Interesting facts about one of the larg- est “crop” plantings ever made in Florida | are told by the Key West Citizen in relat- ing how 20,000,000 marine crayfish have been introduced to waters adjacent to the island. About 12,000,000 of these crus- taceans have been “planted” in the last month. Their habitat is the rocky coastal water and Key West makes quite a busi- ness of shipping these delicacies.

THE NATION’S CAPITAL «Among the troublesome questions which confronted Congress in the early days of the Republic was that of selecting ; a permanent seat of government, Between 1774 and 1788 the old Continental Con- gress held sessions at various times in no less than eighteen different towns. These were Philadelphia, Baltimore, Lancaster, Pa.; York, Pa.; Princeton, N. ! J,;.Annapolis, Md.; Trenton, N. J. and New York. This continual moving about Hopkinson, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, to facetious- ly suggest that the capital be placed on wheels, so that it might be moved readily from place to place as desired. When the new government under the present constitution was formed in 1789, the seat of government was temporarily | located in New York, but was removed to Philadelphia the following year. After much discussion the present site was se- lected and the cornerstone of the capitol was laid by President Washington on Sep- tember 18, 1793, with Masonic ceremonies. The government was removed to Washington in 1800, during the adminis- Of the con- dition of the place at that time a_ writer says: “The new city’s streets and parks existed on paper only. New arrivals saw gangs of laborers making the first im- provements since the clearing away of the forest trees on what has become the most famous historic street in the country, the broad stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue.

A LENIENT WIFE How much personal freedom a_ hus- band and wife should permit each other is a question that has been the subject of much discussion both in public and private. It is suspected that a good many husbands grant their wives as little liberty as _pos- sible, while taking all they can get for themselves. And in a good many cases the wife adopts a similar attitude. The grand prize for leniency to a hus- band, if such is entitled to a prize, would seem 'to be due Mrs. Rhoda Hood of Lou ville, who gave her husband, James E. Hood, a card signed by her reading as fol- lows: “This is to certify that I hereby per- mit my husband to go where he pleases} drink what he pleases, and furthermore to enjoy the company of any lady or ladies{ he sees fit, as I know he is a good judge. I want him to enjoy life while he can, as I know he is going to be dead a long, long time.” Whether Mrs. Hood's attitude was a wise one is open to question but it prob- ably saved a lot of argument. Her card of manumission came to light when it was found in Hood’s pocket after he had been killed by an automobile, while _ walking alone and sober on a Baltimore street. | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ‘of Tampa are beimg congratulated KEY WEST IN Whitehead str | tempted to avoid a collision with DAYS GONE BY 2 chevrolet car leaving the post-, eeeeccccccescccscccccees Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen | The body of George W.
