WATTERS0N'S VANITY

The exchange editor says that
there are too many newspapers pub
lished in Florida that arrive in St.
Petersburg Sunday and Monday. He
does not know what a real job is.
He should take the job on the Cour-
ier--ournal where each Monday
there are mountainsof papers to be
read, the ultimate end being to find
whether anybody has written any
thing about Col Watterson. The big
Sunday editions arrive Mondays and
no exchanges areread Sundays so
that Monday is day dreaded by the
man who has to scan the other pa
pers for mention of Col. Watterson
That is what he reads the exchanges
for; the staff he clips to be used as
reprint or time-copy is merely in

DEED OF TRUST RECORDED
BY MENDENHALL

That J. J. Mendenhall is not the
immensely wealthy man he is re-
tputed to be is shown by the schedule
Of his property that has been field
in court at Clearwater. The list of
his holdings appears in deed of
trust filed by Mendenhall who turns
over everything, with homestead ex-
ceptions reserved, to Barnard Kill
gore for the benefit of his creditors.
The trustee is authorized to sell any
or all of said property for cash or
on such terms as shall seem best to
him to do and all creditors of a
class shall be treated in the same
way to be settled with by dividend
or by compromise for a given per-
centage Of their claim, etc. The
| said trustee is given power to con-
vey any and all real property de-
scribed and If mortgaged by and
with the consent of the mortgagee .
Trustee to give bond in the sum Of
$4,000.
The property held by Mendenhall
is large but big mortgages on most
of the land cut down his equity con-
siderably and the estate is said to be
great deal less than common re-
pute had 1t. Mendenhall was sup
posed to be one Of the wealthiest
men in this county and had he been
able to realize the value Of his hold
ings would have been rich man
His arrest, on charge of murderin

cial troubles and the value of the
estate dwindles.-St. Petersburg In

The Citrus Seminar was estah-
lished in 1910 by the Florida agri-
cultural experiment station for the
purpose of enabling the grower to
obtain at first hand, in the labora-
tory, information and instruction
concerning diseases and pests, and
concerning the best methods for car
ing for the grove. This meeting is
held annually at the University OF
Florida, Gainesville. The interest
and attendance have increased
steadily from the first. The meeting
begins this year at 900 in the
morning of Tuesday, Oct. 5, and
continues until the evening of Oct.
s. The railroads have granted re-
duced rates effective on Oct. 4, 5 and
6, with a return limit of starting to
Oct. 8. Those planning to attend
should write to the experiment sta
ton, Gainesville, for information
and instructions concerning the
meeting.

HYPAoT|z|NG TERRY
BY JANE OSBORN.

1t was Terry Bell telephoning from
the girls dormitory. She was in great
distress, and, like Terry. she had put
off the dreadful hour as late as she
could, and then, again like Terry, she
had come to the Delta Alpha men to
help her out.
Terry ought never to have taken
that philosophy course, and Morton
Marine told her so over the phone.
But that didn't help matters then
Just twelve hours before the examina-
ton came off, The worst of it all
was that Terry was taking a mini
mum course, and IL she didn't pass
that philosophy examination it would
mean no degree and another year at
college-disgrace.
Terry's voice trembled charmingly
as she told Morton. and Morton's
large heart beat fast and bravely as
he promised to help her out.
Terry had turned to her notebook,
only to find it in hopeless confusion.
She had asked some of the girls In
the dormitory to help her. but they
were too busy to hear her. Doctor
Dorkay's philosophy was a course at
which even the bluestockings trem-
bled. How could Terry expect to do
It all the last day, without the books
and without good notes-pretty little
light-hearted Terry?
So she telephoned to the Delta Al
pha house and asked whether she
might borrow one of the mems note
books-just for an hour.
A half dozen Delta Alpha men
we're interested in Terry's plight al
once. Each one was willing to helr
her, although each one secretly felt
that help would be useless AS re

was against the rule for them to b.
at the girls dormitory. quite as de
fiant for her to come to the Delta Al
pha house and equally lawless for he
to be on the campus unchaperoned a
that hour.
However. the three Delta Alph
men led Terry to the seclusion of

his work WELL he will have more
first-grade fruit. The increased re-
turns from this increased amount OF
frst-grade fruit will cover the ak
penditure, and give rate of inter-
est on the investment that on a
larger scale would make him
wealthy in a short time.
During the past season, the differ
ence in returns from first-grade
fruit and second-grade fruit was
the difference between profit and
aoss. There are even people
who think that the grower will
never again obtain the high prices
for his fruit that he has obtained
in the past. Also, under the old
methods of letting the diseases and
pests take care of themselves. his
frst-grade fruit will decrease In
amount. and probably also the total
lproduction. From this combination
of facts. the conclusion can be drawn
that the grove may in time prove a
losing investment.
On the other hand, by controlling
the diseases and pests in his own
kgrove, cooperating with his neigh
bors to prevent their introduction
into the community. and by employ
ing the best grove practices. the to-
tai production of fruit will be in
s creased, the cost Of production will
