GRAPE CULTURE PAYS HERE

The growing of fine bunch grapes
in Florida has in recent years been
much discussed and present indica-
tons are very favorable to the success
of the grape industry in this state.
Local inexperienced growers made
many failures with Northern and 9TH
er stocks and are now learning that
the best and safest stock for them to
plant is from homegrown adapted
stock raised from selected hybrid
stock which has been growing in linn
tied quantities on the Gulf coast for
a good many years. Recent estimates
from those who should know, state
that several local vineyards have fruit
on at present that would indicate a
yield of over a thousand dollars per
acre in fruit this month from vines
planted only little over two years
ago.
This success in grape growing is
bound to attract considerable atten-
ton, one acre of two-year-old plants
having recently rented near here for
two hundred dollars per acre cash ger
year for a period of two years.
Florida Hybrid stock of grape plants
properly grown and cared for is at
last receiving the attention due it.
These grapes usually ripen here
about the third week in June; their
quality is the highest and the demand
for them cannot DE filled for some
time to come. There is no competition
for them in the grape market Their
flavor is distinct and superior to the
best other grapes to be had at any
time. The berries are from medium
to large in size and the punches usual
ly range from one-half to two pounds
each, some varieties averaging one
pound each and others having punches
no larger than the Concord but with
superior flavor.
A company of Boston capitalists
was organized last year after several
years of satisfactory experiments for
the planting of from fifty to one hun
dred acres by beginning with ten acres
last winter while several large COM
panies are in process of organizing at
present writing. From past and pres
ent outlooks those who get in on the
ground floor with honest experienced
growers may rightfully expect Won
derful success.
These grapes do well on great va
riety of soils. We. have in mind at
present writing a half acre on high
Norfolk sandy soil, quite rolling, that
we estimate will yield five hundred
dollars in fruit this season and the
plants were only set two years ago
last winter. We know of others on
extra heavy soil with vines very heavi-
ly loaded. We do not think it will be
very long until Florida will be ship
ping trainloads of grapes north every
June.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct. 15.-
The American Hardware Mannfac-
turers' Association held the openin,c
session of it's annual convention here
today
There were present many represen-
tative men in that line of manufactur-
ing industry, from various parts of
tn country, and the gathering is re-
ported one of the largest of the sea-
son.
After the preliminaries of organi-
zation had been effected Postmaster
General A. S. Burleson was intro
duced and delivered the principal ad-
dress of the day, which was to a
great extent defense of his admin
istration. Among other points pre-
sented, Mr.. Burleson said:
Considering the handicap under
which the post office department
worked during the war, the service
was efficient to marvellous degree.
The railroads broke down under the
enormous military traffic thrown
upon them, and the governmen took
them over. At that time the second
assistant postmaster general reported
to me that there had been $1,000 mis-
connections of mail, which was caused
by failure of the railways to function
properly, and for all that the blame
was thrown upon me. But I have
never lost moments sleep because
of the unfair and vicious assaults
made upon me-"

CAST AWAY ON AN
ISLAND IN 7 H {.
CALIFORNIA GULF
A Trio of Gentlemen Who
Arrived From the South
Last Night, Rival Robin
son CrusO.

Last nights Sonora train had OF
board three Twentieth Century proto
types of DeFoe's hero Robinson
Crusoe, in the persons of Messrs
Belne Brooks, William Heath and G
H. Doughty, all originally from Sar
Diego, California, and until recently
sole inhabitants of st. Georges
Island, in the Gulf of California.
The 18th of September the gentle
men named, together with Captain w.
A. Waters, started from Mayor, Baja
California, for the mouth of the Colo
RADIO River, on prospecting and fish
ing expedition, aboard of a three-ton
gasoline launch called the "Dot."
Reaching st. Georges Island sew
eral days were spent fishing and pros
pecting about the isle. On the eve
ming of October 9, the "Dot" lay an
chored in small inlet on the island
which inlet led into a large cave.
During the night there arose storm
accom- panied by a high wind, with al
most the force of a hurricane. The
crew fought the elements successfully
until about 8 o'clock on the morning
of the 10th, when all moorings were
torn loose and the boat crew and all,
were swept into the cave. In a few
seconds the boat was convrted into
match wood, but the occupants es-
capped with their lives and very little
else.
In the scramble for safety Berne
Brooks rescued from a watery grave
a can of gasoline, which came in
handy in starting a fire from wreck
age of the boat.
Finally dawn came and the Robin
son Crusoe act began. Food was the
first question. Searching about the
island they found numerous nests of
water fowl and they found the eggs
very palatable, especially with a piece
of shark meat (they had caught and

