MERELY "OLD MAN JONES"] Ordinary Citlxtn, But He Drtw Some thing of a Eulogy Prom California Nowtpjpor Writor. Maybe you didn't know Old Man Jones. (lo was a printer, and lit? died last week, aud there was a piece about him In the paper. The piece was four lines long und It was On the thirty sixth poge of the paper In the |w?t right-hand corner uuder an advertise ment ahout soap or something. Maybe you didn't see the piece la the paper. No? Well, It la no wonder. There Is so much In the papers, and old JoneM didn't amount to anything, anyway. At least, he wan of no Im portance. You could not expect the paper to jjtve him any more room when he died. That same day there \\as a big scandal in high society, there wa? a revolution In Germany, seven people were caught drinking liquor, ? movie "vamp" sahl her diamonds were stolen, and a lot o^* other very Important things happened. Old Jones was lucky to get even those four lines In the la&t hidden corner of the last page. And. beside* all that, we are very sure that old Jones didn't and wouldn't give a whoop If the paper never even mentioned that he was dead. He had left the country and was In another country far more to his liking. He was with Socrates and Homer and the old gods and fight ins men that he knew and loved In creasy books that he found In cheap ^oond-hand stores and garbnge car." where they had been placarded Many a sunny hour havd we spent with old Jones, learning from' him things we never knew before. For 60 years he had read books that opened up Paradise to him. His life was spent happily. Death meant to him merely another Journey which, at the last, he was eager to take. He was very wise and. always very kind, and usually poor. I Now, he Is with 10,000 yesterdays and as quickly forgotten as though he had been a king or a millionaire. Good-by, old Jones.

The old sugar mllf at New Smyrna, Fla., about 12 miles flawn the coast | from Daytona, stands amid moss hung trees, as a picturesque and legend haunted relic of the Ill-fated colonizing enterprise that In 1769 brought 1,500 MInorcans, Greeks and Italians to that region, and for a few brief years thereafter transformed seven miles of vine tangled swamp land, along the coast Into orderly little plantations where grew Indian corn, cotton, rice, Indigo plants and sugar cane. And It was probably for the crushing of this can^, a plant no longer grown In the vicinity, that the colonists built the old mill. The walls and -machinery beds they made of coqulna,,, a soft, whitish stone formed of broken shells ; and corals, cemented together by na ture. The Iron crushing machinery It self probably erected at a latex pftrlod to replace the colonists' cruder appa ratus, Is nevertheless remarkable for Its century long resistance to the fierce corrosion- of the tropic damp, which quickly consumes unpalnted ironwork. Keeping Heroism In Check. Five-year-old Harry was almost sure that his mother would not give him a spanking for It now, for the Ice had Ipng ago disappeared, so he said to his mother: "Did you know that my brother Jim Is a hero?" ' ? "How's that?" asked his mother. Jim, who Is seven, spoke up:- "Oh, It was nothing much, mother," and his chest swelled with Pride. "We ran off and went skating one day last winter. Harry he gets out on some thin Ice and Is afraid to move, for he was sure that the Ice was going to break. I just skated out to him, picks him up in my arms and skates to the bank with him."

I am glad that you have established an agency near us, as 1 fdel sure we will ~u*e more of these tractors. I have been using tractors for the past eight years and frankly say that the Cletrac if far ahead of any thing that I have seen. I am sure no wheel tractor can- compete with them. We have used our for every purpose that a tractor could be. put to and they hav? never failed us. Have pulled logs out of swamps wrhere mules could not walk, plowed and harrowed land so san,dy that wheel tractors would bury themselves. When you are passing drop by and see what we are doing.
