The ruth
About Florida
There are all kinds of lands in

There are all kinds of lands in
Florida-good, bad and Indifferent.
This statement is just as true of
Illinois land. 1t is true of Iowa.
1t is true of California or any State,
north, east, south or west.
Some regions in Florida are
worthless for agricultural pur-
poses. Other tracts have and are
today returning their owners a
rich income every year. These
good tracts were bought by people of
judgment-people who kept their eyes
open and saw what they were buying.
People who have been 3stung" in
their land purchases in Florida and
other States bought carelessly. They
did not investigate. They knew lit
tie of the soil, climate and rainfall
They did not ask, "Has anybody
ever made money growing vegeta-
bles and oranges here?" They took
the word of the land salesman. Some
times they lost their money. In
stead of blaming the land company
or their own careless judgment, they
criticised the entire State.

in Florida land selling-in all
land selling. We have begun that
change.
The Wauchula Development
Co. was organized after a $4,000
mile search for land that could
be sold under guarantee. The
tract is different from ordinary Flor
ida land. IT. is known as Conbina-
ton Soil. Now this Wauchula Com
bination Soil is equally well adapted
to vegetables and citrus fruit.

1t offers peculiar advantages.
Our settlers come here with little
money.
They set out their grape fruit
and orange trees. Then instead of
wasting money on living expenses
while waiting for these trees to ma
ture, they earn money by growing
vegetables. They plant vegetables
between the tree rows. The warm,
pleasant climate, abundant rainfall,
good drainage, produce three crops
a year-sometimes four.
Settlers in the Wauchula, Flor
ida, District practically pay their
way from the start. Once you're
established, vegetables earn a good
comfortable living right along. And
all the time the grape fruit and
orange trees are getting bigger.
When they begin to bear the real
profits come in. Orange growers
make So 900 to 81, 900 year. Some
make $40, 900 and more. We don't
emphasize these high incomes es-
pecially. Because there are not SO
many of them. But So, 600 a year,
5000 and $1,000 are common.
100000 bank deposits in three
small towns within a radius of five
miles prove the grove owners pros
perity. Steve Griffin made over
$4,000 from Is acres of grape fruit
and orange trees this last year
only part of his grove. W. L. Warren
made over $1,000 the first year he
was down here. Some men here
don't feel that they are doing well
unless they make better than 81 900
on every acre every year.

AN OPPORTUNITY.

IL All Southern California will be intensely inter-
ested in watching the development Of project proposed
by the Los Angeles Tribune and Express for the building
Of merchant marine to be owned at and operated from
that city.
The greatest cities of all time have been those which
have built themselves into maritime power. The mere
9act that city has ha1hor does not make it great
commercial metropolis is the.force Ct the people about
the harbor that determines the achievement.
The avenues Of trade are ever shifting. Phoenica,
Venice the Hanseatc cities, London, Liverpool and AM
sterdam Illustrate this fact we'll the fact that the de-
teInlining clement in trade is the personal 0nc.
There is but thing that stands in the way Of Los
Angeles becoming of the great commercial cities of
the world end that is the lack Of the commercial instinct
which has often been noted.
If the will exists among the people to make of
their city great maritime center, there is nothing that
can prevent the accomplishment Of that purpose ard

MARK TWAIN AND THE WAR.

w In the philosophy Of Mark Twain when the first
crobe was created all the remainder of the worlds his
tory became an inevitable sequence.
The war of the world now beginning is an iustra-
ton of this doctrine for this is but of the countless
struggles which have arisen in world history in conse
Qence first Of the disposition of man. and second in the
laalgamation of races.
Awful as it is back Of lies the mpelng forces Of
nature wastefu Of they wastefu of all things
in leading on through evolution t. that higher and better
state toward which the world eternaly moves.
Man being what he is, and the great races Of mankind
being what they and where they are, this supreme
4nd let us hope final struggle had become necessity
But when Edward Atkinson decades ago read to Eu-
rope the lesson Disarm Starve," he presented great
truth and have ground to hope that the awfulness
Of this war will force that truth home and bring out of
the struggle the greatest Of peace and prosperity
known to man.

