ABOUT HOME STORES

The service which the stores of

Ii d no such command over the worlds
resources. Today a system has been
organized by which any store great
or small. can draw at once on central
depots for anything under the sun that
it can pay for. II is visited regularly
by trained representatives of these
centers, who give expert help in meet
ing the needs of the public.
Thus any bright and progressive
store becomes an integral part of
great system, in a position 10 offer

HOOKING BIRD PLAYED
PART IN SALE OF HOME
IN THE SUNSHINE CITY

The st. Petersburg Independent of
the 18th contained the following:
"a mocking bird played an import.
ant part in the sale of a house here
recently. Richard c. Worley, through
William B. Carpenter, who is with D.
S. Sasser, sold his six-room bungalow
to John Hefner, of st. Paul, MINI.
Mr.. Hefner went with Mr.. Carpenter
to look at the house, but before he
had time to look around much a
hooking bird began to sing.
"Mr. Hefner had been looking for
house with birds near, and when he
heard the hooking bird, sitting in
the top of an orange tree, singing as
though to split It's throat, he immedi-
ately decided that was the place for
him.
"Mr. Hefner, who is great lover
of birds, is not likely to regret his
deal as there are probably more
hooking birds in this section than in
any part Of the city"

Dear Mr.. Earman:

Editor Anderson went up to the
Press Association, and in telling
about it he joshes q number Of the
brethren, winding up with the ag-
gravating statement that he doesn't
care what they say in retaliation
he's going to refrain from reading
their papers for the next two weeks,
anyway. OF course, this editors
comments were mere pleasantries,
and the responses would be in kind;
but he suggests mighy good way to
handle those who are nasty" There
used to be a dirty, rabid little sheet
in Lakeland which went the way all
such things go; and after Its demise
the publisher apologized for things
he had printed about us. He was as
sured that apologies were unneces-
sary-that We had never read a line
Of the stuff he mentioned. This pol
Icy saves possible resentment-and.
oh, how it hurts the other fellow!

We had just as soon judge a baby
show as to have attempted to decide
which are the best weekly and semi
weekly papers in Florida. There are
a number that are mighty evenly
matched in Typography and general
excellence, and a choice between
them is very hard to make. Florida
newspapers in our opinion measure
up to a higher standard than those
of any other State in the Union.

Be it known that approximately five thousand citi-

I have received the photograph that he sent.
He evidently POSED for this photograph the
morning after the primary when he defeated Uncle
Steve Sparkman, who represented the First Florida
District in Congress for twelve successive terms or
twenty-four years.
This photograph has a slight smile indicating
peace with the world and SATISFACTION WITHIN.

It used to be when one started out
for a drive there were only a few
blocks of paved streets over which
to show our visitors, and we would
exercise considerable ingenuity in
variations of approach and route over
these blocks, to make the most Of
'em and give the stranger the impress
sion that there were more of 'em
But now We can traverse miles of
paved streets without going over any
part of the route twice. and there are
numerous loops which make pleasant
and beautiful short drives. In fact,
Lakeland is one of the best paved
cities in all the country.
