MESA CHAPTER ID
 JET NEW MEMBERS

MESA. May 6-The Chautauqua meetings of yesterday reduced the at
 tendance at the Red Cross meeting. but those present discussed plans for increase of membership in the Mesa chapter There are few. if any, who doubt the wonderful works of mercy being carried on by the Red Cross. but theEe are very great many who do not realize the immediate urgency of participation in the preparation for Americas part in the great world war The American Red Cross has been busy in Europe, but the future prospects are that our own soldier boys and their dependent families will call for every increased effort that can be put forth by the men and women of this and all other communities in the Union. This true. then the Mesa section is asking for members and follOwingsa q meeting to be held on Tuesday afternoon at o'clock at the Guild Hall. an active campaign for members will be inaug- uTated The dues are only one dollar per year and it is believed that prac
 tically every family in Mesa will be represented by one or more members
 Then, too there is much work to be done. The women are busy sewing and making bandages. Other women are needed and all this need is to be put before the Mesa public in the earnest hope that the work so neces- sary to he done shall be done most heartily. The public is asked to re- member Tuesday afternoon and set apart the hour. There will be no sew ing, but planning for the work will go forward. Men as well as women are asked tO be present at this meeting

This gathering of the club was the occasion for the change in the head executive office of the club, and Mrs. H. G. COrson who has presided as president the past two years, bid good bye to the chair and her place taken by the newly elected president. Mrs. O. C. Watson.

THE HOME GUARD.

The home guard of this city, COM
posed of the best men in the COM
munity, has already done good SER
vice. It was organized in order that
the state might not be helpless in case
of sudden emergency. The national
guard of Florida has gone into train
ing for service at the front, and it is
outside the state. There is just as
much need for military protection in
this state as there ever was, so the
home guard is a necessary organiza-
ton.
Soldiers are not needed often, but
when they are needed they are needed
badly. In times of local danger now
the home guard is the only protection
our homes have. Jacksonville has more
than once needed the assistance of the
state troops, and has had it when
needed. The same is true of other
places in, Florida.
The women of Florida should take
an interest in the home guard and
should encourage their husbands or
brothers to enlist in it and to attend
strictly to their duties as members.
The women are the managers of our
homes,) The men of the state wish to
keep them safe The home guard is
the protection of the homes of Flor
ida in time of emergency, and our
women should appreciate this fact.
So when the night comes for the
.assemblage of the company, the hus
band or father or brother should be
encouraged to attend. He should GER
tainly not be discouraged from attend
ing, The business in which he will en-
gage is important business-as i'm
portant as that in which he engages in
thu transaction Of his ordinary affairs.
He is providing an assurance of safe
ty for the home. If danger does not
approach, he loses nothing. If it does
approach he is ready for it. He is do
ing his duty as man and a citizen,
and doing it in the only field in which
he is called on to serve.
The home guard is composed of men
not of military age. The majority of
it's members would not be accepted for
service at the front if they volunteer
ed. It does not take man from the
army.
But it enables men to go to the front
with the feeling that after they have
gone their families will be protected
In that way it serves to put men 0"
the firing line and assumes at home
the duties that had devolved on them.
So no Florida woman should sug-
gest the theatre or the picture show
on the night when the home guard
meets. They should encourage the
men they can influence to attend the
drills and perfect themselves IN mill
s~..-- aeei,sk so that in time Of en1er-
gency the women and cniiuren-the
homes of Florida may be efficiently
protected Times Union.

CITRUS FRUIT GROWERS GO
LOVER THE TOP"
Times, Tampa, Nov. Z, 1919

Times, Tampa, Nov. Z, 1919
For the last few years statisticians
of all kinds and creeds have been in
clined to assail the leadership of or
anges and grapefruit as money pro-
ducing crops for Florida.
In comparisons they have tried to
show that cattle and hogs, potatoes
and tomatoes, naval stores and lum-
Der, phosphate and lime had taken the
ascendency.
Now these statistical sharks have
got to take their pens in hand and
beat a retreat, for the citrus grower
has "gone over the top" and has
proved the superiority of fruits in
the money producing contest.
If the reports that Hastings potato
growers after thoir successful season
this summer would only buy six cylin-
der and eight cylinder automobiles
are true, the automobile manufaetur-
,ers had better take our tip right now
and begin the manufacture Of 20
cylinder car that will meet the de-
mands of our farmer friends in the
citrus belt.
Because, oh man, there's going to
be something doing when the oranges
and grapefruit are al off to market
and the growers begin to wonder what
they're going to do with so much mon
ey and the wife gets. to locking long
ing3y at the FieHco-Sparrows that
glide by her door on the wonderful
Florida roads.
Citrus fruits that bring two to four
dollars bog con the tree" mean
some of the luxuries of life as well as
the comforts for the growers thereof.
And while we're singing this little
song of forthcoming prosperity, allow
US to call your distinguished attention
to the fact that dollar-equipped
tourists are at present rolling into
the state as they have never rolled
at SO early period before. The war
has brought prosperity to every state
in the north, east and west, and
thousands of those who have dollars
to spend are going to "come early and
stay late" The railroads report a
record business, hotels are opening
much earlier than usual, and the rush
will be on in earnest before the pres
ent month ends.
Floridians, regardless of what the
war may haye done to them hereto
fore, are going to have winter Of
the milk and honey variety.
Get ready for it.
Only Croakers Fear Over Production.

acre after acre of orange and grape
| fruit trees, and every year the raw
ems" sit around on their fences and
eroak about how @over- production"
will bring the price down and every
year those same 'ravens" mourn
about the high cost of living while the
growers buy new cars.
And it will be the same this year.
Lots of well-meaning men may be de-
tered from starting groves by the
cfoaking Of the pessimists, but where
one man gets cold feet" there will be
100 who are wise enough and far
seeing enough to plant new groves or
add to their old ones, knowing full
well the great strides in marketing
citrus crops since the advent of the
Florida Citrus Exchange soon will
insure uniform distribution of Flori-
da fruit throughout the country and
that the, big advertising campaign
carried on by the exchange will make
two more people in the United States

for every additional box that is pro-
duced.
/ Florida. is surely coming into her
onw. The extra quality of the Flori-
do citrus frglits-their supremacy in
favo- and goodness over .others-;s
b2;ng proved every year and it is de-
cidedly up to the grower to see that
their supremacy is maintained. The
starting point of the supremacy is
the nursery. High bred, true-to-name
trees of Buckeye origin are response
BILE for much of it. For 81 years Buck
eye nurseries have been exclusively
propagating citrus stock, building up
the virtues and eliminating the de-
fects until every tree they offer has
come to be regarded as "hke govern
ment bond good investment be-
cause it is absolutely safe and pays
good dividends. =
They who do not listen to the
"croakers" are the backbone of Flor
ida's future wealth, for it is up to
them to make Florida able in the fu-
ture to maintain her citrus supremacy
and supply the ever-increasing ard
insistent demand for Florida fruit
Buckeye nurseries, one of the bust
ness enterprises of which Tampa and
all citrus Florida is proud, never
cease their efforts in this direction. 1t
is we'll worth the while of every man
and woman who wants to see this part
of the state prosper to write Buck
eye Nurseries, 1854 Citizens Bank
building, Tampa, Fla, for free copy
of their new catalog and other litera-
ture on the care, culture and market
ing of citrus fruits.
