STOCK MARKET
CLOSES Strong
Munitions Shares Lead List in
Race for Favor of
Buyers. q.
WAR NEWS BIG FACTOR
Most of Gains Hinge on Reports from
Europe and Progress Of Events
in Mexico.

New York, March 13.-stocks closed
buoyant today under leadership of the
munitions shares. Some of the gains
were among the largest recorded in a
single session for months.
This upward swing Of the market be-
gan early in the day and was continuous
throughout the afternoon. Hasty peru
sal Of Washington dispatches gave the
market a heavy opening. The street was
led to believe that Carranza might not
cooperate with the United States In pur-
suit Of Villa. Shortly before noon, how
ever. oflcial dispatches from Washington
dispelIed all doubt on this score.
At the time these dispatches were re-
ceived. Mexican stocks were heavy, be-
ing from to points under the satur-
day closing. Crucible, American Locomo-
tive and Baldwin had been strong from
the beginning on the theory that more
trouble meant more munitions and bigger
profits When Washington dispatches
removed doubt as to the crossing Of the
Rio Grande by American troops, the
whole list turned and followed the lead
ers, which Immediately became extremely
active.
Give Victory to France.
Although dispatches from Verdun were
not conclusive, the Wall Street theory
that every movement is a failure unless
it can be proved a pronounced success,
gave the victory to France.
One evidence Of this was seen in the
new low record for marks, which touched
Y Sis. This together with the hope that
presence OF American troops in Mexico
would lead to something that might
cause real intervention was the reason
for the buoyancy Of the market.
Stocks most affected by the Mexican
situation are Southern Pacific, American
Shelters and Mexican Petroleum. The
first two have properties where there is
going to be trouble, in territory already
held by Villa, while the Southern Paci-
fic may make some money transporting
troops to the region Of hostilities and
thus counteract any loss II might other
wise sustain through a fight. Shelters
stands chance only to losses for the
time being.

CITIES OF DOMESTlCITY.
In America a Large Proportion of the
Population Own Their Homes.

In America a Large Proportion of the
Population Own Their Homes.
Mayors of American cities can speak
with pride of the fact that so large
part of the people they represent,
though with small incomes, are the
owners of the property in which they
i've. A home of this kind, says the
St Louis Globe Democrat. is not only
an investment of the best order, but is
also one of the best promoters Of the
saving habit. 1t is fortunately the case
In the United States that worker for
wages can hope to acquire land. 1t Is
different in Europe, where it Is not
practicable to ecOnomiZe enough to
and so hedged about by conditions Of
ownership that the toiler has scarcely
sny encouragement to look in that di-
rection. Wages also are decidedly low
er these and the margin for individual
thrift much smaller. In this country
the horizon of opportunity is so wide
that every ambitious worker can see
that what has been done by tens of
thousands of industrious men can be
done by himself. The aspiration may
be city home or farm, and it can
be realized without great difficulty by
an average American. though he starts
with nothing beyond the weekly pay
envelope. The cities of Europe are
in -
though their history may reach back
many centuries.
The year ahead in the United States
is certain to be one of unusual activity
among the purchasers of real estate for
their own residence. Savings banks
show the steady accumulation of mon
ey by the wage earning class. A home,
wisely chosen, is gilt edge invest
ment. The dividends begin from the
day of purchase. Many a man will
say that he never saved money to any
extent until he bought a home and
squared his affairs to pay for it. Pay
ing for home is an incentive to good
habits and good citizenship. It ele
fdteS eLe me VI d nome, lOF Iue owner
takes an active interest in improving
his property. In the course of time
and the years soon roll blythe debt is
cleared off and there is no more rent
to pay. This addition to an income
brings a competency within sight. a
goal to which every right minded man
who labors turns his eyes hopefully
and which is in every way a commend
able motive for himself and the COM
munity Of which he is a part.

CONDEMN BOARD FENCES.
1t Is contended They Are Nusances In
Several Ways.

