REYNOLDS STORE
TO HAVE DOUBLE
FLOOR SPACE ON
JANUARY lST

A change of much interest in mer.
camille circles is the announcement of
the enlargement of the Reynolds
store, which, after January LIST, will
occupy, in addition to their own store,
the room now occupied by the Keller
Electric Co. and C. o. Pinch, which
they have leased from the owner, HI.
B. Carter.
The wall between the two stores
will be torn away, and thus give one
spacious room in which to display the
big stock of drygoods and ladies'
ready-to-wear, which they plan to
carry. There will be handsome new
fixtures installed and everything that
is found in an up-to-date department
store, as far as ladies' wants are con-
cerned, will be carried by this firm.
A feature which the Reynolds store
will install, and which will be ex-
tremely popular with shoppers, will
be ladies rest room, which will be
fitted with every comfort and con-
venience.
Few business men have made a
more pronounced success of their bus
mess than the Misses Reynolds. Start.
ing from small beginnings, they have
built up an establishment which
draws trade from all South Florida
and a more select stock cannot be
found in the leading cities than that
carried by this progressive firm. In
branching out, Misses Reynolds will
take in no other partner but will con
time the store under their own exclu-
sive ownership and management. The
firm in the future will be known as
Reynolds. M. & X. Reynolds man.
ayers, Miss Kate Reynolds having re.
Gently been taken in as full partner.
The Telegram congratulates these
ladies on their success, and shoppers
of Lakeland and surrounding terri
tory will be pleased to learn of their
extensive plans.

 "Our army was built and IS still be- ing built at the front. In the midst of battles we are always studying our enemies and adjusting our move ments to the needs of the moment; we are always improvising new in formations and tempering them in the fire of battles.
 "Conditions on the northeastern and southwestern fronts are funda- mentally different On both of these fronts we made serious retreats after initial successes. This could be in terpreted as evidence Of insufficient persistence. Actually it is the result of the fact that we had to create while laboring with millions to con- vince them that there was no other solution except fighting. While we threw forward divisions which reached Warsaw we worked necessarily in the rear on the forma- I'berS those that retreated from War saw.
 We were compelled to mobilize industry at the same time when the need of industry for the country was a serious problem.
 Before the forces of Admiral Kol- chak we retreated to the Volga river. Denikin's army of General Yudenitch we retreated almost to the walls of Petrograd.

SODIUM SULPHATE
 LAKE DISCOVERED

Winnipeg, Oct. 1 - A sodium su1- phate lake covering an area of 25O acres has just been discovered seven miles south of Radville, in southeast ern Saskatchewan, it was announced by the Resources Bureau of the Cana dian National Railways in Winnipeg.
 The sulphate in natural form from the lakes waters is reported by the bureau officials to be about 96 per cent pure. This is the third sulphate lake to be found in Western Canada in the last two years, the greater part of the chemical being derived from underground springs. Sodium sulphate is used for bleaching purposes by paper and other manufacturers. The market for it is extensive.
 According to reports to the railroad bureau, residents of Radvil1e have staked out claims around the lake and are preparing to market the sulphate immediately.

SEES NO SOVIET
 MILITARY THREAT
 AGAINST GERMANY

- Berlin, Oct 1-On1y romancers and dreamers believe that the Russian Red
 army will eventually strike at Ger
 many and seek to establish a Soviet
 here with the aid of which it will make war on France, declares Will
 helm Dittman, the independent social ist member of the Reichstag.
 Dittman, who was one of the Ger man delegates to the Moscow com munist congress. in an article in the Freiheit turns upon bolshevism which, l,
 he declares, is an impossible system which can exist only in Russia because
 of the "crass ignorance of the Rus
 sian peasants"
 Herman workmen," he goes on,
 ''who are not two-legged beasts but
 outstanding human beings, would
 never submit to the dictatorship of a few" He says they have nothing in comm on with men who tare neither socialists nor communists and gener- ally have only a vague understanding g of politics, governemnt and society. They are mostly unable to read and write,' Dittman continues. ''and their horizon hardly extends beyond their own thresholds, as might have been the case of the German peasants of the middle ages. And these men constitute 75 per cent of the entire population of the country.
 Blind passion and high ardor have idea1ized Soviet Russia as a land where all the wrongs of the proletariat have an end. Hitherto, the exclusion of Soviet Russia from western Europe has helped to crystalline and firmly es- tab1ish these illusory conceptions ' Dittman concludes.

SOVIETS WATCH AMERICA-JAPAN PACIFIC RIVALRY Attitude Depends In Treat ment of Russia By Both
 Countries Trotsky Claims "Red"
 Armies Will Surprise Says Russia Follows Nc "Blind Sympathy" for
 White Race
S(Copyrdght, 1920, by Int. News Ser
 Vice.)

F(Copyr7ght, l9ZO, py lhI. Ne"S HSi Vice.)
 Koscow-(By Wireless to Berlin), Sept. 29.-(Delayed.)- .)-The Soviet government of Russia is turning its attention to the Pacific in which ! sphere. according to War Minister Leon Trotsky, "a tremendous antag- 1 onism is growing up."
 Trotsky'S reference to "a tremen- t,dous antagonism' was made Tn re- sponse to a question as to what pollcy ! he expected the U S. to adopt toward Russia in view of the American Jap anese rivalry in the Pacific.
 Trotsky, who is one of the doni- nant powers in the Soviet govern ment, today outlined his views on in sternationaI issues and certain phases 1 of the military and economic sltua- | tion within Soviet Russia for the h. i ternational News Service. He prom tdsed many surprises by the Russian ! Red army"
 Minister Trotsky, in referring to President Wilson, said:
 '1 think the policies of President f-Wi1son are not the cleverest in the history of the great transatlantic re- spublic.''
 As to the policy of the United States toward Bolshevism Minister Trotsky said:
 'I may venture a brief statement although Comrade Tchitherin,> the tcommmissart for foreign affairs, could answer questions more fully, having egreater Knowledge of the subject. "In our world policies We have ravoided national prejudices, Chauvin- istic sympathies and antiquities. kWe have no prejudices against a vel Elowskin nor have we any blind sys-
 pathy with the white race. We keep Jan attentive eye upon the develop sments of all antagonisms throughout the whole world. We are aware that ea tremendous antagonism is growing tup around the Pacific. Our attitude regarding the a.ntagonistic Pacific
 will be wholly determined by the pol bicies of the United States and Japan towards Russia
 We have repeatedly demonstrated 1 by our acts that we not only can 1 exist with bourgeois governments, but I've are able to do business with them
 on a broad scale"
 The war minister was asked to
 forecast the military result on the western (Polish) front. He replied Regarding the Red army and our present and potential strength I can say that: The army is bound to Sbring many surprises in the future as it has in the past
 ! Superficial observers were astound- ed at our successes and were unable
