The National Breakfast Fruit.

The National Breakfast Fruit.
few years ago, and within the memory OF every
one grapefruit was luxury enjoyed only by wealthy
people. Today on account Of it's delicious, appetizing
flavor and it's heatgvng food and tonic Values it is
fast becoming the National Breakfast Fruit, and the
demand forit is rapidly increasing This demand has
given birth to practically enterprse-the culture
of commercial grapefruit
Strange as it may seem, grapefruit is grown sue
cessfuly only in the West Indies and Florida, and
Florida is today producing better quality of fruit
than the West Indies
Large Profits from Small Groves.
The profits that have already been made by many
of the grove owners of Florida have attracted hun
dreds of farmers and investors from the North where
only the hardest sort of work will produce ever fair
profits from large acreage, because, for many months
out of each year, the Northern farm is non-productve
and held, ice-bound, in the grip Of Winter.
But in Florida, with it's perpetual sunshine and
gentle rains everything is different. Think of making
s., APO year from 10acre grapefruit grove! Think
of getting $4,000 in cash for the crop from 5acre
grove still on the trees Imagine making net profit of
almost 100000 in eight years from % acres of grape
fruit trees
These are the profits that many grove owners are
making now, and have been making for several years.
These are the profits that are attracting to Lakeland

vantage of the growing demand for Florida grapefruit
The Biggest Crops from the Best Land.
Lakeland Highlands is in Polk County, Florida,
where some of the best commercial groves and largest
nurseries in the State are located and where much fine
fruit is raised. Here the SOIL climate and natural
sources are well suited to grapefruit culture that
experts declare to be the best section of the State for
that purpose and predict that Lakeland Highlands will
soon be the Grapefruit Center of the World. :"

So much emphasis is constantly
placed upon the necessity for special
care of the baby in summer. when the
heat is excessive and diarrheal dis
cases at their worst, that the fact that
winter, too, has its special dangers for
the baby is sometimes overlooked.
But the combination of heat and
dlarrhea is hardly more serious for
the baby in the months of July and
August, than are cold and respira-
tory diseases in winter.
II is plain then, that the winter care
of the baby deserves special attention
from everyone interested in his health
and well being.
II has been demonstrated quite con-
rlusively that large part of the
deaths from summer diarrhea are
needless. because this disease may be
cured in many cases, and prevented
entirely in many more by the proper
care and feeding of the baby during
the heated months. The same doctrine
is now being applied to the group of
what are commonly called winter dis
eases" of babies and children, name
". bronchitis, pneumonia, colds,
and the like, which are, like diarrhea,
10 a large extent, preventable by the
intelligent care of the baby, and by
surrounding him with proper living
conditions.
These proper living conditions con-

 Neither my profession nor anything else could make me suspect you again" he urged vehemently. Tell me I'm for given-that I may call on you-that-"
 But, womanlike, she would not sur render all at once. Instead, she inter- rupted his plea to say:
 "Mr. Lamar, I don't mean to be inn pertinent, but why do you follow such a profession? Is it a joy to track down and capture society's poor victims? For instance, this Yelled Woman. What pleasure do you get from pursuing her-from turning her into hunted criminal? Why can't you let the mis- erable creature rest in peace?"
 His face had grown very grave as she spoke. With almost a note of so- lemnity in his voice he made reply:
 'I know men who loved the manhunt for the manhunts sake It is not so with me. It has never been so. You ask what pleasure I get in pursuing criminals, in thwarting them, in mak ing the city safe from them. What pleasure does the shepherd get from driving away the wolf from his sheep fold? He is not by trade a hunter of wolves, but a protector of sheep. So that the sheep may sleep peacefully in their fold, the shepherd spends cold and wakeful nights on the hills often at the risk of his own life, to kill the wolf that menaces his flock. We law enforcers are shepherds So that honest | folk may be safeguarded, we spend our lives trailing human wolves that seek to prey on them That is my mis- sion. Not as sweet mission as yours among the poor and the unfortunate | but life that is not ignoble."
 IT think I understand now" an- swered June gravely; after a moments silence land I thank you for telling me. See,' she added, i've are at my
 house already. I thought the walk was longer. Won't you come in?' | He wondered at the fervor of the , invitation, and at the worry that awok.

