GRATIFYING OUTLOOK
FOR GOOD PRICES
FOR CITRUS FRUITS

DR.. ]. H. Ross, president of the
Florida Citrus Exchange, issues the
following communication to grove
owners:
Fellow Grower: This letter will
close the series from the executive
officers of the Florida Citrus Ex-
change, acquainting growers with the
work we are doing in behalf Of the
citrus fruit industry of the state.
I am particularly glad at this time
to convey to my fellow growers such
good news concerning the prospects
for the coming season.
Having just returned from long
trip through the North, in company
with Mr.. Skeilly, our sales manager,
I am thoroughly impressed with the
outlook for good prices for our fruit.
The pessimistic rumors which have
been circulated during the past few
months now may be said to have been
disposed of very definitely. That they
were without foundation is now es'
tablished. Yet some growers i'm
pressed by this idle gossip, which
may or may not have been originated
by speculative interests, became un-
duly alarmed and sold their fruit
considerably below what it is even
now worth.
These growers greatly reduced
their possible helpfulness to their
government by their action, regard
less of how good their intentions. I.
is fortunate for Florida that only
comparatively few growers were thus
induced to part with their crops, or
our states ability to handle future
quotas of Liberty bonds and other
government undertakings would have
been seriously impaired.
In the accompanying folder I have
endeavored to present my views con-
corning next seasons prospects,
which are respectfully submitted for
your reading.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
DRIVE JUNE %
Entire City and County Thoroly Or
ganized for Big Event - Your
Last Chance to Buy Stamps

In accordance with President Will
sons proclamation issued May 30
special drive to secure sufficient
pledges to insure the absolute success
of the War Savings Stamp campaign
will be made on June %. Director
Eosard has made his committee ap-
continents and these committees have
appointed their co-Workers and every
thing is being put in readiness for a
whirlwind campaign for pledges.
Norman Ellison, chairman of the city
committee has made his appoint
ments and outlined the plans for the
work in Minot. The business district
has been divided into nine separate
districts and the residence section into
nine districts. The ladies who did
such effective work in the recent drive
fer Red Cross subscriptions have been
drafted into service for this work.
Miss Sandstrom, Of the Y. w. G. A.
will be the general OF this section.
Mr.. Ellison will personally supervise
the work of the committees handling
the drive thruout the business dis
trict. The quota assigned to Ward
County is in the neighborhood OF
SSOO,0OU and Minot's share Of this is
100000. No stamps will be sold
just pledges to purchase a given
amount of War Savings Stamps by
January 1, 1919. This gives one six
months time in which to purchase
the stamps. In no instance is any
one allowed to buy in excess of 81 900
worth of stamps and after January, in
all probability, the stamps will be
withdrawn from sale. Director Bos-
ard says that North Dakota is be-
hind in raising it's quota of stamp
purchases but that the coming drive
is sure to put the state cover the
top. Practically every retail store
in the city will have stamps for sale
so that every convenience will be sup
piled the public to facilitate their
purchases. The initial announcement
by the Minot Town Criers Club un-
der whose auspices the Minot drive
will be made appears in this issue Of
the Independent and full particulars
will appear in our next issue.
