commission, to replace several unse-
cured notes not considered good col

lateral.
Governor Frazier, Attorney General
LANCER, Secretary Of State Hall and
Bank Examiner Waters called the
meeting to investigate complaints
that the name Of the Nonpartisan
league had been used in promoting
the sal eof bank stock.
It developed during the hearing that
the promoters had contract calling
for Is per cent commission on the re-
organization Of the 100000 bank and
that before the property actually was
turned over to the new corporation
the value Of the bank buildings had
been increased from $4,000 to $780,
900.
Mr.. Hastings declared that this in
crease was justified because the bank
buildings had been carried on the
books at an unnaturally low va1u-
alton.
Bank Examiner Waters was in
structed to go to Valley City to in
vestigate this before the charter is
granted.
Paul Halderson, deputy state bank
examiner, testified he had examined
the American Exchange bank and
found it in exceptionally good condi-
tion.
Secretary Of State Hall introduced
a resolution which he asked to have
published in the newspapers Of the
state warning the people against pro-
moters of speculative securities and
calling to the attention Of prosecuting
attorneys the provisions Of the blue
sky law.
Attorney General LANCER also IA
vored this resolution but said it was.
not drastic enough. He agreed to.
vote for a stronger resolution along
the same lines If put forward at the
meeting Of the state banking board

Governor Hall on Parker

Governor Hall delivered master
full, unanswerable address against teh
election Of Parker In Lake Charles
last Saturday.
No one in the State Is better quail
fed to judge the issue between Parker
and Stubs than Governor Hall.
While the speech was a master
piece of unanswerable logic, and a
whitening rejoinder to the Parkerites,
the Ex-Governor did not glOat in his
merciless attack on the tickle minded
turncOat candidate. On the contrary
he seemed rather moved with sorrow
and pity as he portrayed Parker in his
true light.
He declared that he had no pur
pose to serve and only desired to give
the voters Of Louisiana the benefit OF
his experience with Parker.
Governor Hall told the story of how
ne went over the State with Parker
eight years ago, making a fight against
the State rnig and the city bosses, ant
after winning how Parker, in less thar
six months, deserted him and obeye(
the call of Roosevelt. He showed II

GRATIFYING RESULTS
Of the Food Production Cam
paign in Florida

Those counties that have just
been covered in the Food Produc.
ton campaign are setting a pace
for the other counties to follow
and it will certainly be a good
day for Florida when the pro.
gram that has been mapped out
for these counties is carried out
The campaign has been completed
in Holmes, Brevard, st. Johns,
Citrus, Columbia, Bradford and
Leon counties, and, without ex-
ception, the farmers in these coun-
ties gave their active support to
the campaign and are enthusiastic
over the production of more food
crops, and likewise an increased
production of livestock.
Probably no county is pledging
better support than St. Lucie,
where in one section the cane
acreage will be increased 200 per
cent and corn and potatoes 100
per cent. In another section of
this same county, forage crops,
dairy products and hogs will each
be increased Is per cent this year,
according to statements made at
the meetings by the farmers them
selves.
Bradford county is also setting
a lively pace, and each of the
meetings Of this county had a rec
ord attendance and enthusiasm
was high, with farmers already
making plans for increased pro-
duction Of staple farm crops. 1t
would not be fair to mention these
two without saying that in all the
others where meetings have been
held, splendid enthusiasm has
been manifested. 3.
The tendency in the cotton
growing sections is to decrease
the acreage in cotton, replacing
same with food crops and live
stock.
AS result of the campaign,
several committees have called
meetings to organize the farmers
into agricultural clubs.
The attendance has been unsu-
ally good, except in a few sec
tions where the influenza is very
prevalent. The record attend
ance was at st. Augustine, where
at least three hundred people
were present.

Much Guava Jelly Made

Fifteen thousand pounds of
guava jelly were produced in
West Palm Beach and vicinity in
the past year, by the estimate of a
resident of this city who sought
to make the figures cover no more
than actual production This es-
innate does not include the entire
county. One-third of this went
to one firm for sale to visitors or
for shipment out of the county.
There has been a marked de-
velopment in the practice of put
ting up guava jelly for export
throughout the United States. In
several families the industry is an
important source of income. Each
year a larger number of visitors
are made acquainted with the un-
rivaled flavor and, as they send
samples back home, the market is
increased.
There are reports that all along
the coast there is development of
the business. One of the agencies
tending, to stimulate the produc-
ton in this county is the work of
Miss Hopkins, the county home
demonstration a gent. - T m
Beach Post.

IMPORTANT MEETING
OF ORANGE GROWERS
To Be Held in Arcadia on Feb
Iuary 10Th.
SOME PROBLEMS PENDING
Campaign for Better Fruit to be
Inaugurated by State and Fed
eral Experts, Who Will Address
the Growers at the Meeting. .......

