Harry Floyd, the West Florida
genius, needs looking after. He is
now suffering from an acute attack
of pessimism to which most of us
yield now and then when our livers
are out of order, and in the deep
ness of his gloom he emits this flash
of blackness which does him little
credit as a Democrat at the conclu-
sion Of the first year of successful
Democratic administration at Wash
ington:
1.-THE United States has ceased to
believe in God! Chaos is coming
again. Democracy is becoming a
vast irrational engine of tyranny
and corruption. Government is
purposeless. Greed and corruption
sap the foundations. Today the only
patriot is the man who believes in
God. He ought to enlist in mill
tary company and learn to fight for
law and order against chaos, for hell
is about to break loose in the
world

having high old time today with
their DeSoto celebration and the
beautiful little city is crowded with
visitors. Barring Lakeland's recent
anniversary celebration and the
Gasparilla carnival in Tampa, the
st. Petersburg affair is probably the
biggest fete day seen in South Flol :

down there always do things we'll.

MANY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
TAILOR MADE SUIT AND
COAT SALE.

Saturday was busy day at ReaTs
tailor shop in the 1900 block, as many
men took advantage of an opportunity
that seldom presents itself.
Mr. Beal considers himself quite
fortunate in securing 100 suits and
overcoats that a reliable tailoring firm
of Chicago was unable to deliver, most
of these garments are models, which
means they are made up first class
in every respect.
A bargain awaits the man who can
find a fit Regular s25 to S35 values
can be purchased at $3.50, SASS and
