The purpose of baby bonds and coupons is to relieve the depres- sion under which, not only Key West, but all the country, north, south, east and west is struggling and suffering, . x It is the published opinion of such authorities as Professor Irv- ing Fisher, economist of Yale, and by other economic writers of note, that only by increasing the cir- culation. by some medium of ex- change in addition to present cur- rency, can relief be had from the present almost intolerable situa- tion. A. self-liquidating script has been tried in Iowa, and. it was a great help, medium of distribution was through the salaries of city em- ployees, the payment for goods purchased by the city for muni- cipal supplies, and building of some roads and repairs of others. In. fact for city expenses, debts and emergency employment. only, a very limited distribution, when as a matter of fact, all the peo- ple need help, not part of them, There are many real objections to the script idea, in addition to the limited scope of distribution described. There is the possibility that the merchants and citizens will not cooperate. While back of baby bonds and coupons, is the credit of the city, county or school board, backed by the pledge of the merchants and citizens that they will accept baby bond coupons, and: pass them on, pay- ing in so doing, a voluntary sales tax collected automatically in spending the coupon. {The coupons being issued © in one dollar and in fifty cent units, ‘the making of change is sifple and at no time requires any con- siderable outlay of cash. And the whole people take part in paying the small tax, not the merchant alone. With the use of baby bonds, the entire publie debt, city, county and school can be paid in full and soon, and the relief at once ‘is bound to, be great. 2 A Merchants and Citizens As- sociation organized in Key West, with a board of directors of Mon- roe county citizens, with a bonded trustee to manage the business in cooperation with the board of directors, can: 1st. Take up county war- rants at par. 2nd. Take up city war- rants at par. , 8rd. Take up school war- rants at par. 4th. Can distribute funds in any safe way, such as. householders note for im- provement of property, small personal loans, where prop- erly secured, and too small to interest banks. 5th, In any safe and sane manner that meets the ap- proval of the board of direc- toys and the — manager- trustee, And, while the money buying the redemption certificate _ stamp used to make the coupon self- liquidating, is out of circulation for, a short time, just as soon as fully stamped the coupons will be paid at par at the office of the Merchants and Citizens Associa- tion by the manager-trustee, thus putting the money back in cir- culation. Baby bonds with self-liquidating coupons are absolutely new, and the idea of having self-liquidating coupons is original and never be- fore used in the manner proposed. The good effect of an increased medium of exchange is too wei known to need comment here. The children met on] ws; And the fact that the coupons do the lawn of the church* where M Sonar al aan Haske fs their duty and are. then retired automobiles were in readiness to take them to the beach, + This was in the nature of a patriotic party with refreshments in national colors. Individual cakes: each held a flag, and patriotic songs were sung. About 35 children enjoyed the enter! tainment. Luncheon For Mrs. Muldrow Mrs. W. J.

It has been suggested by some | although the only| SOCIETY :-:| People’s Forum bed eecccccece possession to represent the past year or more of service. - Another reason, no two cities, counties, or school boards present the same problem exactly, and to organize any board that could de- vise a system to suit all, is just impossible. And that really ac- counts for much of the failure of many. commissions originating in Washington, composed of the best} ” men in the nation in many cases, but although they can figure New Jersey, New York and Ohio, they ate lost when they try to figure Texas, Alabama or Florida. No two cities, counties, or states have the same set of laws and ordinances. They are just as dif- ferent as the men framing and passing them are different. Baby bonds, coupons and _ re- demption certificate stamps, ‘as proposed for the Merchants and Citizens Association for Monroe county, will take Key West and Monroe county out of the depres- sion, and will do it quickly, and 1 firmly believe permanently, for if it will now, it will again if needed. Remember the main points are: The two per cent is paid by the spender always, and on.a-one dollar coupon, it is two cents; on a fifty cent coupon, one cent. The toupon:is redeemed at full par:value when filled out with stamps as required. The trustee of the’ Merchants and Citizens Association will sell to the users' the redemption certificate stamp, all merchants members will have stamps for sale to anyone requir- ing that service. The use of coupons for his personal and expenditures in Key West will leave the merchant with more money to send out for goods, pay- ments and stock renewals. And finally, this system will, through its ability to loan to householders and others, result in employment to carpenters, painters, plumbers, tinners, and all the trades, and in a much improved appearance throughout the city, Almost all cities look dull now after years of so-called . depres- sion. Many accredited authorities claim Florida will lead the “come- back.” I believe it, and if we get busy’ now, Key West ¢an lead Florida by being the first city to get out of debt and back to nor- mal.

