Nobody is too old to learn; but many of us are too lazy to study. Little heads can tell big heads that they have the most water on the brain. Some are so modest that they are em- barrassed when faced by the naked truth. Individuals who know very little are easily persuaded that they know a great deal. = “Who can remember when Sunday used to be, in the strictest sense, a day of worship?

Their seafaring ancestors brought seeds and bulbs and shoots from | the far corners of the world to beautify | their homes and yards where they were wont to bask contentedly in the sunshine in between voyages. This desire for beauti- ful flowers and shrubs and trees has been transmitted from generation to genera- tion, lane, every yard in Key West has its nooks where growing things lend enchantment to the local scene and make it more entranc- ing to resident and visitor. Fostering this innate love for natural beauty is the Key West Garden Club and Tree Guild. Annually it holds one of the most unique flower shows here to be found | anywhere in the world. It: has been in- strumental in the planting of a large num- | ber of trees and shrubs to replace those | that have been destroyed or that have died natural deaths. Lately the officers and members of \ the Key West Garden Club and Tree Guild have been disturbed because of the dis- appearance of a large number of immature | plants and cactuses from the Botanical | Garden on Stock Island, under the super- vision of the WPA. mined that thieves have been busy in the nursery. The members of the club and guild are offering a reward of $5 for the arrest and conviction of the thieves be- cause, they believe, it will be harmful to the beautification program if the plants are | removed before they are ready for trans- planting. It-is all very well, organization offi- | cials argue, to have a love of beauty and a desire to beautify the city, but it is wrong and foolish to steal plants which will only wilt and die unless they are ready to be transplanted. The Citizen feels that the theft of nursery plants should be stopped, so that the orderly and planned beauti- fication program may go forward without interference. If apprehended, the thieves, { undoubtedly, will regret their predatory | The Golden Text is: “If thou} |draw out thy soul to the hungry, | |and satisfy the afflicted soul; then; (shall thy light rise in obscurity, incursions, when they answer the charge before a stern judge. DANZIG, THE FREE CITY The controversy between Germany and Poland over the free city of Danzig, has created fresh interest in this Baltic seaport, once one of the most important in Europe. When it was founded 997, and it is therefore some two centuries older than Berlin. During much of its early history Dan- | zig was a free city, and as a member of the famous Hanseatic League of commercial cities during the Middle Ages it reached a high development in power and wealth. It declined in the 17th and 18th centuries as _ a result’of the constant wars which ravaged commercially prominent. ~~ Danzig came under the rule of Prus- sia (Germany) at the close of the Na-| poleonic wars in 1814, and so remained until after the World War, when it again became a free city under the auspices of the League of Nations, although its foreign and diplomatic affairs and certain other functions, are conducted by Poland. Dan- zig is governed by its own legislative body of 72 members. The area described as the free city of Danzig is 754 square miles in extent, and contains three other smaller cities—Zop- pot, Neutreich and Tiegenhof—and about 250 rural communities. BARTER AT PISTOL. POINT The barter commerce that is being pushed by Germany is a direct result of lack of gold on the part of the Reich. Unable to buy what she wants with gold the German nation seeks to secure it by swapping goods. The fact that military force is used against certain nations in order to make them enter into barter agreements is evi- The result is that every street, every | \ THE KEY WEST CITIZEN LEY MEMORIAL ME. | en RET 1 } White and Washington Streets | O.
