Cash Groc<ry ssor.. Are x'la.ers.


Cash grocery stores and no deliv-
cry Is the secret OF success In the
grocery business. according to NJ. F.
Heller. OF San Diego. Calf. who ia
on his way home after . trip east
to pick up new ideas In his business.
Mr.. Heller's experience In the grocery
business has been unique. Twenty
one years ago he started in San d.
ego with one small grocery store and
very limited capital. He stuck to the
principle Of cash sales and no deliv-
cry and his business gradually grew
until today he owns eight large gro
cery stores and has the grocery bust
ness OF San Diego pretty much In his
own hands. Mr.. Heller maintains
that this alone has been the secret OF
his success.
II observed that credit accounts
and expense Of deliveries were the
two main causes for failure In the
grocery business" he said. land I

BELIEF STRONGER THAT
 HAYS WILL ANNOUNCE

Little Rock, Sept. 1S.-The belief Is growing stronger in local political circles that Gov. Hays will announce for another term in few, days. It is believed that certain recent events have strengthened this probability and that within the next week he will break through his reserve and openly announce his candidacy. When asked his opinion about recent bitter editor ial attacks made upon him for his appointment of Wallace Davis attor- ney-general, he replied that he "would not dignify them with notice."

Great Prehistoric Lake.

Lake Agassiz was a body of fresh water that existed during a late stage of the glacial epoch in the valley of Red River and extended northward from the present head of that stream for nearly 700 hundred miles. The area of the Lake at the time of it's greatest expansion was almost 10000 square miles, exceeding the present a. gregate area of the five great lakes tributary to the St. Lawerence.
 The shore of this ancient lake is marked by well-defned beaches, and it is from these that the existence and the extent of the lake are known. The lake was named by the geolist Warren Upham in honor of Louis Agassiz, who was the first to make systematic study of glaciers and glacial phenom- ena.-Northern Pacific Guidebook, U. s. Geological Survey.

Royal Bait.

According to Harry Sparrow, busi- ness manager of the New York team in the American League, he was in South Sea Island waters once on a pleasure trip. His ship touched at a port with an unpronuonceable name. Accompanied by his harem, his suite and most of his subjects, the reign ing ruler, a fat half-caste, came down to welcome the visitors. The iubiects jumped off the little dock and swam about the steamer, while His Majesty was received aboard in due state. Strange to say, the official interpreter and generalfactorum of the imperial outfit was a little cockney.
 The tourist began pitching copper coins over the sides in order to see common herd dive after them. Pres ently a wealthy San Francisco man decided to do something really gener- ous. He hauled a ten dollar gold piece out of his pocket and poised to fling it into the water. Instantly the cockney had him by the arm.
 "Ow, sir, don't do that, sir, if you please. sir" he implored. You'll be 'avin Is Royal Ighness in the water next, sir

The Rumsey Monument.

The workmen employed in preparing
the foundations for the monumen Mt TO
James Rumsey have made considerable
progress the past week. The blasting on
the bluff has been about completed, and
the concrete platform forty feet square is
now in course of construction. The stone
wall that will surround the platform is
being built of native blue limestone, which
makes very pleasing appearance.
The Forbes Granite Company, which
has the contract for the erection of the
monument, has definitely decided 10 use
Woodstock granite, and has awarded the
contract for furnishing the stone to the
Guilford and Waltersville Granite Com
pany, OF Baltimore, which operates quar-
ries at Woodstock, Md. The monument,
which is an Ionic column, will weigh
some 300 tons, and will rest on granite
base weighing Is or 30 tons. The column
will be Of drums Of uniform size, and will
be surmounted by granite globe weigh
ing eight tons, representing the earth,
with the continents in relief and highly
polished. The memorial will be IS feet
high and five feet in diameter. Mr..
Forbes will have the work pushed along
as fast as possible, but is not yet able to
announce when if shall be completed.
The imposing situation on which the
monument is to stand has been visited by
many persons recently, who greatly ad-
mire the beautiful view up and down the
river.

For Cooperative Fruit Selling.

A number Of apple growers from Jef-
ferson and Berkeley counties and few
from Morgan county and Frederick coun-
ty, Va, attended meeting Of orchardists
in Martinsburg on Tuesday. c. W. Boy
er, president of The Berkeley County Hor-
ticultural Society, called the meeting to
order and stated the object OF the gather
ing, after which he introduced DR.. c. E.
Bassett, of the Department OF Agriculture
at Washington, who made an address on
the subject of cooperative fruit selling.
DIR. Bassett recommended the organiza-
ton OF selling agency, not stock COM
pany or profit sharing enterprise, but a
distinctively cooperative organization.
The idea is 10 get the orchardistS' fruit on
the market at the least possible expense
and at the same time secure the maximum
price for the grower. II is claimed that
this plan has worked admirably in many
other sections. He cited many instances
where the fruit growers had banded them
selves together, and then supported his
statements by producing the facts. A
committee to nominate directors recon-
mended the following, who were elected ::
D. Gold Miller. M. L. Dorm, |. w. Wood.
@. B. Wiltshire, H. L. Alexander, S. N.
Myers, c. c. Westrater, c. w. Boyer,
Gray Silver, William Somers, S. H Fulton
and Vernon E. Johnson. The directors
will elect president, vice-preSident,
secretary, treasurer manager and general
inspector.

ings and an ornament TO that section OF
