coming in nine cases out CT ten. One
is not called upon to express opinions

A newspaper training would be a

ORDER FOR SNAKE POISON

From Silver Palm. in the southern
end of the county. comes a snake
story of more than usual interest.
pr. Hiram Bird some time ago re-
celyed request from a noted physi-
elan in Philadelphia asking him to
secure if possible an ounce of rattle
snake poison taken from live snakes.
The northern man is evidently one
of those who believe that rattle
snakes can be found in the back
yards of the cities of South Florida.
or he would have realized that this
was an exceedingly large order for
this section, as there are hundreds
Of native Miamians who never saw
a live rattlesnake in or out of cap
tivity. However, DR.. Bird, with the
aid of some of the Indians living in
the 'Galdes adjacent to that section,
has secured thirteen snakes of vari-
Gus sizes and is slowly securing the
poison from them.-Miami Herald.

erably in it, and there is every indi-
cation that their faith will be fully
justified by magnificent success
When it is considered that this plant
can take the waste products CT the
grove and convert them into articles
OF ready marketable value, there
seems every reason to believe that 1t
is financially sound proposition, be-
sides being of great advantage and
benefit to the citrus industry and TO
the State generally.

THE LAKELAND NEWS

One or two of our contemporaries
which worry because we devote an
occasional paragraph to Cats. should
train their fire on Goode Guerry, one
of the Cats campaign managers,
who devotes nearly a column of the
l.eesburg Commercial to a sarcastic
discussion of the Governors idiosyn-
cracies. Then there is scarcely a pa
per in the State that has not ex-
pressed disappointment at the GUST
ing of two such splendid men as Fos-
ter and Porter and the filling Of
their places with men cf doubtful
qualifications. A score of papers III
the State deal with the Governor
more at length and more severely
than does the Evening Telegram

sion Ii would almost seem as if our

The pay of soldiers is a pertinent
subject that is receiving some atten-
tion from patriotic newspapers of
the country, and It is well worthy of
serious consideration Patriotism,
like salvation is supposed to be and
ought to be free; but both the fight
ers for patriotism and those fer sal
walton are deserving of the best that
can be done for them. What Uncle
Sam pays his soldiers, as everyone
knows, is miserably Inadequate, and
its effect is to penalize patriotism,
and often a family whose provider
has gone to the defense of his coun-
try becomes practically pauperized
This is decidedly not as it should be,
and certainly something should be
done to remedy this condition. Money
is wasted in innumerable ways by
those who handle the public funds,
end retrenchment could well be
rnade along some lines in order that
a little more could be paid our sol
diers than the wretched pittance
they now receive.

A careless man was Jules NJ. Shook;
He never looked in the telephone

He got wrong parties most of the

And swore at the service and called
it a crime.
A silly thing was Lizzie Zed;
She held the phone behind her head
When people cried, I'VE cannot hear"
She always answered, Huh That's
queer"
A busy chap was Jasper Jupp;
He called a number, then hung up.
Hello" the other folks would call
And get no answer back at all.
Extremely prone was Maisie Miegle,
To give the hook frantic jiggle.
She drove a dozen Central's crazy,
But that was nothing much to
Maisie.
A slothful man was Giles G. Golf;
He used to leave receivers off.

KILLER HOTEL VICTIM OF
BAD CHECK ARTIST

A new confidene game is being
practiced by gang of easy money
workers in Florida. Their game is
smooth. and the takings have been
largely up to date. One of the gang
goes into town where there is a
large theater, registers himself at
the leading hotel and informs the
clerk that he is represeting ID. w.
Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation"
and is arranging for a local presen-
tation. He calls on the manager Of
the theater always making sure first
that the manager is not holding a
contract for the show, and promises
to book his theater. After staying
in the city for day or two and Civ
ing information to the newspapers
about 1.-THE Birth of a Nation" he
has no trouble in having his checks
cashed
The latest victim to his schemes
is the Kibler Hotel, Lakeland, where
the confidence man gave checks in
the name of c. A. Irvine on a bank
in Anderson. Ind. The worker" in
Lakeland was described as being
about twenty-five years old, about six

that the ADVANTAGE of curbing was

WASTE PRODUCTS OF,
GROVE BEING TURNED
into MONEY BY
LAKELAND INSTITUTION

| Few people realize that an enter
lrise Ct great economic value 20 this
community, and with tremendous
possibilities, is quietly but husily
operating in Lakeland, and that its
success will mean more for this city
an0 section, and for the citrus in
dustry generally, than that of per-
haps any other institution in this
locality.
We refer to the Lakeland Citrus
Juice Co., which just now is one OF
the busiest concerns in this commun-
lily, turning to advantage the recent
calamitous cold, and converting
what otherwise would be absolute
waste into products of desirability
and value.
At this time the platform of the
,company's building on West Main
street is heaped with boxes of citrus
fruits which have been picked up as
"drops' from the groves of the vicin
ity. much of this fruit having been
rendered unstable by the recent
freeze The sterilizing processes OF
the factory, however, killing the
germ of fermentation, render this
fruit entirely available for the de-
licious by-products which are turned
out by this enterprise.
\ plant embracing considerable
special machinery has been installed

Of the institution. who is also the in
ventor of the processes which keep
sweet and fresh the juices, syrups,
etc, which form the principle pro-
ducts of the factory The fruit is
first peeled in an ingenious machine
Iof Dr. Moncrief's invention; and by
this operation also the oils contained
in the peeling is extracted. This oil
is very valuable, as the basis of per-
fumes and for other purposes, and it
is expected ultimately to make of it
a source of large revenue.
After being peeled the fruit is cut
in halves and fed to specially con-
structed press which forces it
through cylinders, extracting every
particle of juice. which is then
strained and carried to retorts where
formative formulas preserves it in
definitely in its natural state 1t is
then bottled and ready for the mar
kct. 1t is stated hat the problem of
marketing is not to find buyer but
TO choose through which of num-
Der of eager agencies the products
viii be handled The demand is
said to be far beyond any prospect
of production, and the products can
lal be sold at handsme margin of
profit. The factory at present is
running at full capacity and over
time. and is employing consider
able crew of help.
Several prominent Lakeland citi-
zens have demonstrated their faith
in the enterprise by investing consid-
