The meeting will beyzin' in the forenoon at a number of interesting matters will be discussed. This meeting {comes as the second chapter of the 2athering in Ocala during the past week, where many matters of im- portance to the State were talked over. Manager H. S. Kealhofer of the Board of Trade traffic bureau stated yesterday that the Ocala meeting developed a number of fea- tures connected with the better pro- tection of the vegetable industry in Florida. The transportation lines are called into the conference, he says, owing to the fact that they are vitally interested in making the iindutry of trucking profitable in this State. The meeting held in Ocala was a special gathering of the farmuers and truck growers with the Marion County Board of Tarde. 10 o'clock and NEW RAILROAD SCHEME TO INCREASE TRAFFIC Chicago, Sept. 1.—The ‘“See American First” campaign conduct- ed by the railroads of the United States is bringing results. Travel |over the western lines this year is {well above expectations, accordine jto J. H. Hiland, vice president tcharge of passenger trafic of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. Mr. Hiland asserts that the first class travel over the St. Paul line to the Pacific Northwest, as well as to the near-by resorts in northern‘, Wisconsin, has been good. I “The fact that passenger earinzs on the St. Paul and other western lines show an increase for the fiscal year just closed speaks well of the increased travel over the country,”' said Mr. Hiland. “Another notice- ! able feature is that the increased ' travel is on the first-class tickets, as there has not been so much of the colonist or second-ctass travel this summer. This may be taken to mean that Americans are leurning of the scenic spots of this continent | and are exhibiting a desire to see, them. go into effect LHIOHBAOHEHONSHOEHOH B BAON M0N0 B oo e A0 BCHEOHERCH BAOBHOH B O New School Books i Lakeland’s Public Schools will open September 14th The New State Adopted Books BLUES are popular all the year round.
