still In the northwest, north and

riously to drive q pincer into the

Washington, June I3.-The reason

til women are admitted to the suf-

can the nations OF the world realize
for the benefit OF future generations

The Citrus Exchange to Make It's
Own Crates

The Florida Citrus Exchange
does not intend to be dependent
upon the crate mills Of the state
for orange boxes the coming sea-
son, but will be in a position to
manufacture their own boxes.
This is not so much on account of
orange boxes jumping in price
from sixteen to thirty cents, but
more a question of getting boxes
at any price.
Some months ago the Polk
County Sub-Exchange purchased
a crate factory at Lake Wales.
which is now in charge of Mr.. J.
A. Caldwell. The Florida Citrus
Exchange has organized an aux
Hilary which is known as the Ex-
