WAR TANK HERE SATURDAY
The Huge thanksgiving Machine
Was Viewed by Many People

The big war tank has came and
gone. 1t was an Anne rican-made
machine and never saw overseas
service, despite pre-arrival state
ments that it had been in some oil
the hardest battles in France.
1t came in Saturday in charge
of Sergeant III. G. Dickinson, of
Mulberry, who saw overseas SER
vice, and Corporal +. j. Elliott,
of Detroit, Mich, who has never
been "over there -
The tank was the observed of
many observers and some inform
ed us that the old machine had
seen hard service, as it was full of
holes made by steel jacket shells.
1t is said that the holes are the
result Of tests made with high
powered rifles, as the machine
was made in this country too late
to participate in the battles of the
Worlds War.
The feet of airplanes which
were to be here did not arrive on
accent of the morning being very
foggy, although two machines
flew overhead.
The advertised hydroplanes
were CONSPICUOUS by their absence.
The tank was taken to the base
ball grounds and the crowd was
addressed by Col. Charles A.
Waltmire and Sen. James McKin-
ney. The speakers were intro
duced by Sen. F M. Cooper.
The men in charge of the tank
answered many questions asked
them in regard to the tank in an
accommodating and intelligent
manner.
The tank was taken away at II,
noon, to Wauchula.
The Punta Gorda district s
quota for the Victory Loan drive
is $4,000. The probabilities are
that Punta Gorda will do her part
in this drive, and more, as she
has ever done, although no men

books here.

in the balance after the drive is
over, she win not be found want

Mrs. Brodie's Home Burned

| The dwelling of Mrs. j. Il
Brodie in the eastern part of town
was destroyed by fire just before
noon, Monday. 1t was located
opposite j. T. Roses residence
and was known to many as the
Washington place. 1t was a
large two-story building, the
value of which cannot be accur-
ately determined, but it seems
safe to say that it cannot be re-
placed for less than 100000.
Much of the furniture was
burned; in fact, all that was in
the upper story was lost and only
a part of that ON the lower floor
was saved. The total loss, there
fore, may be put at $2,500.00, on
which there was no insurance.
The entire upper story was
afame when the fire was discover
ed and the alarm given. The
disaster is attributed to a defect
in terra Gotta fluc into which
the kitchen stove discharged its
smoke. Neighbors did all that
they coul% to save the furniture.
The lossMs a heavy one for Mrs.
Brodie, for whom general and
sincere sympathy is felt.

BAY ALIVE WITH TARPoN
Extraordinary Feat Sunday of
j. T. Swinney

The bay in front of town was
alive with tarpon, Sunday. The
water was clear and the beautiful
big fish were easy to see as they
swan around.
The spectacle aroused the sport.
ing blood of j. I. Swinney, who
immediately after dinner, secur,
ed a regulation tarpon outfit OF
tackle, engaging the help of Joe
Washington and Harold Ragland,
and went out in one of the small
boats that are equipped for tar
pom fishing. 1t was not many
minutes after casting his line be-
fore ne got strike, but the first
strike was faux pas, as our re-
turning soldiers call it. But,
about | 80 p. M, he got genuine
strike and had the pleasure Of see
ing and feeling his line whiz
through the reel.
1t was Mr.. Swinney's first cx-
perience with the prince of game
fishes, but he kept his nerve and
held on to his end" Of the line
and played the fish like a veteran.
The tarpon fought desperately
making the usual three leaps high
in the air, during which the sun
light reflected from its sides made
it look like a great blaze of silver
hurled out of the water by some
unseen force beneath.
The fight lasted less than
twenty minutes, which was a re-
markable feature Of this contest,
for it usually requires three
quarters of an hour to conquer a
tarpon the size and weight Of this
one. After the third leap, it sur
rendered, was drawn alongside OF
the boat, grained and hauled a.
board. 1t was then brought to
the Seminole Hotel and weighed,
and it tipped the scales at IS
pounds. 1t lay on the sidewalk
until sunset and was seen and
admired by many pepole.

EVERYTHING LOOKS
GOOD over STATE,
SAYS CROP EXPERT
Samuel T. Fleming, Field Agent
of Bureau Crop Estimate
Enthusiastic Over the Future
of the State.


Samuel T. Flemming Of Gaines
vile, Fla, field agent of the U. S.
Bureau of Crous Estimates, was
caller yesterday at the office of
the State Marketing Bureau,
Everything looks good over the
state" he said, "crops are a little
late, perhaps, owing to the rains
and cool weather. The last
couple of weeks, however. have
wrought mighty change and
vegetation is springing forward
by leaps and bounds. The chief
labor scarcity is in the trucking
sections.
u was never more impressed
than now with the fact that there
is great future to Florida in the
growing of live stock. This is a
natural wild bird and animal
country. We can raise domestic
poultry and animals comparing
with the best on any part of the
earth. Cattle and hogs of high
grades are now to be found in
many counties Of the state. My
business is to observe the condit-
ion of field crops, but one cannot
help to note what our farmers are
doing in building up a live stoc,,,
industry.
ut costs practically just as
much = support scrubs and
boarders as it does cattle and hogs
with money making meat on their
bones, and loafer hens Of the few
dozen egg class az it does the 200
egg kind. The next decade vii
show a remarkable change in con
ditions in Florida, it will then be
well up in leadership in the South.
"Not only will there be pro-
gress in this respect but our field,
garden and grove products will
be better standardized, each local
ity adapted to particular crops
will produce them in such quanti-
ties that buyers will come and
more stuff will go in carlots in
stead of mixed shipments of diff
ferent things.
Stanford. Hastings and Plant |
City are examples of doing things
right and on a large scale. When
there are a hundred or more such
localities in Florida engaged in
producing uniform crops and
grading them, big money will

