“Popularity of fruit juice drinks
Appears to be sweeping the country.
’Vernon Hill returned last week from
Chicago and said that everywhere he
found orange and grapefruit drinks
being served over the counters.
They serve grapefruit drinks now
from fountains In syrup form, ani
it seems to make an ideal mixer,
people are using it where they form

“The question' is being asked.
%ben is the Valley going to get into
this new business and bring new
^capital and industry to the section?"
A * *
This is a question In Our Valley
has been asking with great regular
ity for the past several months.
Grapefruit juice is becoming one
the most popular beverages of
the country. The demand for it far
exceeds the supply, according to re
ports.
This offers a splendid outlet for
culls—it means larger profits from
each crop.
Somebody is going to make a good

WASHINGTON .Sept. 30—
(AP)—The weather bureau to

coast. Tropical storm Central

JACKSONVILLE. Fla., Sept. 30.—
OP}—Northern Florida and the tiny
strip of Alabama coast on the Gulf
of Mexico prepared today for the
advent of the tropical storm which
swept northwestward after rounding
the Florida peninsula from the Ba
hamas islands.
Predictions from the government
weather bureau that the storm
would strike with hurricane inten
sity somewhere between Apalachi
cola, Fla., and the Mississippi coast,
caused the populace to take pre
cautions.
Rising winds and falling baromet
ers were noted along the shore line
from Apaachicola to Pensacola, afod
communications were disrupted in
to the Apalachicola area. Unoffi
cial estimates said a 40-mile wind
was blowing, with occasional rain
squalls.
Distressed Shipping
Meanwhile, distressed shipping,
left in the wake of the Behaman
hurricane, held a prominent place m
the spotlight, with rescue craft
speeding thnJUgh the stormy At
lantic. Their destinations were the
Italian steamer Salina, aground off
Manzanillo reef,-the Danish steam
er Scandia. a wreck off the Ba
hamas. and the British freighter
Domlra, which ran aground off
great Abaco last Tuesday.
Wireless messages related the
rescue of 28 men from the steam
ship Wisconsin bridge near Great
Abaco, and said five men had been
taken from the Scandia before
rough water compelled a half until
daylight. Other messages told that
the steamer Bahamian, first believ
ed lost, was safe in Nassau and that
the tanker Garnet Hidings had
been extricated by the tide from
Shoals near Gun Cay. There was no
word of the isle of June which left
Miami the day before the hurricane
for Nassau. *
No distress was reported from
ships In the Gulf of Mexico as the
storm center moved up from the
tip of Florida.
Minor uamage
Minor damage was Inflicted to the
lower west coast as the gale from
the storm center at sea swept a
gradually diminishing blow from
Cape Sable north. Citrus fruits in
the section below Punta Gorda suf
fered some losses. -
Key West remained isolated ex
cept for boats, both the overseas
railway of the Florida east coast
and the overseas state highway be
ing out. The railway was washed
out above Marathon and the high
way broken at Pine Key.
A wrecking crew reported there
was one'death from the storm at
Harathon. but reports that a wo
man and her two ' children had
drowned could not be verified be
cause of lack of communication and
transportation. Debris littered many
of the keys that lay in the path of
the storm, but Key West escaped
with little losses.
Nassau Lashed
At .homestead, 30 mile* below
Miami, water i loaded the streets and
the Sheriff took charge of the sit
uation. together with relief work
ers who took food and water into
the city. Florida city and other set
tlements were reported in the same
conditions as homestead.
There was no further word from
Nassau. Bahaman capful, where
the hurricane apparently halted its
center and lashed the city for more
than two days, causing enormous
destruction and taking many lives.
Tampa and St. Petersburg, large
west coast cities, escaped with mod
erately high winds when the storm
center passed them about 135 miles
at sea. No serious damage was re
ported.
