The writer went through and carefully inspected a ten-acre orange and grapefruit grove in the suburbs of Lakeland a few days ago and the trees almost without excep- tion were heavily loaded, and, as the manager of the grove remarked, they carried nearer a crop and a half than a half crop. I S The fact that Ambassador Wilson has been summoned to Washington to confer with the president about' the Mexican situation, indicates that our government may soon take some decided step to protect American lives and property in that unhappy republic. If Teddy were in the sad- dle we might have war but with the wise, cool clear-headed and unexcit.- | able president we now have there is | little danger of armed intervention ' with its Imost endless trin of evils to affect us for years to come. A TR One of the worst rain storms of the season visited the city at four o'clock tnis afternoon, and the down- pour was so terrific that water was soon pouring into the rear of the business houses whose floors were on 8 level with the street. The water rose at the back ol the Evening Tele gram office and the comnoslngl room was two or three inches deep i water within a few minutes. | Boxes and boards were brought into ' commission, and as the employes floated about on these improvised pleces of flooring, wishing for a fish- iazg line and boat, just ready to go to press, and say “Oh, you Telegram building,” which would indicate that it wouldn’t have come in amiss this aftérnoon. The St. Petersburz chief of po- lice sjeaks with brutal frankness and says that no decent woman would wear a slit skirt and he won’t allow any exposures of that kind on the streets of his city. Our own fnvincible modesty would compel us to walk several blocks out of the way to avoid the shocking revelation of one of those things to which the chief refers; but it is not nearly so far a cry from the present conven- tional garb of young ladies to the Blit skirt as it was from the femi- nine styles of a few years ago to the diaphanous and abbreviated sartor- fal loveliness we observe without even wincing on the streets of ev- ery American community today. Hence we opine aht it {s more a mat- ter of custom than decency, and when our unaccustomed masculine eyes get used to this slit affair the shocks will cease and we will accept it as regular. But looking deeper into the slit skirt we foresee its early doom because it is utterly in- artistic and intolerably vulgar. It might survive its wickedness, but never its offence to art, for without art there can be no charm and with- out charm no fad or fashlon for the fair gex will have more than a brief, tentative life. ERARAIY N LR Irvin Cobb, that delightful writer who makes several millions of Amer- fean citizens laugh whenever he ‘“opens up” in the Saturday Even- ing Post, would do well to keep away from California for some years to come. In the last issue of the Post Mr. Cobb writes up his recent trip to that State and refers to Bouthern California as “next best &pot on the map to Florida.” Such noble loyalty to truth is beyond all praiee, but when the Los Angeles bunch read those words they "uwl red” and the name of Irvin Cobd be-l | &:neral, fecretary of the Kansas Re- | "investigation o — TR over the possession of Ko. rea. 1910—Germany ordered the expul- sion of twenty-one Mormon missionaries. 1912—Two East Side gunmen ar- rested in New York in con- nection with the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gam- bler.
