to 90 extensively into the dairy business.
More alfalfa has been sown here than
ever before. The creameries are doing
good business. With the reopening OF the

business has received new impetus.
The people of the Park naturally take
an interest in the wonderful developments
of the noted ranch of F. w. Emery. He is
now putting 400 acres into grape fruit and
oranges. The thoroughness of the plant
ing Of these fruit trees is illustrated by the
fact Of it's requiring twenty gallons of wa
ter for each tree at the time of planting.
He thinks the future of the grape fruit is
assured. He has thrown out ten acres of
year-old oranges and put this fruit in the
the place. The lovely drives and substan-
tial buildings display taste and architectu-
raj beauty.
MIR. Refs, who purchased the Mcknight

Merit Wins

The invention of Alabastine marked
new era in wall coatings, and from
the standpoint Of the building owner
was most important discovery 1t
has practically driven all kalsomines
from the market and from small
beginning has branched out into every
country of the civilized world The
name "kalsomine" has become so often
sive to property owners that manu-
facturers of cheap kalsomine prepara-
tions are now calling them by some
other name, and attempting to sell on
the Alabastine Company's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and
personal use, the merits Of Alabastine
are so thoroughly known that the people
insist on getting these goods and will
take no chance of spelling their walls
for possible saving of at the most but
"a few cents. Thus il is again demon
strated that merit wins, and that manu-
facturers Of first-class articles will be
supported by the people.

Our honored townsman Capt. w. s.
Turck, has been admitted to member
ship in the military order of the Loyal
Legion Of the United States His mill
tary record, a detailed statement of
which was submitted with his applica-
ton for membership, shows that Capt.
Turck participated in twenty seven
military engagements, some of which,
like the Battle of Bull Run, lasted for
three or four days. Besides these,
Capt. Turck was present during the
siege of Petersburg, from June II, 1864,
to April 3, 1865. Capt Turck had com
mand of the first brigade, first division
of the Second Army Corps Skirmishers,
at the time of Lees surrender, April o,
1860. The flag of truce passed through
his skirmish line, and also Grant and
Lee, after the surrender at Appomattox.
Few members of that remarkable mill
tary organization have better record
than Capt. Turck.
