CLUB OWNERS TO
CONSIDER DRAFT
RULE OF BOARD

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Club owners of
the American Association met in spe-
cial session here today to consider the
acceptance of the new draft proposal
made by the baseball advisory board.
The proposal carries a price of $500
for every player drafted from the or
ganization, an increase of $4,000 over
the former price.
No advance indication was avail
able regarding the action the club
owners would take. President Hickey
is said, however, to have agreed with
Ban johnson. president of the Amer
ican League, and President Heydler of
the National League, that $500 was
a fair price. The club owners have
not declared themselves.
The action of the Pacific Coast
League in refusing to submit to the
draft will be taken into consideration
at todays meeting.
Judge Lands, commissioner of
baseball, regards restoration of the
draft as one of the biggest problems
in the game.

DIRECTORS OF
SOUTHLAND CO.
ARE OPTIMISTIC
o. c. Lanphear Is President of
Company and H. l.. Collins Is
Secretary Treasurer

K. Futch. J. c. Swindell. G.. c. Ours
ton, Fl. L. Collins, s. NJ. Stephens, q.
c. Lanphear. has elected permanent
officers for the ensuing year. O. c..
Lanphear' is the new president of
the company, J. X. Futch is the now
vice president, and II. l.. Collins is
secretary and treasurer. The now
board of directors has gone eXtensi ye-
ly into plans for the expansion Of The
Southland business, especially the dis
tribution of the famous and very pop
ular new bottled drink known as
Southland" Another important pro
duct of the plant is grapefruit candy
and chocolate candy-fill. Several bot
tiers in other cities and towns are
desirous of contracting with the
Southland Company for an early sup
ply of syrup. 1t is estimated that this
demand will consume all that can be
produced by the company with its
present machinery and facilities. The
directors are confident that the ex-
pansion of the industry is only limited
by the amount of capital invested in
1t. Every week shows an increase in
the number of orders for Southland
and as an instance of this, the big
motor truck which makes regular
trips to points east and south Of
Lakeland as far as Arcadia and
through the Ridge country, rarely is
able to make its destination with the
amount Of goods ordered by the far h.
est point. IN fact during recent
weeks the load has been disposed Of
sometimes entirely before the trip is
half completed. The company las
had considerable difficulty in securing
a sufficient supply OF bottles. but Il car
load is now on the way so that if is
reasonably expected TO be able to sup
ply all urgen, demands at very early
date.
The directors are enthusiastic over
the prospects for the coming year and
each and everyone has indicated an
intention to stand by the company
to do everything possible to advance
it's interests.
its interests. 1t will be observed that
the directors are all residents of and
deeply interested in Polk county so
that the project is now backed by
gentlemen whose motives cannot be
classed as purely selfish, it being real
lied that the development of the
Southland Citrus Products concern
will eventually be a very important
asset to the citrus industry of Polk

CONGRESS LEADERS
EXAMINE GROUNDS
OF MELONS VIEW
Prepare To Put Bonus Bill Through
Despite Opposition of Secre-
tary Of Treasury

Washington, Jan. 25.-Congression-
al leaders preparing to carry out the
administration plan to put through
a soldiers bonus bill were analyzing
today the statement of the treasury
reasons for continued opposition to
the bonus as transmitted in letter
from Secretary Mellon to Chairman
Fordney of the house ways and means
committee. Writing to Mr.. Fordney
late yesterday in response to a re-
quest for an expression OF the de-
partment's views, Secretary Mellon
declared that any attempt to provide
for the bonus through use of the prin-
cipal and interest of the foreign debt
to this country would be futile as
we'll as unwise" and that an attempt
to do so through new government
borrowings would be dangerous in
the extreme"
If there is to be a bonus, however,
the secretary said, ut must be pro-
vided for through taxation in addition
TO the taxes imposed by existing law
Estimates of government receipts and
expenditures for the fiscal years of
1922 and 1923 showed there would
more probably" be a deficit than a
surplus, he said, and there had been
no allowance for such additional ex-
penditure as would be involved in a
soldiers bonus for the first two years.
On the most conservative estimates,
he said, this would probably be not
less than $s50,0O0,00O.