Every progressive citrus grow
er realizes that the time has ar
rived when the quality of Florida
citrus fruits should be improved.
There is much to be gained by i'm
proving the appearance of the
Florida oranges and grapefruit
which are sent to Northern mark
cts and which must compete with
fruit from other sections of the
United States. 1t is a well known
fact that Florida oranges present
a worse appearance, as rule,
than fruit from California or any
other citrus section.
The percentage of culls in the
average growers crop is great
deal higher than necessary. 1t
takes as much labor and fertilizer
to produce culls as it does to pro-
duce fruit of the highest grade.
Nearly every grower also has in
his grove trees which are shy
bearers, and which are actually a
liability instead of an asset. They
occupy ground and use fertilizer
that should be used by proft-re-
turning, productive trees.
With the object of assisting the
citrus growers of this portion of
Florida in producing better fruit,
the University of Florida exten-
sion division has arranged for a
meeting of citrus growers at Ar
cadia on Feb. 10. The various
factors entering into the question
of producing better fruit will be
fully discussed by experts from
the university, from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and
from the State Plant Board.
Spraying for the control of
scale-insects and white flies is of
the utmost necessity in producing
bright fruit, and this subject will
be discussed at the coming meet
ing by Prof. w. w. Yothers. of
the Bureau of Entomology, u. s.
Department of Agriculture. Prof.
Yothers is well known to Florida
growers because of his exhaustive
researches in connection with
spraying problems.
Prof. Leo B. Scott, the eminent
jurisdiction specialist of the de-
will also be 1T this meet
ing and will tell the growers how
to eliminate the drone, or unpro-
ductive trees, replacing them with
trees of proven parentage and a.
bility.
Other addresses will be made
upon causes of Fruit Loss and
Poor Appearing Fruit" "Cultu-
raj Methods in Relation to Better
Fruit, " Protection of the Grove
from Insects and Disease" !" ETC.,
each address being by specialist
N his particular field.
The extension division of the
University, assisted by the State
Plant Board and U. S. Department
If Agriculture, has gotten togeth-
II corps of speakers for this oc-
.asion, the like of which has prob
Ibly never before visited this sec
ion, and every grower who at
ends the meeting is certain to
,rofit from it.-Arcadia News.

PuNTA GORDA BOYS
ON BANKS OF Rhine
After a Hike of Two Hundred
Miles
WRITE THEIR HOME FOLKS
Very Interesting Letters Received
From James Skies, Tom Steele,
Coe Allen and Hoyt Rasch.-
All are Well and Enjoying Life.


Sgt. Jamie Skies writing to the
home folks, Dec. 22nd, uses some
beautiful postal cards of the place
where he is staying, a historical
place on the Rhine. He says:
except in action and have been
sent here to have charge of super
vision and maintenance of the
roads in this area. We are at
tached to the 5th Field Hospital
for rations and billets.
FThis is a very old place and
historical spot consisting of mon
astery church which is over 800
years old and the n v May
be here for a long time. The Ho-
tel is Maria Baach Nit Gaacher
See."
Mr.. and Mrs. John Rasch re-
ceived last week an Illustrated
card from their son, Hoyt, who is
with the American army of occu-
patton in Germany. The card is
postmarked Dee. 9th and con-
tains a roster of Hoyt's company,
in which he is high private. His
company has been pronounced the
bravest and best in the whole bri-
gade.
Since receiving the card they
have received several letters from
him.
Mrs. f. M. Cooper had a letter
last week from her son, Coe AL
len, dated Dec. 18th, from a town
on the Rhine, from which the fol-
lowing extracts are taken:
Yesterday | received three pa
pers from home. Have read all
of them and hope to get some first
class mail before long. My last
letter from you was dated Oct. Is.
eve had a nice long hike get
ting to the Rhine but we arrived
OK. The German people were
very hospitable to us. Much more
than we expected.
"What you wrote about we
boys not writing was right. Tell
Mrs. Steele that the last time we
were in the lines that / saw Tom
after coming out and he was O. K. |
Also saw jamie and he was in
good shape. | also saw Monk |
Waltmire before he was hurt.
"We do not lnow for sure, but |
we hear that our division is the
best in the American army. If so
we will have a very pretty divis-
ion mark. Consists of a red, a
white, and blue stripe with a
gold star in the center of each
stripe. 1t lies between our divis-
ion and another one as to which
is the best.
"Makes me homesick to see
boat going up and down the Rhine
Maybe | will be at home this
spring and see the boats on the
bay. Hope to, any way.
81 am well, in good shape and
looking forward to seeing you be-
fore long"
OF three letters received by
Mrs. Steele from her son Tom, the
following will prove of interest to
his many friends:
"Guess you will think that | am
dead, but we have been hiking
through Germany and we could
not write. guess you have
heard lots about the Rhine river.

A Word as to Our
 Credit Policy

Our credit policy may be considered conservative. Many people find it convenient to buy furniture on the payment plan. We are glad to extend our facilities to them on a conserva- tive plan. Conservative for the pur- chaser as well as ourselves. We do not wish to sell on payments a dol lars worth more than tho purchaser can conveniently pay out on. The idea is to handle this feature of the busi- ness so that avery payment buyer will continue to be our friend after their payment purchases are paid out. We value this business as we value our cash and monthly account business and we wish to handle it just as sat isfactorily,

BUY bELLEAU WOOD
 AS MEMORIAL FUR
 COLONEL ROOSEVELT

A movement has been instituted in New York in relation to an interna- uonal memorial in honor of Colonel Roosevelt. Behind the movement are the leading men of the city and men who were his associates in public life. Definite plans already have been made This movement has no relation to any that may be undertaken for a national or local monument.
 It is proposed that BeIleau Wood. where the American marines first turned the Germans back and which has already been named by the French government, The Wood of the Ma rines." be acquired from France by purchase as the final resting place of all those dead American soldiers whose families wish or prefer that they should lie in France where they died. It is proposed to have this wood, with the proper architectural and landscape treatment consecrated to the memory of Colonel Roosevelt in recognition of his international statesmanship.
 Messrs Richard Washburn Child. Ju- lian Street and Cushing Stetson have been apointed as a committee to com municate with those who have been closely associated with Colonel Roose- welt, to secure an expression of opinion On the subject.
