pretend to like stunt flying. If they
really do enjoy them, then we are not
so far away from the Roman who
liked the Arena sports and gladiatorial
combats.
We still have with us some noted
and nearly noted folk We have
Amos R E Pinchot of Progressive
fame. He is really big man and
stands for progress along all lines,
even those of politics. Then again
we have Miner Lee Bates, president
of Hiram College of Hiram, Ohio.
While we don't know so very much
about Hiram college, it has good
sensible name and might be connect
ed with agricultural subjects we
should think, if we didn't know that
it is straight academic. And better
known than the other two, possibly,
Miss Billie Burke (Mrs Florenz Zieg
field who is just down on little
vacation.
Changing the subject again: Mr. and
Mrs Bryan became members Of the
local Presbyterian church on Sunday,
taking their letters from Lincoln.
And the tourist class in the Park
will meet just this following Sunday
to adjourn until December 5th.
Thousands of persons go to hear
Bryan every Sunday and this is one
of the few Sunday School classes
which can be adjourned for the sum-
mer without suffering in attendance
with the opening of the winter
season.
We have been told that the 'glades
would produce sugar in quantities so
that we would be less dependent on
Cuban sugar if we developed our own
resources. The Pennsylvania Sugar
Company have been working on this
theory and last week one hundred
pounds of refined white sugar rolled
out the mill in the Everglades. Of
course this is only a beginning but
what can be done with one hundred
pounds can be done in the million
pound ratio and it is not too much
to say that the 'glades may yet be-
come the sugar bowl of the nation.
At least, that is what we are all hop
ing for now that sugar has actually
been turned out the finished product
We notice that the Stillman
divorce case is occupying New York
ers somewhat. 1t isn't bothering US
much only as we go over the Cause

at anchor near the terminal of the
Causeway.
We are getting busy to get into
shape for deeper water when it does
come. Mr. Murray, last Saturday,
presented to the city council, a copy
of the permit, which he had just
received as city. engineer, for treb-
ling the capacity Of the present
municipal docks, which the war de-
partment has approved. TIE city has
voted to bond for 100000 to carry
out this work. This plan includes
pier 1000 feet in length and So feet
wide. North Of this pier there will
be a slip 200 feet wide and 20 feet
deep and north of that there will be
additional space for docks and rail
road tracks. We are really planning
to be city of hundred thousand |
when this waterfront improvement |
is completed
Meanwhile we have had a fair, a |
county fair, like we used to have I'D |
north. We had a cattle show con-
nected with it, a poultry show and /
an automobile show Now the cattle, |
poultry and automobiles were much
like we get north. The sewing and
fancy work, We imagine not so much
different, but the vegetable and
fruit display along with the flowers
were entirely different from what
you get north. For instance prizes
were awarded for the "best boy of
best half box King oranges,
Oneco tangerines, tangelo-, Kun
quots, Valencia oranges, Lou Gin
Gong oranges, pineapple 0. anges,
lemons, avocades, papayas, grape
fruit. The vegetables had Chinese
cabbage, egg plant, occer, sappodila.
etc" The flowers were in full
bloom and made the Hall an attrac-
tive place as they were in with the
exhibits.
The season is waning but the crowd
is still here to great extent. We
will be here another three weeks at
least before starting for the north
ourselves.
