the lot occupied by his cottage, The
Waverly, to the next lot and to annex
something or other to it to make it

extensions added to the many homes,
even at this early date impresses on the
observer the fact that Holly Beach be-
lieves in expansion. 1t is nearing that
period in our national life when the issue
of i'm perialism and expansion will be
mauled, t%hrashed, chewed up and di-
gested and the political volcano will
begin to erupt. We extend the right
hand of fellowship to u sister, cities
Philadelphia and New York, and ask
them to join us in leaving our impress
on the national contest. We believe in
expansion. We are saturated with eX-
pansion, Glazed, intoxicated. We look
with longing eyes to u northern bor-
