FOR SUNDAY
OBSERVANCE
Merchants to Close Stores
on the Sabbath
Many Have Agreed Not to
Sell Merchandise on Sun
days Hereafter.

During the past week pastors
representing the Congregational,
Norwegian Lutheran, Methodist
and Swedish Lutheran churches
visited the different stores of the
city in an effort to have the
proprietors of the different mer-
camille establishments close their
places on the Sabbath and ac-
cording to the pastors the results
were very encouraging. Cards
were distributed by the pastors
and these are now being dis
played in the store windows.
The following are the names of
local merchants who have agreed
to close their places on Sunday
and have placed the card "This
Store is Closed on Sunday" in
their windows:
Groceries
Ostin Anderson, D. w. Corn
ing, Albert Holgren, Larson
Bros, D. Leblanc, Chas. P. Ly-
sager, Geo. Posey.
Meat Markets
Cordts' Market, Frank Tetz-
ner, S. E. Swanson.
Hardware
B. Ungrodt, E. Bergman.
Feed Store
J. S. Fletcher.
Dry Goods, Clothing, Millinery,

A. Shoresman, Palace Clothing
Store, Warder & Holman, Downs
Store, P. J. Jacobson, A. l. Lien,
Mrs. Greenfield, A. Paulson.
Furniture
d. j. Estabrook, Amos Hansen.
Most of the above merchants
have been keeping their places of
business closed on Sunday.
Others were glad to fall in line.
Customers ought to be consider
ate and do their trading during
the week days as seven days a
week is too much for any man to
work and keep it up.

Hunters Preparing for Open
ing of Season.
Deer Said to be Plentiful in
North Wisconsin Woods
This Fall.

Deer hunting season in Wis
consin will open on the 18th OF
November and many of the
sportsmen of this region are
now getting ready for the open
ing of the season.
Since last year the law in re-
gard to deer has been changed
and this season it will be nec-
essary for the hunter to know
just what he is shooting at to
comply with the provisions of
the law which provides that
only one buck deer may be killed
by a hunter. 1t will therefore
be necessary for the hunter to
see the antlers of the deer before
he fires.
Sportsmen, who have been in
the woods during the past few
weeks, report that deer al more
plentiful this season than they
have been for a number of years.
Hunters figure that a large num-
Der of deer will be killed and
left in the woods this season by
hunters who fail to see just
what they are shooting and find
afterwards that they have killed
a doesdeer. However the true
sportsman will try and observe
the law and a plea along these
lines is being made by the State
Conservation Commission.

URGES THANKS
FOR PEACE
President Wils0n Names
Nov. Is as Holiday
Emphasizes, However, "Spe-
cial Blessing" for
United States.

washington, ~. y. OcC. Ill
President Wilson, naming Thurs
day. Nov. Is, as the date, on
Thursday issued the following
Thanksgiving proclamation:
"It has long been the honored
custom of our people to turn the
fruitful autumn of the year in
praise and thanksgiving to AL
mighty God for his many
blessings and mercies to us as a
nation. The year that is now
drawing to close since we last
observed our day of national
thanksgiving has been, while a
year Of discipline because of the
mighty forces of war and of
charges laid have disturbed the
world, also a year of special
blessing for us.
Another year of peace has
been vouchsafed us; another
year in which not only to take
thought Of our duty to ourselves
and to mankind, but also to ad-
just ourselves to the many re-
sponsibilities thrust upon us by
a war which has involved al
most the whole of Europe.
"We have been able to assert
our rights and the rights of man.
kind without breach Of friend
ship with the great nations with
whom we have had to deal, and
vile W. have asserted rights,
we have been able also to per-
form duties and exercise privi-
leges of succor and helpfulness
which should serve to demon
strate our desire to make the
offices of friendship the means
of truly disinterested and un-
selfish service.
Our ability to serve all who
could avail themselves of our
services in the midst of crises
has been increased, by gracious
Providence, by more and abund-
ant crops; our ample financial
resources have enabled us to
study the markets of the world
and facilitate necessary move
ments of commerce which the
war might have otherwise rem
dered impossible, and our people
have come more and more to a
sober realization of the part they
have been called upon to play in
a time when all the world is
shaken by unparalleled distress
es and disasters.
The extraordinary circum-
stances of such time have done
much to quicken our national
consciousness and deepen and
confirm our confidence in the |
of peace and freedom
by which we have always sought |
to be guided. Out of darkness
and perplexity have come frmer
counsels of politics and clearer
perception of the essential well
fare of the nation.
1--WE have prospered while
other peoples were at war, but
our prosperity has been vouch-l
safed us, we believe, only that
we might the better perform the
functions which war rendered it
impossible for them to perform.
Nov therefore, I, Woodrow
Wilson, president Of the United
States of America, do hereby
designate Thursday, the twenty
fifth of November next, as a day
Of thanksgiving and prayer, and
invite the people throughout the
land to cease from their wonted
occupations and in their several
homes and places of worship
render thanks to Almighty God.
In witness whereof | have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to
be fixed.

