dignantly deny It: cali him q farmer
and he smiles.
It was purely by accident that
Biting got into the sugar business
He was thrown into it. A company
had gone defunct and there were
receivers. many creditors and whole
flock OF stockholders. Biting, proved
business consultant, was asked to 90
TO Florida to see II anything could
be saved from the ruin. Instead OF
stopping operations he recommended
going ahead stronger than ever. He
applied industrial methods to a great
agricultural undertaking and now
the company is paying dividends
That was but six years ago. His
organization Is one OF Americas
largest single unit sugar producers
Twelve years ago. the area whese the
sugar plantations are located was
under water. Through drainage. It
has become one Of the most fertile
and productive agricultural areas in
the world.
Mr. Biting Is making q fight

This luncheon is not confined to
club members only.
After the singing of America, 2
Wallace Bryant Kirke gave o
most interesting talk on the zon-
ing Of KEY West. The plan shows
that this coming is not to inter-
fere with residences and business
PAGES already established but to
control the building in the fu.
ture. Il is not the idea to make
Key West modern, town but to
keep il unique and different from
other places. One of the great
est needs of the city is waterfront
property for the purpose of hav
ing parks and beaches to attract
the people Of other places to Wis
il here. How many have stopped
to think that the beaches now
used are private property and in
time VIII be built up and leave us
without bathing beaches? asked
Mr.. Kirke.
II is hoped that when the plans
are completed and the time comes
for action that all fair-minded
citizens win give the plan their
hearty cooperation. The Woman's
Club went on record as being ip
favor of such a plan.
The meeting adjourned.

began. But his foot was treading hard
on the starter button.
They drove back to the hotel in
and parted. Carita lay awake half the
night, sobbing. She did not see him
at breakfast the next morning, and
when it came time for her to leave
he was nowhere around.
She thought it was going = be easy

only week before school opened and
there were many things to do, but be-

il time would eliminate the ache in
her heart, and was afraid that 1t
wouldn't.
A NEW principal WAS coming to the
school that year, and the commit
tee called meeting Of the teachers
to meet him. Carita. engaged in dis
cussion with prim Miss Guthrie, sew
enth-grade teacher, about lack of
discipline among the boys, did not see
the new principal when he entered.
She looked up when Committee Chair
man Haddock called for order-looked
up and straight into the eyes of Mag
nus Cox
She sat there, stunned, frightened,
during the entire meeting, conscious
that he was watching her. When 1t
was over she rose to go She was the
first one out OF the room, but escape
was impossible. A half hour later she
received summons to appear at the

made her like him. That is, she liked
him until he made the deprecatory
statement about school teachers.
There must be a school teachers
convention or something up here" he
remarked, by way of making casual
conversation. The place fairly reeks
with silly, romance-starved females" d"
rs it your idea that all school
teachers are silly. romance-starved

Why, sure. Why, sure. You get 'em

why. sure. No breed of the species
Is more easily identified"
Carita didn't further the discussion.
She was too angry to do So 1t CALLED
her to think that the general opinion
about school teachers was as described
by Mr. Cox. When she had cooled of
bit, two nights later, she trusted her
self to defend the cause. They were
sitting on the beach watching the
moon over the water
i don't know why you make such
remarks about school teachers. It's
kind of hard on the breed. as you call
1t, for every one to talk about them
that way, isn't it?"
Mr., COX grinned. Say, this is no
time to talk about such a dis
tasteful subject Look at the moon
on the water Isn't it glorious?"
But why" Carita persisted must
school teachers be thus identifed?"
Because" said Magnus, 80 per
cent Of them are misfits. The profess
sion is a last resort for people who
can't find anything else to do. With
women, it's means of escape, sparing
h1em the humiliation of admitting
they can't catch a man. With men,
1t salves their pride because they can't
get the type Of job they really want"
Carlta's cheeks famed in the dark
ness. You're being unkind. You
should feel sorry for them and try to
treat them like human beings"
She decided that Magnus Cox was
not the type of young man she wanted
to cultivate. But when he .sked her
to 60 driving with him the next night
she accepted. After all, she was on va
cation and Magnus was nice. and what
difference did it make, after all?
She was careful not to bring up the
