FLORIDA'S CORAL STRAND

The Miami Post says the present year
is another boom year as far as real estate
is concerned and that South Florida is in
for greatly improved conditions along its
coral strand. No one who has gone
through the last Florida boom wants
another such narrowing experience, but
improvements along normal lines will be
welcome.
Continuing, The Post believes that
some day the whole of the south end Of
the state will be we'll built up on the water
fronts. The keys too, will have many
homes built on them. Water will be piped
across to the various keys and to Key
West. When all that it done, thousands
of people will be living in the district, both
winter and summer Key West will be-
come an important point almost imme-
diately as the railway bridges are used to
construct roadwayS for motor traffic.
Completion of that oversee highway for
motors will do more to open up south
Florida than anything else we know at
present. Industry is beginning to come IN
with important additiOns-and will re-
main near Miami or to the north and west
of it. Homes will generally string out to
the south.

COME AGAIN, FIRE ladies!

To the Florida State Firemen's As
ISOLATION, Key West is indebted for three
cnlvening days-days made bright and
full of good cheer by the presence of a
group of Florida men; a group that would
command re pect wherever courage and
devotion to duty is given due considera-
ton in the appraisal of the qualities that
constitute good citizenship.
To our own local organization, which
has given such abundant proof of its de-
voton to the city and its faithfulnesS in
bearing more than its share of the finan-
cial stringercy that the community has
suffered, we are doubly indebted.
1t is to their loyalty to Key West,
we'll and their support of their chief, Harry
NJ Baker, who also was the president of
the state association that Key West hos
pltality has gained new lUstre; and cor
dial place in the hearts of the various
cities OF Florida that sent representatives
there have returned groups of men bear
ing the story of the warm welcome ex-
tended to them by gallant little city.
Key West has been smiling town
this week as her streets have been en-
livened by groups of friends greeting
one another in cordial reunion. 1t has
been a time reminiscent of happy days in
the past and rich in promise of happier
days yet to come when a broad highway
shall make accessible to other conventions,
the unique charm of city that can be
reached by mOtorcade across wide
stretches of waters of unsurpassed beauty.
Chief Baker reinqusheS the gavel of
authority to president NJ. n. Cleveland of
Sanford after year i'll office during
which he has discharged his duties with
distinction to himself ard with honor to
Key West. To him, ana to the local or
CARNATIONS which so ably contributed to
the success of the convention, Key West is
under an agreeable obligation.
To the Florida State Firemen's Asso-
citation, The Citizen extends its congratulate
tons up0r work we'll done and to it, and to
The individuals who constitute its mem
bcrs hip, its best wishes and, many happy
returns"

THE EDUCATE OMAN

In view of much recent discussion of
the attributes of an educated man, the
points laid down by Albert Edward Wig
gam, the author and lecturer, are interest
ing They are as follows:
He keeps his mind open on every
question until the evidence is all in.
He always listens to the man who
knows.
He never laughs at new ideas.
He crcSS~eXamnes his day-dreamS.
He knows his strong point and plays
it.
He knows the value of good habits
and how to form them
He knows when not to think and
when to call in an expert to think for him.
You can't sell him magic
He lives forward-looking, outward
looking life.
He cultivateS love of the beautiful.

trellises twined with flowers against a
background of cedar boughs. At one
end and on one side of the hall were
coy chairs and divans.
/ The lovely gowns of the girls, most
