Why Polk County
Groves Bring
Such High Prices

That Polk county groves are sell.
ing readily at from $1,000 to $1,000 an
acre is due to combination of three
things, either one of which alone
would probably not be enough to
bring about such a result, but put to-
gether they are irresistible. We re-
fer first to the adaptibility of the soil
and climate, which means compare
tive immunity from frost and 1t was
this factor which first gave this sec.
tion its start; the Florida Citrus
Exchange and the good roads coming
second and third respectiyalv. Polk
county may be said to have been the
cradle Of the Exchange, for here
lived its first president and pricipal
organizer, DR.. Inman, of sainted
memory. and it is, also the home of
President ]. II. Ross, the Grand Old
Van Ct Florida. Polk county ships
albeit one-third of all the fruit that
gces cut under Exchange brands.

c. A. OWENS DItD
LAST NIGHT
Of PNEUMONIA

A death which came as distinct
shock to the many friends of the de-
ceased, occurred at 11:15 last night
when Mr.. c. A. Owens passed away
at his home on Oak stree. after a
weeks illness of influenza. Few Of
Mr.. Owens friends knew of his ILL
ness, as he had been sick but a very
short time. He was taken i'll in Tam
pa last Friday and Immediately came
to his home in this city, where he was
getting along nicely until about noon
yesterday when he developed pneu-
monia, and Immediately his condition
became critical, resulting in his death
last night.
Mr.. Owens was splendid, honor
able, upright citizen, and was highly
esteemed by all who knew him. For a
number Of years he was in the mer-
camille business, later becoming asso-
ciated with Mr.. W. L. Thompson in
the insurance business, and at the
time of his death was a travelling
salesman for the Tampa Hardware
Co. He leaves a devoted wife and
three children to mourn his loss who
have the deepest sympathy Of many
friends in their great sorrow.
The funeral services will be con-
Quoted at the family residence at 8
o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Rev. L.
W. Entzminger, pastor Of the Bar-
fist church, Of which the deceased was
prominent member, in charge. The

A SECOND SURPRISE

The small but active congregation
Of Grace Lutheran church seem to
have the habit of making life pleas
ant for their pastor. About month
ago they descended on the parsonage
for a social evening, armed with an
ample supply Of good things to eat.
On Thursday night of this week they
again surprised their pastor and wife
and subjected them to an d-fash-
Toned pounding. In view Of the high
cost of groceries, the big pile OF good
things heaped on the dining room to.
BILE certainly looked good to Pastor
Bell, but the thoughtfulness and cor
diality Of his people were even more
appreciated.

FORT MYERS GROWERS
ARE PUTTING UP vEGE.
TABLES BY MACHINERY

To secure a better pack, truckers
of Fort Myers are using equipment
similar to that employed in citrus
fruit packing plants, and the expert
ment will be watched with interest.
A standard pack has been preached
in Florida for long time, but as n
rule the vegetable growers have not
gone very far toward that end. A
standard package will mean stable
prices, according to the view of per.
sons who have studied the business
of marketing products, and the move
ment at Fort Myers may be expected
to go long way toward demonstrate
ing the value of machinery packing.

AGAIN REGISTERS WIN
 OVER CONGRESS

Washington, Dec 13---The Repub- Hcan majority of the Senate foreign relations committee has again capitu- lated to President Wilson's constitu- tiona1 power, after induIging in con- siderable bombast as to their rights to initiate diplomatic moves with other nations This was made plain when the committee failed to press the resolution for severance of diplo- Tnaic relations with Mexico, as in tro1uced by Senator Fall of New Mexico. after receiving a pointed let ter on the subject from the President Plainly speaking, the Fall resolution is dead and so is the Republican at tempt to upset the Constitution of the United States and all American his torica1 precedent in this respect
 It was generally admitted that the Fall resolution was only another at tempt to irritate the President, with the hope that his hand might be forced as regards the Mexican government It was an outgrowth of the attempts made--for public effect--by the Re publican majority of the foreign re Iations committee during the League of Nations controversy to assert their prepond erance in treaty making power
 Washington political observers be- 1ieve this admitted defeat of the Re publican majority in its attempt to usurp the Presidential functions as provided by the Constitution, will cause a Hull in the studied attempts to bait President Wilson, no matter whether the ostensfble target is Mex ico or the European situation

FRANCE IS NOT
 FLOODED WITH
 JOBS FOR TANKS

For a month past. the office of the Assistant to the Secretary of War, in charge of soldier re-empIoym ent, has been receiving many letters from eX-service men all over the country, inquiring about reconstruction jobs in France at large wages, In some way or other the report has been spread widely that there are un- limited opportunities of this char acter. which is very far from the truth.
 Lieutenant Colonel Mathew c. Smith, executive head of the Wash ington bureau, says:
 Firms which have reconstruction contracts for France have been cir cularized by this office, and they state that they are not employ1ng g any labor there as yet. The super vtsing heads for such projected re- construction are technical men al ready connected with their office personnel.
 There are very few jobs of any kind for American soldiers in France at this time. and the statement that contractors are now offering good pay to all ex-service men who will sign up is without foundation. The report that the French Government wishes to hire former soldiers from the United States Is also incorrect

BANQUET AND REUNION OF
 56TH REGIMENT

Announcement Is made to all those in Bridgeport and elsewhere who were "buddies' in the 18th Regi- ment, c, A. C., during the recent war that the first annual ! .nqUet and re- union of the 56th, will be in Dan bury at the Hotel Green Thursday evening, Dec. Is, Ernest J. Boughey. 19 Jefferson avenue, Danbury, Is chairman of the committee in charge Of the event and has asked Dr, George GarIick, lieutenant in the seth Medical Corps, to spread the news in Bridgeport and vicinity.
 About 67 per cent. of this famous regiment was composed of Connecti- cut national guardsmen. the balance being made up Of regulars and draftees. Approximately 400 were Bridgeporters, a dozen of whom were in the regimental band. William Murray, the we'll known orchestra leader, was one of them.
 This regiment is officially credited with 105 days at the front, and with the 55th has the distinction of being
 on actual front-line duty for a longer continuous period than any other American artillery unit. Because of this members of this regiment are en- titled to the French Victory Medal which the French government will bestow on all allied troops which spent three months or more at the front
 i It will be a matter of regret that the regiments chief cannot be at hand but Colonel Burgess is on the Pacific Coast at Fort Scott where the Seth regiment with a, new perSOnneD is now stationed. RegimentaI Chaplain Reilly, who was very popular with the
 soldiers, is coming up from Virginia for the occasion. Major E. A Camp bell of New York City will attend. Major Payne of New London will be on hand and Captains Metcalf of Stamford and Mogensen of New Ha- ven have promised to go.
 An organization of the veterans of the 56th will be started at this re- union.
