Europe's misfortune is our opportunity and yet there are thousands of men in this country who seem to think that the war over there is giving us as well as Europe the knockout blow. Of course we largely lose the Euro- pean market, but with_no European industries to compete with us, the difference ig nearly if not quite made up to us. And then therc are the teeming millions of South America, shut off from Europe, and willing to trade with us if we go after them. o. For the first time in Florida or in the entire South the new method of recalling public servants with whom a certain per cent of the voters were dissatisfied, was tried out in Pensa- cola the other day and it didn’t re- call worth a cent. Thc recallers were after the scalps of Mayor Greenhut and one of the city com- missioners who hadn’t succeeded in pleasing everybody; the recall peti- tions were circulated and got the necessary per cent of signatures; the recallers put up a ticket of their own and the election tuok place last Thursday, and both the mayor and the commissioner were re-elect- ed by large majorities. The recall system is all right, but that’s no sign it is going to work the way the recallers want it to when it is tried on. o—— The Clearwater Sun is fully com- mitted to a system of trunk high- ways for Florida, built of brick, which will cost the taxpayers about $50,000,000 according to estimates of those who claim to know: but the dear Sun roasts continually and withcut mercy the rest of us who are willing that Florida should ‘have an exhibit at San Francisco raised by means that won’t cost the taxpayers a cent. Of course we make no comparison hetween brick roads and a Frisco exhibit, for you can’t compare things unlike, but as both are good things, and the iatter costs the taxpayers nothing, while the price of the former puts them out of reach in the present stage of the State's development, we con’t sec the point to denouncing one and boosting the other. FERECICY AR Better material on our juries is our only hope for the punishment of criminals in this country through the courts. Commenting on a re- cent paragraph in the Telegram on the murder industry in the United States, the Ocala Star adds: “Very true. But if you were no- tified to serve on a jury, you would get excused if you could. So would almost any other good citizen. The other day, we heard a highly intel- ligent and fair-minded man say he wouldnt serve on a jury in a mur- der case; that he would say at the outset he had formed an opinion. Yet we know him well enough to know he couMlt form an opinion that couldn’t be changed by evi- dence—that he wouldn’t dare to find a man g uilty unless he was absolutely convinced of {it. /This class of men leaves jury duty as far as it can to the bum-de-lally ele- ment, and the murder crop is the result.” i We congratulate St. Petersburg upon her new railroad, the Tampa and Gulf Coast, the completion of which she celebrates today wtih a grand public blowout including free speech, free grub, moist goods and all the other etcetera. And we also congratulate Charley Brown, presi- dent of the road, to whose business sagacity and indefatigable energy and optimism the success of the en- terprise is so largely due. Mr. Brown is a native Florida pro- duct and a mighty smart man of affairs with a razor edge of his in- telligence, and he can spct a good joke and a good scheme to develop the, it of modern progress is among the livest wires in the State and he is one of the big, controlling factors in jts development. The people who pick out the most inferior types of our native people and judge all the others by them simply don’t know anything about the Florida cracker and their testimony is as worthless as it is prejudiced. o BASEBALL SCHEDULE 4 Monday, Sept. 21 Tampa at St. Petersburg.

To all Creditors, Legatees, Distributees and all Persons Having Claims or Demands Against sald estate: You, and each of you, are hereby notified and required to present any claims and de- mands which you, or either of you, may have ngainst the estate of Albert J.

ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER: A GUARANTEED TREATMENT “I have arranged with Henley & Henley so that every sufferer fronf Asthma, Hay Fever or Bronchial Asthma in Lakeland can try my treatment entirely at my risk,” Dr. Rudolph Schiffmann announces. He says: ‘“Buy a 50-cent package of my Asthmador or Asthmador Cigarettes, try it, and if it does not afford you immediate relief, or if you do not find it the best remedy you have ever used, take it back to Henley & Henley's and they will raturn your money, cheerfully and without ques- tion whatever. After seeing the grateful relief it has afforded in hun- dreds of cases, which had been con- sidered incurable, and which had been given up in despair, I know what it will do. I am so sure that it will do the same with others that I am not afraid to guaranteeg it will relieve instantaneously. The drug- gists handling Asthmador will re- turn your money if you say so. You are to be the sole judge and under this positive guarantee, absclutely no risk is run in buying Asthma- dor.” Persons living elsewhere will be supplied under the same guarantee by their local druggist or direct by Dr. R. Schiffmann, St. Paul, Minn. 3060 COMFORTING WORDS Many a Lakeland Household Till Find Them So To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed—to he entirely free from annoying, dangerous uri- nary disorders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following advice of one who has suffered will prove comforting words hundreds Lakeland readers. W. L. Finger, 405 Vermont Ave., Lakeland, says: “I was bo:hered by having to get up at night, not be- ing able to control the Kkidney se- cretions. The secretions were dis- colored and contained sediment.* I noticed soreness across my back, just over my Kkidneys. 1 got a sup- ply of Doan's Kidney Pills at Hen- ley & Henley’s Drug Store and be- gan taking them. 1 was curprised how quickly I got relief and before long I was cured. I like to tell peo- ple about Doan’s Kidney Pills.” Price 50c¢, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Finger had. Fecster-Mil- burn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. to of Governor Aids In Fight On Citrus Canker To the Citizens oLf Florida: Recently there appeared in the southeastern portion of the State a dangerous and insidious foe to the great citrus fruit industry of Flor- ida, known as the citrus canker. Fortunately this disease has yet infected only a small area in the citrus belt. It is confidently be- lieved that by concerted and intel- ligent work the pest can be prevent-; ed from spreading beyond the terri- | tory it has already reached and that within a s hort time the disease can be entirely eradicated. The people of the infected region are thorough- ly aroused and ably orgauized to fight this pest. The State inspector of nursery stock and others are ren- dering valuable skilled and s cien- tific aid in an effort to exterminate the citrus canker, and the problem has now resolved itself largely into one o f securing sufficient funds to keep a force of skilled fighters in the field to combat and counquer this foe to our groves. I have today applied one thous- and dollargs of the State’s funds placed at my disposal for contin- gencies, to aid in this fight. To my regret no other - State funds are available for this purpose. In my message to the last Legislature, 1 recommended that it appropriate $3,000 a year for use in ‘‘stamping out and preventing the spread of e S e e e e e R - NOTICE OF INTENTION TO APPLY FOR CHARTER OF A CORPORATION, NOT FOR PROFIT The undersigned persons hereby give notice that on the llth day of September, A. D. 1914, they will apply to the Hon. F. A. Whitney, judge of the circuit court in and for the 10th judicial circult of the State of Flor- ida, at Arcadia, Florida, or where else he may be, for a charter for a corporation, not for profit, to be known as the Polk County Agricultural Society. The object of such cor- poration being to promote the agricultural, horticultural and Kkindred interests of Polk County Florida and to hold an agricultural fair annually, at Lakeland in sald county, and to do such other acts as may be con- ducive to the success of such objects.

While the citrus canker is today only within a limited area, it will, § unless socn checked, gradually spread and become a real menace tu the whole great citrus f ruit sec- tion. It is a matter in which ev- ery citizen in the citrus belt is vit- ally interested, and is of oreat con- cern to all the people of Florida. That active and concerted work may be continued until the citrus canker is entirely extermirated, and our great citrus industry protected, I most earnestly appeal to the cixi-i zens of the State and most especial- ly to those in the grove sections, to rally to the aid and relief of oOu. fellows citizens in the infected sec- tion and give them all possible as- sistance. This matter is one of such impor-| tance that it is worthy of immedian" attention and helpful activity by the varous commercia]l organiza- tions of the State, as well as by all persons and those organizations in- terested chiefly in the growing and marketing of citrus fruits. I trust that an active campaign for raising the funds necessary to combat the threatened danger to one of the State’s greatest industries will be immediately inaugurated. For information relative to the citrus canker and the financial needs to eradicate the diseare, com- municate with Dr. E. W. Berger, State nursery inspector, Gaines- ville, Fla.

Section 5.
