The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1918-10-10
LARGE CROWD heard
SPLENDID LIBERTY
LOAN ADDRESSES


Lakeland people we're given a
great oratorical treat last night whom
two remarkably fine speakers trav.
cling under the direction of the Fed
eral government, delivered magnif-
cent addresses to large audience in
the Park.
One of the speakers was Miss
Katherine Ridgeway, a very talented
lady, formerly on the Chautauqua
platform, but who placed her talents
at the disposal of the government
during almost year past. She was
accompanied by Major Lowery, a
Canadian officer, who saw three and
a half-year's active service, was
gassed in action, and was invaded
home. Together they present the
the Liberty Loan argument in such
unanswerable terms that any one
hearing them can have no vestige Of
doubt as to his duty in this respect.
The speakers are touring the State
under the auspices of the Woman's
Liberty Loan Committee, and the
State Chairman of the organization,
Mrs. W. S. Jennings, of Jacksonville,
wife of ex-Gov. w. S. Jennings, ac-
companied them here Mrs. Elmer
Warn. of Barlow, County Chairman
was also with the party; while the
arrangements here were in charge of
Mrs. ]. B. Hannah Local Chairman
of the Woman's Liberty Loan Com
mittee. The latter opened the meet
ing and in her usual graceful man
ner introduced Mrs. Jennings, who
made brief talk, explaining the part
the women are taking in the work,
and she, in turn, then introduced
Miss Ridgeway.
The latter is a finished elocutionist
having voice of much power and
range, splendidly modulated, and her
delivery was very graceful and i'm
pressive. Aside from this, however,
the matter of her speech was very
forceful and inspiring. She coun-
selled against paying too much at
tention to peace talk at this time and
said that our victories should not
make us too optimistic; we are still
some 200 miles from the Rhine, and
it's long ways to Berlin. She re.
cited beautiful poem consecrating
the service flag; urged the people to
support the government, and back up
the boys in the trenches-to sacrifice
and to give.
Major Lowery followed in an I'M
passioned address, which brought
vividly before his audience the scenes
hc had witnessed during his service;
the sufferings and discomforts of the
soldiers, the waiting and suspense OF
the hours preceding the going over
the top; the final charge over Nc
Mans Land the hunt for the Huns II
the trenches, the demoniac fighting
that follows, the capture of the Ger.
; man prisoners, and many more Incl
dents depicted with eloquence and
passion, but without egotism II
is seldom that any speaker is accord
ed such breathless attention as was
given to Major Lowery.
At the conclusion of the speaking
a call for volunteer subscriptions was
$ made and several thousand dollars
worth of bonds were sold, list q
! which appears in this paper. Major
( Lowery worked actively with the com
a mittee in securing the subscriptions

PLANT FOR VICTORY"
is HSOVEH'S WAR CRY
T6 SUGAR BEET men


Colorado is up. to bat again.
This time the state is facing a
shortage in the production of sug-
ar beets, and unless she hits the
ball by planting larger sugar
beet acreage than ever before Vic
tory will swing in the balance
with Defeat.
The price paid the growers last year
for sugar beets was s725 ton. This
year federal food commission com
posed of representative growers and
manufacturers made flat rate of $40
ton. This rate was decided upon.
not to increase the price of sugar to
the consumer or to enrich the grower
but to encourage the planting of sugar
beets and decrease the danger OF
sugar shortage In 1919.
The Importance of increasing Colo
radios sugar beet production during
the coming year was emphasized by
a telegram received by the Colorado
Food Administration April IL. from
Herbert Hoover. federal food admins
TRAITOR
The telegram read in part:
"At the request OF the sugar beet
growers, the Food Administrator,
through the inquiry of various COM
missions undertook to use its best Of
fices to secure q price for beets which
would return fair profit to growers
throughout the beet regions.
THE factories having agreed to pay
the prices recommended and upon .
basis much higher than was before re-
ceived by the growers, and in accord
with the demands of the majority OF
growers / do trust that the growers
will support the nations sugar supply
by enlarged planting.
Our shortage of shipping and the
necessities OF the allies make larger
demands upon our domestic sugar
next year than ever before and. the
maintenance of our own industry Is
primary not only to the well-being OF
the growers but the nation AZ .
whole"
The fact that the land owners in
beet sections receive one-fourth OF the
gross proceeds Of the beet crop. which
on the basis of sixteen-ton yield
would mean $40 per acre. is counted
on to influence landlords to continue
to raising beets.

Pinto Bean Leaves
For Allied Armies

The first shipment of pinto beans
to Americas allies rolled out OF Colo
rado, last Thursday night, and with
its going the first glimpse OF the great
European export market was given to
Colorado pinto growers.
Fifty carloads-4. 100000 pounds OF
beans were ordered from Colorado by
allied governments for immediate use
overseas, and o. II. Liebers, head OF
the bean division of the Colorado
Food Administration, announces that
this order is merely preliminary to
those which will undoubtedly follow.
The British government has already
placed large army orders for canned
pinto beans.
"If Colorado is going to come up to
the demands which these first orders
indicate will be made upon her during
the coming year the 1917 bean acreage
must be greatly increased" Bean Com
missioner Liebers has announced and
added that there was absolutely no
danger Of Colorado having an over
production of pinto beans.
