The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1918-04-16

The Miami Herald wants a conven-
ton or gathering of Democrats to
define Democratic principles and in.
dictate proper party action. At any
rate, we believe that some Democrat
ic authority should bar Republicans
from being candidates In Democratic
primaries-a condition which exists
in Polk county today.

South Paris Savings Bank.

The annual meeting of the South Paris
Savings Bank corporation was held at
the banking rooms Thursday afternoon.
A fact worthy Of mention In this con-
nection is that no vacancy in the corpora
ton has occurred during the year,

small decrease from last year, undonbt-
eddy due to extensive buying Of Liberty

fell of SIS, 6l0. "a, but since the close OF
the second loan they have increased
81, 1872 21. The reserve fund and profits
are now $S5, 1910, an increase during
the year of IS, 6S7 IS, giving the bank an
even better financial showing than be-
fore. The number Of new accounts

These men will leave South Paris on
the 9:36 train, In the forenoon of Tues
day, April 2, for Camp Devens, Mass.
They should be given evidence Of the
appreciation of the people of the county
for the service that they are rendering.
There 10 perhaps no better way to elab-
crate this suggestion than to give the
words of . letter to this paper from the
Oxford County exemption board:
"These men are the fret to be sent
from this county under the draft and
deserve equal honors with men who
have voluntarily enlisted, inasmuoh as
the government has committed itself TO
the policy Of CONSUMPTION. In fact
many of our drafted men have earnestly,
but futilely sought TO be voluntarily In
Quoted into the military or naval service
Of the United States, only to be passed
as ht for service under the draft. This
however, 10 not to be construed ~ .
criticism Of the government, for any
prudent man will admit that the need
Of the government for men is vastly
more pressing than 1t was some months
ago.
1.-THE people of the county should give
these men royal send of, either by
means of useful gifts or by their pres
snce at the entrsinment Of these men
On the morning Of April End at South
Paris.
"Thsy are entitled to some such
patriotic demonstration, and Its moral
sffect now and hereafter would be i'm
nense."
