The laundrymen will not probably oppose the tendency of American young men to go in for white collar jobs. i If we get many more “days” and “weeks” to be observed in this country, our calendar will have to! be lengthened in some way. + The only complaint heard from the visiting P. 0. S. of A.’s was about their hands becoming sote from landing so many big beauties while on fishing trips here—and they were glad of that. '_ Why should Governor Martin wait to be peti- tioned to do his sworn and sacred duty in connec- tion with the lynching at Labelle where the woman later told her fiends that she had only become frightened at the negro’s presence, and that. he tad not attacked her, thus causing an innocent buman being to suffer and bringing reproach upon the name of the state? ae a4 ‘WOMEN, HOME AND POLITICS iz Mys. Ruth Bryan Owen, when in Key West re- cently fn the interest of her race for congress, home always comes first to her; that she going out of the home into politics, and is rested in politics as one in larger home keep- py “QBlibuld every woman in this country enlarge her ‘Hdihekeeping 80 as to include with the house- holdeduties the management of the affairs of the nation, it would ultimately result in putting men out jiness entirely. Would it not be more systematic and better fer woman to specialize in her sacred duty of keeping the home ig order, the home ties sacred, the family circle contented, happy and pure, and leav the men? they are thoroughly competent to’ do so in future. CRITICISM OF FOOTBALL Sharp differences of opinion as to the value of football as a college sport have developed, fol- lowing the report made by a committee of the | American Association of University Professors, which felt in spite of many merits of the game, as now conducted it threatens the morals and education. cause There are a great many professors and teach- ers who believe football is on the whole a whole- some influence in the college community, and the majority of high school teachers might be likely | that sizable portion of its debt out { to say the same thing about the sport as respects their schools. Youth demands an outlet. provide one into which the enthusiasm and activit now. Boys who are throwing every ounce of their energy into the football effort have none left for trouble making. e the ever disagreeable out-of-home work to | History will bear out the claim that | they have made good on the job in the past, and | | cal year ending June § of good | | over $30,000,000 more will be taken from the in If football did not | ADVERTISING FAKERS It is remarkably strange how business firms and professional people continue to fall for fake advertising schemes that come along at frequent intervals. The business people of Key West and every other community should be warned against investing their good money in questionable adver- tising propositions that are usually falsely colored, misrepresented, and rarely ever bring any substan- tial returns. schemes represent one class of leeches that should be banned by every community. Even local business men who never advertise | in their home newspaper, the publication that boosts the community day in and day out, and frequently at a loss, as is the case with The Citizen at this time, seem prone to fall for these spasmodic ven- tures, and get about as much service for their money as if they had taken just so much cash and thrown it away. These leeches do not grant their customers 30, 60 or 90 days in which to pay their accounts. They exact payment in advance and with the money in their pockets, they clear out to be seen no more. The business people get no returns for money | invested in these fake advertising schemes; they send money out of town that ought to be spent at | home; and they encourage these leeches in a ne- | farious line of rascality that is robbing the busi- | ness interests of the state of an immense amount of money every day of every year, It is indeed surprising how many advertisers, including public utilities, fall for these sucker ad- vertising schemes and ignore the local newspaper, | that has done more perhaps than any other agency in the interest of this community. When business people think of advertising, they should remember their home newspaper. It deserves and needs the patronage that is due it. No newspaper can successfully carry on without the whole-hearted cooperation and patronage of the business people of the town, and The Citizen is no exception to this rule. May not The Citizen kindly suggest that the local Chamber of Commerce appoint a committee or prepare in some way to protect the business peo- ple here from loss in questionable propositions? Business people would then not con- sider any transient advertising schemes that had not first received the approval of the Chamber of Commerce. This is being done almost every- where, and the plan is saving the people a whole lot of money. advertising FARM POWER LINE Oklahoma farmers are to have their first demonstration of rural electrification soon, as a result of a conference held at Pauls Valley re- cently, at which plans were made for the establish- ment of a transmission line to serve about fifteen farms as a beginning. At this conference E. F. McKay, manager of the Oklahoma Utilities Association and chairman of the general committee on the relation of elec- tricity to agriculture in Oklahoma, told of what has been accomplished in this direction in other states. O. A. Jennings of the Oklahoma Gas & Elec- tric Company told the farmers that if they would | haul the poles and dig the holes that the company | would furnish all material and skilled labor for the establishment of the experimental line, and | his proposition was ‘accepted. terprise said: “This will prove to be a most im- portant movement in farm life, not only for the ‘State. power service available on the farm, and thereby accomplishing more than is being accomplished by any other factor anywhere in making living con- ditions on the farm as desirable as those in cities and towns.” In view of the fact that similar enterprises are being established in practically one-half of the states of the Union, it appears that the day of elec- trical farming is beginning to dawn. It may revo lutionize this most important of our basic indu tries, and to a great extent relieve our farm popu lation, particularly farm women, from the body- | breaking drudgery which has been their lot in the past.
