thot more than one million boxes OF
oranges and grapefruit will be snip

Prices obtained have been most sa1is-

Of how staple is the citrus fruit IN

while this is large sum OF money
there is no doubt the purchasers VIII

part of progressive growers, we nave
an excellent example of the money
making possibilities of orange and
grapefruit culture. Not only are grove
owners obtaining most excellent pric-
es for their fruit, but good bearing
grove properties are eagerly sought
as gilt-edged investments.
There have been large NUMBER OF
transactions in grove properties in
Polk county in the last four months
Many of these nave run to high fig
ures, notably the sale of the sixty
acre Boyd grove on Lake Howard,
near Winter Haven, recently, for $780,
600. While the price per acre paid for
the Lynchburg property is not nota
bly, high, the total transaction goes
to make it the biggest single deal in
grove property which has ever taken
place in the South Florida citrus fruit
belt.

employees in stores which are mem
bers of that organization will have
the same working hours this summer,
as time is reckoned by the sun, as
they had last year. 1t was suggested
at the directors meeting that with
eastern time already in effect, and the
daylight saving law providing for ar
other hours advance of the clocks,
to $50 o'clock was too early an
hour to close.
If the merchants followed the clock
according to the reasoning of me di-
rectors, at the meeting presided over
by President Fred Wolf, the store that
closed at 6 o'clock would be forcing
its patrons to do business in the hot
test part of the day. This summer S
o'clock will correspond, in relation to
the sun and the heat of the day, to 5
o'clock last year, and to o'clock as
ii was two years ago, and heretoforc
Mr.. Wolf said he did not see how mer-
chants could expect shopping to be

The directors did not decide on any
set opening and closing hour, as
these vary in different stores, al
though corresponding in certain lines
of business. But a store that former
ly opened at Z a. m. would not open
until a. M, under the new arrange
ment, and if 1t closed at 6 p, m.
would not close until 7 p. m. The
employees and business men them
selves would have the same length
of working hours, and the same pc
Rod of time as regards sunrise and
sunset, although not the same as to
the clock.

MEMORIAL BUILDING PLANS

So far the committee has not been
able to accomplish much on account
of existing conditions and as yet has
no definite plans to offer.
Before the committee can proceed
with its work intelligently it must be
decided if the Citizens of Lakeland
want a Community Building in Mum
Park
If it is decided to put building in
the Park then the committee can con
slider plans for building, ascertain If
the Y. M. G. A., the Y. W. c. A.,
the Woman's Club, the Chamber of
Commerce or other bodies desire
space in the building and what rental
they will pay, then the committee can
outline its plans as to size, space and
architecture of building including
its probable cost.
If the building is to be erected
elsewhere quite number OF ques-
lions arise. Can a suitable lot be
secured elsewhere?
Such lot would probably cost FIVE
or six thousand dollars or more.
If placed too far from center would
not be so desirable for accommoda-
ton of tourists, reading room, Cham
Der of Commerce. Information Bu-
reau, etc., the first cost and up-keep
would be markedly increased,
The election April LIST is for one
purpose only: TO DECIDE IF THE
CITIZENS OF LAKELAND WANT A
COMMUNITY BUILDING IN THE
PARK.
If majority vote is favorable, then
the committee can get down to bust
ness and soon have something tangi-
BILE and definite to present to the peo-
pie and the various organizations
they represent for endorsement.
Nothing definite can be decided un-
til each organization represented has
en- opportunity to vote on the report
of the committee.
No organization is committed o.
bound until 1t has an opportunity to
vote on the report of the committee,
If a majority, on April list. vote
against community building in the
Park, then it will be necessary to
know if Lakeland really wants COM
munity building and is willing to pay
the extra cost and expense with les
sened usefulness.
The location of this building and its
usefulness are very important ques-
tons and each citizen should eonsid-
er the subject carefully before voting.
Space forbids detailed discussion at
this time. but think for a moment on
one question only-light, ventilation

Polk County Grove
Brings 100000

(By Frank Kay Anderson.l
Three hundred thousand dollars for
an orange grove
Remember the story of the old fel-
! low who had been running hotel in
Arkansas sold it out and went tc
Chicago for the Worlds fair N So:
He admired the Palmer House very
much, and was so open in his admir-
alton that Potter Palmer jokingly
asked him if he would like to buy
the place. He said it looked like a
good stand and he might if the price
was right. Mr.. Palmer said ne would
sell cheap; 100000 would take 1t.
eff had 100000 what the dickens
do you suppose l would want with e
hotel!" was the old fellows answer.
That persons possessing the money
are willing to pay 100000 for an
orange grove is strong testimonial
to the stability of the present-day cit
rus industry in south Florida. and in
Polk county in particular.
That the men concerned in making
the purchase are among the foremost,
and best posted men engaged in the
citrus industry in the state only adds
10 the value of the evidence.
Papers will be filed in Barlow this
week, transferring ownership OF the
well-known Lynchburg grove, near
Auburndale in Polk county, for a
consideration of 100000.
The purchase is made by a syndl-
cate of well known Polk county cit
rus fruit men. The deal was worked
up by Charles H. Walker of Barlow
manager of the Polk County Citrus
Sub-exchange OF the Florida Citrus
Exchange, Among those known to
be associated with him in the pur-
chase are DR.. J.. H. Ross OF Flor
ence Villa, president of the Florida
Citrus Exchange, John A. Snively.
Duncan Bruce and G. c.. Command
er, Florence Villa, H. w. Smell, prom
inent banker of Winter Haven and
Frank L. Ripley of Boston, who is a
winter resident of Winter Haven.
All are well known in the citrus
fruit industry and are owners of 9th
err Polk county grove properties Mr.,
Ripley is president of the Boston auc-
ton house where all fruits are sold in
that city.
The Lynchburg grove was the prop
erty of the Southern Citrus Corpora

Lynchburg, Va, is president. 1t EN-
braces between four and five hundred
acres, of which 1928 acres are in
grove. The oldest trees are twelve
years old, the youngest trees ter
years old, two years being taken in
planting the tract.
In addition to the grove property
itself, the purchase includes a large

grounds together with modern build.

used in cultivation. 1t also includes

The property is situated on high
