More Truth Than Poetry
By James ]. Montague
MAYBE THE MANAGER WAS RIGHT.

MA BE- liz MANAOEK WAS HNG
When Shakespeare wrote his earliest play,
The manager he tock it to.
Looked through the script, and grunted:
This kind of stuff will never do
You gotta jazz il up a lot
Clip out some gags and stick EN- in;
Get good. live drama in the plot
An maybe you can make it win.
You haven't got half girls enough;
If you'd shove in a bathin' beach
An make the talk little rough
Perhaps the thing might be screech.
But with the line of talk you've wrote
III say 1t hasn't got a chance.
Your reputation as a pote
Amt goin to get you no advance"
Though William was disquieted.
He kept at work. and saved his pelf
Until he had a stake ahead.
And put his drama on himself.
And though this offspring of his pen
Did not exactly ring the bell.
Ii drew fair houses now and then
And-as plays go-did pretty well.
His next plays made bigger hit
The crowd. at wo-and six throw
Would fill the house from dome to pit
Whenever he produced a show.
He sneered at the advice-did Bill,
The managerial autocrat
Had given him on plays-but still
he jazzed them up bit, at that.

Again Discussed and Further
Action Taken.
THE SAME OLD ENTHUSIASM
Manifested at Saturday Nights

County division and further
steps towards organizing for ac-
complishing same brought about
a meeting Of voters of this and
neighboring communities inter

hail of the Masonic building Sat
urday night.
The Same enthusiasm as hereto
fore was manifested on this occas-
ion and the bringing together of
all contending sections for a har-
mcnious and concerted fight seems
accomplished, and it gives assur-
ance of success at the polls in the
primary of next year.
Colonel Hancock, Senator Coop
er, Capt. wv, H, johnson, Col. j.
NJ. Weeks. and others spoke en-
Enthusiastically on the subject, ex-
planning that the creation of four
new counties is to be contended
for, the whole plan of division to
be incorporated into one bill and
put through the legislature in its
entirety, Good legal opinion has
been secured to the effect that
this can be constitutionally done.
A committee charged with car
rying on the campaign and having
full powers to select and work for
the nomination of a senator and
Representative pledged to carry
out the division plan, will be COM
posed of two members from each
of the proposed new counties
Moore Haven will have two men,
bers, Sebring two, Wauchula two
and Punta Gorda two; other in
terested communities will cooper
ate with these main points and
have voice in selecting said men,
bers. .
Capt. w. II. johnson and Capt.
K. g. Blount were elected to rep
resent Punta Gorda, and Senat Or
Cooper and Colonel Hancock were
selected as alternates.
After further discussions on
pertinent topics, the meeting ad-
journed subject to further call
when exigencies demand.

Big Egg Story.

That six dozen eggs were layed
by hens not yet six months old is
hard to believe. Yet these eggs
were sold in Arcadia Tuesday.
These are English Baron strain
hens and the property of E.
Prouty, on Olive Place, Joshua
Greek, who vouches for the truth
of this story. He says he is con-
ducting a regular, honest t-to-good-
ness chicken ranch and among his
poultry are some of the Rancocas
strain, selected from the Million
Egg Farm, of New Jersey. Mr..
Prouty also owns a big citrus
grove.-Arcadia News.

The TENTH ANNUAL
CITRUS SEMINAR
Intended For Benefit Of the Fruit
Growers.
rs OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Systematic Control of Insects and
Diseases to be Stressed-A Spec
all Day Set Apart and Experts
to Speak.

The tenth annual meeting of the
Citrus Seminar at the College of
Agriculture, Gainesville, is to be
conducted under the auspices of
the Extension Division, and prom
ises to exceed in attendance and in
terest any of the meeting yet held,
Many speakers of state and nat
ional prominence will be present
and take part in the program.
Among these are G. l.. Marlatt
of the U. S. Bureau of Entomol-
ogy and the Federal Horticultural
Board; l.. G. Corbett, Promologist
to the United States Department
of Agriculture; o. F. Burger of
Market Inspection Service of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture, and l.. A. Niven, a well
known author and correspondent
on agricultural subjects.
Among the many topics that
will be discussed is that of the De-
cay of Citrus Fruit in Transit.
During the past year thousands of
dollars were lost by the growers
from the decay Of fruit on tn way
20 market. A thoro discussion Of
the factors that cause these condi-
tons will be made at the Seminar,
and methods oe pr eventicn point
ed out. 1t will be decidedly to the
advantage of every grcwer to
hear and take part II this confer
ence.
ST. ,ematic mtthcds of contrnl
of citrus insects and diseases will
be the subject of another confer
cnce that is schedul, Haphaz-
arJ methods II control arc now
IS, l2te. 1t is recognized by all
that the grove troubles can be
controlled only by systematic eff
fort. A number of systems are
now being tried out in different
groves. These will come up for
discussion at the conference.
On the last day Of the Seminar
October 17th-the program will
be given over entirely to a dis
cussion of the different citrus dis.
eases and pests from the stand
point of their Identification and
methods of control. This part Of
the program is intended primarily
for those growers who wish to
learn to identify the different
troubles that attack their trees
and to get elementary information
regarding their control. At least
one man from every grove in Flor
ida should hear this part of the
program. Instruction will also
be given by factory experts in the
prevention of spraying machinery
troubles. This program should
be particularly attractive to the
busy man on the grove, who can
not be away from home during
longer period to take advantage
of the courses ON these subjects
that are offered in the University.

