Blain had broken down. Temporar-

had assumed his duties.
A meaner man never lived. Vested
with a power he had never dreamed
of acquiring, all that was selfish and
tyrannical in this mans nature came
to the surface. He lorded it over the
male employees, he annoyed the lady

With his clothes burned from his

retired farmer of Sharon, was found
dead about three feet from the door of
his residence at o'clock Friday morn

was a bachelor and lived alone, laid
down upon couch in his home Thurs
day night to take a smoke and fell
asleep. The fire from his pipe ig-

mass of flames. The burning man
struggled toward the door, but before
he reached it he dropped to the floor.
Although his body was burned to a
crisp and his face was unrecognizable,
the fire did not spread to the house and
there were no signs of the flames ex-

Capitalizing Fresh Air.

The owner of one of the largest
chains of moving picture theaters in
this section of the country privately at
| tributes his success to fresh air. In
| the first theater he established, enor-
nous ventilating fans were installed.
In his latest theaters, ventilation re-
ceives as much attention as decorating,
seating, etc.
Ventilating on big scale is expen-
sive Rapidly exhausting the warm
air means a big drain on the heating
system. Furnaces must be driven hard
to supply sufficient heat to warm the
fresh air to comfortable temperature
The man who manages must close his
eyes to the shrinkage of the coal pile.
It's his business to watch the increase
in the cash pile in the box office.
This astute manager clearly recog-
nizes the fact that an audiences enjoy
ment is not dependent alone upon the
pictures and other entertainment af-
forded
He credits a considerable proportion
of his patronage to choice of his thea
tiers over those of competitors through
a vague, underlined sense of physca
comfort and well-being not experienced
in other theaters.
He says: SIN the ordinary hall, it's
rafting good show in which there is
no twisting in seats, shuff1ing of feet
and other signs of restlessness. I know
from observation that this Nervousness
is, mainly due to stuffy air. In
perfectly comfortable atmosphere,
the patron is not nearly so criti-
cal. A reasonably good film gets
across The average patron doesn't
analyze the reason why he is, or is not,
enjoying himself. Perhaps l save my
ventilating cost on wear and tear on
furniture and carpets. l haven't fig
ured that out | don't much care. |
am satisfied to know that furnishing
fresh air has been good business for
me-"
This man is making a phenomenal
financial success. He is proving that
stage magicians and fake promoters
are not the only ones who can reach
out and extract dollars from the un-
diluted air.

Obituary.
JOS. F. DONAHOE.

Jos. Donahoe, for several years a
dealer in tobacco at GAINESVILLE and we'll
known to the trade, died Friday at Gin
cinnatti, Ohio, where he had been liv-
ing for the past two years. The de-
ceased was born in GAINESVILLE in 1868.
where the greater part of his life was
spent. He was married to Katherine
Connell in 1904, who with two daugh-
tiers survive him. Elected as alderman
of the 5th ward for several years, he
served the city faithfully. While en-
gagged in the tobacco business his gen
ial nature made him many friends in
the trade who deplore his early death.
The remains arrived in GAINESVILLE Sat-
urday morning, funeral services being
held from ST. Patrick church Monday
morning.

Ezra Crandall Of Milton and Mrs.

at Albion on the 9th.

the exact spot in the river several
weeks ago where the body was to be
found, in Mrs. E. ST. John.
A carload of tobacco was shipped
Wednesday to San Francisco via New
York, thence by vessel around Cape
Horn. The journey of Is, 600 miles will
take the tobacco twice across the equa-
tor and it is believed that by the time
it reaches its destination it will be en-
tirely through the sweat.

HANDICAP OF THE TROPICS
These Forests Frequently Cannot Be
Cleared In tho Short Dry Sea-
son That Prevails.

In the true tropical Forest, agricul
ture is practically out OF the question,
writes Ellsworth Huntington in tho
Tale Review. Even for the white
man 1t Is difficult to clear the ground.
and for the sluggish son of the tropics
it is almost Impossible. Not that no
cannot cut the trees, although this
is Q slow process where the huge
trunks throw out buttresses five TO
ten feet in radius. but that having cdt
them he cannot dispose Of them. Tho
primary reason for the existence OF
the genuine tropical forest is that
rain falls abundantly at practically
all seasons. There may be, and usu.
ally is, q short dry season when tina
sun Is farthest from the zenith. New.
ertheless, even at this time tho
drought is not absolute. When tho
trees are felled the only way Of GET
ting rid of them Ia by burning. Uts
der the ardent tropical sun most trees
will become dry enough to burn
In two or three weeks. II they 90
not become ready to burn during tho
dry season, 1t Is useless to think OF
such thing later. They will roS
away, to be sure, and disappear with
In few seasons, but this Is Of little
use, for meanwhile new growth has
quickly sprouted. In the tropical
rain forests, bushes will grow to q
height OF ten or twenty feet in sim
gle year. Indeed, In the short space
of two months SO much heritage
will spring up that piece Of forest
which has been cut cannot be burned
even though the trees have become
dry.
This is no theory, but actual fact
IN the spring of 1913, in part Of
Guatemala, where the forest is by no
means of the densest kind and where
considerable number OF coffee plan.
tations exist. saw this happen. The
trees had been cut, but so many show
ers fell during the nominal dry season
that the branches did not become dry
enough to burn and consequently
many people were unahs to plant
crops.
