Ensev's letters and smiled obviously.
The plan they thought, was hardly

and he wanted no money in advance

1t wasn't very long before Ensey
began getting repeat orders accompi =
MED by checks for his last shipmen' :.
In little while the postmaster OF
rropic began to complain of over
work because of Ensey's parcel post
shipments, but Ensey wasn't through.
HE MAILS VEG GTABLEs TOO.
The orange season drew to close
aud Ensey began to branch out in
business. He tried tomatoes and the
results Were as good, if not better,
than those obtained from the orange
mail order scheme. Ensey found that
he could pack his tomatoes in small
boxes, slip on some stamps and reap
a profit.
Still Ensey would not stop. He in
cluded beans, peppers, pineapples and
cucumbers in his marketing system
and Uncle Sam carried away his stuff
as fast as he could wrap it up. Now,
it is not known whether Ensav had
included thn possibility of an increas-
ed weight limit in his plans or wheth-

it turn out that way, but the first
thing Tropic and Ensey knew, the
postm ter-general had boosted The
weight limir to 80 pounds and Ensey
found that small packages were no
longer necessary.
Today Ensey is handling, direct to
retailers IN all parts of the southern
states, about all the beans, pineapplos,
tomatoes, oranges and cucumbers that
Tropic can crow. Uncle Sam is find

PARCEL POST
MAKES TOWN

Washington, May 2l.-Tropic was
mighty small dot on the map in the
orange belt of Florida until the par
eel post came along and lettered its
name in red ink.
The products, consisting principally
of citrus fruits. were at the mercy OF
the transportation companies until the
parcel post law pointed the way out
of its diff, u ties. It's orchards were
producing wealth that might be class
ed as "untold" if only the fruit could
be sent to market, but the railroads
were unreasonable and the express
companies were prohibitive in their
tariffs. The fruit was allowed to rot
on the ground because the markets
were closed to them and things were
mighty black for the people of Tropic,
until, proyidentially, the parcel post
came TO their rescue.
Representative Claude L'Engde, who
repres is the people of the First dis
tricU of Florida in Congress, tells the
story while sitting in his home at
Chevy Chase. Mr.. L'Engle, iDciden-
tally, spends his summers in Florida
boosting the parcel post and his V in
ters in Washington fighting the rheu-
matism.
THE MAN WHO MADE TRoPIc.
| Mr.. L'Engle doesn't take the credit
for the metamorphosis of Tropic for
his own. but gives it to Geo. f. Ensey,
Tropic fruit grower, When the ex-
press companies were charging dol
lar a box to haul box of oranges to
the northern markets and the railroads
asserted they had no freight cars for
fruit. Mr.. Ensey, with a copy OF the
parcel post law in his hand, began to
figure" Then he wrote to all deal

The Root of tho Mexican Crisis.

co, where the revolution has been
| strongest, is a land of ~vast-estates
| like that of the Tarasas. The land is,
in many places. very rich. There are
valleys whose possibilities for raising
! food and supporting a great popula-
ton rival those of the San joaquin or
Sacramento, whose soil has hardly
been scratched.
The poems, descendants of the or
iginal owners Of all the land in Mex

the administration OF PoFfiro Diaz,
we've driven off their small holdings
in order to make room for huge, use

to support a high cultivation, Mexico

The American exploitation of North

THE WIRELESS IN WAR.

The next naval war the world wit

prominence. BY means of it naval
~precedents Of long standing will be
overthrown and new ones established.
Commanders of fleets and Of individ-
ual ships, where there is no fleet form

themselves, when they steam away
from the home shores, and meet on
ditions not covered by their sailing or
ders.
They will make daily reports to their
national capitals, and at all times be

hourly orders, if necessary. Without
the wireless this would be possible
only to a limited degree. due to the
fact that cable lines are comparatively
few in numner, and are only found
along the beaten paths of commerce,
and not in the out Of the way corners
Of the world. where naval operations

NORTH DAKOTA CANNED GOODS.

1t was J. J. Hill who first gave wide
publicity to the statement, that the
farther north any product Of the earth
can be matured, the better its quality.
There is a good reason for this theory.
IThe farther north fruit or vegetables
can be matured, the more continuous
sunshine it will have received during
ats ripening period, and the more SUM-
shine that is absorbed, the sWeeter its
flavor and finer it's growth.
The long summer days, with the
sun rising earlier and setting later
than at any point to the south. COM
tpensates this part Of the world for
1.-The shorter summer period. And it
has been proved by actual results that
b8his is more than a theory. North
Dakota Strawberries, raspberries and
bther fruits have a finer flavor, than
rsr be obtained from any other
source.
This is equally true Of vegetables.
North Dakota grown tomatoes and
sweet corn cannot be eXcelled, for
5navor. Because Of this fact the time
gxvill come when North Dakota canned
goods will have a national reputation
Sor quality.
