All that is definitely known about

a system of good road:; thanks to this
grand old man.
Ii i; thw unanimous choice of the
Moore Haven vote:; that Mr. Whit
ton again run for this ollicc and with
the sclid vote of Punta Gcrda and
Mcore Haven at his back he need
have no fear of being defeated. At
p escnt he is at his home in Punta
Gorda sick and it is the hope of his
many friends thai ho recover In time
to make a canvass of the district and
Mcore Haven will do its part.
Let it be plainly understood that
we care nothing ror Mr. Whitten's
polities or religion or what he had
for breakfast. The people of the
Moore Haven disrri"t. demanded re
suits and got them. It was through
his knowledge and determination to
pu! things through that enabled him
to get Moore Haven what d'.e asked
Iff. This was dene net at the ex
peU30 of the oi her sectlsns '.f the dis
trict for Moore Haven is fo iling the
bill, just as Fort Ogiicn and Punta
G rda are doing today and Palmdale
will vhen she gets the gcod rords so
badly needed 'n that soet'on.
The Arcadia New- i:: interviewing
Mr. Whitten, .aid:
Commissioner William M. Whitten
of Pur.ta Oorda, said: "I cm an old
man, 78 years of age, and I do not
proprsc to ontor any dirt:- political
light to be re-elected, but '. the peo
ple of my district feel that my record
justifies their support I will an

made more friends of e:.er.iies than

Mr. WhittCJ has beer, one of the

It beluHives everyone, in thi day of hinli prices, to
make their grocer money ijo ai tar us poaaible, lnt
this is not always aecompliebeil by Iraytng where
pricea are lowest. In fact, the contrary is title.
For instance: There is a certain brand of pineapple
on the market that sells for IOC a can less than we
charge for the highest grade pineapple. The, cheap
brand Is si poor as tu lie until for human consump
tion in other words it Is put up to sell to those who
demand cheapness and not quality. We do not
handle this character of jjoods. The pleasure we get
ottt of our meals is half the pleasure of life ami opofl
Ihe qnalltl of the food we eat depends in a great
degree our state of health.
