Peaches and Pluck
BY OSBORN MARSHALL

the first crop OF peaches was sold.
Peach harvest was over and the dea-
cons had met to consider the advisa-
bility OF serving young Hale with a
foreclosure notice.
So they sat there, eyeing each other,
glad of their generosity in the matter.
but afraid to wait any longer.
Then the boy walked into the room.
Here's the money" he said, putting
it in full amount before them. rs it
all right? I've sold my peaches and
got the money"
After that young Hale had an envi-
able reputation among the farmers of
the neighborhood Most of them lived
on the sort of farm that had driven so
many New Englanders away from the
land to the cities-the kind OF farm that
today, under the heading abandoned
farm land" is earning money for men
who work it scientifically. So these
farmers, who did not use modern
methods, were ready to pay the homage
of honest admiration to any one who
could make his farm pay.
Hale had made his first success with
peaches, and with peaches he had made
his name. Realizing that they were a
good thing. he put every cent he could
save into more peach trees and into

lighted, and after that every farmer in
the region worked for new roads.
Years later Hale tried the same
tactics to gain a good road to market
in an entirely different situation.
When his New England peach crop
had prospered-when he had turned
about 900 acres OF abandoned Connecti-
cut farms into thriving peach orchards
Hale wanted better fruit-train serv-
ice for his peaches in Georgia. For,
with some Of the money he had made
in Connecticut, he had purchased large
tracts OF Georgia land, land that was
/ as fertile and rich as the Connecticut
land was, apparently. poor and stony.
The only drawback to the Georgia
land was that. with the deliberateness
which has been feature of the South
ern railways for years, the train service
between the peach lands and the mar
kets was very poor. The peaches were
on the trees-such peaches as Georgia
had not seen before, perfect and lus-
cious, bearing the boughs to the
ground.
Hale went to an influential man and
asked for better peach trains. The man
was not impressed.
IF you'll come down to my place
and see my trees as they are now,
you'll give me the trains" said Hale.

.HE mortgage on the Hale farm
was due.

THE mortgage on the Hale farm
was due.
That was the cold, hard fact
that the good deacons of South Glss-
tCnbury, Conn, had to consider.
In fact, the mortgage was overdue.
1t was big mortgage, too, for Glas-
tonbury. Moreover, the particular dea-
cons in question had been generous to
the point of foolishness, they thought.
They had met together to talk the mat
ter over, and they were more afraid of
each others opinion than they were Of
not getting the mortgage lifted.
A year or so before, Mr.. Hale had
died leaving a rock-covered farm
swamped with big mortgage, widow,
and two sons. John, the elder, who
was eleven. had LETT school and had
worked for a neighboring farmer for
the munihcent wage of twelve and a
half dollars a month. He had worked
and he had honestly earned his wage.
And. what was more, he had saved
much OF it.
With this saved money he bought
peach trees and had planted them in
the chinks between the stones on the
rock-bound. mortgage-bound farm.
And he tended to them with the sort
OF zeal that makes a success of any
thing.
Now, when the boy was in his early
teens, the mortgage was due and the
first crop of peaches from these hard
earned fruit trees was due also. But
the deacons were little doubtful
about the ability OF young Hale to con-
vert the peaches into anything that
would be acceptable in payment of the
mortgage.
However, they had agreed to wait
for the payment of the mortgage until

germicides and fertilizers to make the
trees sturdy and the fruit fawIess.
In spite of their admiration for him,
some of his farm neighbors were lit
tie jealous OF the young mans success.
And when he told them that good roads
would put their farms on a much high
er basis, because they would provide a
comfortable and quicker route to mar
ket they listened to him with amuse-
ment.
Peach trees don't bear fruit the first
year they are planted, reasoned Hale,
and perhaps his arguments would not
bear fruit at once So month after
month he kept talking good roads.
Finally, the town meeting appointed
committee with Hale as chairman to
lay ten rods of up-to-date road any
where IN the township.
Well" remarked one skeptical
neighbor TO another, now that we've
given Hale a free hand, | suppose you
know what he'll do? He'll put down
ten rods of good road in front of his
own farm"
That was the opinion of many in the
township. When Hale and the commit
tee under him chose the worst section
of road in the township, they were sur
prised. When spring and its long period
iof thaws and mud came, they were de-

