The fact that a boy’s family can’t govern him does not prove that his wife won’t be able to a little later. The principal trouble on the roads nowadays is that the peoplé are stepping on the gas when they ought to be stepping on the brakes. After everyone has been provided with a pen- sion or subsidy, and after all taxes have been re- duped, then Congress can go home with a clear conscience. Cuba is trying to solve the sugar problem by telling mill owners just how much sugar they may preduce and fining them $5 a bag if they exceed the limit. This is a new method of dealing with the -production problem and it seems to be one that will hit producers and consumers both. It will be interesting to watch how it works.—Miami Herald.

The Apprentices’ Library was here for a time, the Franklin Insti- tute found shelter within these walls and the So- ciety of Friends conducted religious worship.

BENEFITS OF ADVERTISING Some critics claim that advertising is not benefigial to the country, it being claimed that many articles.of no special merit are made popu- | lar by! the expenditure of liberal amounts for ad- vertising, also that such publicity leads people to THE KEY WEST CITIZEN IN HONOR OF DOCTOR PORTER | He’s (Tampa Telegraph) Any city or state that subordinates sentiment descends into a “Slough of Despond.” Florida stands among the jewels of commonwealths because eevesve it has always evidenced appreciation of its builders | and illustrious citizens and Americans. Sentiment memorializes the worthy distinguished s f vices of both the living and the dead. In Tampa for ilius tration we have educational institutions named in honor of great leaders, and streets and avenues named for many who have proved of much con- structive value. Throughout the state we have counties nam in honor of Presidents as shown by Washin, Jefferson, Monroe, Madison and Polk, while Gov ernors have been complimented in the naming of Broward, Duval, Gilchrist, Hardee, Martin and Du- | val counties, while other counties bear the names | of Flagler, Putnam, Paseo, Levy, Holmes, Hendry, Collier and others, with many towns and citie Florida has a long list of doers whom it has honored—and a greater list of those who are equal ly entitled to distinguished recognition.

Fleming | then Governor of Florida to call a special session | of the Legislature to create a State Board of Health to be directed by Doctor Porter, who laid the health foundation of Florida’s future. At a recent meeting of the Florida Anti-Mos- | quito ‘Association it was proposed to establish two | chairs or professorships of Preventive Medicine and | Sanitation at the University of Florida and the | State College for Women in commemoration of the long, faithful, loyal service to the State of Florida | of Dr. Joseph Y. Porter of Key West. It was sug- gested that each chair be designated as the Colonel | Joseph Yates Porter chair of Preventive Med and Sanitation. It was pointed out by George W.

Yet even if these complaints are true in cer- tain instances, it is also true that modern progress in home and personal comfort and welfare could never have been achieved if it had not been for advertising.
