Chicago, Oct. 19.-President Will
son delivered three speeches, partici-
pated in several street demonstra-
tons and went over his western cam
paign with his managers today. In
an address at the Chicago Press Club
the president predicted a "rennai-
sance of a sense of patriotic respon-
sibility' and urged development of
progressiveness.
Speaking later before a gathering
of women, he urged more participa-
ton by women in the affairs of the
nation. At a meeting of new citizens
tonight he declared for united Amer

brellas and canes were used by the
crowd to demelish banners, and many
women were knocked down, finally
leaving the scene under police pro-

In speech to women the president
upheld the eight-hour work day and
praised manufacturers who adopted
it. He addressed the women as ''fel-
low citizens" and declared that he
hoped the time would come when ma
tions will recognize the fright of
humanity to be greater than the right
of sovereignty" He added: zone
thing which distressed me in talks
with railroad managers and en-
ployes was their distrust for each

REPAIRING STORM
DAMAGE AT ONCE

Undannted by the fact that two
rather destructive storms passed over
the city within the past three months,
repair work went on merrily and hur-
riedly during yesterday. At every
point where damage had been sus-
tanned, and where the necessary la
Dor and material were available, re-
pairs went forward.
Brick buildings on Palafox street,
which suffered more or less damage
were the first sought by contractors
This was especially the case with oc-
cupied business buildings. The Nc
Kenzie-Oerting eompany's building
which presented such wrecked ap-
pearance the morning before, last eve
ming, with the exception of the shed
in 'front.', was almost completely re.
paired. Brick masons and carpenter.
were obtained the day before anC
went to work at sun-up yesterday.
The city had wagons all over dur
ing the day, hauling away great guam
titles of debris, and this work will b.
kept up for some several days.

MARINE MAGAZINE
MAKES CORRECTION

A correction was made in the lat
est issue of Shipping Illustrated of
an error which appeared in the num-
Der of September so, which did PEN
sacola an injustice.
The error was called to the atten-
ton of Editor r. deTankerville by
Secretary James f. Phillips, and he
was notified that due explanation
would be made. The following notice
appears in the current number:
"a new record was established in
coaling the Leyland liner Median at
Pensacola last week, and it is prob
able that more ships of this line will
call there for coal The Median COM
menced coaling at $40 and the work
of loading nearly 500 tons was fin
ished at o'clock the same after
noon. This established a new coal
ing record for the Gulf coast.
.sUnder this heading in the Septem-
Der 80 number it was stated that the
Leyland liner Indian had put into Mo-
bile for bunker drawing 20 feet Of
water. Owing to printers error the
name of Mobile was given instead OF
Pensacola, as it is evident from the
locations mentioned in that para
graph, that the port of Pensacola wa:

magnitude and one which will bene-

iconsumated, whereby a large syndi-
cate, composed of Texas millionaires
become the owner of ! ,250 acres w.
ing on the east shore of Lake Park

DIR. Barton for this property was in
the neighborhood of $4,000 cash.
The purchasers have thousands of
acres of groves in California, and
they propose to lay their property on
Lake Parker out in model farms and
groves, which, however, will not be
for sale, but will be retained by the
owners for their own profit. The en-
tire tract will be put into cultiva-
ton, and work will commence. with
in the next few weeks.
The new owners were attracted to
Polk county because of the $780,
600 bond issue for good roads and to
Lakeland as being the metropolis of
the county and especially adapted to
the culture of both citrus fruits and
vegetables. This big development
will be a great thing for
Lakeland, and will do much to put
this city on the map to a much

SOME OF THE PLANS FOR
THE CANNING CLUB WORK

AS our short course and contest
are over it is time to begin work for
the coming year. We want to make
the largest yield that has ever been
made in Polk county. Out motto is
ITO make the best better" If work
! is worth doing, it is worth doing
well. The following is a plan
which | hope to carry out as far as
it is possible for me to do so. The
girls are being organized into clubs,
by doing this and having some GEN.
trail place for them to meet me l can
meet with them oftener and spend
the time in giving them instructions,
instead of spending the time on the
road. This also gives the girls an
opportunity to be together and ex-
change ideas, making the work
more pleasant for them, and making
it a community interest. .
AS we know the girls between the
ages of 10 and Is are eligible for
membership in the Canning Club.
Each girl has her one-tenth acre OF
land. The first year girls plant this
one tenth plot in tomatoes, study
the methods of cultivation, and keep
an accurate record of all work done
and the number of pounds garnered.
When the tomatoes are ripe, the
club members are urged to sell them
fresh as long as they can get good
price, and to can all tomatoes
which they cannot sell at a profit,
for home use or for market.
The second year girls continue to
grow tomatoes on one-half of their
plots, and on the other half plant
some other crop begun in the first
and continue during the four years.
After the girl has been in the club
for four years, we hope that she
will be able to can any kind OF vege-
table grown, and know how to cook
these vegetables, to know something
of food values, to know how to make
jellies, preserves, marmalades and
pick, and bread, and to know how
