Wheat Always Preferred Food.

While more people are living in the world today dependent upon rice thfn upon wheat for subsistence and q greater number of the human family live upon millet than rany other cereal food, wheat. is the preferred food among the. higher civilized peoples. The more progressive peoples of the earth have ever, been wheat eaters. Grains of wheat havesbeen discovered in Egyptian tombs of sthe first dynas- ty, dgtfng back 4.oOO B.

The city Commissioners give notice
by an advertisement in today's issue
Of this paper that public meeting
will be held on FRIDAY, April a, at
400 .. m. to discuss o proposed new
charter for the city, and to receive
suggestions as to provisions to be In
corporated In such charter. We are
rather skeptical whether at this late
hour much can be accomplished at
a public meeting in the way OF fram'
Ing as important a document as the
fundamental law of city. 1t Is re-
'erettable that the people have had no
opportunity to analyze and weigh the
changes that are contemplated In this
basic expression of their municipal
government. The only way anything
can be accomplished at public meet
ing will be for those who have ideas
they think should have place in the
charter, to have these ideas framed
in proper verbage so that they can
be considered intellig entity and in
corporated bodily. Vague or tenta
tive suggestions, that have to be
threshed out and put in proper shape
win only take up valuable time with
little hope of their adoption.

NOT CUTTERS

A number of patriotic and unselnsn
gentlemen conceived the idea that :.
would be a fine thing to provide some
kind of memorial for the soldiers and
sailors who served in the late war,
and after considering numerous ideas
and suggestions, decided to follow the
plan adopted in many cities aud APP
proved by the United States govern
ment, of having this memorial take
the form of a Community building.
They were none Of them wealthy
men and all of them were busy men
Nevertheless. they agreed to take
upon. themselves the burdens OF pro
yiding this building, contributing
their own means so far as possible.
and undertaking to raise the remain

items. entertainments and other plans

beautiful and noble building, which
would stand through the years as a
monument to Lakeland's public spirit
and patriotism, and as a memorial to
her heroes, these men desired to turn
over as a. gift to the city Of Lakeland
from her generous and patriotic peo-
pie. They had no selfish purpose, ia
serve, they asked no recognition, or
recomoense; they only asked that
they be permitted to place this build,
