and that the Civil Service Commits
sion is impeding the appointment OF
soldiers who have taken examina-
tions by withholding their ratings.
There is distinct impression among
them that the War Risk is discrim-
mating against former service men
and that the civil service preference
intended to be shown men who sery-
ed their country is not given.
II is pity that there Is not
some csntral agency Of the Gov
crnment having charge Of such
matters that could take charge of a
situation like this and adopt and
enforce fair rules aud policies tn
stead Of each little division Of
Government institution doing
about as 1t piedses.

BAND FOR CITY IS
BEST Way TO GIVE
WINTER CONCERTS

Captain G., T. Fleming offers what
appears upon its fact to be an admir-
able solution of the band concert
problem. Speaking to Z Telegram
reporter, he said, IF the city com.
missioners or Chamber of Commerce
will put an advertisement in the
billboard or some similar publ
cation, for a capable band leader, to
come here, organize a local band and
direct it, there will be no difficulty
in finding suitable man. A fair sal.
ary should be given him, but the total
need not reach high figure, say, NOT
over $1,000"
Captain Fleming is himself an ex-
ccllent tuba performer. with band ex-
perience. He says he would gladly
donate his own time to help the Gauss
along. It is his opinion that there Is
no scarcity OF local talent. All It
needs is a competent leader to give
his time and attention to the work.
A band with a dozen to twenty mem
bers could be organized here, he be-.
lieves, without the slightest difficulty.
Young men with musical ability
would give concerts in return for the
services of the instructor.
BY that means, at merely nomi-
nal figure, this city could not only
secure band of its own, which hit
greatly needs, but it could furnish
the public with good music during
the tourist season, which would add
greatly to the popularity Of the place,

CRAIG TRADED TO TAMPA
FOR OUTFIELDER BARBER

The Lakeland Baseball Association
concluded a deal Saturday night with
the Tampa organization whereby ROY
C. Craig, Lakeland's star pitcher, be-
longs to Tampa for the rest Of the
season, and TAR Baby" Barber comes
to Lakeland. A satisfactory money
consideration was included in the
transaction.
Barber is an outfielder and his
nickname Is based on the fact that
whatever comes his way sticks.
Craig was very popular with the
Lakeland fans, who already look for
ward to having him back next year,
but the transfer just made had sew
eral attractive features, and it Is be-
lieyed that Barber will soon win the
enthusiasm among the fans here that
his reputation elsewhere seems to as
