 What is China expecting from Ameri- lea? Mir. Rugh was asked.
 They want our confidence in them, was his answer. They need our financial help for investment purposes, our hep in teaching the Chinese the meaning of cit izenship. and methods of organization And America must give to China the moral power to fight against the graft that is eating the heart of China,

FORTUNES FROM FIGS.
Predicted DR.. Stones Discovery viii
Mean Much to State.

The Fort Myers Tropical News
published the story of a wonderful
discovery made by one of its citizens,
that the fig may be successfully
budt cd into Z vermi1-proof, rapidly
growing shrub, thereby affCrdinE at
once quicker bearing and freedom
from the attack of tie root parasite
which has made fig culture so much
q thing of meIe happening IL Florida
Speaking Of this discovery, the
Tropical News reports DR.. George S.
Stone. the one W o is successfully ex-
pcrimenting with the new fig shrub
as saying that CT the fig trees he is
producing, figs will be grown rival
ling the very finest of the far-famed
6g countries of Pershia, Turkey,
Greece aad Italy" Tnc secret of the
discover lies in the process CT budd-
ing, which is said t. be a new method
for that long used and most interest
ing branch of horticulture.
Until the appearance of the root
attacking parasite, Florida bade fair
to rival the noted fig countries of the
old world in the production Of this
NEST excellent and healthful fruit.
For many years, however, the risk
ana the disappointments attending
the venturing in figs, has he'd such a
demorali2ing effect on the industry
tnat today Florida, of all the South
era states, possibly, has fewer figs in
profitable bearing than any other
state where they may be grown.
As we understand it, Dr. Stone has
net yet produced fruit from his dis
coveIy, and until he does, and the
quality of the fruit is proved to be
the scientific world must
look upon his discovery" with in
terest and without ability to compli-
ment him yet on real accomplish

in scientific circles that he will be
able to show the fruit as well as the |

OFFSETS PROVIDED FOR
Charlotte Harbor Bridge to be Wild
ened Later.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Board of County Commissioners,
Monday, provision was made for the
addition of offsets or turnouts in the
! Charlotte harbor bridge. II will te
! remembered that the necessity and
desirability of having offsets and
! turnOuts constructed so that the
bridge might be used as a pleasure
pier and so that large trucks might
| turn out and pass, was suggested and
urged in the Herald several months
ago.
County Commissioner w. NJ. Whit
ten, who has been confined to his
home for several months up to about
three weeks ago, was present at the
board meeting Monday, and upon his
motion, seconded by Commissioner
Coker, of district three, the engineer
of the Charlotte Harbor Special
Road and Bridge District was in
struCted to have the contractor for
work on the bridge make from 400
to 600 feCS Of the side beams Of the
bridge Of the same strength as the
center beam, so that in the future
the handrail may be removed and
the bridge widcned. The location of
the turnou.s is to be decided by Com
missioners Written and Coker, and
while it is not known positively what
location they have in mind, if any, it
is thought that an equal amount Of
the wide portion of the bridge will
be on either side of the draw
The live stock Inspector reported
10000 cattle had been dipped and
that three vats had been constructed
during the month, making total Of
90 vats now in use in DeSoto county.
The board agreed to pay one-half
the actual cost of sign posting done
in DeSoto county by the Florida
State Automobile Association, which
is spending $4,000 for road posting
this year, payment to be made when
the work is completed.
The next meeting of the board will |
be held Saturday, June 18th.
