Lakeland Has A Splendid 8 Hole Golf Course ::

tunity to talk with them they ex-
pressed the greatest enthusiasm for
the natural beauty and the wonderful
possibilities of the Lakeland High
lands Golf Course. Some of them
had visited Florida year after year,
and had never dreamed that there
was in the state such a spot as could
be found among the highlands and
beautiful lakes with which we are so
graciously blessed.
These visitors of the past year
have returned to their homes, and
the advertising they will give us in
their local clubs will undoubtedly re-
suit in largely increased patronage
for the golf club during the coming
season. The golf players of the
north appreciate the undulating char
acter of our course and the sporty
nature of several of the holes to be
negotiated.
The club has present member
ship of about seventy-five, all of
whom are stock subscribers to the
Lakeland Golf Association, the cor
poration holding title to and manag-
ing the property. A recent plan has
been adopted for associate members,
who are not required to hold stock
in the corporation, and it is believed
that a little work in the next thirty
days on the part of the present men,
bers will result in largely increased
membership
1t is the desire of every member of
the Lakeland Highlands Golf Club
to make for Lakeland and Polk Coun-
ty a golf course which will eventually
be known as one of the best golf
courses in the south. 1t is already
conceded by all who have visited it
to have the most beautiful natural at
fractions, and it needs only the de-
velopment that time and work alone
can give.
Thanking you for the opportunity
oI calling tHe dlteHtloH Ol your Tedu-
ers again to our club, and taking this
occasion to congratulate you upon
what you have accomplished in the
building up of newspaper that
would be creditable to city of twice
or three times the size of Lakeland,
beg to remain,
Yours very sincerely,

President Lakeland Golf Asso.

Lincoln, Neb., June 14.-Colonel The
odore Roosevelt, in a speech which he
delivered here today at the celebration
of the semi-centennial OF the statehood
of Nebraska, criticized the national pol
icy OF the United States for failure to
protest promptly against German ruth
lessness and brutality, deplored national
failure TO prepare for war, pleaded for
undivided loyalty to the American Rag,
denounced the pacifists, and asked for
generous support for the use Of the
Red Cross in caring for American
troops on European battlefields.

devotions and national antipathies Of

Distemper is something from which
horses in this country are liable to

exposed to the severe and rapid
changes Of weather and the germs Of

in any form run thru the stables. 1t
