Buyers Are Thronging
Wholesale Markets
To Buy Goods For
Fall Sales
HEW YORK, Aug. (SV- A
•onsoiidation of recovery gains was
noted Friday by Dun <Sc Bradstreet
lr. the weekly review of trade
“Recovery took a firmer grip on
most divisions of trade during the
week, with the unusual mid-sum
mer upturn expected to gam mo
mentum until reinforced by the
nccmal fall rise." it was stated.
“As retailers’ stocks in most parts
of the country have been depleted,
buyers thronged wholesale markets
in the largest numbers recorded at
some centers in more than five years
for the season.
“More comfortable temperatures
insulted in wider Increases being set
down for retail sales, as industrial
operations broadened and fanners'
buying power expanded."
The gain for the country over
1M*. was estimated at 12 to 40 per
cent in the retail field.
“As cooler weather permitted
many buyers to make trips to the
markets which were postponed In
July, the number of visitors at some
of the leading centers reached the
highest total recorded for the period
in four or five years." the review
frda
Where trade shows and mer
chants’ conventions were in session,
registrations established new peaks.
’’Encouraged by the practical
depletion of Inventories of summer
merchandise and cheered by the j
Improvement in the outlook during!
the past month, commitments for
fall exceed those of a year ago by
15 tc 20 per cent"
In the manufacturing end of busi
ness it was stated, “most Industrial
divisions extended previous gains
dvrtrg the week, the rise in steel j
production and the higher schedules
•booted by manufacturers of farm
equipment, hardware, paints, and;
some of the textile branches off
setting the temporary slackening In i
th automotive industries."

Text: Daniel 1:8-20.
The International Uniform Sun
day School Lesson for August 11.
By WM. E. GILROY. D. D.
Editor of Advance
Daniel is remembered through the
ages as a man of unswerving, con
scientious conviction — a man who
"purposes In his heart" and who
cannot be moved by any threat of
pain or penalty, or by any offer of
reward.
Such men stand far above the lev
el of a dally life that for most people
Is motivated by lesser considerations
of selfishness or self-interest. Nev
ertheless, it Is Interesting to realize
how many men and women of the
spirit and type of Daniel have ap
peared in the course of history, and
how many are found even in the
ordinary occupations of life today.
It is useless for a man to build his
life upon high purpose unless he is
willing, also, to subject himself to
rigid discipline. A man of flabby,
unhealthy constitution who gives
way to ease and self-indulgence may
make high profession of righteous
ness and idealism, but he is not go
ing to get very far along the up
ward path.

