Turkey and cranbeTries and mince
pies and plum pudding and such nice
things as are set before one during
Christmas week are mighty fine. l
like them, and some people may be
able to partake Of them every day in
the year, but for me--nothng doing.
Along about the third day after
Christmas when the white meat first
disappears, then the dark, and finally
turkey hash has been served and the
frame of the old bird resembles the
steel structure of a sky-scraper, ! be
gin to have longing for turnip greens
and ham hook.
OF course, l don't claim to be able
to afford the usual Christmas menu
all the year round, and you may con-
ciude that I would have to return 10
the turnip greens diet anyway, but
getting back to turnip green's after
Christmas is about like returning
home after a fine summers outing.

and, like all of the boys connected

him out fishing this morning. as these
boys who come out from Tulsa seem
determined to catch up all OF the fish
in the gulf and it's tributaries.
The northern end of California isn't
continually fighting the southern
part Of the state. The entire popula-
lion of that western commonwealth is
united in pulling for the state, but it
seems that the editors OF the several
sections Of Florida cannot see the ad-
vintage Of working for the state as
whole.
col. Robert W. Davis. editor Of the
Sun, has the following to
saw to the editor of the Palm Beach
Post about his discomfort:
