AROUND THE TOWN
(B. T. B. C.)
(By T. B, C.) An interesting question \ras brought up by a little incident which occurred recently on one of our main streets. A fraternal organization was holding a meeting in one of the public halls, and aa is natural on all such occasions, the cars were left sUnding on the street outside. These cars are not left until well along toward the time when business places close, but one business man thought the matter of enough importance to place a sign on one of the cars reading: "Please do not park in front of store," and signed his name. When the owner of the car came out he saw the sign and handed it to somebody else who hap¬ pened there about that time, and wrote on the bottom of the sheet: "Go plump to h—" and put it on the man's front door, and do you know the man wanted to start an ^argument about it? I do not know this myself, but am told he was real obstreper¬ ous. The question of how much right a man haS to forbid any man from leaving a car in front of his place of business would be an interesting one for the lawyers to argue, but so far as I am personally concerned, while I don't think f would tell the store man just what the other man did, 1 am of the opinion I would park my car where I pleased, so long as it did not interfere with driveways' or fire hydrants.

This is a beautiful country down here. On our way down we stopped at Jackson¬ ville, which is a fine city of 100,00 population. We reached West Palm Beach Friday night bout 9:30 p. m. There is plenty of building here but a good deal of the work is standing still on account of a strike, although I had no trouble. Will start to work tomorrow. The scale of wages here has been $6.00 for eight hours' work, but the strike is for $7.00. The un¬ ions will not allow you to work for less than $7.00.

Red Cross to Hold
Its Annual Meeting
The annual meeting of the Free- port Branch American Red Cross will be held at the Freeport Club Wednesday, October 15, at 3:30 P M. The election of officers will take place. All members are urged to be present.
The war activities of the Red Cross are about at an end, but it is de¬ sirous that the organization will con¬ tinue on a piece time basis, then should any emergency arise, the Branches and Auxiliaries could, on short notice, be able to render act¬ ive duty, whereas, if they were to go out of existence, it would be very difficult to act quickly or again re¬ construct the present organization.
