TEN ACRES OF OYSTERS
PLANTED in FLORIDA

The oyster business in Dade county
Florida, has been started, says an
eastern dispatch.
After much agitation and discus.
sion, one man has actually planted
ten acres Of Biscayne bay osyters,
and a group Of several other growers
have secured permits from the state
and will hire an expert to plant their
hildings and to care for them.
Because Of the fact that 1T takes
about twoy ears to put the oyster In
dustry on a paying footing, pioneers
in the business have been hard to
ecu But once 1t is established, it
is believed that it will prove to be
SO profitable that people will rush to
get into the game.

THE DIRTY BOY


You're as dirty as can be
There is chocolate on your face:
There is mid upon each knee,
And your clothing's . Disgrace.
You were spick and span this morn.
Dressed in proper baby style
Now your rompers you have torn,
But you've surely kept your smile
How can little hands acquire
So much dirt and dust and grimeg
Is it possible In mire
You go playing all the time?
You're a sweaty little tyke,
And as smeary ascan be;
But your smile Is what I like,
It is surely good to see.
Find the mud and wallow there,
Fill your little shoes with sand;
Rab the dirt into your hair
With each grimy little hand.
These are signs that you are well.
And they make your daddy glad;
When you're dirty he can tell {
What a lot Of fun you've had.
