Is NOT A MINISTER.
That Is the Charge Made Against
the Rev. Schultz.
Now People are Wondering Whether
Marriages Performed by Him Hold.

Hampstead, l.. l., March s-Trouble Is
brewing for the Rev. Charles Schultz,
pastor of the Uniondalo Congregational
church, near this village Caleb Simon,
principal of the Uniondale public school,
says that the Rev. Mr. Schultz is not a
regularly ordained minister The minis
ter IL i'll and declines TO either confirm
or deny the assertion of the schoolmaster.
The entire village is wrought up particu-
larly as the pastor has performed several
marriages since he came here. The
church trustees have appointed an inves-
tigating committee To wait upon the
minister tonight. There was no service
in the church yesterday. IL was closed by
order Of j. w. Maynard.
MIR. Schultz made his appearance in
Uniondale in the latter part of last sum
mer.
The little church had been without a
pastor for long time. Many of the mem
bers told Mr.. Schultz that they had been
praying that a pastor might be sent to
them, and he at once said that the Lord
had answered their prayers by sending
him.
The new pastor found favor with the
congregation and affairs were running
along smoothly until the Rev. Mr.. Schultz
concluded TO open night school
He obtained permission from the board
of school trustees TO hold the sessions i'm
the village school house. Pupils went to
the sessions from many neighboring viii
lagos, and the school evidently prospered.
After several weeks however, Principal
Simon complained that his desk had been
marred by the nails in the heels of the
pastors shoes.
Mr. Schultz admitted standing on the
desk in order to hang up an oil lamp. but
denied that he had in any way niarred
the polished surface.
The school trustees decided with Princi-
pal Simon, and ordered the night school
10 be discontinued The minister met two
of the trustees in the main street and
some hot words were exchanged. A by
stander said afterward that the minister
had told the trustees that they "lied.
Then the minister preached sermon,
i'm which he said: People meet you on
the street and say, God bless you, Brother
Schultz, for the work you have done in
Uniondale,' but they are i'm reality saw
ing s--ye yet,-f3 Brother Schultz, for
your work in Uniondale. +"
Principal Simon began TO doubt
whether Mr.. Schultz was a minister or
not. They had taken his word for it
without an inv nvestigation and he had said
that he was graduate of the Chicago
University. Principal Simon wrote a let
ter To William X. Harper, president of the
university, few days ago, and has re-
ceived an answer He says President Har-
per writes that Charles Schultz had newer
attended the university, and that he was
evidently fraud
The minister has been at the house of
George Cornelius, of Uniondale He could
not be seen and sent word that he was too

Pineapples for Profit.

The following extracts from a pa
per read before the Orlando board of
trade by Mr.. Geo. /. Russell, will
prove of interest. Mr.. Russell was
the pioneer in the matter of growing
pineapples on a commercial scale un-
der sheds, and is of course a recog-
nized authority on the subject:
1t is eleven years since I began to
make pineapple culture study. For
the first five years lit was largely ex-
perimental. At that time little was
known about the culture of the plant,
and it has taken time and patient in
vestigation to advance as far as we
are today in pineapple culture.

ways strip few to show the proper
way.
Plant in beds, seven plants to the
row, eighteen inches apart, and 80
inches between the rows. Set the
plants as deep as their size will allow
without having the end of the small
plants below the surface of the
ground. When the plants are half
grown, apply to the ground between
the rows one-half ton of sulphate of
potash per acre, and hoe it well into
the ground. Never hoe deep about
the plants. Always use a scuffle hoe,
and keep the beds free from weeds
and grass.
The pineapple will stand a great

eled up into the body of the apple
and caused decay. In the second
place they were not packed tight
enough to prevent damage from the
side of the crate.''
You will see by this merchants
statement that this fruit, decayed
and bruised by carelessness, sold at
eighteen cents each, and he sold
every one. This fruit Orlando peo-
pie wouldn't eat, much less pay
eighteen cents for, even if in good
condition.

them asking me to retain their or
ders and ship fruit as soon as posi-

fancy fruit, or in fact any kind OF
pineapple, and I am glad to state
that the peopleof Florida, and Orange
county particularly, have begun to
realize the great possibilities in pine

