cd and we now have on our shelves
nearly 400 choice books. The chair
man very kindly offered the use of
her studio for the library until more
permanent rooms could be secured.
The house committee has rendered
good services. In the first of the
gear 1919, rooms were secured in our
new Auditorium building. A por.
tion of these being sublet to the
Board of Trade for an amount suf-
ficient to cover the entire charge to
the club. These rooms were occu-
pied until the close of the club year.
The Benevolent Protective Order
Of Elks kindly offered our club the
use of their rooms without cost, and
it is here that we are holding our
meetings. The committee are devCt-
ing themselves towards securing
permanent home for the club and
there is reason to believe that we
may, before great while own our
own club house.
Combined efforts of the entire
club resulted in the following:
Library fund, sos. Sc. eleven
Christmas baskets furnished to poor
families. Thirtyfve poor children
made happy with wellflled Christ

years work is ANTICIPATED.

ly to the women of clubs as the pub
lie schools. The health department
has been on the alert during the
summer months, realizing how much
"an ounce of prevention" meant to
the health of our community. To
cether with the city board of health
the urrcnt request was made to keep
all earbacc cans covered and fur
thermore enforce the use of covered
cans. Cards have been procured
from the state board of health re-
garding the dancer Of flies, also the
DANCER of cypectoratin? in public
places. Such cards were placed in
windows and on street CROSSINGS, and
in other conspicuous places. An in
struetivc fly film was procured from
the picture show, giving an insight
into the capacity of these pests and
showing the fly at its deadly work.
Inspection trips were made to the
railroad station, ice plant and water
works. The water works were found
to be in a most excellent condition
and under splendid MANAGEMENT. We
feel safe in saying that Lakeland has
the best and purest water in South
Florida. The reservoir and pipes
are properly flushed and cleanscd
with a strong disinfoctant regularly,
therefore affording absolutely no hid
ing places for typhoid germs. Dur
ing an infection, In the summer, ef-
forts brought results In strict quar-
antinc laws, thus avoiding seriols
conditions. An examination OF
children before entering school was
also secured. A petition to the City
Council resulted in a sDccial permit
being Granted to ore of our citizens
to install drinking fountain for
man and beast.

THE LAKELAND HALL OF FAME
The Brothers Moore


"Still there's Moore to follow" I"
may be we'll said of the program of
the Elks' Ministries to be given at
the Auditorium the evening Of De-
cember 2.
Firstly, there is George Moore
only George and nothing more, be-
cause he has no middle name-who
is known throughout Alabama as
"the sweet singer Of llexander
City," and who will sing "When
Uncle Joe Plays Rag on His Old
Banjo" during the first part, and will
sing it with considerable neatness
and abandon, too.
George came here two years ago
from Ocala. Lots Of good peop.e
come out of Ocala ad the better they
are the quicker they come.
This will be his first appearance
in public. George admits. shyly
enough, that he has been much
sought after-but this will be tie
first time he has ever been seen in
captivity. Also. he is the only mcrl-
Der of the company who parts his
hair and his voice in the middle.
George can sing out Of both sides Of
his face at once. The right side sings
soprano and the left slce sings base,
simultaneously and tocethera truly
remarkable performance.
George sometimes lets his voice
out, but he has never been known
to collect rent for it and he doesn't
always get it back. Nevertheless his
performance at rehearsal has been
all that could be expected from a
semi-professional, and George is an
ticipating the receipt of many bou-
quets across the footlishts. These
are now being prepared by the local
market gardeners.
George is part proprietor Of the
Red Cross Pharmacy and can mix
more fancy drinks to the square inch
than any living human being.
AS to the other Moore
William Stephen Moore--better
known as "IIappy Bill"-is the pink
baby of the minstrel aggregation.
For the benefit of those who will
see him only in his black face make
up it may truthfully be said that it's
bloomin' shame that his coral pink
complexion must be hidden from the
gaze of the envious public. But like
Brother George, Happy" Moore Is
also an endman.
Happy" Moore was "born in Vir-
oinia" but thought better of 1t and
came to Lakeland last June as part
and parcel of the Wiliamson-Moore
neutrality-suspicious. in haberdash-
cry.
He is bashful but willing and as
an endman "tambo" bids fair to dis
tinouish himself.
Surely the Elks' mlnstrels will
have two good reasons for congratu-
lations-Moore and Moore.
