There need not be any trouble in
figuring out your income tax.
In the first place, II must be worked
out by algebra, astronomy, trignome-

If your income tax is $2,40O a year
and you have diamond ring and an
automobile, and are married to bru-
nette, or blonde, whichever the case
may be, twenty-six years old, you
take the amount of the income and
add your personal property, subtract
your street number, multiply by your
height and your wife's height. and
divide b your telephone number.
If you have one child in the fami-

subtract the size of your collar, add
the child's age, multiply by the
amount you have given the church

If there are two children in the
family, you deduct $4OO from your in

second child, divide by the date of
your birthday, multiply by the size
of your hat, and subtract weight Of

SWATTING THE FLIES
Is A GOOD PROBATION

1. Swatting the flies is a good pre-
caution. We already have the warn
ing on account of the very mild win

fly, will make an early appearance.
So let the thoughtful housewife get
busy and see that the doors and the
windows are nicely screened and also

where in the house. The pests must
be fought to finish il health and
our possessions are to be retained.
The flies are menace to our general
health and the moths are ruin,us to
clothing and other things they regard
as suitable feeding places. In'view Of
the epidemic of the flu some Of us
escaped, It seems sensible to exclude
any possible chance of danger from
such carrier of deadly garms as the
house fly has been proven to be. We
may not of course be able to avoid tn.

severity of the worst winter the
writer ever experienced in his recol

of insect pests; but take vote among

the majority prefer mild weather and

GOOD SHOWING MADE

Mulberries appeared at the curo

snatched up tout coup" by persons
on the alert for something new IN
the way of eats. The berries were
grown by W. S. McClave, who also
displayed at the market fine grape
fruit which he had grown on his ~
acre place in Cocoanut Grove.
The market put up brave front
this morning, and the shoppers woula
never have guessed, from the goods
on display, that the growers mad SUI
fered severely from the recent rains.
But the rain did hurt most OF US
see, that's all the Swiss chard ! mad
left on my place." said Mrs. S. Graen-
icher, pointing to few stems OF the
greens. But Mrs. Graenicher, as u.s.
ual, had a ready market for her sweet
peas. She also always crowds in a
little hand embroidered linen with
her peppers, carrots and flowers.
n Green corn, sold by G. B. Stephens
of Arch Creek, also found a ready
market. Mr.. Stephens put it on sale
for the first time last week, and since
he has two or three acres of corn just
maturing he will probably continue
selling it for some time. He sells a
dozen ears for 40 and SO cents
Two growers put rough lemons on
the market this morning, selling them
for about one cent each. Henry H.
Harrison, who lives just west of Full
ford, also sold grapefruit. John F.
Crabb of Little River said that folks
bought the rough lemons to put in
the city drinking water to kill the
taste, and also to make pies.
Speaking of pies, Mrs. S. F. Pol
lard Of Lemon City brought green to-
matoes to the market for the express
purpose of selling them to people
who like green tomato pies. "They
make dandy pies Mrs. Pollard said,
land they also make good pickles of
course"
Mr.. and Mrs. w. III. Cast, as usual
displaye the finest tomatoes, selling
them for so and IS cents a basket,
Cabbage was sold by Mrs, w. R.
Curry for 10 and S cents a head.

5. The Chamber Of Commerce was
the last of several organizations to
take action looking to securing this
building. 1t has never been deter
mined that the organization should
occupy any part of the building but If
it does it will pay a rental for the
privilege, and this will help maintain
the building The Y. M. G. A., which
heartily approves the project, has al
so indicated that it would be glad to
rent an office in the building. These
rentals would 60 far toward providing

the building and give the information
strangers and visitors would require.
The proposition is absolutely good,
md is the best thing ever offered for
the advancement of Lakeland. This
paper has no interest in the matter
save that of citizen and taxpayer.
We would like to see the building put
on the suggested site because it
would save thousands of dollars that
must otherwise be expended for lot,
and because that is the logical and
natural site. AT the same time, if
some other site is preferred, we ex.
pect to help the proposition just the
same. But we seriously doubt if a
dollars assistance to any alternative
can be counted on from
those who are SO busy knocking this
one.

THESE ARE THE FACTS

There is considerable misunder-
standing about the proposition to put
Soldier and Sailors Memorial in the
Park, in the shape of Community
Building. There has been a constant
and energetic campaign of misrepre.
sentation in the matter by those who
are naturally against BUILDING Of
any character, their sole mission in
life being to tear down.
The principal statements made, by
which it is hoped to mislead those
who may be misinformed, are the
following:
/. To vote forsuch a building in
the Park would be to vote an in.
crease in taxes.
g. To place such building in the
Park would ruin it; that is, it would
interfere with the place for Park pur-
poses.
3. A cheap, unsightly building might
be put up.
4. II building were put up in the
Park it would revert to the Mum es-
tate.
5. There is dark, deep plot to
make the taxpayers put up building
for the benefit and free use of the
Chamber Of Commerce.
Let us take these objections up
seriatim:
l. The election April l carries with
1t no tax nor suggestion of tax. It
is to settle one point and one point
only: Shall the people of Lakeland
have the privilege of putting build
ing in the Park If they desire to do
SO?
q The building would occupy a
space in the northwest corner of the
Park, which at this time is hardly
used at all. 1t is not likely that dur
ing the past week fifty people have
set foot on the ground that would be
covered by the building. No one ever
sits there, and no seats have been
placed there. 1t is a spot which was
designated on the original survey of
the park for building, should it be
desired to erect one there. AT this
time there is deer pen and a tool
house covering most of the ground
that would be occupied by the build
ing. None of the Park at present
used by the people would be dis
turbed, and the park as a whole
would be improved and wonderfully
beautified by the building.
3. The committee in charge assure
us they would consider the erection
of no building that would cost less
than fifteen or twenty thousand dol.
lars, and the material used would, of
course, be brick and stone. Every eff.
fort would be made to make the build
ing the handsomest and most attrac.
tive in the city.
4. Mr.. Morris G. Mum. we are sure,
will tell any inquirer that he has no
more legal rights in the park than
any other citizen. 1t was a generous
and noble gift to the city by Abraham
