CHARITY FUND FOR MRS. SCALLY

Tho Telegram charity fund has
been added to quite generously since
our last appeal for Mrs. Scally, the
little sick lady, whom we are glad
to report is improving; $40 has been
added to the fund, and $40 of this
amount was donated by the guests
of the Dad Hines hotel-manv of
them are strangers but interested in
humanity and the case of the lit
tie woman who has borne up so
brayely until stricken down by i'll
ness,
In our last report there was 80
cents we could not account for and
asked to be informed who donated
it. Our request was kindly answered
by Mrs. G.. w Watson who states
that her little daughter Mary donat-
ed 81 instead of so cents with which
we credited her. Yesterday after
noon some person either donated 81
or two persons 81 each-we failed
to get down the name. We have en-
tered the donation as from Friend
and will appreciate it if the right
party or parties will let us know
whom to give the credit. We regret
these seeming acts of negligence on
our part, but we are doing this
work because there isn't any gen.
eral charitable organization in town,
and with our other multitudinous
duties it sometimes happens that we
fail to get down the name of the
person donating.
The following are the donations

HOME RULE BEFORE
HOUSE OF LORDS

London, May ALI the people
of the British Isles are eagerly
awaiting the day on which the Home
Rule for ireland bill will reach the
House of Lords, which is expected to
be early this month. The bill has
passed its most crucial stage in three
successive sessions, as required by
the Parliament act, and ought to be
on the statute book by June. The
time of the closing debate on the
measure was distinctly conciliatory,
but it cannot be said that any great
progress was made toward a settle
ment. The suggested way to peace
bv Federalism received scanty sup
port, and all the other various plans
for conciliation were again can
vassed, yet no bargain was struck.
II would seem that the government
has made its last offer and that the
Unionists must either accept or re-
fuse it before the third reading of
the bill unless they are reconciled to
seeing the bill become law in its
present shape.

HE IS A CANDIDATE

The Evening Telegram is in re-

Lakeland, Fla, April 30th, 1914,
Editor Evening Telegram,
notice in this afternoon Paper
that you state that the candidates
enumerated in your paper, is all that
have announced
| see no good reason why you
should go out of your way to do me
this injustice. You certainly know
that | was the second man in Polk
county to announce as candidate
for the Legislature, for you see it in
the Barlow papers every week, and
besides ] told you so myself, if you
had said these were all that had
announced in the Lakeland paper,
you would have done me no injus-
tice, but you know it was not cor
rect when you make the statement
that that was all who had an
nounced, | am calling your attention
to this that you may understand
that if do not agree with the Tele-
gram, that should not constitute a
just cause for the Telegram to do me
all the harm it can without cause,
at the proper time | shall commence
an active campaign to win, and
whittier I win or loose | will be on
the field at the finish, | was the first
man in Polk County who ever quail
flied to run for any office under the

comparison with others. See for
yourself whore you excel or fail and
then try to improve on what you
raised this year. Come and take
away our money and ribbons for your
exhibits and at the same time, place
yourself in position to supply your
less fortunate neighbors with better
stock than they are raising. But
above all things, bear in mind that
NOW is the time to prepare for the
big show.
The ladies also are prepared to
look after their interests and every
lady and girl in the county is ex-
pected to show what can be done
in household economics, fancy work,
etc. The premium list in this de-
partment is also quite extensive and
we'll worth while going after.
Preparations in all departments
are going forward rapidly and we
are prepared to announce weekly
what progress each department Is
making and what every exhibitor
should make an endeavor to find sue
cess in.
The committee will be pleased to
answer all questions pertaining to
the fair and any communications ad-
dressed to the secretary, Mr.. Edwin
R. Schurman, will be cheerfully an
swered.
And now, Polk county residents,
let's get together and make this fair
q rousing success. Let's show the
balance of the State that we are far
ahead of them in everything possi-
Bile to grow and raise and thereby
boom our county to such an extent
that within few years there will
not be an acre of ground left that is
not in cultivation.

graduation class.
The first milestone, the speaker
said, had been passed; would they
continue and reach the goal Of high
school ambition, or would they tire
and drop by the way to forget and
be forgotten. Many, he said, had
launched their little craft eight
years ago-and where are they now?
Sad, but true. that some had even en-
tered the present class only to de-
spair when the goal was SO near. A
very apt illustration, with direct
application, was given of the turtle
who never despai red but persisted al
ways.
The principal, after presenting the
class diplomas, thanked the audience
for their splendid attention and good
behavior, and the grammar school
exercises had come to close.

