Notes of the Occasion.

Mr.. A. {. Shaffer, chairman Of the
publicity committee, had printed
some very attractive badges, which
were pinned on the visitors These
were Of white ribbon on which we're
printed an orange. In colors. and
"Guest of Lakeland, Fla" also on
the lower edge. Mr.. Shaffer was un.
firing in his efforts and deserves
much credit for the success Of tho
affair.
Over 400 cups of delicious coffee
were served the guests through the
courtesy of Mrs. George Wright. who
not only donated the beverage, but
had the demonstrator Of White
House coffee, which brand was
served, to come to Lakeland and pre-
side over the coffee urn. the result
being that the coffee was par excel
lence. and was greatly enjoyed BY
the large number served.
The Evening Telegram was placed
in the hands of every visitor, and,
as 1t contained Information about
the city, its development and prog
ress, prepared for their perusal. they
were enabled to get an insight into
the real progress Lakeland is max
ing and thereby gained better idea
Of what . fine town they we're In.
We believe Lakeland went "one
better" than any other town on the

MORE RECOMnENDA.
T|OMs MADE BY GOV.
Several Important Matters on Which
His Excellency Advises Legisla.
ton Be Enacted.

Tallahassee, Fla, March z1.-rOr
the information of members of the
Legislature and OF the public, Gov
el nor Park Trammell today gave out
the following recommendations
which he will submit in his message
to the Legislature which will meet
here April S:
Care Of 0lustee Monument.
"A monument has been erected on
the Olustee battle field as a fitting
ute to the brave Southerners who
so nobly repelled the invasion Of the
State during the civil war. 1t is
proper that it should be cared for
and the grounds Immediately around
il beautified and given care ana at
tcntion. | therefore recommend that
. reasonable appropriatiOn-nOt to
exceed $500 per annum-be made by
the Legislature for this purpose, the
money to be paid upon vouchers ap-
proved by the governor and endorsed
as correct by the president of the
Florida Division of the United
Daughters fthe Confederacy."
Live Stock Insurance.
"The present laws governing the
conditions upon which insurance
may be authorized to en-
ter the State for transacting business
require Investments in approved Sc
curiticcs amounting to $250,000 for
fire insurance and casualty COM
panies; $780, 900 for life insurance
companies, and 100000 for live
stock insurance companies. AS a re-
suit of the high requirement in the
case Of companies incuring only live
stock, practically every company In
the United States writing this class
.; risks are barred from the State.
There is not at present, nor has
there been for some time past, sin
gle live stock insurance company
to do business In this
State. Our stock owners are thus
from having any oppor-
unity to insure their live stock If
they SO desire. There are q number
of reputable live stock insurance
companies which are at present ad-
mitted to practically every other
Southern State except Florida. which
would probably enter this State but
for the prohibitive requirement in
tie law now in force. Since the
amount Of the risks written by such
are considerably smaller
than life insurance or fire insurance.
would recommend that the law be
amended SO as to permit these COM
panies to enter; and I believe that
a $4,000 investment requirement
for companies writing only live
stock insurance would be ample. and
would be then a greater proportion
ate protection than the law now al
lords with reference to IRE and lie
insurance companies.
No License Tax on Farm Products.
Florida is vitality concerned IN
extending its grove and agricultural
interests. We want to encourage our
farmers and producers. In this De-
half, 1 recommend the enactment OF
. law exempting absolutely from
,ity, county or State license tax all
'arm and grove products or the pro-
iucts manufactured therefrom, when
,eing handled By and disposed OF by
he original producers thereof"

A Word to JOkers.

While we understand that most
of the practical jokes which find
their way to the newspapers are
not intended to do harm to any
one, nor to cause needless worry
nor fright, the question is seri-
Gus one. Few persons stop to
think that almost every paper il
read by thousands of persons, and
that mis-statements of any kind
or character do the persons men
toned the injustice of having thou
sands of persons, unacquainted with
them, read and believe such re-
ports to be true.
1t is seldom, indeed, that persons
will so far forget themselves as to
wilfully ask newspaper to pub
lish that which is untrue, especially
when such action is for the purpose
of belittling another, but the law
recognizing the great harm that
may be thus done, has made it an
imprisonable offense to intention-
ally furnish information of mis-
leading character AS stated above,
what may seem an innocent joke
to the perpetrators often causes
much anxiety and misery to others.

MARGARET ANGL|N TO
APPEAR IN "ELECTRA''
Star Will Play Ancient
Tragedy in the Greek
Theater

Tho most interesting and by all
means the most important event Of the
forthcoming regular theatrical season
will be the appearance OF Margaret
Anglin and company Of notable art
lists in a special performance of the
Electra" of Sophocles. which is an
nounced to take place at the Greek
theater of the University OF California
at Berkeley on Saturday night. Sep
tember 6.
The event will mark the second ap-
pearance OF Miss Anglin in one of the
tragedies of the Greek masters. Three
years ago Miss Anglin presented AN
tigone" at the Greek theater, which
proved to be an event OF remarkable
theatrical and scholastic interest. Her
performance attracted not only the
highest local critical approval, but the
event was .heralded throughout the
country as one Of the really big the
atrical performances of the time.

tions for the historic event have taken

that gesture, 'footwork.' manner of
the mystery of crossing the stage can
be impaired to any student whose tend
ency to the actorial life is not entirely
arising from vanity"
TT was only eight years ago when
Miss Nordstrom laid aside the roles
of forlorn Cho Cho San in Puccinis
Madame Butterfly" and the hysterical
shrieks of Tosca in Puccini's La
Tosca" to go on the dramatic stage.
She studied voice production with
Oscar Sanger of New York, who was
authority for the statement that she
would become in time one Of the coun-
try's greatest dramatic sopranos. Par
sons Price was another pedagogue on
voice production that predicted great
things for Miss Nordstrom; but she
abandoned her operate career on ac-
count of Mr.. Dixey, who showed her a
quicker way to success, and one which,
she says, is more congenial to her
temper.
There are few artists" she ex-
planned, who prove that an opera
singer may also be an actress. Mary
Garden is one, Geraldine Farrar is an
other. but for the most part acting in
opera is perfupctory and conventional.
and it can never, think, become as
spontaneous a means of expression as
acting on the dramatic stage. Always
the opera singer must remember her
phrasing. Her breath control must
never become secondary. for otherwise
the melody or the phrase Of the COM
poser would be broken in two or its
musical value lost in the wavering OF
insufficient breath. AS wanted to
become an actress I gladly accepted
the role OF the sister. Nancy, in The
Man on the Box. That was eight years
