CASTOR BEAN CROP
Is GOOD IN POLK COUNTY

This community has done its bit
for the government towards raising
castor beans from which is obtained
oil for the lubricating Of Uncle Sans
airplanes, as about two hundred acres
have been planted in this article.
One hundred acres Of beans under
the care of W. A. Hatchell are said
to be about the finest in the State,and
fifty more acres under the control OF
Mr.. Hatchell are also splendid, but
do not equal the one hundred acres in
growth and bearing qualities.
Other parties have as much as fifty
acres planted to castor beans, making
the total count up to 200 or more
The bean stalks have attained spler-
did growth and are full of fruit. Some
OF the beans have already been picked
and have been stored in the big ware
house to the rear of Newsome's Gar
age to dry out, this process being nee
essary before the beans are threshed.

PHONE SYSTEM
EXTENDED TO
LAKELAND
HIGHLANDS

The Peninsular Telephone Company
has just completed three new circuits
to Lakeland Highlands, one a private
line to W. F. Hallam & Co., with pri-
vate branch exchange to connect with
nine phones in the Club House, Of
fees, etc., and the other two circuits
connect up sixteen subscribers in that
section with the Lakeland Exchange
This is a great convenience to the
people of that section, and is also a
piece of splendid work on the part OF
the Telephone company. Additional
phones can be installed by winter res
idents and the phone, with the good
roads now connecting that section
with Lakeland, make Lakeland High
lands seem but part of the city in
stead of six miles out.
