You may identify them by their
garb, crowned with soft hat from

A Costly Hobby
They crush and prick if carried
loosely in the blouse, unless in a
metal container which is unhandy
for a quick change in ''bait." These
fancy flies will stand man all the
way from 40 cents to $3.50 each
and the market is flooded with va
riations upon variations, all guar
anteed to be irresistible to finney
notion.
There is the broad. fan-Wing
royal coachman by which many
WaltonS swear. Then there is the
black gnat, another device
thought sure-fire by scores. The
brown hackle is the favorite of
many as are the black and white
invisibles, to name a few. Too,
the gyro type. which always
lands right side up, is in high
favor, as is the double-single
wing, made, Of all things, out of
the adornment from a Chinese

So on the morrow, in the State

a venturesome caravan will trek
from civilized haunts to leafy

A committee of citizens from
Biloxi, Miss, called upon Presi-
dent Clark C. Griffith here last
night and made an offer to have
the Griffs return to the Gulf City
next year. They visited several
other big league camps in an ef-
fort to get a major league team
to train there. Biloxi is pretty
far off the beaten trail when it
comes to arranging games. Cleve-
land is the only major league club
within a nights ride of the city.
The fact that Orlando business
men offered the Giants approx
mately $4,000 to train here next

BUNGALOW, OVERLEE

I had the newlyweds in mind
when I inspected these bungalows.
Especially the young couple just
starting out on life's journey to-
gether. What better way could
be found than starting in a little
home of your own? These bunga-
lows are brick; built on nicely
planted lots and each one having
five spacious, well-arranged rooms.
A lot of genuine pleasure could be
had in preparing meals in the
perfectly appointed kitchen, for
they have all those up-to-the-
minute devices that make work
easy The most interesting part
of all this is the terms on which
it can be purchased; for a small
down payment and $50 month
one of these bungalows will belong
to you.
