This exposition is to be nothing less than a

portions and all the world win be there If the
St Louis, Chicago San Francisco spirit shall
animate the city winning the site. 1t ought to
be and can be the biggest single thing for the
benefit of Florida that ever occurred in the
history of the state, and we feel sure that the
winning city will rise to its opportunity and
make the most Of 1t.
Once the site is deterrpined the whole press OF
Florida should feature the subject necessarily
and enthusiastic publicity bureau should send
the to the uttermost parts Of the earth
and follow it up by full details as the EXPOSE

money and big work to pull off, enterprise
of such magnitude. but it will be worth inn
measurably more than its cost. With this gol-
den opportunity right in hand the city securing
the site and using that opportunity for what it
is worth will reap harvest of OVERLOOKING gain
and all Florida, brought into and held in the
worlds spotlight for the year that the EXPOSE
ton will remain open, will benefit largely, di-
rectly and indirectly, in all its interests.
1t is intended that the exposition with exhibits
from every state in the union, Florida leading
of course, in that respect. also from foreign
countries shall be ready to open in October,
1922 which gives little more than two years
to begin and complete the huge work and the

tageous worldwide publicity Florida never

Tt will exploit resources as nothing else
would, bring vast capital to the state for invest
nent and many thousands of new citizens of
desirable type to make their homes here.
And 1922 win be the psychological time. for
the country is tired, deadly tired Of the war. and
it's hydra headed aftermath. Peace has failed
to bring the full relief expected for problems

The Future Complaint.

Wish you'd tell the ace who drives
Your delivery plane
Not TO drop his groceries
On our roof again..
Willie had TO climb around.
Nearly broke his neck,
Getting those potatoes down
Lost a half a peck.
Wish you'd tell your pilot man
When he brings the fish
Try to make a better aim
At our chatting dish.
Thursdays I will set it out
On the dewy lawn
Hope to find the fish therein
When rise at dawn.
Also. while I think OF it.
Tell the man to fly
Several kilometres
Nearer to the sky.
Noise that his motor makes
Careless, stupid chap
Always wakes poor grandpa up
From his daily nap.

Negro NANNY" Helps Sell Many
Washers.
In company with other parts of these
United States, the acute shortage in
washwomen and 1aundresses has hit
Illinois extremely hard. The high
wages paid for unskilled labor and
the great demand for workers of al
kinds have made it virtually impossi-
BILE to secure help, even at So day
to do family wash.
So Beatty, the local hardware man
has a bright idea.
eff laundresses are as scarce as
feathered fish," figured he, there
ought to be a big market for electric
washers. I'll put in an order for some
at once.
The order was placed and the goods
delivered, but Beatty didn't stop there
No sooner had the first batch OF
machines arrived than he started to
work to move 'em all out again, across
the counter.
To accomplish this most effectually
he took everything out of his largest
window and installed therein the fat
test negro washwoman in town, with
nothing to do but sit in a rocking chair
and grin while she watched the electric
washer doing her work. In the after
noon she put the sheets and other linen
through an electric washer-and grin
ned some more.
"A big banner across the front of tire
window told the whole story. II read
Electric Washers Make Monday
Funday."

name, but all negro "Iammies" an
swer to "Mandy'-not only attracted

of the Beatty store all day long, but
she succeeded in moving every one
of the original shipment of washers
and securing orders for as many more
as Beatty could lay his hands on.
