AUTO TOURIST CAMP
IS A BUSY SCENE

The Auto Tourist Camp, on the
western edge of Lakeland. has beel
(uite busy and attractive placJ
since the opening of the season earl.
asst autumn In fact it is a little cit,
itself. The population varies
'anging anywhere from two hundred
four and five hundred souls. A
present the population is about two
hundred and fifty
The camp is situated on rise
ground, on which there are numerou
'ative pines and water oaks. TIL
lew is excellent, and the tourists en-
Jy the fresh air and the out-doo
lie very much.
The tourist camps are made up
| very high grade of people. Liste
among the population of the Lake
land camp may at all times be foun
bankers, lawyers, doctors, teachers
and in fact, representatives of nearl
every profession and occupation.
A small store and postofiice sur
plies the people with immediate nee
essaries, as we'll as their mail.
There are a number of children
among the campers now on the
grounds. and a teacher each day
hears their lessons.
Among the pastimes are a croquet
ground and a horseshoe pitching
course. The men pass their idle mo-
ments away in these sports, or hunt
ing or fishing, or in social discourse
while many of the women occupy
their spare time in weaving fancy
baskets from pine needles. This has
become quite a fad, and ii is a profit
able one. as the baskets are useful
and at the same time very pretty.
Each evening, after supper. huge
camp fire is built in an open space
and those who care to gather around
in a circle and "sit till bedtime
with each other, during which time
there is singing and instrumental mu.
sic, also stories and speeches.
Camping out like this said lady
from Connecticut, Sunday afternoon
"is very fine way to live in Florida
where the weather is so nice %
course the woman must make up hel
mind right at the start that she il
not going to have all the comforts o
home, but with tent and car ant
few things, together with a west
pocket stove, one can get along al
right and enjoy life.

TRIBUNE SENDS PAPERS TO

From the Tampa Sunday Tribune
we clip the following interesting item
about Lakeland's well-kuown and
popular aviation expert:

be delivered by airplane to Tribune
readers at Clearwater and at Large.
For the first time in the history of
aviation in Florida considerable
number of newspapers will be dGiiv-

the trip together. AS many bundles as

along. AT any rate, the big bundles
that go to serve the news-stands at
Clearwater and at Largo can be ac-
commodated.
"The start will be made from Plant
Athletic field about Z o'clock Tues
Gay morning. The trip to Largo won't
take long, as Haldeman isn't the sort
to linger along the air lanes. It's
likely the papers will be in the hands
of the readers before 1880.

ROAD BUILDERS
TOASK FOR BIG
APPROPRIATION
Congress viii Be Requested to
Begin a Five Year Road
Building Program
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. '1S.-The next
Congress will be urged, according to
the program formulated by the Amer
ican Roads Builders Association for
it's nationwide Good Roads Congress
and National Good Roads Show to be
held in Chicago, February to u. to
extend for five years the federal road
building program which by law ter
inmates with 4he close of the govern
ment's present fiscal year. Congress
will be urged to provide additional
funds for expenditure under the
terms of existing legislation, and the
newly formed program of the Con-
gressional' leaders at the rate of at
least $100,000000 for each of the five
years beginning July 1, 1921 In the
advocacy of this procedure the
American Road Builders Association
will be in hearty accord with the at
titude expressed by Secretary of Agri-
culture Meredith in his recent annual
report.
The American Road Builders Asso-
citation, which includes in it's mem
rership the highway officials of the
national government, and those of
the states, counties, cities and town
ships in the United States and CAN
ada, together with highway engineers
and contractors and the manufactur-
ers of road-building machinery, road
and highway transportation
equipment, is also preparing to ask
President-elect Harding to recon-
mend in his inaugural address and in
his first message to Congress, a broad
program of Federal aid in highway
construction.
Whe enormous appropriations for
highway work already made by states
and municipalities - appropriations
that total more than one billion dol
lars, according to the most reliable
reports covering bond issues and di-
rect levies for road building and road
maintenance, pressage, it is believed,
an unprecedented volume of road
building for 1921. The sum of SELL
100000 voted in bond issues or ap-
by eight states recently.
added to bond issues passed by eight
other states since 1918, makes $543,-
100000 already available for road
work in sixteen states. Funds still
available through Federal aid are
placed at $16O,OOO,OOO by officials OF
the Bureau of Public Roads. In ad-
dition, funds obtained from direct
levies and other sources of state rev.
enue and county issues are estimated
to amount to 1896, 100000. The Chi
cago meeting will bring together from
all parts of the country the men who
will supervise the expenditures 'tof
these vast appropriations for a thor
ough discussion of their problems and
ali accurate estimate as to the flu
ture.

LOWER HOUSE OBJECTS TO INCREASE
INNUMBER OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Lines were
sharply drawn in the House last
night on the re-apportionment bill
which increases membership of the
House frc:l 435 to 4S5. 1t was the
opinion of leaders that it would be
voted down by a decisive majority.
Little sentiment developed for a
larger House. 1t was pointed out that
the proposed Increase in membership
would cost the country approximately
$1,500 900, while there is strong de-
mand fromIall quarters for retrench
ment.
The Republican atesring commit
tee is reported to be solidly against
the measure. Southern 0emocrats are
taking little interest in the fight, but
they will not object to keeping the
numbers of congressman at the pres
ent figure so long as membership in
the south is not affected by other
than census figures.
By keeping the membership as at
present, based upon the new census
fgcres, the losses would come from
Missouri, 2, and Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine.
Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island
and Vermont one each.
