The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1918-01-26

Justifiable criticism is never out OF
place, and as much as we would like
to claim perfection for our city, now
and then some condition is called to
our attention which we are forced to
concede is by no means ideal. For
instance, the observations of visi-
tor printed in this paper today, con-
corning the maintenance of cattle
pen in the city, in the vicinity of one
of our most beautiful lakes, are not
to be classed with impertinent or I'M
called-for complaint The writer has
often thought he would like to keep
q cow-just one cow-but he has not
done so because he considered that
1t might not be agreeable to his
neighbors. Reasoning along the same
lines, he believes that a pen enclos-
ing twenty or thirty head of cattle
should not be allowed within the city
limits. This matter was taken up at
the last meeting Of the city commits
sioners, and we understand some ac-
ton to abate the nuisance was au-
thorized. We do not know whose
cattle these are, or on whose prem
Uses this pen is located. These things
do not matter; what is important is
that our residents should not be an
noyed or our visitors disguised with
such an Objectionable and unsanitary
feature. Let us, above all things,
keep a clean, healthy, sanitary town.

Chas. Allen and his Musical Come
dy Co., have been entertaining thea
TRIGGERS the past two nights at the
Casino, and they put on real good
show. Last night they played to a
crowded house, giving an hour and a
half of amusement which gave salts
faction to audience, and as tonight
will be the last performance of this
engagement, it will no doubt be nee
essary to go early for seats, as they
change their program each night, and
tonight they promise something real
classy. The company comprises a
bunch of pretty girls and good COM

GRAZING WHITE HOUSE LAWN
President Wilson Sets Example Which Might Be Followed by Owners

Prepared by the United States Depart.
 ment of Agriculture)
 When flock of sheep appeared not long ago on the green sward of the White House grounds, desire to match the President" in helping to increase the country's mutton and wool supply was manifested by many per sons whose responsibility covered big lawns, golf courses and city parks. Many public parks, golf courses, and private lawns in the country may be so situated that they can profitably be made to serve as grazing grounds for sheep. It is believed that their use for grazing sheep would have not only n sentimental value but a practical one. But owners and persons charged with the care of such property are advised to investigate the matter thoroughly before they embark in the enterprise of raising sheep. Sheep raising in- wolves much more than placing the an- imals in good pasture. It has it's technical side, and at present, when ev- cry pound of wool and every pound of meat is needed. it is felt that experi- ence bought at the price of either wool

CARE ABOUT WATER TROUGHS
Puddle Around Watering Place Is Dis agreeable to Sight and Smell--
 Also Breeds Flies.

There is no need to run so much wa ter into the watering trough that it slops over and forms puddle all about the trough. Under the constant tramping of animals 1t Is not long be- fore the surroundings assume the con sistency of thin porridge. This Is not only disagreeable to sight and smell but 1t shows slight consideration for sanitation. Flies in large numbers are to be seen about such place. A few hours later they may be inspect ing the food on one's table. Be it re- membered that liquid filth is always source of more danger to human health than where 1t is bone dry.
