TAMPA TRIBUNE POPULAR

Every month shows an increase in
the number of Florida people who
are becoming steady readers of the
Tampa Morning Tribune. People who
have been reading the Tribune for
the past twenty eight years say there
is something about the paper that
"takes" and "holds," and that it soon
becomes just as essential as their
meals. These same people say they
can depend on every scrap of news
of any interest anywhere showing up
FIRST in the Tribune. Our corps of
Florida correspondents and the full
night and day service of the Asso-
ciated Press takes care of that. The
Tribune is by far the most widely
read newspaper in South Florida and
is the representative paper of the
state. Daily and Sunday rates: Year
ly$s.00, six months $4.OO, three months
$500, one month 75c. Daily only
rates: Yearly $500, six months $500,

THIRTY COUNTIES TO EXHIBIT
AT SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR

Tampa, Dec. 16-With exhibits al
thirty counties of Florida, the great
South Florida Fair and Gasparilla
Carnival for 1923 will be the biggest,
best and most comprehensive exhibit
of Florida's products, resources and
manufactures ever held in the state.
Additional room has been provided for
the vast array of exhibits; the new
buildings, including $4,000 concrete
and steel grandstand to accommodate
more than 1000 people, assure less
crowding and more advantageous dis
play room than ever before, and the
myriad new features prove that the
fair management is leaving nothing
undone to insure the comfort and
pleasure of visitors to the fair. Dates
are Feb. l to 10, inclusive, 1928.
Among the counties to be repre-
sented by large and comprehensive
exhibits at the coming fair are: Bre-
ward, Charlotte, Citrus, Clay, Column
bia, DeSoto, Escambia, Gadsden,
Glades, Hardee, fernando, Highlands,
Hillsborough, Lee, Leon, Marion,
Manatee, Sumter, st. Lucie, st. Johns,
Suwanee, Sumter, Taylor and Volusia,
with several others to be added with
III the next few weeks.
That rivalry will be keener than
ever this year between the counties is
assured by the plans that are being
made for the many displays. Some of
the counties have asked for consider
ably more space than can be allotted
to them; while in many cases indi-
viduals and associations have con-
tracted for display space for exhibits
aside from the county displays. The
fair management is completing the
official program and list of exhibits
and displays, which will be ready for
announcement shortly.

rnenttype are secured.
One road that is proposed in this

PLEASANT AUCTION PARTY

Yesterday afternoon and last night,
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H.
Spencer, Misses Louise and Loureen
Spencer entertained number of their
friends at an auction party. In the
afternoon they entertained about
thirty married ladies and in the eve
ming the same number of unmarried
friends. The Spencer home was at
tractive and cozy with potted plants
and cut flowers.
AS the guests arrived they were
met by their hostesses and Mrs. Spen-
Ger, who added a cordial word of
greeting. Pretty tally cards, decorat-
ed with poinsettias, were given to the
guests, and soon every one present
was pleasantly engaged in the inter-
esting game. In the afternoon, Leslie
Stroud, the little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Richard Stroud, gave out
the tallies; in the evening Miss Lou
reen Spencer distributed them.
In the afternoon when the scores
were collected it was found that Mrs.
Z. H. Martin was the holder of the
highest score, and Mrs. Grider Per-
kins the lowest, and in the evening
Miss Ethel Horne held the highest
and Miss Music Bullock the lowest.
Mrs. Martin and Miss Horne were
presented with silk hose, and Mrs.
Perkins and Miss Bullock with boxes
of pretty stationery.
After the games, the card tables
were spread with pretty cloths and
the hostesses, assisted by their
mother and sister, Miss Mamie Sue
Spencer and by Mrs. G. C. McMullen,
served frozen salad, waters, stuffed
dates, coffee and fruit cake. At night

JUSTICE FOR MARION COUNTY

Ocala, Fla.-(To the Florida Grow
er).-The editorial comment which
you clipped from the Gainesville Sun
and published in last weeks Grower
under "Clippings From the State
Press" is misleading, though we are
sure that it is published with very
best intentions.
Marion county used to be fine
orange growing county, the Sun edi-
torial says, "and so was Alachua. The
big freeze was allowed to discourage
the growers in these counties and
they let the industry drop" Marion
county, however, has never ceased to
grow citrus fruits and of the highest
quality. 1t is true that the freeze of
'94-'95 proved a serious setback to
the citrus industry in this county, but
there were growers who had foresight
and courage and they budded the
stumps of the trees and brought their
groves back into bearing and today
there are thousands of acres in bear
ing groves in the county. 1t should
be pointed out also that the damage
done by the freeze in '94-'95 was by
no means limited to Marion and
Alachua counties.
The Chamber of Commerce gather
ed statistics last March which showed
that Marion county shipped during
the season of 1922 more than 425,-
900 boxes of citrus fruits and infor-
nation obtained since then indicates
that the shipments last season ex-
ceeded 100000 boxes. Such ship
ments would not be possible, of
course, if the citrus industry had
been dropped.
The industry is booming in Marion
county at present. The young groves
will run into the thousands of acres.
Do not forget that this is the home of
the pineapple and "Parson Brown"
oranges and of the "Walters" and
"Jossellyn" grapefruit. Our fruit
brings top prices every season. This
county with its high quality fruit and
with its extra early fruit will prove
the most important factor in the cit
rus industry of Florida in the future.
We shall appreciate it very much
therefore, if you will correct the i'm
preston given by the clipping in your
issue of November 25th.
You have certainly improved the
Grower very much recently and I am
sure that you want your attention
called to mistakes when they are
made.
We are glad to know that Mr..
Whitman is headed up this way. And
Marion county, by the way, is in cen
trail, not north Florida. Ocala is only
hundred miles north of Tampa. We
have here, however, most of the ad-
vantages of both south and north
Florida. Along with our citrus in
dustry, we have diversified agriculture
and are not dependent upon one crop
only.
With best wishes, sincerely yours,
Marion County Chamber of Com
merce, Louis H. Chaza1, Sec'y.
Note: We endorse everything you
say. You have everything you claim
and more. We have a great admira-
tion for your county and your peo-
ple.-The Florida Grower, Dec. 16.
