pearance before the board. In brief
address, Mr.. Scott made splendid
impression and showed his complete
familiarity with all the problems Of
citrus fruits. He was warmly greet
ed by the directors and his talk en-
Enthusiastically received. y
While the fiscal year of the ex-1
change does not end until Sept. 1,
it is apparent that there will be
considerable surplus at that time
from last seasons operations. In ad-
dition to the moneys voted for the use
Of the Growers Loan and Guaranty
Company, a refund direct to the local
associations through the sub-ex-
changes with which they are affiliat-
ed was decided upon.
Plans for the advertising of the
coming season were reported to be
working out nicely. The new book
let and the store cards, cut-outs, ETC.,
are we'll under way and will be ready
for distribution by the time fruit be-
gins to move. The board adopted a
recommendation of the advertising
committee providing for the concen-
tration of the magazine campaign In
the months of November and Decem-
ber and directing that the newspaper
advertising should follow.
A number Of other matters Of rou-
tine nature were discussed at length.
Resolutions were adopted urging ev-
cry citrus growers association to ad-
here strictly to the provision Of its
charter which makes Oct. the last
date on which contracts can be made
with growers for the handling Of
their fruit.
A particularly gratifying feature Of
the meeting was the receipt of let
ter of appreciation from the Potato
Growers Association of Hastings,
which this year marketed the prod
uct of its members through the ex-
change, receiving higher prices for
their crops.

change, was in the chair. g. e.

GOOD PRICES PREVAIL
FOR CITRUS EXCHANGE
Reduction in Selling Charge

A reduction of four cents box III
the selling charge Of the Florida Cit
rus Exchange was agreed upon at
the meeting of the board Of directors
held yesterday afternoon. The lower
retain was felt to be justified in view
Of the considerably larger volume Of
fruit that the exchange will market
this season as compared with last
year, according to the carefully pre-
pared estimates Of the executive Of
ficers based on the reports from the
various sub-exchanges.
In the discussion it was brought out
that the average prices secured for
it's members by the Florida Citrus
Exchange in a typical auction mar
ket last season, were fifty-three cents
box higher than the acverages Of
all the other marketing agencies not
withstanding the fact that to the city
in question some of the latter shipped
considerably larger proportion ol
high grade fruit than does the ev-
change. Other auction markets gen.
orally show favorable results for the
growers affiliated with the exchange
and it Is believed that the average
prices they received in other thar
auction points are just as much high
er, though no official figures are
available except in the places which
have auctions.
The operations of the Growers
Loan and Guaranty Company were
placed upon a much broader scale by
an action taken which will divert tc
its use considerable portion Of the
surplus funds of the Florida Citrus
Exchange. The usefulness Of the
former organization, working In a
limited way, has become so apparent
that the directors of the parent body
felt that it deserved this encourage
ment and extension of scope.

manager, made his first formal ap-

ter, upon receipt Of the application
form and registered stamps, will for
ward a post Office money order to tho
redeeming stamp owner at the post
office of application ten days after
the date of application.
The regulation restraining the re-
demption or registered stamps to the
registering post Office has caused
some inconvenience in the past, and
it is expected that the new regulation
will result in a material extension OF
the use of the registration privilege.
Under this privilege the government
guarantees the stamp owners against
loss by theft, or destruction, and in
sures the payment Of the value of
the stamps only to the bonafide
owner.

Well. boys, it was another great
game with the Caps out in front. The
old times Humphries was on the
mound for Orlando and he had those
Highlanders eating out of his hand.
Only three Highlanders reached
second and both of them got on by
errors and not one being able to hit
a safe one in the outfield.
Wicker who beat out bunt toward
first was the only local man credited
with hit.
Humphries pitched beautiful
game, using his head to a great ad-
vantage, striking out six men and
keeping out Of danger throughout the
game. Too much Humphries, that's
all.
Livingston was on the mound for
Lakeland, and, although he showed
better form than heretofore, was hit
very freely, fast fielding holding the
Caps in check.
The boys certainly backed him up
in fine style and had 1t not been for
some fast fielding something surely
would have happened in the first in
ming.
Glunt, the first man up singled
through second, Stephens beat out
| bunt, Glunt going to second.
Jones also beat out an infield hit
filling the bases but Hunter sent a
hot one to st. Charles who fielded the
ball perfectly, cutting off Glunt at the
plate and Campbell shooting the ball
to first, headed off Hunter.
Ball then grounded to St. Charles
and was an easy out. Ye Gods, that
certainly made us pull out our hand
kerchief and wipe the presperation
from our brow. After this scare,
things settled down to fast game
and for time 1t seemed that it
might take extra innings to decide
the game, but in the eighth inning
| Stevens beat out an infleld hit and
after Jonesha been disposed Of,
Hunter doubled to center, scoring
Stephens, which was the first and
winning run.
That one run looked mighty big for
the way Humphries was going chan
ces were very slim.
1t was great game and we all
will be out tomorrow to see another
one like it. Most likely big boy Ery
will be on the mound for Lakeland
and they will have to go some TO beat
him.
Score by innings:
First Inning
Glunt, first man up, singled through
second; Stephens beat out a bunt that
Livy could not quite reach, Glunt go
ing to second; Jones also beat out an
infield hit, filling the bases; Hunter
drove one to third, st. Charles cutting
down Glunt at the plate and Camp
