there were no big catches. Pickerel

the pike are a little suspicious and but
very few catches were reported. There
are innumerable perch in the lake and
these are the most frequently caught
fish. 1t is a little too early for the
black bass fishing. The lake has been
well stocked and frequenters Of this
popular resort are anticipating a high
ly enjoyable season at the lake. Never
have there been so many summer tour
lists so early in the season to take up

not yet arrived; the type to be used
in printing The Telegram, the
paper on which to print it, the work

NOT AN APOLOGY.

From the expressions heard on
every hand OF enthusiastic approba-
ton of The Evening Telegram, We
do not consider an apology necessary
for its makeup and contents. How
ever, we desire to offer a word OF
explanation as to the shortage OF
telegraphic matter.
Arrangements are being perfected
to receive telesraphic service from
the Associated Press, the greatest
news-gathering agency in the world.
This organization does not admit to
membership every irresponsible per-
son who may be able to start news
paper, but applications are subject
to a rigid investigation, and an am
pie bond has to be made by the appli-
cant to insure his good faith. All
these things require time. We have
been notified by Mr.. Melville E.
Stone, the General Manager, of the
receipt Of our bond. and everything
is satisfactory, but it was also neces-
sary to elect the editor to member
ship, and the directory being scatter
ed, this could not be done as quickly
- we anticipated, otherwise we
would have set the machinery in op-
Grafton earlier. We have assurance
that all possible expedition is being
used, and we feel that we can pro-
mise increased telegraphic service in
a few days. OF course, this does not
mean that we will have a leased wire
and get the full service the Associat-
ed Press sends out to large cities.
Only two newspapers in Florida have
this service, and one of these has had
it but very short time But vel
ran promise our readers that We can
furnish them in condensed form the
important happenings OF the world |
md that no paper in the country |
will be able to publish a matter of
real importance earlier than this

ful accident Tuesday. Thornell was

switch. When he went TO catch the
engine again. by some unknown
means something came in contact
with the ball of the right foot. caus-
ing the large toe to be pulled entire

there being no marks on his shoe.
There being no witnesses il is i'm
possible up TO this time to give a
correct report of the accident, and
Mr. Thornell claims he does not
know himself just how the accident
happened. When he got back on
the foot board of the engine he
waved the engineer ahead and al
most simultaneously he waved him
down. As soon as Engineer ]. T..
johnson discovered that Thornell
was hurt he picked him up and sum-
moned DIR. Nudge at once. His
wounds were temporarily dressed at
DIR. Mudge's offie but later he was
carried to the Gordon Keller Me-
mortal Hospital. He underwent an
operation this afternoon, the result
being that his large toe had to be

SWALLOWING LAND.

Capacity to swallow varies. Most
of us have heard of a man who after
a visit to his doctor, told his CON-
panion that he had discovered his
saw mill down his throat, adding
that he was going to get another,
but the doctor had advised him this
time to run it by water. Many a
fine estate has gone down a man S
throat in drink. and it is about time
the working people took some notice
of the value of what they are swal-
lowing.
In these days the chief desire OF
most men is to get a little plot OF
ground for themselves on which to
build a house which they can call
their own.
Why not get this plot of ground?
If you ouly drink a glass of beer or
hottie of Cocoa-Cola day. you
swallow enough land in year to
build your house on and give you a
respectable sized garden; you swal-
low 36J square yards OF land--a
good sized field for every time you
drink five cents worth of beer or
spirits You swallow yard of good
land.
You think this nonsense? Well.
listen for Il moment. Take the value
Of an acre of land say at $500. as
II is in many of the Northern States.
In $500 there are 1000 times five
cents. so if a drink costs five cents
you may put it down that in $500
there are 1000 drinks. Now, in an
acre Of land there are 4,S4O square
yards; more than yard drink.
Down here in Florida land, except
in certain localities. has not gone
into the $500 class, but the time is
coming when most land in Florida
will cost in three figures. Land in
this vicinity is still reasonable in
price, but with the influx of North
ern people from now on il is going
To create higher values The man
who comes now is going to get the
increase. The price of few cases
of C0cO-COla or a few boxes OF cigars
will now buy enough land for a /
garden and a site for a house. Pop
ulation of the kind coming here will
soon give large value to land.

We expect to find that ncA, season
the grand total of the corn crop in
Polk county will be very greatly in
creased by the efforts of the boys and
girls in the corn growing contest
held under the auspices of the Lake
land Farmers club. Through the
activity of County Judge w. 5. Pres
ton. substantial money prizes have
been offered for the best crops raised
by boy or girl on a single acre of
irrigated land. and similar prizes
are also offered for crops grown on
unirrisated lands. Thus everyone
has a fair showing. and it is certain
that the results will prove that this
section of Florida can produce corn
TO an extent that will astonish even
the old residents. The agricultural
possibilities of this county have
scarcely been scratched on the sur-
face. and such incentive to syste-
matte and scientific production as
this contest offers will reveal hith-
erso unexpected wealth in Florida
soil.
