XT T VA J Poor Brooklyn Policeman, JNOW Lon£ ueaa, Roturht Florida Acres Which are now Worth Two Million Dollars. Fortune Comes to Kelieve Struggling Widow's Family. ** * New York, January., 28. 1926.—This is a story of land. Summed up it again demonstrates what a wonderful country of op portunities is these United States, and what is possible in the fortunes of families within the short span of 35 years. Careful, thought and intelligent investment in land in this country ha* seldom failed to return a big profit. It is the history of almost every state and town. Men of vision and keen judgment are always advocating the investment of earnings in land, rather than in dubious ventures of commerce promoted by sharpers who hold out the ever-alluring bait of "pet-rich-quick," ' Written Specially for the News (By Robert Fuller) Thru Autocaster Service. About 35 years ago John I. Baird, now dead, but at that ti me a poor po liceman living in Brooklyn, N. Y. in •vested a part of his small savings in about 100 acres of land on the Indian HSYier near Melbourne, Florida. It «nipfat be he was rather doubtful of tbe investment in land which he had never seen, and which was so far away from his home. At any rate he did not mention the investment to mem bers of his family. Years passed and John Baird worked on, struggling to raise his family, two boys and a girl, giving them the best education possible with in his means. About fifteen years ago, John Baird (died. He left little. There was a small saving account—and some pa pers. The papers meant nothing to «be children. Edward Baird, one of tbe sons was having a struggle of hia own to care for a family of four. Xa ■ few years he died, too, and left almost as tittle as his father. Then the real struggle began, for tbe window, Helen Baird. She had a alight musical education, so she turned to teaching. Month after month «trough many years she managed to bold the little family of two boys and a girl together, "I can't say we ever have really known actual want," she said yester but it was a terrible struggle to keep our home going. Somehow, «am;, I managed to keep the children in school." And that was the situation of the Baird family a few months ago. There seemed to be no prospects of a sudden change in fortune. I • Down in Florida a real estate man started looking around for available trails, when land began to be worth acquiring. He found that a large pared of a tract desired by a syndi cate, stood in the name of John Ira ' Bail'd. The land was so much desired that tbe real estate man came to New York in search of John Baird. The 100 acres of land John Baird bought for a mere pittance is now •worth about $2,000,000. The real estate man frankly admitted it, and is a bidder for it when the John Ira N in Baird estate is legally put in shape Bra. Helen Baird now finds her children wealthy. Her husband's brother, the other son of old John f Baird, is stilt alive, but has not yet ; Jbeen located. It is thought he lives in Connecticut. In the meantime, Helen Baird has in gone into court asking for an order making her the executor of the estate g in her children's name. The daughter mf John Baird is now dead. The prop **«y wiU be divided between the four children of Heien; the living son; and Jkes children of the deceased daughter, Ihm««. Far Mrs. Baird and her children, Seien, Ira and Joseph, now respec tively 18, 16 and 13 years old, the future is bright They say; "We have made no foolish plans. We intend to be sane and act with potdence. By all means we will try first to get a good education. Beyond that —we shall pYer bless the day that grandfather Baird invested his small savings in Florida land."
