MEMBERS OF WOMAN’S CLUB MUCH _ PLEASED WITH INTEREST SHOWN IN BETTER GARDENS CONTEST | > The Woman’s Club is very much | encouraged over its list of en- trants. Those who are par- ticipating in the contest for Bet- ter Gardens are serving the best) interests of their home « town) through an effort to beautify! their own home surroundings. | _The club has decided not to close the contest definitely at any | certain date, for the reason that| people desiring to enter in the} fall for the rest of the interval | will have an opportunity to im-} prove their grounds since that sea-| son is the planting season, and i | is possible to,.make a marked} transformation even in that brie length of time. The contest will officially commence the 10th of May however, and this long peviod| is allowed so that those who are} anxious to win prizes may have} ample opportunity to carry out any extensive plan of beautifica*| tion they may choose, and of| course, would have the advantage of individuals who delay to enter until later. that the committee be notified at} telephone 599 of any one’s desire to enter. An immediate inspection is made, and that person’s place is automatically registered on the list of competing gardens. This contest is inaugurated through the gefierosity of Colonel Thompson, who intends to make his home in Key West and who be- Hieves that the city could be made to appear much more attractive and appealing to outsiders through a campaign of this nature. It was With the idea of improvement in mind that he offered to donate the money for the prizes, and the members of the club feel that it is now up to the people of Key West to demonstrate their appreciation of his confidence in their civic pride by entering the contest. One more bush, one more blos- soming plant, is an improvement, a lawn can be begged from one’s neighbor, if necessary, in pro- curing a “start” of Bermuda grass, which clutches at every pebble and soon covers a bare space, converting it into a green- sward at once eye-commanding. Cuttings are swapped in Key West every day, it is stated, and if one doesn’t have a pretty yard here it is due primarily to lack of inter- est, for it costs very little to get the “makings” for a beginning, and an hour every day devoted to its care will bring one both health and wealth of blossoms. Everyone is requested to telephone 599, and enlist in the cause of civic provement. } | | im. | TODAY’S | ANNIVERSARIES 1776-—-American forces under] General John Thomas retired from the siege of Quebec, 1815 — Milledge L, Bonham, ‘Confederate commander and gov- ernor of South Carolina, born in Fadgefield county, 8.

The news story declared “the editorial calls attention to the t that a leading trade body in pa was recently compelled vote down a resolution which called for reprisals against pro- ducts from the Buckeye state.” “A boycott can be effected| without official sanction,” editorial said. “It is effective now because two Dayton plants have suffered severely from a phychological boycott and what! applies to Dayton will opérate against other cities of the state.”) The editorial asserted Governor | Donahey was just “a demogogue pre: the} lin the entire matter” as was “his} subordinate Locher.” | “Both have deliberately evaded the issue, which is not that of en-| forcing the blue sky law, but the! impropriety of Locher conducting | a state-wide propaganda after the incident should haye been clo | it continued, referring to state-} ments of Locher and the governor relative to the News’ attack upon!
