Is This Another
Victim of Pessinism?

Il Is with joy We note that The
Lakeland News favors state board
OF trade. 1t is with grief that we
contemplate the apparent hopeless
ness OF Editor Hetherington with re-
gard to its organization and success
ful operation. From a recent edi-
ton of the paper we clipped the fol-
lowing:
We do not wish to be put down as
opposing a state board of trade-far
from IT. Such a body, properly or
ganized and vigorously conducted,
could be OF vast benefit TO the state
in the great work OF development that
the next decade will witness. We
merely pointed out that efforts along
this line heretofore have not accom-
plished any brilliant success. Per

ELECTRICAL WAVES
STOP MANY CLOCKS

A number of clocks regulated from
Washington by the Western Union
Telegraph Company in the city. sud
denly stopped at S;46 O'Clock last
night. The city electrician, being
called on to regulate the big clock at
the police station, found the time
piece heavily charged. Just what in
terfered with the service was not ex-
planned, but it was thought electrical
waves in the air caused the trouble.

haps such lessons may be drawn from
previous failures as will insure better
luck next time. II is a faet-a la
mentable, deplOTable fact, but a fact,
nevertheless-that if one desires to
find a real good-and-dead organization
for exhibition or ornamental purposes,
he has only to journey to the nearest
town of from one to ten thousand
population, and inquire for the board
of trade. And the same conditions
probably will produce like results
with respect to a statewide organiza-
ton.
If this condition exists, as. The
News dec1ares-and we believe 1t
speaks with reason-it only empha-
sizes what we have maintained; the
daily and weekly press, the most
powerful vitalizer in the state, should
stir up these business centers with
hot rod and drive away the apathy
which destroys their usefulness. And,
so far as a state board Of trade Is
concerned, this same press, so many
members of which have expressed
themselves as favorable to such an
organization, should keep the matter
eternaIly before the people; should
point out its necessity, as a factor in
the states development: should mold
public opinion in this direction until
success shall have crowned the
effort.
The Journal is glad to feel that
pessimism has no part in its makeup
and throws no wet blanket to chill
and smother it's endeavor. 1t cannot
understand how the blight can have
entered the sanctums of any OF the
bold, progressive men who edit the
newspapers of Florida. Never say
die" should be our motto, brethren.
It is one which when adhered to in
the past has turned many a defeat
into a victory and may still be relied
upon to overcome every obstacle

LESSON IN NATURAL HISTORY
Amusing, Blu. Somewhat Expensive
as Miss Patty Realized When
the Goat Was Through.

Miss Patty Shepard OF North Thir.
teenth street went to the country with
a party OF friends on memorial day.
They stopped at a farmhouse where
some of the party are well known.
Browsing about was an old goat.
When Miss Patty saw her the nanny
was placiily nibbling al a few blades
of grass, and she ~innocently thought
that goats were strictly vegetarians.
On the lawn in front of the porch she
had put her handsome new peach
basket hat, trimmed with pretty ar.
tificial roses, which she had got from
the store the night before. The goat
saw the hat and advanced ioyfully to-
ward it. Miss Patty laughed. The
old thing thinks they're real roses
she laughed. Wont she be fooled
when she smells them?"
Everybody sat still to watch the
goat smell the artificial flowers and
walk away. But the goat fooled them.
The next week Miss Patty bought
another hat.-Philadelphia Times.

Somewhat Peculiar Light In Which
Pious Old Lady Regarded Cats
Act Of Theft.

They pilfer so smugly, too" the

practical use?"

swered:
They have indeed a righteous air,
these pilferers. They actually believe,
I'm sure, that they have just claim
to the ideas they fitch. They remind
me of old Mrs. Harrington.

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
