?
Can you do it every year, or is it
a matterof accident that you have
bright fruit this year?

the different pests that infest
your trees, if you are uncertain
how to control them effectively
and economically, for an invest
ment of ten or fifteen dollars for
board, room and railroad fare, you

tending the Seventh Annual Cit
rus Seminar which will be held at
the University of Florida, Gaines
vile, October II to 20 inclusive.

est and best information on diff
ferent subjects pertaining to the

tion there will be lectures on fer

There is a Chinese fruit called
the Lichee that looks like small
pine cone, but which has but a
shcll-like covering, easily remov-
ed, that is pronounced by many to
be the finest fruit in the world.
There are several Lichee trees in
Florida, notably in the yard of
DR.. Richardson, ans w. s. Taylor,
both Of Tampa. The Royal Palm
Nurseries sends two of the fruit
to the Grower, stating that the
tree is harder than the mango
and that it may be generally
grown in South Florida, and will
be welcome addition to our sum-
mer fruits. They say that the
flavor is delicious and delicate and
DR.. Richardson calls it the queen
of fruits.-Florida Grower

GENERAL OFFENSIVE ON
THE MACEDONIAN FRONT

Cats. The strictly neutral pa
pers of Jacksonville quoted Mr..
Cats as stating that the amount
was $4,000. Note that in every
place "a has a different tale.
Truth is not one thing in one
place and another thing in an
other place. There is a good old
proverb which Mr.. Cats ought to
have learned in his school days,
if he did not" falsus in uno, fall
sus in omnibus" which means
that if man will lie about one
thin" he will lie about everything.
The fact is, as every intelligent
person knows, Cardinal Gibbons
never gave $4,000, or $4,000. or
$4,000 to defeat Cats, and that
he "ould not give twenty thous-
sand cents to do so. The whole
story is a concoction of Cats dis
ordered brain designed, as he ex-
presses it, "to catch the Crack
crs. Lakeland Telegram.

chua in the senate, has the follow
ing in his true and tried Demo
cratic paper, the Gainesville Sun
"In the recounts of votes in
three princts in Nassau county
Wood gained IA, Hudson 10 and
Knott | for governor. 1t is quite
evident that there were numerous
errors made all over the state in
counting the votes cast at the pri-
ma ry election, and it is also evi-
dent that certain inspectors took
special care to see that Sidney j.
Cats was credited with every
vote cast for him, but especially
negligent in tallying the votes cast
for other candidates for Governor,
particularly the second choice vOt-
es. Hence the recount is merely
correcting these errors, and Civ
ing each candidate every vote cast
for him by the voters. 1t is as
fair for one as it is for the others !;
so let the good work continue, and
let us see who is the real Democrat
lc nominee for governor AS
Knott is far in the lead, we fail to
see how Cats can hope to figure
except as an independent and in
the same class as Cyclone Nit
chell, Loyal Democrats will sup
port the nominee. - Palatka
Times-Herald.
The statement that Mr.. Cats
said that Knott had been given
$20,OOO.O0 by Cardinal Gibbons in
his speech here Monday night has
been denied, some Republicans
and Socialists, who have not the
slightest right to participate in
Democratic councils, insisting the
amount was $4,000. Cats did
specify exactly the sum given in
the Evening Telegram, though he
Sald Mr.. Knott had only cxpend-
ed $4,000. The editor of the
Telegram heard Mr.. Cats make
this statement, and was careful to
note the amount, for the reason
that Cats had already made con-
1lctlng statements as to this mat
ter. Several gentlemen called at
the Telegram office today and de-
clared they would gladly make af
fidaVlts that the amount stated by
Mr.. Cats was $4,000, and that
they could get 100 men who would
gladly sign their names to such an
affidavit. However, Mr.. Cats
saved all this trouble by stating
in Tampa last night, that the a.
mount contributed by Cardinal
Gibbons was $80,000l Think of
.hat-the reckless untruthfulness
Of a man who will make such a
charge, absolutely unsupported
by one iota of evidence, giving the
amount in our city as $4,000 and
he next day, in another city as
$4,000! Now, this is not our re-
oort-it is the report Of the great |
Tampa Tribune, which certainly |
would not tell a lie on Brother |

County Agents Meet Will Inter
est Farmers

Plans for the annual meeting of
the county agents at the Universe
ty of Florida October 2 t"
slve are developing rapidly. A
tentative program has been issu-
ed. October 2 will be organiza-
ton day upon which rural or
ganization and cooperation will be
discussed; October 8 will be hor-
tlculture day; October a will be
livestock day; October s boys
and girls club day; October 6,
staple crops day, and October 7,
vegetable crops day.
Experts from the United States
Department of Agriculture, from
the Experiment Station, and the
county agents will take part in
this program. Lectures will con-
sumo the mornings and discus
slonS demonstrations and field
trips will fill the afternoons.
"hlle the meeting is held pri-
marlly for agents, farmers are
urged to attend. This meeting will
not only be of educational benefit
to any farmers who care to attend.
but 1t will give them an insight
INTO the work which the state and
the nation are doing and trying
to do for rural folk. Problems in
different counties and localities
Will be discussed and a broader
view of conditions in the state can
be had by those who care to go.
1t is probable that the program
as given will be followed in gcner-
al, but additions will be made.

