TEN DAYS VACATION IN FLORIDA
AND CUBA
(Seventh Day)
. A man from the Hiatus stuyed in
lluvunu 2 weuka during I'jm and did
n't see Hloppy Joe's Joint. He was
blind Sloppy Joe's place lu nationally
known, and ranks ninny? in importance
with Cuba's Capitol building, the
cemetery and MartTs monument. 'J'hey
do not well any drinks that are very
.soft, so I heard.
..Cuba's new tax on augur for the
benefit of rural schools und rural folk
generally, even though It smells
strongly of military-Ism, Is really and
truly a stop forward for the lslAud,
but President Gomez lost his Job because
he couldn't see it that way.
Just as we do over here, he was accused
of being lined up with the rich
and the corporations.
..It is proposed to build und maintain
a large number of schools in the
country, transport the children to the
various schools, und givo each child
a good break fust, all free, from funds
derived from this source. As Uncle
Sum's nationals use about 90 percent
of Cuba's sugar, we will have to pay
this tax after all.
..Trying to find Knglish-Bpeaking persons
at random is a hard Job. You
occasionally run upon a nutive that
can talk Americano slightly, but not
enough to hurt. I mustered up
enough Spanish to upproach a soda
fountain und order a: "Coco dl awa,
gracias." The guy said, much to my
surprise: "What'll you have, Buddy."
..It seems funny, to many of us who
freeze to death for about 4 mouths
every year to visit a place like Havana
where chimneys are missing
from nearly all of the buildings. Our
mutual friend, Old Sol, supplies all
of the heat necessary for comfort,
and the water for bathing purposes,
provided anybody wants to bathe In a
tub instead of in the ocean, is heated
by the sun in glass covered cisterns
on the tops of tlie buildings.
..We got a card of introduction to
the Secretary of the Treasury and
were permitted to use reserved seats
in tlie treasury buildings to witness
one of their weekly lottery drawings, j
This was the most interesting part of
our trip. This,drawing is handled ltc
a highly systematic manner, and under
strict business rules and guidance,
and if there is any chance to
cheat or swindle in connection with
(lie select ion of the lucky persons, wo
wen- not able to locate the loop-hole.
This sight alone is worth a visit to
Havana.
TEN DAYS VACATION IN FLORIDA
AND CUBA
(Eighth Day)
. .Cuba has about 1 filling station to
every 500 in tlie States. Very few
of the gas customers, if any at ail,
permit their tanks to lie filled diiect
front the pump. No, sir-ree: you've
got to pump that gas into a can and
then it is poured into your car, a la
1'.'"5 . . . over here.
..Havana is full of lpirrow streets,
consequently about ?0 percent of
t hem an* one-way streets. There's
never much congestion. The traffic
rules are obeyed over there or else.,
Horn-tooting, 50 m. p. h.. double-parkin-,
and acting a fool generally are
all taboo over there.
..Cuba lias some pretty mountains
We spent part of a day riding thru
mmiio of their gorges and valleys. Going
hack to their sugar cam* production
if the island would use only
10 pot-cent of its ( lilt i vat able land and
plant it to cane, enough sugar could
be produced to supply the entire
w orld.
..Nearly all of the urchins, or kids,
if you like, approach the Americano
and hold up 1 linger . . . which means
"please sir. give me a penny." Peddler
keep the policemen all busy. They
have to be driven away from the doors
of the hotels, public buildings, and
sidewalks, or they would over-run
such places.
. One of our pleasant hours was
spent in faking in the Spanish-Ameriian
celebration on the Malacon at the
i base of the Maine-American inouuI
inent. This celebration was attended
by high-ranking Cuban and AuuriI
can men and officers. The Cuban band
Joined the American band in all National
music played. The Atlanta
: Boy Scouts planted the tree that the
occasion required. It was Indeed a
wonderful entertainment and showed
a remarkable spfrit of co-operation
between the U. ^ and tho Cuban folk.
..As tho eveninjwas getting on. we
returned to our hoTeTTpacked up, paid
up, and tipped tip, preparatory to taking
off Our boat left Havana at 7
p. in \Ve got aboard regardless of
the Jabbering of the rod caps and other
pests. Tho most beautiful sight
this so-called writer ever saw was the
one of leaving Havana at night. Sev
oral very large steamers were in the
harbor, and lighted up and decorated
for Christmas, and Mono Castle
and Havana proper, with electricity
blanketing and flanking the buildings
and streets for miles and miles. (I
ain't trying to get poetical: just hankering
to say how-pretty that panorama
looked). A few miles out. Havana
and her lights disappeared, and so
did 1.
TEN DAYS VACATION IN FLORIDA
AND CUBA
(Ninth Day)
..On our return to Miami from Havana,
we found that the L\ S. Customs-house
officers were very much
interested in what we fetched back,
but excusing a flask of some kind that
somebody had (evidently) slipped into
my traveling case, they didn't unearth
anything that I did not carry
over with me.
