Golf Course To
Be Established
Near Lakeland

For long time it has been con-
coded that the one thing most need
ed in Lakeland is some form of
amusement for the tourists and win
ter visitors, Provision for this need
is contemplated by movement now
we'll under way, and which undoubt-
eddy will have a successful culmina-
ton, to establish a golf course in
the vicinity of the city.
A tract of land, admirably suited
for the purpose, has been donated by
w. F. Hallam Go. on Scott lake,
one Of the prettiest and most attrac-
tive spots in Florida. Here it is
proposed to build club house. and
to provide facilities for tennis, boat
ing, bathing, etc. The roads leading
to the course will be put in excellent
condition, and only a quick and
pleasant trip will be necessary to
cover the distance between Lakeland
and the links.
Messrs. NJ. Agrees and B. E.
Belts are engaged in making can
vass in the interests of the project,
and in very short time they have
secured the following signatures rep
resenting stock subscriptions rang
ing from 500 to $1,000: H. J..

ford. Practically every person these
gentlemen have seen have subscribed
for stock, and they really have only
fairly begun their canvassing. An
additional list of subscribers will be
published later.
This is a movement in which every
citizen interested in the growth of
the community should heartily join,
as 1t means that tourists and visitors
of the best class will be attracted
here, and will be kept here for weeks
whereas many of them remain only
a day or two, going on to some other
place where they can enjoy their
favorite amusement. Let us all get
, behind this movement and help
push it to a successful issue.

You can't change the rules during a

You can imagine what would result
Each nation would clamor and argue
for the kinds of laws that would best
suit its particular kind OF fighting. Tho
nations could never agree and as a
result, probably, there would be inter-
national anarchy instead OF any KIND
of international law.
But when peace Is declared. then II
