That is, in fact, a local patriotism that prac- tices charity to a fault.” “There is not one rich man or family in all of Lakeland, but al- most every one is comfortable and own their homes. “Yf there may be a case of want, if the object may, or not, be deserv- ing, nobody stops to inquire. The Telegram constitutes itself an en- tire relief committee, aciing in- stantly and infallibly and securing funds and provisions and if needs be, doctors and trained nurses to give instant assistance and substan- tial relief—the citizens responding as a unit. “You must know, too, Lakeland is a young town. When she is as aged as Pensacola, St. Augustine, Kevy West, Jacksonville or Tampa— well, I wish I may be here then to see it. The foundations of a city once laid right and the raising will be symbolic of the compass, the square and the level.” My friend asked: ‘“How much pay does a Lakeland booster set?” 1 had to answer: “Often knocks."” and “lots of them kicks.” But do you know one of the best blessings ' in disgulse is the knocker? One of the sweetest of the classics in mu-'! gic is the anvil chorus, the product of the man with the hammer. He builds our homes, our factories, our railroads, our machines, cur fences and our fame. By nature and by trade he is a knocker. God help the | man with the hammer. If tie knocks —nails or characters—his noise making causes folks to stop and lis- ten and look, and many, very many {of the onlookers hear, see and real- {'ize the facts who might pass by like of the heaven-ordained knocker whom all sane people realize to be brainless when hammering away at character. And this reminds me: week with a party of friends, I was ‘passing through one of those crim- | inal confirmatories—a convict tur- pentine camp—and what we heard there almost clotted the blood in | the hearts of the four of us. But “Knock ’em Bubber; lmock| ‘em, he blangs to You.” Now let us forever abolish the Mason and IDixon’s line of the rail- road, south side and northside Lake- land is all good. I still have Bibli- oal reasons to expect six more years of life. And I believe T will see 20,000 actual residents in Lakeland and I am still doing my best to help that happy consummetion; anl to build a city we must also build up rural environments. Lots of them, orchards and farms. ALBERTUS VOGT. R R R WOOF! I AM HERE WHO AM I?
