Barlow had big day with the
Shriners, but Lakeland Elks say that
occasion will not be patching" to

thousand population.
Preliminary to the initiation cere-
monial, which will occur at night
there will be a mammoth parade in
the afternoon, which will be full OF
interest and amusement. Visitors
from all over the State will be in at
tendance and the occasion will be an
event not only for the Elks but for
Lakeland and Polk couIty.
The big drive for membership
comes to a close next Thursday, and
prospects" who have been hesitating
should not delay longer but should
take this opportunity to enter this
great Order on an occasion when

ter's, and a long and tedious detour
through the Combie settlement will
have to be made.
Only about two miles of the entire
road now lacks completion, this be-
ing the two miles through the
swamps just beyond Carriers. At this
point, owing to the character of the
country, no convenient detour is pos
sible, and one must travel at least
four miles, over pretty bad road,
to get back into the main highway
Work has been completed on both
sides of this stretch, so that there
would be as little interruption OF
traffic as possible.
If weather conditions are favorable
the road will be completed in two
weeks, and one may then travel from

RYE FLOUR TO

UNTIL JUNE |

Some of our merchants, anxious to
be absolutely loyal in carrying out
the regulations, have perhaps over
looked bulletin recently issued re-
garding the use of rye -four as sub.
stitute.
The general order regarding sub
stitutes does not include rye among
the substitutes, but owing to the fact
that there is in this territory larger
supply of rye -four than usual, the
time has been extended whereby rye
-four can be used as substitute in
Florida until June l. 1918. Dealers are
requested to aid, therefore, in reduc-
ing stock on hand quickly as no fur
Their extension of time is to be al
lowed.

One of the big events that the Home
Guarder is looking forward to is the
first time he fires his Springfield rife.
There seems to be decided element
d uncertainty as to what will happen
when the trigger is pulled. There's
an impression that it's about fifty
fifty whether a man be in front or be-
hind the gun.--Lakeland Telegram.
The black powder Springfield has
about the same recoil as a 12-bore
shotgun. If the Home Guarder holds
it properly it won't kick him at ALL
