Stranger Attacked

Police Chief Caldwell reports a
mysterious assault having been made
about $3.50 last night upon a strang-
er temporarily stopping in town.
This man was walking to town to
take the night train for Fort Myers
and was passing in front of c. C.
Cartoons residence, when he met
another man walking in the opposite
direction. This other man, without
saying a word, using his fist struck
the first mentioned man a powerful
blow squarely in the face, and then
fled into the neighboring bushes.
Chief Caldwell was quickly notified
and made prompt and careful search
for the offender, but failed to appre-
hend him.

less in coming years barring the
use Of suitable coni"ol measures -
than heretofore" declared Plant
Commissioner Wilmon Newell when
interviewed upon the improved meth
Cd of weevil control recently Az
nounced by him.
Particularly" said Dr.. Newell,
should the Florida farmer avoid be-
ing misled by the fact that many
fields in this state produced a good
cotton crop in 1922 without any mea-
sures being taken to combat the wee
vii. These good crops were invari-
ably made on farms or in neighbor-
hoods where there was no cotton boil
weevils to come out of hibernation
last spring TO attack the 1922 crop.
This crop, therefore, started off with
out any weeVils TO contend with and
had until midsummer to make, or
until the summer migration of wee
Wis occurred about August l."
On farms where cotton was grown
in 1922 there will be plenty of wee
wills next spring, according TO experts
who have given the boil weevil close
study, and the farmer who under
takes cotton growing next year un-
these conditions must be prepared
to fight the pest. And it is generally
agreed among those in position to
speak authoritatively upon this sub
ject that this improved method of
boil weeyil control-resulting from
the work of the State Plant Board in
1922-is the most effective and cco-
nomical way to do this fighting. The
method is described in Experiment
Station Bulletin 1G5 and in Quarterly
Bulletin for October, 1922. of the
State Plant Board. a copy of either
publication may be had upon request

'NUITE to Its amazement Wall Street woke up
~ one morning recently to find Henry Ford the
richest man in the world. What amazed them most
was that he had grown rich in spite OF them.
Time was when Wall Street refused to help Ford,
when 1t looked upon him as questionable risk and
wanted eleven per cent. Now Ford is propping up
the plutocrats Of wobbly Wall Street with loan
of nearly $200000000 With finer spirit he is letting
them have II at four per cent.
Mr.. Ford made his mammoth fortune in a clean
and splendid way. 1t is no crime to be rich. 1t is
not ethically wrong to acquire the greatest fortune
If you have gained that fortune by helping in.

Much of his fortune made by the most despic-
able practices. He brazenly dehed the laws Of the
land. He not man-helper. To gain his own
ends he would cruelty crush His ambition to

Ford created something. He made instrument

The first real organized movement
to abolish the present system of
daylight saving probably will get
under way with the return to tn s
city of Charles A. Baker. president
of the Federated Citizens Associa-
tions.
There is a letter wa.t.ng Baker
suggesting that he form a commit
tee composed of a delegate from
each of the local citizens associa-
tions. this committee would call on
President Harding and ask him TO
deliver Washington Immediately
from the brand of daylight saving
now in force.
The letter was written tn Baker
by Thomas J. Donovan. president OF
the Central Citizens Association.
Harding seems Opposed.
Conditions here are In such con-
fusion that it rs imperative that the
law be rescinded and things
brought back to normal. Donovan n
declared in his letter
Let President Harding give the
order recalling the plan So that the
city may speedily forget this night

Those who profess to know Presi-
dent Harding's mind declare that
nothing can persuade him to recall
his order inaugurating the present
plan Of daylight saving

Business houses have reported bip

Most opposition. however. seems to
emanate from employees in the gov
ernment departments and in other
offices where the new hours are be-
ing observed. There are great
many employees. il is said. who in
stead of utilizing the saved day-
light for other purposes rush home
