Alice Crone, field secretary of the
state Epworth League.
The business session was presided
over by Angus Williams, president
of the Hillsborough County Epworth
League. The main business was the
organization of the county league, it
being felt that the larger organization
will result in charging the activities
Of the Epworth League in the county
and result eventually in establishing
an Epworth League in every church
and community throughout Polk
county.
A constitution and bylaws were
adopted for the new organization, and

was honored by being elected the
first president.
The election of other officers was
deferred until the next meeting,
which will be held at Lake Wales on
the evening of June 9th.
A social hour followed the business
session and sandwiches and punch
were served by the Barlow League in
the Sunday School annex of the
church. The Barlow young people
proved to be splendid hosts, and the
entire meeting was enthusiastic and
very enjoyable.

Any housekeeper will value the
Passion Fruit when once its uses
are known. 1t has that quality
which gratifies the palate.
The vine, which is a creeper,
grows easily, especially in the
north of New Zealand, and is
very prolific, and should grow
easily in sub-tropical countries.
1t can be easily grown in private
gardens and is valuable in that it
bears freely and long Tin New

into the late autumn) and is of
marketable value. In Otahuhu,

acceptable, particularly for the

To L. f. Hursthouse, Esq,
Lakeland,
Polk County, Florida, U. S. A.
Dear Sir:
| have much pleasure in acced-
ing to your request to give you
my opinion regarding the value OF
the Passion Fruit as largely used
in New Zealand.
The Passion Fruit husk, though
small and so insignificant in APP
pearance, contains one Of the
most delicious of seed fruits. 1t
has a decided acidity, but with ar
aromatic flavor, so to speak,
which is distinctly unlike any
other fruit. In warm countries
where fruits and fruit drinks form
so large a part of the daily diet
the Passion Fruit is invaluable.
ICED DRINKS: It's fiavoring
would make any iced drinks or
sundaes most acceptable.
DESSERT PASSION FRUIT:
With the addition of sugar and
cream, iced and returned to their
own husks and served for dessert
will tempt the appetite of the con-
noisseur.
FRUIT SALADS: In addition to
the citrus fruits used for flavor
ing fruit salads the Passion Fruit
will add a flavor distinctly pleas
ing. Eaten by itself. especially
with cream. flavor is hard to sur
pass.
CAKES: Passion Fruit is
largely used for flavoring iced
cakes, sandwich and layer cakes,
also in filings with whipped

"Yes. letter for you" The name

The thought that she, Marcia Brew

so strange and so sudden that she

independence.
True independence is one of the best
assets of character. 1t raises life to
higher standards. 1t makes man
conscious Of his mission and increases
his self-respect. There is no need of
1t making man overbearing or snob-
bish In fact. the opposite is more
likely TO be true. True independence
neipS ieiiOW TO recognize ana respect
the WORTHWHILE in others. Instead OF
being leaner it helps man to be-
come a prop for some fellow who can
be made strong by the right influence.
True independence teaches man to
be one of the group whose greatest joy
Is to make others better. The petty
man is afraid someone will get more
praise than he does and So he quietly
suggests something to injure the other
fellow. Big fellows are above such
smallness. They stand out in rich con-
trast because they live for what they
can put into life rather than for what
they can get out of it. They are indie
pendent of petty schemes and find
their joy in contributing to the worlds
uplift.-Exchange.
