MAKES A FORTUNE 1(1 CITRUS TREES

Gucrney Maple, Former Earlham Student, Has Tripled His Capital.

A correspondent for the Indianapolis News, in a dispatch from Los Angeles, j

tells of the wonderful business success Guerney Maple, a former Earlham student and brother-in-law of Mrs. Ben Uartel, of this city, has made. The dispatch follows: An Indiana man who has become famous out in this country is Guerney

Maple, who was born and reared in j llushville. After he had taken an j agricultural course at Purdue, Maple came to California and settled about j twenty-five miles from Ixs Angeles, i With a few hundred dollars from the j $7,000 that he brought from Indiana, j Maplo bought an interest in a nursery, i Hie worked with the young trees for! nine months, making himself familiar! with the citrus fruit business, intend- j Ing to develop a citrus orchard.

Later, with some friends. Maple bought a flve-acre-tract of land, and with his own hands Maple cleared this patch and set out his citrus trees. In

Mils property he invested about $3,000, !

the greatest expense being to get his water supply. In eighteen months he - m . mr rjv 1.1

i isui nil oner 01 fo.ou'f mi iiib iiivrm- . Itncnt and he accepted the offer. Then

ihe bought 17 acres at $310 an acre. After he had built a home, paid for I his water and stock and set out his

'trees his total' investment, exclusive:

of his own labor, was $10,000. For two years he watched the young trees iftrow. His living expenses in that

i period amounted to $1,900. When he:

old out for $20,000 in the fall of 1910, this capital In four years had grown 'from $7,000 to $18,000. Then Maple went.' into real estate right. He bought thirty acres just outside the city limits and within a quarter of a mile of the Los Angeles car line. He paid $500 an acre, onethird cash with a mortgage of $10,000. It cost him $2,000 to install a water distributing system of concrete pipes. The trees made necessary an outlay of $2,600 additional and an automobile reduced his capital by another $1,500.

A year's growth of the citrus trees j

made the thirty acres wotrh $25,000. In the meantime he started a walnut seed bed transplanting and grafting the young plants early last spring. On

a portion of the orchard between the ; citrus runs forty thousand young wal-: nut trees are growing. When they j are ready for the market they will j have cost Maple about 20 cents' each.' If the market for walnut trees con-1 tinues strong, that nursery will pay all ! of Maple's living expenses, the interest j on the mortgage and the entire cost

of bringing the citrus orchard into j bearing. Consequently it may be esti- j

mated the $7,000 that Maple brought out here as the short of his Indiana estate, has grown into $25,000 and a motor car.

LIKE TU HAVE YOUR PICTURE IN THE PAPER?

People May Say They Don't but It's a Mistake. The Loss of Beauty Is a Tragedy, According to Madame Recamier and Jane Carlyle.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Why do people have their pictures in the papers? If you are the Grand Kahn of Tartary, or candidate on the prohibition

ticket, or King. George being crowned or Eva Tanguay or president of the Federated clubs or a minister who has playfully murdered a sweetheart or two or somebody cured by Peruna, it can be understood, but if you're merely fat and obscure why should you be published because you assisted at a tea. These reflections are called forth by the conning over of a Chicago paper of recent date in which appear three pictures in a row under the caption "Hostess and guests at tea." The hostess passes muster, being well enough, but the guests are inexplicable. They wear gowns of extreme decolletege, innocent smiles over parted teeth (which give a horrid impression of falsity) and overwhelming coiffures. The fattest one wore beads. The sort you dally with when talking to a man and want to be coquettish. Both guests were long past the landmark where dallying with beads has any other effect than merely dallying with beads. There would be no mad desire , it would bo opined, on tho part of the on looker to long to be tho bead that slid over her manicured finger. Evidently the "guests" had once been pretty. You eould tell it by the expression. Beauty is said to be fatal. True. And often in more ways than the accepted interpretation of this old saw. The hardest thing for a woman to give up is the idea of her beauty either real or alleged, whether dazzling or just mildly stimulating. Perhaps nothing is sadder than the fading of physical charm. The disappearance of the radiant color, of the pearl or ivory hued tints, of the lovely contours, of the satin-smooth skin, of the glinting hair, of the supple curves it is the one supreme tragedy. Art can be called in to supplement nature up to the edge of the precipice. And then there comes a day an awful day when art, too, is helpless to conceal the death of beauty, when the crepe is pulled off the door and you settle down to endure being lumped with all the rest teetering on the brink of oblivion. That famous great beauty, Madame Recamier, to whom the gods were lav

