Seventeen Groves
q. o. Burned At Miami

Miami, March 27-Four groves in
the vicinity Of the west Twentieth
street school house were burned over
Saturday afternoon and only by dint
of desperate fight put up by thirty
men, hastily assembled, were the
sawmill, the school house and the
little store saved from the devourinlg
flames. These four groves added to
those burned in the Coral Gables
plantation district the day before
bring the total Of groves either part
ly or entirely burnt over to sew
enteen. Fires are reported still rag
ing in the Redlands section.
Three of the four groves burnt
over were the property of the Sun
shine Fruits Co., of Cocoanut Grove,
and were about four years old. They
had been kept in excellent condition
and were considered valuable prop
erty. Because they were in a dor
mant state as a result of the long:
drouth It is believed by grove men
that many Of the trees, If not all,
will come out again.
Fire Crosses Twelfth Street
The grove of d. w. Bollinger, on
West Twentieth, was threatened yes
terday. but by means of rapidly set
backfire it was saved. Shortly after
noon Saturday the fire crossed
Twelfth street on it's march north,
but SO much of that territory has
been cut over and cultivated that
the flames are not gaining much
Roadway. From Twelfth street south
the fire has burned strip of varying
width for a distance of five miles. In
places the burned district is between
two and three miles wide In other
places it is less than a mile
In some of the young groves burnt
over there is not green leaf left to
indicate the life and beauty that was
there a day or two ago Row after
row of trees are as brown as though
a heavy freeze had visited them.
Growers expect that with the advent
Of the spring rains the trees will
make another effort for life, and
then they will go over and cut away
all of the dead wood

FLORIDA BUILDING

From the building supply people
generally, and in South Florida in
particular, there comes general
story of improved conditions. Some
of the cement people who were strug-
Cling year ago for orders, and
barely paying expenses, are now SELL
ing in small quantities, because of
lack of material to supply the de-
mand caused by the increase in
building operations.
This is one of the best portents in
Florida. This state has shown a ten
dency toward improvement, and the
building trades are usually the baet
index to the material prosperity of
any section.
With a revival of building, there
generally follows a demand for other
things that make for prosperity and
progress, and with the present grow
ing demand for building material,
we are leu 10 Del1eFe that 1910 Is W
be the most prosperous year Florida
has had since the land boom days Of
1911.
Indeed we may expect return of
the demand for lands, in this state
not lands for speculative purposes.
but lands for development purposes.
The prices of every article of food
stuffs show a steady upward tend
ency, and with better producing and
marketing conditions, Florida ought
to be helped more than any other
state in this general uplft of pro-
duction and price for foodstuffs.
We can raise enough cattle and
hogs not only to supply our own
needs, much of which has formerly
been supplied from outside sources,
but we can add to our production in
this line, until we shall be able to
supply much of the beef and pork
and their products for other sections,
and even for export Lake Worth

people will pass her up, but you'd

Mabel started to spring forward, but
Charlie frightened his arm about her.
She wrested herself away from him

him as she let herself out of the car.

MILITARY TRAINING

The present situation of the Unit
ed States, bordering on war with
Mexico while many seen and unseen
perils threaten from the European
war, tends to emphasize the wisdom
of General Waship gton's recommen
,, dation 125 years ago, namely: the
system of training all youths from
eighteen to twenty in the art of de-
Tense.
1t is nonsense to say that this will
make us a military nation, or that it
will create a warlke spirit
Mliitarism does not prevail in Hol-
land, hut Holland has followed this
system for generations.
The Swiss are not afflicted with
militarism, but to the efficiency of
the Swiss youth as sharpshooters, in
military drill and knowledge, is due
the fact that no other nation has
! ever violated Swiss territory.
Belgium did not have universal
training She thought she was safe
guarded by ironclad treaties guar
anteeeing her protection, signed by
France, Germany and England, her
three all-powerful neighbors. If she
had had as efficient an army as has
Switzerland her soil would never
have been made the cockpit of Eu
rope
The Swiss youth begins in his high
school days with gymnastics two or
every Swiss better man physically.
At eighteen, the Swiss high school
boy has military training for two
hours two or three times week. He
first learns military tactics. obedience
| self discipline, neatness, punctuality.
and, finally, he spends two or three
months in actual camp doing all the
work of trained soldier except kill
ing.
There are shooting galleries all
over Switzerland. Every boy has a
shooting score card" This admits
him to the shooting galleries at any
hour that his regular work for live
lihood or school hours make most
convenient Every time he goes to
the gallery the keeper marks on the
score card the record made.
He has to practice until he makes
a certain number of bullseyes. If he
is long time in learning he has to
begin to pay for his ammunition.
AS soon as he qualities as a sharp
shooter he presents his Endorsed card
and put on the reserve list as a
competent sharpshooter.
| This system makes every soldier a
sharpshooter-a terrible enemy to
deal with. :.
Switzerland is as democratic in
every respect as the United States.
1t is wholly free from the spirit of
militarism. But it has at all times
100000 trained and equipped men.
If the United States trained its
youth in the same way it would have
at all times a trained army of H.
100000 of men ready for defense

OPENED EYES
BY LESLIE FORD.

Just look at Ben Todd, the station
agent, going back to the depot the
near way" Mrs. Perkins called TO her
daughter. I'll bet he and Mapel
have quarreled about that whipper-
snapper Charlie Wilkes, for she was
out automobiling with that fellow
yesterday, and they passed the depot
three times, as if they were just de-
termined Ben should see them"
Mrs. Perkins jumped to conclusions
with the skill of practiced gossip,
but in this case she had reached the
right conclusion, for Ben and Mabel
had quarreled the night before when
he went to make his usual Sunday
evening call.
Ben had tried to avoid mentioning
Charlie Wilkes, the dapper young man,
who, while on a vacation visit to
Marshville, had been paying Mabel so
much attention that all the town was
wondering how much longer Ben
would stand it without putting his
foot down. AS Ben and Mabel sat
on the front porch there was sitting
sense of impending storm. Converse
ton moved haltingly. Eight o'clock
came and passed, and from over the
hill came the faint sounds Of the
church organ.
Are we going to the union song
service tonight?' asked Ben.
What for?" retorted Mabel. ITO lis
ten to Mamie Cobb try to outsing
Elsie Martini"
Seemed like you enjoyed the
church social Thursday night; that is,
it looked that way to an outsider like
me-" Thus Ben touched of the spark
that exploded his intention to avoid
the one subject of which they were
both thinking.
Yes, did, and that because l was
with live wire." snapped Mabel. IF
a few people like that lived in Marsh
vile there'd be something to enjoy all
the time
Ben took his hat from the end Of
the porch seat
Since you've made it plain that
there's no enjoyment for you in my
company, l can mighty soon relieve
you Of it," Ben descended two steps,
and added: Good night, Mabel.
You'll not be bothered with my COM
pany again unless you say the word
OF course, being a man, you'll
blame the woman when things go
wrong. hope you're satisfied, and
I'm sure am. Good night" Mabel
disappeared through the doorway and
Ben walked all around town to reach
his boarding house, only three blocks
away.
During the week that followed, Ma
bel and Charlie Wilkes were often
seen together by the observant towns
people. On Saturday, a celebration
was held in honor of the completion
OF the new town hall, and the festiyi-
ties ended with an evening concert in
the public square. Mabel and young
Wilkes had been dashing around
town in an automobile and they
stopped near the square to listen to
the band.
Gee, this is no life for you, Mabel,