Yesterday Messrs. Oscar Block,
Alex Carpena, Dave Loeb, Nathan
Leeker, Manuel Escalada, returned
from Tucson, where they were in at
tendance on the Arizona Merchants
Convention. They report that the
work of the assemblage was very in

mercial men in Arizona closer touch
with one another, and coming to un-
standings upon many matters of mu-
tual interest.
Moreover, the Nogales delegation
brought the convention to the Line

gathering will draw here leading
merchants from all the principal cities
in Arizona, and it will benefit the
Line City in more ways than one.

VIII Make Special Drive to
Locate Merchants Who
Make Erroneous Returns
of Inventories.

PHOENIX, Oct. ia special
drive to locate merchants and manu-
facturers who have followed erron-
eous methods in making their inven-
tories for the taxable years 1917 and
1918, such methods tending to reduce
, tax liability, is about to be made by
the bureau of internal revenue, it was
announced yesterday.
In cases of voluntary disclosures
before Investigations of failure to
make proper return and payment, the
policy of the bureau, it was stated,
will be to forego penalties except
where there is intentional evasion of
the tax. Where discovery is made by
government officers heavy penalties
will apply.
In som cases inventories have been
found to have been taken on the basis
of average costs, though it was pos
sible to identify the articles remain
ing on hand at the inventory period,
and so determine their exact cost. In
others, because of conservative ac-
counting methods, flat percentages
have been deducted after determining
invntory values. Others use fixed
average, based upon costs of prior
years, or fail to include all merchan-
disc to which they have title in their
inventory.
All of these methods, which have
the effect of reducing tax liability,
are contrary to the regulations of the
bureau and are illustrative, it was

The reporter for "The Oasis" in
Nogales, Sonora, is able to present to
readers fthis paper a relation of
much interest with regard to a young
man known we'll in that city, and the
remarkable good fortune attending
i'im, which has made him a million
Aire almost ever night. He is known
well to the reporter, who has been
cognizant of the story from the time
the gentleman received the wonderful
news.
The name of the fortunate young
man in J. Romolu Casillas and he has
been clerk in the office of the stamp
tax agent in Nogales, Sonora, Mr..
Walterio Pesqueira.
One evening recently Mr.. Casillas
received from the italian consul in
Guaymas communication to the eff
feet that the government at Rome had
been searching for him as the only
living descendant of a family which
included famous cardinal who had
died recently leaving a fortune of
l2,OOO,OO0 lir sterling, with two fine
castles in Italy and other properties,
worth great deal of money. A lire

fortune Mr.. Casollas owns equals ST.
100000 American money in cold cash.
The gentleman has been an humble
clerk, at salary of seventy-fiye

Omitted Press servics)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-One
democratic senator, Owen, of Okla
homa, came out today for amend
ment to the peace treaty; and one
republican senator, Colt. of Rhode
Island, declared himself against
amendment, but for reservations.
Both were speaking to the Shan
tmg provision of the treaty, in set
addresses to the Senate.
Senator Owen advocated an
amendment to the treaty giving
freedom to all subject peoples when
they become fitted for self-govrn-
ment.
Senator Colt maintained that
amendments to the treaty would
need TO be accepted by other nations
who are parties to tn pact; but that
by putting the same subject matter
into reservations the United States
can refuse to be bound by the par
ticular provision at which the reser-
vation is aimed.