1t Is contended They Are Nuisances In
Several Ways.
There should be an express prohibi-
ton by ordinance against the erection
OF board fence within the city limits.
says the Baltimore Star. Frame struc.
lures are placed under the building
ban as a fire preventive. The same
structure should be levied upon this
back yard abomination. In declaring
that the board fence is a menace to
health and should not be tolerated
Health Commissioner Blake is doing
this progressive community a material
benefit. He should go a step farther
IN this direction, however, and pro.
mote the introduction of an ordinance
In the city council which will prevent
the erection of all such structures in
the future
Advanced municipal thought has de-
clared that the board fence must be
relegated to the realms of antiquity.
In our growing suburbs education and
experience have done much toward the
complete elimination of this unneces.
sary structure, but it still remains for
the property owner in the old city to
adopt the idea. A prohibition ordi-
nance would tend to promote this con-
dition
Residential congestion in the city has
compelled construction of solid blocks
with the result that there are few
front lawns. The back yard is the only
nome breathing spot, and, whether it
be large or small, it should be made as
attractive as possible. Not only would
a clear vista of a block improve the
civic beauty of the neighborhood, but
there would be tendency to enhance
property values. There are numerous
arguments in favor of an ornamental
barrier; there are none in favor of the
board fence.
The municipality is undertaking the
improvement of alleys and small
streets, and the property owner should
extend the improvement by removing
his fence Unless some general indi.
vidual effort is made in the direction,
the various improvement and civic
organizations should formulate plans
looking to concerted community action.

FARM LOANS WILL BE BASED
ON EARNING POWER OF LAND

The loans which will be granted on
farms under the Federal Farm Loan
act will be based largely on the earn
ing power of the land. According to
a lecture by Senator Duncan U. Flet-
cher before the citrus seminar at the
University of Florida, loans will be
made up to so per cent of the value of
the land. The land will be appraised
to determine it's true value.
In many cases appraisers will be
unable to assess the true value of the
land. Prospective borrowers should
make an inventory of their property
and then keep an accurate set of
books so that the real earning power
can be determined. This is the only
way in which to learn what the farm
is earning. With such records the
farmer can receive a just valuation
and show definitely the results he has
obtained.
/ Whether or not farmer intends to
join a loan association, records will
| be invaluable to him. In no other
way can he know what his capital is
earning or what particular part of his
equipment is not paying dividents. A
system of bookkeeping is as neces-
sary for intelligent farming as it is
for the conduct of other business.

READY To WORK
FOR v. Y. KNOTT

Jacksonville, Nov. Among the
prominent democrats who have writ
ten Chairman George P. Raney, ten
dering their services for the good of
the party in the present campaign is
Gov. Park Trammell. The governor
states that he would be delighted to
make one or more speeches in behalf
of the party if the affairs of the state
will permit. His letter to Chairman
Raney is as follows:
Oct. 25th, 1916.
Mr.. Geo. P. Raney,
Chairman Democratic Campaign
Committee, Jacksonville, Fla.
Dear Sir: Answering your COM
munication of recent date l beg to
state l am always ready to champion
the cause of democracy and to work
for the democratic party, and while
the official demands upon me at the
present time are numerous, l shall
be glad if my official duties will per-
nit, to make one or more speeches in
behalf of the democratic party and the
principles it advocates.
In President Wilson our party has
furnished the nation the greatest
president who has occupied the White
House for half a century. During
his term more good legislation has
been enacted than in any other SINH
lar period during the history of the
republic. ..
Under democratic administration
for forty years, our own state has
been blessed with good government
and a faithful administration of the
public affairs. l feel that there is
every reason for democrats to feel
proud of the splendid record of
made by their party,
and to cause them~to rally to the sup
port of its nominees in the present
campaign. 90 -
For the good of the nation and the
good of our own state I trust that
every Florida democrat will go to the
polls on Nov. 7th and assist in giving
to our party nominees great victory.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Park Trammell.