MARY’S STAR OF THE SEA CATHOLIC CHURCH; LENT- EN COURSE TONIGHT Lenten Season started this morning at St. Mary’s Star of the Sea, Roman Catholic church, with the Lenten Mass, the blessing of the ashes from burnt Palms, that were blessed last Palm Sunda; and the distribution of the ash on the foreheads.of the people with the memorable reminder of the Church:—“Remember man that thou art dust and into dust thou shalt return.” This year Passion and Holy Week have more than ordinary significance, marking as they do the nineteenth anniversary of the martydom, which the Redeemer of the human family endured for our salvation. Therefore the holy Sea- son of Lent, which reaches its cli- max on Good Friday, means much this year, the Holy Year for all Christians. The Pope Pius XI, alive to the custom of observing centenaries of all celebrations, has decreed that the most stupendous and fruitful event of all history should have a wotld-wide centenary ob- rvance of the holiest character honor of Him who paid the in- finite price of our ransom and has Yovingly and mercifully bestowed {upon us the fruits of our redemp-' Church—the Faith—our tion—the ments—our our Reward.

LECTURE " CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Entitled Christian Science: A Re- ligion of Scientific Trust In God by JAMES G. ROWELL, C. S. of Kansas City, Missouri Member of the Board of Lecture- ship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scien- tist, in Boston, Massacliusetts GOD’S ABUNDANCE What shall we say of. world con- ditions? , Will scientific trust in God heal’ them, too? It can, and will. The present condition of want and woe is teaching more plainly than. words ever could the law of God;-‘‘As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” . Lust is at the bottom of it,—and lust let loose, is war,— lust for power and prestige, lust for money, lust for blood, lust for sense satisfaction, As we have sown in lust, is it any wonder that we should reap in lack?. For is not lust. confession of. belief in lack?, Behold the world believing in lack and experiencing lack in the very midst of the greatest abundance of good things that the’ world has ever known! anomalous? However can it be explained except as fear and greed? And whatever can heal fear and greed except scientific trust in God? God’s abundance is now and always has been suf- ficient for all of His children. Again we have the privilege and are forced by necessity to. prove’ this scientific fact. And many are doing it, All could do it if they. but knew how—how to prove that: each one of-us is in his right place, serving God as a channel for the expression of His ‘endless and bountiful supply of right ideas. Mrs, Eddy says in a little article entitled “Angels”: “God gives you His spiritual ideas and in turn, they give you daily supplies” (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 307). Meanwhile let us lend a helping hand whenever possible, Let us 'share of*our abundance as well as’ show our brothers how ‘to claim their heritage. Our infinite sup-) ply, of true substance can only become apparent through using what we have demonstrated of it. Mrs. Eddy says of Science that it “operates unspent” (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 353). In the light of Mrs. Eddy’s spiritual discovery, there mast necessarily follow a great over- turning in human thought, Trusts that the hfman mind has consid- ered righteous ad legitimate are being found to be false, lawless, and worthless, and trust that measures up to the standard of scientifie>Christianity is taking their places. All Christians are agreed that Christ Jesus was the highest hu- man representative of God. We find it recorded in the Scriptures that Jesus overcame lack and brought to light God’s abundant provision for His children; that he stilled the storm and revealed peace; that he replaced disease with health and even annulled death, disclosing life and normal activity in the very place which Christ] death had seemed to occupy. In fact, all of His ministry of record ‘was spent in teaching the aliness of God. good, and in making { WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1983. fe \Trial Offer At Druggists’ ~” On New Mouth-Wash That It’s the year’s big news for mil. lions of people who use a mouth. wash—a new antiseptic by makers of Vicks VapoRub—which does everything that any mouth-wash or gargle can and should do—at half the cost! ’ So that people everywhere could prove for themselves the quality and amazing economy of | Vicks Voratone—five million trial ‘bottles were supplied to druggists below cost... a 25c value for 10c!
