Growers From Over the State to
Gather at Lakeland.

With characteristic hospitality
the citizens of Lakeland are pre-
pairing to entertain what is ex-
pected to be one of the largest
crowds which ever visited that
city when the big growers meet
ing conveneS there on Saturday,
May 31st.
The occasion is the Tenth An
niversary of the organization OF
the Florida Citrus Exchange, the
great cooperative marketing as
sociation of Florida citrus grow
ers which is today the biggest IN
stitution in the state of Florida.
While the Exchange was organ
lied at a meeting held in Tampa
Bay Casino June l, 1909, It's or
ganization was primarily due TO
the untiring efforts Of DR.. f. W..
Inman, the founder of Florence
Villa and one OF the pioneers
among the scientific citrus fruit
raisers of South Florida. 1t was
in honor of DR.. Inman and the
prominent Polk county men par
ticipating with him that this big
anniversary celebration was given
to Lakeland, it being felt it was
fitting it should be held in Polk
county.
1t was following several bad
seasons, during which some grow
ers sold oranges for as low as 30
cents per box, that forty-fve
prominent Florida growers made
a trip to California to study the
of the cooperative mar
keting agency of the growers
there, which already was in sue
C cessful operation. Returning
they organized the Florida Citrus
Exchange. 1t is noteworthy that
j. w. Semple Of Haines City, who
presided as chairman at the meet
ing at which the Exchange was
organized ten years ago, and who
presided at several preliminary
meetings held by Floridians visit
ing California, will preside at
the meeting in Lakeland, Satur-
pay, May 31st

.123RD To SAIL
FROM HOLLAND
ARTnLKKT TO COME FIRST
Rock Islanders Planning to Go to
Chicago to See Parade Of tho
Division.

Latest reports received from the
boys In the One Hundred Twenty
third heavy field artillery, indicate
that the regiment will sail from
Rotterdam. Holland, some time
soon.
In a letter received today from a
soldier in Battery F of the Rock Is
fand-Moline unit, it was learned
that the division was soon to leave
for Coblenz, Germany, and from
there would go to Holland, as all
the occupation troops were sailing
from Rotterdam, rather than going
back through France and sailing
from Brest- The artillery brigade
may leave thirty days before
the rest of the regiment leaves,
and If 1t does. they will probably be
IN the states the latter part of April
or the first of May. The Thirty
third division is slated as the third
division to leave during the month
of May.
With reports still coming from
the war department that the Thirty
third or Prairie division, composed
of Illinois troops, will sail from
France in the early summer, local
friends and relatives of the boys
who saw some of the hardest fight
ing in the final offensive are getting
behind a movement for a definite
welcome to the returning heroes
when they finally arrive home.
Word from practically every part of
the state indicates that extensive
plans are being made for the home
coming, and there is no doubt that
whatever form the celebration will
take in other cities, Rock Island
admirers of the veterans will not
fall behind in making the day one
to be long remembered in local his
tory.
For the past month or six weeks
there have been reports of a semi
official nature that the Thirty-third
would sail, yet not until the last few
days have these assumed anything
of a positive form. Latest efforts of
newspaper writer's and Illinois Of
dc4als to gain some information
from the war department as to the
exact date of sailing are still I'M
availing. but those in close touch
with headquarters at the capital
state that the Prairie outfit may
embark for home shores between
the middle of May and early part
of June.
Citizens here are familiar with
the efforts that have been made by
the Illinois legislature and Gov
ernor Lowden to obtain permission
from the war department for a pa
rade of the division in Chicago, and
should this be granted, there is no
doubt but that hundreds from this
vicinity would be among those who
greeted the fighters in their final
formation.
Have More Shipping.
Now that the American govern
ment has taken over several addi-
tfonal thousand tons of German
shipping, among which are some of
the largest liners, troop movement
toward the United States is bound
70 be speeded up, and it is for this
reason among others, that Illinois
officials are urging the war depart
ment to announce a definite sailing
date for the Prairie organization,
which is at present in the Army of
Occupation.

DEFENSE BEGINS IN
CHAMBERLAIN CASE
e~ MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,ser

Paris, April 1G.-The prosecution in
in the COurt-martial of Capt. Il. G.
Chamberlain of san Antonio, Tex.
in connection with his reported aerial
exploits on the British front last sum
mer completed the hearing Of its
witnesses today after nineteen days
of sittings.
Commander JOerne, the prosecuting
officer, said he wished to reserve the
right to hear Mai John NJ. Salmond
commander of the royal Irish forces,
after the witnesses for the defense
have been heard but Donald Harper,
attorney for Captain Chamberlain, en-
tered n strong objection, arguing that
the case of the prosecution must be
completed before the defense begins.
The court decided that Salmond must
be heard Immediately.
A letter was read N court today
from Admiral Benson, chief of the
American naval staff referring to a
statement made Monday to the effect
that the admiral had requested that
the trial be expedited.
1t said:
While it is necessar% that the case
be expedited owing to the magnitude
of the notoriety IN which the honor
of an officer and the naval service are
involved, the case has an interna-
tional character and it 5 importan:
not to lose any time during the work
ing hours. The case must be heard
without undue haste. The prosecu
ton and the defense must be per
mitted reasonable time as they see fit

are greatly scattered and in order to
see that full justice IS done