Spanish OppOrtunitv

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 Spain is the largest neutral nation of Europe, and there seems to be no re- mote possibility that she will be drawn into the war. She has no large inter- ests which conflict with those of the warning powers Like all the rest of Europe she suffers from the disturbed conditions. but she may, none the less. reap advantages from the abnormal state of affairs.
 But Spain is notoriously unenterprising. Once the greatest nation of the world. her luxury ruined her fiber, and in slothfulness she degenerated to a low position far from commensurate with her population and resources. Lately there have been signs of an awakening of en- ergy, and the opportunity now offered may not be entirely lost
 The announcement of a Spanish line of steamers between Vigo and New York is at least encouraging. It indicates a certain desirable animation. Were there more animation and less dream ming more erergy and less guitar playing, more hu- manitaranism and less bull batting the outlook for Spain to resume her place as . world power would be bright

NAVY YARD ACTIVE

Out at the navy yard there is more ac- tivity than heretofore. The aero squadron make flights each day and seem to handle the aeroplanes with all ease. A visitor cannot get close to them. but has to stand some distance from the water and see them start off The North Carolina was in port, as well as three torpedo boats, and they presented a splendid ap pearance. But they are object lessons for preparedness The North Carolina has $50 men, whereas her normal comple- ment is around 800, I was informed. It was Friday and wash day aboard ship. I really believe that Secretary Daniels is going to have to buy some new decks for the vessels. They had sailors and sa- polio and sand. The way they cleaned the decks of the vessels was a caution.
 I thought of what fine combination Uncle Sam would have if in addition to his navy yard at Pensacola he had an armor plant at Birmingham. Somehow it seems to me that if we are going to have preparedness spelled with a capital "P" we ought not to have to rely on Lake Su- perior ores and eastern cities for our supplies of armament. An enemy navy might take to the great lakes and do much damage, but they could not get up the Warrior, and even if they got to Cor dova they could not get into Birmingham because we are "busted'' up there and cannot build a road to the river. Some of these days we will see this ore propo- sltion in it's true light, we will see what the Warrior really means, and then we can truly appreciate the old Roman who kept digging until he got 1t.
 By the way, what incentive has the gov ernment got to do anything more for us when We do not fully utilize what we have? BILL SYKES

deep down in her dark eyes. June was in dire perpleXity. She wanted Lamar to come into the house; on the bare chance that she might be able to abstract the coat he so zealously carried or to exchange it for one of the same general appearance that she had bought two years earlier in Paris. On the other hand, she dreaded lest her mother should see and recognize the coat and say something that should reawaken his suspicious. June did not know whether to be sorry or glad when Max answered regrettully:
 q wish I might come in. And I'm go- ing to call, just as soon as you'll let me- But I must hurry off to police headquar- ters now with this coat. The police will comb the whole city for the maker and there's no time to waste"
 ''The shepherd must still track the wolves?" she said, in forced lightness.
 Yes" he told her The most dan gerous wolf for many day. But have a clue here that will land her in the trap before tomorrow night. I'll stake every thing on that prophecy. Good-by."
 Good hunting!' she called merrily over her shoulder as she ran up the steps to the front door.
 But the moment she was in her own room the lightness of manner fell from her, like an iu-ftting garment. Her face was suddenly drawn and haggard.
 Hell do itr' she said to herself, over and over again. Hell do it. Nothing can stop him. Nothing can save me"
 Gradually the Red Circle crept into sight on the back of her white hand. When she spoke again her voice had grown tense as a taut guitar string.
 Nothing can stop him. she repeated. Nothing can save me-except myselfr'

in the Dakotas. Only little over year has passed since the federal reserve sys- tenn was put into operation, and yet it was possible for MT. Rich to say to the men of the northwest that in the last three months of 1915 the federal reserve bank of Minneapolis paid out for crop moving purposes approximately $S,000,00O in federal notes, and this in addition to $6,000,o0O, which had been previously put out for use in the crop raising district.
 On the other hand there came into the district from the east only about 1,OoO, OO0 for crop moving purposes, whereas in former years many millions were sent from the east to aid the farmers in Financing their crops from the fields to the markets. MT. Rich also told his hear CTS that interest rates were on the whole more favorable than they had ever been. Furthermore, the federal reserve bank of the Ninth district in putting into cir culation this $14,000,O00, knew that not one dollar of it represented imitation, because this entire amount is covered by gold coin and gold certificates held in Wash ington.
 One of the most important of the les sons learned in the first year of the fed eral reserve system is that the system Is probably to make it possible for the farmers of the west hereafter to obtain
 
