FRUIT GROWING NEW
HIGH PRICES RETAIL
AND BANANAS ARE
FIVE CENTS EACH.
Citrus Growers Believe This Argues
Well For Price of Their Products

Fruit, such as apples and bannas
are bringing record retail prices in
Palatka markets. and elsewhere. APP
Piles are five cents each, or sixty cents
per dozen, while the lowly banana is
quoted at the same price.
Dealers say this is not so much due
to shortage of crops, as to the high
cost of transportation and handling.
Bananas are bringing no more to the
growers in South America than for
gnerly, but the transportation charges
have increased enormously. 1t is
intimated that prices will go higher.
Growers in Florida are hoping that
this means that their citrus fruit will
also command high prices, as there
will be great deal more of it con-
sumed with other fruits so high.
Sugar Shortage Hurts.
But growers generally are not so
optimistic about grapefruit unless
there is an increase in sugar for sale.
Already the~shortage of sugar is re-
ducing The consumption of grapefruit,
and the price is receding accordingly.
Growers were hopeful that after the
hard experiences suffering during the
war when sugar was rationed, that
they would realize handsomely on
their crops of grapefruit this year.

COUNTRY CLUB IS FOR
WHOLE COUNTY Utility
CHAIRMAN OF AIGN
WRITES OPEN LETTER.
Wants Every Citizen in County to be
Member and Know of Benefits to
County.

Chairman George R. Hilty, of the
campaign committee for membership
TO the Putnam County Country Club
has addressed an open letter to all
citizens of the county calling atten-
ton to the efforts that are being made
TO make the Putnam County Country
Club a county institutions, and not
one entirely for Palatka, or for ad-
vertising Palatka.
Mr.. hilty's letter follows:
81 have been informed that some of
the citizens of Putnam County, not
residing in Palatka, feel that we are
emphasizing and advertising Palatka
too strongly in connection with the
Putnam County Country Club, and
that the county is not receiving suffi-
cient publicity, and it was for that
reason that some of the leading citi-
lens of the county have not yet par
ticipated in this new enterprise.
while it is true that we have not
received hearty response from citi-
lens outside of Palatka, with few ex-
ceptions, l am convinced that when
the Putnam County Country Club
pr OPPOSITION is properly presented
that those who are interested in their
home town and Putnam County as a
| whole, will become active members of
rnis splendid institution.
1T so happens that Palatka is the
county seat of Putnam County, and
Nature has provided a deep water nav
igation while the Railroad Companies
have constructed lines radiating from
it in all directions over Florida, thus
making Palatka the logical and natur-
al distributing point of Florida. The
cost of distributing material and sup
plies through Palatka can be made at
reduction from 80 to 40 per cent
less than from Jacksonville, and saw
ing of many hours in transportation.
Palatka, therefore, has the founda-
ton of great city.
/ "Now by advertising the Putnam
County Country Club as a great as
set to your county seat, we will be
able to attract men with capital to
your county. Suppose you and l and
the rest of us in Putnam County and
surrounding territory could within the
next ten years, by judicious advertls-
ing, increase the poulation OF Paiat-
la to $4,000 and make it what Ma
t0re and the Railroads intended it to
be-the commercial, industrial and
trading center of Florida, with COM
modious hotels, large apartment
houses, department stores, don't you
think that you and your section will
make and save money by this enter
Prise? If we increase the popula-
ton and wealth of Palatka, will it not
increase the wealth and population OF
every town and hamlet adjacent to it
as we'll as that of the county, which of
course means better roads, better
schools and a prosperous county and
a prosperous contiguous territory.

make him so nervous that he got weak and his voice trembled. Then he rallied a little and told the people that he did not want to make any specific charges till the investigation of this petition was fully made by an attorney from Kansas City. Some one in the house asked him where his credentials were tonight that he and others had made at the court house at Mena. "Oh," he said, "Mr. Taylor has them down at Vandervoort to chow the people"
 At this point Joe Allen sprang to the floor and with glowing remarks said that the gentleman was surely badly mistaken, or misinformed as to our county judge, H. w. Finger, and the Methodist church and schools of Hatfield, for, he said, the people of Polk county had never questioned the integrity and veracity of Judge Fin ger, for he was elected twice as sher- if of Polk county and last fall as county judge, No one can say that Judge Finger ever wronged him in any way.
 After MT. Allen had explained fully the Methodist church and school mat ter, Mir Lewis acted as tho he might be mistaken. There were only few present who sympathized with Lewis, and that made it hard for him to make any impression on the "dear people of Cove"
 But Mir. Lewis stated that they
