perity was never better because the

prices of everything is well under

goes on to say "The retailer who is

go profits to meet the expectations
of patient public which wrestled
with high prices for three long
years. The producers of all classes
of goods to keep their workmen en-
ployed and not break up their or

little or no profit for the time be-

The most important question be-
fore, Miami today is the waterfront
development. To make Miami port
of call is big thing and it means
that Miami will be a metropolis
when this result is attained. Of course
the government will have to help in
deepening the channel but that
is only one part of the problem as
we now have deep enough water to
take good size boats and have
regular service from here to Bimini,
Nassau and Havana but we have as
pirations for South American, Europ-
can and African trade. There is
now move on foot to get the city
to buy all the land available near
the municipal docks against the
future need for more docks; yacht
basin will have to be dredged out
and city park from Sixth to
Twelfth Streets is being planned.
Tentative plans are made for build
ing another pier north of the present
one and providing slip 225 feet wide
and a thousand feet deep. Getting
ready to be a deep sea port requires
much planning and big expenditure
of money but that way lies prosper
ity for Miami:
Another little matter which has
been engaging Miamians' attention
is the invitation which has now been
sent to Presidert-elect Harding to
make Miami, the longest place of So
journ when visiting the south. |
Hundreds of Ohioans have signed the :
invitation, which the Miami Herald |
has prepared and which was sent |
out Monday. 1t ought to warm any
mans heart to have such an appreci-
ative invitation issued by fellow
Ohioans.
Some folk have nothing to do but
complain. We have had two ex-
periences along that line. This
mornings paper was full of dole
full tale of a man who can't enjoy |
his jit ride nor the Band Concerts
because the horrid men will smoke
in both places. The city council is
also deluged with complaints from
those light sleepers whose nightly
slumbers are disturbed by the whir
of planes circling the city. Some
of these planes like to bother the
yachtnien by seeing how near they
can swoop down to the yacht with
out hitting. And we will have to
admit that the whir of the plane
motor doesn't improve the Band
concerts altho we have sent in no
complaint The council is consider
ing certain prohibitions among them
being the prohibition of stunt flying
over the city, the restriction of
hours for flying, no flying near che
Park during concerts. And maybe
no flying at all over the city only on
ouSil ONNdSiOlio do JllC hldyOi may
issue special permits for. Of course,
they do crash once in a while but we
have surprisingly few accidents and
it does seem as if it would be rather
difficult to enforce these restrictions
until such a time as we have a
regular air patrol.
The Delta Kappa Epsilon Society,
which passed through this city last
week on their way to their con-
vention in Havana liked the city so
well that many of them are making
a real stay-over on their return trip.
The "Dekes" travelled on a special
train and there were two hundred of
them. They would have made an
official stop here but they had TOO
many undergraduates with them to
risk the delay in getting back to
college. And their 1922 convention
will be held here and then they can
really see the town.
Weather is unusually warm for
January but it's about perfect
weather, at that
