He is not lazy, but wants outside
work, and that is hard to get at his
age. Now 1 have often wondered
why they can't let the boys and girls
in the neighboThood all meet for a
little pleasure at the school halls that
would be in walking distance.
They could all meet there every
evening from z to $50. They could
have games and some other little
pleasures. l am sure mothers would
take turns in looking after them. I
know l would. l wish some one
would give another opinion whether
l am right or wrong. We have a fine
large hall connected with the Ellen

folks in the neighbOrhood. - Mrs.

ORANGE ISLAND PARK

A deal was closed Wednesday to

drive through this beautiful sub
division in order to view the Cove
residence, which is artistically de
signed to blend with the natural con
litions to be found in Orange Island
Park.
When we take into consideration
the fact that river-front lots in this
city can hardly be secured at any
price and that Orange Island is the
only property in Daytona lying along
the regular boat channel in the river,
and that there is from 20 to 2S feet
of deep water within few feet OF
the coquina rock seawall, it is GER
tainly a desirable place for homes
and one which should not be over
looked by home builders or investors.
River-front property advances fast
err than any other residential property.
Take, for instance, the rapid advance
in the river frontage in Jacksonville
in the Riverside and Ortega subdivi-
sions. The experience here in Day
tona has been that the river frontage
brings the best price and is in great
est demand Any resident will tell
you that river-front lots in Daytona,
Daytona Beach and Seabreeze have
doubled in value many times over
during the past few years. 1t would
be hard to conceive of a better
proposition for either home or an
investment in the state than Orange
Island Park.
The owners have closed contract
with the Kagay-Marshall Realty con-
pany to dispose of the choice lots in
Orange Island Park, and Offices have
been opened with Bingham & Thomp-
son, ia South Beach street. The
opening sale will be announced in the
near future, and in the meantime the
of the company are at
the disposal Of prospective purchasers
to inspect Orange Island Park.

so that the same can be given to the

The feeling of optimism which has
prevailed in this section for the last
several weeks, has not yet disappear

that events Of the last few hours have
done much toward shaking it,
There are millions of feet of finish
ed lumber in mills of Forrest and 9TH

customers abroad crying for it. but

fore the shipping situation is so clear
ed as to cause the lumber and cotton
men to look for a jump in business.
From Liverpool comes the report
that receipts Of foodstuffs, raw ma
terials and other commodities at that
port continue on an unprecedented
scale, and that congestion has been
accentuated by the arrival Of twenty
one more cargo vessels. Shipping
docks and railway interests, the report
says, are doing their best to clear the
cargoes as rapidly as possible. Some
vessels are reported to have been
awaiting fortnight to be unloaded
AS stated in The News last week, the
shortage Of men in England at this

forced to await their turn in being un
loaded. This consequently has result
ed in the tying up of scores of vessels
which otherwise would be used II
transporting American lumber and cot
ton abroad.
