The M0sf Dignitied De-
Lucrative Body on Earth

To one in close touch with life at
the National Capital there is always
much to be seen and heard that is
both interesting and amusing. Hon
Hell bert j. Drane, Congressman from
this district of Florida, has seemingly
an inexhaustible fund of anecdotes
and "reminiscences which he has gath.
cred during long period of life in
an official capacity in Tallahassee
and later at Washington. Seated on
/ the broad veranda of his hotel at
Fort Myers few night ago, while
chatting with the writer and several
Others, among other amusing anec-
dotes he related the following:
! Going one day to the gallery of the
Senate Chamber with visiting friend
who was seeing the sights of Wash
ington, they were seated but short
time when a stranger on the right
evinced a sudden interest in the new
corners.
Strangers in these parts?' in
quired he.
Somewhat" responded Mr.. Drane.
I'll point out to you some of the CO.
lebrities, said the laxative one. See
that man over there? That's Gore
the blind Senator from Oklahoma"
Thank YOU" said Drane.
See that little man with the high
pompadour? That's Senator La Fol
lette OF Wisconsin. That gentleman
over here with gray hair and mus.
tache; he's Senator Fletcher from
Florida"
Again Mr.. Drane thanked his in
formant
DO you know" remarked the talk
alive stranger impressively, that this
is the most dignified deliberative
body in the world?"
Mr.. Drane looked down upon the
floor of the Senate and noting the
general confusion-one Senator talk
ing, others reading or chatting among
themselves, and many leaving the
room, replied, mo, sir, this is not
the most dignifed deliberative body
in the world. Someone must have
told you that and you are simply re-
peating what you have heard"
The laxative stranger demurred
somewhat at this statement, but Mr..
Drane continued, Somebody told you
that when you were little boy. You
believed it and are only repeating
what you heard. They told me the
same thing when was youngster,
but have since learned differently.
II you want to know what is really
the most dignified deliberative body
on earth, can tell you, for / once !
had the distinguished honor to pre.
side over it."
And what is it?" inquired the now
astonished stranger.
"The Florida State Senate" replied
Mr. Drane in that body" contin.
led he, Senatorial courtesy requires
that one pay close attention to fel.
low member when speaking. while
here in the United States Senate
courtesy demands, when another
member is speaking, that you either
leave the room or pay no attention to
what he is saying"
The laxative stranger subsidized
1onplussed, for one of his cherished
traditions had been shattered.

turns which l have received | appear
to have the lead as a candidate for
attorney general over next highest
opponent, Mr.. Billingsley, on first

Ocala day at the Marion County Fair
be also Homecoming day, on which all
in the county who once lived in the
city be invited to come in and revisit
their town friends and old home
scenes. We think it is a good idea
but would like to broaden it to include
a.! former residents of Marion coun-
ty, who we might try to call back to
their old home from their new ones
ali over the United States and other
parts Of the world. 1t is not likely
that all or half. or a quarter, or even
a tenth would come. But if even one
i'll a dozen or twenty needed the call,
it would bring considerable number,
and all who received invitations would
be gratified thereby and feel their
hearts swell with love for the old
homeland. If this pleasant custom
was inaugurated at the coming fair
and kept up. it would not be many
years before hundreds were focking
in where perhaps a score or two may
come next November. Why not give
TIE proposition trial?

CRITICISM ON THE CANDIDATE

The New York Tribune, the most
outspoken and representative of re-
publican papers, says:

Republics are still ungrateful. Leon
ard Wood, who is one of the great
men of America and destined to live
in history, has been defeated for a
presidential nomination by a group

welt was four years ago, and more
recently Clemenceau was denied the
presidency of France. We had hoped
that man of undoubted courage,
vision and executive ability would be
chosen, but we have instead Warren

ton. 1t would be hypocritical for the
Tribune to pretend it is satisfied with
this result.
On the other hand, we believe IN
the republican party, we believe in
republican principles. We believe in

is well thought out. progressive and
constructive document. We are more
than pleased with the nomination of
Calvin Coolidge, who has an inspiring
record and who shows real promise of
still greater accomplishments.

