LAKELAND POST INVITED
TO TAMPA CELEBRATION
OF AMERICAN LEGION

Mr.. Clyde G.. Trammell, Comman.
der of the Lakeland Post of the Amer
ican Legion, is in receipt of cordial
letter Of invitation to all the mem
bers Of this Post to attend the first
annual Legion Day celebration a,
Tampa on November 18th. There will
be parade through the city to the
Fair Grounds where program will
be carried out consisting of athletic
events and military ceremonies, and
| after the program there will be a
real old-time barbecue followed by a
street carnival and dance.
1t is hoped that all members of the
Lakeland post will avail themselves
of the invitation and be present at
this celebration, which it is expected
TO make an annual affair hereafter.
In this connection it may be stated
that there is considerable misappre-
/ hension concerning the nature Of the
organization Of the American Legion
many believing that it is designed to
take the place Of the National Guard
The Home Guard, or other active mil
itary organization. This is mistake
and membership in the Legion does
not involve military service. It's OBJ
1ects and purposes are admirably set
forth in the Preamble to its Constitu
tion, which we quote herewith:
"For God and country we associate
ourselves together for the following
purposes:
ITO uphold and defend the Consti-
tuition Of the United States of Amer
/ lea: to maintain law and order; to
foster and perpetuate one hundred
per cent Amerjcanism; to preserve
the memories and incidents of our as
sociation in the Great War; to incul-
cate a sense Of individual obligation
to the community, state and nation;
to combat the autocracy Of both the
! classes and the masses; to make right
the master of might; to promote
peace and good will on earth; to safe
guard and transmit to posterity the
, principles Of justice, freedom and
democracy; consecrate and sanctify
our comradeship by our devotion ia
mutual helpfulness.

BRIGANDS ON JERICHO ROAD
Manchester Guradian)

Many of the demobilized men who
were in Palestine with Gen. Allen
by's troops were not sorry to bid
goodbye to the precipitous, zig-zag-
ging road running down from Jeru-
salem to Jericho. In summet ir was
intolerably dusty. and after rain
its greasy surface was dangerous
for motorists. On one part Of the
route the site of the inn of the Good
Samaritan is still pointed out.
Even in modern times the road is
so infested with robbers as to be
unsafe for travellers. In the days be-
fore the war tourists were recon-
mended to apply to the Sheikh, or
headman, of the village Of Bethany,
on the other side of the Mount Of
Olives, for a mounted and armed
escort. His charge, however, was
high, and on one occasion party
not we'll off declined to pay it. They
declared they would go without es-
cort and chance it. Whereupon this
willy Oriental dispatched messen-
ger to the chief of the brigade tell
ing him to be on the lookout for a
party of travellers. OF course, he
and his robber chief shared the
booty!

JACK FROST APPROACHES

By giving attention to the facts es-
tablished by the Weather Bureau Of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, farmers and gardeners Of
ten may save crops and money by
protecting their paintings from frost.
For instance, valley or depres-
sion may be a regular catch-all for
frosts, while hill beside it may be
visited much less frequently. There
is a well-recognized tendency for
the air near the surface in depres-
sions or more or less inclosed valleys
to become denser, and colder than
that on nearby hillsides, which in
creases the frost risk in the lowlands.
The lesson from these facts is that
early and tender crops should, so far
as practicable, be confined to crests,
hillsides, and mountain sites, and
later and harder crops should be
planted in lowlands and valleys.

NEW TREASURY POLICY.

Under the new savings policy of
the United States Treasury additional
are afforded practically
to every one to lay aside fund for
emergencies. The means by which
this may be done lie in the issue of
500 and $1,000 registered Treasury
Savings Certificates.
Purchasing one of these certifl-
Gates may be likened to planting a
crop and then watching it grow with
the definite assurance that it will
yield a certain amount. Unlike other
crops, however it is not necessary to
cultivate it or to irrigate it or fence
it in. Its growth is sure and it is
not subject to market fluctuations.
Subject to ten days notice. it is a
demand obligation of the United
States Government.
On the other hand, the certificates
are unlike most other securities in
that there are no stated intervals at
which interest is paid. II the holder
desires his money back he can get it
with the interest it has earned, upon
making the proper written demand.
Every person who can afford to do
so is invited by the United tSates
Treasury Department to invest to the
limit, $1,000, in these new securi-
ties.
A 800 Treasury Savings Certifi-
cate costs $3.50 in August and a
81, 900 certificate costs $83S.00. The
prices increase every month, and In
vestors are therefore urged to buy
before the next advance comes.
Certificates of both the 800 and
81, 900 denominations may be had al
any bank or trust company author
lied to handle War Savings Stamps
and at Federal Reserve Banks. In
! addition, the 500 Certificates are
handled by all postoff1ces of the frs
and second class. Certificates Of
both denominations may be bought
outright or will be given for the nee
essary number of War Saving:
! Stamps of the 1919 series.

THE WOMAN'S CAMPAIGN

Tired of Investigations and the
plethora of proposals for reduction
of the high cost of living, and be-
lieving that by education rather than
legislation is the proper way in
which to combat the profiteers, the
Daily Food Alliance, of New York
City, has aligned itself with the
Women's National Economic Com
mittee in campaign to line up 20
100000 women to war on food
profiteering.
The cooperation of the house
wives of the nation, supplemented
by coordination of all other availa-
BILE helpful agencies, should bring
quick results in the matter of low
ering prices.
The women in any community are
the buyers. They look after the
home expenses. 1t is the circulation
Of the money used in the home ex-
pense account which keeps business
going.
We cannot correct all the social
evils of our day, or hope that they
will all be eradicated in any prox-
innate future, but it is our business
to assist in remedying such wrongs
as are possible to be reached, and
certainly the high living cost should
yield before the onslaught of 10000
900 intelligent and determined
| women.
Close organization will tell. These
| women will be fighting for their
homes and children. They will be
fighting to discomfit and dismay
constituencies food spectators, pi-
rates who levy tribute and still hope
to escape that just penalty which
should be their due.
Let the women go a-marketing, as
! is proposed by the new alliance, and
not only will they accomplish prac-
tical results, but in this way find a
pleasant outlet for more or less sup
pressed energies.

Beware Of Compromises.

One temptation in making difficult
decisions is to compromise. You aren't
sure which way is the best, you seek
to combine the advantages Of both, and
many a time merely combine all the
disadvantages. To be sure, there are
times when a compromise is the wisest
course, but there are just as many
times when it is cowaTdice and weak
ness. How can One tell which times
are which? Well, that is simply an
ether decision for you.
