MOtOrcade In
Celebration OF
Completion OF
Folks Good Road
Is Planned

Securing proper credit for Lakeland
for subscriptions made by Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad employees to the
Fourth Liberty Loan;
The making of a triumphal motor
cade over the system of Polk county
good roads, celebrating the compile
ton of the system, stimulating a
friendly feeling toward Lakeland on
the part of the people Of the county
and inviting trade to the city;
Requesting the operation of indus
trial plants in the city to sound their
whistles at the noon hour, in order
to impress the public, and especially
strangers with the number and extent
of these industrial enterprises.
The foregoing were the three prin-
cipal matters disposed of by the bust
men of Lakeland at the luncheon of
the Membership Council of the Cham
Der of Commerce at noon today. All
are matters of considerable import
ance, having a bearing on the general
welfare.
In the preceding Liberty Loan
drives heavy subscriptions of railroad
men, residents of Lakeland, aggregat-
ing large sums, were credited to Will
m!ngton or other cities where the A.
G L. has general offices, thereby de-
priving Lakeland of the credit for
these subscriptions, and making It
more difficult to reach her quota.
Steps are being taken to prevent Il
recurrence of this injustice as re-
CARDS subscriptions to the Fourth Lib
erty loan, the matter being taken up
with the authorities.
The motorcade proposed is pleas
ant and appropriate method of cele-
brating the completion of our magnifi'
cent ROAD system. ms matter was
placed in the hands Of the publicity
committee to work out the details,
which will be announced as thew de-
velop.
In addition to these matters num-
Der of other good and pertinent sug-
eestions were offered and discussed
and a very pleasant and harmonious
hour was passed in these plans for
community betterment, following the
enjoyment Of an excellent luncheon al

War Savings
Notes

While Lakeland answered the call
during the June campaign and rolled
up purchases and pledges to the total
of 105,S04,25, this left us still nearly
$4,000 short Of the quota.
Lakeland has met every obligation,
Sc far, by full subscription and
patriotic leap over the top. We must
meet this obligation and that we do
so take time by the forelock. As this
Is more than anything Savings Cam
paign, there must be time allowed in
which to save.
We are now about Al per cent be-
hind our quota on purchases and
pledges to purchase, which pledges
cover the period from now until the
last day of the present year.
The National Committee have ap-
pointed the week of Sept. ola as
period in which to make an intensive
drive and finish up what has been SO
we'll done so far
Lakeland must periodically Join In
this movement and we must all do our
best.
There are many ways in which the
remainder Of the quota can be Sc
cured. If the owners of the hundreds
of cars in Lakeland would agree to
purchase just one more stamp during
each of the next four months, this
would mean splendid contribution
to the balance due on the quota and
would only amount to one dollar per
Sunday, very low average cost of
using their automobiles on that day
now discountenanced by the Fuel Adj
ministration and thus doing two big
things at once, viz. periodically re-
spending to the plan for conservation
Of fuel and at the same time just as
periodically responding to the call to
save money.
Procrastination at this time will not
help the War Savings Campaign and
1t is hoped and expected that during
\ the next week the whole community
will unite in completing the pledge for
Lakelands quota.

LAKELAND SCHOOLS
OPENED TODAY
With LARGE
ATTENDANCE

vs.
Another successful school year was
launched this morning, when with a
full attendance and a fine faculty Of
teachers the Lakeland Public Schools
made an suspicious start. While it
has not been possible to arrive at the
opening attendance, it is up to the
average and considerably larger than
was expected, especially in the High
School, which it was feared might
be somewhat affected by war condi-
tons. On the contrary, however, the
High School attendance is larger
than at any previous opening.
The opening exercises this morning
were shorter and simpler than on
previous occasions. Heretofore it
has been the custom to have several
speakers among the ministers, pro
fessional men and friends of the
school, to make addresses, and the
exercises, and he made very earnest
a degree that sometimes approached
discomfort. On this occasion there
was but one speaker, Rev. l.. d.
Lowe, and others will be given an OPP
portunity to address the pupils from
time to time during the school year
Rev. Lowe conducted the devotional
exercises, and he made very earnest
and effective talk to the students, i'm

MAKES GOOD RECORD
All Ninth District States Win
Honor Flags.
Every County Is Entitled to An En-
bIem and Also Nearly Every City.
Village aud township.

Minneapolis, May 2.--The Ninth
Federal Reserve district is believed
TO have made records in Liberty Loan
drive uneQualled anywhere in the
country Here they are:
Every one of the six states in
the district has earned the right
to an honor flag denoting over
subscription.
Every county in each of the
six states has earned the same
right.
Nearly every city, village and
township in the six states will
have earned the right to the hon
or flag when the reports are all
in, it is believed.
Orders for 5000 honor flags have
already been sent to Washington. 1t
is believed by those in charge that
they will all be used.
Sufficient official reports are at
hand to make definite allotments of
the honor flags to all the states. Min
nesota, Montana, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Wisconsin and Michigan are
all entitled to state flags.
The unofficial figures indicated
that every single county was coming
through with a clean record. The
official reports ON the counties in the
six states showed oversubscriptions
as follows: Minnesota, Sc; Montana,
A; North Dakota, 3d.; South DAKOTA,
SO; Wisconsin, OF; Michigan, 10. Cit
les, villages and towns in the various
states have been allotted flags as
follows: Minnesota, 923; Montana,
176; North Dakota, S7A; South Da-
kota, $50; Wisconsin, 122; Michigan,
10.
AS the official reports come in the
number of the cities, villages and
towns entitled to honor flags will con
tinue to grow, in the opinion of those
in charge.
