Karl Lundberg found the right girl on the wrong boat when he tried to sail from Honolulu te San Francisco, only to find out that by mistake he had boarded a ship bound for Alaska. All ended well, how- ever, and the girl, then Miss Marie Benzet, whom he met and wooed on his unpremedi- ‘tated Alaskan Voyage, is now Mrs. Lund- ; An unusual sanctuary is the mission home at Kongolo in the Belgian Congo, Af- rica. Here native brides, some very young, may obtain refuge when they run away from undesirable husbands to whom they | have been sold by their parents, but the | mission refunds the purchase price to the deserted husband.’ If the \girl later finds a man she really ‘wants to marry, he can have her by reimbursing the mission. More than 600 girls have passed through the mission in this way in the seven years of its existence. WILL YOU DO YOUR PART? The progressive spirit in a commun- ity can be determined by the type of the|' daily newspaper that serves it: if the spirit is pronounced, the newspaper is good; if the spirit is negligible, the newspaper is merely “passable.” It frequently happens. though, that the owner of a newspaper strives to his ut- most, sometimes to the “limit,” to keep his paper good even in a community that is lacking in enterprise and a progressive spirit. Such has been the case of The Citizen, the publisher of which has gone to the “limit” to get out a high-class paper in a community of this size.

Day after day, except now and then where the space taken by foreign adver- tising is sufficient to overcome a Joss, The Citizen loses money, which, at the end of each month, amounts to several hundred dollars. The Citizen can not continue to sus- tain these losses, One of two things must happen: either The Citizen must further cut down its expenses, which will mean that it will not be able to give the public the type of paper that is now being issued, or the business men of Key West must ad- |’ yertise more extensively than they do at present. It Would be an easy matter if every business man in Key West entertained the regard for his community that Lou Smith does. Mr. Smith conducts a filling ‘sta- -tion at White and Catherine streets, and every week for several years he has given | The Citizen at least one small advertise- ment. As he explains, he has two reasons for doing that: first, because of his determina- tion to keep his name before the publit; secondly, because he feels that he should help to support the daily paper of Key West, realizing that the greater the sup- port, the better will be the paper that is issued, Key West would not only have a better paper, so far as the extent of world-wide ews is concerned, but would also have a larger paper if every business man in Key West advertised at least once a week, as Mr. Smith does. Instead, there are many men in busi- ness in Key West who have never advertis- ed and many others that go month fn and month out and year in and year out with- out running an advertisement in The Citi- zen. i The Citizen stands ready to give Key West as good a paper as ony other city of its size has, if the business men of the community will accord this paper a modi- cum of support. ‘But without support The Citizen is so handicapped by the lack of funds it is impossible to improve the paper; further than that, it will be impossible much longer to give the public of Key West as an a paper as it has now. « he Citizen, it. should be remembered, has a 9 ited Press service and also has a correspondent in Washington and 27 local employees. But The Citizen is anx- ious to get out an even better paper. It is ready to do its part, if you, Mr. Business ogee do your part. tat a Remmi gis AN ESKIMO IN NEW YORK Abie Broomfield is the Arnglicized name of a i5-year-old Eskimo dog driver, who has been enjoying his first visit to civ- ilization as illustrated by New York and its environs.