Florida to Try New
Market Plans With
Opening of Season
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN. Aug. 9.—When the
next citrus fruit season opens In
Florida culls are going to be called
culls and not unclassified.
This provision to call a spade a
spade is but one item among many
of interest In the mass cf new laws
passed by the Florida legislature
since last spring and copies of which
have been received by the Texas
Federal inspection service here.
Much of the new legislation was
designed to remove control of the
Industry from federal to state au
thorities as much as possible espec
ially in view of the uncertain future
of marketing agreements sponsored
by the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration. Under the new legis
lative set-up, the control machinery
can be made either to function alcce
or in co-operation with federal agen
cies.
The Florida legislature passed one
bill designed to “stabilise and pro
tect the citrus industry of the state
... and providing fcr the creation of
a Florida Citrus Commission.” This
commission will control the Indus
try. It is to be composed of eleven
practical citrus fruit men, resident
citizens cf Florida, each of whom is
or has been actively engaged in
growing or growing and shipping
citrus fruit in Florida lor five years
Immediately preceding his appoint
ment and received his major Income
therefrom. The commissioners will
; serve two years. One representative
will be named each from six of the
seven districts created by the iaw.
two from the seventh district and
three from the state at large.
The districts will be made up of
the following counties: No. 1—Hills
borough, Pinellas and Manatee. No.
2—Citrus, Sumter, Lake, Hernando,
Pasco. No. 3—Alachua, Putnam, St.
John’s, Flagler, Volusia, Marion,
I Levy and Seminole. No. 4—Orange,
Osceola. No. 5—Brevard. Indian Riv
er, St. Lucie, Martin, Palm Beach,
j Broward and Dade. No. 6—Sarasota,
Hardee, Highlands, Okeechobee,
Glades, DeSoto, Charlotte, Lee, Hen
dry, Collier Monroe. No. 7—Polk.
The commission will have the pow
er to establish grades and designate
standard containers fcr citrus fruits,
j tagging, marking, etc. Name and ad
dress of the person marketing the
fruit, grade, quality, type, variety or
size, and or the quality, type, size,
weight, content dimension or shape
of containers may be regulated.
The inspection of fruit will be
under Jurisdiction cf the state com
missioner rather than of federal In
spectors. Where labels brands, etc.,
represent standard grades, these
may be filed with the commission
er.
Carriers may not accept fruit for
shipment that has not met require
ments of the new laws. Repacking
and remarking also Is forbidden.
Fruit that is exempt Includes that
Is for relief, cr for commercial pro
cessing.
An assessment of one cent a stand
ard package will be made to defray
expense* of administering the law.
Violations of the law subject the vio
lator to a fine not to exceed *500
or Imprisonment not to exceed 90
days. A violator may be both fin
ed and Jailed.
In addition to the law creating
the citrus commission, Florida has
a much strengthened maturity law.
AD fruit marketed between Aug. 31
and Dec 1 mus* meet maturity law
reoulrements. The Juice content re
quirements for eTa^efrult have been
Increased as follows.

A third Florida law provides for
re<u’laflon of the addition of eolcr to
fruit bv prohibiting the application
of anv coloring that Is hurtful to eat
in ~ aualitv of the fruit or makes ft
unfit f'r human consumption. Such
coloring matter must first be approv
ed by the state. Manufacture of col
oring matter is licensed and a $5,000
bond must be put up. Coloring mat
ter may be applied only to oranges
meeting the maturity law require
ments. A fee of cne-half cent a box
is assessed for Inspection of fruit
to which color has been added.
The color added feature of Flor
ida fruit has been under fire lc
many states which have banned it
Adding color la a new development
in the industry.

| with goodness, though good health
and goodness are by no means un
related. There have been in the
world too many excellent people who
have been Invalids, who have been
strong in spirit If weak In body, to
suggest that goodness and godliness
are matters of physical constitution.
But no man or woman, sick or well,
has ever lived a good or great life
without discipline.
It would probably be found that
irany of the weak and ill, because
of their very physical weakness and
illness, have had to subject them
selves to a discipline and se'f -con
trol for greater than that exercis
ed by those who have had no prob
lem of ill health.
Daniel is the type of temperate
man with his life under perfect con
trol, the man of clean thoughts and
habits. It was demonstrated long
ago, as in ever age, that the. tem
perate man has a far better chance
for life and effectiveness than the
man who is indulgent in drink, food
or any other bodily allurement or
pleasure.
• • •
Recently a man of distinguished
end national position found occasion
to contrast two pictures of his college
days, which he had discovered 50
years after graduation.
One picture was of a group of 12
students, all of whom were total
abstainers. In the other group were
11, none of whom were abstainers;
» *
some drank to excess, others In mod
eration.
The distinguished man did not
presume to draw conclusions too
rigidly from the evidence, but he
called attention to the fact that out
of the first group eight were still
living, and most of them were still
going strong.
Of the other group there Is not
a single one living today. /;ven had
died before 40 years had passed and
none survived to attend the 50th
anniversary of their class.
In our country today there Is a
profound need for considering such
elemental contrasts, just as there is
profound need for developing the
spirit of Daniel — the courageous
spirit that dares to decline to do'
something harmful to ourself or
ethers Just because others are doing
it.
A race of Daniels would be a race
of men strong, steadfast, and equal
to any emergency. In the Daniel
spirit we could not only solve all our
problems, but we could build here in
America a nation of supermen.
