All love letters will bear 12 cents in stamps in the future if they are to reach their destination on Sun- day. Cupid can always be depended on to find a way. The Ocala Star says the reason they don't use the Associated Press service is because they are “too bhusy reprinting the Telegram’s feminine caditorials.” We manage to print ‘em, and the telegraph, too, but then we must remind ourselves that Lake- land is quite an up-to-dute city and shouldn't expect <o much of the smaller Florida towns On account of the heroic actions of the little pet kitten which saved a little girl's life in a California town, we believe there will be oth- ers to admire cats in the future aside from old maids. This is the first in- stance that has come to our notice of a cat acting in the capacity of a life saver, and we are more con- vinced than ever that they should be well treated. It took the Apopka Tribune only two issues to take its dying @asps, and is passed away to join the “in- numerable host” that have gone be- fore. It's not such an easy matter to keep a mnewspaper alive and healthy, very few physicians being #ble to diagnose its case and remedy its ailments before it has *‘passed over the river.” A St. Petersburg man looked down the street the other day and saw only twenty-seven men - think of it! In Lakeland one can see twenty-sev- on dozen any day, and a lot of pretty wirls in addition. St. Petersburg has the crowds in the winter, but Lake- land has the advantage of being a live town al] the year round, which condition we much prefer, thank you Heard a woman say she was glad her hubby was coming home Sat- urday beeause she could use the ex- tra dime, that she would have to put on her Sunday letter to him, for an ice cream soda. {t also saves her the worry of wondering whether. he would have put the extra stamps on his letter. We see very clearly where this new postoffice ruling is going to create a great deal of do- mestic infelicity. Jeff Browne, a former candidate for governor, hos now taken up his residence in Miami. He will spring into popularity in his new home quite promptly if he gives a recep- tion or two and serves the same brand of punch that he gave the press gang when they were enter- tained in his Key West home five vears ago. “You may break, you may shatter. the glass if you will, but the memory of that punch clings 10 our memory still.” perous Fall and Winter. Every indication points towards one of the best winter seasons in the history of Florida and the following from the Tampa Tribune covers the matter in a way that makes it well worth considering. “Nothing less than an appalling catastr ' can prevent the coming fzll i ..cer breaking all records for prosperous conditions in the State of Florida. There is evidenced on every hand a remarkable condition of activity in preparation for these seasons. The Florida town or county that is not just now conducting or about to embark on some plan of potential development and improvement is in- deed a rarity. There has never been a time wheu public and private enterprise were more intent upon the doing of es- sential things. Private business concerns are en- larging their stocks and spheres and new ones are opening for the accom- rodation of increasing demands. The big industries of the State are pros- pering as never before. Maritime commerce at the ports of the State is reaching unprecedented propor- tions, undreamed of a few years ago by our most devoted optimists. The phosphate mines are yielding their most plenteous output. The Tampa cigar industry, one of the greatest single industries in the country, is i fine condition and mounting to a record-breaking production. The citrus crop promises to be the best, in quantity and quality, in our history and to bring the most satis- factory prices ever realized. Fisheries, lumber, sponge and oth- er importunt industries arve flourish- ing. In the construction of public works for the general benefit Florida is at present making unprecedented strides, Twenty-two countics are now engaged upon systematic came- paigns of highway improvement. A dozen other counties are preparing for bond issues for good roads, Un- fortunately, the State itself is not kceping pace with county enterprise in this important respect, hecause ‘of the failure of proper conyict legisla- tion at the Legislature, Bu the counties are rapidly connecting up a network of improved highways, which will prepare the way for the Swate roads wlich public sentiment vill finally force the Legislature to provide for. The cities and towrs are abreast of the march of Florida progress. Tam- P, voting 1,700,000 of bonds for paving, sewers, city hall, parks and municipal docks, sets a pace which others will follow according to their Tesources, Jacksonville is to have a speclal session of the lLegislature to provide the