 PARODY
 (by Noel) Out where the buttons seem
 A little tighter; Out where the buckles shine
 A little brighter; Out where the girth becomes
 A little longer; Out where the straining seems
 A little stronger That's where the vest begins. FAITH AND WORKS: Gladys (whose birthday is fast ap- proaching): Mother, I am praying to God to send roller skates for my birthday, so you had better start saving the money to buy them.
 Farmer: That's my best COW and she's only two years old" City Girl: How do you tell their ages?"
 Farmer: "By their horns" City Girl: "Ah, see. Two horns, two years old" 2 Flapper: I'm in the pink of condition, and expect to be as long as the drug stores keep open.
 The girl who drinks to you only with her eyes, says Jens is more likely to give you a heartache than a headache. Summer isn't perfect. A spade can become just as hateful as a snow shovel.
 We can say one good thing about the Charleston. Walter Blanton thinks, it has so many steps that nobody ever knows whether or not you are doing it right.
 Famous last lines--And then the baby came.
 "Mom," said little Bobby, bursting into the house all out of breath, there's going to be Heck to pay down at the grocer's. His wife has got a baby girl and he's had a ''boy wanted" sign in the window for a week."

BOOSTING STRONG
FOR BRIDGES

"The sentiment today is
practically unanimous in favor
of the bridges" an influential
citizen was heard to remark
this morning, who said, "any
fellow who opposes the ques-
tion in the referendum Tues
day will find himself tremend-
ously alone, for the town is
alive with the spirit of prog
ress and a determination to
see Key West go forward and
come into her own"
"Vote for Bridges and
Prosperity" big placards say
in every conspicuous place in
the city, and in almost every
automobile large cards cry
out "Yes; I'm for Bridges"
Every man, woman and child
in the city seems imbued with
the spirit, and are loud in
favor of the bridge proposal.
"There is less opposition to
the bridge contract than any
question ever voted on in
Monroe county," another lead
ing citizen said today. He
says there are only two class
es that are opposing the Tur-
ner contract, and tnat they
are so few in number as not
to command notice. One is
the honest objector, who real
Iy believes in his position. The
other fights the measure
purely for personal reasons,
for selfish gain. But they
are few in number"

MILTON RUSSELL
AT ROTARY CLUB
MANAGER OF CIGAR FIRM
MAKES IMPORTANT AN
NOUNcEMENT

Milton Russell, manager of the
local branch of Thompson & Co.,
Cigar manufacturers, was a guest
ut The Rotary Club luncheon to-
dayday and incidentally had some
thing of Importance to bring be-
fore the Club. He read commun-
ications from the officers of the
company stating that the factory
did not have sufficient demand
for the higher grade cigars now
being manufactured to justify the
necessary overhead expense.
In order to keep that branch
going. as at present, the factory
desires to manufacture a cigar to
sell for &c, competing with the
northern machine made product.
This cigar would be of strictly
domestic tobacco, and the price
paid the cigar maker would be
several dollars per hundred less
than is paid for the other brands.
However," Mr.. Russell said, 1--WE
could offer employment to those
not so skilled in the trade, or if
other factories should close tenn
porarily, we could give work on
the lower grade Of cigars which
would enable the cigar maker to
make something instead of loaf
ing"
1t seems that the local regulat-
ing committee Of the cigar makers
union have not agreed to include
the lower grade cigar in the car
tabon. or scale of prices for cigar
making.
The matter was referred to the
Chamber of Commerce, with the
request that the mat er be taken
up by that body.
j. Lancelot Lester was initiated
in the Club by DR.. VIM. r. War
rem. His classification il corpor-
a,ion law practice.
Sebastian Cabrera was present
again today after an extended va
cation.
