Some husbands don’t even dare to make a minority report. Another paradox is that some sparsely settled sections have a dense population. We admire those who are independent and courageous enough to agree with our views. Unfortunately, the speaker who lays his watch on the table forgets to look at it again. Of the eleven distinct kinds of Amer- ican money we are satisfied to obtain just one kind. We could stand superior people if they didn’t insist on reminding us of their superiority. With a surplus of almost everything, the supply of gossip seems never to equal the demand. May be the President could end the depression like Lincoln did slavery—by proclamation. Little minds anger quickly, and get over it quickly. Big minds anger slowly, but hold it longer. The fact that a man is “‘telling the world” does not prove that anybody in the world is listening to him. Whether one considers the world round, flat, square or crooked depends on the part he has bumped against. Questioned about rumors of his im- pending divorce, an actor said, “My wife whl do the talking.” As usual? Even the economists have discovered that by spending a billion dollars a month Uncle Sam is getting deeper in debt. May be all right for the politicians to kiss the babies, provided they break the habit before the*babiés are grown up. fellow who wused | to > serenade i Ba Sie a guitar has a‘ sof’ Who gets quicker results with an auto horn. No matter what station a man _ oc- cupies in life he has several plausible ex- cuses to explain his failure to rank higher. This skeptical age refuses to believe in | witehes, but the witching girls keep com- ing around to sell us entertainment tickets. The danger of communication of} disease through school books has been stressed. We recall how often they made { us sick, in our earlier school days. A Miamian writing to the publisher of The Citizen states that the Magic City is filled with people but that most of them go to the dogs—at night. If one must go to the dogs, presumably the night is as propitious as the day. Boys and girls are not going to the bow wows any more today than they were fifty years ago. They are only leading faster lives, but just as honorable as in the so-called good old days.—Times-Union With the mental reservations expected, of course. TAMPA GETS READY F FOR THE FAIR (Times-Union) The State Fair and Gasparilla cele- bration in Tampa this year is to far surpass in generai excellence and importance pre- vious events. An annual occasion for many years, the fair is being worked up on a larger scale than ever before. Through assistance of Government agencies the fair grounds have been extended and greatly improved, many fine new buildings have been erected and will be filled with ex- hibits of the various and many things grown and produced in Florida. The citrus fruit display is announced to occupy a large, special building, and will be the most com- prehensive and interesting display of the golden fruit ever set up anywhere at any time in Florida. This is but a single item in the long list of attractions, and while it would be well worth a trip to Tampa to visit, the citrus display is only a feature. The several fair buildings will contain much that must interest and entertain visi- tors from everywhere in the country—and visitors from all sections of the United States, and no doubt from foreign tries. Tampa is always gay and lively dur- ing the fair, which this year’ will Tuesday, January 30, and carry on until Saturday, February 10. The fair began as a State exposition of products and activi- ties, and has for some time past included the Gasparilla Carnival, a big, -merry- making, happy time, enjoyed by thousands and somewhat similar to the Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans and other Southern cities. The pirate Gasparilla, im- personated by a prominent Tampan, is ex- pected to sail into the bay, or in some man- ner arrive with his desperate crew, seize the trembling city, and its tickled-to-death population, and incite the latter to dance, shout and applaud as parades and other festive stunts are carried forward. As a display of agricultural and in- dustrial Florida the Tampa Fair always of- fers a splendid review of products and is in every sense of the word a State fair. The trimmings, which include the Gasparilla event, races, competions for militia, bands, special programs for children, and a hun- dred varied entertainments and diversions, are for the enjoyment of the less serious minded people attending the show—al- though it is likely that the most devoted grove owners, or farmers, like to have a “good time,” after having had a look at the exhibits. Aj this is an election year there will no doubt be time somewhere to talk to people who are in favor of some- body or something that will be affected by the elections coming right along in June. The Tampa Fair promoters § are promising that Gov. Dave Sholtz will make a trip down to see the sights, and also make a speech; Tuesday, February 6, is desig- nated on the program as “‘Governor’s Day,” and there is scheduled a banquet and con- siderable talking. Saturday, February 3, is American Legion Day, and there are a number of feature events for that date. Florida school children’s day is marked up for Friday, February 2, and on that day all children and school teachers will be ad- mitted to the fair grounds free. Interesting programs have been planned for the chil- dren. Tuesday, January 30, which is Presi- d&ént Roosevelt's birthday anniversary, is to be marked with special attention to the happy event in the life of our Chief Ex- ecutive. There are several other “special” days announced, including Press Day, which is February 7, and is combined with Citrus Fruit Day—a happy joining of golden- hearted men and women with the State’s golden fruit industry—and likely to be one of the memorable dates of the fair. The newspaper folks of Florida talk, brag, boast, proclaim, and laud our wonderful citrus products and never tire of telling, in print, of its deliciousness, healthfulness and beauty. They will be pleased with the display, no doubt, and go home after the show to tap their typewriters even more eagerly in praise of oranges, grapefruit, Satsumas, tangerines, and all the list of them, in new prose poems, gold-colored. Held at a time when the State is filled to overflowing with visitors from the far ends of the country, the Tampa Fair and Gasparilla Celebration is certain to attract thousands, and all who go will enjoy them- selves and be ready to tell when leaving and going elsewhere of the pleasures and lovely things viewed down on the West Coast of Florida. coun- ACROSS .
