CLOSING SESSION
NEWSPAPER MEN
LIVE AND FUNNY
Two Important Contests Decided
At Saturday Afternoon
Meeting

The Saturday afternoon session of
the South Florida Press Association
was up to the mark of the previous
sessions in interest and somewhat
beyond it in attendance.
The first number was an address
by Willis Powell, of Tavares, secre-
tary of the Lake County Chamber of
Commerce, who spoke on The Tour
list Outlook for the Season, and What's
to Be Done About it," Mr.. Powell
said that Florida must prepare for a
great influx of tourists this season
He felt that Polk county especially
needed a little talking to" on the
matter of the many disfiguring signs
on trees, posts and fences along the
highways, especially those extolling
patent medicines, which he says from
their multiplicity would lead tourists
to think the locality very unhealthful.
He states that people who put up
these signs pay no taxes or rent and
have no claim on the use of the high
ways, and that in Lake county these
signs are torn down as soon as
erected.
The beauty contest between Thorn
dyke and Triplett on the one hand
and RUDE Allyn and M. M. Lee on
the other, proved to be highly enter.
tanning. Miss Josephine Drane, Misa
Deneise Franklin and Miss Marjorie
Hetherington sat in the Judges seats
and, one after another, the four con.
testants took the center of the floor
and implored the young ladies' to give
earnest consideration to their claims
for beauty. The audience was not
backward about Offering suggestions
and motions. 1t was rather thought
that Mr.. Triplett was unduly dressed
up for the occasion and that Rube AL
lyn's "bobbed hair and rolled hose"
gave him an unfair advantage, to say
nothing of his flow of tender sratory,
but, after all, no one was ruled out,
and the judges gave the first prize,
dainty vanity case, to Thorn and
Trip, while the second prize, an at
tractive horn, was given to "Rube and
Lee"
nj. F. Hetherington, d. B. Mckay
and Arthur Green were judges In the
front page contest. Their decision
was that the Lake Wales Highlander
was entitled to the prize with the
the Florida Advocate of Wauchula re
ceiving honorable mention as close
seconds. j. E. Worthington, editor
of the Lake Wales Highlander, was
presented with handsome desk blot
ter and Eversharp pencil, as a re
ward.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, the South Florida Press
Association at Lakeland, Florida, Oct

in manner unique, pleasant and sat

Be it resolved, that the utmost