SHOWER FOR MISS HAYCRAFT

The miscellaneous shower yester-
day afternoon at which Mrs c. p.
Tydings was the hospitable and
charming hostess, complimenting
Miss Ethel Haycraft. beautiful and
talented 5ride-elect of the 22nd of
this month and whose engagement 20

several weeks ago. was one of the
most elegant and elaborate affairs

The front porch and the entire
lower floor Of this home, which is 50
advantageously arranged for all en-

attractive yesterday in simple but ex-

agus fern, which ornamented the
chandeliers, mantels, tables, etc, to-
gether with quantities of nasturtiums
and daisies made a most inviting
aspect.
Mrs. c. r. Tydings Jr. and Mrs
Harry Walters cordially met the
guests at the front steps and received
the different articles for the shower,

This paper, among many others, has
had occasion to allude to the enor-
nous amount of useless literature
sent out by the United States govern
ment to the various newspapers of
the country. Thousands of tons of
paper have been wasted on this form
of propaganda, the most of which has
found its way to the editorial waste
baskets when received by the news
papers. All of which leads to the
question who pays for the publica-
tions issued by the state marketing
bureau? Frequently, in the mail there
come bulletins from that organiza-
tion which, so far as can be seen have
not the slightest reference to mar
keting products in Florida, and Que
would suppose that to be the exclus-
i've function of the marketing board.
A four-page typewriter bulletin was
received at this office from the state
marketing bureau yesterday. They
contained twenty-five items, having
not the remotest connection with
Florida marketing, just such items as
can be culled from the miscellaneous
columns of the newspapers, every day,
and which are not at all enlightening
to the man who is looking for a
place in which to sell his beans or
hogs. And the question. who pays
for it becomes pertinent when the
fact is taken into consideration that
it must have taken a clerk some time
to dig out this stuff, typewrite it, en-
close it in an envelope and direct it,
to say nothing of the cost of paper
and postage-Miami Herald.
We have reason to believe the next
legislature will cut this waste off.

1t is great fun to steal watermel-
ons-many a one of the luscious ovals
have we wrenched from it's vine, in
the dark of the moon and some other
fellows field, and then enjoyed it's
juicy meat in the shadow of the near
est tree. So we have a soft place in
our heart for melon swipers. But
when a little boy, barely within his
teens, has worked hard for months
to raise a few score melons from
which he expects to obtain some hon.
est dollars, to apply to useful pur-
pose, and bunch of bigger boys,
most of them amply able to buy all
the melons they want, slip in at night
and take the fruits of his toll, we
can't see it as other than plain steal
ing. 1t is also likely to give little
boy ideas about bigger boys that will
cause him to be very suspicious of
men when he grows up.

The most vivid colors appear in street
clothes as we'll as those for indoor
wear. The dress sketched shows
green and blue striped taffeta COM
bned with plain navy blue, the lat
ter being used for the plated under
skirt and slightly fitted bodice.
from navy blue taffeta used in con-
nection with green and black striped
taffeta. The striped silk forms tun-
ic which is hung over very finely
plated blue underskirt.
The color combinations in cotton
frocks are even more striking than
those in the silks. 1t is interesting to
study some of these because cotton
! dresses will play a very important
part In the fashionable summer ward
robe Their use will not be confined
to the country; we will wear them in
town as well; in fact, almost any place
| where a simple silk or cloth frock has
been worn in other years.
Bold Patterns and High coIorings.
Some of the latest novelties in cot
tons show combination of the eponge
and wolfe weaves. These are in bold
patterns as well as In high colorings.
One well-known house is showing a
charming dress developed in copper
color, beige and black. printed and
woven in conventional design.
Another instance in which startling
colors are used in a cotton frock APP
pears in model of cotton eponge in
navy blue combined with French blue
wolfe in black and white paided de-
sign with roses embroidered in high
colors. The fact that this model has
proved itself a popular one goes to
show that no color combination Is TOO
startling to find favor these days.
The care which great designer

/ fashions are becoming. She makes
one charming dress with Skin, of

USE OF COLOR IN THE HOME
Tints Attractive In Clothes Are Not
to Be Spurned for Interior
Decoration.

The average woman falls to realize
how color alters the appearance of her
home. Indeed, she Is almost afraid 10
use II except in few set schemes of
the crudest sort. Though in her dress,
in her embroidery. in the hat she is
trimming. she may use 1t freely and
often with originality, yet in her
house decoration she Is too timid to
attempt any but the most common
place arrangements.
The high cost of labor and the dis
comfort of the necessary domestic up
heavals may be partly accountable,
but perhaps now that she has learned
how to paper room and Is not afraid
of paint brush she will not be dis
couraged from experimenting.
