NO WASTE LAND IN
FLORIDA.

| Florida is sineularly free from
Iunreclaimable land. Every other
State in the Union is burdened
with land that cannot be made
productive, at least not without
spending more money for recla-
nation than the land is worth.
Such places include mountains,
awamps. river bottoms, des-
erts, salt marshes. We have no
mountains here. Our rivers are
Of no great lengths and have so
much fall that the areas over
flowed when the water is high
are OILY narrow strips along the
rivers. These bottoms are at
present covered with valuable
timber, and when it has been re-
moved the land can be put to
agricultural uses by simply
strengthening and cleaning out
the rivers. Every swamp can be
drained; some of the shallow
lakes can have wide strips along
the margin reclaimed by drain
age. The tides along the Flor
ida shores being very low, most
II the salt marshes can be re-
claimed by drainage alone, and
the rest by dvking and pumping.
In almost every county of the
state are little spots of desert
Of white sand, bare in some
places, but overgrown with
chaparal and palmettos in others. :
and called scrubs" Such land
IS nearly sterile, yet cowpeas will
grow there, and a few crops
Will put SO much humus in the
soil that it will hold moisture,
When grapes, peaches and Irish {
potatoes may be grown. The
lesert spots in the West can i
'nly be reclaimed through costly c
irrigation processes, but the CO. +
nous rainfall of Florida helps 9
o redeem such land. The
'e-ches along the seashores have a
value: in many places they al t
eady furnish the chief attraction b
or pleasure resorts, and in y
curse of time. when the lands G
ehind them shall be brought n
nder cultivation they will be- R
ned with happy homes.
At present land buyers are fas-
dlous about getting the best
valuable land requiring the F
ast outlay and work to make a
roductive. However such is o.
ready becoming so scarce in ~ ~
any neighborhoods, that poor h.
grades are coming into de- ID

DEATH Of FORMER
TICKET ACT, HERE

Of the death of former Dickin-
son citizen, the Herald, published at
Rushville, ILL.,, says:
"Corrie Scripps Hodgson, only son
of Thomas S. and Helena E. Hodg-
son, was born on his parents farm
near Frederick, H., February 10,
1890, and died in the Cottage Sana-
torium at Silver City, N. M, February
27, 1915.
His childhood days were spent on
the farm, and it was here that he re-
ceived his first schooling, at Freder-
ick. In the fall of 1906 he entered
the Rushville high school. During
the time he was in school here he was
a member Of the Merchants Concert
band.
"In April, 1908, he accepted a posi-
ton with the Northern Pacific rail-
way and was located at Belfeld, N.
D. Here he was associated in the
civic and social life of the city, by as
sisting in the band and singing in the
Presbyterian church choir.
Feeling the need of a more thorough
business training, in the fall Of 1910
he returned Home and in September
entered Gem City Business College at

accepted employment with the North

raised to the sublime degree of

became member of the B. P. o. E.

member of both lodges in that city
until his DEATH During his last ill
ness he was given life membership
in the B. P. @. E. lodge and notified
that he was unanimously voted this
honor by the Dickinson lodge of Elks.
He ever cherished the brotherly feel
ing shown him by both of these ord
ers, and they kept a constant. watch
over him during his =. last illness.

DICKINSON FIRMS FINE
EXPOSITION DISPLAY

One of the finest exhibits and one
which is attracting large amount of
attention, is the display of the Dick
inson Fire & Pressed Brick Company
in the North Dakota building at the
Panama Exposition at San Francisco.
Nearly one-half a car.of the products
Of this local company was shipped to
he exposition in December. And
now Supt. w: s. Russell is having
urgent requests to send one of their
fire place mantels for which this
firm is so famous.
The variety Of facing, ornamental,
standard and fire brick of the Dickin-
son firm at San Francisco is exceed
ingly large and home builders, archi-
tects and contractors are especially
enthusiastic upon the discovery of
this display. The products Of the
company are of the best and thous-
ands are learning for the first time
Of the North Dakota industry, which
is just in it's infancy. The orna-
mental brick are many special forms
for decorative purposes both for in
terror and exterior works. The
special form brick for boiler set
tings and other furnace work are
furnishing many surprises for the
engineers and contractors. All these
brick are out of the ordinary class
and it is no wonder that the Dickin-
son plant is making the visitors at
tkeforth Dakota building sit up and
take notice. 80 = '''e-'
There are also samples Of the
different clays such as the fire clay
and the potter's clay. These. clays
are the admiration of those interested
in ceramics. Along this line is to be
found the excellent exhibit of pottery
made in the ceramics department of
the State University. Nearly all of
the exhibits in this department are
credited to Dickinson clay.
In addition to the large display of
brick the Dickinson Fire & Pressed
Brick Co. has d fine collection Of
photo prints of various styles Of fire
places and mantels, also of the vari-
GUS kinds Of brick and buildings made
with. Dickinson brick.
In both the St. Louis and Buffalo
expositions the Dickinson Fire &
Pressed Brick Co. received many high
awards, and a repetition of the same
can be looked for this year. Much
credit for the Panama exhibit is due
w., s. Russell of this city, who Sc
lected and prepared the brick display;
to Dean Babcock, of the State Uni
versity, who gathered the exhibit, and
to Gov. Hanna, who saw that the
whole state exhibit reached San Fran
cisco. and was properly arranged in
the North Dakota building in charge
Of Will E. Holbein.
