The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1915-05-22

There is a certain type of men
who because the newspapers poke a
little fun at him for lack of better
target for idle persiflage, thinks
himself prominent, and the first one
knows he has swelled out into can
didate for an office utterly beyond
his proportions. Changing the sub
ject, the Hon. William Mapoles is
mentioning himself as a candidate
for Congress in the Third district.
r -
The Atlantic Coast Line Is getting
some good boosts in the State papers
because of full page advertise
ment it recently carried in the Man
ufacturers' Record exploiting the ad-
vantages, crops, resources, ETC., of
Florida, we add our mite of COM
mendation to the compliments that
have been paid the Coast Line. and
trust it will keep up the work 1t
has seemed te us that this railroad
has heretofore pursued very short
sighted policy in this respect. 1t has
done very little advertising for Flor
ida or the section of the State it ira
verses. 1t would itself be the chief
beneficiary of such advertising, and
this paper is glad to see symptoms OF
an awakening on the part of the cor
poration. We trust it will stay
awake. Western railroads have
built up the country traversed by
them, through generous and persist
ent exploitation of the advantages
and inducements offered to settlers
and investors. Nearer home, the
Florida East Coast Railway has done
a great work for the eastern part OF
the State. The other railroads Of
the State have done comparativel!
little. We trust that a new policy
of publicity is about to be adopted
by them.

COUNTY CANNOT ASSIST
THE FARM AGENT

The Board OF County Commission
ers, in session last week. decided the
county cannot assist this year in the
payment of the salary of the farm
agent for this county. Under the
federal governments farm agent
plan. the government pays $500 a
yrp- toward MS salary and the coun-
ty that receives the benefit of his
work makes up the balance OF his
$1,000 a year salary. Last year the
difference was made up by the banks
of the county. The Commissioners
find that any such moneys expended
woud have 10 come from the road
and bridge fund and they gave it as
their opinion that the county will de-
rive more benefit from the expending
OF that fund in the usual way. Eacn
commissioner expressed himself as
in favor OF keeping thefarm agent
here. ana each offered a substantial
donation from his own pocket 10 as
sist in paying the salary.
