TRADING AT HOME The old and much agitated “Trade-at-home’ proposition was ex- haustively discussed at a meeting of the Lakelang Board of Trade one night recently. It was stated that a great many purchases which could just as well and just as advantageously be made in Lakeland were being made in Tampa. How to keep this business at home was the subject of an ani- mated —which leq to no satisfactory conclusion. In order to keep all trade at home it will be necessiry to reconstruct human nature to a certain extent. The first step in this direction might be the elimination of that selfishness which is part of the make-up of some people, which looks only to the sav- ing of a few cents on an individual purchase, and which for this trifling personal advantagze woulq cheerfully sacrifice the community interests. Then, there is that little element of foolish vanity, which makes some people get vw notion that if they can parade something that they can boast was purchased in another and N iarger city, it somehow confers a dis- tinction upon them, and marks them as persons of finer discrimination discussion § | and more fastidious taste than the 2 :%: > H n ® no question but that a properly con- .

At 11:55 a. m. Rush sig- nalled, ‘Telegraph and postoffice oc- cupied anq doing business as ever.’ This was followed by, ‘Firing in town; no casualties as yet,” and at 12:21 p. m. ‘Commenced firing on short; federals have commenced fir- ing on U. S. troops." Again at 12:30 p. m. Rush signalled, ‘One thousand men with machine guns reported in this vicinity; desultory firing, heavy at intervals; hurry for Utah’s troops, I signalleq Utah Senq your battalion ashore; urgent; you may steam in closer. At 12:41 p. m. Rush re- porteq his first casualties. “Immediately on landing the Ma- rine regiment under Lieutenant Col- onel Neville, advanced up Calle de Montesinos, seizing cable office and detaching one company to seize the power plant north of the Terminal statiolf anq to cover approaches from the westwarq along railroad tracks.
