ALLEGED SINNER CAUGHT.
Accommodating Jersey Cow Helped
Officers to Make Arrest.

Late Saturday afternoon Deputies
Edgar A. Garner and Chester Di-
shong arrested Wesley Butler, col
ored, while he was operating a moon
shine still in full blast in a bay head
about seven miles east of Wauchula.
says the DeSoto County News.
The deputies were assisted by a
Jersey -milch cow in making the cap
ture.
The still was inside Of a small
room formed by vines growing on
the limbs of a tree and dropping
down to the ground. The moon
sinner could get inside the natural
room and see through the vine, but
was absolutely invisible to one on
the outside. The officers crawlcd
about 200 yards through mud and
water in approaching the still. but
could not get close enough to it
without attracting Buffers attention,
as they had to approach the still in
the open. They lay silent for a
while and watched the negro busily
shine" They saw him run off
three gallons and then take it in a
jug to the creek nearby and place it
in the water to cool. He then went
back to make more of the stuff that
fnebriates.
While the deputies were lying on
the ground thinking how they could
capture Butler without probably
having to kill him, tame Jersey
mich cow with large bell tied
around her neck came within few
feet of them and was on her way to
a small body of water to get drink,
which was within few feet of TIE
still. The officers crawled behind
the COW and the noise from her bell
kept Butler from hearing them.
They got within 20 feet of the still
and then waited for Butler to go
back after his three-gallon jug of
shine that he had placed in the water
to cool. When he reached his hand
down in the water for the jug Gar
ner covered him with a rife and
ordered him to halt. Dishong then
covered him with a shotgun and
searched him. A .3S Smith and
Wesson revolver was found in his
hip pocket.
A 30-gallon can with the necessary
coil and six quarts of ready-made
booze were found inside the little
vine-shaded room where the still
was. Butler was all alone in the
isolated spot and no doubt felt per-
fectly secure.
The negro was carried before
Judge Walden and fined $500 for
sitting and 500 for carrying con-
cealed weapons.

Nearly 100000 American farmers

GcIos this summer.
They are transplanting their food
producing energies to Canada, to
the Dominion's profit, and to Uncle

They are going largely because the
ratio between produce prices and
land values across the line seems to
offer opportunity for more of profit

is coming when it won't be cheap.

ed on the same platform with him,
that we join the league. l thereaf-
ter recommended amendments, some
of which were adopted into its final
form.
Had | been in the senate | would
have voted for the league and treaty
as submitted; and 7 advocated its
ratification accordingly. | did not
think and do not now think that any
thing in the league covenant as sent
to the senate would violate the con-
stitution of the United States or
would involve us in wars which it
would not be to the highest interest
of the world and this country to sup
press by universal boycott and, if
need be, by military force.
Il consider that the moral effect of
Article X on predatory nations would
restrain them from war as the dec
laration of the Monroe Doctrine has
done, and that the requirement of
the unanimous consent by the repre-
sentatives of the great powers in
council before league action would
safeguard the United States from any
perversion of the high purpose of the
league. Moreover, l believe that the
issue of the league transcends in its
Importance any domestic issues and
would justify and require one who
believes so to ignore party ties and
secure this great boon for the world
and this country" William H. Taft

STERILIZING SEED BEDS.
Destructive Diseases May be Carried
to Fields from Beds.

1t is a well known fact that some
very destructive diseases enter such
plants as tomatoes, cabbage, egg
plant, pepper, and few others from
the soil Of the seeded. E. F. De-
Busk, formerly Florida county
agent but at present assistant boys
club agent, says it is extremely i'm
portant that the seedbed be thoroly
sterlized before being planted, but
that it should be ready for planting
before being sterilized. Pulverize
the soil to depth of about ten
inches and then level down, leaving
the bed with a smooth surface.
There are several methods of ster-
ilizing, but the most practical and
applicable to the greatest number OF
conditions is by the use of Tornado,
hyde. Use one pint of regular 4C
percent commercial formaldehyde tc
solution TO the seeded with sprink.
Ter, so as to get a uniform distribu.
ton, using the diluted solution at the
rate of one gallon to two square feet
of surface to be steriliZed.
The bed should then be blanketed
with old sacks to prevent too rapid
evaporation of moisture and conse,
quently the liberation of the formal
dehyde gas before it has thoroly pen.
etraced the soil. This treatment
should be given two weeks before
planting the seed. Two days after
treatment remove the covering ant
stir the soil with a potato fork OF
some such implement to allow The
poisonous gas to escape before The
seed are planted.
The cost of sterilizing a scedbed
including material and labor. SHOULD
not be more than one cent per square
foot of bed surface. One pint of for
maldehyde is sufficient for rs square
feet.

ATTENTION, CITRUS GROWERS.
Only Few More Days to Place Your
Fruit Elm Exchange.

The fact that the FLORIDA CIT,
RUS EXCHANGE with all of its
packing houses in the state, will pos.
itively close the doors and refuse tc
receive ANY MORE MEMBERS
AFTER OCTOBER 1st, is a matter
worth the solemn thought and con.
sideration of each citrus grower who
has not either sold his fruit or placed
it in the hands of the Exchange.
1t is a we'll known fact proven last
year, that fruit buyers are waiting
until October LIST passes and they
will then have out of their way their
greatest competitor in the fruit bust
ness, which is the EXCHANGE
When you can not come to the Ex-
change, the buyer can offer you HIS
PRICE and you cannot help your
self, you must either take what he
offers, handle your fruit yourself OF
let it rot on the trees.
With the few days remaining why
not come to the nearest house or to
the office in Arcadia and place your
fruit in the hands of the FLORIDA
CITRUS EXCHANGE and get all that
your fruit is worth and save the pro-
fits of the middleman, THE BUYER ?
There are other reasons for COM
ing to the Exchange. You can buy
your fertilizers, plows and any mater
ial for developing your grove
through the Supply Company and
thus you become in this way not only
a WHOLESALE SELLER BUT \
WHOLESALE BUYER.
REMEMBER AFTER OCTOBER
1st NO ONE THEN NOT IN THE
EXCHANGE WILL BE ACCEPTED
WHAT ARE MOU GOING TO DO?
ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS TO DE-
eide. SAVE YOURSELVES AND
YOUR FRUIT PROFITS.-adv.

Here is the formula: Catch and keep

Sophs Win.
The Observation-Disclosures battle was
!, somewhat of a surprise as the sophs
were expected to literally run away
with the score. However, the fresh
men held them down to no score until
the last few minutes of the last quar-
ter when the second ear men scored
d touchdown. The freshmen played an
exceptionally n game considering
the fact that a number of their best
men were unable to play. Their line
was a stonewall to~the 'soph" plung-
es but they were unable to keep their
opponents from making continued
gains on end runs. The play was nip
and tuck throughout the contest, and
it looked as though it would end in a
tie. However, in the last few minutes
of the last quarter the "sophs'' got the
; bah on the '.frosh' 5-yard line and
managed to break through for q
