The propo- sition was also made to the city gov- ernment, who agreed to co-operate with the Board of Trade to the ex- tent of one-half the amount required, if the latter body considercd the scheme sufficiently meritorious, Af- ter careful investigation, the Board decided to turn down the proposi- tion, though they did not question its merit; and, instead, on motion of John F. Cox, the Board unanimously concurring, it was decided to use this money to pay for 960 three- months subscriptions to the Lake- land News, to be sent to parties who might be seeking information about this city or section. In other words, instead of paying $240 to an outsider for a single page in a booklet to be indiscriminately circulated, and which might fall in the hands of only a few people who are interested, 960 people who have already expressed interest will re- ceive thirteen weekly visits of a pa- per devoted wholly to Lakeland, and which each week will present an ac- curate picture of conditions as they exist here, and give them a better idea of the country and the commun- ity than they could possibly secure from any other source. That this is by far the best form of advertising, and incomparably the cheapest, is evident to anyone who studies the matter most casually. — NOTICE, HUDSON BARACAS There will be a moonlight straw ride Tuesday night Philathea class.

And while he railed at womankind I smiled behind my fan, For, said I, “We may be dreadful, but we're good encugh for men.” Oh, it's woman this and woman that and “‘woman s to blame.”? (Remember, back in Eden, shifty Adam said the same!) It's woman's clothes, and woman’s ways, her hats, her heels, her walk! Tt's woman, I'm tired of the talk. It's “the woman with the serpent’s tongue’” when poets wield theflail. Or, “the female of the speci more deadly than the male! ft's *‘the hobble-skirted horror,” luring men to sin and debt. It's the vain and wily “vampire” “the strang-armed suffragette!” or that! *“ine woman tempted me!" But it's “Oh, forgive me, angel!” when they're waking from a spree. It's the mannish modern woman, or the silly, frilly one; But it's “God bless home and moth- er” when they want their cooking done. It's the “sneaking, pecking woman,” never known to work or think; It's the nagging, ragging woman, driving, patient man to drink; It's the “rambling, gambling woman, spending all her husband's cash; It's the ghoulish, clubbish woman, letting hubby live on hash. —_——— Oh, it's woman this and woman that, and Lord, I didn’t do it! Behold, the woman lured me on! else, “‘she drove me to it!" t's woman here and woman there, man’s burden all through life!

Miscellaneous Shower For Miss Summerlin A miscellaneous shower was given for Misg Summerlin by Mrs. S.
