ARCADIA'S CELEBRATION
WAS SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR
Crowd Estimated ut 5,OO0-AH Sec
tiOns of County represented
But Few From Here.

Arcadia's fourth of July celebra,
tion was a success, according to local
people who attended, the crowd in
attendance being estimated at be-
tween four and five thousand. Prac-
tically every section of the county
was represented by larger or small
er delegation, tn main crowd, II
seems, coming in from the north.
A comparatively small number wGNt
from Punta Gorda, but Charlotte
Harbor and Cleveland were all rep
resented, it is said.
The program was carried out prac-
tically as arranged, and it was an
interesting one, including all of the
usual fourth Of July features and
some that were unusual.
Preparations had been made for a
crowd of 10000 or more, 2S beeves,
aggregating 1000 pounds in weight,
having been barbecued, and there
was no scarcity of side disnes."
The day was q warm one, but as
ide from this there was nothing to
mar the day, and from the stand
point of attendance, it is said. this
was the biggest event of the kind
ever held in DeSoto county.

COMMITTEE IS TRYING TO
CLEAR Up PARK MIDDLE
Commercial Club Committee Hopes
to Unravel Tangle SO That
Park May Be Beautifed.

Responding to a request from the
waterfrontG and Parks Committee of
the Commercial Club, Dr. George S.
Stone now of Fort Myers, came to
Punta Gorda last Saturday after
noon for the purpose of comforting
with the committee as to the status
of the bayfront park, which has been
in litigation for several years.
As a result of this conference, it is
believed that start has been made
toward the end of clearing up the
muddle in which this property is and
has been.
DR.. Stones presentation of the
facts as he understands them made
the whole proposition seem much
simpler of solution than is popularity
supposed and with the information he
gave them and will be able to fur
nish the committee, they are going to
make a determined effort to clear up
the property so that it may be beau
tilted and become an asset to the
town instead of the liability it is and
has been.
DR.. Stone stated that this park
could be made of incalucuable value
to the town, thing of beauty not
equalled anywhere else in the world
and one that people would come from
afar to behold. He estimated the
present cost of the seawall and dredg
ing at not less than $50,000 and
urged the importa, ce of determined
effort to clear up the muddle in a
manner that would be fair to every
one concerned. He said that as a
starter he was ready to turn back to
the town without cost his interest in
the park and expressed the belief and
hope that nearly everyone else inter
ested would do the same for the good
of all concerned. The doctor said
also that he would furnish free OF
cost many valuable and rare botan-
ical specimens, which he doubted
could be obtained elsewhere without
great trouble and expense, and give
his time in an effort to bautify the
park.
The committee requested him to
furnish them with accurate data con-
corning the park, and when this is
received the committee will begin in
earnest it's effort to clear up the mat
ter.

ROYAL PALMS ATTACKED
BY UNKNOWN DISEASE
Fungus Disease Unknown to EX-
perts Threaten Ft. Myers Palms
Some Here Effected.

According to the Fort Myers Trop-
ical News, an unknown disease has
attacked the royal palms in Fort
Myers and threatens their destruct-
ion. According to those who arc
familiar with such matters, the same
disease has attacked a few of the
royal palms about Punta Gorda.
According to the News, DR.. George
S. Stone states that he has found
practically every young royal palm in
Fort Myers effected, the bud being at
tackled by some fungus disease, and
each frond as it sprung forth new
from the trees was spotted with rust,
and that the fronds slowly died and
dried up. The only trees not affect
ed are the older growth and in isolGt-
ed instances they, too, seem to have
been attacked by the invisible fungus
disease Dr.. Stone states that evident
ly the youger growth being propa-
gated from seed became affected
with disease in the nursery and that
the disease is now just showing up,
and that the older trees were trans
planted from the wild royal palm
hammock growths in the cypress
swamps, of the interior OF Lee coun-

CRISIS IN EDUCATION.
Topic Discussed at Last Meeting of
Citizenship Glass.

A lecture on THE Crisis in Educa-
tion" by William c. Bagley was
read by the class leader and by Mrs.
| Weeks and interestedly commented
on by all at the Tuesday meeting of
the Women's Citizenship Glass. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Bagley, I'VE pay less
attention to the preparation of
teachers tIan does cIy other civil
ized nation"
The cause of ill'teracy among our
native born can be located in the
rural schools. Thee hundred thou3-
and teachers are required for this
service.
"Of this vast army at least one
half are SO young that they could not
qualify as voters-and yet to them
the nation entrusts a responsibility
beside which the privilege of voting
the individual ballot is but a mere
bagatelle, for each of these child
teachers Is a potential factor in de-
termining the votes of frcm ten to
fifty citizens in emt-yo."
One million cIilG-e. are receiving
preparation for American citizenship
from teachers whose education has
been limited to tie first ceven or
eight grades of elone. ,tary school.
A Federal department of education
should be established with "a sec.e-
tary who shall be a member of the
presidents cabinet, to insure proper
consideration of natl nal educational
problems-the mosG important busi-
ness of democracy"
The question of establishing
course in manual training in the
Purta Gorda school was discussed
and will have further consideration
at the next meeting, to be held on
July 18th at $3.50 in the Tourist
Club room, open 10 the public.

