WHERE THE PROFIT IS.
A Little Extra Effort Adds Velvet
After Expenses Are Paid.

Did you ever stop to think that if
crop only pays expenses, the grower
is actually losing money! Does it seem
far-fetehed to say that tle loss of an
opportunity to make money is the
same as the loss Of the money itself?
That is really what occurs il mos
cases where a crop only pays expen-
SEES. Nearly always, just a little more
effort or "A slight difference in methods
would add a little more to the result
produced, and this addition would be
all profit.
The profit all comes after the ex-
pcnses are paid, and it is right there
tlat extra effort pays If the man
with Il neglected orchard sells just
enough fruit to pay for the use of the
land and what little labor he expends

|DEAiH OF COL. SMITH
and Popular Member of
Alexandria Bar Passes Away
Yesterday Afternoon.

Although the many friends and ac-
ouaintances OF Colonel Fplncis L..
Smith knew he was confined to his
home, southeast corner Of Wolfe and
st. Asaph, streets, by serious lndis-
position, and that the chances for his
ultimate recovery were doubtful, they
were startled when they learned that
The passed away between two and
three O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
It was probably two hours later be-
fore the news of his death had been
generally circulated. His funeral will
take place at o'clock Monday
afternoon from St. Paul's church.
Francis Lee Smith was born Octo-
Der 6, 1915; hence he was nearing the
list milestone Of his life. He was the
third son of the late Francis l.. and
Sarah Gosnell Vowel Smith, and at
The time of his birth the family re-
sided on Fairfax street, between
Prince and Duke. In early life ne
was a student at the Virginia MILL
;arv Institute, and while cadet at
that institution served as Conted-
crate soldier and was seriously
wounded at the battle Of Newmarket,
having been shot in the neck. AT the
close of the war he returned to his
nome and became associated with MS
father, one Of the most prominent par
;sters of his day. In later years the
subject of this notice had climbed to
a prominent position among the legal
fraternity, having succeeded his
father, who had becn counsel OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad in Alexandra.
At the close of the civil war the own
nrship Of what was known as the
Washington and Alexandria Railroad,
extending from Princess and St.
.Asaph streets to the south end OF the
! Long Bridge, became an object OF
i contention in the courts. The late
J James S. French, who had been pres!-
| cent of the company before the civil
..,ar, and parties representing the
Pennsylvania Railroad interests, were
the !itigants and there were cases
end courter-'c eases which hung in the
courts for years. Only the best law
| ;crs were employed by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, and this
corporation for years retained the
Late G. W. Bent, father of Samue!
! G.. Brent. Upon his death in 1871 the
i:te s. Fuerguson Beach and the late
Francis L. Smith, father of the Col

this notice succeeded this; brilliant ar
Yay of legal talen:, and for many
years had been in the employ of the
