SPEAK UP AND SAY Eyes"

Next Tuesday will be the time for the free
holders of Key West and Monroe county to speak
up and say eyes" to one of the most important
question ever submitted to the representative
Years ago in rural community an old church
deacon who was SO deaf that he had not heard it
thunder in twenty years present at an official
church meeting, and when certain question to be
voted on was under discussion he arose and said
Brethren, do not know what the question is, but
give you to understand tibet I'm agin it,
And that's the only reason any one could vote
anything but YES in the approaching referen-
dunn. They're "agin it just because they're again it.
And they would be against anything else the very
same way and for the same absence of any reason.
It is confidently expected that the vote viii
be practically unanimous in favor of the PROPOSE
tion for only one or two have been heard to open
ly express opposition to the interest guarantee
clause in the Turner proposition
Should the county ever be called upon to
pay any portion of the amount of interest guaran-
teed, it would be an excellent investment, for tbs
bridges will already have been in operation one
year, and will have brought about an era Of
progress and prosperity that will by far offset even
the full amount of the guarantee every year
Everything is waiting for the assurance that
the toll bridges will certainly be built. Just as
soon as that fact can be definitely known there
will be rush to this community such as has not
been known since the people flocked to Klondike
or to the Pacific coast in the gold rush days of
long ago.
Key West and Monroe county can't possibly
lose anything by voting in favor of the Turner
contract interest guarantee clause, and the future
progress of this community may possibly rest on
the nature of this expression at the polls.
1t would be great expression of confluence
in the highway and toll bridge plans to favor the
question unanimously at the polls, and The Citizen
has confidence that there will be few, if any, of
citizens who will oppose this important measure

THE USE OF OUR HERITAGE

In all the oratory that we have heard about
American independence, the speakers have dwelt
upon the wonderful heritage that has been handed
on to us. and how highly favored this nation is to
have all these traditions and this material pros
perity.
But there is something about heritage that
demands good use, or it will do anyone more harm
instance, demanded the heritage that was due him.
He got it, and instead of making good of it as
he could have done, he squandered it. Not mere
ly the money wasted, but his character was de-
moralized by the low associations which the pos
session of this money obtained for him.
We constantly see young people who are bless
ed with wonderful opportunities education, money,
talent Yet if one does not use ones opportunities
Alright, they bring curse. The young person who
has these opportunities and fails to make good use
Of them, is going to suffer deterioration that
will make such one less desirable character than
who never had any.
It is the nature of anything that has real
vitality to grow, and if it does not grow it is de-
caying A tree which fails to grow is not merely
standing still. There is some inner decay in it
that viii destroy it. 1t is with personal and
national character.
Our nation has wonderful opportunities,
ferred on us by the sacrifice and effort of the
fathers, the pioneers and ell who helped to build
up our wonderful civic institutions But many of
the people do not seem to feel concerned whether
they add anything to these opportunities or not,
They like the tree that has ceased to grow. We
must constantly, through service to the community
be making additions to the opportunities given to
US. nation viii find that it is receding in
stead Of going ahead.

A SENSIBLE COURT

In contrast with the tendency Of many courts
to thvart justice through setting aside convictions
Of criminals on trivial technical grounds decision
Of the Alabama Court of Appeals is worthy OF
eompendatory notice.
The case of defendant convicted of second
degree murder was appealed on the ground that
enc q the jurors named ]. Arnold Hale had an
swered to the name Of A. Arnold Hale on the
vsnire. AS matter Of fact. the juror in question
was commonly known simply as Arnold Hale and
there was no other person Of that name in the
couptry in which the case was tried. In affirming
the .santenee Of the trial court. the Court Of APP
peab said;
Highly technical and captious criticisms Of
the rulings of trial courts will not cause this court
10 reverse causes and grant new trials in criminal
easss, where it does not appear that some substan
tial .right OF the defendant has been taken away
from him."

Schedule of Odd Jobs
viii Help Home Ouner

1t is good thing to have a month
by-month schedule of repairs for the
home, so that the various odd jobs can
season. A midwinter blizzard Is no
time to patch a leaking roof, nor Is
the fly period suitable for repairing
screens There Is also the point of
service and economy In buying equip
ment, as heating plant in the Off
season, and likewise in hiring certain
work to be done.
The following schedule of odd jobs
and repairs for the summer and fall,
which may be modified to suit local
conditions, is recommended by John r.
Mcmahon, a national authority on
home ownership, in Popular Science
Monthly.
July: Make thorough repairs on
the roof. Replace all missing or rotted
shingles and stop leaks. Inspect gut
tiers and leaders for patching, paint
ing or replacement.
August: A good time for excava-
tons of any kind. If foundations or
cellar walls need tarring or cement
plaster, do it now. All kinds of gen.
eral building can be done without
much need for weather protection.
September: If a new heating plant
Is needed install it now. Apply wealth
er stripping. Renew floors. Fix UP
the coal bin and put In supply of
winter fuel.
October: Get the heating plant
ready to fire up. Clean chimney from
the roof down. Point up loose bricks
with cement. Connect furnace smoke
pipe-new If required
! November: Take down screens and
screen doors. Rake up leaves around
the house. Start furnace.
