Only few years ago lines were a
drug on the market. Nobody wanted
them. At the present time they sell
readily. Chase & Co. are now ship.
ping about eight barrels daily from
Miami. Hooks & Hughes shipped
thirty barrels last week and receive
about car day at present al
though last week they received five
cars on one day. These lines are
from the keys and of very good
quality. Homer Hughes, of Hooks &
Hughes, says that the key lines
stand shipment better and also bring
better prices than do the mainland
lines. He reports that they arc not
troubled with the stem end rot, as
they were last year. Boats are ne
cccsity in hauling lines from the

THE ALLIGATOR PEAR.

There is no new fruit that
gives more promise of becoming the
basis Of a profitable industry than
the avocado. according to a bulletin
issued by the Hawaii experiment sta
ton. Its reputation is being more
widely established each year. Its
unique character reduces to a mini
mum its competition with other
fruits. while its rich, nut-like flavor
is almost universally enjoyed among
those who have known it long enough
to become familiar with its peculiar
charm. II is SO unlike other fruits
as to suggest class of its own, and
fer this reason it has been called a
salad fruit" But ii is used in many
other ways.
The demand for the avocado has
always kept in advance of the sup.
ply. This is evidenced by the high
prices PAID Tor 1t, ranging usually
from 81 to 80 cents each ct retail
Although the markets are at presen,
limited. there does not seem to bt
any immediate danger of over-pro
duetion.
The fruit has many names such a.
midshipman's butter, butter pear
vegetable marrow, palta. aguacat,
and alligator pear. The name "avo
cado" has now been adopted and ha
the sanction of the United States de
partment of agriculture. the Amer
lean Psychological Society and othe
Horticultural organizations.

RATES. NAY BE LOWERED

To consider whether or not a re-
duction shall be made in the rates of
tic Southern Express Co., the Flor
idf. railroad commission has an
nCunced that it will hold a meeting
ir its Offices at Tallahassee Sept. 3,
proposing a scale of rates nearly 25
per cent less than are now in force.
The lowering of the express rate
would mean a great deal to the citrus
growers of Florida and the vegetable
and local commission men
are much interested and are hoping
that the railroad commission will see
fit to obtain cheaper transportation.
While most Of the shipments of fruit
and vegetables arc now sent by
freight in refrigerator cars. it is
often much more desirable. owing to
market conditions. weather condi-
tons. or the perishablc quality of
the frui; to snip by express.

FLORIDA FOR THE
SMALL FARMER.

Florida land companies have been
SO successful in disposing of land at
good prices because they appeal to
the now almost universal desire for
small farms. A corollary to the we'll
defined movement of "back to the
farm" is the desire to farm intcn-
sivcly small tract.
Big ranches and great farms have
had their day. The era of the small
farm is here. Sections where small
farms are possible are receiving the
bulk of this new element.
Florida is such state par excel
lence. 1t meets the conditions ad-
mirably. On five acres Of the right
kind Of land 1t is possible to support
a family comfortably A successful
truck farmer Of wide experience
makes thep 0sitive assertion that he
has made more good, clean money
when he paid the closest attention to
five acres Of good trucking land than
he did with big grove and a more
extended area of soil. He got to
know his land intimately and to real.
lie Its possibilities He made the
best use possible Of his knowledge
and good profits resulted every year.
He has become an authority on truck
raising from his experience on this
five-acre tract.
Ten acres OF Florida soil ought to
keep the average farmers family
busy during the cropping season and
give them time for recreation during
the hotter months of summer.
These remarks refer largely to the
sections where trucking and fruit
growing are possible. There are 9TH
er portions of the State where cotton
IL grown, or where cattle are fed,
which require larger areas. But In
the main Florida is the ideal place
for the small farmer. Miami Me-

G., rds. Oh. their lines were full of a
thrObbing fire. and the way they
warbled on Music's peak would make
a fellow rear up and shrek. But soon
! tired OF their soaring strains; such
pc mes are hard on fat mans brains
when the sweat rolls down from his
tcil-worn phiz. and the hungry flies
all around him whiz. So got a book
that was full of lays produced at

their rhwmes In the daily press: and
1t does look bad. but I must confess
that these modern verses refreshed
my soul. weighed down by the great
bards' rigmarole. For the soaring
poet forever speaks Of the ancient
gods and the ancient Greeks. Of
knights In armor and musty kings,
and myths and legends and hoary
things. All, how much wiser the
jingling Jay. who writes of people on

We understand! Now bringing a
smile from ear to ear, now dimming
the eye with briny tear, now taking

