The speaker was Edward Flungcr ford the advertising expert. "Griggs nnd Mlggs," he went on, "were kidnaped by bandits and shut up In a cave. "They'll take every cent we'vo got on us, moaned Mlggs. "Every blessed cent.' "They will, ehr said Griggs, thoughtfully. " They silre will.' "Griggs peeled a ten-spot from his roll.

Pon't let nnyhody fool hjmself with the Idva that ho can grow 'oranges nnywhero In I'lorldn, writes. John A. Sicklier In Leslie's Weekly. Tho or ange needs will adapted to It. It thrives Ix'st not In tho white wind you see under the pine?, but In n yellow loam. Tho plnra nro cut or burned and the palmetto cleared nwny. Then tho land Is plowed and harrowed at n cost of about $25 per ncro for clearing with colored labor at 18 cents an hour. Then tlve-yenr-olil budded ntock Is planted. It comes from tho nuraerleH carefully boxed nnd packed and looks like n snwedoff younu treo about two or three Inches In diameter. The acreage Is first carefully plotted out In regular rows, with stakes 25 feet apart. A hole Is dug and tho orange tro Is carefully laid In, at 0 depth of two or three feet. A basin Is left about the treo Into which a quantity of water Is poured and then the soil is heaped up to the level, or higher, as circum stances may require. These younjr or ango trcei cost from 75 cents to $2 ench at tho nursery, and will begin to bear In four or flvo years, If they ur- T. . - I A - t vivo wie rrosi, injects nnu Kupiiern r land turtles haf 'ijjirppw around the roots.

It vas said, received oyer $0,000 for. h'ia crops this year. 4p )an Lake nighland Country club, Mr, nallatn told roe he planted fjja orange grovea in S3 rpws of 22 tfecs, or 484 to a ten-a'crp nipt, using Jwoycar-old bud ded ttpes' that Cflsf 7ft centa each. Ho calculated pjoflFlpiC the land and setting trees cqst from $23 to $35 aft'ncrfl each, caro n4 pultlvatlon $2 per acrp per motfi, fertUlicr for a ten-acre plot $CQ tjip first year, $80 the second, $Hfl the third, and $140 the fourth. Ho figured that the fourth year tho growers might expect to har vest an average of twp boxes of fruit per tree, with an Increase of one box n year thereafter, pulls and drop ped, '' fruit, fqpmerly thrown away, now pnd a market, tho pulp be ing used for fnartjmlado and fljo Juipe for bottling. I noticed qflvertlsctncnts Jn local papers offering 50 cents pep 00 pounds for sound "drop and cull grapefruit." Signs In tho packjpg houses notify growers that "every doubtful orango Is a cull." Tho orango treo Is remarkable. Tho visitor Is astonished to And blossoms on ono branch of an orango troo nnd fully ripened fruit on another. Nft turo Is a wonder worker. Sho makes no mistakes. Sho can neither bo fooled nor bribed. A grower tells mo that an orango treo blossoms In February and In June. If In Febru ary tiio developed fruit shows less than the averago yield, tho tree puts forth additional blossoms In Juno and this counterbalances tho loss, but if tho fruit Is fully up to tho averago no blossoms appear In June. There Is no moro beautiful sight .than a fine orango grovo bearing fruit and blos soms concurrently. Tho appeal of tho golden fruit Is to tho palate, of tho snowy blossoms to tho eye, nnd tho fragrance to the senso of smell. One can well Imagine an endless bridal procession amid a grovo of or ango blossoms with tuneful mocking birds forestalling tho wedding march, Navel Orange a Freak. An piUtigo navel is merely nn ab normal growth, ah abortive attempt of nature to produce twins. Ono of tho twins fulled, however, surviving only as n protuberanco in tho blossom end of thu orange, and thcro forming n Uttlo nnvol-llko kernel enveloped in the skin of the fruit, puds from the trees producing these freaks wcro grafted on the other stock, nnd grad ually the semi-dwarf navel-orangd treo was established In California. .Tho original trees of this stock came from IJahla, Brazil, wherd their peculiarity had been noted but hot utilized. No one had taken the hint supplied by fanturo.uhtlJJhoyjwcriLtrajisniantd to (Jielr now homo on t; l'nclflc coast, where they became ono of tho most proline urnwthN of tljo sluto.

GUNMAKINQ 'GREAT SCIENCE Manufacturer Mutt Not Exceed Vrla uen oi i wo unc-1 nouianaim oi Inch In slx-Foot Bore. Gunmnklng Is a ticklish business not dangerous, but just ticklish, writes Edward Hungerford In Col. llcr's Weekly. It'a mighty exact. A gun manufacturer must not exceed a variation of two one-thousandths of nn Inch In a six-foot bore. Not every man who walks Into n chop, bX over alls under his arm, and announce him self as an expert mechanic, can build euns to as dcllcato measurements at thnt 11 And a complicated busncsi, too. A single disappearing gun, $f a standard typo adopted by our 'array, has, with Its disappearing CArrlojo'))jty'pxclulve of Its sights and ace,v,qrijr, almost eight thousand bnrtn. A three-Inch gun battery requires 3,871) t,oo)s, acces sories and supplies which ara simply imrt oi iui jjjnnunr.il oumr. Ann yet our government stands In cr.cat need of thousands of these gunend their accessories. An arjpy oftlcer made these things clear to a chamber of commprce man of Itochcster. ..And the ctjnrobcr or commerce called a cgnferpnflj pt sev eral dpzpn of the leading manufactur ers of npchcater. to them the jaan In khak mado the problem p)cur. He said that the program for heavy guns M fho army until July. jijjO, would run ip a cost of 2.0W,0flO)pft per haps pvon more. lie translated these figures Into those, of alio. Up said that w(tbln thnt time thcro would bo needed at- least 03,000,000 (pan of new partr for these guns In addition fl 4jOQO,000 tons of replacement parts. Let mo translato these flgures still furtllef for you. Thero orp 03,000 tM road locomotives n this country. Let us nssumo their average weight to be 200 tons each It Is n very fair esti mate. That means thnt tho railroad locomotives together weigh some l.V 000,000 tons or just onc-nfth tho cast ings required for tho now parts alone of our heavy ordnance for thu next 18 months of tho war. Wo have embark ed upon no piflllng enterprise J Soldiers Get Reading Habit. Tho growth of tho reading hnblt among the soldiers has brought to light on Interesting contradiction to tho gen ernlly accepted theory that among u group of Individuals tho leveling proc ess Is a leveling downward. Tho men In the camps who aro read ers stimulate by their example tho In terest of thoso who nro not. "Ilavo you read this story?" asks Prlvato X of Prlvato Y. "Naw," replies Prlvalo Y; "I novcr read a book through Jn mo life." "Well, y'oughtn rend this one. It's d better'n any movlo show y'ever saw, ,It'fl a bear I" Thus docs Prlvato Y get an Inccntlvo to tasto the Joys of literature Thcro is n ten dency toward a leveling upward, Tho valuable service of tho libraries Is further developed by lectures, unl vorslty extension courses', ilnd the gen eral educatlb'fi plan. Men not only will keep1 pneo with their former civilian activities, but many of them will emergo from tho army and navy bet ter equipped for tho battld of life. Raymond D.
