ON SATURDAY


All indications point to record
breaking meeting on Saturday when
the citrus growers of the state will
meet to celebrate the tenth anniver-
sary of the Citrus Exchange, The
local committee have about perfected
their arrangements for the care and
! entertainment of the visitors. The
program, which has been published
several times and will appear again
on Friday will be most interesting
one.
Mrs. Staten is preparing monster
lunch of the most appealing and APP
petizing kind and the price of same
has been reduced to fifty cents while
the menu has been increased to in

OF the meeting the Barlow Courier
Informant says:
Next Saturday the Florida Citrus
Exchange will celebrate its tenth an
niversary in big rally to be held in

1T is history that Dr. F.. W. In.
man, the founder of Florence Villa,
was the man primarily responsible
for the getting together of Florida
growers and the organization Of the
big growers cooperative marketing
organization which we know as the
Florida Citrus Exchange Associated
with him We're number of other
prominent Polk county men OF that
time, as well as growers from other
sections. Among the Polk county
originators Of the Exchange was J
W. Sample, of Haines City, who pre-
sided at many of the meetings the
Florida delegation held while in Cali
fornia studying the Pacific Coas;
methods, and who presided at the
meeting at which the Florida Citrus
Exchange finally was organized. 1t
is peculiarly fitting that Mr.. Sample
will preside as chairman in Lakeland
next Saturday.
This meeting, is to be y held in
Lakeland as a compliment to Polk
county for it's hearty participation in
the organization. and loyal support
since, OF the Florida Citrus Exchange.
II is hardly necessary to say that
very nearly every Polk county grow

hand, and be there early. The folks
of Lakeland are anxious to do their
part, and the Lakeland Elks Club has
thrown open q, portion of IT'S hand

ut is a notable thing that those
sections Of citrus Florida which ara
most prosperous Rand progressive are,
the sections In which the Florida Cit

and large prosperity is in good part
due to the vast sums of money
brought into this county by citrus

4 New industry

A. l.. ellison, proprietor of the
Penns Grove Planning Mill. on Oak ST.,
has purchased the big boxing arena
on East Main Street from j. X. Duffy
and will convert it into an industrial
plant. The purchase includes about
one acre of land. The consideration
was $500, which is considerably less
than the cost of the big structure.
1t is Mr.. Gillison's purpose to start
a basket factory as the principal in
dustrv. Farmers baskets, crates and
hampers of every kind will be manu-
featured. This will require consider
able machinery and it will be some
time before it is assembled.
Salem County farmers now get
their baskets, hampers, etc, from Del
aware and other places. Some idea Of
the business may be gained from the
fact that the farmers and truckers Of
the County use about 100000 baskets
and crates every year. No doubt they
will be glad to have a home market n
which to purchase them.
As there are about 10000 feet Of
floor surface in the building 1t Is pro
posed to divide it up for other kinds
of business. Space will be set apart
for a machine shop which is badly
needed. Some one with small capital
could start this business and with the
support it should receive Would be
practically certain Of success.
M. Gillison Will use another section
sor a sawmilI where the farmers and
others can have their logs sawed into
lumber, frewood, etc. This also is
needed. Space would still be left for
..,a.l manufacturing concerns,
These are as important to a commun-
+ IS 'a~rcr ones and when establish
ed should be encouraged and support
ed. Towns are built up in this way.
If YOU make the most of what you
have enterprises r. sure to come.
Work from the inside out, instead of
from outside in.
Much of this, aside from the basket
plant and sawmill, is tentative, but it
suggests in a general way what can
and may be done when things get I'M
der way.
Water and gas mains should be eX-
tended along the street to the Borough
- h-f7re the new road is laid and
this will probably stimulate building in
that section.
Mr.. Gillison is to be commended for
his enterprise and should be encourag-
ed in every way.

Peace Treaty Signed
Germans Put Signature to Document
Saturday, June 18th
PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE

The following is President Wilson's address to the American people on
the signing of the peace treaty:
My Fellow Countrymen: The treaty of peace has been signed. f is
ratified and acted upon in full and sincere execution of its terms it will fur
nh the charter for a new order of affairs in the world.
1t is a severe treaty in the duties and penalties it imposes upon Germany,
but it is severe only because great wrongs done by Germany are to be rghted;
it imposes nothing that Germany cannot do; and she can regain her rightfuI
standing in the world by the prompt and honorable fufllment of its terms.
And it is much more thn a treaty Of peace with Germany. 1t liberated
great peoples who have never before been able to find the way of liberty. 1t
ends, once for all a old and mtoeabe order under which small groups OF
selfish men could Use the peoples of great empires K serve their ambition for
power and dominion.
1t associates the free governments of the world in g permanent league
in which they are pledged to use united power to maintain peace by main
tanning right and justice. 1t makes International law a reality supported by
imperative sanctions.
1t does away with the right Of conquest and rejects The policy of annex
alton and substitutes a neW order under which backward nadcns-popua-
tons which have net yet com TO political consciousness and peoples who are
ready for independence, but not yet quite prepared to dispense with pCtec-
ton and guidance-shaH no more be subjected to the dominion and eXplota-
ton of a stronger nation, but slaIl he put under the friendly direction and
afforded the helpful assistance Of governments which undertake to be re
sponsibe to the opinion cf mankind in the direction of the league of nations.
1t recognizes the inaienabe rights of nationality; the rights of minor
tiles, and the sanciy CT religious belief and practice. Z 4ays the basis for
conventions which shall free the commercial intercourse of the world from
unjust and veXaious restrictions and for every sor5 Of international CO.
operation that viii serve to cleanse the life Of the world and facilitate its
common action in tcnefcnt service OF every kind.
1t furnishes guarantees such as we're never given II wen contemplated
for tie fair treatment OF al who labor at the daily tasks of the world.
It's for this reason that have spoken OF it as a great charter for a new
order o. affairs. Here Is ground work here for deep satisfaction, universal
reinsurance and confident hope.

Safety Gates in Operation

The safety gates on Main Street at
the Railroad crossing were put in OPP
Grafton on Saturday, and the drivers
of autos and other vehicles will find
it much safer driving at that point
hereafter. The gates are operated
by the man in the switch tower by ell
ectrical power. There is some COM
plant at the delay in raising the gates,
but ii is hardly justified. Heretofore
vehicles and pedestrians crossed the
tracks just as soon as the train passed.
Now if it is switching onto another
track and returns the gates remain
down while this is being done. 1t
could hardly be expected that the gates
would be raised and lowered during
these short periods. Besides the gates
were erected to make travel al that
point safe, and this is accomplished
by the manner in which they are OPP
Grated.
