DEPUTY COLLECTORS MAY Go.
Forty-One Internal Revenue Men il
Virginia Affected by Ruling.

Washington, July 1.-THE way is
now open for the ousting of the Re-
publican deputy collectors of inter
ral revenue and replacing them with
Democrats who measure up to the re-
quired standard Of efficiency under
the Wilson administration.
It was developed that Republican
deputy collectors of Internal revenue
in Virginia, who were placed under
the protection Of the civil service by
President Roosevelt in 1906, have not
strong hold on their jobs. Under a
ruling of the administration Esle
terms Of these officeholders expire
with the term Of the collector, and it
is optional with the new collector
whether or not the old deputies are
retained. Forty-one deputy collectors
in Virginia are affected by this ruling.
Announcement was made by the
Evil service commission yesterday
that civil service examinations for the
creation of an eligible list for the in
ternal revenue service will be held in
Virginia August 16, at the following
places: fredericksburg, Newport
News; Danville, Lynchbhrg, Roanoke,
Staunton, Charlottesville, Petersburg.
Richmond, Abingdon, Alexandria, and
Winchester.
The eligible list will be composed,
of the presnt deputies, who will top
it. and the men who take these exam
nations. They will rank next to the
present deputies in accordance with
their averages.
The new collectors Of internal rev.
enue of the two Virginia districts
when they take up their duties, may,
f they desire, select from the eligible,
list. men for their deputies. The
COLLECTION cannot appoint men not on
list. Persons desiring to take the eX-
aminations should file APPLICATIONS with
the civil service commission by Aug
ust nth.
This announcement will have
bombshell effect among the forty-one
deputy collectors of internal revenue
IN Virginia. 1t has been claimed the'
they had a fast hold on their job!
as long as no charges of misconduct
was proven against them. The inter
probation of the administration OF the
executive order, placing these men
under the civil service, knocks th'
props from their claim. 1t does no.
mean, however, that the incoming
Democratic collectors will be able tt
pick any of their friends for the jobs
1T Goes mean that the men selected
must stand a test of efficiency.
The Republican deputies were no.
required to stand a civil service ex
animation when they were placed ii
the classified service by Roosevelt.

YOU'RE, NOT TOO LATE.

There comes time in the lives of
most of us when We look back with
the bitterest regret to wasted years
that might have been spent in pre-
pairing us for a great opportunity.
Don't you ever envy some of your
friends who were saving and are now
independent? Perhaps it is not too
late for you to make a start-to be-
come independent in a very short time.
Florida is a country ready made for
the new settler, or at least, where all
kinds of needed raw material for the
farm are within easy reach. and where
climatic conditions make il an ideal
home for the man of limited means.
I A new settler in Florida has it easy
in comparison with those of other
states. Lumber for the home is cheap,
and most times there is plenty on
the land for all outbuildings, fence
posts, etc. Water may be obtained at
from feet and farther and often a
flowing well is found. But few acres
need be titled.
No large percentage Of the farm
needs be set apart for hay production.
for the crabgrass and beggarweed
grow up spontaneously in the fields
after the crops are Ind by and they
make excellent hay. In the woods pas
ture and water are found in abundance
and wild grasses all the year round.
Nowhere else is it so easy to become
independent as here in Florida. Some
thing is growing all the year round.
Conditions are favorable for a man
OF limited means to make himself rich.
Good Florida land will soon become
scarce. What is left is increasing in
value rapidly and it behooves- you to
make up your mind to come here at
once, or at least buy tract for the
future. It is inadvisable to delay.
Now is the time. Don't put it off till
tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes.

will find that the cost of feeding a, COW
year will just about equal the value
of 1900 pounds of milk It is easy &c
calculate the approximate profit If We
know the amount of milk produced.
The gross income from a COW produc-
ing 5000 pounds Of milk will vary
somewhat. This will depend upon how
the products are disposed Of. If 1t is
sold as whole milk, the 5000 pounds
or 698 gallons at 80 cents per gallon
will give a gross income OF S20e.4O.
IL this milk should test 4 per cent fat,
and it should. it will make ESQ pounds
of butter at 45 cents per pound gives
a return OF $4,000. IF instead of max
ing butter it is converted into 90 per
cent cream, we get 1923 gallons Of
cream at s1.25 per gallon, an income or
$17S.50 and still have left $50 gallons
of skim milk that will be found vslu-
able in feeding to calves, hogs, or
chickens.
At the present price OF milk and
cream. it is very evident that the
dairyman who produces butter is doing
it at a loss. II he viii sell milk or
cream, he will get larger return for
the products and with less labor.