ish for they endowed her not only with beauty and charm but with wit and brilliance of mentality, said when the newsboys no longer turned to look at her on the streets she knew all was lost. The woman who knows how to slide gracefully over the line of cleavage is the one who will preserve an illusion of that which is gone over a more extended period than ohe who jumps off the edge and lands on the other side with a splash. It was Jane Carlyle wife of that sardonically humorous philosopher whose domestic difficulties were the gossip of their contemporaries and one of whose biographers so grossly distorted the real situation who emitted the canny observation that if a woman wanted to retain the interest of men she must be able to recognize the dawn of the day when their interest in her personality ceased and her opportunity to convert their former admiration or infatuation into a desire for her companionship based on her half-maternal attitude toward them. Notwithstanding the distorted facts of biographical history which makes Carlyle's wife a martyr to the whimsies and choler of her celebrated husband, it is the truth that Jane Carlyle was exceedingly fond of masculine admiration and did not hesitate to attach as many to her train as her peculiar environment allowed. On the other hand Carlyle himself long followed the primrose of dalliance after a certain Lady somebody or other, a beautiful and brilliant woman of whom his wife was jealous, although scorning the imputation. Mrs. Carlyle was herself a woman of much charm, vivacity and brilliant gifts and an amusing picture is drawn of her by herself at a certain houseparty which she and Carlyle attended, and of her appearance at the family devotions which all the guests attended. As is the custom in great English country-houses the servants all came in for prayers and among them were fifty ladies' maids, who were attached to the household and with the house's "visiting ladies" and this gauntlet Mrs. Carlyle had to run as she arrived late, to her embarassment since she had disposed of her "crinoline" and hoopless, with clinging skirts, was a conspicuous object. This, however, is by the way and no particular bearing on having your picture in the paper. The psychology of the desire to have

I your picture in the paper is, however,

interesting. And at times baffling. Why, in instance, do people from Podunkville who are merely going to get married want their pictures in various stages of vacuity in the state papers?

I auu u j mo . wiiir 11 a 11 nave au ! air of rural sophistication and high, j dome-like foreheads? This is invaria

bly and curiously the case with pictures which illustrate this particular phase of publicity dementia. And it is true, also, that the "grooms" all have the general appearance of having been rented from an orphan asylum. Never believe anybody when they

i tell you .they don't want their picture

in the paper. It's a fiction as transparent as it is harmless. And as ghastly and crocky as they know they wil come out of the camera cropper they will delightedly take the chance. Witness the facial caricatures of your friends and neighbors who attend the Federated clubs or the Exalted Order of something or other who, standing in groups, jump out at you when you unfold the morning dispenser of misinformation. The writer remembers a woman who was greatly grieved on account of the frequent appearance of the picture of the daughter of an intimate friend in what is sometimes called,strangely enough, "the public press" and in the magazines although this young woman had distinguished herself. The woman in question regarded it as "unmaidenly," "bold" and "lacking in refinement" to iave the reproductions of her "features" thus brazenly flaunt

ed and shook her head sadly over the low publicity of the thing. A few years after the young woman was amazed to see a wild and crocky picture of this good lady's own daughter in a metropolitan paper and, later, to receive a marked copy of the same sheet sent by the excellent dame herself, with a succeeding letter in which she call attention to this representation of a scion of her family and the high honor that had been conferred on the latter by a just recognition of her daughter's beauty, genius and gifts. So you can never tell. It is not well, however, to pin your faith to any statement that anybody may make about any course of action. You will be dumfounded to find, later,

that they have not only pursued the course they flatly denied ever intending to follow and for which they expressed scorn and abhorrence but had coraplftely switched over to the opposite end of the pole. And they will coolly refute your expostulatory remarks that they had said so and so. They will not only say they never said it but will accuse you of grossly and willfully mis-quoting them and of desiring to maliciously misrepresent them.

You look at them unable to believe your ears. And they gase blandly back at you without batting Thev may, indeed, be such 'victims of self-delusion that they really believe that they never did or said the thing they really did or say and then, again, they may be lying.
