A CHANCE TO MAKE MONET. Mr. A. H. Daves, of Southern Ala bama, writes: "As few people know of the wonderful opportunities here, my experience may benefit many. Ten years ago I came here without a dol lar, got some free land, cleared one acre and planted Satsuma oranges, which are frost-proof. In three years I began selling fruit; that one acre now makes me an annual profit of over $1000. I now have 60 acres of bearing Satsumas. My three and four-year-old trees yield a profit of $300 to 100 per acre, and my annual income is over $18,000 and growing larger every year." Any person can get from S to 25 acres of choice land in the Demon stration Plantation FREE, by having oranges or figs and pecans planted on it. For particulars about thia free land, address W. A.

To call this a novel of national politics gives no hint of the store of inside political information' which it contains. Presidential campaigns are like icebergs: five-sixths of them are out of sight. The hidden part is the interesting part. The Constitution lays down the visible program for President -making; but you will search it in vain for mention of secret meetings on Southern beaches, for instruction in squeezing campaign millions out of Big Business, or for piling up votes in November.
