Cy Adams Says:

There's only one way to get expert
ence
Few of us get what we are worth
in this world-there isn't money
enough.
Every man has right to his own
opinion-so long as he recognizes this
fact.
One hundred persons who cannot
sing solos often make splendid
chorus The blending of such voices
is often most effective.
An evasion is sometimes more tact
full than definite answer.
Human labor is the most expensive
power in the world
Profits may be increased by select
ing blood that has been trained TO
convert feeds into meat, milk, work,
and wool.

seems to be gone as completely as
II he had vanished from the earth.
His friends and relatives can't
imagine what has happened to him.
They have no reason to suspect

q victim, and inquiry at the local
hospitals revealed that he had not
been found suddenly and seriously

ENcE HELD IN NEW YORK

Paul Boysen. contractor of this
city and member Of the board of
trustees Of the Monroe water dis
rtict, has returned from an ex-
tended trip on which he visited a
number of states and points of
interest in the east and north.
Mr.. Boysen, while in New York.
attended all the conferences held
with the j. G. White corporation
and that firms New York bankers
relative to the proposed fresh
water supply pipe line from the
mainland. These conferences, he
said, continued through eleven
days and were regularly attended
by himself, Capt. G.. d. Stearns,
Senator VIM. H. Malone and others
from this county. No definite
agreement with the White people
was reached, however, and Mr..
Boysen says he is unable to say
what viii be the ultimate outcome
Of these negotiations.
On his way back through New
York. however, Mr., Boysen thinks
that he ran across firm that will
be glad to consider laying the pipe
line and would do SO under very
favorable terms He visited the
offices Of the Gillespie Company.
z Dye street, and found the mem
bcrs of the firm very much inter-
ested in the proposition and are
preparing a tentative contract or
proposal, which should arrive in
Key West in the very near future.
and may open up the way for the
laying of the pipe line upon more
favorable terms and conditions
than had been con- emplated by the
trustees and citizens in general.
Mr.. Boysen had the pleasure of
calling on Harry Boyajian. at his
big jewelry establishment in New
York. He found that Mr.. Boya-
jan conducts large wholesale
and retail jewelry business and
operates jewelry manufacturing
plant, the firm being highly rated.
He says that Harry is at the pres
ent devoting his time to the assis-
tance of G. A. p. Turner in arrang-
ing finances for the construction
of the three toll bridges on the
oversee highway to the mainland.
Says Harry Is highly enthusiastic
over the prospects and seems to
think that Mr.. Turner win be able
to put his proposition over.
Mr.. Boysen spent some time Wis
iting at the home Of Mr. and Mrs.
A. Blunt at Cheatham, New York,
where they took him on motor
tours covering over 1000 miles

full country. pretty resorts, great
