F HOW RUBE WOULD BROADEN THE CITRUS FRUIT MARKET Recently the Telezram had some- thing to say about broadening the market for Florida citrus fruits and suggested that the sales to the ul- timate consumer miglit be increased by lowering the price. Rube Allyn, of the Sarasota Sun, Who is philoso- pher as well as humorist, and shrewd thinker as well as good story -teller, quotes our article and adds this, which carrles an ohvious ' point: “We rise to make these few re- marks because a prominent citizen of Sarasota has discovered how the market can be broadened without reducing the price. Our Owen Burns, who would rather make a dollar pursuing an idea of his own than a hundred pursuing some oth- er fellows’ game decided when the price of citrus fruits went to the dogs, that there were just scads of felluv.s who had nothing but money cenled about their person up . it walBBESaim at. the ‘al+ lurlm chance of buying oranges and grapefruit in full crates direct | from the grower, who would not look at the cheap offerings of the same kind of fruit on the Dago stands for sale at the knock-down price of two for-five—and so he ad- vertised it in the magazines and, newspapers to that effect recently. He has only started his cnmpnlgn,‘ but already he has sold 600 crates at $4.50 per crate. This is one way of broadening the market. The Citrus Exchange has another way which is very important and that is ¢o have specialists to instruct con- sumers how to prepare and eat grapefruit. Every big manufac. turer of new varieties of breakfast foods has found demonstrators nec- essary, and our grocery stores are visited constanty 'by these special- Jsts. change and they will be able to send out a staff of educators that will make grapefruit culture the profitable horticultural product in the United States because cle Sam’s domain. The tion in the State, and profitable results for trick would be to make the change brand identical with demonstration.” e The Palatka News strongly re- sents the intimation in some of the State papers that the Confederate veterans in State reunion next fall in Palatka will not receive a whole- souled welcome and that the invi- tation to them to meet there was more perfunctory than cordial, Con. cluding its article on the subject, the News Says: “But a word of explanation may be best. Palatka was selected as the place of the next State reunion without the knowledge of any local organization. All Palatkans knew of the coming convention was what they saw in the papers of the State! “that Palatka had been selected as the place of the next annual re- union.” Of course these old Vet. erans knew the Palatka spirit when they selected thig city. Tt is enough to say that they will not be disap- pointed.” e The Orlando Reporter-Star denies that credit attaches to the State railroad commission for its recent order that the short line mileage shall control in making rates, and €ays that rule has become automa - tic by reason of competitive condi- tions. That paper also rises to re. mark: “But we should like to inquire at this juncture what has become of the long and short haul act? That law was left in the hands of the railroad commission for enforcement more than a year ago. If the com~ mission is not going to enforce the faw, is it not due the public that some explanation be made concern- ing the commission’s failure to do so0?” SIS TN Former Governor Gilchrist re- affirms his purpose to be a candidate for the United States Senate to suc- ceed Senator Bryan, and the Punta Gorda Herald, contemplating the prospect, concludes tnat there will be “oceans” of politics to divert us In the mear future, and of a turbu- lent kind. It is hard to associate .the idea of turbulence with Albert W. Gilchrist. He is a genial and charming gentleman and his in. stfpet is to pour oil en all troubled Waters.t We i BAitert W May you live lon> and nrosrer and yay your shadow never erow less, swhether your get to the Senate or - e Mg i . 2,50 1.25] Let every grower join the Ex. most Florida ‘has a monopoly of the supply in Un- Exchange is the only co operative organiza- to secure Florida the Ex< the Contrary to his usual custom, King George did not forward the | Kaiser a telegram of congratulation on his birthday Thursday.

For the larger employers labor or for the smaller ones, the use of these preventives among their employees is much the most economical use of the sick ! fund. The average expense at- tending an attack of typhoid | fever, for instance, is close to $3500.00. This includes the loss of time, proper medical treat- ment, nursing, specially ddaptedl fnl)d: and other demands ueat- ed by the disease which do not exist without it. The cost of the anti-typhoid treatment—the pre- ventive treatment—which left not a single death from this dxs- ease in the United States Army in 1913, is less than one per cent. of this $500.00 The prevention of smailpox costs so little as to be negligble, and a century of practice has demonstrated its certainty. Another cost the employer i |the interruption to service caused by sickness. How much | does it cost to “break in” a new man, no matter how expert he may be in general, to do the work of the skilled laborer in any department? Every employer must figure it out for himself but each knows without figuring that it is not small. § It is wholly within the author- ity of every employer to insist on the use of discase preventives by laborer. It may be made a condition femployment. The United States Army, re- quires every soldier to take the anti-typhoid treatment, and authorities insst on vacci- {nation against smallpox. Economists everywhere recog- nize in disease, slight, serious or epidemic, the greatest foe to in- dustrial progress. This fact was recognized under the system of slavery in this country, and the phyysical condition of every slave was most carefully guard- ed. The modern principle that pre- ivention is better than cure is gaining recognition. It is of far-reaching importance—cco- nomic importance, pocketbook importance—to every employer in Florida. It is worth the while of every one of them to ston and consider its personal application to the conditions that h must meet.
