"The objects of these gatherings, "
Mrs. Swingle said, are primarily con-
structive and will. in small way,
help to overcome prejudice and
spread the ideals of friendship and
good will. There is nothing to join
no dues to pay. The admission price
is one smile and they all pay it cheer
fully"
The idea started, Mrs Swingle ex-
planned, when several young men who
roomed at her home complained of
getting lonesome.
Il went out and invited all my
neighbors and friends in to spend the
evening"" she continued. I'VE had a
fine time. But why l asked myself,
should we hoard our fun selfishly?
We ought to let everybody in"
THE next Tuesday night we invited
everybody who wanted to come.

AMERICAN PEOPLE DO
NOT TAKE TO FISH DIET
BUREAU OF FISHERIES SAYS

Washington, Jan. % production
ard consumption of fishery. products,
stimulated and encouraged by govern
mental and other agencies as a wal
measure, have shown decided slump,
according to the Bureau of Fisheries.
A large under-consumption of fish,
advancing prices of labor and mater
ials and a curtailment in the export
trade the report says, have placed
many fishermen in serious situation.
AS the majority of fishermen are
small individual producers, who have
devoted their lives to their calling,
exposed to unusual hardships and
dangers, with little or no training for
a change of livelihood, the Bureau Of
Fisheries says it is important that
some measure of relief be afforded
them. 1t is endeavoring to render
the industry such aid as it can with
the exceedingly limited funds as its
disposal.
Production of fish in the first ten
months of 1920 showed falling off OF
more than 100000 pounds valued al
$6OO,OOO as compared with the same
period of 1919, according to the bu
/ reau. Many of the large New Eng
land trawlers have been tied up fol
lack of proper markets and produc.
ton of groupers on the Gulf coast has
been reduced by lack of demand in
American markets. These are repre-
sentative Of the conditions today il

TWOSTORES IN
COUNTY ROBBED
LATE NIGHT
Hardaker's Store at Galloway and
Miller's Store at Griffin Were
Entered by Burglars, and a Va
riety of Merchandise Is Missing
-Postoffice Not Molested.

Burglars last night visited the
towns of. Galloway and Griffin, a short
distance northeast of Lakeland, and
stole goods of various kinds. They
also ransacked both places for what
cash they could find, but only about
thirty dollars was found.
At Galloway the general merchan-
disc store of Alf Hardaker was en-
tered, and this morning a number OF
pairs of shoes, leather belts, flash
lights, two dozen pocketknives, and
about twenty dollars in money, were
missing. Mr.. Hardaker runs a gener-
al merchandise store and postoffice in
connection but nothing was missing
from the postoffice.
The burglars evidently then turned
their attention to the town of Griffin,
nearby, and there they entered the
dry goods and grocery store of Tom
Miller. This morning he missed a lot
OF shirts, and other articles of mer-
chandise, also a lot of groceries, along
with about nine dollars in money and
two or three hundred pennies.
Lakeland Homes Entered
The residence of Mrs. Rhoda
Hodges, 1905 South Florida avenue,
was entered some time Sunday night
and number of articles were taken,
including a silver mesh bag, a foun-
tain pen,a navyblue mackinaw, and
a lady s folding purse. One peculiar
thing about this thief was that hG
left about three dollars in cash on the
shelf close by the side of the purse,
in plain view.
AS DR.. A. E. Cline and family re-
turned to their home ,20n East Peach
tree street, Sunday night, they saw
the light burning in the rear part of
the hoose, then scorrying footsteps
were heard. Upon investigation DR..
Cline found that the thief had per-
haps just entered the house and pro-
ceeded to eat something before pilfer-
ring further through the house. II
appears that the intruder was just in
the act of enjoying a meal when the
family returned. Monday morning
DR.. Cline found three leather wallets
in the rear yard. One belonged to
Capt. VIM. Steitz, whose home was
entered on Sunday night also. The
other purses have not been identified
