KEY WEST COMES INTO HER OWN

When, during a terrific blizzard in New Eng
land last February Key West graciously offered
its top-notch brand of -all-winter" wealth
wire and by mail, strong links of esteem and
friendship were forged which the flood of
anti-Florida propaganda has not weakened.
The serious novelty of that wholly fair and
honorable advertising stunt has effected the per-
sonnet of the railway publicity departments, as
witness the recent publication in issues of The
Citizen of a striking two-coumn advertisement an
nouncing for the first time known along the keys
first-cass round trip tickets between Key West
and Boston, gateway to the summer playground
of New England"
This advertisement deserves more than pass
ing mention; it is noteworthy. The Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad in connection with the Flagler Sys-
tenn had on daily sale round trip tickets between
Key West and Boston, well Key West and
New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Atlantic
City. What does this mean? 1t means that for
the initial time Key West at the extreme southern
tip of the nation has been doing things that have
so attracted the attention of travellers that the
railroads have been called upon to give information
to inquirers. Inquirers are potential customers.
The railroad advertising men know this. Therefore
opportunity has been seized to extend the hand
of our Island City to the world at large.
And it is made just easy to buy round
trip ticket between any of the other cities and Key
West. Hence, mutual helpfulness; opportunity
for increased friendliness. The Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad is distinctly Sin right" 1t has de-
veloped line of thought; it is suggesting in
its very captivating advertisement that the of
better feeling between the North and Florida can
find through this railroad yet another channel along
which to flow

MORONS
tickets on sale daily"

A word that you frequently hear in modern
discussion, but which you may not be able to find
in your dictionary if it was compiled quite
Der of years ago, is moron" To hear
cynical people talk you would think that about half
of the people of the United States were morons
AS correctly defined moron is a mentally
deficient person above the imbece class, who
needs care and supervision for his own protection
and that of the public.
Some of the children who are unable to keep
up in grammar schools are morons, although they
may be doing the best they can under existing con-
dtions There said to be several hundred
thousand of them in this country
While many people will do things that seem
iitied only to moron intelligence, yet it does not
necessarily follow that because young person can
not keep up in school, such one is a moron. That
child may be thoroughly competent in many ways
But with the class the mental deficiency in
wolves lack of perception that is much below
the average.
The failure of the community to give proper
care to these young people has been one of the
most serious mistakes of our social system in past
years. Most of them are capable of doing good
honest work along certain simple lines. What is
needed is to show them how to do that work, and
to help them to form fixed habits of industry and
then they may need to be placed in homes or in
stitutions where they will be looked after Prob
ably most of them would become useful members
Of society if they had the right kind of training and
care
The community long ago learned to look af-
ter people who are deficient in health in hospitals,
but it seemed to have the idea that many of those
who were deficient in brain power could look after
themselves, which unfortunately is not usually the
case

TREE BEAUTY

Tricky settled cities and towns can not have
the wild beauty of the open country, but any of
them can have marvellous display of beauty along
their home streets by the cultivation of fine shade
trees Many cities have become famous as the re-
suit of the wonderful beauty of their trees.
Paris, for instance. not merely is a wonder
full city in its historical and artistic sights but it
has remarkable physical beauty through its fine
horse chestnut trees and those who visit that city
when those trees are in bloom viii net forget that
touch of beauty
Many Of the older American towns are noted
for their graceful elms which point to heaven ike
gothic arch. Florida and California for their
uxurant palms, California fer its study eucalyptus
etc. Every city might well specialize on some fine
variety Of trees which shall give that tovvn dis:

Reading Burnham's The Normal Mind re-
Gently came upon paragraphs which we

Riggs has formulated an excellent code of
rules in substance as follows:
BE efficient in what you do =. In short, do
not drive your tacks with sledge hammer. There
is better less fatigung way. Find out how easily
you can do things we'll and take pride in such
skill
DO not accept hurry as necessary part of
modern life. Quality of work. not quantity,
spells success and quality is destroyed by hurry.
The worst enemy Of efficiency, as well as the
best ally Of nervousness is worry Worry is a
complete circle of inefficient thought whirlng
about pivot of fear To avoid it, consider first
whether the problem in hand is actually your bust

business now.
Lastly, to svoid breaks in character, breaks

good conscience because he was hon

that it makes my blood boil to

1t is evidence that the Santa Fe
Railroad company was willing to pay

which they have never fulfilled. It
is evidence that my activities were

was large to Doebler and small to
