CLINT BROWN BURNED T0 THE GROUND | \ Su'n.('!h' ' mornitig about 2 o'clock the home of Mr. Clint Brown oi North Dakota avenue, was burned to the ground, the family barely es- caping from the burning building in their night clothing. When the fire was discovered the flames had gained great headway, and being some distance from telephone connections, it was some time before the alarm could be sent in. The fire department responded immediately, but, although the house is in the city limits, it was out of the water zone and the fire- men were compelleq to stand by and see the house burn down, when it could easily have been saved water been obtainable, How the fire started will probably never be known. Mr, Rrown had left ! home to go to sit up with a sick! relative, and the mother and five children retireq between 6:30 and 7 Saturday evening. No fire had been in the kitchen stove, and the first intimation the family had of the fire was when they awoke to find them- selves almost hemmed in by the | flames. They managed to make their | way out, clad only in their night clothes. Will Harrington, that neighborhcod, was fthe first to see the fire, and he vainly tried to save some of the furniture, but sue- ceeded in getting owut wnly a chair and a mattress. He declared that if he could have found an axe to have broken in a door he could have saved the piano. Mr. Brown states that he had $1,- 500 insurance on ‘the house ang fur- nishings. 9 bad | fives who in NOTICE Lakeland Lodge No. 45, &nights of Pythias, will give an entertain- ment with refreshments tomorrow night at 7:30.| All Knights are cor- dially invited to attend.

I hearq several gentlemen at the meeting say they wanted the busi- ness taken out of politics and sug- gested a board be elected to look af- ter jt. My idea of politics is that it consist of a candidate and the voters, and any man running for an office of a board of control is just as much of a politician as a commission that has been elected. The only differ- ence is one is before and the other fter taking, Out commissioners should not be <’0ndomnod by our actions without cause, the accusations that have been brought against them has been very satisfactorily explained, anq if any man or set of men think they have not done their duty for the benefit of themselves and city they should cause an investigation to be made and if the commissioners are foung guilty they should be calleq to an account and if they are innocent they should be vindicated and put right in the eyes of their fellowmon. life or even a4 part of it harboring a feel- ‘im: of distrust against his fellowmen that may have been createq by back- biting in false accusations.

Lakeland is our municipal house and we should do all we can to keep the trash from the doors and after you have taken a bath and satisfieq your appetite the next best thing to do to make you feel good is to do some- thing for your fellowmen. I think the thing ex-President Roose- velt ever said was: “The only effec- tive way to help a man is to help him help himself,”” and if you are going to do anything for your city anqd fel- lowmen don't put it off, go, look in the glass and see if there is not forewarnings of an inevitable end of your opportunities. I have an idea of advertise- ment for Lakeland that 1 want to get before the public as well as the fif- teen men that constitute the pres- ent municipal improve- ment .

Bditor Telegram: I wish every man in Lakeland could have been to {the fire Sunday morning and by the "time they hag seen the last timber of that two story house the | most flames, 1 feel sure that even the couservative citizen would go away with only one idea in mind: *l MUST VOTE FOR BONDS to extend | ¢ | the jon water lines."” the outskirts The people living pay taxes and should be protected. Those of us who have the water protection ang the convenience of electric lights should remember that there are many in the suburbs who are entitled to these improvements, ang if we are going to make a town here that everybody will be proud of let us not be stingy about bonding for enough to make such improvements as are necessary. The proposed issue, aside from the improvements to the light ang water plants and extension of light ang water lines, also contem- plates the expenditure of $10,000 for a fire alarm system, which tainly . This would give us fire alarm boxes at the street cor- ners, and in this y the fire de- partment would know at once where the fire is located, instead of having to do a Sherlock Holmes stunt, as at many times our only infor- bond is cer- a4 nece present, mation being that the fire is in Ward 4 or 3, case may be.
