Being out of the water district, the ; firemen were compelled to stand by ! and see the house burn to the| ground.

The gift by a bank of a pure.bred hog to a patron not only keeps the bank's name permanently in the mind of the patron, but supplies the means. through the increase from the hog, for an increase in the business with the bank. What about the enthusiasm and the co operation promired some few months ago when a demonstration was made to som? of our people with regard to the splendid work done by the Boys' Corn Club and the Girle’ Canning Club. 1t is about time for those enthusiasts and that co opera- tion to get in touch with County Demonstrator Lewis and Directress Miss Verda Thompson. It is not so much what is produced in this sec~ tion of Florida but what can be produced as demonstrated by the boys and girls of Polk county farm. ers and it is a highly interesting fact, as showing the value and prac- ticability of this work, that the fa- thers of some of these boys and girls admit that since the activity of the latter in demonstrating what can be done on a small tract the men are obtaining much larger yields of the same, and also other crops, than be It will pay every person interested in the agricultural development of this section to take an active personal interest in this work of the Boys’| Corn Club and th Girls’ Canning Club. | 5 LAUNDRY OWNERS’ CONVENTION | - O 1 Biriningham, March 8.—City Judge Miller held i # decree issuet today that the new stife law pro- hibiting the circulation of \periodi - cals containing liquor advertise - ments, was not enforcible until af- ter July 1, when state.wide prohi bition becomes operative.

BUFFALO FEDS TRAINING Athens, Ga., March 8.—The Buf - flalo Federals here today went into camp at Athens, Ga., on March 8, arrangements calling for work by the pitching staff. In addition to disputed players, whose addresses may be determined by court de. cisfons, the Buffalo Feds have added “Jack” Dalton, an outflelder, who batted .319 for the Brooklyn Na- tionals last season and Hugh Bedi. ent, erstwhile Red Sox pitching star. Larry Schafly had a smooth combi - nation in the closing weeks of the first Federal campaign, and with a slugging outfielder and a dependable pitcher added to a staff which in- cludes the league's most effective pitcher, Russell Ford, the Buffeds will begin the season with hopes for an active part in the pennant fight.

It was said by some officials that the note contained the strongest representa. tion ever made Carranza.
