AS matter of fact, thought at
first it was dead-but it disproved
that theory in short order, when
some one two stalls away yelled
'Liver!'. Puss snapped her head
back into position, and made off in

More Fruits Coming
In Every Day.
More varied shipments of fruit
are pouring into the produce deal
ers every day. There are beautiful
little red and yellow plums to be
had now, and the small apricots that
I spoke of last week are bigger and
better than they have been. Black
berries and raspberries are crowding
out the strawberries that seem to

melons and pineapples are all eX-

ons, oranges and grapefruit for your
fresh-squeezed summer beverages,
and take home one or two punches
Of fragrant green mint for added
flavor and garnish.
Salads are, of course. of prime
importance just now. During the
hot weather every known kind of
salad bowl and arrangement is
brought into play by the clever
housewife who wishes to serve her
family tempting and wholesome
meals. Everything from the elab-
crate jellied version, featuring
meats or fish or vegetables, to the
simple fruit salad, or the mixed
greens tossed in subtly favored
dressing, is popular. This week
salad 'makin's" seemed to be at
their best, with crisp romaine, Bos-
ton lettuce and emerald watercress
to form the perfect background.
Ready Cooked
Hams Featured.
This week end many Of the mar
kets will feature ready cooked hams,
that will sell for about the same
price as the average uncooked ham.
This will be of interest to all house
keepers who find that ham is the
perfect emergency" food to have
on hand, ready for the unexpected
guest, the impromptu picnic or the
family Sunday night supper. There
are also, naturally, any number of
cold cuts, meat loaves and canned
meats that may be put to the same
uses.
Other meats enjoying bargain
prices at present are pork loins,
chuck roasts and, of course, chickens.
Fish is plentiful and very inexpen-
sive, with lobster, crab and shrimp
in line for curried dishes or, again,
salad.

He said that he was the father
of four children, and the Judge
then passed sentence of $25 and
costs, but would remit the costs
if the fine was paid.
Joe Smith was called to the

MOVIES OF SNOW


Last evening the members of
the Key West Boys Band gathered
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Mills White for their first
social meeting of the season.
Highlight of the evenings en-
tertainment was a movie show
with many reels shown by K. NJ
Dale and Franklin Archer. Mr..
Dale showed several reels of
snow scenes taken at the Dale's
summer camp 1000 feet up in the
mountains in Oregon State. Some
pictures taken early in May show
snow drifts one hundred feet
high. There were also pictures
of the Army and Navy Academy
at San Diego, Calf; Mt. Whitney;
Mojave Desert; the chain of Mis-
sions started in California by
Father Sherer, and many other
beautiful color shots from places
all over the country.
Mr.. Archer presented movies
of local scenes in which several
members of the band saw them
selves as movie actors for the
first time.
? Both Mr.. Dale and Mr.. Archer
have more pictures which they
have consented to show the boys
at future gatherings. After the
movies several games were play
ed and those two wizards of the
art of magic. Ray Pierce and
James Singleton, entertained with
many astounding and unbeliev-
able tricks. If there had been a
woman present they no doubt
would have even tried to saw
her in half.

were served and a grand time
was had by all. The next social

Russia was concentrating more
and more forces in determination
to swing a victory tide in her
favor in the undeclared war with
Finland.
Over 100000 crack troops have
arrived at the front and are re-

line on the Karelian isthmus.
News stories keep coming in
that Russians are experiencing
much difficulty with troopers
who appear to be dissatisfied
with the war. Mutiny is said to
have broken out in several en-

that Russia had issued orders for
airplane- pilots to open fire on
their own countrymen in efforts
to quell disturbances.
Ski troops of Finland are re-
ported today in possession of
small portion of the Murmansk-
Leningrad railroad which is the
main artery for transportation, s.
supplies to the north Finland
frontier.
Firms are apprehensive lest
renewal of parachute troop ma
neuvers be attempted by Russia
in that all lakes of the country
are now frozen solid. Maneuvers
would call for hundreds of planes
to fly over Finland, each drop
ping eight or nine soldiers by
parachute. The assembled troops
would then engage in cutting
communications and general
harrassment of Finn troops from
the flanks.
These troops have generally
been called suicide attachments

work. however. if carried out as
planned, would cause severe
