EDITORS MEET IN THIS
CITY TOMORROW

Newspaper men from probably
fifteen or twenty cities and towns in
South Florida will gather in Lake
land tomorrow for the purpose of or
ganizing the South Florida Press AS
ISOLATION. Preliminary work of
drafting a constitution and bylaws
has already been accomplished by a
committee appointed for the purpose
by number of editors who met in
Tampa some weeks ago. At that
time Jos. H. HUMPHREYS, Of Braden-
town, was made temporary president
and NJ. F. Hetherington secretary.
Tomorrow's meeting will adopt the
work of the committee, with such
amendments as may be suggested,
and will also elect permanent Of
ficers.
The South Florida Press Associa-
tion is a purely business organiza-
tion, which leaves the joy-rides and
junketings, fun and fireworks for
the gatherings of the State Press AS
ISOLATION, with which the new AS
ISOLATION is affiliated, the members
of one being also members of the
other. The new organization has
for its objects the solution of the
practical problems that confront
newspaper men, especially as regards
uniformity and cooperation in the
matter of subscription and advertis-
ing rates, and other methods of deal
! ing with the increased cost of is
suing papers and conducting a print
! ing business.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. C. o.
Pinch was the gracious hostess at a
lovely party given by her in honor
of Mrs. T. J. Fraley and Miss Kate
Mcleod, who leave soon on an ex-
tended summer trip.
The pretty home was attractively
decorated with roses and trailing
vines, and the ladies in their sum-
mer gowns made the scene one of I'M
usual loneliness.
Each guest was given paper and
pencil and requested to write the
honorees a letter, which We're to be
opened on the dates specified on the
envelope, thus giving them a letter
to read every day they are away
from their friends back at home
This was very much enjoyed by all
present, as it will be doubly enjoyed
by the recipients when they read
them.
Fruit punch was served during the
afternoon by Mrs. c. O. Wheeler an(
Mrs. Folks. Later delicious salaC
course, sandwiches and mints wer,

"Bccause-, just want to go be-

what time to como home. I'm glad he
didn't, because he would of scolded us

The reason they wanted TO go was-
II was two calves down there and they
wanted to see the nice, pretty calves.