A Quick Job

What is perhaps one of the
fastest jobs of floor laying that
has ever been done in the city
was accomplished last Thursday
evening in the Pauer building,
now occupied by G.. A. Herring S
confectionery store and cigar
factory. On account of repairs
being made to the Northern
Hotel corner Mr.. Herring desired
to move in a hurry, so he on
gagged a crew of carpenters to
lay new hardwood floor in the
new location before he moved
into the place. For the work
of laying the floor the following
were engaged: Tom Daily, L..
B. French, J. E. Johnson,
Charles Latt, Martin Larson,
and And. Rosenlund. The crew
appeared ready for work at
seven o'clock in the evening but
no material was there with which
to begin work, the car in which
the flooring was shipped having
arrived the same evening. At
$40 o'clock the flooring arrived
at the building and the carpen-
ters began the work. In three
hours and twenty minutes the
100 feet of foring was laid and
the job was good one. Mr..
Herring Immediately had the
floor oiled and the crew began
the work of moving Mr.. Herlng's s
outfit from the old building to
the new location. BY three o.
clock in the morning Mr.. Her.
ing was located in his new store.

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1915-03-03

Senator Fletcher is entirely right
in his protest against the coarse and
reckless abuse and criticism of pub
lie men by more than a few of the
newspapers. Some of these fellows
seem to think that the moment a
man takes Office he becomes a legiti-
mate target for any press scribbler
to throw dirt and stones at, and it
is shameful to the point of indie
cencs to see how honorable men
working faithfully under the heavy
responsibility of public service are
assailed by aspersion, ridicule and
driveling wit and satire as though
they had ceased to be gentlemen
when elected or appointed to office
and were almost disreputable char.
scters. There ought to be some
strong corrective medicine for those
Who thus prostitute their calling
and are, shrewd enough to stop Just
short of the Limitation of the libel
law in their abuse.

Mexico City, March 3.-Suburb-
antics, who number nearly a quarter
million of people, are seeking lodg-
ment in the city with the result that
provisions are still more scarce and
high priced than they have been.
During the fighting in the suburbs
between the forces of Zapata and
the Carranza men, the modern sys-
TEN of electric car lines which link
the capital to its six principal SUI
burban towns has literally been shot
to pieces. The suburbanites are
thus cut off from their business in
the city, and are also in danger if
they remain at home. The fighting
has been of the most indefinite
character with the contending
forces occupying and reoccupying
villages at intervals sometimes as
shortly separated as-the rising and
the Setting of one sun.
The difficulty the soldiers have in
distinguishing friend from foe is i'll
Illustrated by a recent incident in the
suburb of Coyoacan. A party of
Carranza men who had dismounted
in the main plaza encountered some
loungers who were not recognized
as Zapatistas. A friendly converse
tion was commenced and continued
until some one suspected the iden-
tity of the loungers and challenged
them. The answer rang back viva
zapata!" With that rifles were
brought into play and the plaza was
strewn with dead from both sides. |
Reinforcements arriving for the Car
rama men, the zapa;istas were fin :
ally driven to the woods.

The esteemed Ocala Star will
please understand that the Telegram
is not criticising Pleasant Holt be :
cause he will probably manage the
next campaign for the "wets" in this
State. There is no bigotry or intol =
erance in this paper, and we know
some very excellent men who don't
believe in Statewide prohibition;
also some pretty sorry specimens
who do. The prohibition issue will
be tried on its merits, regardless of
who manages the campaign, and
win or lose according to the loca-
ton of the heaviest battalions.
Pleasant Holt is an honored and
highly respected citizen Of Jackson :
Vile, and our moral and mental hor-
lion is not so limited that We con =
sign him to damnation, either tenn
poral or eternal, because he may diff
fer with us on prohibition or any

SPREADING THE FACTS
OF GROWING FLORIDA

From an interestinf Florida letter
written by Hon. E. w. Barber. of
Jackson, Mich. to his home paper,
the Daily Patriot, one of the promi-
nent journals of that State, we take
the following, not because it is news
to our readers, but because it shows
how the big, strong facts of Florida,
especially this section, are finding
circulation at the North through
high class mediums. Mr.. BARRIERS
editorial correspondence from Crook
ed Lake, in this county, which he
sends to his paper every week DUR
ing the winter months, is full of
well presented facts about our State
and the following is from his letter
published in the Patriot of last Sun :
day:
Municipal improvements attest
the new awakening. The new spirit
is especially observable in the
growth of the public school system
and improvements of the roads. Au-
tomobiles are everywhere. Among
the growing sections Polk county is
prominent. 1t has hundreds of beau
tiful lakes and busy business cen
tiers. 1t has a large acreage admira-
bly, adapted to truck farming, and
along this backbone ridge, with its
numerous lakes. the best soil and
climate for oranges and grapefruit
in America.
"The soil is mostly sandy, but sup
ports very luXuriant vegetation. .
The surface soil, depending on the
character Of the underlying clay and
rock, is rich in phosphates; and
these elements, together with de-
composed vegetable matter, make a
very productive soil, to which the
rain and sunshine add potent up
lift. In the northern and middle
portions of the State, oak, pine and
hickory are the leading forest
growths; while the long leaf pine.
the pitch pine and cypress cover the
southern counties.
FLORIDA exhibits the vegetable
productions of both the temperate
and semi tropical zones. The pro :
ducts Of the northern counties in
clude peaches, pears, cotton, pota
toes and tobacco; while the south
ern counties present the finest or
anges, grapefruit, lines, pineapples,
mangoes, cocoa palms. Strawberries,
early vegetables that are planted in
the winter months, and almost all
tropical fruits. AS a cattle region
1t is attracting wide attention. In
deed, the State is Just beginning to
be appreciated.

President Wilson may not be the
success in calculating bully
"liar!" and other great thoughts in
tabloid form that Teddy was, but we
like him better for such expressions
as this:
What America has indicated
above all things else is that native
ability has nothing to do with social
origin. 1t is amusing sometimes to
see the airs that high society gives
itself. The world could dispense
with high society and never miss it.
High society Is for those who have
stopped working and no longer have
anything important to do
