Thrilling adventures lie in wait for
the unwary automobiles in East Africa
A man who was motoring near Nairooi
heard a commotion in the bush near
the road and saw two cleaning eyes.
AS something leaped at him out Of the
darkness, he increased the speed OF the
car suddenly and struck the animal
with the hood. The shock threw the
creature ahead of him in the road, and
he ran over it. On investigating he
found that he had killed lioness.

.ELKS HAD PLEASANT
TIME; LODGE PRESENTED
WITH FINE TROPHY

The Lakeland Elks held a most en-
joyable social session last night, in
which the ladies participated. The
latter enjoyed the earlier hours OF
the evening chatting and playing
cards in the specious parlors and lob
by, while the members transacted the
lodge business. A feature of the lat
ter was a communication from Mrs.
Maud Gardner. referring to the fact
that her husband, Mr.. P. A. Gardner,
died year ago, and was to have been
initiated the day following his death,
and that he was nevertheless received
into membership, his initiation being
by proxy; that on account of the
kindness of the Elks she desired the
Lodge to have souvenir from Mr..
Gardner's personal belongings, and
she therefore offered a magnificent
alligator hide. from an alligator Mr..
Gardner had killed, and which he had
prepared himself. This fine trophy
the Lodge will display in the smoking
room, the gift being thankfully ac-
cepted, and committee being named
to receive same and see that it is
suitably inscribed.
At the close Of the business ses-
sion the members Joined their ladies
in the dining room. where a fine COL
lection, consisting of salads, sand
wiches, sliced tomatoes, pickles, coffee
and punch. ice cream and cake was
enjoyed. The younger members then
repaired to the lodge room where dan
cling was INDUCED in, Hartzell's or
chestra furnishing excellent music.

LAKELAND'S BUILDING
OPPORTUNITIES


Continued from Page -
to the fact that, in general way. In
spite Of, nay, perhaps because Of, the
present high prices for labor mater.
ials and foodstuffs, more money Is
being made in every line of activity
than ever before in American history
OF course, there are instances OF
some necessary adjustments but, on
the whole, business was never better
than it is today
1t seems as though there ought to
be in this splendid community a few
men with sufficient vision and abil-
ity; men big enough to sense and to
bring to bear some practical plans
to meet such a situation as we are
locally confronted with. The Chamber
of Commerce, through its Member
ship Council, will doubtless take the
matter up, but every thoughtful man,
having any practical ideas to offer,
ought to be actively engaged in the
endeavor to preserve what we have
and to build thereupon so as to in
sure a continuance Of our prosper
ity.

then the hoop skirt undermined with
a half doze npetticoats. Then it start

up in the neck was in vogue; then
came the low neck waist and the thin
skirt with no petticoat which is the
style now, and in 1850. Shut up,
you old fool; you won't live to zee it;
no such luck.
Sometimes a few raw oysters cause
a furore in the stomach.
A man whiting does not care to
gather up the chips but let him play