Real Romances of the Business World

For you will see what a future there
is in Georgia as fruit-producing coun-
try, and you'll see that in the end we
fruit growers will bring prosperity to
your railroads.
The railroad man was impressed. So
he and the president OF another South
ern railroad went in their private car
with Hale to his peach orchards in
Georgia to look at the ripening fruit.
1t was better argument than any 9TH
er Hale could have presented. After
that peaches had right OF way over pas
sengers. The passengers may not have
liked this, but the fruit growers did.
Hale increased his holdings in Geor-
gia until he had about 5000 acres.
These he planted all to peaches. He
has the largest peach farm there is in
the world, and sometimes a million
peaches a day are picked from his
orchards.
New England, he thinks. is better
suited to apples than to peaches. So he
has substituted apple trees on his farms
there for peach trees.
OF course, in all these years-it is
about fifty since the little Hale boy left
school to work for money to pay off
the old farm mortgage-Mr. Hale has
become an authority on various agri-
cultural topics. He has received many
honors, too, from agricultural societies
and has taken his part in the public life
OF the places where he has lived.
His hobby-if he has one besides
peaches-is the men that work for him.
The colored laborers of the South and
the Italian laborers of New England
both interest him tremendously, and he
has done much to make them better un-
derstood and to make them better un-
derstand the progress of which they are
! part.

If that guy had butted in few days earlier he would

Court Finds Drowsy Prisoner Owes S1o Fine-Tangoist Agrees to Beat It -One-L Legged Panhandier Jailed.

Three men were presented before Judge J. Harry Mann in the city court Friday morning, the largest number Of prisoners for a long time. Alexander Seder. tangoist to the public, charged with intoxication, had his case contin- ued for three weeks on his agreement to leave the city. Thomas Robinson. found asleep in old Armory hall, was found when in court to be a man who had failed to pay a S10 fine imposed on him here q long time ago. He was fined S10 and sentenced to three months in jail. Judgment was suspended, how ever.
 George HandberTy, a man with only one leg. was sentenced to serve 30 days in lafI for intoXcation, go days in jail for breach of the peace, and to pay costs of prosecution. Handberry was picked off the ground after falling out side of F'rankIin's lunch wagon Thurs day night Kindly disposed persons who were present took him into the wagon and bought him a lunch. Their kindness seemed to be wasted on tine fellow, who, after eating, started to beg. Not getting liberal responses from those in the wagon, re eventually be- came impatient and hit the proprietor, Frederick Franklin in the face. That was Mr. Handberry-s finish as far as further consideration was concerned. He WAS arrested and locked up.

caucus many predicted that he would receive the nomination, but Attorney Russell boiled the greater percentage of votes from the two districts of the town outside of Danielson.
 The total vote cast was 2SS. Of this number Attorney Russell received 1S0, Attorney Woodward 108.
 Town Clerk Frank T. Preston pre- sided as chairman of the meeting and w. l. Bullard as clerk. Attorney E. l.. Darbie made the speech nominating Attorney Russell Burdette C. Hopkins doing a similar service in the inter est of Attorney Woodward. An at tempt at making additional speeches in seconding nominations was cut short by the chairman.
 The caucus voted unanimously in favor of using the check list. Thomas J. Awkward, F. O. Huntingdon, Alma FOrcier and Frank Wood were named as tellers and the balloting proceeded. The tellers also acted as counters.
 Upon the announcement of the vote Attorney Woodward immediately moved to make the nomination unani- nous, which action was taken by the caucus, marked throughout by the greatest harmony. notwithstanding the close contest between two friendly at tOrneys for the desired honor of being the partys candidate.
 The democrats iii killingly will nominate their candidate for judge of probate at a party caucus to be held this Saturday, afternoon.
