miles south Of Dzytona and is an
ideal spot reached from Daytona by
hard surface road winding through
one ct the most picturesque parts OF
Florida
With its ancient ruins dating back
q ) time when the history Of man
runneth not. interlaced with wires Of
tie modern telegraph and telephone,
4, nizes OF shell streets as hard and
snooth as floor and over-arched by
hoary forest giants that grew in state
~ grandeur during the lapse of by
gone centuries, New Smyrna is truly
4 place Of romance and rest
Al nature here is very inviting to
the tourist and pleasure-seeker. Here
/ TOO is to be found the best fishing and
huntine in the State of Florida.
The people are thrifty, the bust
ness men enterprising and all unite
IN extending the welcome hand of
hospitality to strangers. There are
6ve church edihces for white people
and an equal number for the colored
population; the town has an excellent
hifh school. a splendid public lib

New Smyrna has no bonded in
debtedness and the tax levy is low.
A point that no tourist should fail

ish Mission which stand somber and
alone about one and a quarter miles
southwest of New Smyrna. A good
road leads to the place and the trip
can be easily made by an automobile.
Silent, in the great pine fats by the
margin Of the forest, is this place of

PICTURESQUE PORT ORANGE

PORT ORANGE is a pretty little
village situated FIVE miles south OF
DaytOna on the Daytona-New Smyrna
hard-surface road, the scenic highway
of the East Coast. The town is To-
Gated on the Halifax River, over
which spans a bridge from the town
to the peninsula opposite.
The town is well laid; out and has
many pretty homes owned and occu-
pied by residents and winter tourists.
It has several churches, one of the
best graded schools in VoluSia
county, two general stores, a real
estate agency and two or three hotels
a large number of tourists and
winter residents make Port Orange
winter headquarters, one of the sew
eral attractions being the excellent
fishing. Port Orange is in the orange
belt and a number of very fine citrus
groves are nearby, where oranges,
tangerines and grapefruit hang in
profusion. Some Of the best trucking
land in the State is to be found
thereabout and excellent crops are
raised.
West OF Port Orange a short dis
lance are the remains of the old
Dunlawton sugar mill, spot that is
visited every year by hundreds OF
tourists. At one time all the coun-
try west of Port Orange, surrounding
the old mill, was a vast sugar-cane
and indigo plantation. The mill was
operated extensively in those days
but has been in disuse for thirty or
forty years.
A pretty automobile or carriage
drive from Daytona is via the ocean
beach to the approach of the Port
Orange bridge, across the bridge and
then passing through Port Orange to
the ruins of the celebrated old sugar
mill, returning to Daytona by the
road on the mainland. This drive
affords a very pleasing variety OF
scenery.

BEGINNING OF USE OF IRON
Hard to Trace Exactly, But It's Origin
Is Thought to Have Been in
Central Europe.

1t is commonly believed that the
use OF iron commenced in either AZ
RIGA or Asia. The latest investiga-
lions prove that it was not worked
in Egypt until the ninth century be-
fore the Christian era, or in Libya I'M
til $50 B. c., that the Semites adopt
ed its use still later, and that 1t has
been known in Uganda only within
the last five or six centuries. In
China iron is first mentioned in 400
b. G. Bronze weapons were en-
ployed in China until 100 AID, and in
japan until 700 AID According to a
Mr.. Ridgeway, who has investigated
this subject, the metallurgy Of iron
must have originated in central
Europe, especially in Noricum, which
approximately represented modern
Austria and Bavaria. Only at Hall
staff and in Bosnia and Transatlantic,
from which countries the Achaians
and Dorians are supposed to have
migrated to Greece, are found evil
dences of gradual introduction of
iron, at first as an ornament applied
to the bronze which it ultimately dis.
placed Everywhere also iron was in
troduced suddenly fact which i'm
plies foreign origin. He says that
meteoric iron was known in Egypt In
remote antiquity, but no doubt it was
worked as fiints are worked, by cutting
or chipping, and was not smelted. In
other words, 1t was metallurgy, not
the knowledge, of iron that originated
in central Europe.

You seemed to taunt the fire

And with deep, heart-rending sigh
Say farewell to you, oh faithful,

George Crocker's death in Decem-

due to the same cause.
The battle of science against the
subtle ailment began even before Mr..

the past six months a corps of scien-
fists under direction of the Crock
er research committee has been

every form of cancer that has come to
the notice of the scientific world on
the continent. They have made no

disease, but have begun series of
laboratory Investigations and expert
ments that promise to reward their
patience.

ton of the research work is in the
hands of committee of eminent
physicians.

Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, Ill, July -Wheat-Al-
though much needed rains have fallen
through the northwest, crop reports
are still bad and some of the alarm
lists say that rain is too rate to do
any good. We can hardly believe this
and look for reports of Improvement.
A we'll known crop expert estimates
So, 100000 for North Dakota versus
90,000000 harvested last year. 1t
was this figure which caused most OF
today's professional buying. The
northwest has undoubtedly been
severely hurt but rains will surely do
good. We are now facing run Of
winter wheat which in the absence of
milling and -four demand is likely to
be burdensome at a level so far above
an export basis. A considerable
open interest exists in July and some
serious congestion may result. Aside
from this possible influence we believe
September and December wheat sale
on all bulges.
Corn-General rains over the entire
belt have removed fears of drouth
damage. Crop reports are mostly fav-
orable and conditions generally nor
NAL. With the new crop assured
farmers may sell the old corn freely
and good movement can b. expect
eo. Professional spectators are
mostly bullish. A certain class OF
operators feel that corn below Coo Is
cheap. which accounts for much of the
buying. With a declining provision
market strong probability of liberal
movement and only light demand we
feel corn is sale on the hard spots.
Oats-Have followed the action OF
wheat and corn. Shorts have been
good buyers. Small stocks and light
movement tend to keep July strong.
we believe July will congest and may
influence bulges in September. Con-
siderable hedging pressure is notice
able in September delivery as result
OF liberal offerings for August ship
ment We look for lower prices and
would sell September or other de-
ferred deliveries on hard spots.
Provisions-Easy and lower as re-
suit Of the continued liberal hog run.
There is a general fair trade but an
absence of outside speculative invest
| ment. Packers who have been per-
sistent sellers bought moderately but
are expected to be sellers on bulges.
Cash demand is slow, consumption be-
| ing restricted by high prices. We be-
lieve provisions should be sold on all
| bulges.
Sample market-Corn and oats
steady. Shipping demand continues
light, offerings are small, local feeding
