Boyd, President of the Winter Hav- en Water, Ice and Light Company. Through the combined efforts of these gentlemen they have perfected the best system to be found in the entire country. This system is used to dry the citfus fruit after it has been washed. The drying process is done by blowing hot air over the fruit as it passes through the dry- ing box. It is, the simplest and most economical system yet devised and is *attracting attention of experts throughout the country. An ordin- ary furpace with pipes running through like the tubes in a boiler. The heat used s supplied by a crude oil burner, using fuel oil, the cheap- est known fuel today. The installa- tion of the system is by far the cheapest of all systems in use. Tt uses the theapest fuel with practic- ally no labday attached and does away with the dirt and filth sp ob- noxious in alt other systems. Last week a delegation of ten rep- resentative growers from Arcadia visited the exchange | here especially for the purpose of seeing this drying system and the other methods employed in handling of fruit and general rangements of the Winter Haven Exchange.

There are now about twenty-five who will go from Jack- sonville, and it is hoped with the rally meeting on Thursday night and the effort that will be put forth during the next week that-the Jack- soncville delegation will reach the fifty mark.

Some of the delegates from the eities and towns in West Florida are planning to come to Jackson- ville in the special car from here, and all of the West Florida de) ~ gates are being invited to join the Jacksonville delegation.

By foreign foe we are endangered, and booze, like some flerce dog enmangered, is raising hob at home; it toils not, and keeps men from toiling, and keeps them hot with useless broil- ing, as they blow off the foam. We're running short of ammunition because our workingmen's condition recalls the old D. T.; the provoca- tion now seems ample, and so I'll set a good example—no long cold drinks for me.” ’'Tis thus with all the warring nations; they're finding out that liquid rations are fruitful of despair, far more than all the swords that slaughter, the submar-| ines down under water, the airships in the air. In Russia now no vod- ka's flowing; we see the thirsty imoujiks going to tap the helpful 'well; France, the volatile and merry, ibited the old ‘“‘green fairy” that sent her sons to hell.
