The State of Florida is going to be just that-and no more-if public spirited citizens of the peninsula have their way This business of abbreviating the name of the State to Fla, as the postal department approves, or even the more modern and approved-by-t -the-State form of Flo, will walk the plank if it can be accomplished.
 "The name," one resident holds. means land of flowers, and we are going to see that it is expressed fully so far as it is in our power to do Iit."
 An active campaign to attain the end is being conducted by civic or ganizations throughout the State. Schools are being enlisted ill the movement.
 Not long ago Federal Prohibition Commissioner Roy w. Haynes came South to put in some good nails where rust had eaten under the pro- hibition lid. In the course of his journeyings and investigations he eventually landed in Atlanta and was the guest of honor at banquet.
 Governor Thomas w. HardWick also was guest at this banquet, and he made a few remarks, the gist of which left Mr. Haynes murmuring my word" or something like that. Governor Hardwick, who even then was packing his things in prepara tion for deserting the executive man sion in favor of his successor, took the occasion to express the opinion that the State prohibition laws of Georgia are too severe.
 In this State, the Governor pointed out, man goes to jail if he is found with even a gill of liquor in his pos session. He suggested that the law be revised to agree with provisions of the Volstead Act.

WHO is BOSS
AT YOUR HOUSE?

If we are to re-establish the old
fashioned home with the old-fash-
toned mother and father, we must
reconstruct the old-fashioned fam
lily circle.
We hear fathers and mothers
say they can not control their
daughters or sons, and then ask
where the trouble lies.
The fault is too often with the
parent and not the child. Insis-
tence of absolute obedience and re-
spect for parental authority seems
to be a thing of the past. A lack
of firmness and absence of de-
termination on the part of the par
ent of today, is the reason given
by a very wise and yet gentle
Americas parent.
The trouble can not be remed-
led by parent-teacher association,
Sunday school teachers or others.
1t is up to the parents.
A news dispatch recently stated
that the Parent-Teachers associ-
alton of a Pennsylvania city pc
titioned its school board to adopt
a uniform style of dress for all
school girls, which would bar silk
hose, short skirts, bodied hair,
low neck and sleeveless dresses.
But-the flapper contingent,
hearing of the meeting, stormed it.
Their verbal protest, delivered in
ryme, was as short and snappy as
the dress and manner of The flap
perette who delivered it:
81 can show my shoulders,
Il can show my knees;
"I'm a free-born American.
And | show what l please"
Bobbed hair doesn't shock us in
the least, neither does the lip stick
or other paraphernalia now carried
in the ever-present carry-all. We
are used to them all, And to be
perfectly honest about it, we pre-
fer silk stockings to cotton.
But the thing that has literally
floored US is these furs in the
summer time. That's just one step
too far.
Seriously, however, the big ques-
ton is not styles in hair dress or
hose, but the establishment of
the family circle, where all these
questions can be settled by father
and mother and not by outsiders.
If you really want to know
whether your home circle is what
it should be, ''just start something
and see whose boss in your home. !"
That will answer that question.

is hoped, moreover, that he will

What the majority of the peo-

THEY ARE
COMING HOME.

Manufacturing is slowing a bit
in the East and North. The de-
mand for labor is not so insistent
as it was a few short months ago.
And the first to suffer are the
negroes who rushed North for the
IS and 81 and SO jobs that were
being handed out, according to the
reports that came south.
The first chill already has been
felt in the air. The longing for
southern skies is beginning to be-
cloud the rose-colored horizon of
the spring.
To many negroes the bubble has
burst and from now on we shall
see them drifting back to Gods
country, where it never is quite so
cold, nor yet so hot; where he is
understood and where he can live.
even where he can live, even when
times are hard. The following we
clip from the Townsville Times
Enterprise:
Tom jenkins came back to
Thomasville recently after
spending six months in the East.
he had very interesting exper-
fence but he says now that he
came back because he found out
after trying it for a sufficient
time, that he was better off
here than anywhere else.
He spent a time at Detroit
and worked for big wages, find
ing that it cost him more to live
than he was making, he went to
Toledo and then to Akron and
then Cincinnati and it was the
same in every instance. He got
high wages but he didn't find it
possible to be- even fairly com
Portable on the wages he did get.
Conditions were against him. He
was without friends and didn't
take the atmosphere. He came
back home and says he has been
cured Of any more of this mi
grafton business.
Tom is a negro, a fine worker
80 one intelligent enough to
want to better himself if pos
sible. He didn't make any great
hurry about going but he tried it
out and came back perfectly sat
isfied that he is in the best
place in the world. There are
lot more that will follow Toms
example within a short time, he
says for all Of them will want
to get back before winter sets in
if they know what's good for
them and their families,