Likes Punta GOrda.

In a letter to the Herald, George
N. Parker, of Robinson, Ills, who
with his wife came to Punta Gorda
for the first time last winter and
bought home here, says: I'VE ap-
preciate the Herald very much for II
gives us the news of Punta Gorda.
We are much pleased to note the pro-
gress Punta Gorda is making. Our
colony will be with you again this
winter, with several additions. We
like your climate and people" The
Robinson colony is large one, every
member of which is booster for
Punta Gorda, and the people from no
other town will receive a warmer
welcome than those from Robinson.

Y. w. LEGION EXCURSION
Melted ABOUT $500. 90
Three Hundred Spent Monday at
BoCa Grandc and all Agree
They Had a Big Time.

About 500 Purta GorGans anc
people from neighboring owns and
villages went to Boca Grande Mon
day on the Y. w. c. A.-Ame,icar
Legion excursion-picnic, the gross re-
ceipts amounting to $3.50, of which
about $500 will be net.
Two boats and lighter left about
$3.50 for Boca Grande, and the
crowd made merry until that place
was reached, music for daEcing be-
ing furnished by player-piano from
the Cochran drug store. A plenty
of good eats and soft drinks had been
provided and dinner was caten Just
before arrival at Boca Grande.
Upon arrival there, there was a
grand rush for the bathhouses,
which proved inadequate to accom-
modate the unusually large number
intent upon a dip in the surf. The
afternoon was spent in bathing and
other diversions, the start home be-
ing made about dark. Dancing was
the favorite pastime on the return
trip.
Everybody was tired, but happy,
and all agreed that they had had one
gran and glorious time.

ANOTHER STORY ABOUT
PROGRESS ON The TRAIL
Work on Lee County End of Tam
iami Trail Comes to an End on
Account of Summer Rains.

Last week the Herald published a
story to the effect that it was likely
that the Tamiami trail would be COM
pleted within year, but story pub
lished in last weeks Estero Eagle
adds nothing to the hope that this
may be true. Says the Eagle:
Work on the Lee county end of
the Tamiami Trail (now Fart of the
Old Indian TraiD has come to a
stanGstill and the crew of five work
men have returned to Fort Myers.
In an interview with foreman Huey
recently, he stated that on account OF
excessive rains, troy had come to q
standstill about twenty miles south
east of Marco junction, and nearly
five miles west of the crossing point
of the Deep Lake Hammock railroad.
The character of the country through
which they were king is such as
to be very difficult to negotiate even
in good weather, being open tide
flats through which the salt water
rises and ebbs regul rly. 1t is like
wise very boggy, neCessitatirg the
use of a heavy wooden platform on
Which to work the walking dredge to
keep it from sinking too deep in the
mud.
Add to these tidal conditions the
flooding of this normally wet country
with excessive rainfall, and it will be
seen how utterly hopeless it is to ne
gotiate it during the rainy season.
Ever where working conditions
are possible, this liquid mud, when
dropped from the oipper on the spoil
bank, will not stano up, but spreads
out like thin mortar when dumped
on board. Some four or five miles
farther on, 1t is estimated, better
natural conditions will be reached,
where work will be p,ssible the year
round, but it now looks as though
operations are at standstill for the
summer.
"No one who has Deen on the
ground" said Mr.. Huey, can i'm
agine the difficulties with which we
had to contend, working in mud,
mosquitoes and smudgeG from morn
ing till night, and then, when utterly
worn out having to cook our own
grub" When a breakdown occur
red. it frequently meant shut down
while some one weLt to town, motor
ing back mile after mile over the
heavy grade, many of the gaps in
which were not even bridged, and
often times the car itself broke down
on the trip In fact, the point at
which the work stopped was the most
inaccessible and hardest to negotiate
of any section of the trail yet en-
countered. Several miles farther on,
supplies will be readily accessible
through the Allen river and the
Deep Lake Hammock railroad.
The Eagle is much concerned over
the cessation of work on the trail
and suggests that while it may be
impossible to work on a short stretch
of the trail, this is no reason for
abandoning the work altogether for
the summer, as it would be possible
to continue construction on other
portions of the road.

When subscriptions to stock in the
