has done much to improve the pecan
nut is Mrs. c. w. Jacocks, of Formosa,
Orange County, Fla.
Mrs. c. w. Jacocks pecan grove is
located at Formosa, about one mile
north OF Orlando, in Orange County.
The grove is beautifully situated on
a peninsula between lakes Formosa,
Este11e and Rowena, and was first
cultivated for an orange grove in 1873,
up to the time of the freeze in 1895.
After the freeze Mrs Jacocks turned
her attention to the growing Of pecans,
and commenced her labors by plant
ing her largest and best NUTS from the
few trees she had, and budding and
grating from good bearing wood and
with such success that she has at times
obtained nuts from three-year-old
trees, and in some cases has obtained
nuts from one-year-old buds and
gratis. This can only be accomplished
by planting the best nuts and thus OBJ
tain the healthiest bud-wood from
bearing trees.
The following are some of the lead
ing nuts raised by Mrs. Jacocks:
"Jacocks' Perfection" "Jacocks' Hick-
DRY Pecan" "Jacocl1s' Mammoth Pc
can," admiral Schley,'' pride OF
,Formosa, and others.
The following Instructions to those
who wish to engage in the pecan in
dustry are kindly furnished by Mrs.
Jacocks, who will gladly answer any
enquiries from those who are now en-

crops you may wish to raise between
your rows OF trees while they are
growing and developing.
Trees should be thirty-fve or forty
feet apart, either in squares or tri-
angles. If the latter is adopted you
will have more trees, and yet each tree
will have as much room. Get sur
veyor to lay out ground for you; he
will do it quickly and accurately. Dig
holes large enough to admit OF all
feeding roots being spread laterally
and naturally. This can be done, by
filling and laying, and wetting down,

10, THE INDIAN CITIZEN

The government took a new
step in its new policy of "'cutting
loose from the Indian when Com
missioner Leupp Of the Indian bu-
.ean turned loose the entire
Quapaw Indian tribe of Okla
h"ma, with the exception of seven
incompetent Indians. That the
government used the Quapaws as
the entering wedge for its new
policy is a fine tribute to that
tribe. In effect it places them at the
front Of all tribes in the matter of
intelligence and ability to handle
their own business affairs.
All regulations Governing the
: mpaws were re>c'nded by Com
nj ii ner L'upp and the Indian
Age t has bean notified to let the
In iians run Their own business.
However. there we're seven Qua
paws who upon investigation were
found to be incompetent and the
agent will look after them. There
we're also twenty-five other Indians
who it was deemed needed guard
ians and the agent was instructed
to apply to the court and have
such guardians appointed. Under
the new order of things the Qua
paws are free to handle all their
own business affairs, except that
they are forbidden by law from
selling their farms. The commits
sioner will recommend that this
law be changed so that they can,
if they desire, even sell all their
land except a forty-acre home
stead.

opinion of our present board. On
our return trip we took the old
original road thru the Harmon
neighborhood which was laid out
by our first county commissioners, /.
and which is an almost direct line
coming down Beaver gulch to
the river at the original townsitc.
Petitions had been presented to
our present Board asking for this
road to be restored way last July.
Comrade Brehl, as also our ride,
gave us some additional informa-
ton which we confess we ought to
have known before. This original
road goes thru old "Cornelian''
lakebed which required a grade a
half mile long, and also thru anoth-
er one further west. The first
named grade has been completed
in a good and serviceable manner
and is now in use. On the other,
the work is about half done, and
we we're informed it would be-
completed the coming season.
Coming to Beaver gulch, we we're
informed that the money had not
yet been appropriated for this be-
cause the commissioners had not
been able to get title to all of the
land that was needed. The OBJ
struction is a 40 acre tract ON
which there is a mortgage, and
the MORTGAGE had refused to re-
li'qnish it. County Attorney
OKeefe had been instructed to
continue the negotiations to get
the tract at a reasonable figure.
We had presumed that because
the commissioners had not made
an appropriation ''instanter" for
the work required in Beaver gulch,
they had turned the petition down.
Bnt the good work that has been
done ON the road with the new
machine grader recently p rclase
bv the county at a bio price
shows that the Board is using it
for the benefit of all sections of
our county as fast rs they can.
W. should add, that the Board
is also up with the times in the
matter of dams, there being several
between Forest City and Gettys-
burg, as we'll as in other parts of
our county.
The Beaver gulch road is one
in which our town should be
vitality interested, as it is capable
of being made into one of the
most popular driveways in the
county, with its easy grade and
Eve miles of water and foliage.

