Probal making a bid for the Scotch Chieago Tribune prints and Newsdom copies this ancient wheeze, which may be aa funny to the present generation as_ it was to those of the past. Trib hangs it on an Urbana restaurant, which is said to! have displayed the following sign: “Wanted—Man with Wooden Leg to Mash | Potatoes.” Radio comedians may use the joke with impunity, the copyright having expired in 1887. For consistency the family record of *Yim Nelson and his wife, Minnie, of Hot Springs, Ark., would be hard to beat. In 26 years they have become the parents of | 18 children, six boys and seven girls, uni- formly spaced at intervals of two years, ! the °6 and the youngest two | years old, All aie liying and it is said that | none has ever been sick. eldest bei Noting that. Adolphe Menjou has just’! taken his third wife, a writer observes that | Hoot Gibson has alsd'had three and John | Gilbert four. Among the marrying ladies | of the sereen Constance Bennett has had 1 three husbands, while Mae Murray and} Gloria Swanson have had four each. None ! of them, however, is in the class with that old-time comedien, the late Nat Goodwin, who, if our memory serves, at one time or | another was the husband of six Mrs. Good-! wins { Soot aes ae A few days ago the 150th anniver- sary of the founding of the state of Frank- | lin was celebrated. And if you never } heard of it we may say that it was located I _io what is now the eastern part of Ten-| nessee, and the noted pioneer, John Sevier, H was governor during the four years of its | existence. Sevier got into trouble with { North Carolina authorities, and also into j jail, his new state being abolished. But he | lived to be the first governor of Tennessee. | As many people may know, chop suey is not a product of China, but a concoction; originated in the United States. It has/ heen introduced into China, however, not for consumption by Chinese, but for the | benefit of American residents and tourists. } One of the largest Chinese restaurants in} Shatighai displays the sign: “New York Chop Suey Served Here.” THE TOWN BULLY Who pays your wages or salary?

H What will replace the taxes destroyed by tax-exempt government business com-| P petition with private citizens? taxes on remaining private property. What is the difference between the town bully and the politician who uses the foree of government to take what he wants from helpless private citizens? None. The people make the government. The people make the politicians. Industry and business create incomes and property which politicians tax. If the politicians destroy private busi- ness, where will they get taxes? Where will people get jobs? | Can we all get jobs with the govern- { the ment? No. » THE KEY WEST CITIZEN JHOTO shows Miss Louise Efird, a of Albany, Ga., winner of the Higher | Georgia “Peach” Contest at Radium Springs and one of the finalists at the World’s Fair in Chicago, with KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY | Happenings Here Just 10 Years; #Pagna de AgovToday As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen cording to a new ruling of reasury Department, customs s no longer retain and de-! 88 15 , Mean ‘Normal Mean i a Yesterday's Precipitation .46 Ins.

B., who writes The Gulf Gleam in The Tampa Tribune, says that lightning does not hit a steel building or a_ steel ship, in commenting on the destruction of the Morro Castle. which is correct, but he is not correct when he adds, “And there is not supposed to be any lightning in a} hurricane.” arr the Car During the last hurricane that hit Key West—1919— it thundered and light- ened while the wind roared at a velocity of | more than 100 miles an hour: While there | “" were no crashes, as they are during a heavy thunderstorm, yet the flashes were vivid and the rumble of thunder was heard dis- tinetly above the roaring and booming of | *. the wind. | That was at 2 o’clock in the morning following the afternoon when the hurri- | cane started, and residents declared that | the thunder and lightning denoted that the | storm would soon be over, but they were | mistaken, because an hour later the wind | raced at its greatest velocity, 120 miles an hour, according to the local weather bureau. the Dr. tor WHAT THE RAILROADS MEAN TO YOU | What the railroads mean to the Amer- ican people was well expressed in a recent statement by A. J. County of the Penn- sylvania system. The railroads give employment to about 1,000,000 people, whose jobs are im- periled when the lines operate at a_ los Millions of other workers, in mines, fac tories and all types of industry are de. pendent on railroad purchases for their | livelihood. In normal times, railroads are ! the greatest single purchaser of supplies in 4 1 the nation. Government itself—local, county, ; state and national—is dependent on the! lines for much of its tax revenue. Rail- I, road money paves roads, builds public | building: ¢ ies on all kinds of govern- | ment activities, and educates thousands of our children. Every person benefits when railroads | prosper—every person feels the ill fects when they are depressed. It is an; excellent sign that thousands of indus- } trialists, representing all lines of business, | are behind the movement to give tt i a fair deal. ef- ny is in the aftern y before the dedication of bers ial Ce ymment: who can’t get to School on n conimonly get to the ball game at the first inning.
