helped to develop new lines of
trade. The owners personal and
business taxes would have meant
much within themselves.
Bear in mind that home trading is
a most vital element in community
welfare and progress. Consider
carefully the fact that portion Of
every dollar spent in local stores
finds its way to some essential func-
ton for the support and develop
ment of the neighborhood, the gem
eral prosperity of which you must
necessarily share in.
Increased local business means a
possibility for securing additional
modern public cOnveniences and
luxuries, additional trading, educa-
tional, religious and social advan-
tages, consequently, increased indi-
tidual wealth and opportunity.
Your local merchants are entitled
to your patronage, provided they Of
fer you the right kind of merchan-
disc at the right price, and you owe
it to yourself and your community
OF extend it to them.

Helping to Make Progressive
Town.

If you have children to educate,
if you are interested in local condi-
tons or religious affairs, il you own
or expect to own a home, or other
property in your community, a few
minutes thoughtwiil prove to you
that it is to your best inter
est to patronize your local stores
at all times, provided investigation
proves that you can do so to as
good advantage as elsewhere.
| realize that there is a certain
class of merchantS-and they are
still represented in many towns and
cities-who will not handle stand
ard products and who expect buy
ersto pay eXhorbitant prices for
goods of unknown Or doubtful quail
ity and origin merchandise on
which they can demand wide mar
gins or profit.
This class of "storekeepers," how
ever, represent a comparatively
small minority and is fast going the
way of the prehistoric dinosar and
the nearly extinct lnossback farmer
who don't have to read nothing
about farming"
Villages, towns and communities
develop in accordance with the
amount of effort put forth and al
so the quality of effort put forth
by their citizenship, and progress
sive,' right-living people who have
long since learned that il is Meth
er profitable nor pleasant to live
in non-progressive communities. In
nearly every locality are fathers
and mothers whose sons and daugh-
terS have been forced to leave home
in order to secure profitable en-
ployment that should have been af-
forded locally.
If you live on a farm you want
good roads, schools, churches, tele-
phone service, mail delivery and a
convenient market in which to dis
pose of your products and from
which to supply your wants.
If you live in town you want, in
addition to the above, good streets
and sidewalks, wholesome amuse-
ments-those things that go TO make
community worth living in.
These advantages are the natural
outcome of, and are limited to the
growth and condition Of your To-
cality, which is in turn dependent
upon the extent Of local trade activ- !

Because Lakeland is a compara-

not gather the impression that in
coming to this city one must sacri-
flee any Of the comforts that were
left behind. AS matter of fact, few
cities Of Lakeland's population in the
older States can compare with it in
respect to its improvements and gen.
eral up-to-date characteristics. There
are miles of streets paved with brick
or asphalt; municipality owned light
and water plant, with fine sewerage
system; handsome and well-stocked
stores; daily and weekly newspa-
pers; three strong banks excellent
hotels, an ice factory, a splendid
telephone system, cigar factories.

LAKELAND'S CHAU-
TAUQUA, A GREAT
MORAL AND EDUCA-
TIONAL INFLUENCE

One Of the influences that has
wrought much for the good of Lake
land is the Lakeland Chautauqua, of
which c. Rucker Adams is the super
intendent and moving spirit. Mr..
Adams came to Lakeland eight years
ago, and established this splendid ed
ucalional enterprise, which has be-
come one Of the dity's permanent and
most valuable institutions. For a
couple of seasons the meetings were
held in tent, but through tho eff,
forts of Mr.. Adams, a Chautauqua
association was organized, resulting
in the erection of a magnificent Au-
diorium with capacity Of nearly
1000.
The Chautauqua sessions are held
in February Of each year. Mr.. Adams
is in touch with the best talent
throughout the country, and his
programs are marvels Of
high-class entertainments. He has
presented such attractions as Will
liam Jennings Bryan, George Stuart,
Ross Crane, and others whom it has
been delight and privilege to OBJ
serve on the platform. This year an
exceptionally strong program has
beer arranged, and It is confidently
expected that the attendance will ex-
coed even the fine records of other
years.
Mr. Adams is most ably seconded
in his work by his accomplished wife,
who is herself very much in demand
in Chautauqua circles as an exponent
of physical culture and health exer-
cises. Both have just completed
seventy-day lecture trip with the
Lincoln Chautauqua through the
North. travelling over five States, de.
livering health lectures daily.

more adequate provision Tor inc care
of the ever growing number OF insane
persons in the state than is recon-
mended by Governor Whitman IN ms
annual message was begun IN the SEN
ate tonight. The State Hospital Com
mittee sent a message describing the
deplorably Cvercrowded conditions IN
the thirteen state hospitals, and Sen
a.Or Sage, chairman of the Finance
Committee, insisted on its being read
instead of merely received and re-
ferred to a committee. The message
then went to his committee.
The message states that exclusive
of parole cases there arc 33,9SS pa
tents in the state hospitals and that
their capacity is only 27.S90. The per
centage Of overcrowdlng is 29.9. The
upstate hospitals arc overcrowded from

tan institutions as a whole are over

condition existing at the Manhattan
State Hospital on Wards Island, where
the overcrowding is 80 per cent. At
