CARRANZA GAINING GROUND

Mexico City, Aug. 27.-Ameri-
cans residing here are daily receiv-
ing reports from various parts Of
Mexico which say that Carranza, the
new leader who seems to be rising
out of existing chaotic conditions,
is rapidly gaining ground, especial
ly since Huerta seems inclined to
as they regard it-dally with the
United States. The present govern
ment is making further efforts,
however, to smother the Carranza
uprising. 1t is argued by his
friends that Carranza is more hon
est than Huerta because he is a
comparatively poor man. Carranza
is of mixed Mexican blood, some Of
which is old Spanish and some ma
tive Aztec and this fact also adds to
his popularity.

Board Of Trade Contracts for 10000
Beautiful Booklets to Advertise
This Section

The secretary of the Board Of
Trade makes the following report
relative to the booklets to advertise
Lakeland and surrounding country:
The committee appointed by the
Board of Trade to solicit funds for
and to prepare a booklet, illustra-
tive and descriptive of Lakeland and
vicinity, to be used in answering the
requests for literature in response
to the boards advertising, met yes
terday and let the contract for a
handsome piece of work to be exc
cuted by the j. P. Bell Co., Of
Lynchburg, Va, and to be delivered

For two days, Mr.. w. R. Wright,
the representative of the J. P. Bell
Company, and the secretary, have
been hard at work on details and
the result as presented to the COM
mittee last night vas quite satis-
factory.
The contract calls for 10000
copies of a 32-page booklet in two
colors, with about so illustrations,
and a handsome cover showing a
24-inch birdseye view of Lakeland
on the outside and a map of the
State and Of the city and vicinity
on the inside of cover. The work
will cost close to $1,000, and will
be worth it.
In going over the mass of book
let's in the secretary's hands, Mr..
Wright was exceedingly surprised to
find that Lakeland was fortunate to
have a printing Office able to get out
such a high-class production as the
Lakeland News Souvenir Edition of
1911, and complimented the pub
Usher and the work generally and
in particular. For reasons of their
own, the Lakeland News Publishing
Co. did not wish to bid on this
work, but Mr.. Hetherington is as
sured that the Board and all con-
cerned will be greatly pleased with
it.
The committee report total of
little over $1,000 subscribed to-
wards the booklet, with a few par
ties to hear from.