COMMENTS ON CANDIDATE CATS
What Some of the Newspapers Are Saying About Him Criticisms ant
Charges Which He win Doubtless Answer in The

We do not see how Mr.. Bitch,
who is a good American citizen,
and has many lovely American
girls among his relatives and
close friends, can consider Cats
remarks about high school grad
yates as something to be dismissed
lightly. We consider such re-
marks as ruffianly insults to A

The dollar social" given by
the ladies of the Methodist church
in the lobby of the Hotel Punta
Gorda last Friday night was a
success from all view points. The
attendance was even larger than
had been expected and so were the
receipts, which amounted to a lit
tie over $4,000. The object was to
aid the church in paying off the
balance of the debt incurred in
putting up the new building. The
program of the entertainment in
cluded vocal and instrumental
music by the best local talent and,
by way of refreshment, punch and
lemonade. All who attended en-
joyed the evening to the fullest
extent.

There are few farm folk who
give enough attention to their
teeth DR.. Wiley was not far
wrong when he said in the Pro-
gressive Farmer recently that ev-
cry good tooth is worth a thous-

city people should make it habit
to go to a dentist regularly at

promptly as it is taught to say

A gentleman at our elbow says
that he believes that Cats will be
elected. Why? His answer is
that every knocker" seems to be
for Cats. Everyone who is op-
posed to progress seems to be for
Cats. Everyone who thinks that
things are going to the "demnia-
ton bow vows" and sees no hope
for the republi" seems to be for
Cats, and he thinks that this class

In his speech here, Rev. Cats
in endeavoring to bring into dis
favor the efforts of Mr.. Knott to
have a fair, honest and accurate
recount Of the votes in order to as
certain who is the regular NOM
inee-the real choice OF the Dem
ocrats of FloridaE Frequently re-
peated that all the recOuntS show
ed no gains for any candidate but
Knott.
Now, if Mr.. Cats is as convers-
ant with the figures reported from
the recounts as he acknowledges
to be in the art Of religion and
politics, then he would know that
he is maliciously misstatlng facts
for political purposes only.
In our own Georgetown pre-
cincts gains were made by Farrls
and Hudson, while in Duval, Su-
wannee, Nassau and nearly all
the other counties contested, the
recounts showed gains for the var
ious candidates. AS Mr.. Knott
was more widely and favorably
known, it was but natural that he
should receive a majority of the
second choice votes on the Farris,
Wood and Hudson ballots.
Rev. Cats, being the radical
candidate, was "single-shotted, "
as a whole, hence he had few sec
ond choice votes to be counted.
These votes not being cast for
Rev. Gait, the recount accurately
made could not show him to have
made gains when there were no
gains to be made. But, if Rev.
Cats desires the public to believe
him the truthful and pure man he
to be in his speech here,
then he must stick just little
closer to the truth, or at any rate
make statements which are not
false on their very face.

SHOULD WORRY
He Has Learned Much About the
Jitney Business Recently.

Albert NJ. Patten, of the Street Rail
way company. isn't worried about the
jitney business. He doesn't say he
never was worried, but if he was it is
all over. The Street Railway COM
pany has been in the jitney busiess to
a limited extent for several weeks and
from now on Mr.. Patten is perfectly
willing to allow the jitney people to
work out their own salvation in their
own way.
Mr. Patten was in Commissioners
w. G.. Tandy's office this morning and
the jitney subject was brought up.
Mr.. Patten began to enumerate the
trouble his company has had operat-
ing the jitney business used for trans
ferring passengers from the Santa Fe
depot line to the Oakland line. He
spelled trouble with a capital ''T''
when using it in that connection. 1t
has not yet been necessary to send a
repair car along behind the jitneys but
it may come to that. Patten believes
the regular jitney drivers have
troubles of their own and he doesn't
propose bOthering them.

WORSE THAN WHISKY
w. p. MacLean Takes Shot at the
Meek and Lowly Cigarette.

Lack of disgrace attached to cigar
cite smoking accounts for the preVa-
lence of the pernicious custom, be-
lieves w. p. MacLean, director OF phy-
steal education of the Topeka schools
They do more harm than whisky on
account of this, he says. and the IN
jury inflicted upon the smoker is not
noticed because of the sloWnesS with
which it comes.
BOYS smoke cigarettes not because
they have to or because they like II
particularly" says Nc MacLean. but
because they think it is a big and
brave thing to do. If they could be
impressed with the fact that it is
bigger and drawer thing not to do 1t l
don't think they would. They won t
quit when told of the physical danger
because a real boy takes his lie in
his hands almost daily to impress ms
mates with his superior courage, etc
1t is almost useless to argue with a
fellow who has already acquired the
habit"
The plan suggested by Director
MacLean is to organize the boys of
the fifth grade each year and impress
them with the fact that it would be
drawer to leave cigarettes alone. These
boys would be given a pin or button
with star on it for the first year they
abstain. a star being added each year
afterwards for abstinence.
No offices, athletic honors. medals,
badges or prizes should he given to
boys who did not earn a certain num-
