S5,76O SUBSCRIBED
FOR GOLF COURSE:
drive JUST STARTED
Many Large Subscriptions That Are
Sure to Come Not Included in
Above Amount.

Plans for the Punta Gorda Golf
and Country Club are progressing in
a more than satisfactory way, the in
terest and enthusiasm for the propo-
sition having gIown remarkably dur
ing the past week. To date 10000
have been subscribed and it seems
that it will not be a hard matter to
get the remaining $4,000. which
must be subscribed before actual
work is started on the course.
The committee has held meetings
almost nightly for the past week, and
at meeting Monday night plans
were made for campaign to secure
subscriptions to stock in the propos-
ed country club. f. w. Rountree
was appointed as chairman of the
committee and a thorough
canvass of the town will be made to
secure subscriptions, it being hoped
that practically every man and wo-
man in the town may take from $10I
to 81 900 stock.
, Jack Wilson, a professional who
has laid out many Of the best cours-
es in the country, has been engaged
to lay out the course, and as he is
largely interested in the town it is
certain that he will make the course
the best that he has ever construct
ed.
Following is a list of subscribers
TO stock in the proposed country club
up to noon yesterday The result
Of each days canvass will be shown |
On the screen at the Plaza each night
Until the campaigns end and the
lames of all subscribers and the
amount subscribed by each will be
printed in the Herald from week to
week:

IMPOSSIBLE TO GET PRINT PAPER; SUBSCRIBERS
MUST PAY IN ADVANCE IF THEY GET HERALD

While for months past news
papers, big and little, all over
the United States have been
telling their readers in mourn
full phrases of the paper short
age, the Herald has had little
to say and for this reason our
readers may not realize fully
the really serious situation con-
fronting the newspapers and
printers. The shortage of
paper directly effects the rela-
tions between ourselves and
our customers and the situa-
tion has now reached the
point where, in justice to our
selves, we feel that we must
devote some space to an effort
to enlighten our readers and
customers as to the conditions
prevailing in the paper market.
The Herald was fortunate in
being able to secure several
months supply of newsprint
in November, 1919, and a part
of this stock remains unused.
When this is gone we haven't
the slightest idea where the
next is TO come from, for it has
been absolutely impossible for
us to buy even one ream from
any of more than half a dozen
of the largest wholesale paper
dealers of the United States.
The answer to inquiries from
all is practically the same:
mo paper of any size in stock"
There is just ray of hope in
the reply of one wholesaler.

have a limited supply and be
able to make shipment some
time in July. July! We
hope that we may be able to
make our present supply last
until that time, but If we do it
will be by economizing in every
way possible. If we cannot
make il last it may be that
there will be no Punta Gorda

to suspend we will have lots of

a structure as would be best suited
to the needs and conditions here.
His figures. although placed above
rather than at or below actual pres
ent day costs, were such as to con-
vince any thoughtful person that the
bridge is not something of which
merely to dream, but a project that
can be realized. The cost complete,
including the proposed park in the
river that would be thrown up by the
dredging operations necessary in the
construction of the bridge fills, he
said, would be only slightly more
than $4,000. surprisingly low fig
ure. 1t was thought by many that
the cost would run to about $400,-
600.

TRUCKERS HEAVY LOSERS
Heavy Rain of Monday, the 18th
Did Much Damage Here.

Punta Gorda truckers, in common
with those of other sections in this
region, are heavy losers as a result
of the downpour of rain that visited
this section Monday, April 18th,
which was followed by a lighter rain
a few days later
Extent of the damage done could
not be ascertained until the latter
part of last week, when it became
evident that many fields, especially
those in the lower lands, had suffer-
ed heavily. 1t seems that after the
water had soaked into the ground
and the sun came out in full force,
steam was generated and this served
to wilt vegetation.
While there was no hail in Punta
Gorda, in sections removed from the
town but short distance, tomatoes
were stripped OF their leaves anti
fruit and other crops badly damaged.
1t is impossible to estimate the
damage, but those who have made a
fairly thorough survey of conditions
say that the rain did far more dam
age than any recent colds.

CANDIDATE FOR HOUSE
is TO Be NOMINATED
Leaders OF Division Movement from
all Over County Here Today
Public Meeting Tonight.

An important meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the county div
tsion organization will be held in
Punta Gorda this afternoon, which
will be followed by a public meeting
and speaking tonight in the CONNER
cial Club rooms, when prominent
leaders in the division movement are
expected to make addresses.
The committee will meet in exc
cutive session this afternoon, when
1t is expected that a candidate for
representative, to take the place of
Mr. Still, who was nominated but
who could not run on account of busi-
ness connections, will be nominated.
A Dr. Ethridge, of the DeSoto City
section, has been mentioned as a pos
sible nominee, but this Is a mere rum
or and some other man may be nom
mated
Following the executive session.
the committee will be entertained by
the Women's Civic Association, who
will serve dinner at the Commercial
Club rooms, Messrs. Crosland and
Chadwick having agreed to furnish
some extra choice fish as part of
the dinner.
The public meeting will be called
to order at o'clock and several in
teresting talks are expected.
Everybody interested in county
division is expected to be present at
the meeting, which will be sufficiently
interesting to repay anyone for the
time spent.

MAYOR PLEDGES AID IN
CLEANING UP The TOWN
Gives Committee Written Assurance
of Hearty Cooperation.

