fine Progress
Being MADE ON
TAMPA ROAD

Plant City, April 29-According
to Commissioner James NJ. jackson,
who was in Plant City yesterday
morning, and in company with
Chairman d. R. Crum, made a trip
of inspection over several of the
more important roads in this dis
trict, the work of paving the Plant
City-Tampa brick road will start
from this end within a short time.
Up to the present, the contractors
have been unable to get sufficient
quantities of brick to carry on the
work in two places, but a large ship
ment is now due.
The pavement already laid extends
nearly to Mango and that point will
be reached this week. The curbing
has been placed for some distance
this side of Seffner. The old road
bed is being followed closely, the
only deviation yet made being at
Seffner where the old road was
slightly too close to the railway
tracks. Here the road will be moved
north five feet.
The commissioners, Mr.. Jackson
said. are demanding a high grade of
brick and workmanship in road con-
structioh and will insist on getting
it. They have profted by past ex-
perience in road construction and
the roads now being laid are the
best that can be expected for the
money expended.
Under the heavy traffic now i'm
posed upon it. the Valrico road ia
Tampa is wearing badly and repairs
are now needed in number OF
places and the commissioners will
see that this road has immediate at
tention.
Minor repairs have just been
completed on the Coronet brick
road and this stretch is now in ex-
cellent condition.

THREE PROGRESSIVE
LADIES JOIN THE
CHAMBER Of COMMERCE

Lakeland has what no other town
in the State can boast of, and that
is three lady members of its new
Chamber of Commerce. These pro-
gressive women are DR.. Sarah
Wheeler, one of the city's leading
physicians; Miss Minnie Reynolds,
owner Of one of our up-to-date dry
goods and millinery establishments,
and Mrs. 2. p. Emmerson, who is a
large property owner and a noted
suffragist, her daughter, Miss Zelie
Emmerson. being q national figure
in suffrage circles.
When these ladies are sufficiently
interested in the welfare and prog
ress of Lakeland to put their money
into the Chamber Of Commerce to
help build city that will make all
; of the rest of the State sit up and
take notice, we believe evry cit
izen in town will follow their lead
and sign up. Tampa has only one
lady member of its Chamber of Com
merce, and until we are disputed, we
assert that Lakeland leads with
three.

BISPHAM is RIGHT

i orously championed English as the
language which American singers
should use.
In his forceful way he brought out
the fallacy of singing in Italian, French
or German to an English-speaking
audience. He showed that the most
exquisite song is nothing but nonsense
to the average listener when sung in
language which he does not under
stand.
1t is a pity that there are not more
Bisphams on the concert stage to
champion the commonsense cause of
the English language. Too many, alas.
imagine their reputation depends on
their ability to warble or shrek in
some foreign language rather than to
charm by an intelligent use of their
native tongue. The concert halls
would be better filled If music-lovers
could be sure they would not have to
listen to songs that are as Greek to
them.

THE DEER SEASON

w ton submitted to the State
Game Commission to have
the deer hunting season moved to the
first fifteen days of December, it
would seem that the suggestion Is
based on good, hard, common sense.
The Legislature will have to deal with
the subject and it should be consid-
cred on humanitarian grounds, not
those of hunting.
In hunting deer nowadays sports
men use guns almost as high
powered as an army rifle. Bullets
carry for miles. The loss of life by
a chance shot has occurred. Deer
hunting requires good eye and n
steady nerve and as the kills are pos
stble at long range, there is always
more or less danger.
After December the leaves are off
the trees and the underbrush and
men can see for long distances, com
paratively speaking, in the woods.
The advantage of this would be OBJ
Nious. Then, too, it would enable
men to track deer in the snow, which
ordinarily falls by that time of the
year.

THE "BREAD LINE"

TT is to be supposed that those

it is reasonable to suppose that the

the point of starvation. Men who

a free breakfast.
