The mean tem- perature for Bartow for the month of March was 44.2, while the mean for Lakeland was 50. This compari- son is not made in order to discrim- inate against Bartow, but, as Bartow has hitherto been the nearest point to refer to for climatological data, Lakeland has been misrepresented. The temperature and 1ainfall is now published daily, and a sum- mary, including that of other Flor- ida towns, will hereafter be pub- lished about the first of each month. 1t is expected that the Lakeland sta- tion will be included in the map published in Tampa newspapers within a few days.

Keystone Night 10 and 15¢ FARMERS GLUB S | MEETING TODAY WITH | EH. VANSICKL[R The Farmers’ Uuh enjoyed a most | meetinz at the hospitable | pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. H. Van- Sickler today. There was a fair at- tendance, notwithstanding this is rather a busy time with our farmers, ! for everybody who can do so is al-| ways glad of an opportunity to visit the VanSickler home. It is ideally adapted to such a gathering, situat- ed near beautiful Lake Hollings- worth, and embowered among or- ange trees. While the house is only a few hundred feet distant from the lake, it is 70 feet higher than the water, so that it is at all times swept by delightful breez and mands a beautiful est and grove. By noon a considerable number had gathered, and the time was spent very pleasantly in social in- terminzling, friendly and informal. At this hour dinner was announced, and all gathered about the long and bountifully laden tables which were spread on the verandas, which al- most surround the house. After the blessing had been asked by Rev. F. . Callahan, all fell to and did am- ple justice to the splendid repast which had been made up from the contents of the well-filled baskets, which, according to custom, the members of the club had brought with them. There were some town farmers present, these acquit- ted themselves bravely on this oc- casion, doing as effective work as if their entire lives had been spent on the farm. After dinner the business of the meeting was taken up. This was ‘Ladies’ day,” the topic for discus- sion being “Home Improvement.' Mrs. Conibear is chairman of this department, but unfartunately was unable to attend, being confined to her home by an attack of grip. In her absence Mrs, F. J. Julian had charge of the meetine. Splendid pa- pers were read by Mr: VanSickler, Mrs. Kelsey, and Mrs. W. Mer- cer, all tending toward the best methods of making “The Tlome Beautiful.” These papers were so meritorius, and dealt with a topie of such general interest that the Telegram will print them for the benefit and instruction of its read- ers. The day was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone present, and it does any one good to attend these gatherings. Especially are these meetings of in- terest and benefit to the newcomer to Florida, who can learn much from and the experience of those who have preceded him, as well as from de- lightful friendships and acquaint- ances, & N.

Recent experiments show that the color of milk is chiefly due to the pres- ence of carotin, a coloring matter found abundantly in green plants, es- peclally in grass. The yellow pig- ments of our bodies also consist of carotin, which is probably derived chiefly from our food. G| Clear Pictures Good Ventilation 'METHODIST $. S. PICNIC ENJOYED BY LARGE CROWD The annual picnic of the First | Methodist church which occurred { sterday at Winter Haven, was a yvery enjoyable event. About 250 members left Lakeland early yester- day morning, going up in special coaches to that place. At Lake Al- fred the Lakeland picnicers were met and welcomed by a committee of young ladies from the Winter Ha- ven Sunday school. Automobiles were furnished by various citizens of that thriving town for the trans- iporlalion of the young people to the iplcnic grounds, on the shore of Lake Howell. Here tables had been con- structed under the oak trees, the bath house and boats were placed at the disposal of all. fIn short, everything that could be done for the comfort of the Lakeland par- ty was done by the people of Win- ter Haven, who displayed great hos- pitality and showed them every courtesy, Bathing, boating, and the program, planned and carried under the able direction of Mr. E. Lufsey, and Mr. L. C. followed by a typical picnic contributed to make a day and entertainment for both the young and old. A score or more of young people motored over from Lakeland to attend the picnic which increased the number to about two and ticipated in this outing.
