VENTILAT0RS NEEDED IN
WOODEN SCHOOL BUILDING

To the fathers and mothers who
are patronizing the Lakeland hi III
school. especially those who have
children in the row of wooden HuH-
ings. and all others who are humane
enough to wish the children in these
seven rooms to study in some decree
of comfort, | wish to make few re-
marks. These rooms, being low and
unceiled, become on warm days al
most unbcarably warm One teach
or informed me that the desks on
the west side of the room became
hot to the touch. How can we cX-
pect our children, or their teachers
either, to do good work under such
conditions? One way to relieve the
situation to some extent, is to place
yentilators in each room. The school
hoard has no funds with which to
do this work; so with the assistance
of the ever-liberal people Of Lake
land ard the kindness of the firm OF
Cardwell & Feigley, who propose to
donate their profit, we think some
thing can be added to the comfort
Of these rooms by placing a ventilat-
or in each room. A subscription
list will be circulated and all who
wish TO contribute, who do not have
the list presented to them, may
leave thcir contributions at the Tcle-
gram Office. Please, friends, do not
treat this matter lightly, thinking

BANKER FLOOD STRIKES IT
RICH AT FR0STPR00F

Frostproof, Sept. is LARGE lanh
sales are being made that means
many new groves in the near fu-
turr and our splendid lake country
is destined to become almost sOlidly
filled with groves and homes.
Among the few far-sceing ones of
earlier years the wel-known pame
" Y O. EloAI is found in connec-
tiou with much of the choice land,
which was selected for him at the
rieht time with experienced care by
his Frostproof friends, the Carson
Brothers.
AS a leading banker of Lakeland,
the gateway to South Florida (up to
! thd time the new gateway was OPP
cned to this region via llaines Clty)
Mr.. Flood was in excellent position
to meet good prospectors, and In
due course he found and brought
and showed another banker this
wonderful lake country. A deal re-
suited on some adjoining acreage of
other owners which was quickly re-
.old in small lots and Is being rap
idly set to groves. This live work
er and his hustling associates soon
nccded more and naturally enough
sou"ht Mr.. Flood for his select
,odics of fruit land near by. A
thousand acres more or less was
aus dropped to them recently from
his handsome holdings and will soon
rc elbdividcd and set to groves in
the hands of small holders here and
there. Meantime another of his
hoice holdings was turned to syn
,licate of strong GEORGIA citizens
Which will be turned to grove uses,
ana other tracts in which he Is in
tcrested are being considered; this
very best of all being before some OF
California's frosted fruit growers
who are contemplating a change to
sunny Florida.
Other portions are also command
ing public attention North and South
notably the beautiful frontage
tracts on Crooked Lake. Lake Easy
and Blue lake, drawing settlers Of
class that counts for success.
The Crooked Lake club house af-
fords attractive vacation pleasures to
the members and their friends, and

The big mill and factory at the

fancy fruit features included with

cilities new pleasures will be added
TO the outdoor life and variety to
the bill of fare, SO that the happy
members may not only dwell under
their own orange and grapefruit

way.
The bigg mill and factory at the

In the same instant one OF the men

The Judge laughed derisively as hs
bowed himself out.
He established himself In his Of

quilted the once. Mr. Saul, bending
above his desk, was making an entry
in one Of his ledgers. The Judge shut

mo; he came into the county about
ten years ago. and bought a place
called The Oaks"
Has he--a family" The Judge ap-
peared TO be having difficulty with
his speech.
Not that anybody knows or Some
say he's a widower, others again say
he's an old bachelor but he don't
say nothing The colonel's got his
friends, to be sure, but he don't mix
much with the real quality. One OF
his particular intimates is a gentle
man by the name of Murrell."
The Judge nodded.
I've met him." he said briefly.
Acting on a sudden impulse, the
Judge muttered something about re-
turning later, and hastily quilted the
Office.
In the hall the judges steps dragged
and his head was bowed. He was
busy with his memories. Then pas
sion shook him.
Damn him-may God-for ever
damn him." he cried under his
breath, in a fierce whisper.
They finished supper, the dishes
were cleared away and the candles
lighted, when the Judge produced a
mysterious leather-covered case. This
he opened, and Mahaffy and Hannibal
saw that it held a handsome pair OF
dueling pistols.