[ have ON exhibition here one dozen
pineapples packed in a new style
crate made expressly for me. 1t is
designed especially for pinesweighing
from 10 to IL pounds each. The fruit
is packed in excelsior to prevent
bruising against the sides of the
crate. These apples will keep from
two to four weeks, affording ample
time for transportation and sale, even
to foreign markets. Price for this
size and quality $500 per crate f. o. b.
I may safely say that one acre
planted in fancy pineapples will pro-
duce in less than two years from

Since reading the above article to
the board of trade, have been asked
to add how many plants cam be set to
the acre. [ will say that 10000 plants
may be set to the acre, allowing am
pie room for each plant to develop
and fruit. The cost of an acre plant
ed would be about $4,000. This in

there is no plant that will better re-
pay one for care and fertilizer be-
slowed.
MARKETING THE FRUIT
The demand for pineapples has be-
come so great within the past few
years that over 100000 worth of i'm
ported fruit was sold in the United
States last season.
Most of these were. common varie-
ties, grown without shade, full of
core and woody fibre, and averaged
from 21s to four pounds in weight.
Not one of these imported pines can
compare with our Orlando fruit, yet
they brought prices that would be
profitable to us with our larger fruit.
Two years ago lot of common Red
Spanish pineapples were shipped to
England, and were sold in the Lon
don market at Cd Us cents) and no
reflections. The average weight of
these pines was 21s pounds. The mer-
chant to whom they we're shipped
said: considering their condition
and that our market is full of soft
fruit, [ think Cd Us cents) was the
value of the fruit. Better prices
would no doubt have been realized if
more care had been exercised in the
gathering and packing of the pines.
In the first place the pines were cut
without leaving any stalk, as a result

I started with seven varieties, the
larger part of them being the COM
mon Red Spanish, and planted a
quarter of an acre. Fortune favored
me and the results were beyond my
fondest expectations. [ found by
comparison that the better grade of
my fruit warranted the cultivation of
finer varieties, and Immediately be-
gan collecting and importing plants,
until I had thirtyseven varieties of
pineapples. Then came the testing
process, and in time I had discarded
all but the five varieties which I now
grow, and which are in my mind the
best that can be produced, namely,
Abbal1a, Enville City, Smooth Cay
enne, Golden Queen and Prince AL
bert.

will fruit in from IL to IA months.
A slip will take from 10 to 20 months

from 10 to 20 months to fruit. In
buying plants, it is important that
you secure fully matured ones.

much. You will find embryo roots,

some mules will also be included DIR.
Gracieux de Malliol made the report to
the French government which resulted
In commissioning Mr., Noel as purchas-
ing agent, and he is thus quoted: "In
few years America will not have
enough horses to supply the old coun-
try. France alone has 1870 regiments of
cavalry, and each regiment has about
1000 head of horses, France has the
finest cavalry in the world. She never
pays less than $500 apiece for the horses
Of her private soldiers, and her officers
horses cost her from $500 to $700 apiece.
No other country can compete with
America in fine bred horses" If the
French government is willing to pay
from 5000 to $7OO for army horses some
very fine remounts can be secured. It
Is true that horses worth those prices
are none too plentiful, but such figures
will bring them to market, We inn
ngine, however, that there is somewhat
of braggadocio in the statement, and
would expect to find Mr.. Noel driving as
hard a bargain with sellers as any other
buyer and paying about as low prices
AS an addenda to the foregoing comes
the announcement that an agent OF the
French government has purchased at
and around the race track at Forsyth
near Chicago, some IS head of thorough
breds at 1925 or less per head for use in
the French cavalry, This is much Of a
departure from the time-honored con
viction that the half-bread is much bet
ter for army service than the thorough
bred. Possibly serviccablc Skates can
be picked up around race track for
1925, but 1t seems rather doubtful. The
price paid quite justifes our prediction
as to figures that will probably be Of
fered in the Kansas City market by the
agent of the French government. How
ever, we welcome all buyers who will
take our horses-cheap or high class.
Our own army officers who do not make
boasts concerning the character of the
remounts they purchase, and who are
limited in price, have difficulty enough
in getting horses that fill their require
ments, and If our friends from France
obtain what they want at prices they
can afford to pay, we shall certainly be
glad to deliver to them the goods