means for a great in crease in its harbor facilities. Key West, booming with the advent of a railroad, is making remarkable ad- vancement, and promises a tourist hotel second to none in the State. Pensacola, Miami, Ocala, Sanford, Gainesville, Bartow, Palatka, St. Augustine, lLakeland, Plant City, Ar- cadia, Fort Myers, are all carrying forward their internal improvements at a most gratifying rate. On every side there is the inspiring note oi construction. With the passing of heated politica] contests, differences are being submreged in the flood tid. of prosperity. The “destructives” are scarcely heard these days; the “constructives” have the floor anu they are in undisputed charge of op- erations in this fair nad f. ing commonwealth of ours. The winter scason will tind Flor- ica in fully one hundred per cent last arow better shape to receive and enter- tain and interest the thousands of visitors who seek its congenial and hospitable limits than it has ever been before. The people who have been coming to Florida for years kave naturally desired to see th. State’s increase in population and wealth reflected in increased im- Provements and facilities for living aud for business. They wil] find the State has not been asleep since last season. They cannot avoid the con- clusion that Florida is realizing its own future and is taking all neces- sary steps to derive the actual bene- fits of that future. With its soil vielding greater crops and large: profits, its mines producing their en- hancing contributions, its citizens alert to the opportunities that are all around them and determined to make their State and he best State in the Union, every present fact en- couraging and every prospect prom- ising, there is reason for the most sincere self-congratulation and for the literal truth of the statement with which the Tribune heads this article: “Florida is approaching its most prosperous fal] and winter.”— St. Augustine Record. POULTRY .. Department. . Edited by J. H. Wendler, Lake- land, Fla. Hatching Season. No better time exists in Florida fcr hatching eggs than the four fall and three spring months, as it is al- most impossible to raise a chick hatched in late spring or summer. If your hens have not molted yet it is well to force the molt, by either feed- ing them a little oats for twc.ve days, a little bran or nothing at all for three or four days. They will be ravishingly hungry, but that won': hurt them, besides it reduces any surplus fat, and loosens up the feath- ¢rs. Then by feeding heavy after- wards, the new feathers are forced along and your hens will be in good shape for winter laying. If hens are through molt, it is well to se- lect your breeding stock and mate Selecting only such healthy, robust and up your yards. fowls as are vigorous, If you have no good breeders o your own, you can always secure gsame from some reliable breeder, or get eggs for hatching. If eggs are set under her, place a camphor egg or some moth balls in each corner of nest as safeguard against mites and lice. J If eggs are set in incubator, take your incubator out into sunlight and zir for a week before placing eggs therein. Remove all the old burlap and disinfect thoroughly. One of the most profitable ad- juncts to the farm and house lot is a yard of ducks. Ducks are very prelific, grow off rapidly, are good layers and if kept away from pud- dles their eggs are far superior to hen eggs, having a delicious flavor and for cooking purpeses are far su- perior to hen eggs as one duck egg i usually as large as two ordinary hen CgBs. Ducks are easy to raise; “a duck hatched is a duck raised.” They de- velop rapidly and at ten weeks are rcady for market, and at four to six months they commence laying,there- fcre ducks hatched in September or October make fine breeders in March The best duck today is the Buff Or- pington duck; they are heavy layes o pure white shelled eggs, laying as high as 350 eggs per year, add a whole flock has been known to aver- age B02 egas per year, They ave a large duck, weighing cight and % pounds, small eaters, beautiful to look upon and delicious to eat. The Pekin duck is an old time standby for genera] purpcse duck, is snow white in color, good layers, and excellent market fowls, weigh- ing ten to twelve pounds each. The Indian Runner is perhaps the most popular of all ducks today. They meet the demand for small carcass, weighing four to five pounds cach, are heavy layers and, like the Leghorn, are non-setters (though oc- cusionally one does get broody), are fawn and white in color, lively and spry as a cricket, yet will not fly over a two-foot fence; their eggs rua high in fertility and ducklings arc a8y to raise. Ducks do not need a pond or pud- dle to play in, in fact, the less they have to dabble in the better off the; will be, but always have plenty of