HELP YOURSELF STORE
is PROVING POPULAR

The opening of the Help Yourself
Shoe Store" on the clerkless, Cafe
terra style, by Mr.. Straw, met with
popular public approval from the time
the doors were opened Saturday morn

That the plan will prove success
full is evidenced by the large number
taking advantage of it and everybody
commenting upon the good quality
and low prices.
Saturday night it would have taken
dozen clerks to have handled the
crowd in the regular way but all GUS

Thirty pounds of tinfoil was the
SPLENDID donation presented to the
Red Cross rooms this afternoon by
three young boys-Alvin, Johnny and
William Broadhurst. This represents
much solicitation and work, and when
children can go to this much work
and trouble, every woman in Lakeland
able bodied enough to use a needle,
and who has even an hour to spare
should put that time in either at the
Red Cross rooms or at home, in doing
some real effective war work.

REPORT OF THE JUNE
WAR SAVINGS STAMP DRIVE
IN POLK COUNTY

The Chairman of the Polk County
War Savings Committee, r. b. HUI
faker, reports that the June W. s. s.
drive was not successful in raising
Polk County's quota of w. S. s., but
that nevertheless a fairly good
showing was made.
This drive was carried on largely
by the aid of the school trustees. In
nearly every instance the trustees
have shown themselves to be loyal
and patriotic in the highest degree,
This campaign has uncovered
good many slackers and misers. They
can't trust the Government with
their money and for all such the 10y
al citizens everywhere have a SUI
preme contempt. If such people
won't listen to reason, the Govern
ment ought to devise a way to
squeeze the money out Of them, for
why should our Government be a
greater respecter of money than OF
human lives?
To all the patriotic workers who
have given their time so freely to
this great work. the Chairman ex
tends his thanks. think nearly ev
cry one of us can say that we have
done our best.
Reports from most of the districts
have been received, and the reports
show that not many Of the districts
have reached their quota. 1t is hoped
that these districts that have no
reached their quota will keep up thu
work until their quota has beef
reached. If any workers need pledg
orders they have only to call on tn
Chairman and he will send the need
ed supply.

standing of each district, follow:
