From the day-gleam to the night He has passed, and yet afar of local matters crop conditions,|He has founda greater light eounty affairs, etc. for $1.00 per year. Old 1General Apathy is in com- mand of the political sentiment of the present campaign in Florida. Sent anywhére} 'Than we know from sun-or star, He hag found a rarer gleam Where no weary tears may blur, He will know a sweeter dream ‘Where the wind-blown grasses stir. The voter resolutely refuses to en-(y. ;.o .ome back home, asleep, thuse, and even the candidate seems With the flag above his face; to go about scattering his sunshine | gy the starry fold to keep in but a half-hearted way. Not much Guard above his resting place; time left in which to warm up, Ang beneath blue summer skies, either. i A writer in the Gainesville Sun strenuously warns the voters against supporting for office any man who favors bondg for any purpose what- ever. The writer's address is “Cooter Pond.” It is such progressive spirits | as thig that inhabit the Cooter Ponds of the earth and that keep theircom- | munities Cooter Ponds always. e SN IR That's a mighty pretty little prose poem Goode Guerry has in this‘ morning’s Tribune, apropos of Moth- | ers’ Day. The sentiment is fine—and how coulq it be otherwise, with such a subject as “Our Original Sweet- hearts?” All the same, it ig more profitable, perhaps, to lay our fair flowers of sentiment at the feet of our present sweethearts—including mother, if it be that she ig left to us. O cesdis J. Fred DeBerry seems to bank hig hope of election to Congress largely on the Kathleen precinet. That's a mighty fine precinct, and it has been known to elect (and de- feat) some pretty good men, but J. Freq will have to carry the war far- ther than that strongholg if he ex- pects to make much of a ripple in this somewhat considerable congres- gional district pond. PRREERRE RS Allie Angle says that it is not Sparkman's ability that got him the chairmanship of the rivers and har- bors committee, but that his high position in Congresg is due to length of service solely. Such being the | this morning when Dr. J. case, what's the use in wasting a real smart fellow like Angle where ability doesn’t count? If just being in Congress a long time ig all that is needed to enable a Congressman to accomplish things, hadn't we bet- ter keep the man with a twenty years' start? i O The Miami Metropolis commise- rates with Lakeland—and also with Marshall—because the unfeel- ing railroag wouldn't hold its train long enough to let us give the V.-P. hig morning meal. “He will never have a chance at any better ham and eggs,’”’ correctly concludes the Met. However, all is well. We cap- tureq the dignitary on his way back home, when he had his evening ap- petite with him, and we are sure the memory of his feed In this city will stand out among his other gastro- nomic experiences even as a peak among the plains, s B et et Somebody ‘“‘put one over' on the good people of Wauchula, and when the train passed through there that wag supposed to have the vice pres- ident on board, a newspaper man was brought forward angd introduced as that high dignitary to the unsus- pecting Wauchulaites. At least, that is the story the Wauchula Advocate tells. Well, the folks probably saw as good looking a man and heard as good a talk ag Marshall would have given them. But we'q like to know the identity of this nervy newspaper man. [} SRASRCRRT GRS Vague accusations—such as call- ing Senator Fletcher a “reactlonary” —may have some effect on a very few uninformed or unthinking per- sons; but when those making such charges are asked for a bill of par- ticulars—cornered, and, requested to specify in the presence of the ac+ cused, just what they mean by their inuendoes—the spluttering explana- tion that a joint debate ig “‘unneces- sary,” will be tak the people generally as an ir ion of an ex- n by ceedingly weak case al of Stockton to meet FIl stum practically ates tHe P former from the senatorial race, and insures what was before a certainty—the triumphant and over- whelmng re-electon of Duméan U Fletcher. ‘virtual Where he dreams below the sod, But a single rosebud lies Now between his heart and God. —Grantland Rice. Dr. J. B. Lowry Wedded To Miss Mertie Gracy A wedding of unusual interest, uniting as it doeg two very popular people, was consumated in B. Low- ry, of Atlanta anq Miss Mertie Irene Gracy, of this city, were united in marriage. The wedding, which comes as a complete surprise to themany friendg of the bride, occurred at the home of Rev. 1. C. |forming the ceremony in the pres- ence of two of the bride's most inti- mate friends, Mrs. C. Rucker Adams and Miss Cora Griffin. After the ceremony the wedding party enjoyed a luncheon just before departing on the Tampa Limited, Mrs, Adamsg re- turning to Lakeland and Dr. and Mrs. Lowry going on to Orlando to attend the State Medical convention. The bride is one of Lakeland's most talented and charming young women. For a number of years she was one of the teachers in the Lake- larid school, ang her pupils loved her for her charming personality and for the able instruction they re- ceiveq at her hands. She will be greatly missed in social and church circles here, anq her many friends trust the day may be not far distant when she and her husband return to make Lakeland their permanent home.

OF THIS CITY SHORT SEVERAL THOUSAND First Estimate of Short- age Thought tu be Fully this much It seems that on March 24, 1914, the Polk County Lumber Co., a cor- poration, bought out the old Build- ers' Lumber and Supply Co. plant and yards of this city. For the past few months this plant has been run- ning under the name of the Dye Mfg. Co., but has now suspended opera- tions, and the Polk County Lumber Co., is now in charge of the entire plant and yard. Immediately upon taking posses- sion of the plant, they proceeded to stock up with lumber, shingles, lath, sash ang doors. Saturday they landed an order for 100,000 cypress shingles and 100, 900 feet of Ilumber, and when they went to fill the order they founq that they were short several thousand feet, ag at first stated. They immediately got busy, and had |the lumber cut at one of their local “mills, anq they will be able to have the order filled promptly amd on time. i They are prepared to fill orders of call kinds for any one that is consid- ;vrin: building, and any one that is "in need of any lumber or doors, or anything that can be made out of ¢ wooq will do well to see them before jbuying, ag they are prepared to meet any and all prices, and can furnish any house bill cheaper than any con- cern in South Florida, as they are affiliated with one of the largest lumber plants in the country, and they have good genuine lumber men in charge of their plant that know the lumber business in every detail, angq will guarantee satisfaction, and stand back of that guarantee. Screens for doorg and windows are one of their specialties. J. H.

This pretty frock may be bullt of taffeta or crepe de chine, and white is the color used. Sleeves are cut in one with a bust - length blouse top that has a rounded- out neck trimmed with a rufling of self materfal. The sleeve ends are given a double edge ruffling bound through the center witha narrow cording. A tiny puffed un- dersleeve of shadow lace ex- tends just below the elbow. The straight, long-waisted por tion is gathered at the top and attached to the short part of the blouse under a cording, while at the waist it is bloused and gathered under another cording and left with a five-inch head- ing over the lace skirt, With these transparent akirts plaited net or chiffon petticoats are usually worn, o that the soft effect is retained without leaving them too sheer. There {8 no reason why, it devel oped In white crepe de chine, this deslgn would not launder nicely. Of ;:uu::e, it would necessitate much care n the process, but it undoubtedly. i —_— TEN MINUTES SPENT READING THE ADVERTISEMENTS MAY MEAN TEN DOLLARS SAVED. A\ Q QA Use leadpenct!
