TOLD SEVERAL TRAVELLERS
THEY COULD NOT OBTAIN

Key Wcstcrs who have recently
made visits to different parts of
the state, at times return with
glowing tales of interest shown
by those who have visited Key
West. and frequently tell tales of
individuals who have said unkind
things of the city.
One OF those who recently re-
turned with a story of the usual
knocks. is a Key WeStcr who
made a trip up the East Coast,
and came i'm contact with a group
of folk, three women and a man,
and some of them lived in Lake
Worth.
Accordingly they entered the
Chamber of Commerce at Lake
Worth and there they were in
formed that it was not wise to
come to Key West because they
could not get anything to eat
neither could they get a place to
stay.
They continued In hear about
Key West and finally decided &c

ARE ORGANIZED
DURING SESSION
MONROE COUNTY ASSocIA.
TON PERFECTED AT MEET.
ING CONDUCTED wEDNES.
DAY EVENING .

Organization of Monroe coun-
tvs Oil Mems Association was
perfected at a meeting held We'd
nesday night in the assembly
room of a local hotel, at which
the seven-point program of the
Florida Petroleum Industries
Committee was ratified.
The program is now being con-
sidered for ratification by similar
associations of other counties, and
when the approval is general the
entire man power of the petro-
leum industry will be thrown be-
hind the plan.
This program will foster JUS
tice and equality for motorists
taxpayers, it was explained by
UhsFles FAY ll99ir. who was elected
chairman Qf the MA0 ftnGro associa-
tion,l"andIwill safeglAaFd. the well
fare efpthousands> of workers en-
gagsd i" the aatomotivc, petro-
ileuplI,and .attied trades lof this
state. AT the same time we be-
lievc this program will do much
to assure the reasonable and eco
nomical development of high
ways and of highway tranSporta-
ton, without taxing anyone or
anything excessively.
The seven points in the ratified
program follow:
To advocate that the state gaso-
line tax be reduced from seven
cents to six cents per gallon.
To insist that all gasoline and
motor vehicle tax revenues be
used for highway purposes only,
and to urge the adoption of con-
stitutional amendment to accom-
plish that end.
To urge recognition of the fun
damental principal that the state
alone should tax gasoline, and to
seek the adoption of a constitu
tional amendment prohibiting
municipalities from taxing. this
essential commodity.
To urge that the date for the
registration Of motor vehicles be
postponed to April /. ..... "a.
To render assistance to state
and federal authorities in the de-
lection and elimination of tax
evasion. 4.........
To urge the repeal of the un-
just and unfair federal gasoline
and lubricating oil taxes.
To oppose all tax and other
proposals inimical to the petro-
lcum industry and its motorist
customers.
Vigorous opposition should be
made to all tax proposals and un-
warranted restrictions and regu-
lations which are unfair and in
imical to the petroleum industry
and its motorist customers.

Man Loses $50 to
eastern" Buyer.

BarneSville-An accommodating local
man is out $50 as the result of endorsing
a check for clever "cattle buyer" who
operated here last week. A man appear
ing to be between SO and 60 years of
age and giving Hampstead, Maryland
as his address, came to town and en-
gagged a local livestock dealer to assist
him in buying carload of mich cows,
for which he said there was a brisk de-
mand in the east. The man spent about
three days in the country and had ar
ranged to buy about Is cows, the sellers
to be notified later when to make de-
livery. One afternoon the buyer went
to the bank, accompanied by the local
man, obstensibly to inquire about hav-
ing funds wired here with which to pay
for the cattle. Being told that he had
better wire for his money right away in
order to allow time for his draft to come
through by the end of the week, he
turned to the local man who readily
complied with request to endorse
check for $50 for expense money until
the funds he was wiring for should ar
rive. Arrangements were made to go
into the country again the following
morning, but it was then learned the
cattle buyer had gone away during the
night. A telegram to the Maryland
bank concerning the check brought the
mo account" reply.

