_ FRIDAY, MARCH 12, ae She eam PEDRO AGUILAR | Here’s another chapter in our baseball review. We are re- viewing activities of the national Pastime in Key West from the late 1880's until the present.' In our last column, we review-. ed the first part of September, 1939. Today we start with what happened on September that year. On that date, the Miami All-!§ Stars handed the Key West Conchs a 7 to 2 lacing. The locals were nervous, al- lowing six runs in the first three innings on three hits and four errors. Harry (Bubber) Wickers then relieved Robert Bethel on the mound and held the Stars to a lone run from there on out—but it _was too late. Lefty Weybaum started on the! hill for the victors, hurling four frames. He gave up four hits and no runs. Toby Owens re- lieved him and Julius Villareal, Key West outfielder, singled. William Cates, the mighty Butch, followed with a homer for the on'y Conch runs. Esmond (Tarzan) Albury com- mitted three errors at third and: was responsible for most of the Stars’ runs. ‘ Armande. Acevedo, Key West shortstop, got two safeties. Vil-| } Jareal hit three, and Cates and Johnnie Offutt got one each. Pare poled three for the Stars. | ° Rosenfelt collected two, and Mc- Neece, Saab, Vickers gart one each. Key West Miami Bethel, Wickers and C. Griffin; Welbaum, Owens and.

If Uncle Sam tells you one of these fine days that you may buy only one dress a year, what are ou going to do about it? A. You're going to make the best of it—and the best will be pretty good, with the aid of some of our bright young’ accessory “designers, who can turn a little fast ‘switching of hats, dickeys and gloves. Two of the leading lights in this movement to better the state of underprivileged dresses are Merry Hull, who whips up gloves and matching dickeys out of anything from gingham to sequins, and Helene Garnell, who employs the same tactics with hats. These two benevolent young women recently teamed up with a fashion show at the Ritz to demonstrate what a girl can really do to expand the horizon of a simple costume, if she sets er mind to it. They started out with a few odd bits of striped bed ticking, flowered dimity, plaid gingham ‘and white pique. They finished with a collection of matching hats gloves that had the effete eon crowd at’ the Ritz ing the tables and calling’ Morcamare. “Says Miss vetigas a ‘Hull,’ who is*A'dedo- rativé blonde and the inventor of the finger-free, glove: ae “Give a pi enough gay dic-' keys and gloves—and, of course, hats—and she can be well- dressed with one basic dress.” Says Miss Garnell, who is a decorative red-head and a mil- liner who arrived in New York via Paris and Hollywood: DIMITY TEAM: eo « enough to glamorize the p! est basic dress are these heav- enly twins—the flowered dim- { wool dress of her own design.

Rushing to a telephone, he got the Department of Agriculture on *he wire and appealed for help. He explained that he had listed all the animals but one, a funny look- ing critter that was old and dirty, aBBRy-the] with a long beard and a sad face. | How should he list it, Unperturbed, the Washington official replied: “Don’t wor what you saw was undoubtedl the Farmer, and you don’t ha to take him into consideration. During the past few years the{ Federal government, through the} creation of various boards, bureaus, committees, adminis! has reduced the dependent” farmer to Desk men, city slicker: young lawyers and bureauc lounge-lizzards now do planning and thinking for him. Of course he till supposed to do “dirt”’ work ‘and produce more and,better crops, but the de-| tails are all taken care of by mas-; ter. minds. They lend him money for his operations; tell him what to plant | and where; furnish him seeds and fertilizer and control his every move, Now if this amazing ser- ir thrughout || that, too. All the mis- ; th all his! ee tor, is “frozen.” Warehouses the country are led with everything from bal ‘wire to . bean pickers. The government even controls the manure spreaders, I'm told. \.. Now if the farmer needs a felt for his cream separator, instead of calling a dealer and having it de- livered, he must contact the near- est government wet-nurse, fill out a lengthy application blank and! s fool around a month or so while ; some guy up in Washington de- cides whether or not he really needs a belt. Florida farmers asked to grow more j order to do so, they must make | application, get a permit and be properly signed up. If they want eed, and most of them seem to j have the crazy idea that the ; the government will take care of farmer to do is sign an agreement, agreeing to pay cash for the seed and at the iné ume waiver all protection under the Florida seed law’ if they fail to germinate. In short, the farmer holds the well-known “bag.” He'is’guaranteed: nothing. All he has todo is pay.,and if the see e no good and fail to grow, that’s his hard tuck Maybe the farmer can remem- ; ber, when he used to work out own problems and manage his lown affairs, how the seedsmen would supply seeds on credit, if ‘ary, and guarantee their quality. Most reputable houses went so far as to print on a “Money Back have been peanuts. In do, where he got the most value and the best treatment. They also knew that a crop failure was an ; even greater reflection on them- selves than on the farmer. Now, with governmental con- trol, what happens to the farmer | seems to be a matter of smali im- port. He is supplied his seed, must pay cash for it, and keep his fool mouth shut if it p worthless. The same goes fo: ilizer. It none of his busin analysis is. He must like it Over the years the legislators of Florida have madé@‘a conscien- tious effort te.protect the farmer by requiring that seeds and fer- tilizer sold in th a tain standards. Agriculture Nathan charged with the duty of <a es and inspections to is are as rep- take it and resented But now the Federal govern- ment contends that what it sells the Florida farmer is its own busi- ness and the State of Florida has no right to go poking its nose in Maybe that’s the way the bulk of the farmers want it, maybe they like being nursed and cared for and slapped around, but it’s con- trary to all the principles we are supposed to be fighting for, and maybe that’s why our farmers everywhere getting together and forming Farm Bureaus with the view of having something to say about it, as a unified grotip, ih the future. : are Toll Bridge ‘Say, old man, does your wife play contract bridge? “Well, judging by what it costs her, I would say she plays toll bridge.” and drove straight down t on to the green and olled \ hole.
