ACTIVITY IN
.TOLLESTON
Labor Scale for the Year Is
Fixed No Trouble
Anticipated.

Plans are now being prepared and
contracts have already been let for
buildings, flats and residences in
Gary, which will total approximate
ly the amount of $35O,OOO. To be
precise, TIMES reporter visited
the offices of the local architects
and a number of prominent, con-
tracts yesterday and found that
plans and contracts had been
awarded to the amount of $780,
900. This does not include con-
tracts awarded more than a week
back.
Probably never in the history of
the steel city have prospects been
brighter for building activity than
they are at the present time. Local
architects and contractors predict the
greatest building boom in the history
OF the state of Indiana for the com
ing year. Local architects who were
visited yesterday told of numerous in
uiries of plans and sketches for build
ings, flats and residences, but were
not able to give them out for publica-
ton as yet
Last year at this time the prospects

GRAPE FREIT NOW
POPULAR DELICACY

New York, Nov 26.-Twenty years
ago the grape fruit which was intro.
duced into Florida by old Captain
Shaddock from the East Indian islands
was hardly known to this country. 1t
was mostrosity, something pleasing
to the eye but not to the taste. The
first two carloads that were shipped
from Lakeland to Chicago and pur-
chased from the grower, as specula-
tion, at cost of so cents a box,
against $3.50 a box today, not only did
not return the original investment. but
cost the buyer 1925 in freight. The
grape fruit-thank you. Last season
more than nine hundred cars of the
fruit, that has been pronounced by
recognized connoisseurs the world
over as food fit for the gods. entered
the Windy City, bringing from 81 to So
a box at retail according to season.
The chief grape fruit countries OF
the state are, in order, Lee, Manatee,
De Soto, Hillsboro, Dade, Orange and
Lake. Lee county, with a total of two
hundred thousand boxes last season
and twice the acreage of any other
country, probably produces more
grape fruit than any other county, al
though De Soto and Manatee are both
close seconds. Lee county has four
thousand acres under cultivation, and
the acreage is being increased very
rapidly.

SHOT AT RABBIT;
KILLED HIS SETTER

Columbus, Ind, Nov. 26.-The old
saying that Brother Ben shot at, a
rooster and hit a hen is apropos in
the case of Leonard Stader, age II
years, son Of Peter Stader. who lives
southeast of this city. Young Stader
shot at a rabbit and killed a dog. He
had taken his fathers registered set
ter and gone hunting. The dog flush
ed rabbit and the boy fired. When
the smoke had cleared away the boy
saw the rabbit disappearing over. a
distant hill, while the dog was dead
with load of shot in its head. Stader
says he valued the dog at $50.

NEARLY ZOO PERSONS
IN THE BREAD LIN"
Food Handed Out to Cold and
Hungry Men and Boys
at Gospel Mission.

Nearly two hundred shivering, home
less, voorhees, men and boys gathered
this morning in 1.-The bread line' at the
Gospel Mission. 1870 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, and steaming mugs of coffee
and generous portions Of bread were
handed to them by sympathetic hands.
The falling snow increased their suffer
ing, for many Of them were thinly
clad in summer clothes much the worse
for wear. and fully 95 per cent were
without overcoats.
"As the winter advances the bread line
will gain in numbers" said Supt. H. w.
Kline. ''The men that stood In line to-
day may pass on to other cities. and per-
haps find jobs, but others will be there
to take their places. Clothing Of all
kinds is sorely needed to carry on this
work, while the small sum of 81 will pro-
vide hot rolls and coffee for 100 men.
We believe this work lessons crime in
the city, for cold and hungry men are
likely to become desperate and do vio-
lent and unlawful deeds. We need help
in this rescue work, and I feel sure our
thoughtful citizens will furnish 1t when
they know the facts" =

Getting Fruits From China.
From the Worcester TELEGRAM.


The cranberries of Cape Cod are threat
ened with a rival. The red fruit or hung
kuo of China, which looks some like q
crabapple and cooks up for sauce, with
the bright red Of the cranberry and the
same popular acidity. is being expert
mented with in southern California by the
United States COVE. nment. and may be-
come one Of the commercial fruits Of this
country. 1t is a prolific grower in China
and has attracted the attention Of ex-
porters as a sauce fruit for sale in other
parts Of the world. The United States
government is also experimenting In Cal
ifornia with a wild peach. which grows
in China. in the hope Of find
ing that 1t can be crossed with the
peaches Of this country which are not
hardy enough in the American winters.
There is prospect that this wild peach
may be SO we'll mixed with such peaches
as are common In New England and
other northern climates that there will
be less trouble with winter killing.
That is an important experiment. as all
who have seen the winter-killed peach
orchards Of this country can readily
understand. The failures with peach
culture have exceeded the successes
more on account OF the extreme cold
than for any other reason.
