 Prominent automobile. police and insurance men throughout the coun- try, have given their approval to such a movement. Although no compulsory legislation has been passed to com pei such inspection, it has had the en- dorsement of such officials as Arthur Woods, former police commissioner of New York City. and Francis M. Hugo. secretary of state, New York. The popularity of the movement must rest upon the almost voluntary support of automobile owners, especially at first. The plan of the movement is to ask every motorist and truck owner to have his brakes inspected by author

FIGURES ON LAND LEVEL|NG BY J. $.

The Reclamation Record for March in an article entitled Land Leveling with Tractors on the TruckeeCarson project says:
 During the summer of 1917 we operated only two tractors on the Truckee- Carson project, mostly as an experiment and to determine costs of land preparation. We have recently ordered three more, and intend to do work on a much larger scale in fact if we are successful in working out some satisfactory lighting scheme in the form of flood lights we intend to work the machines "A hours per day.

CUTTING OUT THE WHITE WAYS

There is likelihood that ruling
will be passed by DR.. Garfield, Fuel
Administrator, doing away with all
white Ways" for the period of
the war, thus saving a tremendous
amount of coal.
Speaking locally, Lakeland would
hate to do without her white Way"
which has been such pleasure as
well as business asset to the city,
but if the Government thinks we
should do without it, then the citizens
of Lakeland in this, as in every other
case will uphold the hands of those
in authority.
That makes us think that the Sun
day School is like unto the white
Way, always giving out light wher
and where 1t Is needed and not hiding
under bushel So we would like fol
you to uphold the hands" of Him ii
authority by meeting with us tomor

CARNIVAL FOLKS RELUCTANT
TO LEAVE LAKELAND

n is with sincere regrets that all
those connected with the various
. musement attractions now exhibit
,np at the Elks' Carnival realize that
this is the last night of their en-
% gement in Lakeland. And this
week will go down in the history OF
the Krause Greater Shows as being
one of the most pleasant engage
ments during its 10 years existence
both from a monetary and social
standpoint. Crowds have increased
nightly until the big lot has become
laughing, joy-loving, pleasure-seek-
ing sea of humanity all bent on IN
dulging in the many high class at
fractions that the Elks have secured
for this occasion, and such an order
" and refined mass Of people would
he hard to find elsewhere. Not one
instance of disorderly conduct has
been reported to the police, thanks
to their ever-popular and efficient
chief who, with his assistants, has
handled the large crowds nightly in
mastery manner. So this has been
one week where the better element
could enjoy some outdoor amusement
in comfort, for when the B. P. o. B.
Of Lakeland undertake to do any
thing they do it right with the re-
suit that husband and wife, lover and
sweetheart and men and their fam
lilies went to the Carnival by the
hundreds and will 60 again tonight,
for this is their last chance to enjoy
the many high class attractions Of
the Elks' big Carnival and bid a fond
adieu to the Krause Greater Shows
whose slogan is "Your Moneys
: worth or your money back"

An article in this issue from Coun.
ty Judge Kelsey Blanton, relative to
this city's being made the headquar-
tiers for band of crooks Is worthy
of serious consideration. 1t is matter
Of common report that an organiza-
ton Of this character has been oper-
ating in and from this city during
the winter. Some pretty we'll au-
thenticated stories of their having
tieced victims out Of large sums have
leaked out, but the most part
1t has been possible to get only some
what indefinite information as to
their observation-disclosures they have
been pretty bold, and apparently
oblvious of the fact that officers of
the law exist. This paper has point
eddy called attention to these gentry
en- more than one occasion, and it is
generally understood that they have
a place Of business on South Florida
avenue and another in the northwest
part Of the city. Just what remedy
can be applied we are at loss to
determine. Judge Blanton suggests
the ministers and the merchants as
the proper agents to break up these
operations, but we do not see exactly
how they are to proceed. However
the tourists will be leaving us ere
long, and this bunch will go will
them.
