WENDLER GOT HIS
At TAMPA SHOW

The Tampa Tribune of this morn
ing says:
Probing still deeper into the
acts Of j. H. Wendler while secre-
tary of the association during the
late poultry show held in Tampa,
the Florida Fanciers Association at
meeting last night listened to d
report of A. l.. Allen, receiver for
the association, and to the reading
OF many letters from exhibitors at
that show complaining against
Wendler's methods of doing busi-
ness.
A detailed statement, taken from
part of the accounts of Wendler,
by the receiver, which were submit
ted to him by Wendler's attorneys,
showed some startling statements.
None Of these statements were ac-
companied by vouchers, which are
still in the hands of Wendler's at
torneys, they claiming that they are
necessary for the defense, but 1t is
expected that they will be turned
ever to the receiver later for his at
tention.

Womans' Part in Civic Betterment.
 The watchword of our federation is Service" and in "Civic Service" many club women have solved the problem What Can do for the General Bet terment? ?" The training of women for home makers fits them peculiarly for their activities in municipal house. keeping. In fact in waging war against the dirt and ugliness of our streets, in fighting the insidious enc mics to health and morals of the com munity, women are actuated by the de- sire to bring into the town life the same elements of comforts, good cheer cleanliness, beauty, safety, that are so essentially part of the best home life.
 The record of club women in their work for better civic conditions, is one of splendid achievements, not the least of which is an intangible one the fostering of civic pride. For we find that civic pride is one of the best clements of true patriotism, and makes each of us eager to do our lit tie toward making ours land of beau tiful, healthful towns, and cities.
