QCEDNAU BROS. TO BUILD
GARAGE-ON TAYLOR STREET
Work Already Started on New Build
ing and viii be Finished
i'm a Few Weeks

Work was begun on a garage and
filling station which the Quednau
brothers-Henry and Fred-are hav-
ing erected on Taylor street, almost
opposite the Herald. and the new
building will be ready for use in a
few weeks if there are no unexpected
delays. The building will face SO
feet on Taylor street and will extend
back an equal or greater distance
the exact size of the building hav-
ing not been determined Wednesday.
Ii will be constructed of ornamental
steel as q matter of eXpediency, with
foundations and walls built to receive
veneer of brick in the near future.
The building will be used primari-
ly for a filling station and auto sup
ply house, the plans including a
modern filling station to be located
directly in front under canopy and
arranged in the usual way so that
cars may drive in from either direc-
tion and gas up" without interfer-
ing with traffic.

CONDITION OF BATHHOUSE
BETTER THAN FOR YEARS
Mrs. Hancock Corrects False impress
sion Given by Article in
The Herald

The pavilion and bathhouse. in
cluding the porches surrounding it,,
are in better and safer condition now
than for several years according to
Mrs. j. H. Hancock, president of the
Woman's Civic Improvement Associa-
tion.
The absence of any piling under
the porches surrounding the bath
house led the Herald, last week, to
state that these porches were in ap-
parently bad condition and that later
they might become unsafe, if this
were not the case already the paper
being unaware of the fact that the
pavilion had been thoroughly repair
ed following the storm during which
it was damaged.
Mrs. Hancock states that while
there are no piles under the pOrches,
the piles having been removed, these
porches are as safe as they ever were,
heavy supporting timbers having
been extended from the main part of
the building, and these are sufficient
to sustain any strain that might be
expected to be placed upon the porch

PREDICT FLORIDA TRUCK
WILL Bring GOOD PRICES
Northern Crops Exhausted Sooner
Than Ever Before Known, Leav-
ing Market Open

That Florida fall produce will
bring better prices than ever before
III the history o. the business Is the
prediction of well known New York
produce dealers in whom local truck
ers have the utmost confidence, as
well as people who have just return
ed from the north and took careful
note of the condition of the local
crops and the vegetable markets.
l;ter from the concern referred
to. addressed to Chas. Cochran, con-
tlirs tie following paragraph, which
is given weight by the fact that the
concern is looked upon as one of the
most reliable in the country: THE
prospects for Florida fall vegetables
were never better in the history of
the business than they are this year,
as vegetables from nearby sections
are winding up earlier than ever was
known before" This statement is
borne out by local people who have
just returned from vacation trips
spent in various parts of the north.

FLORIDA SHIPPED 70,S19
CARS PRODUCE 1922
Shipments for Season Just Ended EX-
ceeded Last Years Movement by
1000 Cars

/ Fruit and vegetable shipments
from Florida in the season just end
cd amounted to II 900 carloads more
than the total shipments for the pre-
ceding season.
The total movement for the past
season from September Is. 1921, to
July l, 1922, was 1886 carloads,
and for the corresponding nine and a
half months of 1920-21 the total was
59,762 carloads.
The westward movement to the
Ohio and Mississippi River points,
and beyond, this season amounted TO
about 1000 cars more than the sea-
son before, or 20,0S6 cars, while the
shipments to points north of Savan-
nah this year were 3S,623 cars, or
about $500 more than the previous
year.
Oranges and grapefruit constituted
the largest single items. The past
season there were 1904 solid cars
of oranges shipped out of Florida,
and 1899 cars of grapefruit. This
is less oranges. but more grapefruit,
than the season of 1920-21, when
there were 20,616 cars of oranges
and 1890 cars of grapefruit.

