One of the expenditures to be _imeurred was the pubiication of the legals, and while the City of Key West is indebted to The Kev West Citizen in the sum of $12,000 or more, this paper yas willing to give the city further credit in publishing the legals required by law. | and creed and class.

February is the birth month of Scout- ing in America.

The “Jamboree” Pilgrimage next June of some 25,000 Scouts to the shrines of our Democracy in Washington is full of Possibilities of good for America as a whole. Good citizenship rests on attitudes and we believe the Scout “Good Turn” has the spirit of Democracy in it. More power to you Scouts as you get this idea into the lives of more of our boys! SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen In the Texas senate a bill was intro- duced recently which . would _ prohibit newspaper pictures “displaying women’s naked legs.” Some of his colleagues think the author of the bill, Senator Olan R. Van Zandt, is a dog-in-the-manger sort of person. The senator is a blind man. A government agency arranged to buy a team of mules for George Marlin, an aged Arkansas farmer, but through mistake sent the check for an even $200 pension, which he must spend in 30 days, he bought a second-hand merry-go-round.
