WHERE IN FLORIDA?

Of all the convention-going organiZa-
tons in Florida, it is hard to imagine one
capable of doing Key West more good than
the Florida Commercial Secretaries who
will be here during the last week of this
month.
Through the men and women who will
attend the conclave flows constant stream
of information, verbally and in letters,
about the natural attractions of this state.
And the burden of the question is:
where can we go in Florida? What
will we seen when we get there? Can you
have good time there %
Key Westers have complained for
years, and justly, about the transformation
current throughout the state concerning
this section. Visitors here frequently have
expressed their surprise at finding plenty
of drinking water, that liveable quarters
can be found, and that decent meals are
served at variety of prices.
Fart of a chamber of commerce secre-
tary's job is to know the state in which his
city is located and to give accurate infor-
nation on request, but unless he is more
financially solvent and less busy than most
of them, it is difficult for him to travel
enough to have a very clear picture of the
distant cities, such as Key West
By bringing the convention here, Key
West will be assuring itself that the next
time one of the chamber of commerce secre-
tares is asked questions about this city he
will be able to answer from experience.
considerable part of what he will
answer is up to the inhabitants of Key
West
The secretaries, although they have
arranged strenuous program of business
and training, plan to give this section a
thorough inspection while they are here.
Part of the convention period will be
set aside for golf and fishing, while other
parts of the program include sightseeing
trips and affairs at which they will meet
local people and discuss the advantages Of
the city and county.
Key West, in this convention, will have
the opportunity of making for itself host
of influential friends.

AMERICAN people are now beginning to un-
derstand what President Wilson had in

ness news still was a bolstering in

leaders to add modest amounts TO
advances of the preceding session.
Persistent strength in an assort-
ment of commodities also was put
forward as an argument against
extreme bearishness. In addition,
it was suggested lightness of trans
