Swhat does it matter if such a helpless animal is Gabused and tortured to make sport for a gang of Dhoughtiess boys? Who cares? “£ One small boy cared—and because he cared pe made a friend—a friend who didn’t forget. Some years ago a kindly man named Jacob Ssiter walked along the bank of the Mississippi river amear St. Louis and came upon a group of boys who ‘rere amusing themselves by throwing a stray pup “dnto the river time after time, in spite of the pro- “gests of one small companion. Finally the pup’s “gefender engaged the others in fistic combat to Wave the wretched animal from drowning. He phattled so courageously that he won the day and ewaved the pup. o Mr. Siler commended the boy, whose name “pens Otto Schmidt, and between the two a lifelong “}riendship sprang up. Reeently Siler died and left “$7,500 to the boy, now a man, whose humane in- SStincts and courage had rescued the poor dog and fron the admiration of the casual passerby, i Those who befriend unfortunate animals do «pot always obtain material rewards such as came Ate Otto Schmidt, but they inevitably have the re- Sard of an approving conscience, which is greater 4 SUGGESTION FOR Mosquito SonTRoL. ; ph here Mosquito e eradication is being ‘widely discussed in Key West and throughout the state. But mere aecussion has never been known to slay even one thosaiiite. Decision ané action should follow dis- eyssion, To abate the mosquito nuisance on the main- land. of Florida would be a tremendous problem, difticilt of solution and extremely expensive. But to contfol the mosquito situation in Key West alone would be a simple matter, easy of accomplishment and at slight expense. The’ mostjuito cannot germinate in salt water. There are no bodies of fresh water, large or small, on ‘or neégr'the Island of Key West. €onsequently the only breeding places for the mosquito here are the insufficiently screened cisterns, old bottles, tin @ans and. other receptacles that hold rain water, 4pd accumulations of leaves and trash that retain the moisture produced by rains. Supporting these elgims-is the fact that during long spells of dry ather in Key West the mosquito almost disap- peers; then eight days after a rain they are very evident... as The thing to do is to see to,it.that all cis- terns ate properly and sufficiently screened, all aa: bottles and tin cans. destroyed, and the hun- of heaps of rubbish removed from the back in this city. One plan by which this could ‘be pecsnipliahied in a few days, with very little effort and-at.prac- tically no: expense to the city, would be to let these local : civie organizations that ‘guard: so well flip interests of Key West, appoint a sufficient fipmber of their members on a committee to com- ly cover this city, street by street, and inspect @ cisterns and yards, ineluding unoccupied prop- hy and yacant lots, and report their findings to eity council, It might take one or two em- o of the city a long time to. do this work, but with: 4 sufficiently large committee the task can ly. be accomplished in a May or so, It is al- sure that the city would welcome this valuable a from its patriotic citizens, and -would Seen choperate in the movement. «There have been in’ time past: a number of driyes 4nd eampaigns put over in Key West in prac- tipally, this same way, and no other movement has been as highly important to the health and welfare of thé city as is this one—for the, control of the ‘mosquito situation. With this voluntary survey. carefully, and fully completed, the reports coyld ithe; he fayned over to the § proper city officials, with the understanding that. every; unfavorable report ‘{é) tobe carefully looked afté?, and ix a remarkably short time every place ih the entire city where the ‘mosquito could possibly germinate, will have been completely eli- , atid Key West will be free of flosquitoes fond this ‘condition is maintained. ° People who lave made a closé! study of ‘phi! dreaded afd detested pest, the mosquito, claim that it ‘never strays far from its immediate point of germination, It is also a well known fact that the Avorkgs lite of the mosquito is very brief; so if High yinds at! times should blow. clouds of them Btock isiand'to Key West, as is claimed by triahy: Weal people, they would soon disappear be- caiise of the absence of breeding places. Here seems to be a real opportunity for some | live local civic organization, or any. number -of them combined, to render a patriotic and invalu- Able’ servive to their home city, and just at a time when it is most urgently needed! BURBANK, PLANT WIZARD Maintaining his belief that death ends all, so fat as the individual is concerned, Luther Burbank passed. peacefully away at his California home.at the age of 77. While the conclusions which he held respecting life and death are abhorrent to the orthodox, the whole world unites in paying homage to his. genius as a naturalist. A Born’ on a Massachusetts farm on March 7, 1849, he was from childhood a lover of nature and | As a young man | an eafnest student of plant life. he developed the Burbank potato, a dozen of which constituted his principal capital when he migrated | to California in 1875 to begin his epoch-making experiments in the production of new fruits, flowers, vegetables, grains, grasses and trees. Of his many thousands of new developments, | & few may be mentioned: Eliminating the, seeds | from various fruits, eliminating the shell enclosing the kernel of stone fruits, changes in form and | evlor of fruits, crossing of various fruits and flow- ers to produce entirely new varieties, developing a white blackberry, and other astounding feats of a similar nature, which it would take many pages to enumerate. ments was the production of a thornless cactus, which has a high economical value as a forage | *5 plant.
