Afternoon papers getting into
Lakeland last night, and morning
pepers whose telegraph news is han
dad exclusively with the scissors,
handled yesterdays Mexican war
news in a very incomplete and unsat-
isfactory manner. The Tampa Tri-
bune this morning, however, carried
the identical news that the Evening
Telegram gave yesterday afternoon.
And you will find just that kind Of
service in the Evening Telegram ev-
cry day of the year. 1t gives the
worlds important news from twelve
To twenty-four hours earlier than
any other paper that circulates here,
because it has the Associated Press
service, the greatest and most relia-

blossoms, while loving their native
land none the less. was the thought
embodied in this beautifully worded
tribute to the State of their adoption.
The next number on the program
was a solo THE Zephyr" BEAUTIFULLY

Goode accompanist. An encore was
called for, but not being prepared,
this sweet singer was obliged to de-
cline.
Hon. H. J. Drane was then called
upon to address the gathering, and in
most interesting manner he told of
recent trip into the Everglades and
of his conversation with Abraham
Lincoln, an educated Seminole Indian.
This was one of the most interesting
and entertaining features of the pro-
gram. as Mr.. Drane told the story
most delightfully."-, and it contained his
torical information which all were
highly interested in.
Mrs. C. A. Cole next delighted all
with vocal selection For This,
which SO captivated her hearers that
they called for more and she respond

reputation as an ora r and who is
engaged in Anti-salool league work
throughout the country, was in the
city, and being from Illinois was in
vited to be present. He was called
upon for few remarks, and made
a most pleasing talk, Astounding with
! witticisms and good humor, at the
same time voicing his appreciation
of this favored section, declaring that
he had seen no section which impress.
ed him more than Lakeland.
Mr.. l.. F. Freese. president of the
Illinois Society at ST. Petersburg, was
! present, and he told in an interesting
way of the manner in which the Club
in that city is conducted.
The program closed with the sing.
ing of America. DR.. w. 3. Moon
acted as Toast Master and filled this
difficult role with the grace and abil
ity which is so necessary to make a

cisiOn. Mrs. j. G. Holcombe was the

TOO LATE TO
REGISTER AFTER
MONDAY APR. 3

The Chamber of Commerce desires
to call attention to the confusion eX
listing in the minds of many who do
not know just when the registration
books will actually close. Conflicting
statements have been made and some
of the registration officers believe
that the books close tonight. Here
is the law, however, taken from
chapter 6S74; section 8, of the Laws
of Florida, as passed at the last leg
islature.
Section 8. That the county reg
istration books for tach election dis
trict shall be open on each week day
from a. m. to II M, and from
2 p. m to 5 p. M, and one night
each week until 9 p. m, at some
convenient place in each election dis
trict in each county of this state,
from the first Monday in March to
and in including the first Monday Of
April in 1916, and biennially there
after during such period for the reg
istration of all persons who are le-
,gally qualified to register for the
general election" etc.
1T is, therefore, clear that the reg
istration books must be kept open on
Monday Of next week.
After that day some of us will be
good American citizens, others like
the Chinese, SO far as voting is con-
cerned.