U.S.. MAY INVEST IN
LOCAL REAL ESTATE
Postmaster General Proposes to
Buy or Build a New
Postofice

According to Robert Fuller, who
furnishes the Herald with Washing
ton news with local interest, Uncle
sam is going to invest in Punta
Gorda real estate as soon as the
plan of Postmaster General Work
is authorized by Congress. 1t is
proposed that the government Guy or
build its own post Office.
President Harding has approved
the plan. 1t is national in scope and
when put into operation will save the
government $50O,OO0,00O in ten
years.
Postmaster General Work in his
letter to President Harding explained
that the department now pays an an
nual rental for buildings which house
all of our post Offices, totaling more
than $12, 100000. These figures
have been growing at a tremendous
rate recently as leases expired and
owners demand and obtained sub
stantial increases.
1t was also pointed out that shame
less speculation on the part of those
who try to prey on the government
viii be abolished for all time.
The government can borrow money
at percent to buy or build post
offices, which will be tax free, says
Work. Whereas, when leased, the
government pays a rental high
enough to permit the lessor to bor-
row money at to 10 percent and
still profit
Five thousand eight hundred and
thirty-six of Uncle Sans post Offices
are in leased quarters. Only 1900
are in homes owned by the govern
ment.
The parcel post and other adjust
ments have resulted in earnings
which have more than doubled in the
last ten years and are constantly
growing.
Administration leaders in Congress
favor the plan and treasury officials
have expressed the opinion that it is
essential to economical management
of the postal system.

Look Out for the Rust Mite

Rust mites are still appearing in
some parts of the state, and recent
observations at the Experiment Sta
tion have found them to be coloniz-
ing very strongly, so that an out
break may occur at any time especial
ly on the fruit from the June bloom.
An outbreak is especially dangerous
at this time as many growers are
not in the habit of looking for the
mites at this season, and are apt to
be caught mapping, so the grove
should be looked over at once and if
the mites are common, sulphur in
some form should be applied. The
form most used in the past has been
the lime-sulphur solution at the rate
of ] gallon of the concentrated lime
sulphur solution to rs gallons of
water. Another method that has
given good results this year Is the
iusting of the trees with powdered
sulphur with which has been COM
Dined an equal weight of thoroly air.

1922 CITRUS CROP WAS
THE BIGGEST IN HISTORY
Estimated Yield Vas in Excess
OF One Million Boxes More
Than for 1921

According to the Florida Grower.
the following figures show the out
put of Florida citrus fruits, oranges
and grapefruit combined, from 1885
to the present time, figured in boxes.
To get the car lot figures divide by
$50, the usual carload.
The 1922 figures are those COM
piled by the Atlantic Coast Line r.
f. and will differ somewhat from
those of the Florida Citrus Exchange,
which however are not at this time
quite complete, though enough so as
to show that they will be about a
quarter a million boxes less than the
railroad figures.

Thermometer REGISTERS
81 HERE; 113 IN THE WEST
Comparison of Heat Records shows
This Part of Florida Compara-
lively Cool

Florida has had some unusually
warm weather during the summer
just ending-but if it has been warm
here ii has been hot--very hot-in
some other parts of the country. Out
in Kansas City, on August 23rd, the
papers of that city reported that the
tar was running off the str vet into
the gutters-the corn crop withered
turned bTown-and peo-
pie We're dieing from the effects of
the heat. while many more were
prostrated st. Louis seemed to be
the coolest place in that part of the
country on August 23rd, the ther-
mometer registering 80 there. Here
the mercury ranged from 72 to 90 de-
grees on August 23rd according to
the official government report for
that day. A comparison of the max
imum here on that day with the max
fmum registered in various western
cities on the same day should have a
cooling effect on those disposed to
think it's hot here while cool breeze
is blowing and the thermometer oc-
casionally rises to 80.
These figures show how hot it was
here and in various western towns
and cities on the 23rd:

After reading in the Herald that
the golf course was in need OF money,
Mr.. Morrison, prominent winter
visitor and golf enthusiast, sat down
wrote liberal-sized check and mail
ed it in TO help pay the expense Of
keeping up the course. Just at this
time money is needed badly to keep
the course in good condition, and CON
tributions, large or small, will be
received by the officers Of
the country club and those interested
in the course.

