WEALTH IN AUTOGRAPHS.
De Luxe Editions Bring Modest
Fortunes to Authors.

PARIS, April 2 OP).-The growing
fad in France for limited and de luxe
editions of books has brought modest
wealth to some authors, who, never
theless. complain they viii have no
fame and will not be read. 1t has
brought also the problems of forgery
and autographs.
Autographs and manuscripts have
been so saleable that one author got
into trouble by copying the manu-.
script of his book, selling both. The
purchasers got together and the writer
had to take back one of the manu-.
scripts.

FARMING COLONY
OPENING new ERA
Experiment in Florida Crowd
ing 0Id-time Methods
to Rear.
px the Associa ated Press.

BY the Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla, April 2.-Farmer
John of a generation ago, after doing
up his chores, hung the lantern in the
smokehouse and contemplated the
prospect of going to bed
There was not much else TO 90.
Mother was nodding in her chair. Ihe
whirring of crickets, distant croaklng
of frogs, droned in through the open
window along with the damp evening
scent of sweet honeysuckle, ana the
lonesome bawiing of COW hoated up
from the hillside pasture. John was
lonely.
In this ridge section of central
Florida mans urge to soclaolllty Is
taken into account in the spreading
of the farm colony as means OF
drawing working population and
developing latent agricultural re-
sources. New amenities are added to
the farmers life. Whatever of loneli-
ness was left after the advent of good
roads, the automobile and the radio is
making it's last stand here among
the moss-hung pines and oak ham
mocks.
System Ably Promoted.
Chambers of commerce, State au-
thoritieS and the newspapers nave
thrown support to the colony plan. 1t
figures as a step toward the perma-
nent growth this fruit-growing and
gardening region seeks to establish.
Under the colony plan scores OF
or 10 acre poultry farms. orange ana
grapefruit groves or Winter gardens
are grouped around a community cen
ter from which radiate surfaced roads,
electric light wires and water mains.
There are dozen such undertakings
within q score of miles of Orlando,
the metropolis of the agricultural sec
ton OF the State.
The pioneer of the early day carved
his little farm out of the wilderness
very much alone. These colonists in
nieghborly groups pursue the same
purpose in a modern way under the
guidance of an agricultural expert,
which each colony provides.
Advantages Outlined.
When the subtropical moon comes
up above the silent lacey pines the
poultry farmer, the truck gardener,
the fruit grower need not kick off his
shoes and go to bed. He and his wife
can tuck the children in bed and step
down to the community center. gos-
sip at the filling station or the COM
munity store, or sit in the community
council house and absorb advice from
an expert on poultry, gardening or
citrus growing.
There is even a golf colony-three
1S-f1ole courses grouped about a com
munity center and clubhouse, with
residence lots fronting on the fair
ways.
The white stakes set up out in the
woods by the subdividers when the
boom was at its height are being
pulled up. In their stead lines of
farm fencing are going in. The elo-
quent appeals Of the realtor that once
sounded through the silent forest are
giving place to the thud of ak and
grubbing hoe. The smoke of burning
stumps is seen in the land where once
half-starved woods cattle and hump
backed long-ss1outed half-wild hogs
roamed in full possession of vast
tracts of cute acres

CONSIDER SCHEME
OF COORDINATION
Plan for Metropolitan Area
with One Head Offered to
Methodist Group.

BALTIMORE, April 9.-Advisabil-
ity of a single area in which metro
politan churches would be co-ordinated
under one superintendent will be con-
sidered by a special committee of the
Baltimore Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. The suggestion in
a general way was made by Rev. DIR.
e. L. Watson.
The committee will consist of Bishop
William F. Mcdowell of Washington
ex.off1cio; the three district superin-
tendents in Baltimore, and five pas
tors to be appointed by the district
superintendent.
Within the conference are five SUI
perintendents, one of whom super
vises the work of the Washington dis
trict, and one the work of the Fred
erick district. The three others super
wise the rest of the conference, divid-
ing the field into what is known as
the Baltimore, West Baltimore and
East Baltimore districts.
In each of these three areas are
city, suburban and country churches.
Under the proposed plan the city
churches would be withdrawn to Gre
ate a metropolitan area. The term
"city church" would have to be de-
fined.
It is said that such a policy would
assist in developing coordination and
a plan of strategy for the city
churches that would be impossible
under the present division of the city.
