BRITAIN, FRANCE
BUY FOOD JOINTLY
SAVES MONEY FOR BOTH AS
COMPETITIVE BIDDING
NOW ELIMINATED
(nx Askocfnted Pressl

LONDON, Feb. 27.-Great
Britain and France, to further
combine their strength, are now
purchasing their food supplies
jointly. This plan has been
worked out so that the Allies
will not bid against each other
in the domestic markets.
England purchases food for
both countries from among her
empire and France does the same
in her colonial possessions. The
Allies buy jointly in neutral mar
ketS.
Britain has contracted with
Australia to purchase all the
cheese that country can spare.
A similar contract is now being
worked out with Canada.
Australia is also experiment
ing in sending canned beef to
England. If this innovation
proves successful it will mean
that more than one-fifth of the
beef now sent to Britain can be
shipped in the future. The pro-
cess does away with bones and
all waste, thus, allowing more
pounds to be loaded in the hold
of a vessel.

few PETITION
FOR MOSQUITO
CONTROL AREA
FIFTY NAMES ON ONE PETI-
TON: ANTI MOSQUITO
PROJECT NEEDS 1919 FREE.
HOLDERS SIGNATURES

The petition for freeholders
seeking a special county election
to create the county into a spe-
cial anti-mosquito district, that
has been in The Citizen office for
the past three weeks, has a total
of about fifty names inscribed
on it, investigation showed today,
and, according to those interest
ed in seeing this project through
to success, it appears necessary
to call additional attention to
the drive.
1t will be recalled that the
petitions-another is at local
Chamber of Commerce head
quarters-must contain the names
of at least ten per cent of the
freeholders of the county before
the election can be called,
The process is to. submit the
names to the county commits
sioners, who will decide the date
of the election. A satisfactory
vote would bring the creation of
a special board by the governor
which would be empowered to set
up the machinery to bring per-
manent mosquito eradication
work to Monroe County.
Many local agencies are in
terested in seeing that the anti
mosquito drive be consummated,
and join The Citizen in calling
attention to the citizenry the
need for additional names on the
petitions.

INQUEST TODAY
TO INVESTIGATE
BOTELLA DEATH
BODY FOUND UNDER LIGHT
HOUSE PIER LATE YESTER.
DAY AFTERNOON; QUAR-
TERMASTER ON IVY

Inquest into the death of Man
uel Botella, so, quartermaster on
the Lighthouse Tender Ivy
whose body was found under the
lighthouse pier late yesterday, is
scheduled to be held before
Coroner Franklin Arenberg at the
sheriff's office at p. m. today.
1t is believed Botella, who had
served on the Ivy for IA years
lost his life in a fall from the
tenders gangplank Sunday night
He was last seen by a close friend
Rafael Henriquez, ST., who re-
ported to Commander w. w. De-
merritt of the Coast Guard, that
Botella left him at 9:15 p. m. Sun
day to return to the Ivy.
Botella's failure to take over
his watch at midnight was noted,
and at noon when the Ivy sailed
for Tampa, Capt. L. H. Muse re-
ported his quartermaster was
missing. A search was imme-
diately instituted by Commander
Demeritt.
Members of the crew of the
visiting Tender Forward, which
is built low to the water, sighted
Botella's body floating shortly
after 4 p. m. yesterday in the wa
ter near the spot vacated by the
Ivy. The sheriffs office and
Justice Arenberg were notified
and the body was taken to the
Lopez Funeral Home for final
disposition.
Coast guard officials and in
innate friends of the deceased are
convinced there are no surviving
relatives in this country. Botella's
wife died here some years ago
while a brother is reported tc
have been killed two years age
during the Spanish civil war. b.
tella was a native of Malaga
Spain, a naturalized citizen of the
United States.
Unless some relative is discov-
cred, the funeral will be conduct
ed by the Coast Guard under an
authorization received by Com
mander Demeritt. Burial will be
in city cemetery at 4::3O O'Clock
Thursday afternoon.

Greta Carlo came to Key West
last week!
A number of people, no doubt,
saw her in company with her
friends, on various excursions to
do the town"-but, in that she
was determined to remain, as far
as possible, incognito, very few
knew that the famous movie star
was present in this city.
For example:
Peter Schutt, manager of Casa
Marina, where Greta stayed, is
said to have known she was
there, despite a strange register
ing name. One or two employees
at Cayo Hueso Club said they
knew she was in town, too.
1t appeared that Miss Carlo
was "night-clubbing" one evening
last week and stopped in at Cayo
Hueso. She thought she was I'M
recognized, much to her pleasure,
and she told Mr.. Schutt of her
experiences. At least two en-
ployes of the Cayo Hueso, how
ever, said later that they recog-
nized her, but undertook to "pro-
tect her desire to stay unrecog-
nized".
Greta left for continuation of
her Florida vacation last week