drinking water before them where they can get it day or night. They roost on the ground and no build- ings are necessary, unl)‘ rongh shel- ter for stormy weather By all means do not fai) to hateh 2 ook of ducks this tall if you care at them i e e all for Yours sincerely, JoH WENDLER A MAN UNDER THE BED. \ Philadelphia salesman, return- thg from a trip through the middie west, tells a story —wiheh he was an incident of his trip- of a woman who at last found what she looked for—a man under her bed “A newly married pair,” said the salesman, “occupied a berth in the Pullman coming from Cincinnati Evidently the woman occupied the upper berth, and not long after the curtains had been drawn and every- body had retired, those near the pair heard the woman whisper: ** ‘Peter, dear, I have at last found what 1 have looked for so many years.' “*What's bridegroom. “‘A man under my bed adelphia Times. savs that?" inquired the Phil- The Chipley Gin Co. has been over- hauling its equipmen: and adding uew machinery to the plant, which includes an up-to-date grist mill and is ready to start up as soon as cotton is ready to gin. The fleecy staple is opening up well in some sections already and more than an average crop, it is expected, will be gathered.—Chipley Verdict. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— ———— e e e e e e e e e e e THE PASSING OF THE OLD ORDER sty The old order changeth. Things that used to be hushed up with a wink and a nod are no longer smoothed over. Methods in business, manipulations in politics and trans- actions in governmental affairs that d muster without serious criti- cism, two and even one decade ago, are now held up to obloquy. The reason for the change is, the public conscience has been awak- ened. Men and women are innately no more honest now than they werc ten or twenty years ago, but the standard of honesty in public things has been raised. It would be utterly impossible for the Republican prrty to steal a pres- jdency now, as was done in 1876. The party would not attempt it in the first place and the people would net stand for it in the second. When barytes was discovered in flour a few years ago, nothing was done about it except the housewife, perhaps, changed her brand of flour and possibly her grocer. People no longer put sand in su- gar, cocoanut hulls in pepper and water in whiskey to any apprecia- ble extent. The laws prohibit such pruacticos for one thing, but the peo- ple resent them and see to it that these laws are pretty generally en- forced. The public conscience has been aroused. The people are waking up. It does not take o very aged per- son to remember the times when the average man pointed with pride to the fact that his congressman or his senator engaged in the practice of law with great corporations for ciients. But the average man has quit slumbering. He can now see tkat moral turpetude must exist when a lawyer takes a fee from the people to serve them in Congress and at the same time accepts a still larg- er fee from the interests that are opposed to the people. Grafting in high places is no lon- ger fashionable, This awakening of the public con- science has taken from the United States Senate chamber the Forakers, the Baileys, the Aldriches and the Guggenheims. It has robbed the commons and the Paynes of their influence in Congress. It is causing the overthrow of the Taft adminisz- tration. It caused the nomination of Woodrow Wilson and it will cause his election.--St. Petershurg Inde- pendent. Automobile Economy. About the only thing in owning an automobile is that the old tires may be taken into the house for the baby to chew on.—Gal":ston News. ORDINANCE NUMBER 141.

No More Blowouts or Punc. tures Tire Troubles Ended Have Your Tires Filled With RUBBERINE Rubberine guarantees you against punctures, blow.oy:s rim cuts and leaky valves. The method of filling’s mechanically correct. The inner tube is filled while on the rim. It is injected into the tires through the valve stem, at a temperature that does not impair the inner tube, and when once cool is a substance in feel, con sistency and elasticity not unlike a good class of rubber, by light—so light that the little added weight is .not noticeable and so resilient that one cannot tell when riding in a ca whether its tires are filled with rubberine or air. It is thought by many that the rebound is not as grea as when using air-filled tires, consequently there is less straiy on the springs, the car rides easier and life is added to the ca ia general, making automobiling a pleasure as it means the end of tire trouble. It eliminates uneasiness, blowouts, loss of temper. broke: engagements, pumping, heavy repair bills, 75 per cent auto trou. ble, relieves your wheel of any attention until your casing is worn out Will increase life in your casing 100 per cent.
