Charles E. Schaff, who is about to
retire from the presidency of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad,
has had more than half century of
practical experience in the field of
transportation, and is generally recog-
nized as one of the ablest operating
men among American railroad execu-
tives. Mr.. Schaff, like so many men
of his calling and high status in the
contemporary railway world, began
at the bottom of the ladder and
climbed step by step to the top. He
was born in Licking County, Ohio,
10 wears ago, and after a common
school education began his career as
railway clerk. He held various
positions until 1898, when ne be-
came assistant to the president of the
New York Central. In 1895 he be-
came general manager of that sys-
tenn, and in 1906 was made vice.
president. After six years in this
position he transferred to the NJ.
K. & T. railway, which he has served
ever since as president or receiver.

EXPANSION OF
ROAD SYSTEM
ADDITIONAL HIGHWAYS ARE
NOW UNDER CON-
sTRUcTIoN
tny Assoelntca rresal

APALACHICOLA, Fla, Aug. 4.
With the extensions of. the Bee
Line Highway to the Gulf of Mex
leo, together with the Inclusion
Of Apalachicola on the Wilson Me-
mortal Highway, the Gulf Coastal
Scenic Highway and the Port st.
Joe Highway, along with other
trunk lines and minor highways
which are in view, this section of
Florida will occupy an important
place in the road system of the
country.
Although the southern extern
sion Of the Bee Line Highway,
which cCLkecrs the Great Lakes
with he GcIf, has been open a
comparatively short time there
has been a noticeable increase in
the volume Of traffic flowing
through this section. The road
has been completed into Port st.
Joe and work has now progressed
SIX cen miles toward Apalachicola.
Bonds have been sold by Franklin
county to care for the remainder
OF the road on into this city and
work is expected to start imme-
diately. This highway opens up
vast territory of undeveloped
lands of almost unlimited agricul-
tural possibilities, and gives con-
nection between the inland coun-
try and the resort region of the
Gulf coast.
Beginning at Chicago the Bee
Line takes route through Terre
Hau.e and Evansville, Ind,
through Kentucky to Nashville,
thence to Birmingham, Montgom-
cry and Dothan. It crosses the
Old Spanish Trail at Mariana,
Fla, and drops southwark to
Rlountstown, the Dead Lakes Re-
g.on, Waxahitchka and Port St.
Joe, on the Gulf. Al beach drive
Of 18 or 90 miles along st. Jos
oph's Lay will be afforded when
the road Is completed.

the mosquito nuisance under con-

FOR REMOVAL OF

ALL LOCAL REALTY BOARDS

OPERATE IN MOVEMENT IN
AUcURATED


ORLANDO, Fla, Aug. All
local realty boards in Florida
were asked to Immediately begin
q campaign to remove torn, tat
tered, and tottering dead" real
estate signs from the landscape in
their communities in a message
sent to their officers by the Beau
tification Committee Of the Flor
ida Association Of Real Estate
Boards today. Frank w. Crisp,
Of Davenport, is chairman of the
committee which recently decided
10 undertake statewide move
ment to have owners remove all
visible evidences of the specula-
tive period, we're projects have
been prac tica ly aban-
doned. The in t n t i n is
TO have the work well toward
completion by the beginning of the
winter tourist season which assoc
citation officials predict will at
tract more people to Florida than
ever before.
Tawdry signs, pennants, rotting
entrance arches from which the
paint and stucco is falling, old
auction banners and dilapidated
street intersection posts with.
pullman car names in lonesome
locations are all doomed, the COM
nnittee says.
"We cannot hope to make a
good impression upon our winter
visitors, particularly with those
who have chip on their shoulders,
until we clean up our landscape"
DIR. Crisp said in the message.
This is the period of stabiliza-
ton in Florida. Our days Of wild
real estate speculation are over.
The 1926 tourist crop will be
composed Of ladies and gentlemen
who will not be inclined to believe
the flamboyant signs suggesting
thousand per cent profit in sixty
days. Also, they will be inclined
TO take peep back of the impos-
ing entrance arch to see what the
promoter has done to develop his
high-sounding proposition. No
one is inclined to purchase real
estate in a community surround
ed by the mute and neglected evil
dence of some fellows vain hopes
for sudden wealth through the
speculative appeal
The message suggested the APP
pointment of committees, the
dividing up Of the territory to be
covered and immediate commence
ment of the movement because
Of its Importance.

common sense job and believe you
are entitled to the cooperation Of
