Of the mcney which it carried away,
as well as surrender the lands which
it took. Money is not mentioned BY

There are 100000 gallons Of

Maryland to supply the demand until

which has been signed by President
Wilson, will go ito effect.
After estimating the population CT
Maryland, with particular attention
To the percentage furnished by the
city of Baltimore, it will be estimated
that in = gallon ct>whisky there are,
roughly ,peaking. just about 20 drinks.
1herefo:a, by simple multiplication, It
is readily seen that there are a. pre-

fore next July no less than l69,-

When the announcement was made
that President Wilson had signed the

inst carries lengthy article announc-
ing removal to that place of ]. T..
Davis, for years one of the most ex-
tensive farmer-truckers in Polk coun-
ty. 1t says, in part:
! -. R. Davis, known as the Potato
King of Barlow, has moved here with
his family and taken up 400 acres OF
land in the famous Fort Myers-lona
section. He is not a stranger, having
been here previously number OF
times visiting, and now his visits turn
out to have been tours of investigation
and observation into the agricultural
and horticultural possibilities Of Lee
county in view of investigating and
locating, which finally decided him to
become permanent resident of Lee
county. Formerly he spent his sum-
mer vacation in the West, but finds it
cooler and much more pleasant on
the banks Of the Caloosahatchee,
where he can spend his vacation on
or near his farm.
"Of his 400 acres he will start this
season with 70 acres which he will
plant in peppers and egg plants, and
,clear a part of his land for the grow
ing of citrus fruits. On the subject
of citrus groves, Mr.. Davis recalled
the big freeze in '95 after which he
stated that grove owners in Lee coun-
ty continued to ship fruits, and he
knew of one case here where grow
err averaged 500 per annum from one
of his trees for several years after
the big freeze"
