THE PRINCESS
ZORA|DA GREATEST
SENSATION HERE

Princess Zoraida, whose exhibitions
of clairvoyance and palm reading
have established her an enviable rep
utatioOn wherever the magic arts are
known, has created a sensation in FL
Centre. The result is that in her par
lors at the Princess hotel she is
daily receiving a constant procession
of people seeking advice, some of
chem being persons most promin-
ent in the city's business community.
SO rapidly has the story of her
powers spread that she is already
being consulted by many persons
from scattered parts of the valley.
Her register shows names from Ca
..N.tu. Imperial. Holtville and Cali
patlia. Her visitors have expressed
amaZement and wonder of her mys-
tifvng work.
From the time q person is escorted
into the reception room until they
leave the presence of the Princess no
questions are asked, but in the space
of a few minutes she demonstrates
Ievond a peradventure of doubt that
she possesses psychic insight that
cannot be excelled by the most gifted
and seldom is equaled.
Princess Zoraida is a native of
Egypt, where, under the guidance of
masters of occultism, she developed
her natural psychic endowment. For
many years she has resided in the
United States and the people of many
cities know her high reputation and
great powers.
She visits the valley on the first
section of projected return to her
Egyptian home. She intends re-
naming here but a short time and
those who desire an opportunity to
consult her are urged to do so i'm
mediately.

(By A. J. Holworthy, Secretary Lake
land Chamber of Commerce, in the
Jacksonville Times-Union.)

The following statement from j
prominent official Of the Dixie High
way Association represents the good
town in the county and the state
roads situation in Polk county. The
statement was made to this official
that Polk county had recently COM
pleted a countrywide system of i'm
proved roads which connect every
town in the county with every other
town in the county, and the state
ment was followed by the question:
Can we make the statement that
there is no other county in America
which can support such claim
This is the reply: Gas far as any, in
formation we have at hand, yours is
the only county in the United States
which can truly boast of completed
system of well-surfaced roads" :
The story of Polk county's road
building program may be an interest
ing one to our readers, and ever now,
with the present high cost Of mater
ials and labor, may prove an incen-

particularly in the northern part Of
Florida, to get actively and quickly
into the road building game. The
highest authorities in the country are
united in the opinion that these high
costs are not going to be materially
lowered from the present basis for a
good while to come, and the use of
the improved roads while waiting for
this uncertain and indefinite reduc-
ton more than justifies any differ
ence in price which might later be
obtained.
The real movement for good roads
for Polk county began in June, 1914,
when a bunch of live men from all
over the county got together at the
county seat and decided to organize
an association which should have for
it's ultimate object the carrying of a
bond issue large enough to give Polk
county a countrywide system or hard
surfaced roads, and to further that
object an association was formed
which ultimately had nearly 500 men,
bers, among them the most promi
nent and influential taxpayers IN the
county. A great many meetings were
held, many different kinds Of road
material and construction carefully

Of this, shall we hesitate for moment
to respond to the last call--the Victory
Liberty Loan-when we can do so by
pledging our credit, perhaps with some
little personal inconvenience. sacrifice
or small discomfort?
The blood of the young manhood of
America is not now required. That
was generously given before the armi-
stice was signed, and now we may give
thanks that no more will be taken
The credit and good faith OF our
country is at stake. We have won the
war. and the cost is small compared
with what has been won. The men Of
the West with red blood in their veins
will not iced to be appealed to, because
they will subscribe to this last call Of
the Government as ungrudgingly as
they did in the past. There are others,
however, who may not be so keenly and
conscientiously alive to the duty of re-
spending to the Nations call, and it is
to those that the women must direct
their most untiring efforts.
This last call is truly Victory Loan.
What greater pride can men and wo-
men experience than in contributing
to 1t? A Victory Bond will be worth
more than its price expressed in dol
lars. Every one will be Ii badge testi'
flying that the holder has helped his
country to fulfill its pledge to those
who have been spared as well as those
who have made the supreme sacrifice
