The school house, butlt by bonds and paid for long ago, the City Hall paid by bemnds, the Water and Light Plant in fine shape 5i§ extending over a large territory and still increasing its revenues, paild by bonds. The money received from the sale of bonds comes to us al; that much additional capital from the outside and is at a low rate of interest. The comtinued steady growth of Lakeland gives us new tax values and if we will take care of| the necessary improvements now, we will have three times as many ‘people to pay the bonded debt of the town in ten years as we now have. Men of enterprise and capital are fn Lakeland today who will invest considerable capital if the election is favorable next Saturday ard who will mot imvest if we continue the present. sanitary system.

BY PARASITE TO BE INTRODUCED BY GOV- ERNMENT. Deep interest is manifested in Florida at the recent announcement that an attache.of the National Bu- reau of Entomology had recently dis- covered in India a parasite which is expected to do away with the pesti- ferous white fly, and the propagation of which will first begin at Orlando. Later the sites will be distributed throughout the entire orange belt. In response to a request for infor- | mation on the subject, L, O. Howard, chief of the burean, wrote Congress- man Frank Clark the following in- teresting letter on the subject: “My Dear Sir—In response to your request for information on the | subject of the recent search for na- tive home and parasite of the white ifly, 1 beg to submit. the following data: “Mr. R.
