KEY WEST INVITES LEGION

Our own Arthur Sawyer Post No. %
of the American Legion is conducting a
businesslike and purposeful campaign to
bring the 1910 convention of the Florida
State Department of the American Legion
to Key West. The climax of that effort
will be on the floor of the 1889 convention
to be held at Fort Lauderdale next week,
but the foundation for that are being laid
this week in Key West.
As a general rule important conven-
lions do not go to certain communities by
accident. They usually trend toward
those places that make the strongest bids
for them. An individual does not ordi-
narily go where he is not invited or where
he feels his reception will be lukewarm or
perfunctOry. Delegates to conventions are
individuals. Collectively they acts as an
individual; so that when some community
makes an exceptionally enthusiastic and
appealing bid for the convention they are
attending they are likely to fall in line
with the idea of going to that city.
Key West LegiOnnaires are enthusiast
tic over the prospect of bringing their state
Their infectious enthusiasm is beginning to
gain broad general support in Key West.
Persons not identified with the American
Legion are giving their time and effort to
the cause Some of them have donated
substantial sums of money or material to
help Arthur Sawyer Posts Convention
Committee in the campaign.
The Convention Committee has mail
ed formal invitations to each of the 119
American Legion Posts in Florida to come
to Key West in 1910. 1t is hoped many of
the posts will instruct their delegates to
the Fort Lauderdale convention next week
to vote in favor of Key West meeting
next year.
Tonight Arthur Sawyer Post with
such invited organizations as the Boy and
Girl Scouts and the Hospitality Band will
stage a parade to headquarters of the
Chamber of Commerce; Wednesday night
the same group will parade to the Court
house where the Convention Committee
will appear before the Monroe County
Commission, and on Thursday night the
parade will be to City hall where the
LegiOnnaires will make an appearance be-
fore our councilmen. The Convention
Committee is seeking to have our leading
civic organization and our public officials
prepare suitable formal invitations to the
delegates at Fort Lauderdale for the state
convention to come to Key West a year
hence.
The Citizen believes on the success of
the American Legion's pre-convention
campaign depends great deal helpful to
the future prosperity of the city. If the
American Legion convention comes here
and the city shows a capacity for ade-
quately handling such events, other groups
and organizations will become interested
in Key West as convention city. Arthur
Sawyer Post is to be congratulated for its
fine effort and deserves the support of
every pubic-spirited individual and or
ganizatiOn in Key West.

APRIL


My, how the drops of crystal rain
Sparkle beneath the suns warm
glance,
And twinkle, meltingly smile and
dance
Away until-here comes again
The pattering steps of April rain;
But the sun impatient to hold his
own,
Sends rainbow darts that ensnare
The sparkling drops, clinging
there
Upon the flowery beauty of
ApriPs throne.
Could any month the year all
through
Smile and weep at the same
time, too?
So April comes and goes away,
Tickle al through, to Rthe very
last day. e.
MILDRED EMILY SCAIFE.

ADVENTURES CLUB
HEADLINES FROM LIVES -
OF PEOPLE LIKE YoURsELF 49,
II Ride With Death"

elk E~VERYBODY:
IL Mary Billiard of La Sale, Ill, is today's Distinguished
Adventurer, and she wins that distinction-as well as the
wel-known ten bucks-with one of the most terrifying yarns
I've seen in a long time.
1t happened in 1913, when Mrs. Billiard was Miss Mary
Blanch, a girl of twelve, and Mary says, 1.-THE La Sale
papers called me a heroine at the time, and it was all quite
exciting for a girl of my age, but it lost it's thrill when I
thought of my mother lying in a hospital in a critical con-
dition, fighting the dangers of gangrene and %lockjaw.'
You can see from that statement of Mary's that there
was tragedy in that episode as well as adventure. And it
started with nothing but a common, ordinary buggy ride.
There weren't so many automobiles in those days, and most
OF the streets were mere unpaved dirt roads.
Marys dad had bought a horse that had spent all it's life
on race tracks and was hard to handle when hitched to a
buggy. 1t had run away twice, and Mary's mother didn't
drive it any oftener than she had to.
But there came a day when she felt she A to drive
that horse. They had just moved into town, and Mary was
Sale. Marys teacher a coming back with her that evening, % Mother
htched up the horse and started out to get them.
Mother hadn't been feeling well all that day, but she made the trip
to tn schoohouse without any trouble. They were all on their way to
town, with Mary in the middle between her mother and the teacher, when,
without warning, Mary felt her mother fall away from her.
Mary Looked Around and Saw Her Mother.
She looked around just in time to see Mother topple from the
seat and pitch headlong into the road. She had tainted.
But that was only the beginning of a disastrous train of events.
Mother had fallen out with the lines still clutched lin her hands.
The sudden jerk on those reins, caused by her falling, frightened
the horse. 1t gave a leap forward.
"And with that leap" says Mary, there started the fastest
rde l had v remembered in all my IL years.