AUTO CAMPS IN
FLORIDA PASSED
ON FAVORABLY
State Board of Health Makes Pub.
lie a Report On the General
Conditions

Jacksonville, Fla. Jan. 25.-The re-
cent survey of automobile tourist
camps as conducted by the State
Board of Health shows that there are
at least thirty-eight established auto
camps in Florida. thirty of which are
maintained by municipalities. the re-
mainder by private individuals.
Among the municipal camps there are
several worthy of favorable mention.
namely those at Bradentown, Dania.
DeLand, Gainesville. Green Cove
Springs, Lakeland. Pensacola, Tampa
and West Palm Beach. At each of
these places special efforts have been
made to operate the camps along the
most approved. sanitary lines in ac-
cordance with regulations of the State
Board of Health. Camps in these
cities are recommended by the State
Board of Health.
In addition to the municipal camps
the survey discloses that there are a
number of privately operated camps
in the state. In this class those most
worthy of favorable comment are To-
Gated in Clearwater. Miami, and st.
Petersburg. One of the private camps

respect. The operators at these pri-
vate camps, as a rule, are exercising
every care and precaution to main
tain satisfactory sanitary conditions
conducive to the best health inter
ests. Several private camps located
in central Florida cities were found
to be in need of immediate attention ;
they were dirty and i'll kept and the
authorities were notified to improve
conditions.
The survey indicates that. general
" speaking. camps are much better
cared for now than ever before. es-
pecially as regards conveniences for
the tourists. Thirty-four of the thirty
eight camps inspected have water of
known purity available on the grouD ds
and at twentyone complete sewerage
facilities are installed. In unsewered
localities the authorities have gen
orally installed sanitary privies rec
commended by representatives of the
State Board of Health. Camps hav-
ing such facilities are at Apopka, Bar
tow, Daytona, Lake City and Largo.
Following its intensive survey of
camp conditions the State Board of
Health concludes that camp super
vision is the one prime need at pres
ent. Too many camps receive little
or no attention from the officials. A
little constant supervisionary effort
extended by local officials would in
many cases transform a poorly kept
camp into a good one. Many munich
pal officials are still negligent of their
responsibility in this respect and the
State Board of Health regrets that
some of these officials are located in
our most progressive and larger
cities.

"As dancing is an active physical
exercise, it should make for good

Dancing should give pleasure both

Siberian Settlement -
Pacific Fort Matter AL
SC Closed

Washington, Jan. 25.-(By the AS
sociated Press. )-The work of the
arms conference appeared to be mov-
ing rapidly toward conclusion today
as the far eastern committee, having
disposed of the Siberian question at
the same time that a virtual agree
ment was being reached on the sole
remaining issue of the naval reduc-
tion plan, meet again to begin the
final wind-up of lesser problems. Yes
terday's high-speed developments
were regarded by some of the dele
gates today as having cleared the
way for final adjournment of the con-
ference possibly within week.
Satisfaction was expected in both
Japanese and American quarters to-
day over the outcome of the Siberian
discussions, which ended by adoption
in the far eastern committee yester-
day of a brief resolution proposed by
Secretary Hughes, providing that the
pledges given by Japan as to the pei
icy under which she is retaining
troops in Siberia and the secretary's S
statement of the American position on
the question be spread on the confer
special qualification with the japanese
pledge against territorial designs in
Russia, while reiterating the hope OF
his government that the government
would find it possible to carry out in
"the near future" her expressed inten-
ton of Withdrawing troops from ST.
IBERIA. The committee then took up
a proposal by Elihu Root to create
an international commission to study
the question of wireless communica-
ton in China which went over for fur
ther discussion today.
Settlement of the Pacific fortitica-
tions question by substituting for the
British plan of defining latitude and

against further Notifications is to ap-
ply, be specially listed, left only its
formal approval in text by the Jap
anese government needed to complete
the naval treaty. The Japanese
agreed that the Japanese Bonin group
should be included under the prohibi-
tion.
Another agreement was reached yes
terday reversing the previous infor-
NAL understanding of the delegates
regarding the Pacific power treaty and
providing that it shall not be con-
strued as applying to the major Jap
anese islands. The formal agree
ment took the form of series Of
notes already signed and to be for
mally expunged from the record be-
fore the Washington conference ad-
journs.
While the Shantung negotiations
were adjourned until tomorrow, there
were indications of increasing activ-
ity outside to aid in bringing about

issue, and conference officials in close
touch with the compromise effort OF
