OHIO CROP REPORT
AS OF JUNE I

Winter wheat prospects in Ohio
on June / showed no change from
the previous month, but the condi-
ton of hay and pasture crops de-
clined materially because of the dry
and hot weather during much of
May. Since June 1, however, good
rains have fallen in many parts of
the state. These rains were very
helpful to hays and pasture and to
corn, some Of the latter having not
terminated by June /, due to the
dry condition of the soil. Oats, too,
probably benefited from the rains.
The condition of all tame hay
crops combined on June /, was sc
percent of normal. Fruit prospects
in Ohio on June / were, on the
whole, quite promising. Although
still too early for definite forecast
or apple production The indicated
production for peaches is 1,228,OOO
bushels against 481,OO bushels in
1888 and $4,000 bushels, the 10
year average. Pears on June /

SERVICE CLUB
. HOLDS SESSION
MANY ACTIVITIES MAKE UP
PROGRAM CARRIED OUT
DURING MEETING
By CLUB REPORTER

The program Tuesday evening
at the Stone Church Service Club
proved to be very interesting.
The first number was a from
bone solo by Parson Joe, with
kingman Curry at the piano.
This was followed by a quartet,
composed of Brady, Hampton,
Daniels and Ketchum, and the
program was closed by a group
led by Avery Powell. who sought
to out-sing the quartet. The pro-
gram was a change and everyone
enjoyed it.
The club went on record as
unanimously endorsing a resolu-
ton asking this county'S repre-
sentative and senator to pass a
local bill to protect the fowl and
fauna on the Keys.
The club went on record also
as endorsing the stand taken by
the Rev. Albert Larsen of Hallan-
dale against gambling in Broward
county.

RECORDS A PROFIT

When the Public Works Administra-
ton began its activities many municipal
ties were unable to sell bonds to private
investors in order to pay the local share of
the construction projects.
In order to get the work going the
P.W.A. bought the securities Altogether,
it acquired sass, 100000 worth.
Through the RIG. the P.W.A. has
sold these securities to private investors.
Contrary to predictions there has been no
loss In fact, the P.W.A. has made a
profit of $12,00O,OOO, in addition to col
lecting $1s,O0O,O00 in interest.
Now, we do not know why private
financing is still in the doldrums but it
may be that the financiers are just lit
tie bit too particular about the loans they
will make.
Bankers must not only have good
judgment, but faith as well.

: ar Mr.. K. N. DAZZLE, who twice came all
the way from Oregon, to spend the winter
months in Key West, expressed his chagrin
at being the only person who responded
to the call of the secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce for a meeting on wild
life, and he stranger. He states that the
people of his state are wild life conscious
and wild life is abundant. In two counties
more than 1000 bucks were taken during
the last hunting season. Mr.. DAZZLE thinks
the future potential wealth of wild life in
deer alone on the keys is considerable.

CANCER CAN BE CURED

During the next ten years about a
million and half American citizens will
depart this life as result of the ravages
of cancer.
Many of them will be the victims of
ignorance. They will pass on because they
do not know that cancer, in many in
Stances can be completely cured. The
records show that thousands of persons
are alive after treatment of cancer by
surgery, radium, or X-ray or combinations
thereof.
The individual who has suspicious
Jumps, or cores that do not readily heal,
should consult competent physician.
Medical science will not do anything for
the man who does not give it an oppor-
tunity to help him. In the event that the
victim is financially unable to secure
necessary treatment, there are avenues
through which assistance can be OBJ
tanned.

WHAT A PITY!"

Editor The Citizen:
At just 8 o'clock tonight l
picked up The Citizen to scan its
interesting pages. My eyes
caught the notice on the front
page of a wild life meeting to be
held at the Chamber of Com
merce at P. M. l DOTTED my
fishing shirt for a more pre-
sentable one, stepped on the gas
and was off for what anticipated
would be most interesting
meeting. Imagine my chagrin
and disappointment when l found
myself, an outsider, the only one
present except your honorable
representative, Mr.. Papy, and
the chambers secretary. What
pity! What a pity! l thought
that the people of Key West had
more interest in preserving a
distinct species of deer, a rem
nant almost annihilated. Your
hope is to make Key West a
tourist mecca ESQ l understand.
Do you know that you could
not possibly have greater
tourist attraction than an abund-
ance of wild life on your keys.
No more beautiful setting for
wild life exists in America than
you have on the Keys to the
north.
! l dare say that had Mr.. Papy
sponsored a rhumba dance to-
night there would have been a
jam at the commerce room. 1t
must be discouraging to a public
official to have his efforts backed
by such disinterested electorate.
However, though too many of the
people of Key West have died in
W.P.A. adolescence, l hope Mr..
Papy will continue his effort for
wild life. I feel sure that 900
want him to, but it was just too
much trouble to come out and
say SO. And, too, if no support is
had from this key let us hope
that the people of yonder keys
take the matter of protection in
to their own hands that this
remnant of practically lost
species of deer are preserved.

ABOUT CARNIVALS


nance permitting carnivals for six month
periods beginning January l upon pay
ment of license fee of $500. Two car
nivals took advantage of the opportunity
and remained until after the lid was
clamped down on gambling. Had the
bingo games continued it is probable the
carnivals would have remained the full
six months.
CarnlvalS are a source of entertain
ment for large number of our citizens
who cannot afford costlier amusements.
From that viewpoint the travelling shows
perform what may be termed useful
function, since all work and no play is not
good for the collective mind.
However, it seems to The Citizen that
if carnivals are permitted to open in the
city they should be compelled to place
more emphasis on the gambling end of the
business. In fact, bingo games and all
other forms of gambling should be pro-
hibited on carnival lots; so that when Mr..
and Mrs. John @. Citizen and family go to
a carnival they are amused, not gypped in
some gaming hokus-pocus.
Long runs by the gambling fraternity
at carnivals are not conducive to the pub
lie welfare. Money is lost that should go
for the necessities. Legitimate businesses
that stay within the law and pay far more
in occupational, property and other taxes
than all the carnivals put together suffer
severely when the shows open up in Key
West. They might as we'll close up show
after o'clock in the evening.
This fall the people of Key West will
elect new City Council. The new coun-
cilmen will go into office about Novem-
Der Is. Candidates for this legislative
body should be men committed to the re-
peal of the city ordinance licensing car
nivals with gambling concessions for six
months. They should make the repeal of
the ordinance one of their first official
acts. If they deem carnival amusement
an essential Of Key West communal life,
let them pass an ordinance holding the
show people to the purveying of enter
tainment and amusement, not bingo and
other questionable activities.
Key West business needs better
break than it has been getting. Stores
and shops cannot be improved unless the
trade of the town warrants the invest
ment. Employment by the stores and
shops cannot be stepped up unless there
are sufficient customers for new en-
ployes to serve. The carnivals have been
a heavy drain on business and have cut
employment of local people in local enter
prise. Let's give our local business houses
a new deal.

great attraction In other tourist
resort cities. In Key West gamb-
lers are at present puzzled by
Governor Cones orders to stop
all Florida gambling, even to ex-
tend this point into next tourist
winter. Most of the gamblers
here, however, believe that this
order will not be. in effect next
winter. Expecting larger hauls
this first winter from the tour
lists. local gamblers did better
than last year. but nowhere near
what they expected. There are a
few instances. however, in which
some of the wealthy visitors here
have dropped a cool $1,000 bill
in one nights gambling. But this
doesn't happen often. Locally,
bolita is quite problem. Known
to be disastrous among families of
small income, it is opposed by
civic-minded persons. But those
connected with it point out that
