WRITE CITIZENS ASKED TO
ATTEND COLORED MASS MEETING

State Director Griggs has asked
Chairman Holworthy to interest as
many of the white people as possible
to attend the meeting to be held in
the colored school house at More
head tomorrow (Friday) night. This
meeting is to be- addressed by William
Harrison, a prominent negro lawyer
who has been authorized by the gov
eminent to talk to the people of his
race with regard to the war and their
opportunity and duty to stand patri-
otically behind the country in all
that is necessary for the whole peo-
pie to do.
In Jacksonville the other day when
Harrison made a similar address
some of the most prominent white
citizens occupied places on the plat
form and were greatly impressed
with the splendid spirit of patriotism
he is trying to arouse in his own race
10 their obligation in this war.
Judge Griggs trusts that at least a
number of Lakeland's representative
citizens will lend their presence al
the meeting to encourage this mar

WAR SAVINGS BULLETIN

For the information and encourage
ment of the teachers and pupils OF the
Lakeland schools the following infor-
nation is published as showing what
can be accomplished by team Work:
Superintendent r. M. Seeley, of the
Tallahassee public schools, makes the
following interesting report of his
work:
Because of the term examinations
coming just after the Christmas holt
days with us and because of the late
ness in receiving the printed matter
necessary for use among teachers and
pupils, we found it inadvisable to at
tempt anything along the line OF a
campaign before the first Of this
month, The school week Of February
4th to Sth, accordingly, was designat-
ed by me as Thrift Week in the
schools and every teacher made a
special effort to acquaint the pupils
with the governments plan and to
encourage their buying Stamps with
their savings or earnings When any
room had among its enrolment pure
chasers of War Savings Stamps to the
extent of twenty per cent of the en-
rollment, small flag was given to
that room for display in the window
as a service flag" Then for each
additional thrift stamp bought with
the earnings or savings of the pupil,
a small flag Ia sticker) is given to be
pasted on paper and displayed in the
window under the larger flag. This
plan worked wonders, with the result
that 1918 thrift stamps were bought
BY the pupils during the first six days
of the campaign At the end of the
second week more than 1900 stamps
had been bought, and they are still
being bought.

CAUTION TO SHIPPERS
Jacksonville Times-Union)

All the railroads Of the country
have been notified that shipments
imperfectly marked must be refused
The railroads have often instructed
their agents to observe this rule pu'
husiness was lost by a rigid obser-
vanca and if reasonable under
stonding could be reached delivery
was attempted-such looseness is
now forbidden by the national controi
of transportation because delays ana
failures are Observation-Disclosures are
warned to see that their packages are
properly protected and that the d.
rections are plain, giving precise IN
formation to facilitate delivery.
For instance-a shipment to Jack
sonyiYe is marked to Tampa to be
forwarded-at some junction the
original direction is exposed and the
packet is returned moral: mark out
the old direction carefully before
writing on the new. A telephone
message may be sent to the proper
official of road directing that freight
received by the steamer be forward
ed to another destination; suppose
the Grating has been broken by acci-
dent in transit? The road cannot re-
ceive it and the owner must receive
it from the steamer warehouse, re-
store the covering and deliver it to
the road.
Shippers of fruits are particularly
interested in the enforcement of the
rule. A crate of vegetables or fruit
with imperfect directions will be re-
tanned from shipment; heretofore the
road remarked the package in &C
cordance with the bill or after the
other cases in the same shipment but
this is now forbidden. Delays have
often occurred in the shipment of per-
ishable products for which the roads
were held responsible at least
some instances this was the fault Of
the shipper whose marks could MOI
be deciphered. Notices of freight ar
rivals sent out by the roads through
the postoffice have been returned
when addressed to names in the cit,
directory; the roads will now plac'
local postage on these and then tn
!, return will entail punishment unles

That this education may apply wit

sary that shippers accept the war;

A most wise judge up in Newark,
N. j., found poor unfortunate guilty
of assault and battery because he had
forcibly kissed his wife (the unfortu-
mates, not the judge's.) This is an
unusual crime, and its prompt punish
ment will doubtless tend to prevent
its spread. We would suggest as a
sentence that he be made to kiss his
wife a dozen times day for six
months.
