DEFEAT FOE FIRST, US.
STAND ON PEACE UNION
Cannot Discuss League of Ma
tions With Huns, Is Gov
ernment View
Washington, March II.

The Government, though fayoring a
league to enforce peace, is cold toward
discussion of the proposal at this time
This was authoritativcly stated today
in the wake of talk about the plan both
in the House of Lords in England and
in the United States Senate. 1t was
pointed out that the discussion now
would serve no good purposes in view
of the fact that the chance for organic
ing such a league now appears remote.
Discussion now would tend toward
useless peace talk, it was expected. and
the Government is anxious that all
American thought should be ccntered
now on the single task of winning the
war
The Government is now convinced
that no peace is possible by negotiation
with the ruthless looters of Russia and
Rumania, and thinks that until Teuton
militarism has been given a death blow
a league to enforce peace is only q
theory. The best way TO make a basis
for such a league is not by talk but by
war actions, officials say.

RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY

Whereas, our Heavenly Father, has
called from our midst, whether in
Sunday school or home, one of our
most beloved classmates and friends,
Willie L. Turner whose kind, gentle
and loving disposition won the hearts
of all who knew her,
Therefore be it resolved that we as
Sunday school mourn the loss OF
one so dear to us and that all feel
that the beautiful gate was left ajar
for her entrance into the Heavenly
Home; therefore, we extend our
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
husband and relatives.
We express our hope that even sc
great a loss to us all will be over
ruled for good by him who doeth al
things we'll.
One by one earth's ties are broken,
As we see our love decay;
And our hopes so fondly cherished
Brighten but to pass away.
One by one our hopes grow brighter
As we near the shining short;
For we know across the river
Wait the loved ones gone before.

THE FLORIDA GROWER
TELLING SOME TALES ON
OUR Mr.. WtHDlER

The following taken from the last
issue of the Florida Grower will be
Of interest to Lakeland people, as it
concerns J. H. Wendler, a former
aforementioned resident Of this
icity:
Readers of the Grower throughout
the State, and poultrymen generally,
will welcome the good news of the
complete overthrow of the .Wendler
forces at the recent meeting OF the
State branch of the American Poul-
try Association, held at Orlando, in
connection with the Mid-Winter Fair.
1t will be recalled that this man
was charged by the officers and the
members of the Tampa Poultry Asso-
citation some years ago, as being short
in his accounts. Exhibitors who had
wor premium money complained bit
terly at the treatment accorded them,
some stating that their goods were ac-
tuslly stolen, and for several years
after this episode, this initiated
against the subsequent exhibitions
held here, as the fanciers Of the coun-
try were informed that this man was
still working the game here.
For reasons that we are unable to
explain, this fellow was permitted to
have his way in Orlando and some
other points. where he conducted
their annual shows, Notwithstanding
tie protests of honest people who re
fused to show at any place where he
had any actual connection. His grow
ing belief in the impossibility in head
i'm, him off evidently turned his head
and from what has been said and
written by those who attended this
last meeting, he proposed to run
rough shod over those who attended
the meeting, and who had proxies
from other members of the A. P. A
who could not attend.

Jacksonville Poultry Association
writes me as follows:

One of our old friends who has
been coming regularly for several
years was in this morning asking us
to warn those inclined to become
restless by the warm weather Of the
past few weeks and to remind them
that it was for this experience they
came south, but that on no account
should they think Of returning north
for several weeks to come. The germs
of colds, lagrippe and other regular
winter visitors at the north will be as
anxious to find some of this mater
ial, which has been made soft and
easily approachable for their pur-
pose, to work on,-as the mosquitoes
wherever they are pest, land this not
in Lakeland) in warmer climates look
out for the blood of the visitor from
cooler climes. Almost every year
we are saddened by the news of the
death of one or more of our winter
visitors who left just a little too soon,
ran into some bad weather on the
way up or afer reaching home, took
sick and died Our old friend says
that he has made himself perfectly
comfortable here until May and that
by that time he and his good wife are
going to decide whether or not to
spend the summer here. Their two
boys are in training and they have
nothing which really calls for their
return. Delighted with the winter
climate of Florida they seem to be
from Missouri as to the summer eli
mate, We are working hard for ar
opportunity to show them.
