We have been doing business IN Flat
bush for the past twenty years. We
know Flatbush thoroughly and our clients
get the benefit of our experience. Our
judgment and Efforts in enabling our Gus
toners to make wise purchases has been
the cause of their realizing large profits.
Several who bought one or two lots a
few years ago as a "hyer" have since
bought large parcels. and their profits are
enormous. Before the subway was COM
pleted in the Bronx spectators went mad
over Bronx propsrty,-paying $4,000
each for lots within ten or twelve blocks
of the line of the subway. The Brighton
Beach Railroad is in the same relative
condition to-day. The four-track system
with express service is nearing compile
ton, and lots within one or two blocks of
it are selling at from $3.50 to $1,000! We
are THREE TIMES NEARER CITY
HALL, NEW YORK. than is 135th
street, the Bronx! And our Subway is in
the OPEN AIR You are not subjected to
the sitting atmosphere that exists in the
present marlborough subway. Twenty
1--WE minutes TO New York and fifteen min
utes to the Ocean! Is it any wonder that
thousands upon thousands of people are
buying homes in Flatbush every year and
that the builders cannot complete their
houses fast enough TO meet the denland9
Five years hence there will be hardly a
vacant Let of land along the Brighton
Beach Railroad. This means that millions
of dollars will be made IN Flatbush real
estate during the next FIVE years. Don't
some land or a home in the ideal resi-
Dental section of New York and then
watch your profits grow!

White River Seek
Growers Association
The Beginning of Strong Organization Which Will Look
After the Interests Of TIN People of this Valley

Pursuant to call, II large number OF
representative citizens met at tho
county clerks office last Saturday
afternoon to organize a local stock
association.
The meeting was called to order by
Thomas Kilduff, chairman of the
meeting of the previous Monday, and
T. b. Scott acted as secretary. Chair
man Kilduff stated that Il committee
had been appointed to submit a cons
stitution and bylaws, and asked II
the committee was ready to report.
A. 9. Moulton suggested that the
sense of the meeting in regard to an
organization be first obtained. The
vote proved the gathering to be unan-
imous for organization.
Mr.. Moulton, as chairman of the
committee, then submitted the con-
stitution and bylaws, and suggested
that they be read second time and
acted upon section by section, which
was ordered.
Section l, 2, 3, 4, 8, and were
thus adopted. Section of Article 8
was amended so as to read: Amy
member engaged in the raising Of
cattle, horses, farming, or other bus
mess shall be eligible to member
ship Articles 2, 3 and 4 of Section
were then adopted, as was also Sec
ton 8.
The bylaws We're then taken up
and most Of them adopted without
discussion. Concerning dues, the
flat rate was voted down and the
committee's report adopted with the
addition of a minimum charge. The
section referring to the Offering OF
rewards for evil-doers was, after dis
cussion, left to the discretion and
control of the executive committee.
1t reads as follows:
A standing reward of Two Hun.
dred $4,000 Dollars is hereby
offered for the arrest and cons
viction of any person killing OF
isteaiing stock Belonging to any
member of this association, to be
paid In the discretion and under
the direction of the Executive
Committee.
With the constitution and bylaws
disposed of, those who wished We're
given an opportunity to subscribe
their names thereto, and n brief re-
cess was taken for that purpose.

AsenslbIe SUGGESTION.

The suggestion Of the general sup
erintendent Of The Union Pacific in re-
gard to prevention Of coal iamines ID
1 sensible one. 1t Is simply that
dealers could do much to prevent a
recurrence Of these distressing inci-
dents simply BY laying in a supply Of
coal now. OF course, the objection Of
the dealer to this would be that he
does not wish to tie up considerable
money In such 3 way so far in ad-
vanoe that Il would mean the loss Of
considerable interest. and that conse-
qusntly be might not be able TO COM
pete with the dealer who ordered later
and avoided this extra expense. There
IL some reason Ia this argument and
yet II seems to rs that the reputation
he would establish through alwsys
having coal on hand would more than
oompsnsate for The trivial loss Of H.
sHest.

The Red Can gasoline law goes into
effect in Kansas about June /, for on
or about that date the Kansas statute
book win be issued and the act be-
comes a law upon the issuance Of the
book. This is the law which requires
that all gasoline must be sold In red
cans, jugs or other receptacles. Kero-
Sene, on the other hand, must never
under any circumstances be put into
red cans. Contrary to the impression
which is said to prevail in some locali-
ties, the law does not make 4 grocer
selling gasoline liable for the damages
caused by an accident where he sells
gasoline in a can not painted red.
The penalty was in the bill as 1t came
before the'house, but II was stricken
out. The bill merely provides a PEN
atty Of from IS to s26 for every sale
Of gasoline made when the gasline
sold is not in red can, or kerosene
sold under reverse conditions. Some
grocers who have been handling gaso-
line have declared that they would
give up the sale Of that commodity IL
the ''liability for damage" clause was
10 the law. They have held that they
'ould not afford to take the risk.
These grocers can go ahead with their
,asoline business. The law imposes
10 unusual or unnecessary penalty.

Rishop MiIIspaurh's story.

Bishop Frank Millspaugh who il

St. Johns church has a breakfast
story relating to his experience while
visiting an Eastern Kansas parish.
He was entertained at the home Of d
leading citizen whose wife he had
known in her girlhood years. 1t was
an imposing matter for the hostess.
She was not perturbed for herself;
she knew that the Bishops dignity
was solublein social attentions but
there were the two sons, six and eight
years old. How could they keep
within boundsp
For two days before the .eyentful
visitation she cautioned, scolded and
counseled. With greatly depressed
manners and dutiful meekness the
boys went through the Saturday eve
ming dinner without . break and the,
mothers heart was well pleased.

lrills were added to the breakfast.

ming Of the Republican campaign Of

opinion that next years battle in
Kansas shall be, first Of all. one for
RepubliCanism, and all that it repre-
sents, all along the line. Mr.. Moore
is a very capable and popular man
and will undoubtedly make most
excellent chairman. The unanimity
which attended his election, and the
good feeling accompanying 1t, augurs
well for his administration. He is
well and favorably known over the
state and is thoroughly familiar with
the political conditions with which he
will be called upon to deal. He is
popular in his own county and has
made all-round success as a political
leader there. As head Of the state
he may be depended
upon to keep on the alert in the inter
'sts Of the party. In accepting the
position he stated that he would be
hartman Of the whole party and not
