"It is the women who do the shopping, who keep the run of prices,
who have the keenest scent for increased cost." Thomas B. Reed.
Not only have women the keenest scent for increased cost, but they
have the keenest scent for the places where they get the most for their
money.
This is the reason why 500,000 thrifty women daily visit PIGGLY
WIGGLY Stores.
They know that at PIGGLY WIGGLY they get more for their money
than elsewhere.
They know that the stocks are large and that all of the best food pro
ducts are in arm's reach. They are free from interruption, suggestion or
persuasion; no too zealous clerk to persuade them to buy "something just
as good," or something they do not need.
The prices, the freedom, the cleanliness, the orderly and convenient
arrangement appeals to economical and thoughtful women.
At PIGGLY WIGGLY you get clean Groceries, Fresh
Vegetables and Fruits at Lower Prices.
Take inventory so that you may know what's needed for Friday and do
your shopping here today.

STATE OPINION.
believed to have been the rightful own
ers for scoies of years past, was
drawn and enacted into law.
But in the face of strenuous pro
tests from those who understood the
situation, the bill was vetoed by the
governor.
In this connection a paragraph from
the governor's message to the legis
lature at the beginning of the ses
sion will be of interest. It follows:
(From Governor Catts' Message to
the legislature. April 8. 1919.)
"One of the most important is
sues now confronting the state of
Florida is the question of riparion
rights, overflowed lands rights,
and other kindred legal claims,
based upon these low-lying shore
lands of Florida. In order that
thin question may be settled defi
nitely and fully, once and for all,
and the interests and titles of the
landholders may be protected for
ever, it is absolutely necessary, in
the opinion of the governor, that
suitable laws be passed dealing
with this harrowing and vexed
proposition for all times." St. Au
gustine Record.
BY "K. Y."
Manager Arthur Olsen couldn't
real'y be blamed for not appearing on
the field yesterday to see his Chero
Col i team play. His captain. CI. Bond,
evidently was looking for a pitching
staff as he pitched almost everybody
on the team except the mascot, and He
wasn't there. The K & N. "round
house gang" fell on four pitchers for
a total of thirty-two runs and twenty-four
hits, including three home
runs, two triples and numerous
doubles, while as far as Ellis was con
cerned, one run would have wort the
game, for the Chero-Colas only reg
istered one bingle of his delivery.
Mack Kewis' men laid the game on
ice in the first inning when they
scored thirteen runs off Bond, sixteen
men facing him in that frame. He
gave way to Vickery in the second,
who was also unable to stop tho
slaughter, giving up si; hits for a
total of nine runs. As for errors made
in these two innings, they were "too
numerous to mention."
The Railroaders scored in every in
nin? of the game making one in the
third, five in the fourth, one in the
fifth and thre in the sixth. A. Styles,
pitched the third and fourth innings
for the Chero-Colas, while Sperduto
finished the game.
The only hit of the game made by
the Chero-Colas was in the first in
ning when Vickery singled over sec
ond, going to send on an error. He
was thrown out trying out to steal
third.
Among those -who fattened their
averages were Wentworth. with five
hits out of six times up; Bell, with
three out of four: Brown with four
out of six; Gould with four out of
The Riparian Rights Veto
The recent Florida legislature pass
ed a measure known as the riparian
rights bill. In plain, Vvery-day lan
guage, that bill sought to vest the titl-n
of all lands lying between high and
low water marks in the persons, firms
or corporations who have owned, or
thought they owned this property for
half a century. I-awyers and real es
tate people and practically everybody
else in Florida and elsewhere believed
that the people, firms and municipali
ties possessing lands abutting salt
water had a clear title to them, and
as a result millions of dollars wera
spent in improvements, thousands
were borrowed and loaned on the lands
as security and bond issues mounting
into the millions in the aggregate were
authorized.
Then two cases were decided by the
Florida supreme court, one known as
the Brickcll case and the other as the
Chris Theisen case frbm Pensacola,
the former being settled during th;
last session of the legislature and the
latter some months previous. In these
cases the high tribunal held that the
two old statutes were conflicting but
that the intent of the lawmakers was
to vest all riparian titles In the State
of Florida. These rulings upset the
records of every abstract office in
Florida seaport towns, credit was seri
ously, injured and hugh bond issues
jeopardized. But the legislature was
in session and the authorities ad
vised that a new statute be drafte-1
and passed. Leading lawyers of Tam
pa. Jacksonville, Miami and Pensacola
put their heads together and a bill,
clearifying the old acts and vesting
the title of waterfront lands in the
parties whom practically everybody
Ratifying Suffrage
The Literary Digest has made inquiry
of newspaper editors at the fltate
capitals as to what their respective
states might be expected to do with
idea.
He engineered a tour of the United
States by 20 of Mexico's best known
editors at the expense of this gov
ernment. They found I'ncle Sam could
fight, would fight and was fighting
putting the finishing touches to Kais
erism. When these editors returned to Mex
ico they looked over the American war
cable and educational service, got out
the war cuts and photos, and unwrap
ped the l S. war posters. "Use them,'
they ordered.
Murray's educational campaign go
into full swing, and the literate peo
ple of Mexico rapidly fell into line wltii
the allies.
In addition to war cables, cuts an"
matrices to 31 Mexican newspaper
and daily translated bulletins to 41'
the suffrage amendment, adopted b
house and senate, and soon to he pu'
to state legislatures. It appears that
in thirty-one states there is every pros
pect of ratification. Eight are ex
pected to refuse to ratify. These av
Connecticut, Maryland. Virginia, Koutl
Carolina. Georgia. Mississippi, Ala
bama and Louisiana.
The contest, therefore, will re t'
get five favorable states out of t'.v
remaining nine which are doubtful:
namely, Texas. Florida. Kentuck'
North Carolina. West Virginia, Nev
Jersey, Massachusetts, lthode Island
New Hampshire.
If the antis should be able to swin -five
of those and if all the other pre
dictions come true they could fore
the whole difficult business to be don'
over again. This is hardly likely
Previously the wet forces were almos
solid against suffrage, because the"
believe, and rightly, that suffrage
would lead to prohibition. Now thai
the country is going dry anyhow,- th
wet armies have been pretty well de
mobilized, and their fight lacks polo;
even where It etill exists. This is ex
pected to make the difference in Ohio
for example, which turned down suf
frage twice within the last few years. '
The whole matter is one of tiles'"
"eventually, why not now?" proposi
tions, and there seems little reason
i in prolonging the struggle. Ka'
It grows easier, as public opinion de
velops; but why waste energy trying
to sweep back the tides? Dayton
