Miss Jones also delivered her own essay on “Charity,” which was a splendid eftort, indeed, and was enjoyed by all present. Miss Doris Wells was the next speaker, her essay being on “Home Influence.” She emphasized the jw- portance of making home life so pieasant and congenial that the clild would look there for the great- > part of his entertainment, nud of 1ruinin;; the children in the rigkt and proper manner, and then the icacher would not have the unolwas- antness that sometimes aris:s be- wicir arms bouquets o froses, say of ton” couge the home influence is not what| raould be. A splendidly delivered address was that delivered by vho Hobson Strain for his subject, “Boys: 3 » Men.” He declared that a boy ! should so live as to claim the re-; spect and regard of all with whom came in contact and should re- mr:mh(‘r that he was to manaz2 the irs of the country at no distant te and prepare for that all ime- portant time. “The Girl Question” was ably han- dled by Miss Helen Shaffer, \uo really gave all girls some <')"n!d advice when she said they should remain girls as lonz as possible, give more attention to the duties of home- tuilding and at the same time keep n\" good company and improving and usefv) lines rather than frittering the mo- ments away idly and foolishly. “International Arbitration” s rother a larze subject, but Anrelo Raymondo proved fully capable of dieenssing it intelligently and in a manner which showed that he hud given much thought to this impori| tant question.

To think noble thoughts and do good deeds will surely bring reward and that by do- ing these things oue cannot but see vthem reflected in the face. “True Courtesy” was ably bhan- ded by J, C. McClendon, who em- phasized the fact that a boy can pever make a mistake vy belng kind ar:d courteous at all times. He said chat in the business world that a peison’s greatest asset was his kind- iy wanner and that one should al- ‘ays do more along that line—it ucver fails to pay. woss Virginia Lulsey gave a very worehensive cssay on the Semi- aules, and wien she had finished a!l v.ere more informed regarding thess mieresiing people who are now only 12 be found in the lower part of the State, Miss Sadie Klausmier spoke on ‘Our ieathered Friends,” and made . very splendid appeal for the pro- tection and preservation of the birds, ohe told of the good they do, of the iittle harm they do and even put in a good word for the chicken hawk.

Many members are disturbed over the outcome of the effort that is going to Le made to change the present immature fruit shipping bill. One of the most Interested coun- ties in Putnam and both the mcm= bers, Mr. Middleton and Mr. Russell, are giving earuest attention to the calls from home, Mr. Middlcton is chairman of the conunittee, and he is himself a citrus grower, Nr. Rusgell lives at C which ships a larger grapefruit than any other sin:le st tion on that line of road. Crescens City is in fact a citrus fruit town, that being its sole industry. It is 1so thought by fone to be the pret= tlest city in the State. It is right in the heart of a fertile country es- pecially adapted to gplendid growth of citrus fruits, an:! all kinds grow there in plenty and to great perfection. Mr. Rustcll has received a letter from cre ot Lis most iniducn- tial constituents, who is a grower of oranges, tangerines and grapee fruit, which may be of interest to & large number of growers for the reason that it expresses at this time a popular view. The letter comes from B. H. Willian.s, as follows: “My Dear Ruseell: I have your lct= ter of the 26th inst. We all feel you will do what is possible to have the growers' wishes carricd out, rather than those cf gpeculators and operators who would start large quantities of green stuff, doing in- leulable injury to the Florida cite rus industry if they c¢ We do nct want extreme measures, hut we do want a law sufficiently strong to make those fellews stop that prace tice. It is a fact that those working for a law so mild it will mean noth- ing, are the offenders in the past, They are the speculators. No need to mention them by name; you know them. But among the growers themselves the need of stopping green fruit shipments is fully recoge nized now. Where there was much fecoling a year ago, on both sides, the sentiment at Tampa of represen- tative growers from all parts of the State was practically unanimoua, Thanking you very much for your ctter and your interest in the mate ter, I am sincerely yours, “K.