..It is remarkable how a customs officer
can root around with both hands
into one's baggage and displace and
[ muss-up everything therein in less
than a minute. It takes about 15 miuutes
to get the stuff packed back like
he found it. Hut only one officer in
a million apologizes for the shape he
leaves one's belongings in.
i. .We rambled around the city and
beach, looking at some more onepiece
bathing suits, especially when
they were displayed on the right kind
of "Aggers," but when 2:30 p. m., arrived
we were sitting comfortably at
the Miami stadium . . . ready to watch
"Die .Miss'' defeat Duquesne in the
Orange Howl classic. Hut it turned
out that the former got licked by the
latter by a score of 13 to 12.
..Some mighty An,, football playing
was done by those teams. L'p to "5
minutes to play," Mississippi and
Duquesne backed off with a score of
12 to 6, but one of those yankee boys
pitched a very, very long pass, and
his receiver received it with open
arms, and trotted about 75 yards to
victory. And did them Northerners
yell? I'll say.
- On Christmas day, the week before,
we saw New Rrittan, Conn., beat
the Miami University eleven so badly,
I prefer not to mention the score. We
have not missed a Christmas-day football
game in Miami in 4 years. They
are all worth witnessing. After the
Mississippi-Duquesne scrap, we returned
to our hotel and made a satisfactory
settlement with the clerk for
our bill, then we lit out for home
and a 12-months rest, at work.
..We drove along peacefully for about
140 miles, then stopped at the best
eating house in the world, or, it might
have been, we were the hungriest we
had been sinco we loft home. That
broiled spring chicken, which was
served by another spring chicken with
a green uniform on, was as tender as
an old maid s heart at a moonlight
picnic. . After driving 40 more miles,
wo anchored for the night at a nice
hotel which served good beds at about
16.00 per night with bath and electric
lights thrown in. The beds were OK:
we didn't bother the bath.
Soil-Saving Methods
Proving Their Value
Farmers in demonstration projects
a fid camp areas of t li? Soil Conserveiion
Service in South Carolina havo
signed (oopciativi; agreement* to put
into effect erosion-control practices on
a total of 342,475 anew, according to
Ernest Carnes, stale coordinator.
Tito purpose of these demonstration
ureus, Carnes explained, is to give
farmers in tlte entire section represented
by each area an opportunity
to see these methods in actual operation
on the farms of cooperatorw under
conditions similar to those found
on their own farms. Aside from their
demonstration value, however, these
practices are actually and effectively
controlling erosion on this large acreage.
Methods of erosion control and scil
and water conservation recommended
by iht- South Carolina Extension Service
and the Soil Conservation Service,
such as strip-cropping, terracing,
reforestation of steep and badly eroded
slopes, the ube of cover crops, ctop
rotations, contour furrowing, and improvement
of pasture sod are put into
effect on farms of cooperutors.
The value of all these methods for
erosion control is based on the tact
that they form a barrier, either vegetative
or mechanical, against run-off
water, extension and soil conservation
workers point out. lfy slowing
up run off they reduce its erosive action
and increase absorption, thus
storing up moisture which can bo
used by growing crops during dry
weather.
Close-growing crops used as cover
crops and strip crops serve also as
filters to strain out soil particles carrid
e etylibetaoihrdlutaoiuitaoiaoiaottu
ried by the water; and legumes used
for this purpose have the additional
value of building up the soil, they explain.
Murdered Body
Of Girl Found
Sparta, N. C., Feb. 12.?'The body
of a pretty lG-year-old high school girl
and member of a well known Alleghany
county family, was found fifteen
miles northeast of here today.
She had been missing since Monday.
Sheriff Walter M. Irvin, of Alleghany
county said an autopsy performed
this afternoon revealellk-. tin?
girl had been attacked, strangled *to
death and then dragged about 100
yards.
Her body was found in a field with
her school books neatly stacked by
her head.
Sheriff Irvin said the body was decomposed.
but that three doctors who
performed the autopsy, had been able
to determine the girl was attacked.
Feeling in Sparta was running high
tonight, Sheriff Irvin said. Citizens
quickly raised $100 reward for apprehension
of the killer.
The young girl was first missed
when she failed to return home from
the Dividing Ridge school on the Surry
county line Monday night. She
was seen last walking to school along
the new Scenic highway.
The search for the missing girl was
started after she failed to return
home. Fifty men Joined in (the hunt
which continued until the body was
fouud this morning, less than a quarter
of a mile from the school and
more than two miles from her home.
The sheriff said he was investigat-!
ing several clues, hut declined to re-|
veal their nature. " j
The girl lias several brothers and
sisters but none attend the same
