This situation certainly in strong contrast with what
said to prevail in Toledo and other large Cities where
soup houses for the susencnce of the unemployed

the shutting down Of mills unemployment for the
hands, and unemployment means starvation. Here,
there is no enforced dlenes If all else fails, the land
is open and few months labor will bring its reward
in at least the means of sustaining life Florida farmers

INTIMATE D|SCOURSEs.

Wonder what's the matter with the
roosters this winter? They seem to
be growing more than usual Either
that, or their growing is more notice
able on account of business bling so
quiet. In some towns the residents
have become so pestered with the
Growing Of early-morning fowls that
they have held meetings and adopted
resolutions condemning incessant
rooster-crowing and calling it a nuis-
ance. One of the hardest things city
official can be called upon to do is to
prevent a rooster from growing. 1t
is not only embarrassing but morti-
flying to some of the rooster-owners
but what can they do? If they had
any way of knowing when a rooster
is going to crow maybe they could
yell at him and tell him not to do it,
as it is violation of Ordinance No
973. But who knows when rooster
is about to croY. l doubt if even the
rooster himself knows one minute be-
forehand.
And another thing-any person who
has an idea of running or Mayor,
city commissioner, chief of police, or
even wants job as policeman, just
as well get it INTO his mind right now
that if elected he is going to be put
UP against one problem that has new
er been solved to the satisfaction Of
all. That is the chicken proposition
where person has chickens and his
neighbor garden. Chickens and
gardens do not mix. Neither do
neighbors after the chickens get over
into the garden. This is one of the
Oldest unanswered questions in the
whole world. Ordinances ten feet
long may be passed but just so long
IS there are gardens, the chickens
lext door orr across the street are
going to remain blind to all laws and

And the owner of the chickens may
argue in all earnest with them, and
may plead in the tenderest and most
sincere tones to his chickens, in an
effort to induce them to refrain from
