People who do not like to live in a city had as well begin to look for another location. Lakeland will not suit them long. Anarticle in the Saturday Evening Post refers to the “‘go- pher or ground squirrel.” Pen- sacolans will wonder how so much ignorance can exist insn enlightened country. The man who wrote that article probably thinks gumbo is made of rubber shoes. We would like for Uncle Sam to come and take a look at our post-ofice on a busy morning. We believe he’d realize that Lake- land needs a government build- ing worse than many a town did that already has one. Now, let’s everybody get busy, and get behind this post-oftice matter, and see if better condi- tions cannot be secured. The thing is said to be wholly up to the department at Washington, and we are sureif the Lakeland Board of Trade, backed by the citizens, will go at the matter en- ergetically, g8 d postal accom- modations can be secured. While we are at it, we might as well whoop up free delivery also, to which this office has been eligi- ble for the past six months or more. HERE'S THE WAY IT WORKS. —O0— The Eveninz Telegram has o¢- casionally remarked that every time _-a man puts an advertisement in a daily paper published in his town, he not only advertises his own business, but he advertises his town to the world. The thousands of people who have never seen Lakeland judge it by its newspaper. What we do to create a favorable impression of this city, and how well we succeed, Is evidenced from the folowing extract from the Pensacola Journal, one of the State’s great newspapers: “Nothing could speak in louder terms of the prosperity and thrift of Lakeland than the patronage which is given to The Daily Telegram which has been established less than two months, Usually a daily news- paper is not on a paying basis for some time until cfter the first year, but not so in Lakeland. And, by the way, The Telegram is a ntwspaper which would be a credit to a city of twenty thousand people.” AN OLD STORY. The good Queen Bess in great dis- tress beheld a puddle in her way. She stopped and sighed. “Great Scott!” she cried, “I'll get all splash- ed with mud and clay!™ and then a bloke took off his cloak and threw it at his sovereign's feet; and so she trod across dry shod, and went Ker- whooping down the street. That val- iant knight, who saw the plight, and acted Johnnie on the spot, by that small zame won lasting fame, and is embalmed in poet’s rot. A thousand jays went on their ways, that morn- ing, doing useful things; they mowed rass like men —alas! no poet o They pushed their and dng no Iyre their ¢ their labor sings! plows and milked their cows, their wells and planted trees; is hit. none throws a fit, embalming laborers They had their day and passed awey, and went to The poet | like these. sleep in unknown graves. writes of cheap john knights, and| C’er some foolish action raves.

They aint no man livin,"” *wihich can be a suksess it he harbe:- in the sarpint of tear in his bosom."” I think 1 got the feller to seein things the same way as | was before ke got off the train, and I am writia these few words for the benefit of peple which maybe aint been here long and is afraid of this or scaired of that. The sorrers and bad axsi- dents which has give us all the most sufferin and pane is the ones that aint never happened but which we got a idee was going to happen. Marthy says supper is ready, so no more at present from UNCLE HENRY. 88 AUBURNDALE NEWS NOTES. There was nothing stingy about Santa ('laus when he made his an- nual visit to Auburndale with head- quarters at the Presbyterian church last Saturday night. The tree and side tables were loaded with presents for young and old and everyone look- eod happy. Such a display is usually a sure indication that the community is in a prosperous condition and it is safe to say that no one was forgot- ten.

JANUARY 2, 1913, | WIL' gsTABLISH TEACHERS’ COLONY Noted Minneapolis Pedagogue Buys Large Tract of Land Near Lakeland. Extensive travel over the far west- ern states and the Pacific Northwest and a thorough study of the real es- tate situation has prompted John R.
