TINE TO HELP

~ SAS SAAS A0' ANN ~
Il ton Army Appeal, it behooves us to keep
4 \ in mind how very worthy that organization
is, and how immeasureably great are the good
deeds and the splendid achievement brought about
by it's members through their unselfsh and unfalt-
ering work for all classes of humanity needing
their help.
People in the higher walks of life have become
better men and women through their experience
with the Salvation Army. But what Of the hum
dreds of almost lost souls who have been reclaim
ed into fine men and women through these people
who never hesitate at going down to lift up the
most fallen dregs of humanity? Would you or l
do what they do to one of the worst of these?
Chances are we would not. But we can help them
to carry on the great work by giving a little of
our means to help the cause. Think this over,
and begin to lay aside now.
A striking example of the Salvation Army
work is given in the following story, which has
come to our notices:
"It was five o'clock in the morning and as a
stranger was hurrying toward the Union Station
to take his train back to North Dakota, he saw
huddled up on a tumbled-down doorstep, what he
thought to be a bundle of old rags. It proved
however, to be a woman, dirty, filthy and dead
drunk. A policeman approached and the good
samaritan asked him to take charge OF the wo-
man. The policeman refused. The woman was
a common sight, always drunk, depraved and inn
moral and arrest had no terrors for her. AS the
last resort the man called a taxi cab and took her
to the Salvation Army Rescue Home. The lassie
in charge took the woman in and later she wrote
to the man in North Dakota that the woman had
come in 100000 strong, (doughboys will appreci-
ate this one) that they had been compelled to cut
off her hair, so matted and filthy was it, and to
burn her rags. She slept for two days and when
she awoke she found herself in a clean room. She
Immediately demanded to know where she was.
The nurse told her not to worry, that she was in
a Salvation Army home and would be well taken
care of. "The Salvation Army Home" cried the
woman, then with a burst of profanity that would
have made General Dawes seem like an amateur,
added, "I have lost my reputation now" She
thought that the final step in her degradation was
in becoming associated with the Salvation Army"
This was the opinion that the public generally
held until 1917. The Salvation Army was con-
sidered by many a joke but the spot light was
turned on it during the war and it was found that
It had been serving without faltering for forty
years. 1
AS a result over 10000 of the finest business
and professional men Of the United States have
become members of the Salvation Army Advisory
BOARD. whose duty it was to represent the Saliva
tion Army in their communities. These business
and professional men have studied the Salvation
Army thoroughly and are ready to back it to the
limit.

MORE ROOM IN FLORIDA
(Times-U nion.)


The tourist tide in Florida rises higher and
higher every year. and it flows in earlier and
earlier every year. 1t began earlier this year
than ever before, and there is no reason to doubt
that it will rise higher this year than ever be-
fore. considerable sprnkling of tourists were
in the state this year before the weather
ended and they are still coming by train, by
ship and by automobile.
Tourists who come in their will find
it has been heretofore The roads coming into
Florida are not yet good, but they not
bad as they were last year, and they will be
considerably improved before the tourist season
ends. Many of our visitors will find the roads in
good condition when they get ready to leave the
state, and it seems practically assured that by
the opening of the tourist season next year those
coming to Florida in their will find
good roads leading into the different Sections of
the state.
Last year Florida was pretty we'll crowded with
tourists, and in some parts of the state it not
easy for all of them who desired to to
get accommodations. But there has been i'm
mense amount of building in the state during
the last twelve months Floridas building prog
rest has been the wonder of the nation. We have
no definite fgNres, but building operations have
been reported as extensive in all parts of the
state and it is safe to say that more than fifty
million dollars has been spent in Florida for
building during the last twelve months. Jacl
sonville, Tampa, Miami and st. Petersburg have
reported nearly half of that amount, and while
these four cities have far surpassed any others
their building does not represent half of that
done in the state.
Florida is increasing rapidly in population
that twenty-five or thirty million dollars year is
needed to provide room for the increase in the
permanent population, but nearly as much is
available for the housing of the increased num-
Der of visitors who have come or are coming
to Florida to spend the winter.

SATURDAY NIGHT

The cycle of the seven days has brough hit the
usual shifting of the scenes on the worlds stage.
Possibly foremost in Importance is the hoped for
settlement of the so-called Irish question. 1t is
impossible TO grasp all the details of the plan
agreed upon by Premier Lloyd George as being
the only solution of the age-old struggle. All the
world will hope that the Irish Free State, pre-
sumably dominion of the British Empire similar
to Canada and Australia with absolute autonomy,
will now be able to work out lis own destiny in
the promotion of the happiness and the welfare of
all the Irish people. There would seem 10 be no
good reason why, with the practice of liberation
and the principles of brotherhood, Ireland should
not develop and prosper.

could be rendered in making thorough study and
investigation of the city's municipal problems. es-
pecially with regard to matters of taxation and
finance. 1t will require at least three weeks to
complete this survey after, which the report will
be taken to New York for final analysis and
recommendation of any new course OF procedure
thought to be in the best interests of the munich
paiy. At a cost of approximately ST., 600 the
city officials will have obtained clear insight
into present financial needs, how these needs can
be met how the future can be provided for with
out involving the city in any additional floating
debt and how the ever-present bugbear of taxa
ton can be almost entirely eliminated by improved
assessment methods.

