ANYBODY WANT THIS
8-YEAR-OLD KID?

Robert Woods, years old wants

Roberts parents died two years
ago and the court OF Escambia coun-
ty turned him over to the State In

ago Last year the superintendent
of the school brought the Children 5
Home Society's attention to the
case, claiming the boy was too young
TO be an inmate of such an institu-
tion.

J cants from taking him, not because

taught better, but because they APP
parently did not want the job of do

Now the society, after caring for

peal before they send him back to

deplores the fact that the receiving

boys change and delay means that
it will be more difficult task. A
home on a farm is more desirable,
says Superintendent Fagg, because
the lad is fond of cows, horses, pigs,
chickens and such, and he believes
could be weaned from his bad habits
if given a real chance.
The boy is on parole and will be
returned to the school until he is 81
years old unless a home can be found
for him. Superintendent Fagg firm
ly believes that he can be made into

bad-its just his habits.

have to go back to the school. Will

HELPING THE PEOPLE

Not many years ago in New Zea-
land farms were being deserted for
the city, the same as they have been
for number of years in the United
States. To stop this tendency the
New Iceland government began Dor
rowing money at 4 per cent and
leading it to tenant farmers at 4 IL
per cent.
This stopped the drift" cityward,
made landowners Of more than A.
600 poor men, and to date New

a million dollars in brokerage fees.
The same thing has been done sue

Chief Inspector Joy Heck, of this
district. This fiattering news were
told the members of the Dade Coun-
~ Fruit Growers and Truckers AS
ISOLATION last night and was received
with applause by the large number
of growers present.
Inspector Heck's report consisted
of a comparative statement of the
conditions that existed January 9
last year and the report of Satur-
day and showed material fallink
of of canker infections.
January 9 last year, according to
the report, there were but nine in
spectors employed against thirty-two
men on the payroll last Saturday
night while on the same date last
wear there were 1876 trees inspect
ed. The number of trees inspected
this year amountd to 65,S51. On
January this year the inspectors
found but one infection against %
on the same date year ago.
While there are three times as
many men engaged in hunting can
ker as there were year ago, the

BUILDING $1,000 INCOME
ON S. A WEEK SAVINGS

suppose a man earning S23 a
week went TO the American Bankers
Association to find cut about their
plan to give him an income of 5 GOO
a year" says the January American
Magazine. when he told them he
could save s. a week they would
send him to a savings bank.
'He would place his So and get
! passbook. At the end of six months
he would be credited with $3.50. BY
the end of the year he would have
$26260, by depositing IS weekly
and drawing per cent after six
months.
AT this very interesting time, he
would consult the cashier of the saw
| ings bank and tell him that he
wished to draw $1,000 and invest it
| in a safe real estate mortgage pay
inc 6 per cent interest. The cashier
would tell him at once where to go
to get the investment and just how
to make it.
| Having made the Investment, at
the end of the fourth year of his saw
ing, the young man could look for
ward to saving, the first six months
of the fifth year, the following:
| First, of course, his regular weekly
| deposit of 50, or $3.50; second, the
six-months' interest at per cent on
| $123S9 (the amount left after he
| had drawn out 10000, which would
| amount to $2.i6; third, the interest
at per cent, earned by his real
estate mortgage, or $50. This would
make total of $162.4G, added to
the $123.S9 left in the bank after
drawing out the $1,000, and the
| total would amount to S2S6.33. BY
the end of the fifth year, this sum
| would have increased to S452.0S-
almost half enough to buy another

lengthy for these columns. AT any
rate. he would be able to buy his
second $1,000 mortgage at the end
of the seventh year After this, the

posts and on his two mortgage

Jacksonville, Jan. 1i-Since jan
uary ), heavy movement of tour
lists to Florida from the East. North
and West has been experienced by
the transportation lines leading in
to Jacksonville, according to S. c.
Baird, Florida passenger agent of
the Illinois Central Railroad. Prior
to that date the travel was some
what slight, compared to last year,
which accounts for the big increase
this month, it is said.
In fact, it is believed that the
traffic this month is considerably
heavier than for the same period in
1915, and railroad men are con-
fidently expecting steady flow OF
tourists into Florida.
Mr.. Baird said the hotels in Flor
ida are preparing to do good bust
ness during the next few months
and parties of hotel help from the
North are daily arriving by rail and
water.
AS an example of the heavy traf-
fic being handled by the railroads
the Seminole Limited, from Chicago
to Jacksonville, several days ago
was double as far south as
Albany, Ca, or, in other words, i,
was necessary to use two engines te
haul the large number of cars. Rail
road men expect that thousands viii
be brought to Florida within the
next three months.

PREHISTORIC SEA COVERED
LARGE PART OF UNITED STATES

A prehistoric sea, or arm of the
ocean, which extended from the
Gulf of Mexico far up into New York
State, together with the early ami
NAL life of this sea, is described in
an interesting manner by the Unit
ed States geological survey in re-
porting to correspondent on a rock
sample:
This rock was formed very long
ago, many millions years ago, in
what geogolists call the Devonian Pc
riod. At that time large part of
the eastern United States was oc-
cupied by an arm OF the sea which
extended northeastward from the
Gulf of Mexico region into New York
State, The eastern part of the sea
was not far east of the present line
of the Blue Ridge and the Highlands
of New Jersey and southeastern New
York, and still farther east lay a
great continent which extended an
unknown distance into the area now
occupied by the North Atlantic The
northern shore of the sea was some
where near line drawn from AL
bany through Syracuse, Rochester,
and Buffalo. The present site of the
Catskills was hus near the north
east end or head of this sea or gulf,
with land not far away on the east
and north.
"The sea teemed with life, almost
wholly interebrate animals and ma
rine plants, and the larger part of
the life appears to have inhabited
the sea bottom. Brachipods, though
rare now, were very abundant then,
and many others forms of animals
crawled about or grew upon the sea
floor. AS the streams washed in
sand and mud from the neighboring
lands the sea gradually filled up and
the shells of many brachipods and
other shell-bearing animals were
thus buried in the sand and their
| forms preserved till now. By slow
upward movement of the earth's
crust the sea was drained from the
region and the beds OF sand and mud
that had been the sea floor were
hardened into sandstone and shale,
| tnI a Of ,hA
/ sea level to form great new land.
The Catskill mountains have since
been carved from this uplifted mass
of rock through the cutting of val
! hys by the streams
"As rule none of the original ma
terial of the shells is preserved, hay
ing been dissolved away long ago.
The sand being closely compacted
about the shells, their forms We're
preserved, however, as molds in the
sandstone. Some of the molds have
since been filled by calcite Calcium
carbonate which has crystallized
from water that soaked through the
rock, and thus casts were formed
having the same shape as the orr
ginal shells and consisting of sim
liar material The fact that few, if
any. whole shells were preserved in
this particular rock shows that,
after the death of the animals that
they belonged to. the shells were
washed about by waves and currents
and more or less broken up before
being buried in the sand"
