He was credulous, benevolent, I'M

the promoter had worked him to a
finish.
Meta Lysle was an orphant and
daughter of a half-sister of Bliss.
The old man knew her, and when
her mother died had seen to it that
her child was bestowed in the care
of the Pope family. They had made
Meta work for what they gave her.
One Christmas Jared Bliss had given
her pretty watch and chain. Its in

mother, and she had always cherish
ed the gift.
Feeling kindly as she always did
towards all humanity, Meta was
shocked at the petty meanness of the
Pope family when sickness and i'll
fortune overlook the aTtless kind

he was practically deserted. One
morning she appeared downstairs

eesds c. s. Lake.

The old Iowa Central is coming back
into it's own. Following the recent
selection of c. ". Huntington as vice
president and general manager of the
M & St. L.. to succeed w. G. Bierd,
Mr.. Huntington today appointed E. E.
Kerwin general superintendent of the
property. The appointment becomes
effective Thursday.
While the supposition since Mr..
Huntington became general manager
has been that Mr.. kerwin would be
his general superintendent no au-
thoritative announcement has been
made until today. Mr.. kerwin will sue
ceed c. S. Lake, who came from the
New York, New Haven & Hartford on
Aug. 10, 1912, and became the first
general superintendent Of the reorgan-
lied NJ. & ST. L., following the consoli-
dation with the Iowa. Cen ral.
Appointment Will Please.
The appointment Of Mr.. Kerwin as
general superintendent will please old
employees Of the railroad. who will be
more than glad to welcome back to the
property a former official. No two
more popular Iowa Central officials
ever had charge of the old Iowa Cen
trail than Mr.. Huntington and Mr..
kerwin. and that they were equally as
popular on the Jersey Central, which
they left early this month, was indi-
Gated by a reception given them at
Elizabeth before their departure. at
tended by 400 employees Of the road.
Upon this occasion Mr.. Huntington
was presented by the employees with
a diamond ring. and Mr.. Kerwin with
gold watch and chain.
Work Hand in Hand.
Mr.. Kerwin's appointment as next
officer under Mr.. Huntington is a logi-
cal one on the part Of the new general
manager. The two men have worked
successfully, hand in hand. for many
years. When Mr.. Huntington was gen
eral superintendent of the old Iowa
Central Mr.. Kerwin was trainmaster.
When Mr.. Huntington went east
twelve years ago to become general
superintendent of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, he took Mr.. kerwin
with him and made him division
superintendent.
Has Risen From Ranks.
Like his chief, Mr.. Kerwin has risen
from the ranks. He earned his first
money as a boy carrying water for
section gang. He did manual labor.
but was not satisfied with that. He
learned telegraphy. became an oper-
ator, worked on different railroads. and
N time became a dispatcher. From a
trick kerWin became chief dispatch
er, and was holding that position here
when he first met Mr.. Huntington, in
1894. One year later Mr.. Huntington
made Mr.. kerwin trainmas:er of the
Centra., and he served as such until he
accompanied Mr.. Huntington TO the
Jersey Central.
Mr. Kerwin has been west several
days, and will take up his official
duties Immediately.

SURE PROFIT FOR FARMERS.
Analysis Of What Can Be Done on a
Small Acreage Locality.

The way to make high priced land
bring profitable return, is to raise
,, canning produce. The possibilities to
be realized from growing truck crops
are very great. Ask those who have
made specially of growing these
crops.
The man who has ten or twenty
acres can be independent o: all labor
questions We offer to consume such
variety of crops that he can handle
each in it's turn without additional
outside labor. The planting and culti-
walton of corn comes first, then fol-
lowed by the setting and cultivation of
tomatoes. After both Of these crops
are well under way. cabbage setting
begins. In the harvesting of these
crops corn comes first, followed with
tomatoes and then later with cabbage.
Anyone with twenty acres could profit
ably grow the following crops as cut
lined:
Ten acres of corn.
Ten acres Of pumpkins in corn.
Five acres of cabbage.
Five acres Of tomatoes.
The returns to be expected would be
as follows:
35 tons of corn at $500 per ton. .s245.0o
% tons pumpkin at $3.50 per ton $3.50
40 tons cabbage at $500 per ton $4,000
80 tons tomatoes at SO per ton 10000
Revenue from above sS7250
This would represent return Of
s43.62 per acre. or almost 90 per cent
on 10000 an acre land. The estimates
given are not theoretical, but yields
have actually been made year after
year by some Of our growers. The
prices paid this season by our factory
are as given above with the addition
of hominy corn at 20 cents per bushel.
