A POILU

What is a poilu?" is answered by
Ernest Dimnet in The Atlantic Month
ly in this way: "A humble man who,
one July afternoon in 1914, left at
two hours notice his Partisan shop
or workshop, or his ripe wheat fields
or his ripening vines for military
depot he had never liked and had
to tolerate only because sol
diering and all things soldierly are
lovable to the Frenchman and take on
halo in his imagination; was packed
to the Belgian frontier; made the ac-
quaintance Of danger under all its
forms; fought, hungered-hungered
and thirsted-for days; knew the
trenches when they were in their
crudest novelty and worse than the
badgers hole; got wounded and lay
for hours, sometimes days, where he
had fallen, or crawled miles to q
hurried surgeon and to the torturing
goods trucks pompously labeled SAM
tary trains; got we'll and went back
to the depot, and then back to the
front and to fighting or being shelled !;
and so on during four years, with the
ever-disappointed certainty that next
winter must be the last or that the
imminent coming in of this or that
nation must bring the end"

NURSE IN FRANCE
FINDS BANDAGES MADE
BY RED CROSS CHAPTER
AT ST. PETERSBURG
(St. Petersburg Times)

Susan d. Potts, Red Cross nurse
in France, was busy one day band
aging the wounds of American boys.
AS she hastily tore open package of
bandages she saw from the label that
it was from st. Petersburg, Fla. AS
she had spent winter in the Sun
shine City, during her next rest Pc
riod she wrote a letter to the chapter
here. The letter came yesterday and
was read at the meeting of the execu-
tive committee at headquarters. Com
ing as a thrilling bit Of concrete evil
dence at the moment that the com
nlittee was hearing a report on the
tremendous total of work accom-
plished by the chapter during the
year just passed, it filled the mem.
bers with renewed zeal for the great
work they are doing.
The letter written by the nurse was
written in France on July "a and Is
headed Dear st. Petersburg Chapter
of the American Red Cross" The
letter follows:
Recently, went one morning to 4
locker to take out dressings for our

and warmth and hospitality, which

"All over our own land there are
women who are working ceaselessly
and untiringly, and here and in every
post is endless evidence of work and
sacrifice. Sometimes fear that there
may be times in which we lose sight
of the work required to supply us
with the necessities and comforts.
But your work is appreciated. wish
every woman at home could have just
one chance, at least, to see our boys,
Uncle Sans sons, fearless in the
fight, their leaders tell us; and as
wounded men-splendid! Always
they are accomplishing, patient, bear
ing pain with wonderful fortitude.
Your hearts would be wrung with
pity but you would be very proud
your papers at home are telling
you what they are doing. We see it.
God bless them and those over there
who are behind the lines helping us
take care of the wounded.
Gratefully, with kind wishes and
thoughts for all the st. Petersburg

NUMEROUS GROWERS
SECURE so TO $3.50 FOR
ORANGES ON THE TREE
HONEYWELL Growers Sell to P. II. warn.
OF BrandOn-LOcal Buyers Are
Also Active


Despite the fear that cost OF LABOR
and materials of all kinds will be far
greater than before, buyers are clos
ing deals for oranges in this section
at 50 and better on the tree, with,
however, provision that fruit be de-
livered to the packing-houses.
During the past few days growers
in the Hopewell section, where some
of the finest groves in South Florida
are located, closed with P. H. Warm,
of Brandon, at $3.50 according to
statements made here Saturday. These
purchases include the fruit on the
Mcdonald groves, and others. The
fruit on most of these places was
packed by local buyers last season.
The Hopewell crop will probably ex-
coed $4,000 boxes.
The Plant City buyers are active,
however, and some deals of consid-
cradle importance have been made
during the past few days. Daniel &
House have, it is understood, pur-
chased the fruit on the grove of Fl.
Clemens at 50. 20 delivered. The crop
is estimated at $500 boxes. They also
have arranged to handle the fruit
from the groves of B. Burney G.. B..
Chapman, W. M. Cone, Geo. Hamil-
ten, L. Brannon, Dwight L. Crum and
W. M. Hooker, the latter living at
Turkey Creek. The price range on
this fruit is from So to 1920 deliv-
cred. Other buyers closed number
Of deals, and in nearly all cases the
fruit is bringing So or better.
Both orange and grapefruit crops
will be considerable larger than last
season, and growers should realize
handsomely. The grapefruit crop in
the West Coast is said to be very fine,
and, barring more serious shortage OF
sugar than is anticipated now, will
bring good prices. Plant City

High Cost of Eggs
Worries Texan Producers

Results shown by the accounts kept
at the Texas Agricultural experiment
station emphasize the following i'm
portant facts relative to the high price
of eggs:
During November eggs cost $50 cents
per dozen. A large number of hens
was involved and feed was purchased
IN ton lots. The average cost of eggs
for the month was doubtless nearer
90 cents than so cents The difficulty
of securing feed and its exceedingly
high price make the cost of producirr
eggs eNorbitant. This is augmented
by the exceedingly dry weather. which
causes a lack of green feed. Green
iced is essential to satisfactory egg
production. The cold weather durjne
the early part Of December has resulted
IN decrease of about 80 per cent in
production.
This will undoubtedly again advance
the cost of eggs to Is cents or probably
more. 1T is doubtful whether they will
be profitable at that price.-Fort Worth
Record.
