her lovable disposition, charming

Her death was a shock to all who

April A, 1919.

In Pinellas county the County Com
missioners will be asked to muster
out the Home Guards. The same ac.
ton should be taken in Polk. The
conditions that called the Home
Guards into being have long passed.
The organization was formed by vol
unteers who were willing to give their
time and efforts to fit themselves for
action in casa of any wartime emer-
gency that might arise. The war is
over. These men never contemplated
performing police duty, or mixing in
local quarrels in which they person.
ally have no concern. The organiza-
ton having served its purpose, and
being no longer necessary deserves
honorable dismissal. Let the Guards
be mustered out, and every Guard be
detailed to protect his own household
only.