Just as past financial crises
called for and found some old,
some new, and perhaps curious
methods of carrying the country
over a trying period, SO has the
present trouble seen q new de-
velopment of the use of clearing
house certificates, SO called. The
usual forms of certificates employ
ed we're as outlined above, design
ed to circulate between the banks
merely, and it was never intended
by the original users that clearing.
house certificates should he EN-
ployed in the everyday operations
of the public. This time, how
ever, a form of emergency cur
rency, credit checks, or. MS they
are called in many cities, 'clear-
ing-houSe certificates" have been
issued under the authority OF the
clearinghouse of various cities.
These have been for sums as
small as 81, 50. IS. and $40, and
not in the usual denominations of
as many thousands. These small
checks have hcen paid out for
wages. accepted for food supplies
and goods, and will presumably
he returned and cancelled when
the craze for boarding money in
boxes, cupboards, and stockings
passes away. Wherea high rate
of interest for their employment
is charged they undoubtedly will
be called in just as early as pos
sible, except as numismatists and
ph~ilatelists choose to preserve
samples as illustrations of the
various kinds of currency issued
in our national history. Here it
may be claimed that this form of
currency is extra-legal in charac-
ter, and there certainly have been
some objections to accepting them,
but they are not open to the i'm
putatiom of being unsafe, as was
the currency Of an earlier time,
which was often entirely unsecur-
ed. These certificates have behind
them the pledge faith of the
clearinghouse Issuing them and
thay will be redeemed when pre-.
seHted. Still they are another
andsstriking example of the burden
to a'country's trade Of, to put it
mildly, an unsciepti6c currency
system which has strewn the
economic and financial history Of
the country with the wrecks Of
thousands Of what would other.

NATIONAL DELEGATE
Orders Printers to Walk Out ill Three
 New Britain Shops.

New Britain, Dec 13.-The ma- chine operators and the composing room employees of the New Britain Record, the Herald Publishing Co and the Adkins Printing Co went ou strike last evening at the close of work. They struck for an eight hour day to go into effect immediately, and because the employers wanted more time to think it over, walked out. The press room men are still working. The local printers are members of the Hartford union and the move is being engineered by the officers of that organization, who are Hartford men.
 Some weeks ago the printers put in their demands, and their employ CTS said they would consider them. At first they were to go into effect in November, but the time was extend- ed. As many as dozen conferences have been held, one of the employers said, with Messrs Bartlett and Pfund of Hartford, and they were very de- cent about it, but new turn was given to the situation yesterday at- ternoon when National Delegate Con- nors of Boston arrived. MT Corners went at the employers with a "big stick" it is said, and demanded of them to decide tt once. He called on Business Manager E. M. Hubert of the Herald and was told by him that he was too busy to talk the mat ter over with hin then. MT Connors is reported to have become insisteEt and MT Hubert told him he had TO catch a car at G o'clock and would not have a chance to see him. MT Connors told him he would have to decide before night and called the strike without notifying MT Hubert.
 MT Connors went to J. L. Doyle, proprietor of the Record, in much the same fashion, but he was notified of the strike, it is reported, and also to W. A. House of the Adkins Print ing Go.
 One of the employers said he would be willing to try the eight hour schedule for three weeks, but the offer was rejected. He was told he must agree to it permanently 2r not at all. Some of the printers told their employers they did not approve of the radical action taken without giving more time, but as the strike had been ordered by a national off, cer they had no alternative.

FROM ELLIS ISLAND
Doctor at BrOokSide in Case 0f
 Apauline EsnockaS.

Dr Foster of Ellis Island was in this city Wednesday investigating the case of Miss Apaulina Esnockas, who is at the Brookside home, suffer- ing from tubercular trouble. She was in this city less than six months when it was noticed that she was afflicted with the disease and as it is thought she had the trouble prior to her com ing here, it is up to the authorities at Ellis island to take charge of the case and deport her.
 Her friends kept her at the Water bury hospital until they could no longer bear the expense and then she was taken to the Brookside. If Dr Foster finds that her case is one for reportation, the city will be reim- bursed for the money that she has cost it. In the opinion of Superin- tendent Morris of the charity depart ment the young woman is hardly in the condition to be deported.
