Oneof the biggest new local enter

in the county almost continuously
since, and MUNICH of the time has been
on the ground to take care of the
work
This grove project is Of $40 acres
lying just five miles north of Lake

Gibson on the main paved highway
and mostly being east OF this road
and within the square made by the

Every forty acres of this land is adj

is perhaps as good a block of grove
land as there is in the whole Of Polk
county. Bounded as it is, on nearly
all sides by lakes. being high and dry
and rolling with the good surface soil
underlaid with the yellow sub-soil il

Three gangs of mel are already a:
work clearing this tract 800 acres OF
which will be cleared and planted to
watormelons for next springs crop.
OF this 800 acres 240 will have beer
planted to grove before the water
melons are put in.
The whole object of this develop

to pay for something q little better
than can ordinarily be had in the wav

little more than fifty cents in his
pocket, and has worked, saved ana

them until at the present time J. c.
Swindell is considered one of the most
substantial orange growers in Florida.
During his residence in Polk county
he has served the public in various
capacities. always proving his worth
to the people whom he served As
county commissioner when Polg voted
million and half for road bonds,
he was largely instrumental i'm getting
the bonds through and the roads
planned and they were built under
his administration and stand as a
lasting monument to him and his col

valuable work for the county. putting
it first in good roads of any county
in the world.
Mr.. Swindell believes that if man
has a special talent he should use it
for the development of the section in
which he lives. Having proved that
he can make citrus groves grow and
prosper in Polk county he is putting
his best knowledge into this new de

Hair Reform.

War on the flappers is about
to be officially declared in Wash
ington.
Beginning April 1 in one place
and May Is in another, two big
department stores of the city have
ordered all flappers to punch the
time clock sans bobbed hair and
hp-sticked countenances.
Flappers have been ordered to
discard flesh-colored hose. those
fancy waists. If any are worn,
and all the rest of the trimmings.
The New Dress Order.
Beginning April l in the Palais
Royal the following order of dress
will be required:
BLACK skirts. If blue is worn, 1t
must be midnight blue or very dark
blue, so as to be scarcely distinguish
ed from black, No other blue will
do. Flesh -colored hose cannot be
worn. Nets must be worn with bob
bed hair" Signed. A. Lisner. He is
the proprietary
At Woodward & Lothrop's the
dress will be little more varied.
Pongee dresses as we'll as all white
may be worn. The Palais Royal en-
ployes may also be permitted to wear
all white. The same rule applies to
bobbed hair in this store as the
Palais Royal.
I'VE shall require a net covering
for bobbed hair" said Mrs. NJ. l..
Renters, educational director Of the
Palais Royal, who has general super
vision over the girl employees.
When Fads Break Out.
MANY of our customers do not like
q girl to wait OH them with her hair
flying all over everything, down on
the goods AMI into everything. 1t
doesn't look neat. they think. 1t does
not look businesslike. We want our
girls to give the appearance of hav-
ing their minds on their work.
Bodied hair is too often a sign of
frivolity," said Mrs. Renters.
"Fads are always breaking out in
store. When l first assumed my
duties here, the girls were wearing
those fancy sweaters. 1t starts in
one department and generally
spreads throughout the store. l had
to issue orders forbidding the wear
ing of sweaters, as l now order net
coverings for bobbed hair"
1t is thought the ''flapper war
will extend to other branches of In

TO VIRGINIA TOWNS

denied requests Of citizens Of Ros-

in writing a statement to the effect
that the District would furnish them
with fire protection at any and all
times.
Requests were made for such pro-
lection to Commissioner James F.
Oyster, who has supervision over
the fire department.
To grant fire protection would
materially reduce insurance rates in
the two suburbs. it is pointed out,
but would lessen the fire protection
in the District proper.
