WARNS AGAINST

Almost Impossible for Farmers To

would do well to talk with William
II. Smith, contractor and builder
residing at No. 238 Stanton-ave., VINO
has lust returned from a trip to the
south. Mr.. Smith went In company
with August Kirchner, a dry goods
dealer at Grand River and Fourteenth
aves.
"It Is a shame the way northerners
are being lured to Florida to invest
in that worthless land" Mr.. Smith
told The Times. "The land will pro-
duce absolutely nothing unless 1t Is
fortified at an expense that leaves
Eothing for the farmer. The land is
sand and limestone rock, and to be
made arabic must be fertilized, from
one to three tons per acre being re-
quired. This fertilizer costs from $33
TO $50 per ton. The land sells for
from 500 to 500 per acre for ordin-
airy farm lands and orange lands from
$500 to $1,000 per acre.
These big ads tell Of the wonder
full land in the Everglades Mr..
Smith continued why, most Of that
land should be sold by the gallon
instead of the acre, as 1t Is covered
with water all the time.
Those farmers who have been
there a few years and have got the
money TO get out, are leaving every
day for the north. but great many
of them haven't got the price to get

Produce from Florida is shipped
from 900 TO 400 miles to Jacksonville
and there transferred to boats and

MADRID, Via Hendaye, France.
Jan. 2s.-Grown tired at last Of the
openness of King Alfonso's neglect Of
her and of the attentions that he is
showering on favorite demimondes Of
Paris, Queen Victoria threatens to re-
turn to her home in England for an
indefinite stay.
From confidential court sources, the
United Press learns that the queen
has declared that she can no longer
tolerate the insults of the king. whose
treatment of her Is now an open book
throughout Spain.
feminine charmers, past and present,
and in the number Is Gaby Deslys,
one of the chief causes Of King
Manuels loss of his throne. IL de-
velopes thaC Alfonso was first enam-
ored Of the fair Gaby, and that after
he tired Of her he turned her over to
the youthful Portuguese monarch.
Alfonso's frequent incognito trips
to Paris, knowledge of which the
cabinet tried hard to suppress by Of
fetal announcements that the king
was spending few days in his home.
1T now transpires, have been sothing
more Ian fragrant escapades in the
gay life Of the French capitol.
During this prolonged visit In Paris,
Alfonso's movements were such that
the Paris police were driven nearly
frantic in their efforts to guard and
keep his .-entity unknown.
English detectives had a similar ex-
arin

cold facts, that the marriage, like
most of the other royal unions of
Europe, was arranged purely for po-

Naturally, the kings Spanish advis-

patch up the present trouble. They
have told the king plainly that his
neglect Of his kingdom for the gaieties

TAFT MAY ASK AID
FROM DEMOCRATS
President Threatens To Call Extra
Session To Confirm Trade Treaty
With Canada.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The
reciprocity agreement between the
United States and Canada will be
given some hard jolts in congress.
III the house should pass II after max
ing some changes IL Is freely predicted
that II cannot pass the senate.
This direful prophecy was carried
to the White House yesterday by
members who visited the president,
ostensibly on other business, but In
stead Of their creating a pessimistic
feeling there, Mr.. Taft, II Is said, re-
ceived them with smiles which indi.
Gated that one defeat would not turn
him from his purpost. In his own
party before surrendering control of
the house Of representative fails to
seize the opportunity and the credit
of putting into operation this reci-
procal trade pact, the president, II is
believed, will not hesitate to submit
his program to the Democrats, per-
haps even In an extra session OF the
new congress.
One man in the confidence OF the
president, who has has the administra-
ton mouthpiece, on more than one oc-
casion, came from the White House
with the declaration that the proposed
Canadian arrangement would not die
an easy death so long as Mr.. Taft
was In the White House.
The president was never more In
earnest In his life," said he. "He in
tends to stay with it, through this
session and to carry 1t TO the next
II necessary. He would not hesitate
to call an extra session IL he thought
such course would be necessary"
President Taft believes the mutual
concessions arranged by the United
States and Canada, especially the
large number Of articles Of foodstuffs,
which would be put on the free list
promises a great humanitarian move
ment that ultimately would mean a
material reduction in the cost of liv'
ing. He believes that even II the
promised reductions are not at once
apparent, the very presence Of this
document I'm congress will prove q
deterrent force against continued ad
vancement in the prices Of food.
