Gladys Writes
To P. C.'S
Dear C. Green:

Dear C. Green:
I'VE been wondering il you ever
see green these days out at the ball
grounds when the sun is streaming
down SO hot and you are putting
down queer little marks in that black
book of yours. I've often wondered
what you were doing out there and
I asked TRULY o'steen If you were so
lonesome since your wife went away
that 1t had gone to your head, your
mania being to go the ball games and
sit out on a bench in the sun putting
down funny looking things in that
book, which I couldn't see what they
were until / looked over Will Sam
mons head, after he had moved 1t
good long ways to the east. What
l saw made me think you were A.
Nut. for who would go to game OF
ball and spend all the time putting
down pop" "single," "out," 2b and
lot of other things I couldn't see
on account of Bill Sammon's left ear
getting in my way. figured out
that you were dreaming about the
affectionate name your children call
you; the days when YOU might have
smiled on me, instead of TRULY; the
spot you generally try to be when
the bill collector comes around, and
the number of bottles you generally
crave on a hot day. Speaking OF bot
ties, I think if you made a practice
of taking a bottle Of Chero-Cola just
before you start to a ball game, it
would put you in better frame Of
mind, and by the time you got out to
the grounds you would sit up kinder
close to me and forget that old book.
Pd be glad to divide my time with
you and also my Chero-Cola, for ev-
cry few minutes when I'm at ball
game l drop a gentle hint about it
being so hot and how dry I am"
and TRULY comes across every time.
i'm let you drink half of every bot
tie he pays for, but you had better
watch him, for he might send you a
bill for it on the first. understand
he does send out little reminders
about jewelry and other things that
people buy and forget to pay him for,

At this time when it seems the
fashion for interlopers to come in
from other States and, to advance
their selfish ends. seeks to arouse
prejudice, create antagonisms, and
discredit the work of men who have
labored to upbuild the State for
many years. the following sane and
timely editorial from that substan-
tial journal, the st. Augustine Rec
ord, is worthy the careful perusal
and serious thought of the people:
Many papers of the State have
given too much space to the ludi'
crous threats and boasts OF freak
candidates for political office, there
by spreading the religious prejudice
and intolerance which melted tht
foolish and unthinking people. Po'
litical bunk of many kinds is used IN

THE MILITIA

Congress has at last been brought
face to face with conditions and that
is the reason why Congress is ham,
mering home the idea of greater
army in addition to a greater navy.
After four weeks of mobilizing
June 10 to July I'D only $4,000 OF
$4,000 guardsmen had actually
reached the border. OF these 80 per
cent, and in some cases., so per cent,
were found to be physically unfit for
service, while approximately one
third of the national guard now at
the border are raw recruits without
any military training whatever.
After reciting these facts. the
Merchants Association, of New
York, recently endorsed the plan to
increase the regular army from
275, 900 to 100000 men, to estab-
lish military training, and to create
second line reserve of 100000 to
/ 100000 men.
It will be recalled that General
Wood advocates an army-given an
efficient fieet--of 225, 900 to 10000.
The action of the Merchants As
ISOLATION is typical of the action talk
en- by hundreds of organizations
throughout the United States, and
that is the reason why Congress sees
the light.
For reasons which 1t is not nee
essary to discuss now, the militia
has proved inefficient in national
crisis. Either the men lacked food
or they lacked horses, or they lacked
officers or they lacked trains, or they
lacked guns or they lacked discip-
line "A nd the million men the pa
cifists thought would spring, full
armed (like Minerva), to their coun-
try's aid-where, oh, where are they
now?
After a months enlisting effort,
there are only sixteen men who have
qualified for Pensacolas military
company. This is per centage of
half man to the thousand eligible.
Whether this record is better or
worse than in other places, is not
particularly important; the out
standing fact proved by recent
events is that, so far as service ia
concerned, it doesn't particularly
matter whether there's any militia
or not. The truth of the matter il
that we mustn't trust TO the militia

There are a great many municipal
hospitals throughout the country,
and some at no great distance, oper-
ating successfully under conditions
very similar to those existing in
Lakeland. Might it not be we'll to
ascertain the plan under which some
of these successful institutions are
being conducted, and model the op-
erations of our hospital along sim
liar lines? The hospital proposition,
so far as management and operation
are concerned, is new one to both
the City Commissioners and the ply
sicians of Lakeland. Both these
bodies of men, we are sure, are anx-
ious to serve the best interests OF
the people, and make of the hospital
an institution that will be credit
and a satisfaction to the city. 1t
does not seem to us that differences
which may have arisen should be ir-
reconcilable. There should be a
middle ground on which both the
Commissioners and the physicians
could get together ON harmoni-
GUS footing. OF course, Morrell
Memorial Hospital is a municipal
hospital, and, as such, undeniably
the City Commissioners have the
right to regulate its general opera
lions, and its financial management
naturally devolves upon them. So
far as the technical or medical side
of the situation is concerned, 1t
looks like the physicians ought to
have considerable to say. There does
not seem, really, to be any consider
able cause OF disagreement, and we
are hopeful that the differences ex-
listing may speedily be dissolved, and
that the hospital may soon be full
filling the mission contemplated by
the benevolence of the person with
whom its idea originated, and the
purpose which the citizens had in
mind when they voted funds for
building and equipment.

in 1915 by the old G O.. p, reminds
me of the shark story recently read
in the Tampa Tribune, written by
a Kissimmee gentleman giving an in
teresting experience with a big
shark he had caught, and after they
had ripped the monster from end to
end and put it back in the water.
the shark opened its mouth to swal-
low, its own entrails.
