Mr.. Wilson in a few remarks asked
Y. NJ. c. A men TO withhold Juds-

only getting into good running con-

that the association leaders had de-
bated long between the alternative OF
doing a small work with efficiently
trained men or attempting to expand
along with the army and do large
work with volunteers but unframed
men. The latter plan was adopted
with all Of its hazards and when the
armistice was signed the personnel OF
Y. n. G. A. workers had been multi
piled four times. All Of the other

OF publicity in this matter. We do
not like to tell unpleasant things that
may be bad advertising for the town

Is the worst advertising the town
could have. Congressman Drane states
that way up in Washington he met
people who told him they avoided
Lakeland because 1t had the reputa-

that from moral and business stand

citizens should stand together in an
effort to do this.

Enjoys Pleasant Evening

A most delightful and pleasing en-

by the girls of st. GATHERINGS Guild
in the Parrish House.
Candy pulling was the chief feature
or the evening, although the various
other games were greatly enjoyed by
all.
The decorations, consisting of pot
plants and roses, were arranged in a
most artistic manner, making the Par
IRISH house look as though it had
succumbed to the magic spell Of some
fairy ward.
The refreshments consisted Of deli
cious sandwiches and punch.
At late hour the guests departed,
declaring they had each and every
one spent a most enjoyable evening.

just at the right time. We hope so.
We have to note that history repeats
itself. For instance. Moses came
down from the mountain top with
only two tablets Of the law. While
Woody Wilson Travelled three thou

Those German Huns are standing
quite ready for one thing, SURELY
that is, something to eat. Yes, indeed,
they are right now standing with

Mr.. and Mrs. John H. Clark, who
were called to Lakeland, Fla, by the
death of their brother-in- law, B. H.
Carter, returned home last Saturday
Mr.. Clark and wife remained with
Mrs. Carter for short visit and saw
much of Lakeland and the country
surrounding. They are we'll pleased
with the country. Lakeland Is a city
OF 5000 population and is but 80 years
old. It is a beautiful city, surrounded
by seven lakes within a few miles,
and is an ideal city in which to live.
me streets are paved, as are the
country roads for miles in all direc-
tions, and it is a pleasure to Joy ride
in that country, there being many
autos there.
Mr. Clark reports oranges, grape
fruit and all kinds Of vegetables on
the market, reminding one of early
spring in this country. The orchards
Of oranges and grapefruit and the
vegetable gardens are sights to see
at this time.
Many northern people are spending
the winter there and enjoying life.
Mrs. Carter, Mr.. Clark's sister, is
comfortably located there and will re-
main there for the winter, coming
north again next spring.
Mr.. Clark hopes to be able to make
another visit to Lakeland under diff
'erent circumstances, at some time in
me future, and thoroughly enjoy the
'almy climate for several months.
