Pineapple Work Furnishes Much
Employment To Local Residents
More Than Five Hundred
Cars OF Products Han
died Thus Far This
Season

While no advices have been re-
eeived as to the length of time
pineapple shipments win con-
tinae TO be received at Key
West IL is expected that the
season is about two-thirds COM
pleted.
Though the season so far has
not been as prolific as in former
years it has been productive of
many hours of employment for
those handling the shipments at
the railroad and has increased the
numbers employed in other lines.
Up to date there have been re-
ceived few more than 500 cars
with Grated fruit. The crates have
been transferred to approximately
925 refrigerator cars and shipped
to points in the north for distribu-
ton to numerous points in the
states
There have been also received
43 cars with fruit in bulk prac-
tically all Of which have been sent
IN bond to points in Canada.

Chas. Mitchell, Candidate For
U. 5. Senator, Makes Hit With
Voters In Address Given Here

Mr.. Mitchell stated that in times
such as these, when our people are
distressed and sorely tried, polit-
.ical gatherings should not be the
scene of attacks by one candidate
upon the others, but rather should
be the coming together of Ameri-
can citizens for the purpose of
considering our problems and of
attempting to arrive at success
full solutions of them. He paid
tribute to President Roosevelt and
his administration, and said that
the president, as the chosen lead-
er of the American people, had
proved his right to his leadership
by the results of his first year in
office.
He stated that approximately
percent of our nation
al wealth is in the hands of less
than five percent of our people
and that we could not have pros
perity until the great mass of the
people had money in their hands
in order that they might trade
with one another. He said that we
must end the present situation
wherein a few become immensely
rich while millions face starvation.
He proposes a heavy tax on large
incomes and inheritances and that
we use a portion of the money

Charles E. Mitchell, candidate
for United States Senator, won
his audience and sold himself to
his hearers yesterday afternoon in
his address at the corner of Flem-
ing and Duval streets.
The theme of his talk relative
to Key West concerned the stra-,
tegic situation of the Naval Sta
ton and the need for its operation.
at all times on an active basis.
!. His logical conclusions concern
ing the submarine base and the.
fact that since its construction il
had seldom harbored the type of
vessel for which it had been con-
structed as base and center of
training operations, were received
with applause.
He told his audience he would,
if elected. put forth every effort
to have the government make use
of the station and base and PROM
Used to hold himself ready to be
"tarred and feathered" if he did
not strive to have his idea made
effective.
Not only did his reasoning and
logic impress his audience but
his personality and convincing
sincerity won him many votes in
Key West, it is assured.

Mirage Story Also Causes Much
Comment By Residents Of Cuba

Discusses Matter
Discussing the mirage this
morning with Colonel NJ. G..
Spinks, U. S. A, who is enjoying
a vacation in Key West and. with
Mrs. Spinks. is occupying one of
the cottages at Fort Taylor reser-
vation, The Citizen was told by
the colonel of his seeing mirage
on more than one occasion while
in New York.
The clearest and most perfect
one he had seen. he said, and
which, because of its distinctness
of outline he could readily recall,
was that of two full rugged ships
under full sail, with no ship of
that description within his line of
vision, clearly outlined in an in
verified position against the sky.
Colonel Spinks also recalled
hearing an uncle of his who made
his home in the west telling of
seeing a mirage in the desert
many years ago which from its
location and the outlines and
buildings, was said to be mirage
of the city of Virginia City, Ne
vada.
Others had also seen this and at
different times from other angles.
AL, agreed that it could be nothing
else than a mirage depicting Vir-
GINA City in Nevada, in perfect
outline. So"

Not only has the story of the
mirage in which the city of Ha-
vana was clearly defined, as pub
lished in The Citizen of Monday,
caused a great deal of comment
in Key West but also in Havana
the story is being widely discus
scd.
In q recent issue OF the Cuban
newspaper Ahora appeared a
translation of the story and a
number of comments on the
phenomenon. One traveller who
returned from Havana yesterday
told The Citizen the Havana Post,
printed in English, was going to
run story concerning it in an is
sue of this week.

Another arrival on the Steam
ship Florida yesterday advanced
the idea Of a moving picture COM

pictures on cloud strata under

COUNTY REPUBLICANS In
SESSION TODAY, NAMING
NOVEMBER TICKET IS GOAL
Indications Are Second
Meeting Necessary to
Choose Nominees

Republicans of Henderson .coun-
ty met at the Woodman hall at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon in an
effort to reach an agreement on
a county ticket for the November
election. The hall was filled as the
meeting got underway with Frank
Waldrop, county chairman, pre-
siding and with every precinct in
the county represented by the
chairmen and other party leaders
and workers.
Indications before the confer
ence were that while sentiment
favored nominations by acclama-
ton rather than at a primary, a
ticket would not be nominated at
once. Chairman Waldrop said this
would be done at a later meeting,
probably next Saturday, provided
it appeared the candidates favored
today would receive the harmon
ious support of party members.
However, it was made clear that
the meeting was in the hands OF
the voters rather than the execu-
tive committee, and that any &C
ton they favored with reference
to nominations would be satisfac-
tory to officers of the county or
ganization.
"This is a year when the party
is seeking the best man for each
office rather than the men seek
ing the Offices" Chairman Wal
drop said. "The men now favored
as candidates are for the most
part those who have virtually
been drafted to make the several
races"
As the conference opened to-
day, it appeared that five men
were virtually certain of nomlna-
ton. They were:

WASHINGTON, April 81. (UP).
The governments new rural re-
lief plan, which contemplates leas-
ing subdivided farmlands for as
low as $1.00 a year, was started
yesterday with acquisition of $50
acres in South Carolina.
County and state owned land
is being acquired at little or no
cost to the government. The. fed
eral emergency relief administra-
ton is preparing to close nego-
tiations for thousands of acres"
it was announced.
Relief Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins explained that title will
be held either by the county,
state or federal government. Sub
divided tracts will be leased to
the needy at possibly S1.00 a
year. Options will be given the
occupants to buy at a reasonable
price.
