CRESCENT CITY NEWS

shippers here are disposed to pay
their men fair wages. By agree
ment the packers recently agreed on
minimum wage of eight cents pei
box, this to be only where the pick
ing was considered good, but was to
be higher in groves where the fruit
was scattered and the crop small. So
far the packers find that a higher
rate than eight cents is the more
common.
Quite a number of our Crescent
City people attended the State Fair
in Jacksonville, among the number be-
ing Mrs. Herlong, Mrs. E. L. Mathis,
and Misses Mildred and Louise Math-
is.
Mrs. Moffatt of Tallahassee, who

reported for the season comes to US

York, he received a check for $285.50.
Some of the best in this consignment
sold at $3.50 the strap, and others at
s.. The average was $771 per
strap. Mr.. Grimsley sent only we'll
colored fruit, which he put up him
self in the manner of all growers in
the old days. But Mr.. Grimsley's
fruit was clean on the trees and did
not require washing. His grove is
on the east side of Lake Crescent.

LADY AsTOR IN PARLIAMENT.

Lady Aston, an American young woman, is the first
female member Of the British House of Commons.
That is amusing, at least in America. Many Eng
lismen did not ulgest then dinners well when they
heard the news especially the odashoned tory sort that
eat heavy dinners.
The first woman in the British Parliament is Ameri-
cam and most unconventional young which adds
another horror situation for the British con-
servatve When she said to crowd of voters Il have
SIX children now, and haven't finished yet Mrs. Grundy
had spasm.

the fact that Senator Tramme wrote two explanations

The fact that President Wilson was willing to agree
to certain reservations does that he thinks they
should be part of the treaty. 1t meant that he was
willing to even sacrifice less important things than
have the treaty fail altogether Mr.. Trammel would
kill it all if he couldn't jam in explanatory reser-
vations
This is not political matter. If Mr. Fletcher had
voted against the unconditional ratification of the treaty
we would feel that he had made the mistake that Mr.
Trammen df-and believe majority of the people in
this staye feel so.

Yesterday when it was hoped to

Thieves Make Way With
Cash and Jewelry

Sneak thieves robbed the Wash
ington House on Monday evening
and made fairly good haul. Some
valuable jewelry and about $35 in
money belonging to employees
were missed. Inquiry was immed-
lately instituted and two dodgers
were suspected. They, however,
had made a getaway before the
theft was discovered. Officer APPS
ley was notified and he communi-
Gated with the Wilmington police
to ask that the pawnshops be
watched for attempts to turn the
jewelry into cash.
No clue to the thieves has yet
been found.
This is the second robbery with,
in the past two weeks, a number
of automobile tires having beer
stolen from the B. & o. Station 6

Sunday evening, three young men
who were driving recklessly on
Main Street and abusing the horse.

Grammar Grade Children
Have Valuable Lesson In
Real Business

The second issue of the Gram
mar, School News appeared on
Friday and is a better, newsier
issue than its predecessors. This
little bulletin, the only paper pub
lished and edited exclusively by
grammar school students any
where in the East ,as far as can
be learned, has excited much fav-
,orable comment from educators
and others who have been privi-
legged to see the good work done by
the contributors.
That much thought is given to
the publication as business prop
osition is evident from the editor
ial written by Samuel Handloff,
editor. He reviews the financial
status of the paper~last year and
states that the end Of the term
showed a deficit of only 20 cents
He analyses the increased cost OF
labor and of stock shows why the
cost or the paper haSlncreaSeC
from IL or Is dollars per issue tc
81 dollars and explains how this
increased cost may be met.
Following the suggestions of the
editor and his associates, the price
per copy has been raised one cent
the advertising rates have beer
raised, and drive made for sub
scriptions and sales. Recent re
ports show that these young peopl
have met the issue as good bust
