The total shipments to date since September 15, 1914, are 24,159 cars. Last week'e movement consitted of 404 cars of grapefruit and 301 cars of oranges. A large percentage of the oranges now leaving the state are of the Val- encia variety. They are of a fine qulity and as this variety will hang on the tree late in the season be- fore they lose their juice the grow- ers are not anxious at the present rising condition of the market to rush their fruit to market and ship- ments are moving gradually. Both the oranges and grapefruit market continues to remain strong and the demand fully equals the supply that is now moving. It is estimated that there still re- mains in the state from 800,000 to 1,000,000 boxes of citrus fruit. It is believed by those interested in the deal that for the rest of the sason there will be fair prices and the shipments out of the state will {about equal the demand. The orange bléom is very heavy throughout the state. Some growers |state that it s the heaviest bloom in | years and up to the present time it |is sticking; there is every prospect ithat trees will hold the heavy bloom. The grapefruit bloom does not appear as heavy as the orange but there is a prospect of a large grapefruit crop. The groves have put on a fine growth both as to foliage and wood, the growth not being equaled in years. The ma- jority of the groves throughout the state are in better shape than ever before.—Ocala Banner. | says | | An Anti-Suffrage Viewpoint. Gaylor (in cafe dansant)—“There's my wite!

Carvajol's reputation as a runner in the United States is based upon his feat in finishing fourth in the Olympic Marathon held in St. Louis in 1904. Al- though defeated by Thomas Hicks, Alfred Corey, and A. L. Newton, all under American colors, the Cuban ran a wonderful race when handicaps are considered and had the honor of being the first of the foreign entrants to finish. Previous to the race Caravajol was a mail carrier in Cuba, who jogged over his route at a steady and apparently tireless trot. He first attracted attention when he ran the length of the island in re- R R RN R B atkable e A% & irosit of tim tourney was played at the Chicago feat a few friends raised enough money to send him to the United States for the Marathon in connec- tion with the Olympic Games of 1904. Carvajol landed in New York with just enough money to pur chase meals not realizing that SL' Louis was not a part of New York City. In order to reach the scene of the race he was obliged to spend his food fund and arrived in St. Slouis without a penny. He had not eaten for two days previous to the race which he ran in heavy street shoes, a colorless cotton shirt and his only pair of trousers, cut offt at the knees. Without assistance or an at- tendant the unknown Cuban dog- trotied along the . course stopping frequently to beg food and water from the spectators. At one point he spent fully an hour in a road- side apple orchard. Despite these delays Caryajol finished in fourth place, the freshest of all the run- ners. It was the general opinion that had he been properly attended and coached he would have won the 1904 Olympic easily. The first day of May is marked in an athletic sense by an unusual number of important amateur and professional contests in all parts of the country.
