FLIES INVADE KEY WEST TODAY’S COMMON ERROR ‘Never say. “John Doe hed a sheep to die last week"; say, “One of John Doe’s sheep died last week”. TN PRE CIRCUIT COURT OF ig ENTH JUDI STATE There was a time when Key West was | noted for its freedom trom that common , pest, the house fly. Old literature sent out by early civic organizations carry the boast that there were no house flies in Key West. Today that does not hold true. The fly has invaded this city and is multiplying rapidly, as only a fly and fish can do. Flies lay their eggs in all kinds of foul and poisongus, places. They breed by the bil- lions if filth. .They dote on garbage, thrive on cesspool overflow.

He uses neither knife, fork or spoon—even for soup—and with all his wealth, he sleeps in a bed with no springs. Having that much wealth he can afford to eat and live just as he likes, civilized we prefer the civilized way. The famous Sucker-fish (Echeneis), are trained to catch turtles. man fastens a string around its tail and loosens it as the turtle dives down from the surface, the loosened sucker-fish going after the turtle and fastening on to it until pulled up. Nor is there any danger of the turtle escaping for a sucker-fish will be torn to pieces rather than let go its hold on the turtle.

While some observers placed Fin- land’s dead at a somewhat higher figure, | it seems quite certain that for every Finn who died at least 10 Russian corpses were | strewn over the battlefields. Time maga- zine estimated Russia’s wounded at 250,- 000; Finland's at 35,000. Reccunting:the heroic deeds of his army, Baron Mannerheim said, in part: “Soldiers of the glorious Finnish Army: Peace has been concluded be- tween our country and the Soviet Union, | an exacting peace which has ceded to Rus- sia nearly every battlefield on which you have shed your blood. “You were forced into a struggle in| |I am forty-three years of age. am keepirg up with the work of ision, and with my judicial a trial | shine for centuries in the pages of _his- tory. but never have I seen your like as _ war- riors.

It illustrates, per- haps, the ignorance of the critics who do not seem to understand the difficulties that the democracies face in the present | struggle. Competent critics have expressed the belief ‘that Germany is maintaining its superior aerial position and there has not been enough fighting to deplete the ma- | terial reserves that Hitler had prepared for the war. Against this opinion is the belief that Hitler did not want a general war over the Polish affair and that his military experts warned him that Germany could not stand a long war. Just now it is impossible to know what is the truth. Five or ten years after - the war ends we will be able to know what | | | | | | and Russia, Baron Mannerheim, the Fin- |er. | |; | lh | | which you have done great deeds that will | I have fought on many battlefields, | success.
