In the present con- dition of the bond market, this is regarded as a very fair sale. Some { sales of county and municipal bonds ' have been reported at an apparent. ly higher figure, but these involved interest and commissions, so that the net sale was really less. Of course, as Is always the case, the sale is subject to legal investiga. tion by the buyers, but there is no Teason to anticipate any trouble ln| this respect, and Lakeland will doubtless soon be in position to se. cure the much needed and desirable improvements for which ‘these bonds were issued. | It may be of interest to the people jof Lakeland to know that the bonds {for light and water extension and improvements are already being taken care of by the plant, and that the interest on these bonds s not to be provided for in the tax levy. Net earnings of the plant, to the extent of $500 or $600 a month, are being now set aside to care for these $130,_ 000 bonds. Furthermore, as soon as the improvements to the plant are made the $67,000 worth of bonds now outstanding will be taken from the tax levy and be provided for by the plant's earnings. This is a case where by spending money an actual saving is made to the taxpayers, to say nothing of the improved and ex. tended service secured. CARD OF THANKS The members of the Lakeland Fire Department hereby extend thanks to the citizens who so kindly volun. tered their assistance at the fire Mon. day morning. This act of co.operation has been considered as a token of the esteem in which the firemen are held by the people of Lakeland, thus encouraging us to our intrest in Lakeland’s welfare. There will be a meeting of Palm Chapter No. 26, 0. E. S., Thursday, at 7:30 P. M., at the Masonic Hall. There will be an initiation and a full attendance is desired. Visiting Stars welcomed. - Flora F. Keen, Secty. Mrs. V. C. Barlow is the guest of her mother, Mrs. L. Zeigler, on South Massachusetts avenue, for a few days. The friends of Mrs, Margaret French, who has been seriously ill with pneumonia, will be glad to learn that she is considerably im. proved today. Through the courtesy and co.oper ation of Principal C. M. Jones, it is expected that the children of the Lakeland schools will attend the ball game between the Louisville Colonels and the Chicago Cubs en masse tomorrow afternoon. The management is desirous of |having the young people see these ‘world famous ball players, as this is an opportuniy that may never offer |again to some of them; and a spe. (clll rate of 15 cents has been made to pupils of the school. Tt is probable that the young folks will 2o out from | the echool to the grounds in a body, escorted by members of the faculty. Am.us— SCARED STIFF " IN PENSACOLA Pensacola, March 24.—Judge Mon. roe, of the Court of Record, today caused consternation in the ranks of the alleged gambling fraternity of Pensacola when he sentenced Wil liam Nored, who had entered a plea of guilty to running a cambling house, $500 and one year in jail and an additional one year iIn the event the fine is not pald. The first sen - tence of one year was suspended during 2ood behavior, but is to be enforced if the defendant ever nters the eambling business again. M I OO CROWNNG GANE OF SERES | EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM Mrs. William S. Jennings, presi- dent of the Florida Federation of Women's Clubs, has recently made appointments of prominent women to represent the Federation at impor. tant meetings. Superintendent W. N. Sheats has| again invited the Florida l-‘edeuflonl of Women’s Clubs to be represented on the program at the conference of county suprintendents, high school principals and school boards which will be held in Live Oak beginning March 30. Mrs. Jennings has designated Mrs. George M. Wright, of Lakeland, chair man of the department of education of the State, to speak at this confer. ence. Mrs. Wright will have as her subject, The Florida Federation of Women’s Club’s Plans for Teacher. age in the Rural Schools and School Savings Bank Systems. A school savings bank has been inaugurated in the public school in Sarasota and Mrs. Alice Guenther, president of the Sarasota Woman's Club, who in stalled the system in that town, will have charge of this branch of the educational work throughout the State for the ensuing year, working in connection with Mrs. Wright.

COLONELS The Chicago Cubs reached Lake. land from Tampa at 11:40 o’clock to. day, and were met by a large num- ber of fans, besides the members of the Louisville team, many of whom bad friends or acquaintances among the visitors. The Cubs are a fine- looking set of men, ag becomes the components of one of the world’s greatest athletic organizations, but in this respect they have nothing on our Colonels, nor do we believe they will prove the superiors of the latter on the diamond. The Louisville men have never had an opportunity to let themselves out in any of the games played thus far, as with the exception of the Athletics, they have not been pitted against any club that could really interest them; but in the games today and tomorrow they will put forth their best, and expect to jwear some Bruin scalps dangling from their belts at the close of the two games. Yesterday's game with the Birm. ingham Barons, proved that the Col- onels easily out.class that bunch, )good ball.players though the Barons be. The Colonels walked away with the players there you read about— men of nation wide reputation, the best in the world in their line. And there will be plenty of pep and ginger in the game, too, because both teams will play their level best, as much so as if the game was played in Chicago or New York. Moreover, there is another feature of this matter that should appeal to all. A few men, through their pub_ lic spirit and enterprise, have made this big league ball possible in Lakeland, by giving their personal guarantee for the large sum nwa.-i sary to pay the expenses of maintain_ ing a ball team here during the| training season. Whatever deflclt' there may be at the end of this month these men will have to go down into their pockets and pay. Now, the whole community is get. ting the benefit of this movement, and particularly of the great adver. tising feature connected with it. Not a day goes by but that Lakeland figures in the news of big daily pa. pers all over the country. Particu- larly do the Loulsville papers give large space t othe news from this place, and it is not all base_ball egram has been delivered from 15 4y game by a score of 11 to 6.

As many as four per. sons at one time, and those the most active in producing the paper, have been out of the office on account of sickness. These are all better now, and the places of those yet unable to The people of Lakeland are so well served in the newspaper line that they cannot understand or excuse the slightest irrecularity—irregu. larities which in other towns like Lakeland are the exception, not the rule. TO SEEK LEGISLATIVE AID AGAINST CROP PESTS Jacksonville, March 24.—Dr. H. Harold Hume, of Glen St. Mary, was in the city yesterday on business. Dr. Hume is president of the Flor. ing to the chilly weather the at- tendance was small. Today the weather is much better, and a good crowd is out witnessing the game. Tomorrow promises to be an even better day, and it is ex- pected that the attendance record here tomorrow afternoon.

THIS MAN TALKS TO SUIT US Jacksonville, March 24.—Accord. ing to President Leopold Furchgott, of the Kohr Furchgott Company who returncd to the city yesterday, after an absence of several months in the North, a big business boom is on the way. He said that not only is the wave of prosperity on the way but that it will continue for several years, bas. ing his statements on his knowledge of business affairs and his experience while {n touch with big business men in the North. As to the European war scare as affecting business and causing a depression, that busaboo, he says, is rapidly passing away as it should.
