STAGING A CARNIVAL AT FORT
MYERS

The Fifty Thousand Club, an organ
ization composed of enthusiastic
boosters and having as its slogan: ITO
see that you and pleasure meet in
Fort Myers" will on February %. the
anniversary of Washington's birthday,
stage a monster celebration or regatta,
under the title of Water Carnival"
The Carnival, which is declared to be
the biggest thing of it's kind ever held,
or even contemplated, in any Florida
city. will be participated in by promi-
nent yachtsmen and boat owners from
various parts of the United States,
many of whom have boats in Florida
waters and are coming here for that
occasion and viii enter their boats in
one or more OF the various events,
which are being arranged for every
kind and class of boat
There will be speed races. in which
some real speed demons will compete,
and there will of course be events for
other classes as well, these including
cruisers and lesser craft Indeed, no
kind of boat whose owner cares to
enter it will be ibarred, and If there
should be a proposed entry for which
there has been no classification, pro-
vision will be made for il. There will
also be races for guide boats, row
boats, canoes, and, in fact, for any

In addition to the races there will
be numerous water sports. These will

BETTER THAN A HORSE SHOE

A farmer l know nailed a horse shoe
over the door to his hen house, and
then went to work to make the biggest
kind of fz8le OF the poultry bust
ness. That horse shoe never made a
single hen lay more eggs: 1t had no
effect in keeping the hen house clean;
1t did not help the man to make better
sales for his eggs. What is more, it
never will. if he keeps it there until
kingdom come. unless he backs up his
horse shoe with better service for his
hens.
1t is alright to nail old horse shoes
up round the farm. In the makeup of
n great many of us, there is something
of superstition, say what we will; but
don't you think it would be just as well
TO put bit more of snap into our
business and use the old horse shoe on
the old mare? / once heard a man
say he had driven one of his horses
over the country roads hunting for a
certain office till the shoes on her feet
wore as thin as a knife blade. He
got the office.

determination to win. That's what
counts. If you rely on a bit OF steel

right past your door and it won't stop
till it reaches the farm of the man
that says, You may nail up your shoes

mine out racing for luck!" And he will
get 1t too; for good luck never beats
the man OF grit. grace and gumption
when they set out for a race, no matter
how much OF a handicap the man may
have in the beginning.

GIRLS

The subject of girls, which has en-
gagged the attention of the human
race off and on for several hundred
thousand years, is discussed now with
particular earnestness.
Girls have a way of alarming their
elders. What are they coming to?
bite ladies, observing Ruth chatting
with a young man just arrived from
Bethlehem, probably voted that she
was bold creature. &C.,,
A male officer OF the Camp Fire
Girls says that the trouble with the
girls of today is their surroundings.
They have no work to do, 50 they
live at a tremendous speed. He knew
q girl of 10 years 50 blase that motion
pictures no longer interested her. He
believes that parents are responsible
for the bobbed hair and cigarettes of
girlhood.
The Chicago Board of Education
and remember that Chicago is now
the home of all culture-has looked
into the girl problem and condemned
shimmy dances, short skirts, low
necks, joy riding and cigarettes. But
the board says 1t can do nothing unless
the parents help.
A piper from Scotland, after LOOK
ing at the modern girls costume, de-
clared that the lasses were harder
than the killed Highlander.
What's to ibe done about it all?
Nothing. except whatever the parents
of the girls decide to do. All the out

Bobbed hair is a fleeing phase. The
girls viii abandon it when they see
how plain 1t makes them. The SHIN

proof that they have adopted them

THE FLOWERS OF DAWN.

What tender touch has turned the

It is the dawn. clear as a dafodi
Standing a-tiptoe on yon distant hill
And heaping roses with the mounting

From out the banks of dawn fall glis-

The lofty armament with light, until
The heaven blossoms like ethereal bow
What though the grip OF winter on the
land
Enfolds the vale and crowns the hill

what Happened In The House Next
Door.
Never, in all my sheltered, common
place life, have experienced such a
romantic thrill as I did when the
steaIthy knock sounded upon the door
of the mysterious room lined with
women's costumes into which Lillian
Underwood had ushered Katherine
Sonnet and me through the secret pas
sage from her library to the adjoining
house. 1t was a passage I had not
known was there, a passage of whose
existence I was certain no member of
her household even dreamed.
I realized, OF course by this time,
as Katherine must have also that Lii
lians brilliant brain. he wonderful
energy and resourcefulness must be
enlisted in the secret service Of her
country, realized also that this service
must be a matter of years. That She

NOT LIKELY TO BE CAUGHT

The vision of sS6o,oo0 hidden in a
secret pocket of a portmanteau failed
to make Jim Beckett of Toledo, regis
ter any undue emotion. He did not
spill any coffee in his haste to get
action. If the prisoner in the Spanish
debtors Jail had known that Jim Beck
EFT was an ex-marine and an ex-ser-
geant to boot, he would probably have
addressed his mysterious message to
some less hard-boiled person.
Beckett recently showed members
of his American Legion post note
from Madrid, Spain, addressed to
deceased uncle. The writer, who signed
himself "R de S." and who explained
that he was in jail, purported to be
the owner Of baggage held by. the reg
istrar of courts. He stated that two
ckecks, payable to bearer, totalling
$3.50, 900, were contained in a secret
pocket of his portmanteau, and offer
ed to give the recipient of his letter
one-third share, or $4,000, if he
would pay the court costs. Beckett is
asked to cable a friend of the impris-
ened man for further information. This
he has done, and on the receipt of the
reply will turn over papers to the au-
thorities. Meantime the former SER
geant is not building any castles in
Spain.
A recent despatch from Paris warns
against the recurrence of an "old
Spanish prison swindle," and lays the
blame on the connivance of corrupt
Spanish police officials. What princi-
pally interests the imperturable Beck
EFT is the signature, "R. de s., which
he says stands for Roll dem Sphe-
roids.'
