DEAR SHOPPERS:
Next to Christmas Day, reckon
Mother's Day is the best of the
whole year. Rightly it comes, in the
month of May when all nature is
doing its best to make the world
more beautiful than ever. Even the
flowers seem to whisper the 'beauty
and fragrance of a mother's love.
May breezes rock the trees as
gently as a mother rocks her ba-be
to sleap. The songs of the May
birds even remind us of the sound
of a mother's voice as she cheers
and comforts her -little one, two,
three, four, etc. (big one's, too).
Yes, May is the ideal month to pay
a special tribute to Mother. Some
mothers' sons and daughters have
birthdays this month, too. Mother
will always remember when sons
and daughters forget. Vividly we,
recall onIe birthday about 35 years
ago. We had forgotten until we
spied a huge, 'luscious chocolate
cake that occupied the center ofr
the table. "Guess who's birthday,"


these! Crisp ne'w chamibrays, dimi-
ties, ginghanis and printed crepes

Our Country Right or Wrong

FOUR LITTLE RULES
This year, the Florida Forest Service and
the federal forest service are conducting a
drive to prevent forest, woods and range fires,
90 per cent of which are caused by human care-
lessness. Four simple rules have been prepared
-and every one of them should be memorized
and remembered by Gulf county residents who
go into the woods on business or pleasure.
1. Hold yolir match until it is cold-then
pinch it to make sure it's out.
2. Crush. out your cigaret, cigar or your
pipe ashes. Use the ash tray in your car, andi
never throw smoking material from the car
window.
3. Drown your campfire in water then
stir and drown it again.
4. Make sure you know the law before
burning grass, brush, fenc erows or trash.
There's nothing in those rules a child can't
understand. There's nothing that vill cause
anyone trouble or expense. Yet tieir observ-
ance would save for ourselves and our descend-
ants a very large part of the hundreds of acres
sof timber and grazing land that fire destroys
each year in Gulf county-and save with it
animal life, and the breeding grounds of wild
creatures.
In a matter of hours, fire will devastate a
forest that represents the work of nature for
50 to 100 years. It will raze our vacation and
hunting areas of the county. If you don't want
to be the causetof such a fire, follow those four
simple rules of conduct in the outdoors.

The Mediterranean Sea is a wonderful body
of water, entirely surrounded by different lit-
erary dialects which compel more or less con-
fusion.

Joe Stalin is reported as interested in a new
title. But of course every large-scale real es-
tate operator realizes the importance of good
titles.

Florida's forests are growing lumber .rorn
which our future homes will be bmilt. Don't let
them go up in the smoke of a wildfire.

THE COMMUNISTIC SMELL IS THERE!
Ye gods, we heard a Technocrat
It seems but yesterday to us though it
was really quite a long time ago that we
entered high school. Yes, it was a good school
with high rating ... of course we had no gym,
no shower rooms, no auditorium, etc. Then a
short time later we had to start working for a
living .. long tedious hours in a poorly-lighted
and poorly-ventilated shop and at very
low pay.
Recreation ? J IIm-m-m., cars for the wealthy;
we did have a "flicker" nickelodeon, an annual
carnival, fair, etc.. and for half of our week
pay \we could ride the interurban to the near-
est metr opolis and see a vaudeville show.
Smallpox, tuberculosis and other dread dis-
eases of the time took terrific toll ... hospitals
were only available in the large cities and
very costly.
As we sit here in a comfortable overstuffed
chair listening to a fine radio program in
a well lighted room .. a good car in the gar-
age with a full gas tank in case of sick-
ness or accident to our loved ,ones we could
soon have them in a nearby hospital we
are within walking distance of several beauti-
ful churches a theater and,other fine recre-
ational places nearby and a few cents'
worth of gasoline would take us to numerous
neighboring recreationanI places we think:
Is this the nation that we know has "grown
up out of a wilderness," the nation that radi-
cal crackpots claim is steadily heading for dis-
aster? lie knows not of what lie speaks!
When one of these Communistic radicals has
the stupendous audacity (or stupidity) to rear
up on his hind legs and tell us that our country
witit its g-overnment of the people, by the peo-
ple, and for the people, is galloping to disaster,
we're much more in favor of boxing him up,
labeling the box 'aw-nuts," and shipping him
to Joe Stalin.
Why not put these crackpots on an unin-
habited but fertile island,- of which there are
many, and let them work their "telephone
system" government According to their
teachings they wouYi then have their Utopia
. but no, it seems that their plans are to take
it away from the productive labor and capital
who built it they only want to run a nation
-not build one! Algonac (Mich.) Courier.

After reading that piece in the paper last
week about the bark "Kingfisher" destroying
the salt works at old St. Joseph, "Red" Her-
ring asked us why we didn't print a'stoly
about a Southern ship destroying damyankee
property. We'd lie glad to, if he or someone
else could dig us up the information. That ar-
ticle was reprinted not because of the fact that
it was a damvankee ship, but merely because
it was of historical interest.

Only (,od can make a tree, but man can undo
IHis work by a few seconds of carelessness
with a match.

Love at first sight-of his bank account.

t'y Fellow Floridians:-

May I take this means of expressing to each of
,you my sincere gratitude for your confidence. By your
vote you have placed me in the second primary and I am
humbly thankful.

It is difficult to express my feeling for the
loyal, untiring work of my friends throughout Florida.
I believe I can best express my appreciation by continu-
ing with a clean and aggressive campaign and by giving
all of Florida a sound, honest and impartial administra-
tion when elected.

And now, in the real tradition of American De-
mocracy, we invite those who so loyally worked for my


worthy opponents to oi.n
on May 25th.


actively with us for success


Gratefully,


DA PC CARTY. Aertising