At the afternoon session, most OF
the time of the board was taken up
in the consideration of bills, auditing,
approving and ordering them paid.
The matter of sending money to
Arcadia to pay interest and sinking
fund on bonds of the special road and
bridge districts of this county, moved
Commissioner Whitten to ask why
the bond trustees selected at the
meeting of November 18th, 1921, had
not qualified so as to keep and handle
this money here. At the meeting
mentioned, the following were select
ed as bond trustees: For the Punta
Gcrda district-c!ay Chadwick, II. Il.
Dreggors and f. w. Smith; for the
Charlotte Harbor district w. r.
DeLoach. w. w. knight and j. r.
Swinney. On motion, their bonds
were fixed at 81 10000 each and they
were urged to qualify at once and
meet with the board at p. m. on
Saturday, 9th inst
1t was decided that the first con-
signments of shell which F. o. Will
kins is to furnish for the roads should
be delivered at Shell creek bridge.
Board then adjourned till 10 a. m
Tuesday.
The first thing done Tuesday
morning was to raise Bridge Tender
Roberts salary from $50 to $50 per
month. The bridge lock having been
broken, another was ordered.
A drainage ditch that does not
drain, located out near the Meadow
farm on Alligator creek, came in
for much discussion, which ended in
Commissioner Knight reminding the
board that, months ago, the chair
man had been appointed a special
committee TO look after that ditch, as
it is in his district.
The rest of the morning was given
to talk about the present survey
being made by the state engineer and
the general road condition and out
look TOT the county.
Messrs. Knight and Hobson, the
committee, reported that they had
decided to have Mr.. Wilhelm submit
in writing his proposition for con-
creting the exposed steel on the har-
Dor bridge.
At the afternoon session, Dr.
Blount, whom the board had request
ed to visit f. p. Marvin at Spark
man and report on his condition, ap-
peared and stated that Mrvin was in
bad condition, that he was suffering
from heart trouble and that his loca-
ton far out in the country made it
impracticable to give him proper
care and attention. After due dis
cussion, the board directed the road
superintendent to move Marvin, his
wife and household goods into one
of the houses on the county farm,
where he could get the attention
needed.
The question of procuring a hond
register wherein to have recorded a
complete history with all necessary
details of the bonded Indebtedness
of the county, was again brought up
and the discussion that followed de-
vcloped the fact that, while thous-

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO EMPLOY
A LIVE STOCK SANITARY INSPECTOR
Means That Ban Will be Lifted and Resumption of Shipment of
Cattle and the Bringing in Of Money from Industry
Practically Stopped by Restrictions

The county commissioners met in
regular monthly session, Monday,
with all the members present. After
the opening ETeliminaries, the atten-
ton of the board was directed by let
ters read by the clerk to the distress
ed condition of F. p. Marvin, who,
with his wife, lives three miles from
Sparkman. 1t was stated that he is
seriously i'll, is without funds and is
in destitute condition. The board
allowed $500 each for him and his
wife and directed that a physician be
sent to see him, make an investiga-
ton and report to the board with a
view to giving additional aid, if need
ed.
Answering an inquiry from the
board, letter from the comptroller
was read stating that taxpayers in
the Murdoch district may be permit
ted to pay their state and county taxes
without paying their drainage taxes.
A note was read from the deputy
clerk of DeSoto county notifying the
board that $5,769.92 would be due
October 1st on account of interest
and sinking fund on bonds of the
Punta Gorda special road and bridge
district. Clerk was directed to pre-
pare the necessary warrant for remit
ting.
Contract with Frank o. wilkins
for delivery at designated places of
$500 cubic yards of shell was pre-
sented and signed. His bond in the
sum of 100000 was approved.
No action was taken on the offer
of B. Vance, auditor for DeSoto coun-
ty, to furnish the board with bond
register.
The clerk exhibited TO the board
set of instruments for tracing and
recording plats presented for record
ing, and named the price at which
they could be bought. Action was
deferred.
A petition was read from local cat
tie owners asking the board to CO
operate with the boards of Highlands,
DeSoto and Glades counties in en-
ploying A. f. Hull as livestock in
spector for the year ending Septem-
Der 30th, 1923, each county agreeing
to pay him $4,000 per year. 1t
was explained that no cattle have
been shipped from this section for
three years, thus depriving the own
ers and the county of thousands of
dollars that would otherwise have
come in and gone into circulation;
that the engagement of an inspector
would be followed by a general and
systematic dipping of cattle, for
which there is plenty of vats;
and that, after being d ippe d
and inspected. the certificate of the
inspector would enable the owners
to ship their cattle outside the
state in response to lively de-
mand now existing and thus bring
into the county a large amount of
money. The petition was granted,
and the inspector is to be paid in
installments out OF the agri-
cultural fund.
Bridge Tender Roberts asked for
better pay and living quarters, which.
t was intimated, would be granted at
he next meeting.
