Nobody expected the buy-a-bale movement to take care of the cotton crop, or any considerable proportion of it, or to last more than a few weeks, but it helped some in actual dollars and cénts, relieved many in- dividual cases of“distress and its moral effect all over the cotton belt was excellent.

We desire to say that these parties are being given suffi- cient food for any amily dependent upon charity. We also warn the citizens against giving them money for medicine. We propose to fur- nish drugs upon the advice of a phy- | sician, but we do not believe it to be the duty of, the association or of individuals to furnish money for ‘“‘dope.” We ask therefore that yon refer these parties to us when they apply to you for help. We are meeting with great *fator in our work, and we are glad to see that the citizens and organization: supporting the association with the:r money desire that men shall be fed Who claim to be hungry, and so we are in nearly all cases feeding these hoboes. But not one of them gets off without a word of cheer and ex- ‘hortation to live a better life. WALLACE WEAR. MAYOR DESIGNATES PARKING PLACES FOR AUTOMOBILES Lakeland, Fla., Dec. 22, 1914, M7 R. C.
