This means that the tire of 1910, which would today be consid- cred anticipated, cost the consumer about fortysiX per cent more than the splendidly constructed tire of today.

PLANT CITY WILL HAVE
CASTOR BEAN HULLING
! ! MACHINE In NEAR FUTURE
VIII Save Trouble Of Shipping to the
Mill in Bulk; Machinery VIII
Arrive Soon
(Plant City Courier.)

tPlant lily SouiiOi'l
According to information received
here. D. c. Gillett has arranged TO
establish a castor bean hulling station
in Plant City to care for the beans IN
this section as we'll as afford this con-
venience to growers or adjoining
counties. Inability to secure ma
chine that will do the work and still
come within reach Of bean growers
left only two courses-have all the
beans shipped to the plant at Gaines
willie and hull them there, or establis-
hulling stations at points OF most con-
venience. For this part of the State,
Plant City offers more in the way OF
railroad facilities, schedules, ETC.,
and connecting roads for hauling
beans by private conveyance. In iso-
lated cases the grower may elect to
thresh his beans by some sort of home
made thresher, but it is pointed out
that there will be saving by having
the hulling done by machinery, as the
cost will be small
1t is expected that announcement
will be made within a week or ten
DAYS as to exact location of the hull
err plant, and with information of par
ticular interest to castor bean grow
ers.

had carried the former Emperor Mich

the Americans many interesting de-

The conductor was an energetic lit

He was thorough convert to the
Bolshevik doctrine and showed no
sympathy with the late Emperor.

AMOS NORRIS HOME
BURGLARIZED

The home of Mrs. Amos Norris on
Plat street was entered Monday al.
ternoon and ransacked during the abb
sence of the family, small sum of
money, one or two articles of jewelry
and small handbag stolen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Norris were at Null.
berry where Mr.. Norris is manager
of the Mine and Mill Supply Com
pany, and did not return until yester.
day, the fact of the robbery being
discovered by neighbors.
According to the statement Of the
neighbor who made the discovery
Mrs. Norris had left some washing
on the rear porch and asked the
neighbor to lock the rear door, after
the washerwoman had taken away
the clothes.
The woman did not come for the
clothes, and toward night having de-
cided that she was not coming, the
neighbor, Mrs. Jones, went over to
lock up.
To do this it was necessary to lock
the door from the inside, and pass
through the house and out the front
door, which fastens with spring
lock.
The rear rooms were in good or
der, but on reaching the front rooms
Mrs. Jones discovered that every
thing was in confusion and called her
husband who went over and together
they made search of the house.
Evidence pointed to the thief hav'
ing entered by way of front upper
window. Drawers had been emptied
of their contents, beds mussed up,
and clothes taken from the closets
and thrown on the floor.
Silvcrware and other valuables
which were handy for the thief, how,
ever, had not been taken.
A Tribune man, hearing of the
robbery, not knowing that the house
was empty tried several times dur.
ing Tuesday afternoon to call the
Norris family by phone, but of course
without result. About 1870 Tuesday
night, however, while talking ovel
the affair with Chief of Police Hen
derson, who had not previously beer
notified of the burglary, the Tri-
bune man suggested to the chief thai
he try to get the house, and after
ringing a few times mans voice
answered
On the chiefs asking If this was
the Norris house, the man said, mo
that is not the Norris number now
call 4539." This was done and
proved to be the Hotel Almo. 'In
formation" was then asked for the
Norris number and replied, giving
, the original number which had beer
called.
This would lend to the suppositior
that some person was in the Norris
home on Tuesday night, but as nj
further investigation was made, tina
point still remains mystery-Tam

A most regrettable accident &C.

Lacy Virgins and Mrs. Jesse B. Viii.
son of East Plant City. The WON

bruises and injuries, the extent OF
which has not been definitely estah-

as able to be up part of the day and
friends trust that she will suffer no
permanent harm. Mrs. Wilson was
partially crippled, but her injury was

The accident is said to have been
due to Observation-Disclosures in
