HEAVIER RAILS ON THE
FORT MYERS DIVISION

According to report published
few days ago, the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad is making preparations to re-
build its tracks into Punta Gorda and
to Fort Myers with rails that are
much heavier than those now doing
service. The present rails are not
worn or defective but show up fine.
The only reason for making the
change is that they are going to put
on much larger engines and prepare
for heavy traffic. This shows the
country is developing for the company
would not go TO this expense for pas
time.
The A. @. l.. is filing in where
they have culverts and small bridges
and are putting large vitrified tiling;
some Of these being several feet In
diameter.

DEMURRER TO INJUNCTION
FILED BY w. L. CLIFTON

In our last issue We spoke briefly
OF the action Of Governor Cats in or
dering the reinstatement of w. L.
Clifton as Supt. Of Public Instruction
OF Polk county VS.. Jno. A. Moore,
present incumbent.
The beginning of the last move oc.
Cured as we went to, press-the se-
curing of an injunction stopping the
action of removal. Since that time
Supt. Moore has been in full and legal
possession of the office.
During the time Of Cats sojourn
IN Barlow he remained with w. l..
Clifton and Clifton's attorneys, and
was given such a cold reception by
the public that it is said he never
even left their Office except to lunch
at the cafe beneath the Office rooms,
during which time it is claimed that
practically no one called upon him.
Numerous persons gathered around on
the streets, catching views of the gov
ernor at the stairway and in the dining
room of the cafe. This disposition
to keep distance from his highnes,

In quite the prettiest game Of the
season, staged yesterday at the local
park, the Highlanders broke losing
streak of seven straight games and
handed the Caps from Orlando a one

that the locals have been losing Of
late, only a handful of fans were
present at the exercises. 1t Is to be
hoped that the fans will stick by the
management in its effort to place a
winning team in Lakeland and that
more of them will come out. To play
as pretty ball game as that one yes

than two hundred fans, is discourag-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug i7-It is
OF the romance OF the corncob that
much Is heard and written at the De-
parlment OF Agriculture these days.
The corncob OF humble origin and
equally humble history. suddenly has
moved up the ladder TO a position OF
great responsibility. In fact the timo
may come when the cob is more valu-
grain.
When the scientists at the depart-
ment nrst began experimenting with
the corncob Il was looked on as
worthy OF some consideration. II
could be used 10 advantage for fires
ana 10 some extent ID was used In
the making OF the Missouri brand
OF pipes. But II took the keen-eyed
and imaginative scientists to see other
things hidden IN it
Now As a result OF their investlga-
tions, the corncob will be used TO
make Two very good grades OF adhe-
siNe, other parts OF II will be used
for the making OF cellulose. other
parts Tor the making Of acetate Of
lime and other parts for the making
Tor furfural Each Of these produc-
'hons, especially furfural Is Is part the
nase OF dyes, explosives and several
omer commodities And that Is not
all, for eventually the lOwly cob will
be used In the production Of baking
powder and glucose, according to the
same scientists.
