G. xnmluba '1 fi Seate Board of alth, #T% Porter has been induced to bring the exhibit of the State Board to Lakeland for two days, Monday and Tuesday next— the first two days of the fair. As there is no suitable place for the exhibit at the fair grounds, it will be placed in the Dyches build- ing near the Wstern Union office, where the public is cordially invited to call and inspect it. The exhibit presents in concrete form matterg relating to the dissem- ination and prevention of diseases, and is very interesting and instruc- tive. It will repay all who visit it, being highly educational in char- acter, and invaluable in its lessons | of community and individual health-' fulness. In Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa where the exhibit has|ment and give work to thousands of association been on display, it has been visited by many thousands. Subscriptions for a local mutual building and loan association recent- ly taken by Mr. M. G. Willard, | number fifteen, ranging from 3500“ to $1,100 each, and aggregate $13,- 600, which seems pretty good fol'I these “hard times.” Mr: Willard says he would like it better to have had at least forty charter members, and thinks there should have been that many in a town like Lakeland, for such town builders as these con- cerns usually are, and as he expects | this will be. Still, he thinkg they will incor. porate very soon, as from these sub- | scribers can be chosen a board of | officers and directors that any finan— cial institntion may well be proud of, and that will be a guaranty that al] those having any sort of business with the institution may feel cer- tain of prompt service and a square deal. ‘The subscribers so far are: H. D. Bassett, Dr. Wi. R. Groover, W. H. Harrison, M. F. Hetherington, Geo. ‘Wi. Mershon, H. May Pate, G. C. Rogan, D. O. Rogers, J. L. Skip- per, Dr. 8. F. Smith, Edwin Spencer, Jr.,, Wim. Steitz, M.

O 00D Rouss FOR POLK CouNTY To the Tarpayery of Polk County: In a recent lssue of the Manufac. turers’ Record appears an editorial, with caption as above, calling at- tention to the widespread distrees throughout theland by reason of the lack of employment for hundreds of thousands of men. The article goes on to say that city, county, state and national governments have be- different parts of the county, & lot of work done by committees repre- senting the varipus road districts, the gathering and compiling of an immense amount of data, trips of investigation in different parts of the State, meetings with the county fore them an immense amount of | commissioners, and so on, we have work which must be done within the | gotten to where the commissioners next few years, and that these two! have reason to believe that responsi-— facts suggest with nnnnsweubleible partieg will shortly be ready to force the wisdom of such work being 1ay and submit for their approval a dong now while it can be done, by piece of road which it is believed is reason of business depression, at a both practicable and efficient for a ery low cost as compared with busy periods, while at same time it would help create the much-needed employ - men who otherwise would be de. pendent on charity; not a creation of work purely to find employment for the unemployed, but merely do - ing now what must be done sooner or later; doing it at a lower cost than it can be done later, and yet in doing it now thousands of people would be saved from desperate pov - erty and the tide of business turned to larger prosperity. fin this connection it may not be amisg to call attention to the jgreat public improvement, than which there is not one more needed at this time for the vital Interests of this section of Florida. I refer to a county-wide system of good roads for Polk county. The Polk County ‘Good Roads association organized in July last, has by persistent effort on county.wide system. When this shall have been done it is the earn- est desire of every member of the (represented hy promi - nent taxpayers selected from all over the county) to secure a petition | signed by the necessary number of taxpayers and lay the same before the county commissioners requesting the immediate calling of an election for thepurpose of bonding the coun-' ty for a system of roads. It is hoped | that this election may be calledl early in the fall, but in order tor | this to be accomplished the work otl the association must go right along.l and its progress depends largely upon the moral and financial sup. port of the taxpayers of the county. If any group of men have a betAI ter plan of procedure in order to ac- complish the desired end I believe that every man of this organization would cheerfully transfer his mem-— bership and efforts to a new associa the part of a few men (financially tion, but new life must be put into assisted in a small way by a few [the work now or it will die a natural more) created a good deal of inter- death and the active interest in the est up and down the county and did j€00d roads movement will have a much good work in holding meet .| setback from which it will be hard ings In various parts of the county, | to recover. preparing maps showing suggested| Men who are, either by counter linesof road, going thoroughly into!gaction or indifference, neglecting to thequestion of various materials and co-operate in this important matter, types of road construction, meeting|ought to realize on their holdings as and conferring with the county|goon as possible for unless Polk commissioners, framing specifica - | county shall very soon do some. tions and securing the co-operation thing towards getting into the good of the county commyissioners in ad-|roads class, property is bound to de- vertising for bids for the construc-|preciate, for other counties are mov~ tion of a sample type of construction | jng, and the intelligent settler will which has been found to be both|gecline to locate in a section where practicable and efficlent.
