Plans for Handling Vegetables
Another committee, appointed at the
last meeting of the board, to outline
plans for the handling of vegetables
by the exchange next season present
ed its findings and these were adopt
ed unanimously. The salary commit
tee made partial report and was con-
tinued until further notice. For the
Exchange Supply company, DR.. Ross,
who is also its president, gave an en-
couraging report, indicating that the
savings to exchange growers through
its operations during the coming year
will amount to large sums. Various
other items of routine business were
transacted.
R. H. Holland, of New York, district
sales manager for, that territory, who
is in the city for a few days, address
ed the board, describing the obstacles
to the prompt movement of fruits and
vegetables which have been encoun-
tered during the season just closing
as a result of freight congestion. Mr.
Holland is of the opinion that very
little improvement can be expected
until after the war comes to an end
but he assured the directors that the
interests of the exchange and its mem
bers who market their products ir
New York will be given the best pos.
sible attention and that their fruits
and vegetables will have just as gcoo
handling as can be obtained in view
of the circumstances. After Mr.. Hol.
lands talk, the board adjourned unit

omitting as usual the August meet.

MARKETING SEASON HAS
Been GREATLY EXTENDED
CITRUS EXCHANGE SHOWS sue.
CESSFUL OPERATION
Outlook Bright for Top Prices-Of
ficers Make Annual Reports
to Directors

That the Florida Citrus exchange
has succeeded in extending the sea-
son for marketing oranges and grape
fruit produced liz this state until this
IL W covers nine months instead of
SIX as formerly and that the organi-
zation secured better average returns
for growers last season than ever be-
fore were among the more interesting
facts brought out in the annual report
made to the board of directors at yes
:terday's meeting by the general sales
'anager Frank L .Skelly.
There were also emphasized the hon
eflcial effects to growers Of the efforts
Of the exchange sales force to stan
dardize the prices for citrus fruits and
to increase the demand for them
through advertising and other educa-
ttional work directed to the consumers
Mr.. Skelly expressed himself as
strongly believing that even greater
progress along all these lines will be
made during the coming year.
According to the best Information
chtainable by the sales department of
the exchange, conditions in the lead
ing market centers of the north dur
ing the coming winter will be favora-
bic to the interests of Florida orange
and grapefruit growers. The buying
capacity of the public, it is said, is al
most certain to be increased rather
than decreased as compared with pre-
vlous seasons and the growing appre-
ciation of the food and health value
OF Florida fruit must necessarily add
to the demand for these.
Spectators at Work.
| Notwithstanding this favorable out
look, the exchange officers are in pos
session of facts showing that specula-
tors are now contracting for many
crops OF oranges or grafefruit at
prices which will hardly cover the
costs of production. Buyers who Sc
fcure fruit at these low figures are
likely to make a great deal more than
the grove owners. Every. effort will
be made by the exchange to thorough
ly inform growers as to the probable
market conditions next winter, that
they may not dispose of their fruit
for less than it's worth through igno-
rance of the real conditions.
| DR.. j. H. Ross, president, explained
to the board of directors in full detail
the methods that have been decided
upon for this educational campaign
within the state. He strongly urged
every director, every sub-exchange
manager and every association man
ager to cooperate heartily in the eff
fort. In an eloquent talk, Dr.. Ross
pointed out wherein the sale of fruit
(: for less than its worth by non-ex-
change member makes it correspond
ingly difficult for growers affiliated
with the exchange to secure just
! p''ces for their product.

has had several meetings since the di-

-Four Minute Talks
BY william II. Bawden

The hardest thing In this world to
experience is success. Many a man
who a gone through a long pro-
longed period Of adversely with fly
ing colors will go to pieces when the
tide of success sets strongly his way.
This is but natural, for with every-
thing going against a man he is sim
ply all the more on his guard that
matters may not become worse. On
the other hand, flushed with success
he is very apt to relax his efforts and
his vigilance, n so fall all the more
easily a victim of q counter stroke.
AS we are reminded by the old
couplet, the devil simply RACES in con-
temptation of the weakest saint on his
knees. That Is no time for O dlabolio
attack, for the stronger the attack
the more the prayer. Instead of that
his satanic majesty knows full well
how to lull to sleep all suspicious of
an attack, how with lattery to speak
words of oily and empty compliment.
1t is the most insidious kind of attack
for the saint forgets to pray, and soon
falls q prey to such @ hellish on
slaught. Witness the old story of
how the serpent first beguiled Eve and
then accomplished her downfall.
Under a peerless leader the allied
forces in France have patiently and
pSESl5l6uIiy lOuBnL Ohl every dJtdCk Va
the enemy. These attacks have been
very %grievous, exceedingly trying,
sometimes almost fatal. Here a little.
there a little. the Allied line has ben
but never broken, hanks to the skill
of the leaders and the bravery of the
men. Then the enemy himself. drunk
en- with his apparent success, misled
into believing hat he might despise
the Allies, exposed his flank, an oppor-
tunity quickly to be taken ADVANTAGE
of by his opponents. Now the shoe is
on the other foot, with the Allies fol
the present is the initiative, to them
has come the long-looked for success.
1t Is for us, both at home and at this
front, to keep our poise, to keep ouf
feet on the ground, and not to become
delirious over any success, no matter
how great, unit. the final victory IL
won.
Eternal vigilance is the price OF
liberty" 1t is also the price of sue
cess. of victory; for success and vic.
tory give US the liberty for which We
work and fight. Even after victory
finally comes. which we all pray mal
be very soon. and the league of nations
for peace has been formed, which is
already taking substantial shape in
the minds of many, wen then we shall
need that same vigilance In the main
tenance of our new found liberty that
we now need in securing It. We have
the will to win, and must have the will
to keep the upper hand, those of us
who believe that victory spells a re-
newed sense of Righteousness in lib
erty and Justice.

So Commissioner Kracke Says In
Opinion Adopted by Public Ser
vice Board.
BIZ Special Correspondent
TOTTENVILLE. July 27-The tran
sit facilities on Staten Island are de-
scribed as 'intolerable" in an opinion
prepared by Commissioner f. j.. n.
kracke and adopted by the Pubic
Service Commission.
Municipal, State n Federal au-
thorities are called upon to remedy
Transportation facilities to and from
the various shipyards, base hospitals,
manufactures OF war munitions n
the like, which ave combined 70
make Staten Island virtually q great
base depot for the United States Gov
eminent in wartime.
Mr.. Kracke, after a close STUDY,
wrote that the condition of the cars,
rolling stock, equipment and tracks
of the Staten Island surface compa-
mics are rapidly becoming such that,
as a sheer matter of public safety,
operation and the furnishing of SER
vice may have to be abandoned alto
gether unless speedy action is taken
by the proper authorities"
Cautioning the city authorities not
to interpose too long and too in
exorable a barrier to such an advance
in fares as may be found necessary
to secure to these companies O revenue
euficient to permit the rendering of
an adequate SERVICE" Mr.. Kracke
adds;
There are many indications that
the people of the borough would glad
" pay O slightly increased fare, az
least during the war period. If only
better service thereby be secured and
assured"
Mr.. Kracke describes measures
adopted by the United States Shipping
Board to overcome the poor transit
facilities. These include the charter
ing of steamers to take workers living
IN Brooklyn and Manhattan to and
from Staten Island.