CANNED KINGS


The man who's once held down a throne is good
for nothing else, it seems, and though he's exiled
and alone, the regnng graft still fills his dreams
King Carl tried twice to nail the crown that war
had lifted from his brow his former subjects
turned him down, and he is on the hogtran
now. And people say ex-Kaiser Bill yet dreams
of going back once more, to ply scepter with
the skill that got him in the soup before And
doubtless Kronprinz William hopes to be mon
arch wearing bells, as he is sliding down the
slopes of that far island where he dwells. To
be a king these days and reign, and wear brass
machine-made hat! Oh, no one can be safe and
sane and long to hold job like that. Once kings
could sit around in state and watch the palace
fountains squirt but that bright day has pulled
its freight. and monarchs now are cheap as dirt
Once kings were proud and naughty gents, with
courers kneeling at their feet but now they
look like thirty cents, and wish they had enough
to eat. Far better saw five cords of elm with
moisture on the regal brow than try again to
rule realm, the WAY all Kingdoms stack up now.

AROUND THE CORNER

(Charles Hanson Towne.)
Around the corner | have friend
In this great city that has no end;
Yet days go by and weeks rush on,
And ere l know it, year has gone g.
And never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race
He knows like him just as we'll
AS in the days when l rang his bell
And he rang mine.
We were younger then;
And now we are busy tired men
Tired with playing foolish game
Tired with trying to make name
Tomorrow" | say, "Pll call on jim.
Just to show Pm thinking of him."
And the distance between us grows and grows
Around the corner yet miles away
Here's a telegram, sir"
Jim died today"
And that's what we get and deserve in the end
Around the corner-a vanished friend.

A WONDERFUL PROPOSITION
(By 5. E. Kiser)

(By 5. e. kiser)
Most happily" says Mr.. Bull,
I'VE second your great proposition;
1t meets our fondest hopes in full,
And brings to birth a new condition.
Wei scrap our ships, as you suggest,
Without the slightest hesitation
But, meanwhile, may it not be best
To have a reconsideration"
1T is pleasure says Japan,
ITO hear your honorable story;
You have conceived a noble plan,
You cover your great self with
glory.
Without evasion, we agree
To honorable scrap you mention
But wait a while, and let us see;
We glimpse reason for dissen-
sion.''

AT least we make approach to req.
son;
The weary world will have a chance
To be unburdened for season.
Your plan is logical and fair,
We can't show how it can be bet
tered
But we regret to say that there
Are reasons why we can't be fet.,
tered"
The propositions great! 1t shuts
The doors against wars waste and
worry,
And if there were no ifs or butts"
We'd have things settled in a hurry.
The Briton and the gentle Jap
Say, splendid Nothing could be
greater;
Go on, reduce your ships to scrap
Well see about our program later

A PRETTY GOOD WORLD
(Capper's Weekly.)

New York papers tell the story of a widow.
left two years ago by the death of her husband
with small store in little New Jersey village
and four children. Profits of the store were so
small that few days ago the widow sold out
for S1,4OO and with the cash in her bag went to
New York to seek a house She might furnish
and rent out rooms. When she went to get off
one OF the big busses that perambulate New York
streets, she discovered the bag containing all she
possessed had slipped off her arm. Her grief
was such that many persons searched up and
down the driveway but without finding her prom
erty. Then man and his wife in a motor car
came along and prevailed upon the woman to
go to their house with her children for the night
The afternoon the widow lost the money, H B.
Hopper, described as an author by the New York
papers, was walking in Riverside drive and saw
something drop from the passing bus Picking
it up he found it to be a little green handbag.
and in it $1,40O in 800 and $50 bills He adver,
tised his find and the widow got her money.

Talking Of service brings to, mind some facts
regarding this Bureau of Municipal Research with
which the average citizen ought to be made &C
quainted In the first place it is not money
making institution nor was it ever intended to be
such. 1t was organized in New 4ork by fore
most citizens for the purpose Of helping the gov
eminent of that great city in working out a solu-
ton Of problems with which almost every munich
pality is confronted. Scarcely had this work been
well under way before calls began to come in from
other cities close by, asking for help and it was
then realized that a decision would have to be
reached as to the extension of the service to
others. An affirmative decision was based on the
public-spirited cooperation of several very wealthy
New Workers who consented not only to become
officers of the Bureau but to back up the work
with real money This explains why the Bureau
is not pro6t-making concern but rather a service
giving institution. Many cities and towns all over
the country bear testimony to the value of that
service. The survey now in progress in Lakeland
will be Of distinct value to the new board and to
he other city officials whose business it is to run
the affairs of Lakeland

This leads 10 the statement that the act of the
Lakeland Chamber of Commerce in providing
tourist headquarters in the Chamber of Commerce
building just north of the Auditorium on South
Massachusetts avenue is one that is helping in a
degree at least in solving the problem of how to
entertain our visitors. Almost every city in Florida
has something of this kind where the stranger may
feel at liberty to mingle freely with his fellow
