GENIUS IS WEALTH.

Genius Is wealth. not only 20 the AS

the nation as a whole. No one can
live life OF great constructive achieve

property left passes TO individuals. the
institutions created. the knowledge
gained. and the progress made become
part OF the wealth of the whole peo,
pie.
Some great men endow the world
with economic wealth, and Others

SMOKY FUNGUS OF ORANGES.

Press Bulletin No. l23, by Prof. II.
s. Fawcett, which has just been Is
sued by the Florida Agricultural .Ex'
pertinent Station. treats Of the above
disease as follows:
Soon after oranges attain their
normal color in the fall, faint smok-
mess is often noticed on fruit that
is otherwise bright and smooth. This
smoky appearance may be mistaken
for an accumulation Of dust particles;
out, on examination under a lens, IL
is found to be due TO a net
work OF dark-cOlOred fungus
threads. This fungus was noticed by
i. II. Hume. under the name OF Lep-
.othyTium pOmi. Although the smoky
angus appears TO do no injury TO
, ,he orange itself. yet ii impairs its
; fright color. and thereby lessons its
market value. This smoky appearance
should not be confused with the more
conspicuous black covering due TO
the sooty mold OF whitehy-infested
trees. The smoky fungus occurs In
blotches or patches OF various sizes,
and in some cases covers the entire
fruit. The fungus threads appear 10
be entirely superficial. and apparently
do not even injure the epidermis Of
the fruit. This is shown by the fact
that the bright color Of the orange
can be restored by rubbing or wash
ing.
This smokiness. though not a seri.
Gus thOuble. can readily be prevented
IL perfectly bright fruit Is desired.
While conducting a series OF spraying
experiments for another trouble last
year. II was noticed that the oranges
were freed from smoky fungus. II
was found that the smoky fungus
could easily be controlled by spraying
with Bordeaux mixture during Oc
tober.
1T is a well-established fact that
TO spray an orange tree thoroughly
within and without with Bordeaux
mixture. Is almost sure TO invite an
increase OF scale insects on twlgs
leaves, and fruit. The reason for
this Is that Bordeaux mixture kills
the fungi that are parasites of the
scale insects, and SO allows these
scales TO multiply very rapidly. II
was found that by spraying only once
about October. the smokiness was
avoided, and there was not enough
time for the scale insects TO increase
sufficiently TO injure the appearance
OF the fruit before the shipping sea
son. In spraying for this purpose
care should be taken TO apply the
spray, as far as can be done, only "a
the fruit II should be kept as much
as possible from the limbs or trunks
On the large limbs and trunks there
will be left a sufficient amount OF the
scale fungi to spread out on the rest
lof the tree and keep down the scales
For preventing smOkiness therefore
spray the fruit in October with Bor
deaux mixture. or with ammoniaca
solution Of copper carbonate. Bulle

tiOn contains directions for the prepa
ration OF these fungicides.'

Never since the beg inning of time
has an amusement enterprise so tre-

this one. Its magnitude is almost
beyond belief. All America, togeth-
er with every foreign country, has
been secured from end to end by
agents of this big show in search of
novelties and the result is perform
ance brim full of sensational acts
new to the circus world. In the big
Barnum and Bailey show are nearly
400 arenic stars, most of whom are
seen now for the first time. A new
sensation will be seen at every per-
formance in "Jupiter, the balloon
horse" This remarkable animal
with its fearless rider ascends to the
dome Of the circus tent in balloon
and decends to the ground in y
shower of fireworks Nearly 1000
animal wonders are to be found in
the big 10S cage menagerie. 8 herds

EXTENSIVE
DEVELOP MENT
LAKE MOKOMA COMPANY
STARTING ACTIVITIES.
Two pavilions and Sixty Bath
Houses 10 Be Erected.

"A ulfectoFS meetlnS OF Lne Lake
Mokoma Company was held at La
porte Tuesday and Wednesday,
attended by the following named
officers: President, Chas. j. Pen
mock; Secretary, Edward S. Phil
lips; Thomas Rakestraw, j. B.
Swayne, G. f. Cox, f. w. Meylert,
w. @. Mason.
Considerable time was spent in
going over the entire property
making close inspection and decid-
ing on improvements and the
methods to be employed in execut-
ing the work.
1t was decided to Immediately
commence the erection of two new
pavilions. One to be located on
the picnic grounds to be used for
refreshment accommodation, the
size of which will be 40x40 and
constructed along modern plans,
combinding both attractiveness and
convenience. This stand will be
conducted by Mr.. F. II. Farrell
who has secured the concession to
supply the hungry and thirsty
throngs who visit these grounds,
which gives assurance that this
important feature will be properly
handled. This pavilion will be
open continuously throughout the
entire season,
The other pavilion, 36x36, will
be erected along the lake beach in
which offices will be provided and
also a confectionery stand. Sixty
bath houses will be erected and
three dozen row boats added to the
present large equipment.
The grounds fro lake front,
along bathing beach, back to the
picnic grounds will be graded and
set with shrubbery and shade CIV
ing trees, affording in time a cool,
delightful shade over the entire
grounds used exclusively for ex-
cursion purposes.
The upper portion of lake will
be entirely cleared of logs and
stumps which have heretofore pre-
vented the use of the prettiest part
of the lake for rowing. Here the
thrifty growth of woodlands meet
the water edge with its inviting
shade extending far out from shore,
yielding assent to give charm and
recreation to those seeking such
rowing delights.
Provision has been made to sup
ply the picnic grounds with various
amusements such as merry 60
round, shooting gallery, bowling,
mechanical swings, etc, and a full
line of amusement devices for the
children.
Mr.. S. D. Townsend, Gen. Mgr.
of the w. & n. B. spent Wednes-
day with the directors talking over
the various questions of transpor-
tation and cooperative plans essen
tial to rapid and permanent devel-
opment. The sand house and coal
house along the railroad track ad-
jacent to the excursion grounds
will be removed and along this
portion of the track between the
rails plank will be laid and on either
side filed with trap rock, giving
this part of the grounds an attrac-
tive appearance to hasmonize with
the whole. Mr.. w. R. Mason rep
resents the w. & N, B. this season
as summer excursion agent.
Control of the Mountain House,
the Lake View Cottage have been
secured by the Company, and in
connection with the MOkOma Cot.
tage will be opend under one man.
agement for the entertainment ol
summer guests. The end of the
approaching season is sure to revea
marked advancement and prove
beyond any doubt the opening of 6
new era for Laporte.
