OF of Southern Florida, will address

probability the younger children who

portion of the $4,000, 900 per year for
three years which the Episcopal

noon, Dec. 7th, an every-member
canvas will be made. All members of
the church are requested to remain at
home after dinner Sunday until they
are called on. Visitors in Lakeland,
whose membership is in Hniscopa!
churches of the north, will also be
called upon in behalf Of their home

be forwarded to the campaign COM
mittee intheir homes. ~

their prayers for the success of the
campaign and receive instructions as
tc its purpose. Tonight at 1880 their
will be campaign conference, an
other tomorrow evening at the same

ion will be held Wednesday and Fri

MULH0LLANDIW|LL.' -
TALK 1T BANQUET
overwhelmingly

The encouragement of local indus
tries and the more extensive adver-
Using Of the city and section were
the topics discussed at the business
mems luncheon at the fremont today.
The subject was brought up by an
inquiry relative to the location of a
glass factory here, those who were
informed on the subject stating that
it would cost $4,000 to $4,000 to
launch such an enterprise. 1t was
thought that before going into an I'M
tried field of industry those enter
prises of known merit we already
have should be given all the encour-
agement possible. The Collins Can
ming Co. was cited as an example of
an industry of wonderful possibilities,
if it were properly backed up. 1t
was stated that this concern could
utilize all the drop" fruit IN the
groves if it were running full time
and that there are $4,000 boxes of
these drops now going to waste on
the ground in this vicinity, which at
the minimum price of so cents a box
would amount to $4,000. The senti-
ment expressed favored backing the
Collins Canning Co. as an enterprise
which would be of much benefit to
the growers, besides Offering great
possibilities for financial profit.
Mr.. Samuel Rogers, gentleman
OF large business experience and
much interested in local develop
ment, suggested that a plan of ad-
vertising be initiated by subscribing
for numerous copies Of local news
papers and sending them to people in
the North. Unfortunately the budget
for advertising by the city, county
and Chamber of Commerce for this
year has been made up, and therefore
no funds are available for the pur-
pose; but the meeting thought vel
of the proposition and asked for the
appointment of committee to look
further into the matter, ascertainins
costs and other details. Messrs. J
e. Melton, G. O. Pinch and w. W.
Chase form this committee.
1t was announced that, owing t.,
the inability Of Mr.. Kessler, of Jack
sonville, to be in Lakeland and max,
the address of the occasion, as hat
been arranged, the get-together ban
quet of the Chamber of Commerce,
and Rotary Club would not be he!,
at present but but would be post
poned until a date early in January
at which time Frank Mulholland ha
consented to visit Lakeland and maxi
the address.

.GRUES0ME SIGHT
WITNESSED BY
DR.. AND MRS. GROVER

DR.. and Mrs. w. r. Grower re-
turned home last night from White
Springs, where they went on account
Of the serious illness of Mrs. Groov-
er's mother, whose condition was
such that they could leave, the Doc
tors practice necessitating his return
al the earliest possible moment.
Bnroute up to White Springs in
their car last Saturday morning, they
noticed crowd near swamp, and
Mrs. Grower observed it must be a
country funeral, the men all looked
SO stern and sober; but the Doctor
told her he had never seen anyone
buried in a swamp yet. They soon
reached the crowd, and to their hor-
ror they found themselves confronted
with the awful sight of dead negro
hanging from a rope-being the one
reported in this paper on Saturday
by the Associated Press as having
been lynched ten miles south Of Lake
City. An amusing incident occurred
when three or four cars drew up,
filled with tourists from the North.
The first machine was driven by a
negro chauffeur and when the men
responsible for the negro's death, saw
this cloud arrive on the horizon, they
Immediately ordered him to get out
of the car and shake hands with the
dead negro. DR.. Grower declares
the negro turned as white as his skin
would let him, stepped on the accele-
rator, and his car left there, taking
every hill in the county on high.

The Case of Berger.

Victor Berger met the fate that he deserved
at the hands of congress- His disloyalty was
proved to the satisfaction of at least nine out
Of every ten persons who gave the case more
than passing consideration. II this country
had been made up Of people Of his belief, or If
IT had followed his teachings, Germany would
have conquered Europe and probably by this
time would have been battering at the gates
of America.
Berger had his day in court. The house
was exceedingly considerate to permit him to
nominally hold his seat, drawing his pay, as
long as it did. His announcement that he will
retract nothing that ne said and for which
his right to seat was contested is not sur
prising. That is the kind of a man he is. But
he is known now. His poison glands have been
extracted and he may writhe, hiss and even
bite to his hearts content. Nobody will be
seriously hurt.

Of the labor movement hereafter will not be so
ready to disregard. They will lose nothing by
the course they have taken.
BY the time another armistice day rolls
around it is hoped that congress will have
taken resolute hold OF the question and en-
acted some laws limiting direct action by cap
ital and labor and yet giving both sides full
opportunity to get hearing for their
grievances.
And in the meantime while the federal in
junction is not otherwise occupied, it might
be employed as club to beat of the plumber
ing profteers who are at the bottom Of much
Of the trouble through which we are passing.

Popularizing Music.

Few are beyond the appeal Of music if it is
placed within their reach. That is the the
ory upon which the Tri-City Symphony Or
organization Is preparing to put the best OF
music within the reach Of everyone. To do
this it is proposed to give double course in
Rock Island and Davenport at moderate
prices.
That OF itself is commendable, but it is
proposed to go even further.
Music benefits most those who join in pro-
ducing it. 1t draws them together and helps
and humanizes them.
Mrs. Frank Gates Allen has been in Ohio
learning what is being done in introducing
music in the factories of some Of the leading
cities. Her enthusiastic report to the Symph-
ony orchestra is expected to lead to some sim
liar undertaking here. The man who organ
lied the musical work in the shops Of Akron
is to pay us a visit and explain what he has
done.
When men or women sing at their work 1t
is a good sign Formerly they sang much
more than they do now. This is omtnous The
purpose is to start them singing again in the
belief that II they Go so they will be better
men and women better neighbors better work
ers and better citizens.
We have learned much lately of the value
of music. We have seen it help draw the
people together in their ssupendous war effort.
We have seen it as a powerful factor in the
success of the Sunday evangelistic campaign.
Without music the latter might have fallen
fiat. The disposition here is stronger now
than ever to give music its proper place as
an educational and uplifting influence.
The value of music has been appreciated
as far back as history goes. Leland attributes
to Confucius these lines:
"Of all the arts great music is the art
To raise the soul above all earthly storms. "
Shakespeare in 1.-THE Merchant Of Venice
wrote:
1.-THE man that hath no music in himself
Nor is not moved with concord Of sweet
sounds
Is fit for treasons, strategems and spoils"
And J. G. Brainard:
God is its author, and not man; He laid
The keynote Of all harmonies; He planned
All perfect combinations, and He made
Us SO that we could hear and understand
Physical means OF expressing music are
more highly developed now than ever and the
| power for good, therefore, is immeasurably in.
