there are any Lakeland people left
who yet think lightly OF the touris:
business they may be reminded that
great deal Of the difference In the
figures mentioned is accounted for by
the profits from this tourist business.
We must lengthen our cords, as
well as strengthen our stakes. The
season, soon to close, will have been
one of the best we have ever had;
more profitable, but we shall find to
our bitter loss and disappointment
that unless we increase our civic
stock and modernize our equipment
VIC shall fail to secure the business
which will be ours the coming season
providing we really want 1t. We
have strong competition in this game
OF city building, and there are new
ones coming into the field with larg'
vision and practical methods.
Upon the merchants and business
men especially, but also upon the eli
izens generally, rests the responsi
bility of meeting the issues which ar
largely going to determine the ply
sical and moral status Of the Lake
land Of tomorrow and say whethe
she shall not only hold her presen

Lakeland's Present Opportunity

some building going on all the time
1t has entirely failed to keep up with
anything like the demand.
But, with material costs so high,
capital, in some quarters, questions
very emphaically the wisdom OF
building, and the layman is trying to
listen to the voice of the economist
who is endeavoring to answer this
question in the most practical way.
Some of the most noted experts OF
the country have concluded, as the
result of deliberate investigation and
the taking of counsel In a broad and
comprehensive way, that 1t is folly to
wait for lower costs on materials and
labor to any very great extent, and
that such a policy OF conservatism
will be more than likely another
case of penny wise and pound fool

ORLANDO NAY
NOT CHANGE
HER CLOCKS
(Orlando Reporter-Star)

(Orlando Reporter-Star)
A comprehensive canvass OF the
city this morning revealed the fact
that there is a preponderance Of SEN
timent in favor of retaining the time
schedule by which the towns affairs
are now run, and throw the plan of
saving more daylight into the discard.
AS a matter Of fact not one person
was found to be in favor of setting
the clocks ahead and running on a
new schedule shunting us an hour to.
ward the sunrise.
Furthermore, one of the leading
business men of the city said he pro.
posed to bring the question before the
Board of Trade at next weeks meet
ing, when he will strongly urge that
the clocks remains as they are.
| C. e. Howard stated that the school
trustees will meet tomorrow morning
to debate the question. Mr.. Howard
said he was Of the opinion that the
trustees would adopt a plan of setting
the clocks ahead in conformity will
the government order, and run the
} school an hour ahead also, which
! would leave the status of the cast
unchanged.
Considerable difference Of opinion
J was found to exist On the question
of whether or not the clocks shoul'
, be set ahead. Some declared that
the clocks were set ahead, with tn
. same program Of business openin
:. maintained, considerable confusio
( would result. Others stated tha
Q more confusion would result IL tn
clocks were not set ahead. This vie

What is the outlook for general de.
in the State of Florida for
the coming year-at least the bal.
ance Of 1919? What sort of times are
we going to have during these
months which are before US? These
and similar questions are being
asked, consciously or unconsciously,
by men everywhere. All over the
country we can hear the questionings
and the various answers which are
given. All over the State We hear,
more or les, the same thing. 1t is
natural, therefore, that these ques-
tions should come up in our own
community, and there is no reason
why the answers should be materially
different.
Opportunity for business, for de-
velopment along commercial, indus

more loudly or insistently than at the
present time. There never was as
much money in the country; there
never was as much demand for pro
duction of all sorts of material re
sources, whether raw materials OF

He entered the press room at the

For a while he remained silent lis

Suddenly he spoke. His voice was
high and squeaky:
Il am the only man in the world
who understands basically and funda-
mnetally, what the term League OF
Nations means.
Tense silence. Somebody gasped.
A woman correspondent collapsed.
The marvellous person was besiege.,
with questions. Everybody talked at
once.
The marvellous persosn surveyed the
crowd and that old disappointed look
came into his eyes.

TO EXAMINE LICENSE LAW

Bridgeport Association No. 4, N. A. s. F., had its regular meeting in it's hall, IFS Fairfield avenue, last even ing. A committee was appointed to examine an engineers license law, which was introduced at this session of the General Assembly, and in the name of the association, will either endorse same or reject it. Persons interested in the bill will endeavor to get the endorsement of every N. A. s. E. association in Connecticut, to use it's influence to have the bill pass
 Last year an engineers license law was introduced which put the issuing Of engineers licenses in the hands of an insurance company. This bill was killed through the influence brought to bear by the power plant men of the state, who were solidly opposed to this measure. The committee appoint cd to pass on the measure is Frank J.
