CLOSER COOPERATION
for Team Work Among
Civic Bodies May be Made
Nov. 10, at Orlando

With a view to bringing about a
closer cooperation of chambers of
commerce and similar civic bodies for
the development of Florida, confer
ence has been called to be held at Or
lando on Friday, Nov. 10th. The call
has been issued by the presidents of
several commercial organizations in
the larger cities of the state. A let
ter has been sent out signed by those
presidents which reads in part as fol-
lows:
'It is our thought that the presi-
dents and secretaries of the organiza-
tions should certainly be present, and
also such other representatives of the
commercial bodies of Florida as may
be delegates by those bodies.
"There are over hundred CONNER
cial organizations in Florida, all work
ing to the same end, viz: The upbuild-
| ing of this state, and it is our thought
that some association or central clear
| ing house of these bodies might be
worked out at this conference that
would enable this state to take the
fullest advantage of It's natural ep-
pcrtunities. Moreover, such an asso-
citation of organized business men
would, if formed, offer a means of Sc
curing expression of business opinion
upon non-political questions of state
wide nature, which does not now exist
and should be most helpful in the
adoption of common policies and ir
the exchange Of information"
The letter is signed by the follow.

PRAISE OF FLORIDA

Orlando, Oct. 22-"Florida isde-
veloping faster than any other state
in the union and its resources and
possibilities of further development
almost unlimited" declared United
States Senator Duncan U. Fletcher in
an address here yesterday evening be-
fore more than $50 men and women

ricultural possibilities in the Americas

elared in the course of his address.
He quoted David F. Houston, former
secretary of agriculture in support of
his declarations. Florida has both
heat and moisture, a combination sell
dom encountered. Senator Fletcher
said and in such field, he continued
the greatest crops can be grown out
of any kind of soil.

NOTHING TO NOTHING

A pleasing and truthful headline
for this article would be "Ocala Shut
Orlando Out" but if used it might be
embarrassing when the score was
quoted to have to explain that Orlando
also shut Ocala out. When the whis-
tie blew at the end of the final period
of the game the score stood O to 0 in
Ocala's favor. Owing to the crippled
condition of the team Ocala took to
Orange county, the local football fans
are greatly pleased that we were able
to hold the Orlando boys seoreless
even if we were unable to put across
regular players were declared ineligi-
Bile just the day before the game It
was too late to practice the subs in
the regular positions so Coach Bitch
had to enter the game with fear and
trembling.
Before the first quarter was over he
found that much of his fear was need
tess, for the Ocala team played good
game from the jump. In the first two
quarters neither team made the downs
over one or two times. In the third
quarter Ocala seemed to have things
going her way and was pushing Or
Iando steadily back but in the last
period the Orlando team put in fresh
men and saved the day.
When the game ended Ocala was
within thirteen yards and was going
good. The playing of Bebe Daniels
at quarter for Ocala was a feature
of the game. Bebe was hurt twice
but owing to Ocala's total lack of
subs was forced to continue in the
game. He managed the team we'll and
completed forward pass that placed
his name on the honor roll Ferguson
Borland, Stevens, Knight and Lewis
al played exceptionally good games.