PLAN FOR BIGGER
AND BETTER FAIR
FOR NEXT YEAR

During the past winter under the
auspices OF the Farmers Club Of
Lakeland, there was held a mid-win-
ter fair and farmers institute and
the success of the venture was so
great that at the request of growers
generally, it was decided to hold an
other fair during the coming win
ter. The fair held the past winter
was purely local show and as many
growers from different parts of the
county showed their willingness to
cooperate with the local body, it was
decided to make the next fair a gem
eral county institution, thereby Civ
ing growers from all parts a chance
to show their prowess and ability to
grow and produce citrus fruit, veg
etables, hogs, cattle, sheep, goats.
poultry, etc. of better quality and
finer grade than any produced else
where.
In order therefor to stimulate gen
eral interest the Farmers Club of
Lakeland, as usual proceeded to get
busy at once, and by appointing
managers for each department, with
a good executive board for general

announce that the coming fair
should and will eclipse anything of
its kind held in Southern Florida.
BY way of explanation, would say
that each department manager is an
expert in his or her line and each
manager will Of course have the best
it is possible to procure for his de-
partment, and to make it worth
while for every grower to show what
he or she can do, a very liberal prem
ium list has been made up, the total
amount of which will run consider
ably over $4,000, besides which there
will be many special premiums Civ
en- by individuals and firms.
OF course, vegetables and citrus
fruits can and will be grown at about
the time for exhibition, which will
be during the last week in February,
but it is necessary now to get ready
for the big show with such things as ,
hogs, horses, cattle and poultry.
These should have special attention
from now on and grown to their best
The younger generation
should be encouraged to get busy
with poultry and where a likely bird
is discovered, it should be given
special attention and care. Get out
your broods of chickens, ducks. etc,
and watch them closely and when
the time comes, have them ready for
exhibition.
You men that are raising blooded
hogs, cattle and horses look after
your stock and show that as good or
better stock can be grown in Polk
county as anywhere in the State.
The time has come when it is neces-
sary that Florida must and should |
get away from the northern can,
and northern smoked and salted |
meats and to do this we should en-
deayor to make use of our own re-
sources by raising such meats as are
needed by our own people. And af-
ter you have raised such meats, don't |
hide your light under a bushel, but |

yours very truly.
JEREMIAH. B. SMITH

If Mr.. Smith had exercised that
extraordinary acumen for which he
is so Justly famed, he would have OBJ
served that the item of which he
complains says nothing about him
not having announced as a Candi-
date. The article enumerated those
candidates whose announcements
were found in the Lakeland papers,
and distinctly added that these were
all who had announced HERE. 1t
did not state, directly or by infer
ence, that there might not have been
other candidates who had announced
at Barlow, or other points; it simply
stated the fact that the list given
embraced all the candidates who had
announced HERE. Hence, in this
instance, as always, the Evening
Telegram maintains it's invariable
habit of absolutely accurate state
ment, and we fail to see where Mr..
Smith has grievance.
Mr.. Smith intimates that he does
not agree with the Evening Tele-
gram. We are sorry and surprised to
learn this. The Evening Telegram
stands for the most approved princi-
pies of Progressive Democracy; for
the highest ideals of citizenship; for
good morals and good government;
for the best interests of this county
and this community; and, generally,
for every righteous cause, and for
the things that are just and honor
able and of good report. 1t always
shocks and grieyes us, therefore, to
have anyone proclaim that they do
not agree with US.
We are sorry if Mr.. Smith does
not feel kindly towards us. We could
cite good and substantial reasons
why he should regard us in quite
friendly way.