Beware of Rain Makers" "

! In the current issue Of Farm and
Iiresidc, the national farm paper puU-
lshed at Springeld, o., a contributor
calls attention to the fact that every
summer when the growing crops be-
gin to perish for lack Of water, men
called rain makers" begin their work
They move to some drought-stricken
locality and proclaim their ability to
bring showers for a financial consid-
Grafton. Of course faremrs are will
/ ing TO pay we'll for rain when rain
| is needed and often considerable mon
j ey is raised for this purpose and paid
/ to the "rain makers"
! Now the question arises as TO
whether these men can produce rain.
The experience of a Texas community
in the summer of 1912 is worth con-
sidering. The story was published
throughout the United States that on
June II, 1912, Texas "rain makers
by the use of dynamite produced
showers. A careful investigation of
the records of the weather bureau in
( Washington seems, however, to dis
close the fact that on June II, 1912,
conditions were favorable for rain in
all the Gulf states. The weather bu-
reau's prediction for June II, 1912,
was: For Texas and Oklahoma, show
ers tonight; and as a matter of fact
cloudinesS and scattered showers were
general throughout Texas and Okla
hGma on the date of the extended dy.
namiting which lasted five hours and
was followed by a slight downfall.
Farm and Fireside's contributor goes
on to say:
''This of course puts different face
upon the whole matter. Since cloudi-
ness and showers were general
throughout a large territory, and since
the weather bureau actually predicted
the conditions that prevailed, the con-
clusiCn is inevitable that rain max
ers' were as little responsible as the
man in the moon. In fact, the blind
faith that could connect lombard
ment of the sky with the beginning
of summer shower which proved
too light to be of benefit and at
a time when showers were general,
is nothing less than sublime.
"This is only one instance, but in
variably investigation disloses a SINH
lar state of affairs. No scientist Of
standing places the least confidence
ir the pretensions of rain Makers
I The natural forces that cvaporate i'm
mcnse quantities of water, transport
! the vapor often hundreds of miles,
and then condcnse it ag2in to water
are too immense for man to cope
with.
"Only persons not acquainted with
the facts can have enough confidence
in rain makers to pay them money.

WHARFAGE RATES UP
 BEFORE COUNCIL

The proposal of Councilman J. R. Willis to increase wharfage rates over the city dock came up for extended discussion before the City Council last night. MT. Willis moved that the rates be advanced July 1st from 50 cents a ton to $1 a ton. The motion was seconded by Councilman c. w. Fries, and the matter went over until the next meeting.
 MET. Willis recently had prepared a statement of the city's wharf trans. actions covering the last eight years and which showed that the net income of the wharf, on an original investment of S5,S39, exclusive of pro. fits from the handling of coal, amounts to $1,771.S4 for the period, or about 4 per cent. Since the establishment of the wharf the investment has been increased, according to this state ment, until the city has approximate ly $3O,OOO invested in the dock plant, including site, wharf, coal shed and cold storage plant. Mir. Willis says that to keep up the wharf and pro- vide facilities for handling the traffic further investment will be required. He believes that the property should be made to pay reasonable interest on the investment for the reason that the benefits from wharf, are not sufti' ciently distributed among all the peo' pie to make 1t fair for the city to main tain it without securing profit from it: particularly at a time when the demand for city improvements from all sections of the town is so great.
 Mir. Willis said at the council meet ing last night that the wharfage rates in other Southeastern Alaska towns runs from $1 to $1.50 ton.
 Mayor John Beck, on the other hand, contends that the records of the operation of the City Dock before 1912 are in such a condition that they can not be accepted as guide, and that the wharf is now paying the city ap' proximately $500 a month, or fair interest on the investment.
 The matter will come up for con- sideration at the next meeting of the Council.
