MAY Be EXHUMED
Cause of Irish Leaders, Death
Believed by Many to Have
Been Poison.

DUBLIN, Sept. 1.-(By the AS.
ISOLATED Press)-Reports that Ar
thur Griffith was poisoned circu-
lated in Dublin at the time OF his
death three weeks ago have again
become prevalent. Inquiry among
the physicians who attend the Dali
president has evoked the categorical
statement that he died from nat.
uraI causes, probably from heart
disease.
A leading physician, however, in.
formed the correspondent that
there is some talk OF exhuming the
body and holding an autopsy for
the purpose Of clearing away any
doubt as to the cause of his death.

AT the moment OF the eclipse

Call for Aid for
Flood Sufferers
Made by Red Cross

Putnam county will respond rapidly
and generously to the appeal of the
American Red Cross for $500, 900 to
be used for relief work among home
less and hungry refugees in the flood
stricken areas of the lower Mississlp-
nj valley, w. P. Merriam, chairman OF
the local Red Cross chapter. announc-
ed today.
National headquarters of the Am
erican Red Cross has sent letter to
the local chapter requesting its aid IN
this emergency, Mr. Merriam said,
and the work of raising funds for the
sufferers will begin at once. All cit
liens are asked to make their contrl-
buttons through the local chapter and
in making them they may specify, if
they wish, the particular part Of the
stricken regions iii which they wish
to have their money used.
According to reports coming to the
notice of local Red Cross workers the
conditions in the flooded areas are
even more wretched than at first re-
ported. At the present time they are
growing worse instead of better.
Despite the warm weather the ex-
posure and lack of proper food has
resulted in much ill health and only
the best of care will prevent the death
of many. Many mothers and their
babies were compelled to spend two
and even more days in frail RATS or
in leaky boats before they arrived
from their submerged homes to the
tent camps established by the Red
Cross. On the outer edge of the lake
formed by the overflow of the river
many whole families lived in the gar
rets of their homes for several days
before new rises in the river and lack
of food necessitated their departure.
Prompt relief work, which is only
possible by a prompt response to the
appeal for money, can largely relieve
the suffering existing in the flooded
areas, according to Red Cross rep rts.
Mail your check today to F. H. Will
son, Treasurer Putnam County Red
Gross.

Remember These
Facts

Sealdsweet oranges and grape
fruit are accepted by the trade
as nationally advertised products.
And they are distinctly Florida
products. Likewise, distinctly
citrus.
Hundreds of thousands of
housewives who demand Seald-
sweet from their grocers asso-
ciate the name only with oranges
and grapefruit-from Florida.
While the Florida Citrus Ex-
change preserves most cordial
relations with cooperative mar
keting organizations everywhere.
it has no entangling alliances.
A freeze in California or a
drouth in New York State for
this. reason may only bring the
benefits of better prices to mem
bers of this organization.
Amy member of the Florida
Citrus Exchange always is in a
position to obtain the high dol
lar" for his fruit whenever there
is a market upturn. Nothing
could demonstrate this better
than events of last ninety days.
In number OF members. acreage
and volume Of fruit the Florida
Citrus Exchange shows constant
and consistent gain. There must
be reasons for these facts. In
vestigate and you will readily
find what are these reasons.

Consider These
Points

The history. aims and purposes
of the Florida Citrus Exchange
may not be told in few words.
They are identical with those
of the citrus industry in Florida.
The two cannot be intelligently
separated
Of successful operation. the Flor
ida Citrus Exchange today typi-
fles the success of cooperative
marketing carried on with the
true cooperative spirit.
Ii is to cooperative marketing
that all the producers of the
United States today are turning
and everywhere the Florida Citrus
Exchange is regarded as model
of efficient service to members.
Whatever the problems of the
future they must be the prob
lens of the growers-those who
own the land and the trees which
produce citrus fruitS--and only
the organized growers success
fully may solve them.
The expansion of carlot mar
kets for Florida oranges and
grapefruit has been due to the
efforts of the growers own CO.
operative organization. Future
expansion Of such markets must
be made by the growers.
The first commercial introduce
ton of regular supplies of grape
fruit into Great Britain, with
accompanying educational work,

ments of the Florida Citrus