 cultivation, garnering and marketing of their crops For nearly 50 years, aid of this kind has been sought and obtained in the east. Another feature which with Tn year or two the federal reserve sys- tenn will probably demonstrate in a very striking manner is the probability that there will be change in the disposition that has long prevailed in other parts of the country to deposit large funds in the banks of New York
 This movement of funds from the in- terlor explains in a measure the unpar- alleled growth of several banks of New York city Yet, under the federal re- serve system, the experience of the year seems to have demonstrated that there is no good reason why man in business in Fargo should not enjoy as favorable basis on which to do business as the man whose business is in New York or Philadelphia. MT. Rich informed the farmers of Dakota that a years exper- fence Justifies him in believing that equality of credit accommodation will be secured in all parts of the United States and that this will be largely through the influence of the federal reserve system.

MRS. CORRIE HANDLEY RICE

, is being educated in music through the chi]ds interest, and second, popular con- certs at popular prices for the children next season will be almost an assured thing.
 Mrs Rice said: There is a movement all over the country to give children
 music as part of their regular education, children are taught music in all the schools, childrens musical clubs are formed, such as our own Junior Music Study club, children are being organized into choruses to sing with the orchestras, and that is one of the dreams of the fu- ture that we hope to relze in Birming- ham,
 The children are showing their real in terest in the coming of the orchestra in many amusing ways One day very lately at dinner a small boy remarked to his mother he wished he had "the whole per- cusson family The old mammy stand ine near, having been victim of the lit- tie boys noises all afternoon said, "I think you sure had the whole percussion family up stairs this afternoon" A high school pupil when asked if she was going to attend the concert, replied Well I guess yes; Minneapolis is my middle name.'
 The afternoon programme, although
 rather popular in the sense of not dealing with the very heavy classics, IS dlSD Ol lue pest nldleTldl. lHe CnlluFeH are well acquainted with many of the numbers such as for instance the Men, delssohn Spring Song, but after they have heard it played by the orchestra it will become an inspiration.
 The high school pupils, however, re- quested something of a bigger nature, and asked to have a symphony. This 1 too, was given, and the study of the sym phony began. A literary explanation was 1 first given, then the theme by theme studied, each phrase was introduced and 1 the work was not merely music, but music as an art.
 The great educational value of the con- cert, therefore, for the children has had it's reactionary effect on the general pub- lic and awakened a new interest ir music. Literary clubs are studying and hearing talks illustrated by the use of records to famiiarize themselves, the grown-up population is awake to the needs of intelligent appreciation, and is finding keen enjoyment in the anticipation of this great musical treat for themselves as well as the children.

of the states, Montana. leads all others in the United States in the production of copper.
 The federal reserve agent for this Ninth district, John R. Rich, who is associated with the management of the federal re- serve bank at Minneapolis, has upon sev- eral occasions had personal evidence of the intense interest which the farmers and stock raisers in that vast district take in the federal reserve system. No where in the United States is this interest so strongly demonstrated as in the Dako- tas Only a few days ago MT Rich ad dressed the members of the Implement Dealers association, who had met in an nual convention at Fargo, N.

In an interview with Mrs. Corrie Hand ley Rice, relative to the childrens S matinee of the Minneapolis orchestra, she showed me a programme submitted by MT. Ober- hoffer conductor of the orchestra. for this special occasion, which he had called the Kid Concert" It seemed such an intimate sort of title that we take pleas ure introducing this article in MT. Ober- hoffers words, and this matinee in all it's details unless we consider the splen- didly selected programme, is being truly given for the kddieS.
 Mr Oberhoffer in writing to Mrs. Rice relative to the concert for the children, and this is the only extra matinee given along the tour, said he was very much fattered that the children had remem- bered him. On former visit to the city Mr. Oberhoffer had made some remarks illustrative of the work on the programme and all the children that had heard him had never forgotten this
 The whole world has come to acknowl- edge the necessity of a musical education, The infinite tenderness that music lends to the soul of man needs not wait to be developed until the man or woman is mature, but real appreciation of music in children awakens their better natures early in life. With this thought in mind Mrs. Rice as her part of the bringing and success of the orchestra, and being a teacher and knowing the needs and de- sires of children along this line if the child is only awakened, is making this concert q community service in giving the concert for the children and the price within the reach of all.
 And are the children interested? Just you watch. Every little tot for a week or more has known the seating of the or chestra has had some knowledge of the music, probably heard it reproduced on Victrola, and has begged to be allowed to go to the matinee as a real treat and privilege.
 All this is very significant; it means that the awakened interest of the child has two distinct values; first, the parent
