double forms. Some are frilled,
others crested, and some are
fringed.
1t is advisable for the home

President Truman opposed in the

Harding had been misled.
He identified the President as
a friend of Jim Pcndcrgast of
Missouri, and said that the Pres
ident had sought the help of
the Prendergast ring in that
state to defeat him, Slaughter.
When told of the Slaughter

Tom Watson. State Attorney
General and candidate for gov

would continue his fight against
establishment of the Everglades
National Park. and would use the

"If I didn'' think there We're
cal questions anil public rights
involved" he added, 81 would
not needlessly jeopardizc my po-

easier to track with the majority

ally in public life"
Watson said he was opposed
TO giving the park area to the

oil rights involved, and would
withdraw objections if the fcd-
eral government "sees fit to vol
unfairly return this oil by re-
