FIRST QUART OF
STRAWBERRIES
SELLS FOR S5 FOR
BENEFIT RED CROSS

A new record in strawberry prices
was made last night, when the first
quart box of the season sold for $500.
Strawberry growers should not get ex-
cited, however; the demand at this
price is quite limited. The explana-
ton of the fancy price Is not that
Lakeland people are rolling in wealth
or starving for strawberries; the box
was put up at auction and sold for the
benefit of the Red Cross.
The berries were grown by Jesse
Sutton and purchased by Mayor Cox
yesterday, and at the mass meeting in
the Park last night the latter put
them up at auction for the benefit of
the Red Cross. There was some spir-
tied bidding, lasting until Sen. o. M.
Eaton reached the five-dollar mark,
and his competitors then decided that
Mr.. Eaton might feast on the berries.
There have been ripe berries in
this vicinity for a month, but they
have ripened slowly and no shipments
have been made, the crop being two
or three weeks late. It will be only
a few days, however, until Lakeland
berries will be going forward to the
Northern and Eastern markets in lib
eral quantities.

Handsome Arch,
Directing Travel
Via Lakeland, To
Be Erected At
Haines City

Messrs. Bert e. Belts, A. ]. Hol-
worthy and M. F. Hetherington, with
Mr.. F. P. Goodman, Of Lake Alfred,
spent yesterday in Tampa and Plant
City promoting the proposition to
erect a suitable arch at the junction
of the Lee and Jackson Highway and
the Dixie Highway, at Haines City,
this arch to span the Lee and Jackson
Highway, inviting travel by this
route, in order that Lake Alfred, Au-
burndale, Lakeland. Plant City and
Tampa may secure their share Of the
tourist traffic.
As usual, when this kind Of dele
CATION goes after anything. they come
home with the bacon, the interest OF
Plant City and Tampa having been
sufficiently aroused to insure the CO.
operation of these cities and the GER
tainty that the arch will be built.
A lasting and handsome structure is
planned, which, will be Of great ad-
vertising value to the cities which
will have representation on it. The
construction will doubtless be of
stucco adorned with suitable inscrip'
tions { including the names of the
cities represented and the mileage
thereto. The cost is estimated at
about 5000.
The committee called on Messrs
Bonfoey & Elliott, and enlisted the
interest of this always public-spirited
firm of architects to the extent that
without charge. plans, estimates and
specifications of the structure will be
gotten up in readiness for considera'
ton at the meeting Of the Central
Highway Association at Haines City
next Tuesday. Representatives Of all
the cities interested will be represent
ed at that time, and definite action
looking to the early erection Of the
arch will be taken.

In Society
u. D. C. Luncheon
Pleasant Affair

The U. D. c. Chapter gave a lunch
con yesterday in honor of the Vet
Grams of the Lakeland Camp. Lunch
was served in the Methodist church
EjD.e class room, which was decorat-
ed with red and white roses and
poinsettias.
Each Veteran as he entered was
welcomed by the president. Mrs.
Booth, and presented with a button
hole bouquet of red and white flow-
ers.
After lunch cigars were passed and
everyone once again enjoyed hearing
more Of the incidents the dea, ola
gentlemen love to tell. General Cox
was present to the delight Of all. His
talk on the hardships of the sixties
made each one feel stronger I'd meet
the hardships of the present struggle.
Mr.. Hayden, of the G. A. R. veter'
ans. was present and made splendid
talk which was appreciated. On ac-
count Of the rainy morning, many o.
the Veterans were unable to attend.
These were all missed as we'll as Gen.
Allen who was quite sick
The Veterans thanked the ladies
most heartily for their hospitality
ard thoughtfulness.

Asphalt Road From
CSceOla Line To
HilIsborOugh Co.
Via Lakeland Is
Progressing Fine

In spite of statements which have
been made by certain parties up the
road intended to direct traffic from
Lakeland it may be truthfully said
that the road between the Osceola.
County line and Tampa, via Lakeland,
is in better shape than it has been in
sometime. The writer took a trip
over it on Wednesday of this week
and it was only necessary to change
gears twice on the round trip. The
asphalt surface is complete from
Loughman to a point west Of Au-
burndale, with clay on good part of
the rest of the road. The work Is
progressing rapidly and, with the To-
cation of the plant at Carriers within
the next week or two, it will only be
a short time until this portion of the
road will be entirely completed.
Travellers should take the south
road out of Auburndale crossing the
railroad there instead of continuing
along the asphalt road west. This
south road runs into the regular road
at Carriers and avoids bad detours
around the construction work.
In approaching Lakeland at Lake
Boney about one and one quarter of a
mile from town, the fiat woods road
to the right should be taken instead
Of the sand fill around the lake shore.
The same way, in leaving Lakeland
city limits going east, take the left
hand woods road at the end of Nor
ton street, instead of the sand fill.

MEETING held
To DISCUSS MATTER
Of SECURING GOVT
HOSPITAL FOR LAKELAND

News that proposition to establish
base or reconstruction hospital in
South Florida is under consideration
by the war department has resulted
in arousing several cities of this Sec
ton to active efforts in striving to Sc
cure the location Of this institution.
DR.. w. H. Cox, State Health Officer.
seems to be strongly favoring Tampa,
but the great advantages possessed
by Lakeland and the territory sur
rounding doubtless will be taken into
consideration.
In order that these advantages
might be properly impressed upon
the authorities, Mayor Cox last night
called a mass meeting in the City
Park to discuss the matter. The
Mayor presided, Mr.. ]. Hardin Peter
son acting as secretary. Addresses
were made by Hon. o. M. Eaton, Rev.
Wallace Wear, Attorney J. Hardin
Peterson, Rev. c. I. Stacy and Col.
Edwin Spencer. All spoke of the mu.
tual advantages that would result in
the location of the hospital at this
point, and after the speaking the
Mayor presented a set of resolutions
which were unanimously adopted.
These were forwarded to Hon. H. ].
Drane, Senator Trammell and Sena.
tor Fletcher, and 1t is certain that
with these distinguished gentlemen
having the matter In hand, Lakeland's
claims will not lack for proper and
persistent urging.

that thought she slipped out for her
evening meal.
Hardly had she gone when Willy
wakened up. WELL" said he to him

he had slept in, "this is a pleasant
home--quite worth working for.
Only it's a pity to waste 1t on two
