Big Turtle Captured

A most daring fight was waged
by Joe Washington and Charlie
Bodiford, Mond ay afternoon,
against a 350-fb loggerhead tur-
tie.
While riding on the wharf in a
truck, these two young men saw
theturtle swimming along by the
dock and finding no other weapon
to capture it with, discovered
about $50 #. of half inch rope ;
then they decided to lasso this sea
monster. Charlie tied one end of
the rope to Joe's waist, who took
the rope in one hand, sprang ov-
erboard, making a good catch by
grabbing the turtle in a position,
so as to steer it to the surface.
This animal fought desperately
for thirty minutes or more, carry
ing Joe under the water, but he
held fast, and with the rope out
as far as could be spared from
the dock, Charlie could not give
any slack, so he Immediately saw
that his help would be necessary
overheard also; so over he jump
ed, after having tied one end of it
to the dock. He then fastened
the loop over the turtle, after
which they both swan back to
the dock with their trophy.
Some people standing by helped
them land this monster, declaring
that this was the most daring and
extraordinary fight Of the week.
OF course, this is not much out
of the way in the line Of sport for
Punta Gorda, as there is always
some thrilling adventure taking
place in this line.

The Enigma is Solved

The News, of Arcadia, is in re-
ce;pt Of a letter from a woman in
Cinnecticut telling of how "she is
sitting beside a hard-coal fire and
shivering," and wondering what
she is going to do. That is an
easy one. Tell her to either burn
soft coal-or get away from the
fire; use her own judgement at
least little bit. Bytheway, the
News, of Arcadia, doesn't give
the name of its publishers, the ed
itor, the manager, or even the
owner. What'n thunder is it
afraid of? It's a good, nice, re-
spectacle paper-and shouldn' t
be ashamed.-Thorn in Palm
Beach Post.

on the floor. He resumed his
speech in support of an amend
ment he had offered to save the
territory of his county. The
amendment failed to pass.
Mr.. Bunker of Palm Beach
county offered an amendment to
make the lines between his coun-
ty and the county of Okeechobee
the same as they are at present.
This was adopted.
Mr.. Cochran moved that all ref
erence to territory now in the
county of DeSoto be stricken from
the new bill. The speaker ruled
the amendment out of order as
containing the same subject mat
ter as was contained in the other
amendment which the house had
declined to adopt.
Mr.. Cochran then moved to
strike out the enacting clause of
the bill This failed to carry.
The bill was then advanced to
third reading after some of the
spiciest debate of the session and
was passed sc to 2S.

BIG PROFITS MADE
IN FLORIDA FARMING

Speaking of the wonderful re-
turns farmers have enjoyed this
season from the bean, cucumber,
pepper, and other small-truck
crop, the Punta Gorda Herald de-
clares ;"Florida sand is showing
this year what it can do when
properly cultivated. ("
The "grit" of her sons and the
sand of her soil is what is making
Florida rich and famous. One is
helpless without the other. Thous-
ands of acres of as good soil as
that in the Punta Gorda, Manatee,
Hastings, Plant City, Sanford and
Okeechobee sections are, to be
found all over Florida, and it is
only when men with the "grit"
to tackle the thing intelligently
get to work on these soils, that
they produce the wonderful harv-
ests we read Of this season.
1t is almost impossible to esti-
mate the actual financial returns
from Florida truck crops, for the
crops are marketed so varyingly
and so widely that no man knows
exactly what even a section has
received. We can only estimate
upon the carloads shipped at the
average prices paid reported from
different places and at varying
times.
The Punta Gorda Herald tells
us: Gone car of tomatoes netted
$1,932.50, another car netted
$1,703.75." Hundreds Of cars at
prices but little under these have
gone out or are going out now.
The federal bureau of crop es-
Inmates tells us, regarding the
Florida watermelon crop: "The
bureau has records of 16,620 acres
now planted, the forecast for the
season being 7,130 cars, 1,00U
melons to a car"
And with the price averaging
above six hundred dollars car,
while many cars are still bringing
above eight hundred dollars, or
eighty cents melon at the side
track or in the field, some idea of
what the melon crop is going to
be worth can be had.
Florida is the only state now
watermelons in market
able quantities. The state viii. as
in every other fruit and melon
and truck product, reap the best
Of the prices for its work in rails
ing the earliest produce.
1t pays to truck in Florida, ev-
en- if the sandy soil does not ap-
pear to you fit to raise anything,
provided you have the right kind,
and sufficient grit to mix with
hat sand.-Tampa Tribune.

