ranch site in the early sixties and his
sons summer home is Just across the
old Rooney ditch from this family
home. This Rooney ranch and the
Rooney ditch were the first irriga-
ton projects in this valley and as
such were a curiosity for the cattIemen
who controlled the country from mesa
to mountains. The aged cottOnwOOds
still mark the line of the Rooney's
ditch and the adobe walls of the
RoOney's original home are still stand

pride of his heart Located within ten
minute motor ride of the business dis
trict of Fort SOtcktOn, this five acre
vineyard is a marvel in this irrigated
district of agricultural and horticul-

the vineyards of the ancients, all that
is needed to complete the picture is a
pair Of sandaIed brothers bringing in
a giant cluster Of grapes on a Bonded
pole.

JACKSONVILLE HAS STRONG Y
w. c. A.

Jacksonville now has a very strong
organization of the Young Woman s
Christian Association. Miss Frances
Anderson, formerly of this city, is
one of the leading workers in this as
ISOLATION. Saturday night this asso-
citation held a banquet at which Miss
Ada Starkweather of Charlotte, n. c.,
Industrial secretary of the South At
lantic field, was guest of honor.
A number of speeches were made
and concerted effort is being made
to very largely increase the member
ship of the association this year.
Miss Anderson was one of the
speakers of the evening, and during
her address said that she had found
in the Y. w. c. A. an unique opportu-
nifty for joyous and profitable service
in that a girl may give whatever she
has of talents or time to the service
of other girls, and receive from them
as much as she gives, or more. No
ones efforts need be wasted in idle
experiments because association
methods have been established by
the experience of associations else
where, and through literature. but
chiefly through conferences with
trained leaders, a girl can learn how
to work to the best advantage. Every
girl finds keen enjoyment in the DOW
er of doing well some one thing aside
from her daily routine of duty and
pleasure. Although she forfeits the
title of "a leisure girl" in becoming
an association worker, Miss Anderson
declared that she is well repaid.

The Homosassa fishermen and
hunters are ready to leave for their
annual mid-winter outing on the west
coast of Florida. They carefully have
selected their hooks and tackle, oiled
their guns and packed their tents, and
tomorrow night they will slip away to
the little club house on the banks of
the Gulf of Mexico, in the haunts of
numerous species of wild duck, quail,
bear and deer, and all sorts of fish
J. l.. Harrison secuted ahead to get
everything in readiness for the party.
He is the expert on cooking and home
arrangements, being sure to have the
sleeping quarters of all sonOrous snor-
ers in a secluded section of the club
house. From the stories of some of
these fishermen, the snoring of some
of Atlanta's best known men is one of
the most striking features of this
camp life.
Colonel Harrison also was worried
about the cost of guides, since the
union has caught the spirit of the
high cost of living, and insists on in
creasing the pay of each guide from

There is every variety of sport in
