Car Of 500 Packages Of Beans Net
Growers over $1,000

Wauchula, April 5.-The first car.
load of cucumbers Of the season left
Wauchula Tuesday and brought the
growers something over $780, The
car contained little more than 600
packages and the price averaged
around $500 a package. The first
solid carload of beans Of the season
left here Wednesday. The car con-
tanned something over 400 packages
and brought the growers over $4,000.
The car Of cukes were bought by
Mr.. A. w. Fitzgerald and Mr.. /. Ros.

& Rosenthal, New York. The car of
beans were bought by Mr. J, T. Bush

Frost & McNab, New York.
Yesterday cukes and beans were
running neck and neck, selling at the
station from $500 to $500 per crate

BROWN AND J 'BR|EN END TRAINING FUR
 10-ROUND GO FRIDAY

Stepping Is fast round with feather weights, lightweights, welterweights and middleweishts as training part ners, Young Brown yesterday complet- ed the heaviest part of his training program for his match with Tommy OBrien before the Phoenix Athletic Club in Arcadia hall Friday evening.
 Brown didn't ask anyone of the boys to pull their blows in his workout yesterday afternoon, either, irrespec- tive of their size or weight. Rather, he requested that they throw them at him with all the steam they possessed. And through it all, he kept blowing in, talk ing 'em on the jaw, in the stomach and on the head, but ever kept blowing.
 The harder they hit, the faster Brown sailed into them. It was mere ly a process of his partners tiring themselves out and then resigning, a new boy taking his place.
 Frankie Monroe, one of the clever est featherweights on the coast, was the first and last boy to oppose Brown. They stepped couple of speedy sessions to start the ball roll ing, Monroe sailing into the Mexican as if he were boxing a main event.
 Battling Stewart was next on the schedule. Stewart is said to pack something that closely resembles the kick of a mule, as per demonstration two weeks ago, but Brown merely shook off the local boys best efforts with nod of the head and kept after his man. The going finally got pretty hot and they brought on another part ner, this time an unknown welter. He showed. pretty good form, but Brown had too much experience and it was only question f time before he also retired.
 Ira O'Neill, local middleweight, was next. O'Neill and Brown put up a corking good exhibition, they being permitted to go only three rounds Monroe then came back for one round completing the afternoon card
 Brown plans only light gymnasium work today and will rest completely tomorrow. He weighed 12S pounds when he stepped on the scales yester day afternoon but will add probably three more pounds before he enters the ring Friday evening
 Tommy O'Brien also went through a hard days work yesterday. His road work was limited to four miles, but ir the afternoon, he went seven rounds with two sparring partners, skipped the ropes another two rounds. shadow boxed a couple of rounds and pulled the puHeys for a round. At the con- clusion of his workout he said T fee fit to go the entire ten rounds at tor speed"
 Younk Turk, his training partner stated that O'Brien was in the best possible shape. We will have no ex- cuses to offer if O'Brien is beaten" de- clared the Turk.
 The ticket sale for the match has been unusually brisk, it is declared, al. though there are still many good seat: to be had

ENGLISH AS WORLD LANGUAGE
Supremacy as One Result Of
the Great War.

All the indications are that the uni.
versal language will be English. The
formal draft of the treaty of Versailles
will be couched in the traditional lam
guage Of diplomacy, the language OF
Foch and Clemenceau, but the discus
sions at Paris and Versailles were in
the tongue which President Wilson and
most Of our peace delegates have best
at their disposal. Perhaps it is no
compliment to us that the European
peacemakers should be in a position
to meet us more than half way in the
matter of foreign tongues, but the fact
Is there.
The French language will prosper
after the war. In more or less perfect
form it will be brought back to Amer
lea, to Australia, to Canada, to South
Africa by soldiers and auxiliary war
workers to the number of many tens
of thousands. But for every Anglo
Saxon whom the war has taught
French it Is safe guess that there are
a hundred mid-Europeans to whom as
a result of the war, emphasizing al
ready existing conditions, the English
tongue will be brought close to home.
Because the new CZecho-Slovakia must
be in intimate touch with million
Czechs and Slovaks in the United
States, because there are several mil
lion Poles in this country, because
every one Of the new nationalities in
central Europe looks in the first place
to these United States, the American
language will be familiar among all
foreign languages to these people. For
that matter, the numerous commits
siOns and ~propagandas Of mid-EurOpe
which have been busy in the United
States will have brought back with
them the use, if not the idiom, of our
nguage.-EXchange

NEVER WAsTEFUL IN SPEECH
One Thing at Least in Which the
American People Are Eeonom-
icaI to Degree.

The country as whole has lost the
hang" of speaking English. Some
people proudly state that America Is
no longer British colony that she Is
creating a language Of her own, and,
to prove their independence they
make a practice of incorporating into
our speech sounds without definite
edges, sounds trailing clouds Of NUT
tered murmurs, sounds of such ele-
mental simplicity that they resemble
grunts, taken over from the speech Of
persons who have come to us from all
notwithstanding countries of the
world. And, in their love of equality
and fraternity, these people refuse to
exceed the speech Of those whose
simple needs are satisfied with a fru-
gal vocabulary; In this way they have
succeeded in cutting down their own
vocabulistic rations to the famine
point. Lavish, generous, wasteful in
other matters, the country has learned
to ecOnOmize in sentence and syllable
till it has reached genuinely demo.
cratic simplicity Of speech.-Henry
Dwight Sedgwick, in Yale Review.

PARSLEY POINTED A MORAL
Youngster Quick to See the Point
Which His Father Was Endeav-

In an Indiana town where crooked
ness in city affairs has been reigning
for years, lucrative position was of.
fered to lawyer. 1t was not because
the salary itself was so large, but the
possibilities the position offered were
many. But still a string was attached
and the lawyer knew it. So he turned
down the job.
His high-school son was provoked be.
cause his father had not accepted. He
grumbled about it in subtle little ways
for several days and then one day his
father came to school after the boy to
accompany him to a friends farm,
Once there he showed the delighted
youngster all over the farm, last visit
ing the pen in which the hogs were be
ing fed for the market.
The boy eyed them a few minutes
and then asked, what is that they're
eating so ravenouSlyT
The farmer answered: "Why, that's
parsley. It's the best hog fattener l
know of. We just turn them into a
patch of parsley and they do the rest
themselves. It's too good picking for
them to resist. When 1 decide that a
pig Is almost ready for the market
Just turn him into the parsley patch,
and soon he's just In the right condi-
ton to go to the slaughtering house"
"It's too bad they don't know what's
coming to them so that they stay away
from the parsley patch" laughed the
boy. I'm sure 1 would If were to
turn hog"
His father merely looked at him for
minute and then he said: "Parsl>y
always has looked like graft to me
very inviting, easy to get, and plenty
Of it while it lasts, and then at the
end inevitably the slaughtering PEN"