Helping in Kentucky to Put
Punta Gorda on the Map.

Col. j. l.. Gribble of Louis
vile, sends The Herald a
photograph of the second
large lighted display, which
he had erected at his own ex-
pense on one of the chief
streets of his home city.
Like the first large display
that he had put up, this
shows the city wharf lined
with people enjoying hook
and line fishing, for which
this place is famous. 1t also
shows a duck-sho5 ting scene
this in one corner -and in the
opposite corner is a glimpse
of tropical growth. The
wording that is featured is
practically the same as that
on the first one, viz:
"Visit Punta Gorda, Fla,
THE Tourists Tropical City,
the best tourist town in
Florida; good accommodate
ing people, fine hunting and
fishing, boating and bath
ing"
Colonel Gribble is certainly
helping in Kentucky to pat
Punta Gorda on the map, and
all 'Punta Gordans will appre-
ciate his efforts.

The crop Of sugar cane in Flor
ida this year will reach nearly 49,
900 acres and old timers say they
have never seen such fine cane.
About one-fourth Of the crop will
be made into syrup and the rest
will be saved for seed for the pro-
pagation of crop sufficiently
large to support several big sugar
mills next year.-Times- Union.

The state board of health,
through its newly appointed
health officer, Major Ralph N.
Green, is sending out appeals to
every county that every death
be promptly reported to the state
board. If 80 per cent. of the
deaths for 1918 have been report
ed, Florida will be the thirty-sec-
ond state to enter the registration
area of the government. The
death rate standardized will be a
great aid to the health board in it's
work for the public welfare

FLORIDA TO SUPPLY
SUGAR SHORTAGE
Mills Being Put in at Several
Points.
WILL EXPAND PRODUCTION
Sufficiently to Meet the Demand
in This Country and Leave
Cuban Product for Rest Of the
World.

Advices from Kisslmmee say
that the stores of that city have
been without sugar for week or
more. A shortage of sugar is re-
ported from several other COM
munities and it has been predicted
by close students of the sugar sit
uation that there will be world
shortage if production is not ex-
panded in the very near future.
Well, the production will be ex-
panded and the expansion will
come largely in Florida, which is
making preparations to get into
the sugar manufacturing business
on a big scale and with ample
capital to develop an industry
that will produce all the sugar
consumed in this country and
leave the Cuban sugar free to sup
ply those countries that are not so
fortunate as to be able to produce
any of the sweetness so necessary
to our life.
AS a preliminary to the devel-
opment of the sugar industry, the
agitation has greatly augmented
the growing of sugar cane in Flor
ida and has brought about the
establishment of several large
steam cane factories at different
points, which will further encour-
age the growing of sugar cane and
the expansion of the fields which
will supply the seed cane for the
development of the big sugar
centrals. The latest announce
ment in this connection comes
from Moore Haven. "Unc1e
Billy" Stevens has a four column
head in the last issue of the Moore
Haven Times, announcing the new
syrup company that is to open
there with an immense mill. The
company is headed by Judge
Gramling Of Miami, who owns $40
acres of land near Moore Haven,
where the new syrup mill will be
installed and OH which there are
now growing 125 acres of fine
cane, which will be ready for
grinding when the mill is complet-
ed in December.
McVay Lindsay has his syrup
mill at Vero ready for operation,
w. j. Corners will be ready with
his mill in Palm Beach county
this winter, the Stevens mill at
Jacksonville is nearing completion
and it is understood a large syrup
mill will be installed at Fort
Myers this winter. With the mills
near Mariana and Tallahassee
and several smaller mills going in
the state, it is estimated that over
half a million gallons Of pure
Florida cane syrup will be manu-
featured this year by these large
mills, exclusive of what is made
by hundreds of small home mills
that are operated by mule or gas
oline engines in all parts Of the
state.
From all this it is apparent that
the growing of sugar cane is going
to develope into one of the great
industries of Florida and will take
it's place with the citrus fruit crop,
live stock and general farming,
the phosphate industry, naval
stores, lumber and fishing. 1t
will also Sweeten the bank depos-
its and add another dynamo of
energy to the general develop
ment Of the state.-Times- Union.

Mrs Burns Letter.

Here is a letter that is certain to
prove of interest to people in this vi
cinity, as cases of this sort occur in
almost every neighborhood, and people
should know what to do in like cir
cumstances::

81 used a bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy about
nine years ago and it cured me of
fux (dysentery). l had another at
tack of the same complaint some three
or four years ago and a few doses of
this remedy cured me. l have recon-
mended Chamberlain's Collie and Diar-
rhoea Remedy to dozens of people

me up with gas and l was constantly
belehing up sour, undigested food that

headed that would almost fall down,
and | would get so nervous that it
was almost impossible for me to rest
