Mr. Johnny Penguin Muoolhed down his feathers with great care, for lie was going a-culling. He looked around Hie beach and then gazed keenly, far out upon the ocean. He strutted around a moment or two and then looked about iiim again. “What shall I take Iter?” lie askdrt himself. There were plenty of other Iienguiiis around whom lie could have asked for advice but lie didn't want anyone's advice. 1 He wanted to decide the question himself. The only thing was ihat lie didn't quite know how to answer his own question. That was difficult, yes, it ;; los t certainly was difficult “I inighl," lie said lo himself, “take her an ocean wave. 'That would he a present such as no penguin has ever had before ami it would be sure to please her. Hut I do not know how to get the wave for her. As soon as I got it another might come along and take It away from mu. That is a trick waves have of doing. “I know,” be continued In h'mself, “I will ask her if she would like a wave for a present. I will leave it to her to deride. That is what 1 shall do, yes sir, that is what I shall do.’’ So lie picked up *a slick he found upon Ihe beach ami slrnlted along in a very proud and haughty fashion. “With my fine walking cane r.o one can resist me,” he said. As he walked along with Ids head high in the air he thought of what a lovely home lie.would have with Miss Penguin, for he was going a-calling on the loveliest Miss Penguin on Hie whole island. At one time he looked down and saw a line atone, smooth and quite perfect. , "This will Jusl do for her,” he said, "for Miss Penguin must he given an engagement ring if l am to ask her to-marry me. t*iie will expect it and she will accept it, hu, hu,” and lie gave a laugh of joy. At Iasi lie reached Ihe spot where Miss Penguin was slanding. “How fine and straight she stands,” he said to himself,, and then he stopped right in front of Miss Penguin. “I’ve come to see you, Miss Pen guin,” he said, “and I want you to be my mate. Here is the engagement ring:” He dropped the stone in front of her. She certainly could not refuse it. Hut Miss Penguin looked in another direction and did not pay any atten tion lo Hie stone. “Aiiss Penguin,” he said, “will you not accept me ns a male?

But don’t throw the old one away. Let' us vul canize it. Every Motor Nood, 1 ADYERTISEMENT Having already obtained liberal and substantial sub scriptions to the capital stock of my proposed corporation I am now offering the balance or any part of it upon the terms set forth below. a The Chamber of Commerce, with commendable vigor and manifesting a splendid faith in the future of our City, has undertaken, with free eats, splendid music and good speeches, to organize a corporation with which at the an nounced expense of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OR MORE to erect a new, splendid and com modious hotel to meet the present needs of the community in this respect. To those to whom this advertisement is addressed it is not necessary for me to dwell upon the almost prohibitive expense incident to the erection and equipment of such a hotel nor the length of time necessary to erect and equip it. Those who are in reality interested in this matter are already familiar with these things. Neither the hotel business nor the needs of Florence are new to me. I have lived here for many .years, during practically all of which time I have been in the hotel busi ness. I realized the needs of Florence for additional hotel ac comodations and had consulted an architect and contractor before anything was said by the Chamber of Commerce on this subject, with a view to enlarging, partially re modeling, more efficiently equipping and beautifying the present Hotel Florenc, so that it might met every need of the community for many years to come. In order to save my property, as an investment and to meet the community’s needs, which I recognize, I am now determined to go forward with my plans and expend ap proximately ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS on my present property in adding one hundred bed rooms, fireproofing and equipping all rooms with hot and cold bath, heat and lights, in converting the mezzanine floor into reception rooms, ladies’ lobby and orchestra balcony and in generally renovating and rejuvenating the property. To this end and in order to raise funds with which to carry out these plans I have decided to incorporate my property, putting in the present building, equipment and contents at the sum of ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS and selling the capital stock at the par value of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS per share to such an amount as will raise the funds necessary to con summate my plans. I will apply for a charter for a corporation with an authorized capital stock of THREE HUNDRED THOU SAND DOLLARS, put in my present plant and as an in ducement to the subscription to the stock I will guarantee to the purchasers an eight (8%) per cen annual dividend for a period of five yearsv absolutely, and will sell to any individual or syndicate as much of the entire capital stock as he or they may want provided that when the n^anage- ment of the property passes out of my hands the guarantee as to dividends shall immediately cease and upon the fur ther condition that before any of the stock should be sold I have the refusal of the same. The returns on the investrnent will not necessarily be jimited to the eight per cent guaranteed, but will be cumu lative; that is, if the business earns more than eight per cent it will be ratably distributed. Then Florence will have a five hundred thousand dollar hotel, costing not more than three hundred thousand dol lars, built, equipped, furnished and operating, not only meeting the every need of the City, but in addition furnish ing to those who invest a safe, fair and sure return for the use of their money. $ To those citizens of Florence who recognize the com munity’? needs of additional hotel accomodations in the* iuimediate future I am offering this opportunity to assist Wi through the safe and sane investment of their money in a proposition which has passed the stage of speculation and has so demonstrated its stability and earning capacity as to enable me to guarantee a fair and possibly better return on the capital employed, as above stated. Building will be commenced as soon as possible. ** Subscriptions to the capital stock will be received in amounts from one hundred dollars up at the following places; Law Office Arrowsmith, Muldrow, Briges and Hicks, Hotel Florence.
