Key West have cast,,their spell over many visitors ‘to this exotic | isle, and among this. group of! bewitched travelers may be num- | bered J. H. Mills and family of | Eepanto, Ark. i This information is contained ; in a letter from Albert L. White of that city to his uncle, J. O.; White, of Key West. Mr. White is a neighbor of Mr. Mills in Le-! panto. On Mr. Mills’ return from! a@ Florida he had al ftiendly chat with Mr. White, with Key West one of the main; topics. | Mr. Mills and family were in} the Island City on their first visit | duning the time President Frank-| Im D. Roosevelt passed through | So intrigued were the} Michigan visitors that they told Mr. White Key will never want to leave there”. Mr. White writes further that Mr. Mills certainly likes the city and that he “is some fisherman”. Among other Lepanto residents to visit Key West, according to the correspondence, were Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Lee, who also journey- ed to the Island Republic while in this section. Not only was Mr. White in- formed verbally of Key West, but was shown several snapshots taken in this city, including one of the President, and another of a local amusement place. Incidentally, Mr. White is post- master of Lepanto, and his broth- er, J. Emmett White, is assistant postmaster.

SINGLE- TON: SUPERINTENDENT OF LIGHTHOUSE speci dS ALSO HEARD S. C. Singleton, Executive Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, was principal speaker at the luncheon of the Key West Rotary Club on Thursday and- chose as his subject “Know Flo ida”, which is a state second in! size east of the Mississippi River, © “reaching from the Temperate | Zone to within a few miles of the | Tropic of Cancer, and holds as Kipling has phrased it, ‘Dominion over Palm and Pine’. It is jewel- | led with 30,000 lakes and one! might coast along its shores and | complete a voyage of 2,000 miles, ! before he passed from boundary ; to boundary, from Alabama to; Georgia”. | The speaker then gave an out-{ line of the history of the state, | and the fact that “Florida: has! been discovered again, old things ; |are passing, and the people. are} being confronted with many new } problems. Several of the im-} |Portant new phases of life in! Florida were touched on with the} intimate knowledge of the sub- ject that is possessed by students _.{of the state and its history, as does Mr. Singleton. Calls On Dr. Warren | As part of the Know Florida talk Mr. Singleton called on Dr. | Wm. R. Warren for comment on Key West’s climate. Dr. War- ren said, “Florida boasts a_ cli- mate which Key West alone has”. Pointing out that the air here was of a balmy nature, that it was free from the contamination of factories, and that there was little dust even though Key West . has not had heavy rains for many | months, Dr. Warren pointed to one health advantage of Key West. He mentioned the fact that The Key West Citizen,. of- fering a $5 prize to the Key West Library for every day in whieh |the sun does not shine, has not paid it IN TWO YEARS. There! is no frost here he said, and<in! the sun are actinic rays which He warned against an overdose of sun bathing, however. The low altitude helps those who have heart ailments. Other features of the climate have ef-/ fected many cures among those who have rheumatism, arthritis and other diseases of the bone. joints. Respiratory diseases are greatly minimized here.
