Frugal-Living Couple
Die, Leaving Savings
Half Million Dollars

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 28-(AP)-
Bankbooks crediting savings for sew
eral hundred thousand dollars were
found today in the home of George L.
Gilbert, Civil War veteran, and his
wife. in which they had simply, fru-
gally lived for many years.
Gilbert and his wife were buried
this afternoon. Death had not long
separated them. On Saturday the
wife had entered in the family bible:
'Died-George L. Gilbert, in the S5th
year Of his age" On Monday q
daughter wrote: "Died-Angeline
Sherman Gilbert, in the SIND year OF
her age"
Friends did not know that the Gill
berts possessed wealth. They were
| thought to have lived for years in
very moderate conditions. Gilbert
had been a carpenter since 1865 when
he returned from the war until mfr
mites Of age compelled him to take
| life easily.
Since Mrs. Gilbert's death the
bankbooks have been found. Their
| exact value probably will not be
, known until the estate is offered for
probate court action. 1t is understood
that the accounts will approximate a
| half million dollars.

and that he was certain the message
was signed Olympic"

Profit for Farm Boys

The farm boy can find proHtabls

er at the University of New Ham,
shire. He points out that there n :
steadily increasing demand for this
product and that planting and chi.
tivating the trees can easily be done
by boys.
Two. thousand trees can be planted
to the acre. The small sized trees
can be marketed AS table trees ana
those remaining will then have the
opportunity to develop into FINN
sized Christmas trees. Mr.. Fletcher
advises using three or four year
transplant. Of white or Norway
spruce, which in five years after
setting should be stable trees.
The roots should be spread ont
fiat when the young seedlings are
transplanted, as it has been proved
that by this method they respond
more quickly. Cultivation of fhe
young trees also will induce a more
rapid growth. Leaf mold is a GOOD
fertilizer and as a mulch keeps the
weeds down.
e Mr.. Fletcher warns against plant.
ing in thin or very dry soils or in
swamp soil. He says that the young
trees should not cost more than two
cents each when planted. Even e
only half of the trees are sold for
the Christmas trade the others win
grow and make pulpwood, which Is
bound to be more and more in de-.
mand for the making Of paper and

Following a delicious supper at the
club home Of Augusta lodge, b. p.
o. Elks, Thursday evening, former
Mayor Donald s. McNaughton of
Gardiner spoke most interestingly on
FLORIDA. The speakers remarks
were out Of his personal investiga-
ton of the advantages and resources
of the southern state and were lis
tened to with the closest of atten-
ton by the Elks and guests.
After reviewing something of the
history Of Florida and describing its
geography and topography, Mr.. Nc
Naughton dealt with the recent great
development of the state, saying in
part as follows:
zone reason for this wonderful de-
velopment, if l might sum 1t up in
one sentence would say Consistent
advertising and being able to deliver
the goods
"The Florida rush has been liken-
ed by many to the rush to Californ-
la in 40, and the rush to the Klon-
dixie; but, unlike those movements,
it has resulted, not from the acci-
dental discovery of quantities of yell
low metal, but the cumulative effect
of our most modern instrument for
the dissemination of information
Advertising. Those rushes were ac-
cidental and sudden. The Florida
rush was designed, carefully planned
and fostered over a period of many
years by citizens Of Florida who
having cast their lot there and found
opportunity, wanted others to assist
them in further development, and
told the world what they had found
unlike the '49 rush. here is one
in which people travel in Pullmans
or in automobiles over highways as
smooth as the floor of your living
room, and all of the trains are
crowded and all Of the roads are
full.
"They tell yarn at Tampa about
pussy cat that crossed a highway in
pursuit of bird, leaving her kit
| tens behind, and the traffic was sc
| heavy that the kittens died of star
walton before she could get back tc
them. Only those who have seen the
Florida rush of the last few months
can fully appreciate that story.
! "The rush to Florida is unlike thai
( to Oklahoma, and the opening OF
| other lands, too, in that it is not sc
I precipitous. Trains and highways are
| full but they have been getting full
I er and fuller as the effects of the
I Florida advertising has gained mo-
mentum."

Loyalty Veteran
Worker Led to Expose
3. & M. Ticket Scandal

Portland, Maine, Jan. 28.-(AP)-
The loyalty of William J. Parsons OF
Reading, Mass, to the company
which had employed him for 80
years, was the main factor in uncov-
ering the so-called Boston and Maine
ticket scandal, it was shown today
when Parsons took the stand in the
superior court in the trial of Maui
rice E. Finn. of Boston, proprietor of
Firms Labor Agency, charged with
conspiracy to defraud.
Parsons, a ticket seller at the
North Station, Boston, told of Finn
coming to him in 1923 and inquiring
If he would exchange some Portland
tickets for strip slips good for cash
upon presentation at the main office.
He did So. Later, Finn came to his
ticket window, he testified. and pass
ed him certificate of 100 shares OF
stock in the Boston and Montana
Development Association.
This present aroused his suspicious
and he reported the case. From then
on, he aided in many ways in run
ming down the alleged ticket scandal
which resulted in the arrest of Finn
and a number of others, including
several railroad conductors.
