Lakeland people dropped into the
new time with no material dis
arrangement of their routine. They

maintained their business and house

heretofore by the sun. Those who
breakfasted at 700 before now take
the meal at 500, thus holding fast
to that hours snooze in the morn

Government control of telegraph, as
exemplified by Mr. Burleson, will cost
the senders of messages sixteen mil.
lion dollars year in excess of the
charges under private or corporate
control. 1t seems that there are
many unnecessary burdens imposed
upon the people, and this twenty per
cent increase in telegraph tolls, in.
ficted after the war is over, seems
the most unnecessary and uncalled-
for.

There is shortage of gasoline. Water

There are no raw materials for the
