The farms are located on good roads,

drainage installed. The Venice Farm
Board sells these farms at moderate
prices on liberal terms and stands back

would replace the Nickel Plate as the

Sweringen railroad merger today lack
ed confirmation in Wall Street, where
those in close touch with the Cleveland
magnates asserted that no new plan
had been adopted.
Proposals to make the Chesapeake

consolidation was outlined two years
ago, bankers explained, and rejected
as unworkable at that time. Chesa
peake minority stockholders, it was
said. probably would favor such a
plan, but it might be impossible to
obtain the agreement Of the other
roads to the change.

Chairman E. n. Brown said today that
he had heard Of no contemplated

BY I. A. FLEMING,

Without exception the delegates
from Washington to the A. B. A. con-
vention at Los Angeles, all having
now returned, assert that the honors
OF the gathering were carried off by
Harry H. Mckee, the able president
of the National Capital Bank of this
city
This was the first word brought by
the earliest of the returned delegates
and is further accentuated by later
reports. Mr.. Mckee's great speech on
the McFadden bill and the manner in
which he ripped to pieces the Hull
amendments thereto. has been COM
mented on before, and it is sufficient
honor that he, by his logic and his
arguments, literally forced the associ-
alton to reverse itself and give in
dorsement. unqualified, to the McFad-
den measure sans the Hull append
ages.
The late corners, including Howard
Moran, president Of the District Bank
ters' Association. tell a wonderful story
of the ability with which Mr. Mckee
met every phase of the situation as it
developed. how he disclosed a Won
derful. mastery knowledge of par
worded resolutions with the tact and
the diction of a master and displayed
a knowledge of legislative matters
and their probable handling by Con-
gress.
There wasn't man in that great
crowd of 1000 people but what recog-
nized the master when Mr.. Mckee

comment ended after this fashion,

Out in Cleveland, Ohio, there is

for themselves in the financial world.
Their banks and financial activities ex-
tend from Coast to Coast. Their success
has led them into new fields. They are
now fostering community comprising
a model city, fundamental industries
and intensive farms where any thrifty,
earnest family can reach actual financial
independence without shaving away the
years but, rather, enjoying them in fresh
air and invigorating sunshine.
And understand this; there was no
idea of a Florida promotion as SUCH
butVenice, Florida, was chosen because
it won out in comparison with other
places, some exceedingly interesting.
