FLORIDA CITRUS CROP
FOR NEXT SEASON
ONew YoIn Packer.>

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 15.-Cit-
rus fruit is coming along nicely but
rain has been needed over a greater
part of the peninsula. There has been
plenty of rain in the north and in
the northwestern portions, but
throughout the citrus bearing sec
ton more moisture is needed. Buy
ers are still looking for early fruit
and growers who have an early crop
should have no trouble in dispos-
ing f it on the tree at fair figure,
as the early crop throughout the
State is light. Indications point to
good prices for later fruit If there
are generous rains during the next
two months the crop will be one of
the best ever marketed, as the gen.
eral condition of the groves is good.
1t is believed that the early fruit
will be very early this season, while
the later fruit or bulk of the crop
will be somewhat later than usual.

1t may be sad news to the misguid-
ed females whom Mrs. Norris typifies
but just about ninety-nine out Of
one hundred married women would
not leave their husbands il they
were suddenly to become independ-
ent. Those who did would be such
a good radiance that the husband
would be justified in repairing to the
nearest cabaret and celebrating his
luck.

MERCHANTS TO
COOPERATE TO
keep TRADE IN
LAKELAND

Editor Evening Telegram:
A big step forward has been taken
by some of the live merchants of
Lakeland through the organization
of the Retail Merchants Bureau"
This bureau is affiliated with the
Lakeland Chamber of Commerce and
is a part of that organization, and
it's formation is due to the desirable
ity and the necessity of co-opera-
tive business building spirit among
the merchants to build up the retail
interests of the city.
The possibilities for accomplishing
great results for the merchants
through such an association has been
realized by a large number of our
local business houses, such as fos
tering the spirit of trading in Lake
land, and convincing the citizens of
Lakeland and it's tributary country
that they can secure as good values
for their money here in their home
town as they can from some mail
order house in New York or Chi
cago, or by going to Tampa or some
other town. Also in drawing the
country trade to Lakeland rather
than having it go to some other
nearby town.
1t is pretty difficult for one or two
merchants in a town to accomplish
such results but when every mer-
chant is putting his shoulder to the
same aims through a cooperative as
ISOLATION results are sure to be OBJ
tanned of the most beneficial cha
acter
The success of the Merchants As
sociation in Lakeland will be of the
greatest benefit to the whole city
for if we take the fifty or sixty re-
tail establishments here and count
up the number of employees and
their families dependent for their
prosperity upon the general prosper
ity of the retail merchants we will
find that it comprises a good big per
centage of our citizens, and if the
retail merchants are doing a pros
porous business as a whole it means
a great deal for prosperous times for
the whole town.
This association of Lakeland's
merchants for a cooperative effort
to better their business and business
conditions and which will directly
rebound to the benefit of the entire
city should have the approval and
good wishes of every citizen, and the
active support and cooperation of
every retail merchant, and it is
hoped that large body Of mer-
chants will apply for membership
and be present at the first meeting
which will be held Friday night at
s p. m. at the city Hall.

column clipping from the Appeal to
Reason. in connection with a big
Oil Steal Being Rushed Through
Congress" and asks us, "as a true
blue Democrat" to make some com
ment. We have failed, in somewhat
extensive examination of the cur
rent sources of information, to find
that anyone knows anything about
this "big steal' except the Appeal
to Reason. We do not get excited
about statements made in that pub
lication, for we have learned they
should be literally discounted. We
admire some of the principles of So
cialism, of which the Appeal to Reas-
on poses as the exponent, but we can
not but believe that the Socialist
cause is much injured by the rabid,
infiammatory and oftimes untruth-
full statements made by this jour-
nal. The big oil steal It refers to in
its article can hardly be worse in
principle than the one advertised in
its columns, which promises to make
$500 out of a $40 investment in ,oil.

ments it carries as we'll as by the
claims made in it's editorial columns,

certainly are rocky"

In our system of roadways only
main lines-those leading from some
place to some place-could be pro-
vided for. AS consequence, there
are some pieces of road that are very
important which cannot be i'm
proved, for the present, at least, I'M
less some special provision is made.
Perhaps the most notable instance
of this kind is the portion of the
road around Lake Hollingsworth, eX-
tending from Stephens corner to
Florida avenue. This is about
mile in length, and is very much
Travelled, the drive around this lake
being the most popular of any in
this section. Some arrangement
should be made, by all means, to
build this link at the same time the
connecting roads are built 1t should
be really a little wider driveway
than the ordinary country road-say
IS or 20 feet. Such road would
cost probably $500. If the owners
of abutting property desired they
could create a road district and get
this valuable improvement at a very
trifling costa total amount for all
of them about $500 a year for 25
years would do it. This would make
the cost to each property owner
negligible, and the bonds doubtless
could be handled locally. There
may be some other good plan, but
this is offered as a suggestion.
