You are my city, city. Lakeland,
And you are dear Dixieland to me
From the long silvery grey
Hanging Spanish moss that sways
From the boughs of the tall liy,

I'm singing a song of my homeland,
To the land of the PALM and tn,
pine.
Its lakes Of mirrored blue,
Its groves of oranges too.
And the climbing, yellow JASMINE
And here mods the scarlet Poinsetta
Caressed by the sun, and dew.
With every wind that blows,
Comes the perfume Of the rose,
You're THE Golden Land oil

Splendid BOYS
CONFERENCE HELD
At WINTER HAVEN

First Annual Convention and Old.
or Boys Conference of the Polk
County's Young Mems Christian As.
ISOLATION was held in the Winter
Haven Baptist church, April 18th,
18th and 14th. There were sixty.nine
registered delegates, and the aggre-
gate attendance of the meeting was
four hundred and fifty.
The Friday night banquet with
about ninety present was de-
cided success. A new committee
was elected, with four or five repre-
sentative men from each town or
city, who met for organization d.
rectly after the banquet, and elected
the following officer: Mr.. Chas. e.
Earnest, Of Barlow, as chairman,
Mr., e. M. Patterson of Lakeland,
vice chairman, Mr.. 8. F. Poole, Of
Winter Haven. secretary, Mr.. Leon
Hebb, Of Barlow, treasurer. Rev. G..
+. Blackburn of Barlow, gave the
principal address of the evening, and
among other things pointed out the
fact that the Government estimates
the economic value of soldier at
81 100000, and that 1t was as import
ant for us to see to It that the pros
pective soldier at home was kept
free from those things which made
him physically unfit as soldier, as
IL was to do the same work for them
after they had enlisted. He said
when we remember that almost one
third Of those who enlist are found
to be physically unfit for service, and
that the soldier has such high value
placed upon him, we can see what
an economic value the Young Mems
Christian Association has at home as
we'll as abroad in maintaining the
morale and high moral standards
among the young men.
Saturday morning the boys met in
conference with Kirby Blain of Lake
land, the new President in the chair,
the program was largely in the hands
OF the boys, with splendid closing
address by Rev. c., l. Stacy.

Lake Alfred while on the return at
Florence Villa, Mr.. Kinsey, President
Of the Board of Trade, had arranged
a surprised for the party at his boat
landing, in the form OF an abundance
Of cookies and grape juice, needless
to say that the boys gave fifteen rahs
for Mr.. Kinsey and the Board of
Trade.
The evening session was opened to
the public, and the crowd was de.
lighted with the debate between the
boys of Lakeland and TT. Meade,
Upon the subject, Resolved that the
giving of time is of greater impor.
.ance than the giving of money in
the present war. The at.
irmative won.