Realty Prosperity Shown
In Profit Awards

Business aggregating s33 ,968, ,531 was
transacted last year by the Charles
+. Noyes Company. Every one Of the
fifty employees shared in the profits
with Charles F. Noyes as his eighth
annual cooperative division of profits
was made a few days ago. All were
remembered, from the Office boy right
up through the organization. This
business was one OF the first in the
real estate field to be placed on
strictly cooperative basis, and the rapid
and increasing growth of the organ
zaton is attributed to the spirit of CO.
operation that prevails in every de-
partment.
Warner & McGrath, public account
ants, certified that the gross business
for 1919 was 316 per cent of that in
1914 and 1877 per cent of the preceding
year; its agency business was 100 rer
cent of that of five years ago and lit
per cent of that of 1918; renting de
partment, 800 per cent of 1914, and 1873
per cent of 1918; selling department,
100 per cent of 1914 and 140 per cent
of 1918, and the mortgage department
showed the greatest gain OF all, the
business for 1919 being ten times
greater than that Of 1918 and $40 per
cent Of 1914. The fiscal year of the
company ended April 80.
The Noyes Company business is now
showing a greater volume than ever be-
fore, and it is stated that every de-
partment is to be augmented and

running at full or partial capacity.
During the past year they have not
been running over 40 per cent capacity
on the average, with a correspondingly
high overhead cost per barrel of ceni-
ent. The statement has been made
that the mills showed a better return
in the pre-war period at So cents per
barrel than they now do at current
seems to be little likelihood Of q re-
duction in price until the mills have
been operating for some time at .
higher percentage of capacity.
Sand and gravel are dependent upon
the cost of common labor and the cost
of transportation. Both Of these items
have more than doubled since 1918.
The sand and gravel plants during
1918 did practically nothing outside of
government work, with consequent
heavy overhead expenses, SO that it is
doubtful whether any material reduc-
tion can be expected in the sand price.
The amount of gravel produced in New
York vicinity is relatively small, and
follows the price of broken stone.
Lumber is another material de-
pendent upon the cost and scarcity of
the labor to cut the timber and upon
the transportation rates. The lumber
price in the South is practically double
the pre-war figures. The common la
Dor in the forests costs over twice
the pre-war rate and is becoming very
scarce. The lumber is being cut fur
ther away from the railroads, making
it more difficult to ship. Freight
rates have been increased 20 per cent
1t is true that the yards have been
adding q larger charge to the whole
sale price for handling, storing and
delivering, much Of which can be saved
now, as freights from Southern points
are arriving promptly. All expect q
large demand for housing lumber this
season, and when it develops many
predict sharp advance in mill prices.
Certain items, such as finished flooring,
is already getting scarce and has ad-
vanced in price.
Steel has increased III price more
proportionately than any of the other
products. Producers claim that any
reduction below present levels will
force many mills to suspend opera
tions. Wages have been advanced to
rates, and labor is becoming scarce
Fuel and limestone for fuxing are ut
least double former costs. The de-
termined effort of the railroad ad-
mnistration to force down steel rail
prices has not met with success, and
the passing of the extra dividend on
the common stock of the Steel Corpora
tion would apparently show that it
does not expect to make the profits at
present prices that were made in 1918.
Many of the other items used in con-
crete construction are dependent on
the steel and metal prices, so that
they will also stay up. y
Brick is generally not an important
item in concrete construction. The
cost of manufacture has been greatly
increased by labor and transportation
costs, and no material reduction can
be seen at present.
Thus a reason for the advance can
be seen in almost every item when
studied.

metropolitan Life Insurance Company
backs Jackson Heights A Apartment Builders

Edward A. MacDougall, preside OF
the greensboro Corporation, owner and
developer of the jackson Heights apart
ment house section, has announced
having obtained building and perma-
nent loan of S500000 from the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company for
the construction of an additional block
of garden apartment houses" similar
to those already erected at Jackson
Heights. This is the second large loan
obtained within the last two weeks by
the corporation for building operations
at Jackson Heights.
The first loan, which was approx
mately $500,000, was made by the Title
Guarantee and Trust Company for the
construction OF sixteen four-story
semi detached apartment houses, to
contain 144 suites of four, five and six
rooms each, at total cost of about
100000, including the value of the
land, in the block bounded by Twenty
seventh and Twenty eighth streets,
Roosevelt and Polk avenues.
The loan made by the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company is for the con-
structon of eleven fve-story build
ings, to contain 185 suites Of three,
fo ur, five and six rooms each, at a
total cost of s1,ooo,uoO including The
value of the land, in the block bounded
by Twenty-hrst and Twenty
streets, Poll and Fillmore avenues. In
this operation, the interior garden will
be 445 feet in length. Some of the
houses will be ready for occupancy in
the autumn.
These loans, coming from two of the
largest lending institutions have given
substantial support to the jackson
Heights, Queens, apartment building
movement.
Of equal interest is their acceptance
of Mr.. MacDougall's frequently reit-
good time to build as will be the
early future; and of his>recent decla-
ration that, in his opinion and that of
his associates. formed after careful
Investigation of the building material,
