FLORIDA RECOVERY POINTS WAY

The nations leaders who begin the
day by scanning carefully every news dis
patch about recovery didn't miss the mes
sage waited north from Miami, Florida,
where Congressman James M. Mead of
New York told national labor spokesman
that Florida's formula for solving its own
problems might well be used in curing the
economic ills of the other AZ states.
Congressman Mead challenged Amer
lea ito contribute plan which will insure
the right of economic security for every
man. and took Florida's two-year pro-
gram of planned recovery as an example.
"Florida has given the other AZ states
a great lesson in cooperation, organization,
and interdependence,' he told the visiting
labor officials.
ut has solved problems demo-
cratically with everyone working to-
gether. This is the only way we can pro-
gress with one section of the United States
dependent upon another. and / can see in
the solution of problems here the solution
of major problems confronting other states
and the world at large"
The tangible evidences of Florida's
marked upswing were paraded in Miami
for the labor leaders and industrialists
who participated in the proceedings of
what was known as the Doherty Recovery
Institute. The Institute was the major
feature of statewide celebration COM
memorating Florida's return to prosperity
and honoring Colonel Henry L. Doherty of
New York for his leadership in bringing
the state out of the woods for the first time
in eight years, through an organized plan
for promotion of the tourist trade.
Spokesman from eight international
unions affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor who left Washington on
this exploratory pilgrimage were told that
Floridas building construction was up an
average of 1872 per cent in six leading cities
of the state, bank clearings had gained an
average of 35.4 per cent real estate values
were mounting, and that all other baro-
meters of business were soaring accord
ingly.
Now the good news is getting around
and leaders in other states and cities aren't
merely day-dreaming about golf and fish
ing when they get to musing about Florida

GOODS NOT ORDERED

For several years numerous iIl-
dividuals and firms have greatly annoyed
citizens throughout the country by sending
them articles of merchandise, which had
not been ordered, by mail, ION approval. >
Recipients of these unsolicited pack
ages of merchandise, usually hosiery,
neckties and other articles of no great
value, have apparently accepted the stuff
and paid for it in large percentage of
cases, thus encouraging the spread of the
practice
Senders of these goods have attempted
to secure payment from unwilling Gus
toners by means of tracers sent through
regular postal channels, thus apparently
making the Post Office Department party
to the scheme This has been resented by
the Department, which now proposes legis-
lation making these annoying practices an
offense against the postal laws, measure
which will doubtless meet with general ap-
prevail on the part of the public.
Until this nuisance shall be carbed
by official action, intended victims might
adopt measures of their own similar to that
employed by certain physician, who re-
ceived So package of socks which had
not been ordered.
Instead of sending the money, he
wrote letter enclosing prescription
which he assured the sender of the mer-
ehandise to be worth 50. and asked that
the account be balanced accordingly. The
mail order man evidently possessed sense
of humor-at any rate he accepted the pre-
seription and let 1t go at that.

One of his first charges as a second
lieutenant. was the care Of the horse,
Comanche, sole survivor Of the Gus
ter battle, which was brought down
the river on the Far West along with
the wounded survivors OF the Little
Big Horn fight. The horse was
stabbed in John W. Millett's livery
stable. located at Third St., and
Broadway Ave-, and Scott was as
signed the duty Of seeing it was well
cared for. He did much OF the work
himself, assisted by Gustave Korn

in the Custer fight.
It was while here, Falconer re-
called, that the young lieutenant was
married to daughter of Col. Merrill
who was for short time in command
OF the Seventh Cavalry at Fort Abra-

for which there was virtually no mar
ket when the loan was made over q
year ago, he said.
Due to the success Of the bank in
making collections. the refinancing of
mortgages through the federal land
bank and by reason Of laws passed by
the last legislative session which pro-
vtded more money for the real estate
bond and interest funds, thereby rails
ing the price Of most issues Of North
Dakota bonds to par and IN some
cases to a premium. the bank was en-
abled to retire the loan.
The loan was made to release cash
which the bank has invested in North
Dakota bonds and real estate loans.
When the loan was made North Da-
kota bonds were selling at from SO to
IS per cent OF their par value, Stang
Ter said.
Calling attention to the recent
statement issued by the institution,
Stangler said the bank has now over
$l3 100000 in cash and government
treasury bonds in addition to over
Sc .0OO, 900 In bonds Of the State of
North Dakota which now have q
ready market. The bank has not
made any new real estate loans since
January /, 1882, he said.
