Mabel Paige and her popular play- ers will be here next Wednesday and Thursday nights. The following s what the Jacksonville Times Union has to say about this excellent com- pany: The funniest of all the comedies in which Miss Paige has ever ap- peared in Jacksonville, is the delect- able farce, “Billy.” Everybody will remember the story of the great football hero, who, having lost his four front upper teeth in a desper- ately contested inter-collegiate game, follows up that calamity by losing his false set, just as he embarks for a voyage aboard the same vessel with his sweetheart and her moth- er, and consequently becomes it stuttering, lisping imbecile time he attempts ot speak the missing molars. This comedy has been selected for the opening attraction on account of every withont presentation in Jacksonville show it to have been patronized by the larg- est crowds who came to see anyone single offering of Miss Paige curing her last stock engagement in this city. Many regular patrons came to see “Billy” three and four times and no one who has ever seen it will want to miss the chance to see it again.

Tampa, Fla., Nov. three crop in any year,” says W. C. Temple of the Citrus Exchange. “First, in December estimating the coming year's crop by the amount of bearing wood in the groves. Secondly, by estimating the fruit on the trees at the different stages of development of the fruit. This second method I8 usually subdivided in three stages. Once in June or July when all the various spring and summer blossom- ings lave set, again in September when the fruit has arrived at a suf- ficient size to closely estimate the 16.-—*"There are sizes ut which the fruit will run;! and JJastly, in November, when a suf- ficlent amount of groves have been picked to check against the estimates on those particular groves the actual results in fruit picked. “Thirdly, the estimate made after the entire crop is shipped, which is the only truly accurate one and the oma fu which most of the guessers plum themselves on thelr judgment. “The estimates made last Decem- ber on the amount of bearing wood in the Florida groves tended to show that barring setbacks Florida would ghip for her 1911-12 crop thirty thousand cars of citrus fruits and under normal conditions of weather this estimate would have been very close. The late frosts of February 22, in conjunction with the very early bloom In connection with the total rainfall of only a little over an fnch for the three months of Jan- uwary, February and March, howe- ever, almost entirely destroyed the brilliant prospects from the first bloom. “The estimates made in June and July tended to show that the crop was apparently between five and six million boxes for the year. The Sep- tember examination and reports went to show that the June and July es- timates had beey entirely too high and a revised estimate based on the September tion showed the crop would not exceed from four to four and a half million boxes, all told, for the season. In November, when the check estimates were possi- ble from the fact that many groves were entirely stripped and the results could be compared with the mates, the estimates tend to show that a further re on is necessary as none of the groves picked as much fruit as were estimated by about one- third, which would make it appear at the present time that the total Florida ¢rop of oranges and grape- fruit for the season 1911-12 is only from three to three and a half mil- lion boxes. The fruit, however, both oranges and grapefruit, is of the finest quality, flavor and juiciness that the state has ever produced since the Nearly half of the entire crop is not of the exami esti- hig freeze one- first bloom, but of later blooms, which should not be shipped until after the holidays, o there will not be available for the Thanksgiving and holiday trade this year to exceed | a million and three-quarters to two million boxes, million boxes last year, and four mil- lion boxes the preceding year. There- fore, people who have oranges to sv-]]’ should bear this extreme shortage in mind and not be in a hurry to let their fruit go at any old price “Some of the irresponsible dealers who have obtained their fruit some- where and by some means, known best to themselves, are today selling oranges at a dollar five, f. 0. b. pack- ing house for fruit that the exchange is readily receiving from $2 to $2.25 *. 0. b. packing house.
