Moving Telephone Pole

To accommodate the building Of a
highway between two eastern cities
the local telephone company recently
performed the remarkable feat Of NOV
ing its entire pole line of 40 poles ten
feet to one side without cutting cir
cult or interrupting service on any of
the wires. The work was done by six
men In two gangs, with five pole jacks
for lifting the poles from their holes,

says:
"What I don't like about base
ball today--and I'm on the level
when I say it's that there are
too many dollars and too many
automobiles in the game.
"They don't sharpen their
spikes on the bench any more

The moths and butterflies are many
and beautiful. The zebra butterfly
(Heliconius charitonius) is the only
representative of its family in the Uni
ted States; it has such an unpleasant
taste that insectivorous birds will not
eat it. The mosquitoes are many, but
do not communicate disease to human
beings.
The fishes are many and some OF
them are rare and curious. The Dig

In southern Florida. many we'll

represented by varieties or subspecies
unite distinct from the typical forms
occurring farther north. Thus we have
the Florida quail, Florida crow, Flor

a1r of which are essentially Floridian
and the Florida wild turkey, which
IS fast disappearing. One of the most
beautiful birds, tropical species now
fast disappearing from Florida and
occurring nowhere else in the United
States, except in Texas, is the roseate
spoonbill (Ajaia ajaja).

1899 and became their captive.

Anyway, to the Florida State Fedora
tion of the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs is due the fact that
Paradise key is now Royal Palm State

an island III the Everglades. There
has long been an appreciation of Para
disc key by discriminating nature
lovers and spasmodic efforts had been
made previous to 1915 to get the
Florida legislature to set 1t aside as
a state park. Then the federated club
women of Florida took hold in earnest,
under the leadership of Mrs. w. S.
Jennings, president of the state fed
Grafton. The club women made an
aggressive campaign and in 1915 the
legislature set aside the key, together
with an adjacent area Of swampland,
as public park. This, with an addi-
tional tract afterward donated. has
received the name Of Royal Palm State

gases from forming in stomach and

help the appetite and cake away the
hot-weather, feverish, thirsty feeling
from mouth and stomach, becsuse it
takes up the excess acids, poisons and

Of the trouble is removed, there can
