NATURALLY, I was curious to know
~ the plan of these two crooks
whereby I could give land away and yet
make money on the DEAL SO said 10
them:
81 never heard of making money by
giving away anything, but I'm always
open to learn
The elder man cleared his throat with
that disgusting noise SO many of these
New Workers make and said
This is how YOU can work it. OF
course YOUR ad offering a free lot of
Florida land to the first fifty applicants
will bring thousands of answers. Now
get this. Mr.. Flint: All YOU have to do
is to write every mothers son of 'em
that their letter was in the first fifty
received, and all they got to do is to
come to your office and pick it out-ab-
solutely free Then just mention casual
like, that, of course, there's trittng
charge for making out the deed, but lf
YOU give the land they'll not holler at
payin' for the deed.
'When they call, tell 'em that the
cost for the deed is--oh. $3.50. Then
tell 'em that there is just one lot left
next to them, and If they like to have it
youu let 'em have it for an odd $40
rather than keep it. You'll find most
$3.50 for two lots--and they'll think
they're getting a swell deal
"Now your profit on the deal would
be Sl1S0 on every two lots sold, or on
the whole 20, 900 you'll clean up S236,Ooo
and your expenses virtually nothing
"Why don't YOU do it yourselves, II
it's so good?' | asked,
We'll, you see, it's like this, we want
to get back right away TO our farms
you've got farms in Florida-we
grow grapefruit"
Your plan sounds a. bit crooked to
me-" was my next objection.
"Oh, it's fair enough They couldn't
get deed drawn up by lawyer any
cheaper--and if anybody insisted on 1t
you could tell 'em to have their own
lawyer draw it up and you'll give the
land--thatll keep yer within the law.
That settled it and | turned them
down, hut not till they argued ana
coaxed for another hour-finally they

good work the 500 or more loyal fans at
the General American plant have prac-
tically demanded tab the be given a
chance to demonstrate his real worth
against the Hammond team with Buck

General American fans have the utmost
confidence in Bsichley not withs landing
the fact that he made poor showing
when pitching for Hammond against
Joliet as they insist that this was his
only off-day of the entire season. To
prove their contention is right they are
willing TO back Baichey and the rest

promise not to use any new outside

Sporting Editor Times:
Just a few lines to protest
against the brand of ball games
and mediocre teams and play
ers the management of the
home team are furnishing the
fans. That 4th of July game
and the Galligan game made the
fans Disguised and now comes
the Gen. American team for
Sunday. The rest of the league
teams are not playing scrub
teams and why do we fans have
to put up with it. If Mgr. Nagel
wants Pitcher Baichley to re-
deem himself with the fans why
not get a good team here and let
him pitch for the home team.
If the management is going to
play cheap ball let them cut the
prices. The fans are not de-
handing cheap bali. If they
keep furnishing any more such
games the fans will resent it by
their absence form the games.
This is the sentiment of dozens
Of steady every-game fans |
have talked with.

SPECIAL DAYS FOR coURTING
Four Sundays in Month Of November
Devoted by Hollanders to Process
Of Matchmaking.

It is the usual thing with the Dutch
to compress matchmaking in all its
branches within the month of Novem-
Der, an exchange says. The four Sun
days of the month mark the four
stages Of the courtship, and each Is
known by its individual name as RE
View Decision" Purchase" and
Possession" Sunday. On Review
Sunday in a village the whole popula-
ton fingers after church while the
young people parade about, but shyly
sforbear to speak. Decision Sunday is
long step forward. After the serv-
Ice each bachelor approaches the
maiden of his choice with ceremoni-
GUS bow. He must be shrewd, for
from her manner Of responding he is
to judge whether it is the part of wis
dom or of danger to make further adj
vances If the test Of Decision Sun
day is safely passed the sutton waits
week and on Purchase Sunday, calls
upon the parents of his beloved. With
their approval he may appear on Pos
session Sunday as a prospective bride
groom. November is chosen as the fit
test month of the year, because the
hardest work of farming is over and
the comfortable time of gathering the
harvest is the merriest season of all.

WORLDS FIRST STEAM FERRY
Was Established by John Stevens in
1911, Running Between Hoboken
and New York.

The first ferry in the world was
established in 1911 by John Stevens be-
tween Hoboken and New York. TAX
ing up the study of steam in 1889, 1t
is recorded, he took out patents on ma
rine engines three years later, and
in 1913 completed his first boat, sue
cessfully operating it on the Hudson
river. In 1904 second boat was
equipped with two screws, and the
style Of propeller designed by him was
for many years preferred above later
inventions. Though this was the first
application of steam to the screw-pro-
peller, yet this design was the identi-
cal short, four-threaded screw used
today. 1t is remarkable that this form
of propulsion was not practically intro
duced until 1887. His original steam
boat also contained the first condens-
ing double-ncting engine ever made in
America, and multi-tubular boiler.
In 1907 he built the sidewheel steam
boat Phoenix, which was a few days
behind Fulton's vessel In attaining the
legal speed, and was thus shut out
from the Hudson river; but he boldly
steamed her around to the Delaware
by sea, being the first to navigate
the ocean with the new motive power.
