A careful reading of the circular
shows that it does not directly charge
that the exchange will use these COL
oring rooms to disguise immaturity
or inferiority, although it might be
argued by some that late Valencia
oranges which have hung on the
trees so long that they have turned
green are inferior to fruit picked at
the proper stage of color, and that
'speckles on tangerines make them in

LEGATION of the circular by inference
points out that improper use may be
made of the coloring rooms being

through eating immature oranges.
1t is understood that federal pure
food officials are going to keep a
close watch upon Florida citrus fruit
this season and that the oranges
must absolutely come up to federal
specifications as to maturity.
In years gone by, the shipment of
green or immature oranges from
Florida by growers VINO wanted 10
get the early high prices was one of
the wors tevils the trade had to con-
ten dwith. Consumers would buy
dozen oranges, find that they were
sour, and then turn to other fruit.
Thus the market for many weeks
would suffer simply because the
greed of an occasional grower and
shipper and every orange grower in
the state would lose actual money
and potential markets through the
avarice of the occasional man who
thought he was slipping something
over" on the great mass of honest
growers and shippers, all of whom
had the genuine interest of the great
Florida citrus fruit industry at heart.

"The Home The Town Built'

But these are just the who build;
The house is empty and must be filled;
So the rest of the town then takes part
To prove that each has a will and heart
To make that house HOME indeed
And here is the rest of this jlngiy screed
The FURNITURE man gives table and bed,
chair and a carpet on which to tread
The DRYGOODS man provides the sheets
And towels and napkins for the eats.
The CROCKERY man sets up cup
And plate and dish rom which to sup
The CUTLERY man then gives the TOOLS
Knife fork and spOOn) by fashions rules
The HARDWARE dealer would think it strange
If he could not provide the range
Together with many pot and pan
That a woman needs to feed a man.
These are the men, if the house is SMALL
Who help to build, but they are not ALL
IF the maiden wants PIANO to play,
An ALARM CLOCK to waken her early each day,
AVACUUM CLEANER a PICTURE FRAME,
A FRONT DOOR PLATE, to hold her name,
Then others step into rank and file
To make her house HOME WOKIH w HiLE;
For this is the home the TOWN built
The GROCER, the BAKER, the seller of MEAT
The MERCHANTS who handle all good things to eat
The ICE and the MILK and the EGGS and the FOOD
The COAL and the CLOTHES and the GAS and

The STOREKEEPERS handling all things she
use;
The EDIIOR telling the lateSJ news.
The PREACHER, the LAWYER, the DOCTOR, the

The MOWER OF LAWNS and the MAKERS OF

There's hardly a soul in the town, you will find,
Who hasn't some sort of connection to bind
His personal profit and happiness through
His part in constructing "HOME for just twO'
And every HOME in the town is the same!
It's wonderful work and beautiful game!
The TOWN is the gamer well as the pair,
For their comfort and ease make them permanent
