Attractions of all kinds follow closely on the heels of one another, and visitors will not miss the entertainments which they Lave been accustomed to in Northern cities. —— The announcement of a new and substantial business block in Lake- land has beconie so common that it hardly evokes comment, Never be- fore were the prospects for the per- manent progress of this city more satisfactory.

Besides the six issues o0 The Evening Telegram, there was isxued The Lakeland News, a large lv-: paper, and two other papers printed under contract, one of which has a circulation of over ©,000 copies. This is an average of 1 1-2 papers each day, to say nothing ol the mass of printed matter issued from our job department. We doubt i any office in the State, in propor- tion to force and ecquipment, has made such a record. While the ather is delightfully pleasant, persons coming out of the bitter cold of the north are complain- ing a little about the heat. On the face of this, it is a trifling amusing to read in the California papers about the “Orange crop of Florida Frozen.” The only injury the weath- er has done Florida oranges is because of the fact that there hasn’t been quite enough cool weather to color them up attractively. Some way oranges down here seem better this year than ever before—and that is =aying much. - ¥ SIS THE LAKELAND NEWS. —0— We would be glad if every business man of Lakeland would take a copy of The Lakeland News, issued from this office yesterday, and examine it critically. We would be glad for them to compare it with any weekly newspaper published in Florida, or anywhere else for that matter, as re- gards its size, make-up, amount and character of reading matter, and the general characteristics that go to make up a good weekly paper. Our business men who do not have an advertisement in The Lakeland News, are making a great mistake. While The Evening Telegram covers the city with a thoroughness un- equalled by any other newspaper ev- er published here, The Lakeland News still holds undisputed sway in the country. It fills a place in the newspaper field that no daily can supply. because it goes to ¢ Jentele that is difficult to reach with a daily. Some people suggested that when we started a daily we would “let the weekly run down.” We would like for them to inspect yesterday’s issue of The News, and see how “run down” it is. The Lakeland News has always, admittedly. stood in the front rank of Florida's weekly pa- pers, but, frankly, we think ilJ was never quite so geod as it is today, No city of the size of Lakeland in this country has a better fewspaper cervice than is supplied by The Eve- 1ing Telegram and The Lakeland News, FLORIDA'S REFORM SCHOOL DISCUSSED BY W. H. MILTON Jacksonville, Nov. 18.—Speaking hefore the Florida Conference of Charities in this city this afternoon Hon. W, H. Milton had the follow- ing to say in regard to Florida's In- custrial and Reform school, which institution is located in Mr. Milton’s liome town: “l am glad of this opportunity to say a few words relative to the Flor- jda State Reform School, as it and| its work, its aims and its results, should be better known to the citi- zens of Florida. “l have many requests from wid- owed mothers and fathers whose er- ring boys and girls need a stronger hand than theirs to train and care for them, for information relative to the school. There is not sufficient knowledge of this public institution, which in my opinion is doing one of the greatest works for Florida of any of its institutions. Located Near Marianna. “The Florida State Reform School is located three miles southwest of | Marianna. The grounds consist of 600 acres of pine land and the lo- cation is healthy. The institution is for both white and colored children, but according to law, the two races do not assocviate together, the buildings for the two races being about a half mile apart and on differ- ent sides of the road which bisects the land.” Mr. Milton said there were now about ninety boys in the school and| six girls. The children, he said, ave being taught useful trades and are made to feel that they are in a home | rather than a penitentiary. He stat- ed that if judges, in sentencing chil- dren, would bear in mind the idea of reformation rather than punishment, more good could be accomplished. Numerous questions were put to| the speaker relative to the method | of conducting the school and Mr. Milton showed himself possessed of thorough knowledge of the work and scope of the institution, ithan extensive, farming. came before THE EVEN Herron Theatre MABLE PAIGE and her company 2 nights beginning £ Wednesday, Nov. 22 1st night “Lost Trail” 2nd night “Billy” Prices 25c¢. 50c, 75¢ 600D ROADS TRAIN Caprying the campaign for im-l Jlic highways out of Rich-! roved B 1, Va., after the clese of the con-: of the American Association for! iway lmprovement and its allied ! rizations in that city, the Al-i lzutic Coast Line Railroad company | on November 24 will send on tour ! one of the most complete good road ! oxhibit trains that ever rode on rails; ard the service will eventually visit | this community to conduct an edu-; caticnal conference for better hlgh-é | GETTING STARTED waye Farming in Florida is a Businm!

A telegram from San nardino, Cal., in last weck's “because the artificial coloring of oranges is no longer permitted, East- ern tables this Thanksgiving will be without oranges so far as California is concerned. Heretofore by use of Southern California oranges has us- ually been in New York and in- termediate points in time for the country's annual feast day." Farmers and manufacturers who use milk to any extent, have been re- duced to the last extremities by the enforced rise in the price of that commodity, and have been experl: menting with an artificial substitute for which great things are claimed. It has been discovered that by steeping the beans of the soja plant, a variety of pea indigenous to Asia, and grinding them afterwards in a mill, a white homogeneous liquid is obtained, strongly resembling milk in composition. From this, quite passable cheeses havebeen made, al- though its use for drinking purposes does not seem quite practicable.
