This is the clean, breezy phosphate
suburb of Mulberry where all the
houses are fine and no one that is not,
1t begins with the charming Trinagle

people are bright.
The immense phosphate mill here
is 500 feet long and 81 wide. Its Co.
racity is from as to 20 tons day. In
normal times over 1000 people work
for this phosphat plant.

examine it, superior to the sulphite
pulp now monopolizing the paper mar
kets of the world. 1t is interesting to
note that the present price of sulphate
pulp is about $3.50 a ton whereas the
Leesburg plant expects to be able
to turn out this high-grade material
at about $25 a ton and make fair
margin of profit at that price. Mr..
Leach says that the company hopes
to have all the necessary machinery
installed and in operation shortly af-
ter the first of May. The harvesting
machine is now being assembled in
the factory in the North and will soon
be ready for shipment. The remainder
of the plant is now practically COM
pleted and ready for active work.

Scout organization is builder of character and

HITTING THE BALL.

The announcement that the hitting of one of the
baseball favortes has been reduced since he
became ball-killer that he has dropped in the hit
ting average list from the first the oreth place in
his League This will be regarded justification of the
contention of many baseball experts that the safe
hitter is the one who concentrates of making
first base than he does of the circuit. other cor
roborating evidence in behalf of this theory is the
fact that the New York American team has been
successful this year in Winning games than 1t
was last year Notwithstanding the absence from the
game of the famous Babe Ruth.
In baseball in other things the valuable man
is the who hits the ball every day, his head
and does good team work all the time, and lets
the record look out for itself rather than the spec
tacuar spotlight lover who makes a home run now
and again.

Alaska and because subchasers be sent here to