BEAUTRUL LAWNS

Tho general opinion that 1t Is al
r,ost impossible to grow good, SUD-
stantial lawns in the sandy SOILS OF
Florida, is an old and exploded idea.
What the northerncr misses in Flor
ids. is the soft green lawns that he
h:s been accustomed to and which
are so restful to the eye and beauti-
full to look upon.
Whether it be in the stiff clay soils
OF the ncrth or the sandy lands of
tie south, really fine lawn is the
price of constant and unccmitting
care. Our experience in the sandy
lands here is that with intelligent
care lawns that cannot be surpassed
in beauty and fincncss of texture can
be grown. Many persons who are
lovers of nature and desire green
lawns and have sandy soils go to the
expense Of having the sand taken out
and replaced with either hammock
soil or muck, process which is ex-
ponsive and the results are no bet
t.. for all this trouble.
After the grass has thoroughly
taken root. sprinkle the ground with
blood. bone and potash, giving it a
fairly good application. then water
thoroughly and keep it we'll watcred.
H. about a month give another appli-
cation of the same fertilizer, now
ing the grass once in two weeks.
After the grass covers the ground but
little fertilizer is needed. say two or
three applications during the year.
Ore of the important matters Is the
moving. This should be done at
least once in two weeks and during
the rainy season once each week is
better.
There is q great satisfaction in a
e. sely shaved, green and closely
matted lawn, and each and everyone
can have one to enjoy by following
these directions

the premises

Gainesville has been served with a
notice by its private owned electric
light plant that on Aug. 81 the plant
will close down indefinitely. and the
city will be out in the dark as well
as the cold. It is thought that the
management came to this decision
when the city decided they would
erect their own plant and not pur-
chase the plant now in operation.
This is a unique situation indeed,
and we await future developments
with interest. Lakeland will never
be subjected to any such inconveni-
ence, her splendidly equipped mu-
nicipal light and water plant being

citizen points to with pride.

No, she decided then and there, she

recollection OF his kiss was not al

not done himself any good by that

reckless attempt to rife the treasure
of her lips. No man had ever really
touched her heart, although many had
engaged her interest. Her experience
therefore was not deflnitive or con.

Armstrong. In spite of all that she
might have said, she would have
thrilled to the remembrance of that

were somewhat heavily against him

trail alone.

no means the first woman he had
kissed-remember, suspicious reader,
that he was not from PhiladelIglia-
hers were not the first ears into
which he had nOured passionate
protestations. He was neither bet
ter nor worse than most men, perhaps
he fairly enough represented the aver
age; but surely fate had something
better In store for such a superb wom-
an. A girl of such attainments and
such infinite possibilities, she must
mate higher than with the average
man. Perhaps there was a subcon-
seriousness Of this In her mind as she
silently waited to be overtaken by the
rest Of the party.
There We're curious glances and
strange speculations in that little
company as they saw her sitting her
horse alone, A few moments before
James Armstrong had passed them at
gallop, he had waved his hand as
he dashed by and had smiled at them,
hope giving him a certain assurance,

His demeanor was not in consonanca

of the way.

has said, had known him from a boy.

WHICH marCIanu ulu not and could not
approve, but they were Of the past, he
reflected, and Armstrong was after
all pretty good sort. Mr.. Maitlands
standards were not at all those Of his
Philadelphia brother, but they were
very high. His experiences of men
had been different; he thought that
Armstrong, having certainly by this
time reached years of discretion, could
be safely entrusted with the precious
treasure of the young girl who had
been committed to his care, and for
whom his affection grew as his knowl-
edge Of and acquaintanceship with her
increased
AS for Mrs. Maitland and the two
girls and the youngster, they were
Armstrong; devoted friends. They
knew nothing about his past, indeed
there were things in it of which Matt
land himself was ignorant, and which
had they been known to him might
have caused him to withhold even his
tentative acquiescence In the possibili-
ties.
Most of these things were known
skill, amusing nonchalance and amaz.
ing profanity, albeit most of 1t under
his breath lest he shock the ladies,
tooteu aIong the four nervous, excited
bronchos that drew the big supply
wagon. Kirkby was Maitland's oldest
and most valued friend: He had been
the latter's deputy sheriff, he had
been a cowboy and a lumberman,
mighty hunter and successfr iner,
and now, although he had &C ed q
reasonable competence, and had nice
little wife and pleasant home In the
mountain village at the entrance to
the canon, he drove stage for pleas
ure rather than for profit. He had
given over his daily twenty-five mile
jaunt from Morrison to Troutdale to
other hands for short space that he
might spend little time with his old
friend and the family who were all
greatly attached to him on this outing.
Enid Maitland, girl of kind that
Kirkby had never seen before, had
won the old mans heart during the
weeks spent on the Maitland ranch.
He had grown fond of her, and he did
not think that Mr.. James Armstrong
mer1ted that which he evidently so
overwhelmingly desired. Kirkby was
well along in years, but he was quite
capable of playing mans game for
all that, and he intended to play it in
this instance.
Nobody scanned Enid Maitland's
face more closely than he, sitting
bumped up on the front seat of the
wagon, onesfoot on the high break, his
head sunk almost to the level of his
knee, his long whip in his hand, his
keen and somewhat fierce brown eyes
taking in every detail of what was 60
Ing on about him. Indeed there was
but little that came before him that
old Kirkby did not see.