The chairman of the Parks and
Waterfronts Committee of the Com
mercial Club, who two weeks ago ad-
dressed a letter to Mayor Skies ask
ing If the committee could depend
upon the cooperation of himself and
the Town Council in cleaning up and
beautifying the town, has received a
letter from Mayor Skies in which he
pledges his hearty cooperation in
any movement undertaken by the
committee and the Civic Association
and states definitely that lie is ready
and willing to enforce any ordinance
of the town that he is empowered by
the town charter to enforce.
The committee is gratifed to know
that it will be given every assistance
by the mayor and other authorities
and with their help and the assist
ance of the Woman's Civic Associa-
ton hopes to do much to clean up
and beautify the town and promote
civic pride.
In his letter to Mr. Farmer, chair
man of the committee, Mayor Skies
invited the committee to meet with
him and the councilmen to discuss
the matter and it is understood that
in the near future, after the commit
tee works out a definite program of
action, they will meet with the mayor |
and council at a regular meeting or
ask for a special meeting to go over
and discuss the matter in all its
phases.

Last Meeting Tourist Club.

The last meeting of the Punta Cor

club rooms Tuesday night, when i'm

All members are urged to attend.
The club has added no little to the
enjoyment of the tourists who spend
their winters here and no doubt will
have much to do with bringing it's
members back and attracting new
visitors. Regular meetings will be
resumed in November.

fort MYERS SOLID
FOR BRIDGE ACROSS
CALOOSAHATCHEE
Sentiment for Magnificent Structure
and Short Route Road Said to
be Unanimous.

According to the Fort Myers
parers, the Fort Myers Press and the
Fort Myers Tropical News, a magni-
ficent bridge to span the Caloosahat-
chez at Fort Myers to connect with
the short-rOute road between that
place and Punta Gorda, is now prac-
tically assured.
| According to the Press, Fort Myers
will in the not distant future make
the proud boast Of having one of the
| finest bridges in the state. This i'm
portant structure will span the Cal
ooGahatchee from one of the prin-
cipal cross streets in Fort Myers to a
point on the opposite bank of the riv-
er, a distance OF approximately one
and one-eighth miles.
This rather large order, but the
prediction is based on the enthusi-
asm shown at the rCuGirg netting of
the Fort Myers Board CT Trade
Thursday night, the best ever held"
by that organization in the opinion
CT many. The attendance was an
usually large. Everyone was chock
full of enthusi2.m over the one big
subject under consideration and the
r2pid fire discussions prolonged the
meeting beyond the time set for ad-
journment. But not a man left the
meeting without the feeling Of de-
termination to aid in obtaining this
proposed bridge. Every man could
see in his minds eye this monument
al structure stretching across the
Caloosahatchee, with its white lights,
its park surrounding the center abut-
ment and the yacht basin, all of
which are contemplated In the big
plans that are about to materialize. |
The meeting cannot adequately be |
described by the mere word "enthus-
iastic." The members were full of
fire and they did not try to hide the
fact. There sprang into
instant action rapid fire barrage of
eloquent, red-hot speec' es, all di-
rected at the one big and absorbing
subject, the proposed bridge.
Harry r. Knight of Tampa, civil
engineer, of wide experience, was
then introduced He was asked to
give some idea as to the cost of the
bridge. He presented a
plan and specifications of
he proposed bridge and gave an esti-
nate Of the approximate cost of such !

Marion T. Willis, who, until a.

working in Jacksonville at his trade
as automobile machinist, in which he
ranks with the best. has taken charge
of Goff's garage in this city, in which
he will devote himself personally to

an old Punta Gorda boy, he feels
sure of being favored with due
share of the public patronage of this
section, which he will endeavor to
merit by doing only first-class and
dependable work. He will soon be

first, for several Florida papers
have ceased to appear.
1t is needless to go into the
reasons for the paper shortage.
1t is sufficient to say that paper
cannot be obtained. 1t is not
a question of price. We could
not buy newsprlnt today if we
offered 81 a pound for it.
While the shortage of bond
papers is not so acute and the
advance in price has not been
so pronounced, job stock of
every description has been and
is soaring in price. 1t is prac-
tically impossible to get some
classes of job stock ard delays
in delivery are becoming long
er and more frequent. For in
stance: A few weeks ago we
ordered 20 reams of a certain
bond paper from one of the
largest manufacturers and
dealers in the Southern states.
A small portion of the order
was shipped and we have re-
ceived word that the remain
der may be shipped about the
end of May. In the meantime
the price on this paper has ad-
vanced 80 percent.
In a few days every subscrib-
er to the Herald who Is in ar
rears will receive statement
of his or her account and un-
less the bill is paid within Is
days from date the paper will
be discontinued. We are fore
ed to take this action in self
defense. There is no profit in
subscriptions at 50 year and
we cannot carry any unpaid
subscriptions on our books with
the possibility of being COM
PEELED to suspend staring us in
the face.
After receiving statement
of your account you will have
just Is days in which to
square up" If you are be-
hind and want the Herald to
continue coming, come in and

is now progressing at a rapid rate.
Piling has been set to the draw and a
long stretch of forms laid prepara-

former estimates of the time requir-
ed to finish the bridge were correct.
and it seems from the progress being
made that they were not far wrong.

Makes His Business GrOv".

Prop. Calvin G. Page of the Dixie
Highway Garage, says that man in
his line of business has to do a lot
of accommodation work just the
same as the man in any other line
of business; and that on rainy days
this accommodation work keeps him
and his mechanics pretty busy. at no
small expense, but that it's all in the
business. It's just that-being ac-
commodating and doing good work
at fair prices-that has made the
Dixie Highway Garage popular not
only with many home people, but
with the travelling public too. And
Pages business is going to continue
growing.
