Club Meets
on Mondays
Change Made So That Meeting viii
Not Interfere With Attractions
on Other Nights

At the last meeting of the Punta
Gorda Commercial Club it was decid-
ed to change the meeting night from
Friday to Monday, and the club will
meet Monday, May 22nd, at the usu-
al time and place.
1t was found that on account of
many other meetings and special at
fractions at the picture show, which
attracted great many of the mem
bers, that the attendance on Friday
was rarely if ever as large as Il
should be, members pleading that
they had to give attention to OtheI
matters on this night. After dis,
cussion it was decided that since
there was no picture show, prayer
meeting, lodge or other club meetings
on Monday nights that this would be
"a better night for the Commercial
Club to hold its meetings, and it is
hoped that in future the attendance
will be much larger. Matters OF real
interest and Importance are coming
up now and those who have kept
things moving are in hope they will
be given the benefit of the advice and
assistance of more of those who are
equally, or to greater extent, in
terested in the towns development.

Shipments OFT

Where ordinarily at this time of
year there should be eight or ten
cars Of tomatoes rolling from Plant
City each day, there have been only
five cars in the past week This is
especially discouraging in view of the
fact that, from the number of toma-
toes planted, this promised to be a
bumper crop. The dry weather has
killed many of the tomato plants, be
sides preventing the crop from max
ing, it is said.

FEVER TICKS keep FLORIDA
CATTLE IN QUARANTINE
Stock Cannot be Shipped Out of State
Until Federal Laws Are Com
piled With

That something must be done by
/ legislative enactment in order to get
the cattle of this state out of the
quarantine area, where they are being
held on account OF fever ticks
strongly emphasized by the Florida
! Development Board in its recent bul,
letin, where it says: An extensive cat
| tie feeder in Ohio, who wanted sever,
al hundred steers for fattening, wrote
to some of the cattle owners of this
state for prices, which the latter were
unable to quote as there was no way
to get animals out of quarantine
under existing conditions. This con
dition, the bulletin adds is going to
continue, until legislature provides
for the only method which will open
the outside markets, and that is the
compulsory statewide dipping of cat
tie every fourteen days.
Enactment by the legislature of
some kind of stock law, and making
live stock owners liable for all dam,
ages done by their roaming stock will
be necessary it is claimed before the
clean up campaigns being waged in
many communities can become per
manently effective.
The Department of Agriculture has
charge of maintaining tick fever
quarantines and of the cooperative
urit tot nd 10
owners in eradicating the cattle few
er ticks, and ws the original agency
interested in tick fever eradication.
The War Finance Board was the
second government agency to take
COgnizanCe of the tick fever handicap
when it ruled that no funds should be
advanced to cattle owners whose
stock was in counties where COmpul-
sorry dipping had not been authorized
by vote of the people, nor on Cattlr
which were not confined in pastures
or enclosures, and the Interstate
Commerce Commission is the third
government agency to emphasize the
Importance to the cattle owners of
getting rid of the cattle fever ticks
An order has been promulgated It
quiring all railroads to use a UNI
form live stock shipping contract, one
feature being that the shipper speci-
fically must agree to assume all re
sponsibility for delays and losses
caused by quarantine regulations
authorities and for all expenses

ORGA NIXATION MAKES MONEY
FOR FARMERS or ALACHUA
Growers Get More Money for Produce
Through Union

The Farmers Union of Gainesville
has rendered an excellent service to
the cucumber growers of that section.
1t has enabled the farmers to sell
their produce at a higher price than
they otherwise could have, and it has
also standardized the grading of Gu
cumbers, probably to an extent never
before attained.
This particular union is composed
of about one hundred members, IS
percent of whom grow cucumbers. At
the beginning of the shipping season
the union nired a full-time sales man
ager and a full-time inspector. The
sales manager keeps daily market
quotations and thru him the farmers
duce promptly and at a profit.
A. H. Doran, secretary, says Each
farmer brings his cucumbers to the
shipping point where they are graded
into fancy, choice and culls and then
shipped. At the end of the week the
farmer gets his money"
by grading" continues Mr.. Dor
an, "the farmers are enabled to mar
ket a standard product which attracts
buyers and consumers and at the
same time builds up reputation for
the center in which they are grown.
And furthermore, this method of
marketing puts the small farmer on
the same basis as the large one"

Money Subscribed and Building OF
Connecting Link in Trail
Considered Sure

According to the Fort Myers Press
and other Lee county papers. the
early construction of the proposed
bridge across the Caloosahatchee to
connect Fort Myers with the rest OF
the world via the short route-State
Road No. 5 to Punta Gorda-is now
assured. Almost from the first mo-
ment the subject was mentioned-the
construction of toll bridge by
stock company-the plan has had en-
thuslastic backing. That backing
has assumed definite shape The
money necessary for the construction
of the bridge is rapidly being sub
scribed; the site for the bridge has
been selected; blue prints showing
the style Of the bridge, its location,
length, width, size of draw, etc, and
the sOundings made, have been pre-
pared and will be sent to the War
Department Immediately, if indeed
they are not already well on their
way.
The proposed bridge will be 5.62I
feet long and eighteen feet wide. with
diagonal planking. 1t will have
swinging draw. 1875 feet long, which
passage of so feet on either side,
will allow t he largest boats
using the river to pass through on
either side without difficulty. The
bridge will cost $65, 900 to build, ac-
cord inc n ir,o otn bot
made, although it is probable that
that figure will be exceeded some
what, owing to as yet unforeseen cir
cumstanCes. However, if the bridge
should cost as much as $4,000 it
would be money well spent, for there
is an ever-growing need for such a
bridge, which, when completed and
in operation. by which time the new
short route will have been completed
also, Will prove one of the greatest
conveniences and, therefore, one of
Lee county's greatest assets.
OF the amount that is regarded as
necessary TO carry out the plans for
building the bridge more than $50
u,
ual signatures having been obtained
while small individual pledges have
been obtained amounting to $4,000.
with more assured, and it is declared
that there will be no difficulty in
raising all the money needed.
The site for the bridge was de-
ctded upon after careful survey of
the situation and consideration of all
factors entering into the scheme. It
has been decided to locate the bridge
in East Fort Myers, a suburb, the
south side approach being at the foot
OF Fremont street, crossing the river
almost at a right angle.
1t is proposed to organize under
the laws of Florida a corporation to
be known as The CalOOsahatchee Riv-
er Bridge Company, or by such other
name as the parties at interest may
determine, and that such corporation
shall have a capital stock of $780,
D00 divided into $4,000 shares OF
he par value of $40 each"
AS has been stated, it will be oD-
aratcd as a toll bridge. although it
s understood that the county will
nave the privilege of buying it.
1t is believed that with the capital
Zation proposed the company will
have no trouble, and that it will
prove paying proposition from the
opening of the bridge TO traffic.
