Lakeland until 1t is tried out" re-
marks the Telegram. mot an elab-
crate affair-merely place where
farmers can back up their wagons
against the curb and let people come
and buy poultry, eggs and butter, veg
etables, fruits and other things" The
Telegram refers to the success made
Of this plan in Sanford and elsewhere
and 1t would seem that it was worth
trying in every town and city. The
scheme requires first, the cooperation
oil the farmers who regularly come to
town with produce, and when they
can be convinced that their gathering
in one place will mean more satisfac-
ton and better sales than by peddling
the stuff about or taking it to the
grocers, who really care very little
about handling it, then there will be
nc trouble to get the market. The
housekeepers would soon understand
the plan, and instead of waiting for
chance visit from a wagon, would
make the effort, go to the designated
place, get fresh, nicely prepared stuff
and everybody would be better salts

On the battle field he lay,
His young life fading fast away;
He had done his duty by his country
dear.
Though he felt his time had come
Thoughts of fear there was not one;
A vision of his mother brought tear.
Mid the roar of shot and shell
He had helped the Sammies give 'em
hell;
His heart had leaped with great big
joyous pride;
Meath the dear old Stars and Stripes
lie had fought with strength and
might
But now he lay weakling midst their
means and signs.
His thoughts began to roam
To the only girl back home;
A fervent prayer he uttered up for
her;
And blessings for his mother,
Father, sisters and his brother;
Then DER his mind there crept cruel
blow.
An angel all in white
Seemed to come from out the night
And knelt beside him, soothed his
aching head;
And the tender touch so sweet
Called him back from that last sleep
Snatched him quivering from the path
which take the dead.
AS he opened wide his eyes
He heard thankful sigh,
And the blood throughout his veins
began to purse.
For the angel of his dreams,
With cosely radiance seemed to bean
And heavenly halo hung around thu
