w. G. Tilghman Raised
a Crop at That
Ratio

That Putnam county is the most
admirably situated section of Florida
for the growing of citrus fruit, that
farm lands in this county are as high
ly productive as those of any spot in
the country and that no county IN the
state has a greater soil diversity were
statements made and proven at an
evening luncheon of the Kiwanis club
at the James hotel last night.
The program was given over to an
agricultural survey of the county,
leading growers of various products
from all sections of the county hav-
ing been invited, including County
Agricultural Agent Armstrong and
Chief Filed Agent Hiatt, of the Uni
versity Extension. E. L. Mann was
in charge Of the program.
z. H. Williams, prominent citrus
grower and shipper Of Crescent City,
spoke of the citrus fruit industry in
this county, reviewing its progress
during the last thirty-five years, du-
ring which time he has been engaged
in it. With preferential freight rates
and a soil most admirably adapted
to citrus fruit culture Mr.. Williams
said that there was no reason why
this should not be the leading indus
try of the county. He cite} that colds
which destroy fruit or trees in this
section destroy them in all other Sec
tions Of the state, and cited instances
where groves further south suffered
even more than they did in this Sec
ton few years ago. MT. Williams
also said that the quality of fruit
Ngaised in this county is unsurpassed,
thst-freight rates are about half
what thew are from Miami and other
southern points, beng about 63 cents
per box from Crescent Cfg.to New
York by water. He said that Cies-
cent City will ship approximately
100000 boxes of fruit this season and
that the packers are now experiment,
ing with a coloring process for the
early Parson Browns. This fruit, he
said is thoroughly sweetened before
it colors, so that artificial colorine
will make it more attractive in the
market,
Growing FlorahOme Industry.
George C. Hardy, of Florahome
told of the rapid strides being made
there in the culture of beans, bunch
beans, pole beans and snap beans, it
being possible to raise three crops OF
them in q year A remarkable and
astonishing statement made by Mr.
Hardy was that every pound of beans
shipped from Florahome during the
summer months is sold in Florida
and not until October do they star
shipping to the New York and Other
markets. He said that of the forty
growers there approximately $4,000
worth of beans would be shipped this

He gave his reasons for this in the

CAR MEN BATTLE
TO HOLD FREEDOM

Buffalo, N. Y.-The street car
strike in this city revolves around the /
question whether bona fide trade
union shall be supplanted by the
company "union," known as the "Mit-
ten management" and named after
the man who installed it in Phila-
delphia. The street car company in
that city owns the Buffalo line and
the Philadelphia parties are anxious
to extend their company "union,"
which has been enshrouded in the
most fulsome praise that paid publ
city agents and big biz propaganda
can devise.
State cossacks have been sent into
this city by Governor Miller. One
officer of the cossacks bought 25
pounds of dynamite in the name of the
business agent of the Street Car
Mems Union. The cossack's attempt

WANT ALIENS REGIS
TERED

Washington.-In speech before
business men, William J. Burns, the
"great detective" urged the passage
of bill requiring that all aliens be
registered. The bill is favored by
Secretary Of Labor Davis.
Under the provisions of this bill,
said the great detective" registra-
tion would drive undesirables out of
our country. The aliens would be ex-
amined and every radical agitator who
would sow seeds of dissention would
be ousted.
The "great detective" left it to the
imagination of the business men to
sense the value of this legislation
when the steel trust, or meat barons,
for instance, are facing an effective
strike. Then, the aliens they import
to break down living standards will
themselves be deported because they
have awakened to what real Ameri-
canization means.

In their appeal, the miners officials
say:
do you know that $4,000 miners
with their wives and 10000 children
have put up one of the most remark
able battles since April l, 1922, for
industrial freedom that was ever
fought in this country?
do you know that 5000 of these
miners with their wives and children
have been evicted from their homes
and 10000 others have been served
with eviction notices?
do you know the jails are filled
with our miners through trumped-up
charges, brought against them
through coal company hirelings?
"Do you know five of our miners
have been murdered and 25 others
shot by hired gun men? Thousands
have been beaten by coal company
thugs and state police-many of them
made cripples for life.

the winning of this great struggle :?

Hot sunlight, winds as hot, as
shimmering heat which distorted OBJ

line a dazzling, wavering ribbon of
faded blue; and then the dull haze of
smoke which hung over the land, and,
without tempering the heat, turned

east to the west. and at evening time

When the wind blew, the touch of It
scared the face, as the smoke tang as
sailed the nostrils. All the world was
a weird, unnatural tint, hard TO name,
never to be forgotten. The far hori-
zon drew steadily closer as the days
passed slowly and thickened the veil
of smoke. The distant mountain drew
daily back into DINNER distance; be-
came an obscure, formless blot against
the sky and vanished completely. The
horizon crouched then upon the bluffs
across the river, moved up TO the line
of trees along its banks, blotted them
out one day and impudently estab-

Time ceased to be measured ,accur-

As we emerged from our wrecked
fortress, other members of the posse
were scattering to round up the out
lying bomb-throwers, who had appar-
emily taken to the tall timber in a
panic-stricken effort to escape. Down
on the bench below there were horses
and hOrse-hOlders; and among the
horses one whose bOyish-looking rider
was just slipping from the saddle.
