MUST LIVE IN FLORIDA ONE YEAR FIRST Miami, Nov. 13.—Strict observ- ance in the matter of state residence for those who desire final naturali- zation papers is being enforced by the United Stateg government and those who attempt chicanery in this matter are being vigorously prose- cuted, as David Baer, a mnative of Austria, recently found when he was committed to the United States fed- eral court by United States Commis- sioner J. W. Ewan of this city be- cause he swore he had been living in Florida a year while evidence was introduced tending to prove that he had spent most of the time in New York city. This case is to beheard inJacksonville on Dec. 7, and is to be pushed ag an example to others, who, it is claimed, have been at- tempting to procure naturalization papers by false representations. Baer, it is said, wished to become al citizen of the United States partial- | 1y in order to prevent his being, pressed into. service in the present ‘European war. Fine Meeting Of ! Good Roads Ass'n - At Haines City As one of the speakers at the meeting yesterday said: If the ln-' terest and enthusiasm tiere manl-: fested was a fair sample of the in-' terest of the people generally throughout the county for good' roads, there is absolutely no reason ! why there should be any longer do-| lay in the matter of securing them. i Between five and six hundred people | gathered at Haines Cir) yesterday. ! They came from all parts of the county, east, west, north and south; many of them coming over roads which, considering that they are supposed to be main highways. are a disgrace to the county. However, these people, in spite of the difficul- ties encountered by many of them in ngetting to the meeting, were good hatured, optimistic and enthusiastic. Everything had been done looking to, the comfort and entertainment of the visitors, and tne Haines City barbecue will be talked of for a long time. Preparationg were made for five hundred, while no less than six hundred probably were served, and' there was still enough left to have fed many more. ‘ There was such a systematic ef- fort made on the part of both the good men and women of the town to do honor to the occasion that it would be worse than useless to at- tempt to mention nameg hut those who were there were loud in praise of the excellent arrangements, the generous hospitality, the hearty and cordial welcome given, and the As- sociatjon, at a meeting held during the day, tendered a hearty vote of thanks to the good people of Haines City. Mr. J. H. Sample was the master of ceremonies, and short addresses were made by Messrs. John 8. How- ard, of Winter Haven; A. J. Hol- worthy, of Lakeland; C. H. Walk- r, of Bartow, and F. P. Goodman, roads, outlining what the Associa- ‘tion had so far accomplished. Mr. John F. Cox, of Lakeland, was to have been one of the speakers, but the rain cut out his address as well as that of some others. After din- ner, Lloyd Tenny started to address the gathering on the subject of cit- rus canker but his address was cut short by a shower which dispersed the folkg to the nearest available shelter and it seemed impossible to get them together again. This was unfortunate for the Association, be- had intended, organization, and doubtless there would have been many ready and willing to do so. The work cannot be carried on without funds and the annual dues have lately been Te- duced to $5; therefore the Board of Governors earnestly asks for the co- operation of the taxpavers the county in this matter. Those inter- ested are asked to gend their check for $5 to the secretary-treasurer, A. J. Holworthy, at Lakeland. If the readers of this paper have not kflnt_v up with the reports of what the Ag- sociation has so far accomplished, it i to be hoped they will inquire from others and get in the line of interest and co-operation, for this is what is county of soon going to secure for Polk a complete system of hard-surface roads. \succeeds, LAKELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOV. 13, 1014 Germans Cross Yser; Allies To Make Desperate Effort To Drive Them Back THE GERMANS ARE MAKING SUPERHUMAN EFFORT TO GET TO DUNKIRK, BUT ALLIES ARE CON- FIDENTC THEY CAN BLOCK THE WAY Paris Reports Less Violent Fighting From Lys To The Sea, and Claims That Rush Of Germans Had Been Check- ed; French Holding Their Positions .(By Associated Press.)
