Sybold of Moellin, Germany, took a daily beating from his wife for quite a while, then-rebelled, tied her to a_ bedpost, tatooed her artistically in six colors and ran away. Another optimistic note appears in a Victoria) }B. C., newspaper, which reads: “The board was gratified to learn that re- ceipts..were 50 per cent greater » thay lage year, and the hope was expressed that next year the “cemetery will “Be ~ Seif. rig tei ing.” i MPranscript tells of a Bostow boy who won a school prize for excellence in natural history. Explaining his victory to his mother, he said: “Teacher asked how many legs an ostrich had, and I said. three. All the others said four, so I was nearest right.” An exchange states that there are 000,000 laws, national, state and local, now-in effect in the United States. The Israelites under Moses got along fairly wel! with only ten, none of which are very en- thusiastically observed at the present writing. A nervous correspondent demands that stamp-moisting devices be installed in all postoffices, to eliminate the “insanitary and dangerous” habit of licking postage stamps with the tongue. He fails to give a list of fatalities resulting from stamp-lick- ing, however, It is suggested by a noted educator that inasmuch as it is impessible for any one to be informed about everything, we should deliberately choose the subjects of which we are content to remain in ignor- ance. For most of us these would make a quite lengthy list. “peculiar weakness. .for him and who will endorse him will be FAGG’S RESIGNATION (Orlando Reporter-Star) Marcus Fagg is a good man. He has accomplished a great work in building up the Children’s Home at Jacksonville. That seems to be his sphere. Considerable sur- prise was expressed by his friends when he was appointed to and accepted the post of executive officer of CWA operations in Florida. Stepping out of a job he knew into one that was entirely new to him in most of its features and detail, was a hazardous move. Evidently it was not a wise ap- pointment from any point of view. Fagg is honest and enthusiastic, but his training has not been such as qualified him for this difficult task. Herein lies an unhappy chapter in his life. Some way it seemed so easy for ad- ministrators to misunderstand the real pur- pose of CWA. Employment was the pri- mary aim. Material was only incidental to the employment. Nor was it intended that a great overhead should be built up to provide office jobs at good salaries and a field foree beyond actual needs. This seems to be the particular fault laid at the door of Mr. Fagg. Out of the confusion of the state-wide shakeup should come a better organization because experience can be utilized as a guide. It must come if the efforts of the administration to help the unemployed and to rekindle business operations are not frustrated. “Under the guise of relief and humanitarianism there is being guilt up in this state a social service and welfare or- ganization out of all proportion to actual requirements and with every semblance of a political racket.” This was the written report of J. P. Newell after having made a personal investigation. Then he adds: “IT can not countenance the exorbitant salaries paid to many of the professionals, and the excessive personnel resulting in an extravagant overhead at the expense of the needy.” This is plain language. Jim Newell would not make such a report and have it incorporated in the minutes of the ex- ecutive committee unless he was_ pretty sure of his grounds. Nor would Chairman Treadway have used the decisive language he did concerning certain appointments unless he knew hwereof he spoke. It is inconceivable that the corrosive influences of polities and the ambition of professional welfare workers should com- bine for the promotion of their own par- ticular interests in such an emergency as this. But this is what the report amounts to. Charitable as we are disposed to be in such matters, we can not, from the in- formation at hand, do otherwise than en- dorse the action of the committee. Pub- lie welfare should come ahead of personal preferences. NEW DEAL CANDIDATE (Orlando Sentinel) Politically, Claude Pepper has a Many who will vote unable to convince themselves that Park ‘Trammell’s. so-called rabbit's -foot- has lest- its conjure. This is true mainly because there are five candidates in the race and furthermore because of the political alert- ness of the incumbent. However, in some sections there is a| feeling that Pepper will easily outstrip the | other three aspirants and that he will en- | "€#¢¥ 4s soon as the resolutions} ter the second primary with Mr. Trammell. If he is able to get this far, he should be elected. Of course Mr. Trammell has been on the job a long time. But he is not as popular with the people as he might be. This new day in government, inspired by Mr: Roosevelt, no doubt is going to bring out more thoughtful voters than since the early days of the republic. The old hooey | and hokum to snare voters is rapidly be- ing replaced with a desire on the part of the people to hear some logic. | A year ago if a man had $100 in gold in his pocket he was a law abiding citi- i zen.

If that action is taken by the coun-| cil, it is said, it will be an incen- tive to other interests to erect is well known to many residents the exemption from taxation of the F. E. C. property at Trumbo Island for 10 years led to the construction of the Casa Marina. As the history and traditions of | the Middle Ages were broad-! cast through the world by the} wandering minstrels or minne- singers, so these troubadours of a newer day, the sweet sing- ers of the Ukranian National Chorus have carried through Europe and the nations of the Western Hemisphere, the faith! and loves, the deeds of valor and simple hearted festivals and Joys | of the far Ukraine, once known as Little Russia. Under the won- der working wand of Alexander Koshetz, this human . symphony will be heard in the «new High Schoo! building, Match” 10, ‘spon- sored by the Woman’s Club. —~+-4 Ss >> It is expected that when the county commissiquers hold theix ing Thursday * évenihg’ the joint resolution of the commis- sioners from Monroe and Dade counties for building of the bridge from Key Largo to the Dade county line will be ready for pre- sentation. The money for the construction of this bridge and the one at Stock Island will be required are adopted. It has been authoritatively an- nounced that six or seven of the hol t the municipal golf course on Stock Island will be opened to players in the next few days. The greens are now in excellent con- dition and it is expected many tourists as well as local players will be out.
