MAN WANTS PUT
LITTLE HERE BELOW

All Turkey now wants
Is the restitution
OF Arabia, Palestine,
Mesopotamia and Egypt;
And the Crimea and Crete.
Which reminds us
That all we want
Is a couple or three
Million dollars and
A private car and
A limousine and
A summer cottage
BY the sounding sea and =
A ticket to Atlantic City
And self-acting fly swatter
And a grey hound
And something that'll stop
A sunburned place from stining
And silencer that'll
Work on cats
And a large tub O. suds
And an invitation
To the kaiser's funeral
And a few more little
Old trifes like that.
When it comes to sitting
Down and yearning for things
Turkey hasn't anything on us.

Lakeland has certain "old friends"
who feel the call of the Southland ev-
cry winter, but who never seem to
yearn for certain curbstone seats on
Main street and Kentucky avenue in
the summer time. The Orlando Re-
porter-Star has solved the problem Of
caring for these visitors. 1t says.
During the winter season there are
numerous cripples who loiter about
the streets, exposing their deformity
to create sympathy for their afflic-
ton from the passing public. The eff
feet is anything but uplifting. Often
1t causes gloom to fall upon the
spectator. There have been schools
established for the rehabilitation of
such unfortunates. They will be edu-
Gated in some trade which will be
most fitting to their disability. AS a
charity to them and the public, they
should not be permitted to hang about
public places begging aims. Give them
the opportunity to become useful citi,
Zens. Should they refuse. confine
them in Jail where they will be housed
and fed by the generosity of the ia,
payers.

The Arcadia News yesterday suS-
pended publication of its daily edition,
giving as the cause the increased cost
of everything which enters into the
production of a newspaper and the
lack of support upon the part of the
merchants. Arcadians will miss the
daily visits of their paper. With all
the army activity there, it appears to
us that a daily paper could be we'll
supported if the merchants realized
the opportunity offered but they
won't miss the well until dust takes
the place of the water. If a town
has good newspaper it should be
given whole-hearted cooperation, es-
pecially at this time when its pro-
duction involves such heavy outlay
of money.

London, July 2.-Hammersmith

poses the formation of cooperative
piggery and under present plans 1000

OF course, there may be some folks
who haven't had enough rain yet and
hope it will cloud up and rain, but
we've had enough until after the
Fourth. If moisture is necessary to
anybody's happiness, however, there
are certain things that can be de-
pended on to produce rain, such as
summing the beds, cutting hay, hang
ing up a snake, a picnic, weather bu-
reau's prediction of fair weather, and
not needing it.
