Rev. Sunday turned away
crowds in st. Augustine because
of the inability of his big tent to
accommodate them. The tent has
been greatly enlarged and in Tam
pa there will be seats for approx
mately 5000 persons, while a
large sounding board placed be-
hind the speaker will carry his
voice distinctly to all portions of
the audience.
Accompanying Rev. Sunday is
Homer Rodreheaver, the famous
singer, and considerable party.

that the minutes of the Lee coun-

papers have no cause to complain
in this respect, for, as soon as the
DeSoto board finishes it's business
and adjourns, copies Of the official
minutes are sent to every paper in
the county We do not know
whether Ibis is done by direction
of the commissioners or not, but it
is very likely, for they are group

A vast deal has been said and
printed about the difficulty of get
ting full and correct assessment
of personal property. This is
easily understood, when you re-
fleet that most of this personal
property consists of stocks and
bonds that pay 4 to 6 per cent,
never more than s per cent, to
the owners, and they cannot af-
ford to give it in for taxation at
6 per cent. But, according to
Hon. Perry G. Wall, who evident
ly understands what he is talking
about, practically all this huge a.
mount of personal property in the
state would be placed on the tax
books, if modern, just system
were substituted for the anti
quated one under which taxes are
now assessed.

APRONS VS. SHORT
SKIRTS FOR WOMEN
EXTREME YLES ASSAILED
AND DEFENDED HERE. MIS-
REPRESENT MODEST GIRLS.

Dawson women will continue to
use their own judgment in regard to
the length of their skirts, no matter
what style makers predict, according
to statements of prominent club wo-
men of the city. In order to camou-
fage the skirts as they are said to be
planned for next season, one woman
suggested that aprons would have to
become a part of the street wear for
women.
The style committee of the Nation
al Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacture
ers' Association recommended at its
meeting in Cleveland skirts from
1920 season.
The skirt six inches from the floor
is said by one well-known woman to
be sensible length, combining good
appearance, safety and comfort. Wo-
men deviating from the bounds of
sensible dress are 'deviating from the
church, she said. "Many fine, inno-
cent young women misrepresent
themselves by the immodest, insult
able clothes they wear"
The subject of women's clothes re-
ceives altogether too much attention
from critics, according to another
one. Sensible women will wear their
skirts sensible lengths" she declared.
ever since l can remember women
have been criticised for something in
their dress-small waists, tight skirts,
tight sleeves, large hats, or high
necks. Now, perhaps, they will talk
about short skirts, but it is my opin-
ion that American women know how
to wear clothes and to wear them ac-
ceptably and will not make them
selves ridiculous. 1t is acknowledged
the world over that American women
are the best dressed"

enthusiastically endorsed by the high

the common people as ten times as
quick and effective as whiskey, rock

All drug stores are now supplied

you have to do to get rid of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half dollar for a bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls with four teaspoon
fuls of water in a glass. With your
watch in your hand, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money
back in two minutes if you cannot
feel your cold fading away like dream
within the time limit. Don t be bash
full, for all druggists invite you and
expect you to try it. Everybody's
doing it.
