Hon. w. A. McRae, commission
er OF agriculture, has a strong arti-
Gle In yesterdays edition of the Tam
pa Tribune on the need of co-opera-
tion in production and marketing
among the farmers of Florida, and
if they would read it and inwardly
digest it and carry out it's sugges-
tions they would get more prosper
ity out of the soil than they are do
ing now Here are two suggestive
paragraphs from the article:
There are shipped into the State
of Florida each yea several million
dollars worth each. of corn, hay,
syrup. pork and bacon, and oats.
There are in the Safe, now, many
thousands of dollars worth of these
products and the farmers are unable
to sell them for anything like the
market price Co--operation would
settle this question for all time.
There are shipped into the State
each year many thousands of dollars
worth of rice and peas. These two
articles can be grown profitably in
Florida. Cooperation will cause our
farmers to make this and many other
needed changes in the products of
our soil -

PRICES OF TICKETS FOR
IAkELAND'S SIXTH
ANNUAL ChAU1AUQUA

TIE tickets for Lakeland's SlXth
Annual Chautauqua Assembly, winch
is to be held February 1920, 1910
inclusive, will be placed on sale the
first of January, 1916, and no TICK
cts fer this Chautauqua will be Oh
fered for sale by any one before that
time.
When this Chautauqua Assembly
was organized six years ago there
were but few more than three thou-
sand people in Lakeland. With the
present population of over seven
thousand, and the numbers OF visit
ors here during the months OF jan
uary and February, the Chautauqua
atten dance should be more than dou-
bled and therefore the prices OF THESE
tickets has been reduced and plans
made whereby every school pupil IN
the town can secure the advantage
of the splendid Chautauqua numbers
as well as freely receive the Junior
Chautauqua under the supervision OF
most competent director who has
directed play ground and Y. W. Z.
A. work for years.
In January, 1916, Chauauqua
tickets will be offered for sale by the
pupils of the Lakeland public
schools. Season admission tickets Tor
adults will be offered at S1.50, 81 or
s2.5n, while childrens tickets VIII
be 81 as they have always been.
The school pupil selling So worth
of season tickets will be given an
admission ticket When the school
pupils sell one thousand dollars
worth Of Chautauqua tickets, one
hundred dollars will be given to the
school for school use. Supt. Jones
said. II think we will get that one
hundred dollars and it will help
much toward equipment for the lab
oratory.
With these local educational adj
vantages to be derived, and the mag
nificent program to hc presented, ev-
cry true citizen of Lakeland who is
interested in her welfare should be-
come a booster for I.akeland's sixth
annual Chautauqua, Feb. 800, in
elusive, 1916, with tickets on sale

The Christmas edition of the Tam
pa Tribune yesterday was magnifi-
cent, and ono of It's conspicuously
strong features was the absence of
''fillius" to which so many papers
resort in getting out their big edi-
tions. II was all good stuff, with
some of the foremost men in the
State contributing special articles of
practical value, and, with every i'm
portant community of South and
Central Florida represented in the
edition with excellent write-ups. it
is Informative in unusual degree and
just the kind of reading that the
people in other States interested in
Florida will be mighty glad to get
hold of. AS an immigration docu-
ment copy of this issue of the Flor
ida Tribune can outtalk the best of
them in presenting the case of Flor
ida to the prospective settler.

at the closing of the day and though
our hearts grieve and mourn for its
sweet childish prattle and we miss
him in so many thousand little sweet
ways, yet we know that it is we'll

he is looking over the portals Of

mamma, grandparents, and all to
come to his beautiful home of love,
health, beauty and things that eye

heard. Who would take him away
now that he has passed away to so
much that we crave to enjoy? Bro.
Hancock performed the burial cere-
mony and gave such beautiful talk
on those that die in the Lord and
his talk was so uplifting, making us
glad that We have so kind and good
a Father and so great and loving a
Savior who said my sheep know my
voice. His little grave was a per-

chrysanthemums, ferns and jessa-

pure life which came to gladden. our

Full ACTING CHARACTER
LIE THE CHALICE
OF COURAGE"

Anything more sublime than the
scenery in the Rocky Mountains
would be difficult to conceive, and
this film of the pioneer West, THE
Chalice of Courage has a scenic
splenjor, the immense distances and
the pine centered hills in photogra-
phic ampliture.
The story opens with one girl, the
belle of the town, who soon becomes
the wife of Newbold, an easterner,
who comes when the other man
leaves after a love tiff with the girl.
He threatens to come back, and the
wife insists on leaving with her hus-
band, who goes on a prospecting
trip. AS they ride over the noun
tains, a part of the difficult trail
caves, and horse and woman are
thrown hundreds of feet down a
steep slope.
A young girl, some years later
comes from out the East and meets
the other man. They leave on fate
full camping party. One day she goes
on fishing trip and is caught in a
terrific thunderstorm and is being
swept away in a rapidly rising cur
rent when a recluse, none other than
the Newbold of the earlier part of
the story, rescues her and carries
her to his hut. Rain changes to
snow. and the girl is given up for
lost by her friends. All during the
long mountain winter, unable to es-
cape on account of the SHOWS, the
two are compelled to live in the cab
in until the warm breath of spring
opens up the mountain trails. Then
comes the rescue party with the 9TH
er man in the lead Newbold recog-
nizes him as the man who tried to
steal his wife, and fight ensues
that results in clearing the atmos-
phere.
