Palm Beach proper was hit hard.
Many buildings were completely
down and a part OF Royal Palm ave-
nue. was under water.
The surrounding country suffered

tated. Lake Worth was severely hit

Jupiter, all small towns, also felt
the fury OF the elements.

a building in the city which escaped
damage. It's as bad III net worse
than what hit Miami.
Mr.. Baker attributed the small
loss Of life 70 people being prepared
for the storm.
Those who did not seek strong
shelter were ready to run for it IT
the first sign of danger" he said.
There was but little, IL any, moving
around during the luII between the
first storm and the back lash"

Henry Eorabaek of tConnecticuf, Simeon F'ess Of Ohio and sundIy various other gentlemen os similar cast of thought are go- ing to circumycnt the almost uni- versai demand in the Republican party for Herbert Hoover as the candidate.

 l The picayune railroad thus at- tracting attention to itself was the New York & Harlem. To buy the remaining shares the Central would have to pay above $6o,000.
 If the stock went lip 1sc points in one day the value of the Centrals holdings went up much beyond that. so that if 1t paid even sl,50o share it would be like paying nothing for l! it-on paper.
 The cost of the minority shares would be more than balanced by the increase i'll paper profits Of the shares already held by the Central.
