Congressman Drane Asks for Express
sion; Replies so Far Indicate
Selective Drafts Meets
With Approval :.

Response to invitations from Flor
ida's representatives in Congress in
dictate that majority of the citizens
OF this State are backing up the
Presidents plan of selective draft to
bring the army and navy up to the
provisions of recent military enact
ments.
Congressman II. j. Drane, of this
district, has sent kilograms to all
cities asking that he be informed of
the sentiment of the people. One of
these kilograms came to Gilbert ID.
Leach, editor of the Commercial at
Leesburg. Mr.. Leach read the tele-
gram at a meeting of the Board OF
Trade Monday night. On motion of
G G.. Ware the meeting unanimous
ly endorsed the policy of the Presi-
dent and the general staff, and Mr..
Drane was so advised. kilograms to
Tampa. Lakeland, Barlow, st. Pc
tersburg and other cities, it is I'M
derstood, met with the same recep-
ton.
The view taken by the average
citizen seems to be that if this coun-
try is to go into war she must go in
to it intellectually, and that If 1t
is necessary that enlistment of the
military strength must be on some
established principle and to secure
the best results for that branch of
the government.
It is believed here that there is no
doubt of the prevalence of the ad-
ministration's plans for increasing
the military strength of the country.
ard that before this paper is printed
this week, perhaps, Congress will
have already enacted the war meas
ure as prepared by the general staff.

GOLF FARMERS

Some of our conservationists, in
their zeal to bring into use all the
food resources of the country, are
advocating the turning of golf cours-
es into farms.
There is considerable force in the
suggestion, because golf links are al
ways situated just on side cities, and
their cultivation would obviously
help to provide a more plentiful sup
ply of edibles to the ocal communi-
ty. 1t does seem like shameful
waste. when you think of it, that SO
many hundreds Of acres of good
land, strategically placed for fighting
the grim foe, Cost Of Living, should
be blanketed with useless grass and
reserved for the unproductive pas
time Of chasing golf ball.
And why not turn the golfers into
farmers?" asks one of these reform
ers. Wouldn't any man find as
good exercise on the farm as on the
golf course, and have the added sat
isfaction of accomplishing something
worth while? A golf club might en-
ploy an expert from an agricultural
college to direct the ex-golfers."
Yes, 1t might. And the members,

AN AVERAGE OF FIFTEEN
CARS PER DAY SHIPPED
THE PAST WEEK

Vegetables continue to roll into
Wauchula by the wagon load, the
truck load and most any old way to
get them to the railroad. Last Sat
urdav va, the banner shipping day
in the history of Wauchula, twenty
six solid carloads of vegetables being
loaded that day. An average of fiji.
teen carloads per day have gone out
from this station the past week.
Wauchula generally gets the cream
of the market. which accounts for the
big prices paid week or two ago.
Now Webster and points farther
north have come in and prices are
decidedly lower, yesterday cukes
were selling for sl.00 per crate and
beans for 1925. This is some differ
ent from SO an $3.50 per crate, but
there is big money in cukes at s1.00
per hamper. and wauchula growers
can certainly afford to sell the latter
half of their crop at such a price in
competition with growers farther
north, to which s1.00 per crate is the
,op price.
From careful inquiry we find that
the bank deposits in the two banks
of wauchula have increased by $780,
600 since the opening of the vegeta-
BILE shipping season. When we con-
slider the great sums drawn out of the
bank to pay accounts and that the
shipping season is not over and re-
turns not all in for stun already

STAND BY THE PRESIDENT

Monday the Advocate editor re-
ceived a telegram from Hon. II. j.
Drane, Congressman from this dis
trict, which read: please investigate
carefully and wire me the real senti-
ments of the best people of your com
munity as to whether they desire
temporary continuation of volunteer
system as recommended by majority
of committee of military affairs, or
CONSUMPTION as recommended by the
President" After consulting num-
Der of citizens telegram was sent
to Mr.. Drane saying: I'VE believe
the people of Wauchula stand solidly
behind the President in any war
measure" This message was signed
by Col. A. Yancy Teachy, mayor of
Wauchula, and the Advocate editor.
We hope and believe we voiced the
sentiment of the people of Wauchula.
Why should the people of the en-
tire country not stand back of the
man they have placed in the execu-
tive chair of the nation?
Has he not in every instance prov
en- himself conservative man Of
great wisdom?
He is not only man of great BRAIN
honest sincere and fearless, but he
alone is familiar with all the inside
facts. He is concentrating all his
great brain power on this one sub
ject, and while the average citizen
gives the war few minutes thought,
upon the receipt OF his morning
paper, the president of the United
States is studying the great question
night and day, surrounded by the
ablest colaborers Of the nation.
The general public cannot know
the real inside facts and needs of
the nation, but fortunately they have
elected great man as the head of
the nation and each and every citi.
zen should put his trust in him, be-
lieving that his wisdom, honesty and
fearlessness will carry the nation
through one of the greatest crisis it
has ever faced.
Stand by the President Wauchu-
la Advocate.

tiles.
Bradford County: Thirty dozen
pint jars have been ordered for the
Boat-drain Club to be used in stor-
ing strawberry preserves.
Baker County: Where parents are
interested in the club girls work

well. Where parents are not inter
ested, the girls work is often slight
ed.
Bay County: In addition to toma-
toes, all of the girls are growing
other vegetables. They plant beans
next to the fence around their tenth
acre plots and lettuce and potatoes
between the rows.
Oskaloos County: Besides the
tenth acre plots the club girls are
planting more land, when their faith
ers will give them the use of it.
Some girls are tending paintings of
beans, peas, beets, cucumbers, ETC.
The girls are willing to work hard to
help provide food for the families in
, their communities.
Escambia County: The Ferry Pas
