esting feature. was the discussion of

gan of FLORIDA Federation of

Mrs. Blanchet on Scripture Prophe-

Following the action of the Board
of County Commissioners In tabling

COUNTY BOARD OF TRADE
TO MEET MONDAY, FEB. 6
Large Attendance Expected at Regu-
lar Meeting to be Held at Punta
81 Gorda.

The Charlotte County Board of
Trade will meet in regular monthly
session in the lower room of the
Masonic Hall, in Punta Gorda, Mon
day, February sixth, at 1880 p. M,
and because of the general discussion
of and interest in the proposed bond
issue for roads, it is expected that
there will be large attendance.
The last meeting of the board was
not well attended, on account of the
fact, perhaps, that the meeting fell
on holiday when the thoughts of
nearly everyone were centered upon
individual pleasures and for the fur
ther reason, perhaps, that everyone
thought that there would be no meet
ing and there was no use for them to
go.
The County Board of Trade is a
county organization of people from
all sections of the county, and every
one interested in the advancement of
the county is invited to attend the
meetings, whether members or not.
The dues are IS by the year or soc by
the month.

"MOTHER AND THE LAW"
TO Be SHOWN BY SCOUTS
One of Griffiths Best Pictures AC-
cording to Judge Cooper,
of Chicago

THE Mother and the Law" said to
be one of the best pictures ever pro-
duced by Griffith, will be shown in
the Plaza theatre afternoon and
night, Tuesday, February 14th, by
and for the benefit of the local troop
of Boy Scouts.
According to Judge w. F. Cooper,
who saw the picture in Chicago
THE Mother and the Law" is one of
D. w. Griffith's best pictures, telling
a story that at once points a moral
and grips the heart because it is a
story of real fiesh-and-blood people
and dealing with real life.
The picture will be shown in the
afternoon at 3:45 and at night at
1880. There will be special music
at both performances and the scouts
will give exhibition drills and exhibi-

FORT MYERS PEOPLE SAY
WILL BUILD SHORT ROAD
Fort Myers People Promise Cooper
alton to Secure Opening of the
Short Route

That Lee county intends to go
right ahead with her end of the short
route road between Punta Gorda and
Fort Myers just as soon as possible
and that Charlotte county may de-
pend upon cooperation of the people
there in securing the designation of
the road from Punta Gorda to the
Caloosahatchee as state road, was
the assurance given Captain w. H.
Johnson, the Commercial Clubs offic-
ial good roads booster, County Com
missioner Whitten and Chas. Cochran
another prominent and enthusiastic
worker for good roads, when these
three men went to Fort Myers We'd
nesday for the purpose of sounding
the sentiment there.
They found that there is still some
opposition to the short-route road on
the part of some Fort Myers people,
but there is also a strong sentiment
among influential men and interests
for the road, from whom came the
assurance that Lee county would live
up to her agreeemnt to build her
share.
Three members of the Board of
Commissioners of Lee county are said
to favor the short-route, and Commits
sioner Whitten, of Charlotte county,
was assured by the commissioner rep
resenting the district north of the
river, through which the short-route
runs, that it was his firm intention
to build Lee county's portion of the
road just as soon as possible, and he
agreed to go with a delegation from
Charlotte county to ask the State
Road Department to designate as
State Road Number Five that portion
of the road between Punta Gorda and
the Caloosahatchee river.
Altogether Messrs. Johnson, Whit
ten and Cochran were well pleased
with the information they gathered
while in Fort Myers and recommend
that further time be given the Lee
county people before cOnclU ing ar
rangements to provide this county
with an eastern and southern outlet.

GOVERNMENT TO ABANDON
ARCADIA AVIATION FIELD
Government Decides to Discontinue
Field as Measure of Economy,
Says Dispatch

According to a Washington dis
patch in the Tampa Tribune Wednes-
day, it has been decided in Washing
ton that Carlstrom field aviation
ground, at Arcadia, must soon be
abandoned, which will propably mean
that this step will be taken when the
present class there has finished it's
work, in few months.
There is no discrimination against
Carlstrom field, but this action is
simply in line with the position of
the government authorities to reduce
BILE il is said.
Congressman Drane, who was
largely instrumental in having the
Arcadia field located at that place,
which is in his district, has worked
hard on the matter from the begin
ming. When it became evident some
time ago that many such places would
be closed he kept behind the matter
vigorously. From information today
it is said that the government is well
pleased with what has been accom-
plished at the Florida field, and that
it is only because of the necessity Tor
reducing expenses that Carlstrom will
be abandoned in the near future.
When Carlstrom field was laid out
by the war department during the
world war, companion field, Dorr
also was laid out at point on the
same prairie a few miles from Carl
strom. Soon after the armistice was
signed Dorr was closed, and since
that time only a squad has been
maintained there to guard the build
ings. 1t is to be presumed that when
Carlstrom field is abandoned a similar
squad will be maintained there.
Carlstrom has been, and is today, one
of the most noted training grounds
for flyers in the United States.
Abandonment of the field will be
a severe blow to Arcadia, which has
advertised itself as "the aviation
city" of Florida and the payroll, said
to be about $4,000 a month, has
contributed in no small measure to
the prosperity of the merchants of
that city.

of Postal Funds

Former Postmaster George D.
Rhode, who was charged with embez-
element of $1,000 of postal funds by
the federal grand jury, was taken
before U. S. Commissioner w. o.
Sheppard at Fort Myers late last
week and his bond fixed at $1,000.
w. L. koOn and H. r. Dreggors are
his bOndsmen. He will have to ap-
pear before the U. S. District Court
at Tampa sometime after the second
week in February to stand trial.
From a report that appeared in the
Tampa Tribune Tuesday it might be
inferred that Mr.. Rhode was attempt
ing to evade the postal authorities,
the Tribune report stating that the
officer found" him about 20 miles
southeast of Punta Gorda. Mr..
Rhode has never made any attempt
to evade arrest, but on the other
hand, while protesting his innocence,
he went to the postal inspector to
give himself up, the inspector refus-
ing to place him under arrest, and
his family and friends have known
his whereabouts during all the time
he has been away from home.
Mr. Rhode has stoutly maintained
his innocence of the charges brought
against MIN and has a great many
friends who believe him innocent of
any wrong doing and who will await
the outcome of his trial with great
deal Of interest.
