% CARS OF VEGETABLES MOVE
IN ONE DAY FROM WAUCHULA

Twenty-Five solid carloads Of Gu
cumbers and beans left Wauchula
Wednesday and twenty-five were to
leave yesterday, providing the rail
road could handle them. The truck
ing season of the Wauchula section is
at its height and the truckers are
reaping a rch harvest. Cukes sold
the first Of the week at $500 per ham,
per at h station, and Wednesday were
SLING at $500. Yesterday there was
but little buying, but wires from New
York. stated that cukes sold in that
city yesterday from $3.50 $500 and
as these cukes go into market in car
loads by freight it nets the grower a
fine price. Green beans sold in New
York yesterday at $500 and wax
beans brought $3.50, and in some in
stances sold for $3.50. Boston yester-
day was selling beans and cukes at
$500 to $3.50.
A few potatoes are coming in and
bringing $500 to $3.50 per bushel
hamper, and the last of the cabbage
crop 8 also going out, selling atNhe
station at $125 to $3.50 per hamper.
Tuesday there was a car shortage
in Wauchula and the growers~begin
to feel gloomy, but the railroad was
onto the job and cars commenced to
roll in early Wednesday morning.
Yesterday there were more than forty
cars on the sidings being loaded. Our
growers are particularly fortunate In
securing transportation in COMPARE
son with the lettuce and celery ship
pers of Sanford and Manatee county.
These growers shipped earlier in the
sason and their complaints are bear
ing good results for the Wauchula
growers.
The best of the shipping in this Sec
ton has Just commenced and Wau-

CONGRESSMAN DRANt
RECEIVES BEAUTIFUL
PATRIOTIC TIE FROM
Two LAKELAND FRIENDS

Under a Washington date line the
following appeared in last nights
Tampa Times:
Congressman Herbert ]. Drane, Of
Lakeland, Fla. is wearing the most
elaborate necktie in all Washington
1t is probably the most elaborate and
patriotic tie in the whole United
States.
This necktie has attracted the at
tention Of all Congress and as the
members have crowded around Repre-
sentative Drane asking about it. they
have heard pathetic story of a
Florida woman's patriotic fervor
burning brightly as she sat patiently
watchful at the bedside of a crippled
widowed mother.
This necktie is a sample of the dain-
iiest needlework imaginable, SO dain-
ty that the women of the congression-
al circle have marvelled at the minute
stitches made with mathematical pre-
cision. It is made of broad red, white
and blue stripes. Embroidered upon
1t is waving q. S. Flag. This flag is
perfect in all details. It has 13 alter
nate red and white stripes. There are
As tiny stars on a field of blue and
each star is perfectly formed. Con-
