HOLWORTHY, Notary lic, State of Florida. My commission ex August 13, 1916 \We wish were right sure many of these bright paragraphs Wwe see in some of our exchanges were original. \We'd be glad to copy them or comment on them but don’t ca came HETHERINGTON re me this 6th we from a factory in New York or Ilinois. We are believers in home production in the newspaper office as well as on the farm. The Punta Gorda Herald com- menting on the Telegram's re- marks as to the futility of some of our contemporaries’ attgapts to correct the bad grammar of other contemporaries, declares that grammatical horrors are be- ing perpetrated that ‘“‘can’t be endured by I, nor he, nor any un- offending nominative.” “Be- tween you and I,” Bro. Jordan, we have felt this way about it ourselves sometimes, but charit- ably tried to excuse the brethren, reflecting that “Homer some- times nods.” But some of the Homeric figures astride editorial tripods seem to enjoy a perpet- ual nap, so far as grammatical purity is concerned. —_— Senator Roddenberry denies the charge that has been made in various newspapers that he was in such a state of intoxication when the vote on submission of the statewide amendment came up that he voted against the measure when he intended to vote for it. If the Senator can prove that he was not intoxicat- ed it would seem that he has a m.ig:hl\' ~ood action for libel against some persons and pub- lications. —_—— In view of the dispatches in this afternoon’s Telegram, we have decided not to cross the big pond this summer. It is ever so much better to paddle one’s own canoe in the placid Florida waters, where the terrifying tor- vedo molests not nor makes us afraid. P With 300 members for the Chamber of Commerce, taking in th? very cream of her citizen- ship, and all united in the de- termination to make a strong !mll for her advancement, noth- g can head Lakeland's prog- ress toward her ultimate destiny as.one of Florida’s greatest cities PRERSSERRRI a0 From various investigations, denials, etc., the Telegram s firmly convinced that no member of the Legislature has taken a drink during the whole time spent at Tallahassee. Isn't that lovely ? — MOTHERS' DAY COMES SUNDAY. Mothers’ Day comes May 9—the second Sunday in May. There is plenty of time to make the day a memorable one in the history of Or- lando. Who should be honored more than “Mother?” The slogan of the “The best mother who ever —~in honor of her, of your heart. the mother It’s object is to observe the well- | being and honor of the blessed by that noblest and gacious of all women—mother.

Generally the day is observed on the Friday preceding by the schools, and busi- ness and other organizations ob- serve it on Saturday, followed by church observance on Sunday. 3 -President Wilson issued the first national Mothers' Day proclamation on Saturday, May 9, 1914, The movement has spread and is now in- ternational.—Orlando Sentinel. eaually a Fathers' Delivered anywhere within the to do so if they; for murder or manslaughter. Thirty- five are charged with murder in the irst degree. The District Attorney has ten more cases to present to the | |erand jury. If the calendar is to be cleared by the end of May the three murder courts will each have to dis- pose of an average of one case every | court day. Fifty-one persons have been mur- dered in New York since the begin- ning of the year. In seventeen cases no arrests were ma in four, per-| sons detained were discharged. To mention only three cases wide- | ly discussed: The gangsters that ] 'shm Baff are still at large. The| murderer of five-year-old Leonore {Cohn is still at large. Hanel, the slayer of Mrs. Heilner, is still at, large. | In the last named and most recent case the known murderer was pur- sued by the most elaborately organ- lized search in the history of the po- lice department. 1e is still un- "caught. | Neither police nor courts can 'seem to catch up with the homicide I'habit in New York.

Ilis term of service expired March 3, 1915, SPECIAL NOTICE TO MA- JESTIC THEATER CONTESTANTS The Contest Manager has been approached several times with com- plaints about the buyving of votes by contestants in the race for the au- tomobile offered by the Majestic theater. The rule which prohibited the buying of votes was established sole- 1y for the benefit of contestants, and we are sorry to learn of any viola- tions of same. Gvery contestant who was entered was placed on hon- or, as far as the rules of a contest are concerned, as it would be an are concerned, as it would be an easy matter to evade same, especial- ly buying of votes. A contestant may think it easier to get votes in this manner, but as the contest grows older, it will become harder and harder for her to get the cou- pons. He have advised and warned the contestants about this buying of votes, numbers of times through the columns of this paper, and we think that we have done our duty. We wish to state in all fairness that we have had complaints against nearly every contestant, all of which we are compelled to overlook. The con- test is drawing to an end, and it is our advice that all get out and work for themselves, and pay no attention to rumors and reports. We are here merely as employes of the Majestic theater, to manage the contest, which we are doing to the best of our ability, and, needless to say, im- partially. These reports and rumors have had a demoralizing effect on the contest, therefore we advise that each contestant attend strictly to her own interest, map out her campaign, work hard to suc- and hope that her fellow con- testants are doing the same. Below we give standing of con- testants in the Majestic theater's contest for month ending May 1: Mrs. Charles Conner 5,875,600 Mrs. Kate Booth 31,077,600 Mrs. B. K.
