The good st. Patrick. in his day,
Performed n worthy act:
He up and drove the snakes away,
With more technique than tact.
CoulS he descend from realms above
And roam about New York,
He'd find 1t reminiscent of
The good old days in Cork
The snakes he knew could never tie
The brand our village has
The kind that daily multiply
And thrive on tea and jazz.
Should he his tales Of snakes relate
We'd strive 10 hide a laugh;
For. tho the saint was wise and great,
He didn't know the half
Where'er he'd GO to dine or dance,
Or lunch, or tea. or sup

To do some cleaning up.
Could he but leave his present star,
He'd see that things were changed

 We attended the South Florida Fair at Tampa, and while there we saw many beau. tiful exhibits, such as we could never have seen in Arkansas. Our neighboring county, Pas COG, which joins Hilboro on the north, won the blue ribbon at the fair.
 Our occupation here is truck ing. We now have 8 acres of watermelons, 212 acres of tomatoes, 3 acres of beans, 2 12 acres of corn. We have culti- vated our melons and tomatoes once and We are blowing beans today.
 Our location is in the midst of a beautiful orange grove which has ripe and green fruit, also loaded with blossoms, syhich fill the air with their sweet perfume, making one think he is in the midst of a great flower garden.
 The country as a general thing is level, with great ponds scattered about, which seems that 1t would make the country very sickly, but malaria is scarcely known around here.
 The land that is not cleared Is covered in turpentine, or long leaf pine, and a few oaks hung from the bottom to the top with moss, some measuring as much as ten feet in length, which makes a very beautiful scene.

ROTAR!ANs HEAR
SPIRIT Of WEST
D. P. 0Imstead Gives Report
of Convention Held at Los
Angeles Last Month

Daniel 2. Olmstead who attended
the international convention OF Ro-
tary Clubs at Los Angeles as a dele
safe from the Perth Amboy Rotary
Club, gave the local Rotarians an
interesting and enthusiastic report
Al their weekly luncheon at the New
Iacker House today. Mr.. Olmstead
came back not only filled with the
true Rotary spirit, but thoroughly
imbued with the optimism and hos
pitality of the great West.
After giving a resume Of each
days proceedings during the con-
vention and reciting important
points brought out by the different
speakers, the trip to and from the
coast was described. especial en-
phasis being laid upon the hospital
ity shown by the Rotary Clubs in
the various cities where stops were
made. There was nothing too good
for the Rotarians and every minute
during the various stops was taker
up with sightseeing.
One of the things which impress
ed Mr. Olmstead most, he said, and
which was the keynote of his mes
sage to Perth Amboy Rotarians, was
the booster spirit shown in every
com munity. Every man in every
city through which the train passed
west of the Mississippi was a partic-
ular booster for his home town
Every town had some feature that
was claimed to be the greatest, the
grandest, the biggest. 1t got to be a
joke among the Eastern delegates
as to which of these Western towns
could outdo the other in boosting.
Mr.. Olmstead told the Perth AM
boy Rotariens that it was lesson
that Perth Amboy Rotaridns might
we'll learn. lie declared that noe one
of the places visited had anything
more to boast about than has Perth
Amboy if the people here would only
look at such features in the same
light that the Western Rotarians
look at their home features.
Some of the important points for
Rotary brought home by the local
delegate were in regard to classifi-
cation; never endorsing a movement
unless the club was prepared to get
behind it with all it's force and put
it across, and the importance of in
dividual work by the members in
stead of working as a body or or
ganization.
Before Mr.. Olmstead was called
upon IOr MS report JoHH ~ NesNei
chairman of the committee on Boy
Scouts. reported that he had met
with a similar committee OF the
Lions Club and that a plan of cam
paign had been mapped out and
needed only the approval of the two
clubs to be carried out. During the
discussion II was brought out that
it was not SO much contributions to
a campaign fund that was desired as
it was annual memberships in the
Boy Scout organization so as to
guarantee it permanent support.
The next meeting of the club will
take the form of a clambake at
Soldiers Beach. The Rotarians VIII
meet at noon Wednesday at the
Packer House and at 1915 o'cock
they will start for Soldiers.
