words Of reproach attached to them

The check is one Of the most con-
venient forms with which to pay debts
to people who live at long distance
from the local bank. BY the time a
weak lunged check has travelled across
the continent and has been found to
have nothing back Of it except

an enterprising debtor can collect in
enough money as financial secretary
Of three lodges to meet it with roll OF
compact currency and surprised and
panied look. For this reason wholesale
houses situated several hundred miles
from the local rating league greet
checks with which they are not on
speaking terms with the naughty and
disdainful stare Of the head waitress
during an Elks' convention.
Checks are furnished by banks in
small books which enable the customer
who owns an adding machine and q
good memory to tell at once just how
much he is overdrawn. The bank also
keeps track for him, and sometimes its

The Strawpile
Cos. Of siIo Filling.

No definite cost can be given for silo
filing. as it depends on many variable
factors, SUCH as the distance from field
to silo, weather conditions, it being
more expensive during wet weather
than clear weather; the efficiency OF
the machinery and of the men,. The
cost has been estimated as low as 40
cents and as high as 81 per ton.
Seventy five cents would be a fair
average. Agricultural Experiment

What TAMPA THOUGHT.
OF lAkELAND'S PART
IN THE PARADE

That Lakeland attracted more at
tention by her parade at the Gas
parilla Carnival than II 1t had been
pulled off without the series Of diff
ficulties that were encountered, is
the opinion Of the thousands who
viewed Lakeland's lineup, and last
nights Tampa Times corroborates
this in the following account Of this
city's participationin the parade:
Lakeland people had a parade all |
OF their own during the Gasparilla
festivities that won them great dis J.
tinction and, incidentally, more ad-
vertising than the most enthusiastic
booster from that city could have
hoped for.
"All this came about by a series
of adverse circumstances. Lakeland
started with two floats for this city,
/ one of which broke down the othe.
side of Six mile creek and stayed
there despite desperate efforts to
bring it on. The smaller float ar
rived all right and was thing o,
great beauty. Arriving in this city
the Lakeland people were in doubt
as to whether there would be a pa
rade because of the downfall OF rain
and received word that the program
would be carried out only after the
parade had started.
"Not to be outdone they decided
to catch the parade in line and went
for their shoat, which had been H..
stalled in a barn out of the wet d.
Here again they had trouble. for one
J of the wheels went into deep sand
and only the hardest kind of work
, got it out an hour later.
"By that time the parade had
passed up Franklin street. In front
of the Elks' club house they deter
mined to start out on their owl
: hook. The charming Lakeland
girls took their places on the float
