IMPORTANCE TO FLORIDA
OF REFoRESTATIoN
(Associated Press)

Washington, June S.-The impor-
tance of reforestation to the Florida
citrus fruit industry is pointed out by
forestry officials of the department of
agriculture in a circular which shows
that approximately $4,000, 900 board
feet of lumber are used annually to
get Florida oranges and grapefruit
to the breakfast table.
More than 12,000.OO0 boxes, each
requiring about 51z board feet of
lumber are now required to get the
crop to market and by 1880. the cir
cular states. if production continues
to increase in similar ratio to THAT in
recent years, the output will require
100000 boxes annually. Truck
farm products of the state now call
for 100000 crates annually and
this demand also is increasing.
Forest depletion under methods
which do not provide for re-growth
has reached point which makes the
question where containers are to
come from a matter of very practical
concern to the citrus industry, ac-
cording to the circular. Conferences
have been held with leading officials
Of the forest service to discuss the
question and application of the prin-
ciples of forestry with a view to the
production of sustained supplies Of
box material is regarded as the only
way TO meet the problem.

WHY AND WHAT is A CAPON7

Capons sell at higher prices than
any other class of poultry, turkeys
not excepted. Last winter Jackson
vile hotel paid to a Leon county
farmer 20 cents a pound for all he
produced. Some sold in Miami a.
more than a dollar a pound.
'Capons of such breeds of chickens
as Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island
Beds frequently come to weigh ten
pounds; they should average seven
pounds.
Capons are as fine favored, as juicy
and as tender as fryers are. They are
used by the best hotel, cafe and din
ing car trade
There is money in capons properly
fed and handled-good money IN q
small way for the small trouble
Capons are unsexed male chickens
The operation is simple and losses
rare. The county agricultural agent
will be willing to caponize a sufficient
number of small cockerels to instruct
any person interested. These cock
ereIs should weigh about IL to two
pounds.
Why not conserve the chickens N
this way? There is always a good de
mand for capons, but who wants Il
buy an old rooster?

ANDERSON STEPPED
DOWN AND OUT


AT the meeting of the council Tues
day night Mayor R. L Anderson ten
dered his resignation The council
held it for consideration until its next
meeting Mr.. Anderson is therefore
yet mayor, tho judging by what he
said he viii not any further exercise
powers of the Office.
The circumstances which led to Mr..
Anderson's resignation are these. Ac-
cording to the charter, it is one of his
duties to recommend men to fill the
Office of chief of police. This year he
desired the election of Elwood Ray
mond, chief Of the fire department.
The council wanted to retain Henry
Gordon, the present incumbent. All
the members of the council have a
good opinion of Mr.. Raymond, who
has made an excellent FIRE chief, but
they did not think he was as well
qualified for city marshal as Mr.. Cor
don, who is veteran in police affairs
and knows everybody in the county.
Mr.. Anderson recommended Mr.. Ray
mond, but the council voted against
the recommendation, whereupon Mr..
Anderson at once rendered his resig-
nation.
Mr.. Anderson has made a good
mayor and his friends unanimously
regret his resignation.
The resignation of Mr.. Anderson
leaves Mr.. d. E. McIver. president of
the council. acting mayor. 1t may be
that he will I'LL out Mr.. Anderson's
term. The law on this point says that
if an official resigns within six months
of the regular election. the council
need not call a special election to fill
the Office unless it wants TO. From
June Fl, the date of the next council
meeting, until December I3, date of
the city election. is less by a week
than six months. It's the Stars
opinion that the people will be just as
well pleased if no election is called in
the intervening time. 1t will make a
lot Of trouble and excitement that is
not wanted, and we are not likely to
get better mayor than Don McIver
anyway.

.ROTAR|ANS HAD A
LIVELY MEETING
Distinguished Visitors were Present
and Many Matters of I'm
pOrtance Discussed

The meeting of the Rotary Club was
a well-attended and interesting affair.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
served. one of their appetizing lunches
and under or rather outside of its
inspiration the standard geniality of
the club amplified.
DIR. Hugh Henry presided, Harry
Borland, president, having wished the
Office on him. The club had as guests
X. c. Moore, county agent, and Par
ker Painter of Broadacres farm.
Frank T. Shelly. manager of the
American Fruit Growers Association,
DIR. II. F. Watt and Como d. Massey
were guests of members of the club,
and all made terse but instructive
talks on various public subjects.
The matter of the benches for
which Mr.. Sam Leigh took up col
lection was referred to the civics
committee. 1t was the intention of
Mr.. Leigh and his coadjutors to have
the benches in readiness for the band
concerts this summer, but at this
writing the concerts are not very evi-
dent. The club will probably put
them to some public use in a week or
two.
The following verse for Harry Bor-
lands benefit was sung:
TUNE: Dear Old Girl."o
Harry Borland's brilliant mind will
solve it,;
He won't preside always but says
revolve it;
Each week the buck he passes
To some who might be asses.
We think Hugh Henry fills the bill
Take it as you will.

Wilkes Booth are Even
More Scarce


Birmingham, Ala.,- June S.-A

Brooks, president of the Woman's
League of Republican Voters of Ala

against the statue have come to the

country and she believes the time has
come when such acts as placing the
shaft Twill be frowned upon by all
good citizens of the South regardless
of party affiliation." An injury has
been done the South as a whole, she
says, and wrong impression created
north, east and sEest. In order that
there may be zone harmonious union
of interest, north, east, west, south,
Mrs. Brooks has called upon all pp-
litical faiths of the south to join the
league in plans to remove the Booth
shaft
The statue was erected by funds
gathered by semi-public subscription
at a time when partisanship was keen
and when Booth was looked upon by
some as a benefactor and hero The
league claims that this was not the
sentiment of the south at that time
and that the surviving few who had
hand in the erection of the shaft
viii not object TO its removal

it was good game so who minds
losing? The umpires were both very

close ones but no rank ones so the
