NO MORE WATER FOR
LAWNS AND GARDENS

The shortage OF the water supply at
the wells continues at an alarming ex-
tent. The available quantity ID entirely
inadequate to supply the demand for
lawn, street and garden use, and it has
been found necessary to prohibit the
use of water entirely for these purposes.
The council took this action at special
meeting last Monday night, in order to
provide fire protection to the village
Notices to this effect have been mailed
to ali water users, and the regulation
will be rigldly enforced until further
notice.

MEMORIAL DAY
EXERCISES HELD
This MORNING

The Lakeland Post, G. A. R., and
the lakeland Circle, Ladies OF the
G. A. R.. held Memorial day exercises
in the cemetery this morning, begin
ming at $50.
Mr.. A. C. Shaffer presided as Of
f1cer of the day and the opening

Ward, chaplain OF the ladies of the
G. A. R.
Mr.. Thomas Bryant read a copy
of the general order. dated May 5,
1868, setting aside May Both Of the
same year as the first Memorial day.
This was a beautiful and impressive
piece of literature and its wealth
of patriotic sentiment and apprecia-
tion of the soldier was well brought
out by Mr.. Bryant.
Another impressive and historical
ly interesting production was Lin
coins address at Gettysburg, which
was well and forcefully delivered by
Mrs. w. B. Moon.
Mr.. Shaffer then address the
gathering in few well chosen re-
marks. touching especially upon the
fact that the inevitable sadness of
such an occasion is more than offset
by the inspiration and gratitude
aroused by the thought of the brav-
cry and patriotism of the men they
had met to honor
A number of patriotic songs were
sung in chorus during the pros ram.
The formal ceremony of decorating
the graves was carried out above the
grave of Capt Bonacker, after which
the gray-haired veterans and their
wives and daughters moved through
both cemeteries strewing with a pro-
fusion of flowers the graves of the
dead heroes of both the Northern
and Southern armies.
A good many of those who took
part in the exercises this morning
enjoyed a picnic lunch at the noon
hour at the home of Mrs. NJ. E. Nc
Donald on South Tennessee avenue.

DIR. BARTON FAvORS BONDS
AND BELIEVES MAJORITY
OF MEN ARE HONEST

To the Lakeland Evening Telegram
] want to go publicly on record as
heartily in favor of the bond issue
for the building of good roads. Hav-
ing been taxpayer in the county of
Polk for the past five years, and the
company which | represent having
paid into the county treasury in that
time between nine and ten thousand
dollars, l feel that we are entitled to
express our views to the opponents
of the bonds, although we are not
native-born Floridians.
! came here to make this my home
and am naturally interested in ev-
erything that is for the upbuilding
of the State, and of this county and
town in particular.
No new country has ever been
built up by local talent and capital,
so if we want our property to be en-
HANGED in value we must invite out
side capital to invest in the enter
prises of our community, and in or
der to make it attractive to the in
weston we must offer some induce
ments to him. The building of good
roads is one of the greatest induce
ments we can possibly offer, and the
broadcast criticism of our public
roads has been one of our greatest
drawbacks. This is in my opinion
the time to overcome that adverse
criticism
/ do not believe any one objects to
having better roads; the objection
seems to be to borrowing money to
build them. If the people who are
opposing the borrowing of money for
this purpose would stop to figure how
much road could be built with the
taxes they pay, they would see the
small chance we have of getting
good roads in that manner. The peo-
pie who are paying the big taxes IN
the county are heartily in favor of
bonding for the roads They are the
people who are taking the chances
if there are any chances. The man
who pays five dollars in taxes will
have the same interest in the roads
as the man who pays five thousand
and when the roads are completed
will have the same privileges of their

ber give his record and adopt the
resolutions following as a memorial
of his life and the high esteem in
which he was held by his comrades:
March 81, 1861, he enlisted under
Captain J . ]. Wescoat in Co. B, 18th
regiment, South Carolina Volunteer
infantry, and served until the close
of the war. He was wounded at the
battle of Cold Harbor and was a
faithful soldier to the end of the
war.
He came to Lakeland only in 1904,
but was known in Polk for over
thirty years.
In 1876 he entered the service of
the Baptist church as a minister of
the gospel and continued in that
work to the end of his life In this
work he was very successful in
building up his church. His friends
were numbered only by those who
knew him. He had no enemies

use. ! do not mean that the five
thousand-dollar man is showing any
particular unselfishness as he knows
the money-saving advantages of good
roads and knows that his property
will be enhanced in value proper
tionately with that of the smaller
taxpayer.
| would be very sorry to have the
view toward humanity expressed by
some of the opposition, namely that
all men are dishonest 1t would make
me profoundly sad to believe this to
be true. I much prefer to think that
all men mean to be honest, and that
only occasionally do we find one who
is an exception
Finally, I would say to the oppo-
nents of good roads: Let the other
fellow take the chances; come and
join us and make the sentiment in
favor of the bond issue and good
roads unanimous.

C. ". deem TELLS
WHY He FAVORS THE
BOND ISSUE

The following is statement made
today by Mr.. c. W. Deem regarding
the pending bond issue:
i will say that own and am pay
ing taxes on twenty thousand acres
OF land" inh the northerns portion of
this county. / pay about 1,500. 90
taxes on this land and We have no
clayed roads or proposed sheet as
phalt roads in that section of this
county, but l know that we can not
get all the sheet asphalt roads we
need with this bond issue. We know
that they ought to be built where the
most people are to be benefited
The northern part of this county
only have small per cent. of the
population, but believe we have
good chance to get hard roads in
the northern part of Polk if this
bond issue carries, and hardly any
chance if the bond issue does not
carry. therefore, favor the one and
one-half million bond issue even for
this and several other more impor-
tant reasons.
Il know of only two things that
will build cities-one is factories
and these We have little chance of
getting in this county-and the 9TH
er is to back up the cities with farm
ers. The farmer is the most impor-
tant and the only thing that will
make the city prosperous here and
the cities are a great convenience to
the farmers.
Il expect to see traction Ford en-
gines within less than five years at
$3.50 doing the work on farms that
two mules will do and much more.
per day; expect to see these trac-
tion engines blowing and hauling ev-
erything a farmer will have to do
on a farm, and do it with one en-
CINE to every sixty acres, and If the
farmer lives Is or 20 miles from
market he can take his produce to
market in about 1-2 hour should
he have a good sheet asphalt road
near his home; and, as see it. the
farmer will get more benefit from
this bond issue than anyone else. I
hope this bond issue will carry by
big majority"
