I was in Vera Cruz, Mexico, on duty

vestigating I found a man who said
that his name was John Hartzog, and
after holding conversation with this
wounded man, he said he would like to
trust q package Of very valuable pa
pers to me and they were to pc deliV-
cred to Miss Lillian Hartzog, a rela-
tive Of his, and upon giving me these
papers he gave me . picture of her
taken some time ago.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I have exerted
every means to locate this young lady

VIII the European War
End By March, Next?

| One OF the most encoura 9iug signs
that the war in Europe viii not last
many months longer is contained IN
a recent telegram from England which
states that the brokers as LloTa's are
freely underwriting insurance that
the war will be over by March 81, of
next year. Naturally the rate is high
and, reduced to q betting basis, the
odds quoted are ten to six that hos.
tiIities viii have ended by that tina.
Probably no institution in the world
is in position to more correctly esti-
mate the duration Of the war tor the
representatives of Lloyd's are in
every city OF the world and, as gen
erai thing. they are men who are in
close touch with the pulse Of public
affairs It is notorious that the
Lloyd's brokers will pet upon any
thing, but 1t is also well known that
they win far ottener than they lose.
The present Lloyd's is corporation
located in the Royal Exchange, Lam
don. It was chartered by the English
Pe1 AcAA4CAI al 4Sd4 LOI I@G PN@ POSS "a
conducting the business Of marine ip-
surance and while this is its principal
business, insurance against anything
on the face Of the earth may be Sc
cured from. the individual brokers or
from a combination, in case the |
amount OF insurance desired is too
much for any one to handle.
Lloyds originates from a coffee
shop opened in 1888, in Tower street,
London, which became a resort for
shipping men. Lloyd founded a news
paper and his shop became a meeting
place for shipping underwriters. To-
day the business OF Lioyd'S is similar
In many respects to that of the larg-
est stock exchange Of this country.
There are hundreds Of members who
bid upon or appertion risks of every
description AID it is possible to set
Insurance upon any kind of a propo-
sition or against disaster of any char
acter.
With the Lloyd's brokers betting ten
% six that the war will end by March
Il. it is safe to presume that they
ave a reasonable pasis tor assuna
ne that hostilities will cease by that
ine. Lloyd's seldom makes q mis-

Ny dear colonel:
I have read with considerable inter
est the controversy that has been rag
ing between The Journal and my Old
friend Uncle joe Dixon, of the
Lakeland Telegram relative TO the
voracity Of sharks in connection with
attacks upon human beings, and it has
occurred to me that Uncle joe has
not been given credit for expert testi-
mony on the subject. AS a matter OF
fact 'Unc1e joe knows all about
sharks, no matter what anyone may
say to the contrary for he has had
ample opportunity to study them at
close range. In proof thereof I re-
specially submit the following:
One summer day several years ago
when Uncle Joe was on the staff Of
The Journal. took him for an exeur-
when short distance off Garcon
point, the batteries gave out and the
motor, in consequence. refused to
mote. We managed to paddle the
launch to shallow water and or
ganized myself into a relief expedi-
ton. After had removed my cloth
ing and tied it up into a. neat little
bundle preparatory to wading ashore,
intending to leave Uncle Joe on board
until returned with help. he oegan
to murmur.
Say, Ben" quoth he," are there any
sharks about heFe?''
Coolies Of them" replied ~But
they won't get you if you stay in the

You're quite sure they won't come |

'foh, we'll, they may jump up along |

but they will hardly be able to get in" |
I answered. Suppose you study them |
a little, while I'm gone
NOW see here, Ben said Uncle /
Joe. IT haven't lost any sharks and
I'm not anxious to find any. I'll stay
in the boat, all right, for I can't get
out. But you hurry back. There's no
telling what might happen"

when hove ia sight on board a little

Satsurna Oranges In
Escan1bia County.

The address yesterday before the
Greater Pensacola club luncheon by
Prof T. E. McIlroy, Of the horttcul-
tural department Of the L. 4 N rail"
road, should have been heard by every
progressive citizen Of Escambia coun-
ty
Prof Mcnroy went on to show, first,
that the same character Of soil, the
same climate, and the same rainfall
EXISTS from Pensacola all along the
Gulf Coast to New Orleans. He then
showed, second, what the people Of the
Alabama and Mississippi coast sec
lions are doing in the development OF
their truck farming and satsunna or
anee industries, while Escanbia Coun-
ty. Florida, 10 doing practically moth
Ing.
The comparison was anything but
dattertng to Eecambda ceunty-and al
because our own people. with the same
or better opportunities, are neglecting
to do for themselves what the people
of the other sections are doing to de-
velop their communities and make
themselves rich
The country back Of Pensaccla is
suited to many products, out partIcu-
1arly to satSuna oranges. peeans. and
vegetables.
Satsumas WI stand q temperature
of Is degrees Fahrenheit and live and
bear. Only once in Is years has the |
mercury been as low as that in this
section. But even with a. lower tenn
perature than that q. satsuma grove |
may still be protected by the use
smudge pots.
A feature emphasized by Prof. Nell |
roy was the fact that satsuras viii |
not only yield a profit in themselves
but that an orange grove is the pesn
real estate argument. People will buy
real estate where there are orange
groves when there would not other
wise even look at it That is one rea-
son why the other sections Of the gulf
coast are settling up and dsvaIoping 50
fast
Prof. Mcurcy ALEC emphasized an
other point. viz; that a man cannot
expect to make a great success in try
ng to "go it alone in any Of these en-
erprises. There should be farmers as
;octations, where enough would agree
o plant at certain times In certain ,

PRODUCTS along at one time and in {
