Big Schemes for Montevidco

AS result of the city planning COM
petition, held some months ago, tho
city government of Montevideo has
given its approval to a very extensive
and ambitious project which will prac-
tically transform the city. says the Ar
chitectural Record. The main featuI e
is the construction of number of d.
rect and diagonal wide avenues run
ming between various parts of the
city, the port, and the principal sub
urbs. Along these. sites are provided
for new governments palace; a palace
of justice. a nationa1 museum and IL
brary, municipal hall and municipal
theatre, new general postoffice, and
various other edifices of public char
acter. The government does not pro-
pose to undertake these constructions
all at once Its intention is to conf
mence with the new government pal
ace, and with two broad avenues con-
meeting that with the new legislative
palace (already partially builD and
with the port This. however, seems
a pretty good beginning. The site se-
,lected for the government palace is on
the outskirts of the city, and to provide
it the government has already decree,i
the appropriation of 20 blocks of land.
each consisting of about 11.000 square
yards. Only one-fourth or one-fifth of
this space will be actually occupied,
the idea being to resell the remainder
(present owners being allowed the
preference) at an increased value, as a
source of revenue, and. with the same
object, to impose a higher value" tax
on all adjacent properties. The same
system will be followed in the ex-
preparations necessary for building the
avenues. These plans are viewed with
some alarm by property owners, for,

FIRST BALE BROUGHT
TO FORT DEPOSIT

Fort Deposit. August I-(special)-Th
first bale of cotton of the season was
brought to Fort Deposit saturday 1t was
raised by Isaac Rudolph, a negro tenant
on the Berganier plantation a few miles
west of Fort Deposit, ana sold to Joseph
Norwood for u cents pound Three
other bales came in a few hours later
The hot winds and weather of the past
10 days have played havoc with the cotton
throughout this immediate section, caus-
ing the young forms to shed at an alarm
ing rate, and the bolls to open prema-
,turely. The plant 10 days ago promised
to be the best grown here in many years,
now it is conceded by conservative farm
ers to be about 20 per cent normal.

BANANAS GROWING
AT BAY. MINETTE

Bay Minette, August 17-(Special)
Probate Judge j. II. H. Emith is justly
proud of two large banana bushes which
are growing on either side of the en-
trance to the courthouse door on which
are a number of fine lunches of bananas.
The fruit is growing rapidly and is be-
ing watched with great care, since they
are far enough along at this time to be
expected to mature fully before cold
weather sets in.
While none of the punches are full
length, yet they are the largest that have
been seen at this place. They grow in a.
protected place and the bushes did not
freeze down over winter as they usually
do.

the seventies and eighties. BY
persistent concentration on
thoughts Of independence and
prosperity, and by sensible meth
DDS of economy (Which does not
mean parsimony) any able
bodied and clear minded man or
woman of so can reach inde-
pendence before old age arrives.
Fifty is the morning of old
age, some one has said, and the
evening of youth.
In these times we do not talk
about old age, for it is relative
term; and some people of 90
have not reached it
But the years go by neverthe-
less, and independence and COM
fort and even luxury are excel
lent stats for people in advanced
life.
Youth can be interesting and
happy in poverty, but age must
have the environment of mate
rial comforts and the dignity of
independence to be enjoyable.
While you think of laying aside
a small sum for your own future,
do not hesitate to give small
amount to brighten the lives of
the homeless old. Every penny
