laudo as at sanford 1t says:
IN our local news notes few days

first carload Of Orlando grown celery
had been shipped from this station.
Thereby hangs tale worth the telling.
There has been notion among
many amateur gardeners that Orlando
/ is not a locality suited TO the growing
Of crops for market gardening. These
men ana town knockers generally
stand about ON the streets ana pump

who do not know the conditions in
Florida. are afraid to undertake plant

has been considerable Of this sort Of
mischief played about Orlando much
/ to our injury
For years the editor OF this paper
has believed and published in the
newspapers and in pamphlets that
/ the soil about Orlando, n selected for
the special crops desired to be grown,
/ Is as good as any in the state and that
its very variety offers opportunity for
diversified crops not found I'm some
places. It Is true that trials have been
made along certain lines, generally in
small and uncertain way, ana there
have been failures but when sifted
down these failures were because

Ne7C York II. C. Man L,
the Greatest Aqnatic Star
America Has Produced.

Far down in the lowermoSt towns of
Australia, where the smallest children
are as much at home in the brine as
they are on land; way up in the north
ernmost coast of Scotland, where local
fishermen can swim the lirths by sway
ing their bodies, while their hands and
feet are tied, everywhere that man pro-
pels himself through the water. one
name. that of Charles NJ. Daniels. is
best known to those who love to swim
And well it might be. Only one
swimmer in the worlds history can be
compared with the powerful New York
Athletic club athlete. That man is the
late Australian. Kieran. Daniels. how
ever, is improving every day. yet ut
the recent championship meet of the
Amateur Athletic union. held in the
New York a. c. tank, he broke or
equaled almost every American record
from the p yards to The DO and bet
tered and equaled several worlds rec
ords.
But the strain of his recent training
and racing has been terrific. He gave
not the slightest sign OF going stale
OF breaking down. yet, although six
feet tail. he weighs but |, pounds.
Coach SundstrJ.n has ordered the
champion of champions TO stay out of
the water and rest for Il month.
His victories were remarkable in
that neither east. west. north nor south
could produce swimmer who had the
slightest chance to hold Daniels when
once he started his famous "hpaving"
squirt.
Nlarquand Schwartz of the Missouri
4. &. had been heraldcd as coming
world bcater. At the start Of each
race Daniels toyed with him for TWEEN
ty-tiyc or fifty yards and allowed him
to stay on even terms. Then he put
added power in his stroke that lifted Il
quarter of his body out of water and
quickly hurled him into the lead.
There seems to he no limit TO his en-
durance. Night after night lie raced
won his heats, semiinals and finals
and broke records. The last night
found him as strong as the first In
ming relay team.
He used no set rule as to his stroke
For twenty-five or fifty yards he usual

His arm stroke appears to be eXccp-
tionally leisurely and does not look to
do much of the driving. AS Il matter

rope around his waist and threw him
into the tank. The youngster sputtcr-
ed and fomdered about and. as he
himself now puts il, swallowed
enough water to sink a warship."
Daniels father says that for six
months he could neither persuade his
boy to come nor drag nor carry him
anywhere near the tank. The boy
wished to row with schoolboy friends.
His father forbade him to do so until
he had learned TO swim. Then the
youngster determined to learn the nata-
torial art.
Every afternoon after school he hur-
ried to the New York Athletic club
tank, until his figure became as fa-
miliar as the posts about the water.
Gus Sundstrom, the coach. soon noticed
the exceptional aptitude of the boy.

Of DIydock Dewey Made

Interesting Story Of Passage
Through the Suez Canal.
Head Pilot Displays Rare Skill and Suita
bic Recognition is Recommended.

Washington, July 11.-While it was
predicted by some that the drydock
Dewey would never be able to pass
through portions Of the Suez canal.
which are only slightly wider than
the great dock. the aged head pilot Of
the canal, a. Papa, knew differently
and 1t was his skill and caution which
made 1t possible for the Dewey to get
through the tortuous waterway in
such a satisfactory manner, according
to a report of the trip just made to the
navy department by Commander H. H,
Hosley, who was in charge of the
Dewey and the fleet which conveyed it.
Although Papa is very old and was
so i'll that he should not have attempt
ed the work, he assumed full charge
OF the Dewey's canal trip. Worn out
by the careful watching necessary to
save the dock from disaster, the old
man was under medical attention dur
ing two of the nights the Dewey was
in the canal. He was cared for in the
quarters of the general manager of the
canal and resolutely resumed his work
and directed the tugs which were tow
ing the Dewey by means of a system
VI nos oiSldIS WHICH proved e1IectlNe.
For many years all ships bearing
crowned heads. members of royal
families or other distinguished persons
have been piloted through the canal
by the venerable head pilot whose
service has been so Indispensable to
the company that his proposed retire.
ment and return to Greece, his native
land, are regarded by the canal officials
with extreme regret. A short time
ago the steamer Chatham, loaded with
dynamite, was sunk in the canal and
offered a dangerous obstruction to
| navigation. Papa was the only en-
ploye of the canal company regarded
as being capable of steering vessels
around the hidden danger, and he
worked constantly day and night, I'M
til the explosives could be removed.
Many European dignitaries have
showered Papa with letters and gifts
thanking him for the care and skill
with which he has taken them through
| the Suez. Commander Hosley sent
the old pilot a letter of appreciation
| and in his report to the navy depart
ment, the American officer suggests
that some suitable trophy be given to
Papa by the American navy in recog-
milton of his unusual service for the
Dewey.