fresh vegetables, for the family table
in summer and enough to can supply
sufficient for long winter months.
Such garden is too large, ordin-
arily, to be tended by the old-fashioned
method of the hand and hoe, with its
attendant backaches. Many families
are now finding that the long-row gar

farm machinery requires much less

Fa4klon4
By MARJORIE ELLIS McCRADY
Fashions Editor OF
TILE MINNEAPOLIS IOlJRNAl
THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL

Minneapolis, Feb. 17-BecauSe each
week brings so many girls to my office
asking how to become models and
where to go for such work, I believe you
will be interested in the following story.
When I was in New York a few
months ago I was talking to Alice Dowd,
whose managership of elaborate and
successful fashion shows is praised the
great city over. I spoke of the birth
of trained models in the Midwest and
received what I considered a most
amazing answer.
eff you have ten or twelve girls you
feel are excellent models you are lucky.
Why here in New York there aren't
over fifty I consider top models and
these girls are used over and over until
we can see their faces in our sleep"
Only fifty top models in New York
1t seems unbelievable. Hundreds there
to model. Hundreds who live there
model but only around so measure up
to all the requirements. Lack of train
ing is explained as the reason.
Hoping to change this state of af-
fairs the Models Preferred" training
course was begun last fall in New York.
This is an intensive course in the new
technique of fashion modelling. The
demand for models is great but the de-
mand is for well trained girls. During
the past season the moving picture
scouts have combed the market taking
many of the best models to Hollywood
for a screen career. The Models Pre-
ferred course is intended as a short cut
for those young women who possess the
necessary physical qualifications but
lack expert training. 1t is not limited
to those who wish to qualify as pro-
fessional models but is offered to young
women who because of their social
positions are called upon to model in
charity benefits.
Not only are the girls taught to walk,
sit and stand CORRECTLY, but they are
taught, for Photographic purposes, that
hands are placed in sport jackets one
way but in fur coats or other pockets
entirely different ways. They are
taught correct makeup. Their diet is
studied and worked out according to
need.
It is said that many of the most
successful models are not pretty but
rather distinguished for the refinement
of their features, their carriage and
their ability to photograph well. The

TODAY SEASON
FOR MUSkRATS
1888 Season to Open March 10
and Close April 2; Rules
Given for Trapping.

Minnesota will have a twenty-day
nuSkrat season, beginning March 10
at A. M. and ending April at P. M,
according to Harry E. Speakes, director
of the division of game and fish.
For several months surveys have been
conducted in the field and the musk
rat population has reached a point
where an open season is advisable, Mr..
Speakes indicated
The law provides, mo person shall
set or use more than so traps for musk
rats at any one time. No person shall
set, visit, or remove any trap for musk
rats between the hours of P. M and
A. NJ"
1t is unlawful to injure or destroy
muskrat houses and openings made for
the purpose of inserting or removing
traps must be sealed. Traps shall not
be placed under the ice near muskrat
houses or in runways or channels used
by muSkratS.
The last muskrat season in Mime
sofa was in 1886 with closed seasons in
both 1895 and 1897.

Dedth-KneU Sounds
To Oldest Building.

Canby-HammerS and crowbars
sounded the death-knell recently of one
of this villages Oldest buildings when
wrecking was begun by present owners.
Only one other building now standing
in Candy has had a longer life than
the structure which will be torn down
as rapidly as weather conditions per-
NIT. Wreckers have found that the
lumber is in excellent condition despite
the fact that the building has stood
for 81 years. Old fashioned square nails
used in the construction are still shiny
and bright. Erected in the summer of
1884, the building was occupied by
saloons until the prohibition amend
ment was enacted except for short
periods when the village voted dry.
The second floor of the building, spaci-
Gus and well finished, was the center
of Canby's social life for its first eight
years. Three fires originated in
the building but were extinguished be-
fore much damage was done.
