E. Rese, and will be pub- lished at the conclusion of the sea- son. This record, compiled irom an- alysis of samples of oranges sent to ‘the laboratory every week by the growers, will show the change in percentage of acid and sugar in the oranges from week to week, and the date on which the orange of the va- rious varieties and localities became ripe. This will be the first accurate re- cording of the ripening of Florida oranges. Complete only for a single year, it will not be an indisputable iadex to the qualities of the varione fruits and localities, but it will be & valuable aid to the shipper and ‘;;rc\\er. and to the State in the ef- fort to prevent the shipping of green | fruit. From the twenty-five trees a sample is picked and shipped every veek, A dozen oranges constitute a sample. Might Use Maximum Acid Test Mr. Rose is satistied with the pres- ent formula and laws which he says bhave been proven by this year's ex- perience to be nearly right. He hopes it will be adopted by the growers again next year, and congiders it ad- visable. A modification, however, | which he suggests as making the testing easier would be to fix the per cent of acid without relation to tha | percentage of sugar. Beyond a cer- tain percentage of the fruit juice the acid should not be permitted to go, | regardless of what proportion sugar | tacre is. By fixtng a top limit for the iper cent of acid the same results {would be secured, and more definite- {1y than by the seven to one formula The fruit now is rapidly reaching maturity. Captain Rose says. Ths Parson Browy truit became fit for congsumplion about October 15, Prios ’1« thut time the fruit shipped had [tco much acid and too little sugar, in almost every instance, Seedling s are becoming ripe now, ac- cording 1o the analytical tests, but of course after the chemical stand- tord's time had expired, November &, | vore of this fruit was shipped. The Growers Approve, But— On the whole, though, Captain | Rore believes the efforts to stop th- shipment of green fruit from Florida successful. Much less went out this year than last year and the north tliern market was encouraged to de- mand ripe fruit. Favorable publicity was given the Florida fruit becaus: of the fight. “It is a safe statement to say e\ ery grower advocates the law for everybody but himself,” he sald, witl. “But some would tike spe ort | |(-|nl privilege and a chance to pe: |lholr fruit, green or not, in the mar j ket before the other fellow.”-—Tam ra Times. l ————— | NEAT MOTOR BONNET. | | The first requisite of & winter motoring bonnet is warmth—and a snug fit so that the wind may not creep underneath and nip the ears.

Paris is generous in statues erected to her heroes. Voltaire, for instance, 18 honored with four memorials. There 5 are two to Diderot, of “Dictionaire Encyclopedique” fame. The haughty .f but melancholy profile of the poet Al- fred de Musset is to be seen in three places. Jeanne d'Arc has four statues. Lamartine, statesman, poet and revo- lutionist, has two efigies. | FROM JUDGE. He looked like a gentleman gone to A complete reccrd of the ripening | seed. Though patched and frayed-as ot fruit on twenty-five trees, in dif- | 0 clothing, he was immaculate both in dress and person. He sat upon the kitchen doorstep, shelling peas. His expression betokened reconciled des- pair. “Be so kind,” he said meekly, but emphatically, “as not to utter the werd club to me, sir. The induce- ments that could tempt me to join any kind of association whatever do mot exist.” Before saying more, he glanced ap- prehensively over his shoulder. Then he explained in a low tone: “To clubs are due all my misfor- tunes; and I endure sufficient, I as- sure you. When I was a young man— and that seems centuries ago—this village passed through an epidemic of clubs. How or why the pestilence broke out, no one knows. But sud- denly every one was forning them, Joining them, canvassing for them. There was the Farmers' club, the Housewives' club, the Card club, the Glee club and a score of others. Ev- ery -organization had its badge, and some of my neighbors proudly wore five or six. “At that time I was just young enouch to know all about life, and 1 was certain that it offered no prize like personal liberty. Consequently 1 was a confirmed bachelor—and rather prone to boast of it, I fear. My asso- ciates were all young men who pro- claimed loudly that they scorned the female sex. Fach had been most cruclly rejected by some false-hearted charmer, and when they organized the Bachelors' club the receipt of one re- chasing elsewhere. patronage appreciated. Jection at least was made a qualifica- | tion for memberchin. 1 was eager to Join, tut this excluded me. “’Isn't there a way to get around the rele?

Don't try to get around it-—just quadiiy.’ “*Propose to gome one?” ““Corfainly.’ “‘Suppose I am acepted? “*You needn’t be afraid of that,' he rephiod: then, noticing my look, lame- IV added, ‘soleet seme one who doesn't lite vor, 1 mean.
