CARNIVAL is PLACE TO
STUDY HUMAN NATURE

An interesting study in psychology
is afforded to the amateur student or
the professional Investigator of "Whv
people do certain things in the indi-
viduals who attend carnivals by the
millions every year Every carnival
eoer has his own particular reason
for liking this or that particular at
traction on the big Midway, as adver-
tised by the pictorial posters. It is an
interesting study, say college profess
ors, learned men in the ways of the
genus homo. You, the reader can
try your hand at psychology and yon
will be surprised at the scope of your
powers to find out things for your
self. Ask the first man you meet, the
man who has announced his inten-
ton of attending the carnival-ask
hin suddenly-"Why do you go to the
carnival" 1t is ten to one shot that
he will answer, ooh, just to see the
! ponies" then he will probably blush
and stammer something about likine
the other attractions, too, hut you can
rest assured that way down in his
Dig honest heart he meant exactly
what he said the first time and there
are tens OF thousands of his tyne who
go to the carnival to see the ponies
so today we find the Elks' Carnival
featuring one of the best pony shows
in the circus world, some IA hand
some little equine actors that arr
trained to the highest degree of HUI,
man intelligence, presenting 10 acts
and as an added feature, two of thu
worlds greatest animal performers
namely Diamond, the horse contor
tietist, and Ruby, the Charlie Chap
lin mule, in one hour of bewiderine
Wonderment-novelty heaped upor

intermingled with the startling anf

The direct results of advertising
Lakeland in various Northern papers,
as checked up by the Chamber of
Commerce, were so gratifying that
the Thomas Advertising Agency, of
Jacksonville, through whom the ad-
vertising was placed, published large
display advertisements of these re-
suits in several large newspapers.
Thus Lakeland got some more good
publicity, without cost. The tourists
you see thronging our streets didn't
"just happen" to come here. For the
most part they were brought here by
live Chamber of Commerce, which
demonstrates every day in innumer
able ways, that it is worth to Lake.

203 Masonic Temple: Phone 1881
Chicago, Jan. s.-Corn-The weather
forecast was not favorable for the
movement of corn, but the cash de-
mand was poor and prices in the
sample market sagged. The feeling
persisted that peace negotiations had
at least made a fair start, and buying
spirit, therefore, was withdrawn from
the grain markets now open. The edge
appears to be off the market, at least
for the time being.
Oats-President Wilson's address to
congress Is believed to be step IN
the direction of peace. When 1t be-
came known that the message was to
be delivered today, there was constant
pressure on the oats market, which re-
sisted stubbornly, but closed around
inside figures at good decline.
Stocks-Stocks were irregular, re-
fecting the varied effect Of peace ru
mors on the lines Of different specula-
tive interests. At first the tendency
was higher, but later in the day sales
offset the early gains. The decline
which has occurred since our entry in
to the war has discounted practically
every contingency which Is likely to
arise, and many Of the strongest con-
Germs whose securities are dealt In on
exchanges are In a position to earn
handsome returns on invested capital.

NO PAY FOR GERMANS.
interned Officers IN United States e
Get No More Financial Aid.

Minneapolis. Jan. S.--Pay allowances
| to informed German Officers held In the
United States have been stopped since
Dec. Is. according to a letter received
by Secretary Howard Strong Of the
| Minneapolis Civic and Commercial AS
| ISOLATION from the state department at
Washington. Allowances ceased, 1t Is
explained because the imperial German
! government failed to respond to an in
quiry from the United States regarding
the pay allowances made to American
officers informed in Germany.
German officers were getting money
allowances equal to the pay receivedby
American officers of equal rank. This
was under an agreement sanctioned by
the Hague conventions. Under this
plan. however, the German government
at the end of the war would have to
assume the obligation and refund to
this country the money paid to German
officers.
The pay is several times greater than
that German officers received from
their own country. and there has been
much criticism aaginst this featuye.
The matter was brought up last month
in the Commercial association by J.
E. Meyers. He contended that Ger
many has not been living up to the
Hague agreements in other respects.
and therefore there was no obligation
on the United States to observe it in
this case.
1t was finally voted to send an in
quiry to the state department, and the
letter received by Mr.. Strong is the
result.
The letter said that the state depart
ment proposed to Germany a change In
the basis Of pay. which would relieve
the German government OF paying It's
informed officers on American rates. II
proposed instead to pay them the reg
ular rate of pa5 given by Germany 70
its officers on foreign service. the
letter requested information as to what
Germany is doing with regard to pay
for American Officers i"terned there.
1t announced that unless some ansVe4
was received by Dec. ~ this govern
ment would cease to make any pay
allowances to German officers.
No answer has been received the let
ter states, and the state department
has so informed the war department.
which has taken steps to stop the
further allowance Of pay to the IN
termed officers.

SKY PRICE FOB HOLDING CARS
MeAdoo Issues Drastic Demurrase Or
IL. ~ Break lam Of Freight.

der TO Break Jam Of Freight.
washington, Jana S.-After a weeks
futile effort to break the jam OF con-
gested freight In the east, the gov
eminent announced last night prac-
tically prohibitive demurrage charges
as penalties for holding loaded freight
cars.
Director General of Railroads Nc
Adoo caused the interstate commerce
commission to issue scale OF demur-
rage charges. effective Jan. Il. running
I'D to $40 a day on the eighth day ano
thereafter that freight car Is held
by the consignee. q
BY this means the director general
hopes to force the release OF thous-
ands Of freight cars and obtain more
liquid freight transportation.
The new demurrage rates, approved
by the interstate commerce commits
sion on request OF the director general
are SO per car for the first day after
the two free days; "a for the second
day, and 81 additional for each sue
ceeding day until the charge per day
reaches SO. This maximum then will
be charged for every day or fraction
thereafter.
Existing demurrase rates in most
sections Of the country are 81 for the
first day after the two days free time,
81 for the second day. 50 for the third
day, 50 for the fourth day, and fo'
each day thereafter. Even these rates
are several times higher than those
which prevailed a year ago and which
were raised last spring when conges-
ton on eastern railroads became acute
Much higher rates are charged on the
Pacific coast and in several other dis
tricts.
No changes will be made for the
present in demurrage rules or rates on
export freight. The new regulations
Mr.. McAdoo's order said, specifically
contemplate the cancellation OF all ay.
erage agreement provisions Of existing
tariffs" Railroads are instructed to file
tariffs embodying the new rates will
