After Webster’s father left the birthplace, the house was moved across the road and attached to the two-story farm house as an L. Some 100 years ago the cellar under the birth- place was filled in and its location forgotten. On Oct. 2, 1910, at a meeting in the office of Chief Jus- tice Frank N. Parsons of the New Hampshire Supreme Court in this city, the Webster Birthplace Associ- ation was organized. All doubt as to the exact spot was removed in October, 1912, by uncovering the old cellar and finding that part of the preserved building exactly fitted the foundation. The original building was placed upon this old cellar and the exterior and interior restored to the condition in which they were 131 years ago.

The constantly in- creasing number of manufacturing plants place a large volume of money in circulation.

BEGIN THE DAY WITH FLORIDA GRAPEFRUIT “Florida is the American home of the grapefruit,” says the St. Cloud Tribune. “It grows to its fullest perfection only in this State. | becoming the favorite breakfast ap. petizer of the nation.” tells, as is well known, that grape- fruit was little known a few years ago and that the demand is far ahead of the supply. “Samples of grapefruit have been brouzht to St. Cloud from neighboring towns that measured fifteen to seventeen inches around, large enough for twenty- six to fill a box.” The Tribune does not give grapefruit its full due, for besides being the most delicious of all breakfast fruits 1t is one of the most healthful and the testimony of;er the matter and consult further thousands is to the effect that a day begun with half of a Florida I:rapefrult will very rarely be one 'upon which the doctor need be called. The general use of grape- fruit means better digestion and healthier, heartier people.—Times- | Union. WEATHER MAN PUNISEED FOR POLITICAL ACTIVITY (By Assoclate Press.) | | The Tribune ' !

It is as fol- lows: “l have just spent a week in Lake- land, which is fast approaching Gainesville as the prettiest inland city in the State, and unless Gaines- ville's civic association wakes up, she may pass Gainesville in the race.

They also insinuate that there are ulterior motives behind the niovement . Certain liberal and conservative pan-Germannewspapers are now strongly inclined to create the impression in Germany that American capitalists are trying to cmbroil the two countries for the sole purpose of annexing Mexico. It is recognized that German interests in Mexico amount to many millions of dollars and that the restoration ol order in that country wouid be of great benefit to German as well w8 other interests, but the old fear and suspicion prevail in commercial cir- cles that if order is forcibly re- stored by the United States through intervention American mmmcn-in[ interests will have an advantage over other countries. For this reas- on it is deduced from newspapers that Germany would prefer to take chances with the Mexicans. | MAXES HIS FIRST STAND IN LAKELAND In the thickliest clties livom Fampa to Chicago, real impres- !sions will be disseminated concern= [ Florida when Scott Leslic starts om the road next week with booster filmg under the caption of “Through Tropical Florida.” e will begin by playing a local theater today and tomorrow and by visiting St. Pe- tersburg the last of the week.
