Of $3.50 per acre!
Hadn't I Just paid at Jacksonville
nearly 81 for box of fruit to send
home? Everybody does it, and like
everybody else | resolved to build OF
buy grove. Thereupon ! ran into
a mass of contradictions that were
utterly bewildering. For the next
day | was offered sixteen acre
grove containing abous 1900 or
ange and grapefruit trees for S.
600. Most of the trees were in full
bearing, too.
The word of the agent who offered

dition," he said, "and there is some
white fly in it which need not bother
you. A few hundrd dollars will put
it into fine shape. From the bloom

I'll answer that question if you
will answer one of mine," he
promptly responded. How is it that
one man will open store, neglect
his business and sell out to another
who will make money with the same
stock Of gooGs?"
That was an angle that had not
been considered. l ran across still
another point Of view when an agent
in a different part Of the state
showed me a twelve-acre grove six
years old. that had been sold for less
than $4,000. TIE same question
that l had asked the first agent l

capitalization and with it's cnly aS- sets. contracts for transportation with railroads and it's delivery department, the express companies seem 10 be In hole" The stock Cf these com panies have greatly depreciatcd and to experts who have made study of conditions during tine past three years. and end of lie express business as a separate and distinct business in this country seems 10 be matter of a few years at best.
 All forecasts point to the inevitable fact that the railroads must eventually take over the business. Ri@ntfuiIT 1t is held that the express business IS an incident of the railroad business and should never have been made an independent service. Some govern ment officials go 50 far as to say that the express business was created by certain kings of finances who alscoY- cred more than ole way i'll Wnl&h to ..4> railroad dio;.icH5S from, the pub lie. In other words by forming cX= press companies within their own control, while exploiting the railroad business upon the capitalization sup piled by stockholders, they controlled business tha tyearly earned millions of dollars which should rishtfully have been diverted into the pock9ts ol the stockholders of the railroads. In other words. the railroad performs the greatest work in the delivery of pack ages of express and receives only q small portion of the profit which the delivery produces.
 This condition having been actually determined upon, it was decided that the railroads should get moro cf the profits. It did not happen just that way for the express companies prof its.were cut, the railroads .'ro1l:s re- mained the same, but the shippers and consumers were benefited by the re- duced rate charges.
 of such policy could ne adopted in respect to the industrial trusts, an official remarked, maybe the price of gasoline would not he so liGh to the consumer
 Postmaster General Burleson, al- though asked to explain his concuct in arbitrarily lowering parcel post rates and authorizing the weight at which packages are to be carried, iy committee from Congress, carried his point and the American people will be able to send parcels through the post at much cheaper rates than hitherto, while the express companies are sadly reflecting over the situation.

CURRENT COMMENT
That New Year Reception.

The only objection of any consequence to
President Wilson's determination to do away
with the customary New Year reception at the
White House is that 1t Is the only occasion
when the public is freely admitted--the only
really democratic gathering of the year in the
historic mansion all other receptions being at
tended by those who have received special invi
tations This. however. is not a serious objection
when the other side of the question is con-
sdered. Presidential New Year receptions began
in the old days when II customary for peo-
pie in many circles of society to hold open
house to their friends the first day or the
year, All their friends and acquaintanees were
welcome and the day given up TO the greet
ing of callers Washington small city In
those days and when the White House doors
were open like the rest, 1t no overwhelm-
Ing task for the president to meet and shake
hands with all who called to pay their respects
But that time has passed Thousands now flock
TO the White House on New Year day where for
merlv and hundreds went as many as
900 visitors having been received on some re-
cent New Year days This is great tax on the
physical strength Of the president. Even bury
Mr. Taft complained of 1t. and Mr.. Wilson's
bodily endurance must be much less than his

quently that the South has labored under handi

Of the negro. However attempts to place the
figures prove otherwise More than half the

Is not at all responsible for their illiteracy He
Is responsible only In that he raises slightly
the percentage Of illteracy. When all the chill
dren who offered pubic school training
accept the offer. and no further facilities car
be given because all obtainablo funds are ex
hausted, then we may excuse the high percentage
of illiteracy by pointing TO tho white mans
