Finally he sold the business for $4,000,
which he put into the bank. He pass
ed the civil service examination and
became letter carrier in the north
west section of Chicago. He kept his
eyes open for good real estate buys"
He made $1,000 profit on house he
built on the first lot he bought.
AS his capital increased he began to
deal in larger blocks of vacant prop
erty. Almost always his experience
as mail carrier helped him to buy in
the right place. Presently the in
creasing burdens OF this business
made it necessary for him to resign
his government job
In the last fifteen or twenty years
he has built and sold more than 400
houses in the same northwest corner
of the city. He is a director in one of
the local banks. He is worth about

ccssity on the part of the utilities
commission, the water company by le
gal action can brighten away bond
buyers. These facts must be faced
by those who favor fighting the COM
pany for a lower rate The Times be-
iieves that if fair offer had been
made showing at least good faith on
the part Of the city to the Water
works company, that some compro-
mise could have been made between
the price asked and the price offered.
AS it now stands, however, there is
nothing but litigation ahead which
will eat up city money and not adj
vance the municipal ownership one
iota.
The Times believes that today, if the
matter was left to the waterusers and
voters of this city that fully eighty per
cent would vote to get rid Of the old
company even at sacrifice of price
and principles. The Times also be-
lieves that before entangling the city
in legal action that canvass of the
wishes of the majority of the people
should be made 1t urges this in fair
ness to all concerned There is no
desire on the part of the Times to aid
the Waterworks company There has
been no stronger opponent of that
company and it's methods than the
Times, nor sturdier champion for a
city system. But the situation de-
mands that the city adopt course that
will not continually play into the
hands of the Waterworks company
which is the gamer by every year OF
litigation and obstruction to munic-
| ipal system. Bitterness against the
| company is natural on the part OF
the citizens. but should not prejudice
their reasoning. The Times contends
that the only way to get at the desir-
| ed result is to get the old company

FRUIT SITUATION IMPROVED

FRUIT SITUATION IMPROVED
The fruit growers OF the Twin Falls
tract this year can find great many
reasons for thankfulness in the i'm
proved marketing situation. After last
years disastrous fruit marketing there
we're many growers who were ready to
pull up their trees by the roots and
SOW the land to some other crop.
However, Twin Falls this year under
the Fruit Growers association came
nearer to the ideal marketing plan
than ever before. With practically
It's own independent agency the total
output has been contracted for deliv-
cry here at a good price which will
allow clear profit of from sixty to
seventy-five cents per box to the grow
er. This means the beginning of an
influx every year OF independent buy
ers who will in years to come, bid on
the fruit crops. Heavy overhead ex-
pense Of the bigger organization have
been cut down to purely local one
with no cost in commission to jObbers.
While of course the much smaller
corp is responsible for the splendid
prices this year, yet the fame of the
local product in the coming years is
going to maintain much better price
than has prevailed in years past.
The fruit men after five years of
struggle are coming into their own.

THE FARMER BOYS
SHOULD NOTICE THIS

During the last session of the legis-
lature an act was passed which en-
abled the commissioners of each coun-
ty to establish and maintain a schol-
aIship in the University of Florida
College of Agriculture for one student
from that county. The scholarship
will amount to 1850 this year. 1t
covers board and lodging at the reg
ular rate. The student is selected
by competitive examination and the
commissioners are to hold the exami-
nation. The scholarship entities the
holder to full course of instruction
in the university. Applicants must be
eligible for entrance and must sign
a certificate agreeing to engage in ag-
riculture in Florida unless unable or
otherwise disqualified. The act is de-
signed to enable some worthy per-
son who has not the means otherwise
TO get an education. All county COM
missioners have copies Of the act and
are acquainted with the details of the
scholarship.-Leesburg Commercial.

Chicago, July 25.-While steel
workers were melting holes thru the
hull of the excursion steamer East
land with acetylene torches, which
threw a CHASTITY light upon the scene,
and while divers groped i'm the black
hold and submerged state rooms,
bringing up more bodies of women
and children, Chicago last night count
ed her dead in the greatest marine
disaster in history.
"More than 1000 dead" said police
and the officials in charge of the
grewsome task. The estimates ran
from 1,7OO to 5000. The exact figures
will probably never be known, altho
the locks near Joliet have been closed,
practically stopping the current, and
nets have been stretched across the
Chicago river to prevent any dead
from floating down to the Mississippi.

police force consisting of q sheriff and
his deputies, and constable for each
precinct. Are they not sufficient for
the enforcement of the law?

mean. Last year there was a party
reported by the constable of the pre-
cinct for an infraction Of the game
laws. The game warden came out,
the party was not at home; he turned
over the warrant to the constable,
who served the warrant. The trial
was held in Ocala. Now the constable
lived just about mile from the ac-

London, July 26.-The fighting for
Warsaw has shifted from South Pol
and, where Cen Won Mackensen is un-
able to advance, to the north, where
the Germans have crossed the Narew,
along a wide front. Petrograd, how
ever, hasn't admitted this German
success. Ostrolenka fortress, from
which three strategic railroads run, is
still controlled by the Russians, al
though an attack from Pultusk north
ward brought the Germans to a point
south of Ostrolenka. The latest Ger
man success brings them to within
twenty-five miles north of Warsaw.
Southwark the Germans are attack
ing the defenses near Piaseczno, only
twelve miles from Warsaw. The
Russians are still holding the Lublin-
Chelm railroad. The Germans are
suffering under fierce counter attacks,
the Russians claim.
