Up to the attic went old Fritz,
One dark and rainy day;
And tied clothes line round his
neck
To end his earthly stay.
on a trunk he tied the
Clothes line to a rafter;
Took one step on air and crashed
The gate of the hereafter.
When neighbor Patrick heard the
news,
He and his battling spouse
Put on their Sunday clothes and
made
Toward the Widows house,
Said Pat: "Now,% Maggie, mind

And while we're there ! hope.

Of hanging or of rope"
She comforted the widow but
When just about to leave
Her Pats advice went through

Like water through a sieve.

But ye'll not mind, we've such a

Big a attic to hang things in"

Theodore Roberts, son of Mr.

Southland street, returned last
night from Fort McClelland, Ala,
after having been in the army for
four months, lacking a day.
Mr.. Roberts submitted a re-
quest for discharge a week ago, in
which he stated he had engaged
as fisherman in Key West waters
for more than 20 years. That asser-
ton was backed up by a Key
Wester, who had sold Mr.. Roberts
the boat in which he fished, and
who knew that, since that time in
1922, it had been used regularly
as a fishing boat.
Fishing is considered an essen
tiaI war job" and it was on that
ground that Mr. Roberts was re-
| leased. His discharge included the
phrase, "as a testimonial of hon.
est and faithful service. you are
hereby honorably discharged
The Citizen has stated, on sew
eral occasions, that the fishing
fleet in Key West was being grad
ually depleted because of the in
duction of fishermen, and that,
because of shortage of beef, fish

| WOMAN REPORTS LOSS

INVESTIGATION MADE


A Key West woman called at the
sheriffs office Saturday and IN
formed Chief Deputy A. H. Mcln-
mis- that she had left her pocket
book in her home, which she had
carefully locked, and that, when
she returned the pocketbook was
gone.
An investigation showed that
the house had not been broken
open, and that there was no trace
of anybody's having entered it
while the owner was absent. The
woman admitted, Mr.. Mc1nnis
said. that the house was in the
same condition as it had been
when she left it.
Mr.. McInnis said today that 1t
was evident the woman, in hiding
the pocketbook from possible
thieves, had hidden it from her
self, as sometimes happens, or
that she had taken the pocketbook
out with her and unthinkingly left
it somewhere.
I'VE have had cases reported to
u.s." Mr.. McInnis said, "of men
and women who have left their
purses or handbags on counters or
tables, Not only in these times
but at all times also, one should
guard his money carefully, though
that is particularly true of copdi-

SOLDIER PAYS DEBT
FROM NORTH AFRICA

CODY, Wya., Feb. 1.-Two years

and left without paying an So
debt to Mildred Parr, the operator
of a motor court.
Recently she received a new $40

He explained that the SO was
part of the first pay he had re-

pay the debt and the extra 81

means sacrificing and working
together in every avenue on the
fronts of home.
Obviously there are many men
in our great American industry
who, perchance are not yet draft
ed, prefer assuming larger respon-
Sibilities to receive larger salaries,
than permitting others to assist
them. And while they often jeo-
paFdize "a business pertinent to
the var by so doing, they keep,
otheEs fdOm posts which could
better be effected by the aid of
those others. Moreover, aside%from
this, there is the draft angle, If
new workers prove to be exceed
ingly adept, there is greater like
lihood that those selfish unpatriO-
tic ones no longer can be proved
essential, and thereby, be drafted
that much sooner.
In either case, real patriotism is
lacking; for there is no cooperative
effort practiced here.
Let me tell you of one particular
situation that has come to my at
tentiOn.
A friend of m in e, a most pa
triotic woman, felt she must re-
spond to this call from our great
American industry. Even though
her husband underwent a serious
operation to make himself accept
able to the armed forces, and be-
cause of this, is now fighting on
some frreign shore, she desired to
do something to aid her country
herself. She had to give more
give service where service is
needed. She, like you, drafted
mothers of our nation, under
stands what real patriotism COM
priseS.
. And in spite of the fact that she
is occupied in her own profession
of writing, she wrote a letter Of
fering her services to certain
business engaged in war produc-
ton. For she knew that this con-
Germ has lost many of their men
to the armed forces and was cry
ing out for help in the type of
work she could do. Almost at
once she received telephone mes
sage from the manager of this
business, who made an appoint
ment to interview her.
Willingly she left her typewrit-
er and unfinished copy to keep
that appointment. In this time OF
crisis. nothing was too much for
her. If she could take a post tore
place a man fighting for his coun-
try, she would be happy to double
up - Work like the devil" as
Henry Justin Smith puts it.
But when she arrived for the ap-
pointment, she was told that all
positions were filled - without
even being interviewed. She was
told what could ahave been ex-
planned over the telephone
without being. called away from
her work. To her, this alwaysswil
remain an enigma. Always She
will ask herself, why was that
appointment made in theSfirF
placer" - g
Of course this is the same old
story that so many of our civilians
have been told so many times. Our
great American industry cries out
to men and women to come to the
aid of their country, by taking jobs
it is unwilling too often to give.
Drafted mothers of our nation,
our great American industry
would do well to consider that the
flag which is worth waving is
worth supporting - that, in eager
ness to wave it, industry is likely
to disregard the cooperative ef-
fort which is required to support
it.