Phoenix Barber Shop Sold

Last week, Gordon Page sold
the Phoenix barber shop, its
equipment and franchises to j. w.
Harper, who has been Pages as
sistance for several months past.
The sale carries with it the agency
of the Lakeland Laundry and the
Peek pressing club business, to
which the purchaser will give es-
pecial attention.
) Mr.. Harper is an artistic barber.
He is familiar with all the modern
methods Of conducting a first
class barber shop and he has
already put in operation all the
requisites of sanitation, having
re-modeled the shop and made it
equal in all particulars to any
shop to be found in the largest
cities. He promises satisfaction
to all who may favor him with
their patronage.
The Punta Gorda herald., 1919-06-05

Every shipper of perishables in
Florida should take advantage of
the service offered by the govern
ment marketing bureau in jack
sonville. This bureau will make
inspection of all shipments and
give certificate of condition when
leaving here and then it will be in
spected at the point of destina-
ton, thus protecting the shipper
from misrepresentation on the
part of commission houses, as to
the condition of the shipment on
its arrival at the marketing point.

The Star is not in favor Of in
creasing the salaries of cabinet Of
ficers or clerks in the various de-
partments of the state govern
ment, but it is in favor of increas-
ing the salaries of the members OF

ceive enough to paytheir board.
The Star thinks they should have
a thousand dollars apiece for each

enable a higher class of men to

A Raw Deal

The ten-mill amendment was a
raw deal for the people all
around. AT the time of the legis-
lature of 1917 was considering it,
there was nearly a million dollars
of public highway money in the
state banks. 1t could not be used
for the county schools because of
constitutional restri C ions. y
Good business sense and honesty
on the part of the Legislature
would have caused that body to
have either submitted an amend
ment that would allow such funds
to be used to help the county
schools, or if not that to use them
in such a way as to reduce the
state millage. The legislature
did neither. Why it didn't, some
of the banks in which the money
was ON deposit might tell. Some
banks have great influence with
some legislators. At any rate,
the legislature submitted "hold-
lup" amendment to the people.
1t was ''holdup," because it virtu-
ally said, "Increase your taxes or
decrease your schools. If the
people had been fully informed,
they would have defeated the
amendment and sent to the next
legislature men who would have
taken better care of their inter-
eSts. However, they had no
chance. They were kept in ig-
norance as far as possible, and
where the advocates of the
amendment couldn't help their
finding out about it, they were de-
ceived by propaganda on which
Prussianism had little. The Sc
we're defeat the amendment had
in this county shows what would
have happened to it in the other
counties had the people been in
formed. AS it is, it was adopted
by vote cast by less than a third
of the voters in the state. There
is good reason to believe that
most of these votes were cast by
men with children to educate, but
little taxes to pay. 1t makes no
difference to man who pays no
tax but his poltax how heavily
his neighbor is taxed. Men in
the cities, with no real estate, and
exempt from paying on personal
property by the slack tax laws,
voted for the amendment, of
course. Why shouldn't they? 1t
cost them nothing. In most Of
the counties, the farmers, who
have to pay taxes on almost
everything they have, stayed
away from the polls. So the
won.
The entire state is suffering
from topheavy and lopsided |
school system and dishonest meth
DDS of taxation. AS long as the
people put up with these evils,
they will have to suffer from
them. They have the remedy in
their votes. If they will not use
it, it is their own fault.-Ocala

HOW THE FIGURE PUZZLE
CHART WAS MADE

So that could possibly know in advance what
the the Figure Puzzle Game is, the chart
made follows:
The Figure Puzzle Editor arranged the figures in
light face type The squares in which the blackface type
appears left blank and these figures filled in
by Hon. NJ L. Britain State Superintendent of Schools
and Hon J. W. Simmons superintendent Of Schools for
Fulton County, two prominent citizens of Atlanta.
In this way it is impossible for any to know in
advance what the highest possible total might be,
neither of the three knew what figures the other two
were going to There is only one way to find out
and that is PLAY THE GAME.
