FIRST COMPANY D BOY
TO b WOUNDED
IN FRANCE IS
ERNEST CARDWfLl

The first member of Company D
to be wounded in France is Ernest
Cardwell, son of Mr.. George Card
well, of the Lake Hollingsworth neigh
borhood.
The information came in a letter
from the young man, written by a
friend but signed by him, in which
he stated he had been shot and
wounded and was then in a hospital
He was some better than he had been,
however, there were no particulars as
to the extent of his injuries. No no.
tification has been received by his
parents from army headquarters, and
it is hoped that this is a good indi
cation that his wounds are not seri-
Gus.
Young Cardwell enlisted in Com
pany D just before the company left
for Camp Wheeler, before which tim
| he was employed on the farm Of DR..
IS. H. Sylvester southeast of town.
He has many friends in Lakeland who
will earnestly look for encouraging
news from his bedside.

ROtarianS Donate
Lakeland's Quota of
Y. N. C. A. Camp
Extension Fund

Proving its patriotism by its works
the Rotary Club today attested its in
terest in the welfare of the men who
are giving their all in defense of their
country, by subscribing the whole OF
Lakeland's quota-three hundred dol
lars-for the extension work of the
Y. M. G. A. training camp.
Capt. George M. Lynch who spoke
in the Park few nights ago, has been
making a tour of the State in the in
terest of this work, and the Rotarians
took the matter up at their luncheon
today. A definite amount from each
community is asked to carry out the
Y. M. G. A. plans in this respect. and
Lakelands quota was placed at $500.
Instead of soliciting contributions for
this purpose, the Rotarians pledged
themselves to take care of the entire
assessment, each of the members
approximately fifty-contributing Sc.
The program today was in charge
of Mr., f. W, Rugg, chairman of the
entertainment committee for the oc-
casiOn, The principal topic for dis
cussion related to how business has
been affected by war conditions, and
how these conditions could be COPIED
with and a number of ROtarians were
asked to give their experience along
these lines The general tenor of the
responses showed that for the most
part every business had been rather
unfavOrably affected, but there was,
Notwithstanding note of cheerful
ness and optimism in the expressions,
indicating a willingness to accept any
condition made necessary to promote
the success Of the war.
President Chase called attention to
the approaching Fourth Liberty Loan,
and urged the cooperation Of the
Club in assisting in raising Lakeland's
quota. Responding to this call the
Rotarians passed resolution pledg-
irg each member to give one day out
of each of the three weeks of the CAM
paign to active work in behalf Of the
Liberty Loan.
The Club had as its guest DR.. W.
r. Grower, captain in the Medical
Corps, IT, S. A., who gave most in
teresting talk on conditions at the
camp, sanitation, the care of the men,
ETC., which was much appreciated.
The luncheon was held at Ruther-
ford's, where a most satisfactory meal
was enjoyed, both as regards food and
service

We can be thankful that we are

while, believe me.

when we sighted a torpedo coming to

Funds Asked For
COlOrs For The
l24th Infantry
Tampa, Florida, Aug. %, 1918

Lakeland, Fla.
Dear Sir:-The attention OF the UNI
dersigned committee has been called |
to the fact that the 12lIh Infantry |
(the old End Florida) has at this time |
no colors. On a recent visit to Camp |
Wheeler, by a member of this COM
mittee, division parade was held by
all the regiments, and it was noticed
by this gentleman that the Florida
regiment carried no cOlors, while tv-
cry other regiment had theirs. Upon
inquiry, he was given the information
by the colonel in charge that the
l24th, SO far as he knew, was the
only regiment that had not been pre-
scented with a standard of colors by
the state or body of citizens IRON
the state, from which the regiment
came.
We believe that you viii! agree with
us that this is an unintentional over
sight and that we wish the regiment
tc carry flag to be presented to them
by the citizens of the different towns
from which the regiment came. There
are twelve companies in this regi-
ment. They come from Key West,
Miami, Orlando, West Palm Beach,
Kissimmee, Ocala, Lakeland, Plant
CITY. Wauchula, Arcadia and two from
Tampa. The committee believes that
all that will be necessary will be to
call the attention OF the mayors OF
the different towns to the situation
and ask that they mail check for
$40 to l.. p. Dickie, secretary OF The
Tampa Board of Trade, who will
acknowledge receipt of same.
The colors will consist of the regu'
lation infantry flag and the regulation
limited States flag, same to be OF the
best quality and workmanship. They
have been ordered from one Of the
largest flag houses In the country
The exact cost cannot be given at thi'
time. as we have not received a bill
but we understand that the color'
presented to the Georgia, Alabama
and South Carolina regiments, cos
about $500 for the two.
/ The 124th expects to leave for tn
other side within the next ten days
} so that It will be necessary for YOU
| to give this matter your prompt al
, tention. The chairman OF this com
mittee will be glad to give you an!
information you desire, and we arr
, taking the liberty of writing to you
as the committee believes 1t VIII 81
the desire of every town which ha
, sent a company, to give their pr
, rata of cost of the standards, AM
which will be presented to the regi
J ment in their name. These color
\ will be carried by them while abroad
s and upon their return, will pc depos

! fact that this matter should be giyel
