Hopes of Great Future
for City Are Enter
tanned

Fully 300 reservations have been
made within the past twenty-four
hours for the Community Progress"
Dinner Monday evening which bears
out the assertion which has repeatedly
been made in these columns that
some one is going to be terribly dis
appointed through delaying the matter
of getting in their acceptances. More
than half of the seating capacity for
the dinner has been sold and it is
confidently expected that by Saturday
night the entire quota of 425 will have
been taken.
The dinner is such a big affair and
the program is so unusual that it is
arousing the interest of the entire
county, in fact cities beyond the con-
fines of Polk county are congratu at
ing Lakeland upon the remarkable
program of speakers of national rep
utation that is being provided.
No man can bring a greater mes
sage of authority in commercial or
ganization work than Colvin Il.
Brown. Within the past year he has
addressed over two hundred organZa-
tions in larger cities throughout the
country. In those cities where the
membership of their organizations
runs into the thousands, in every in
stance he has talked to virtually the
entire membership of the organization,
1t is an unusual opportunity that one
has anywhere to hear Mr.. Brown-an
unusual opportunity from the stand
point of the authority he speaks with
Of 90 IL
that he is.
Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Smell will ar
rive in Lakeland on Sunday and an
opportunity is going to he given them
to see great deal of Lakeland on
Sunday and Monday and to see the
wonderful development taking place
in Polk county. The Reorganization
Committee is anxious to have these
men get birds eye view Of our back
country and to ride over our wonder
full roads.
This afternoon the secretary ad-
dressed the Woman's Club at the club
house. There was quite large atten-
dance and the plans for the reorgani-
cation received the unqualified en-
dorsement and support of the Wo-
mans Club The women of Lakeland
are solidly behind the reorganization
movement.
Some of the interesting and enthu-
siastic endorsements that are coming
in are as follows:

RENT HOG UNHONORED

Increasing rents may be wise
business at this particular time.
It undoubtedly is-for the land
lords. But there is no economic
reason for advancing rents at
this time and the landlords who
practice it deserves every bit of
the condemnation that is heaped
upon him. "-Okmulgee Times.
Years ago, before the birth of the
Okmulgee Times or Of The Ardmore-
lite, an old editor by the name of
Aesop, published newspaper some
where in Egypt. The files Of this
paper fail to give the name Of the
city wherein it maintained its general
offices, but it is a fact, established
beyond mooting, that the rent hog
lived and prospered and waxed fat
there until he became blinded by his
own success and raised the rents so
high that all his tenants moved off
TO other towns, villages and hamlets.
Editorializing upon this happening
Mr.. Aesop told of the money grabber,
beyond doubt the rent hog, who own
ed a goose which laid an egg Of solid
gold every time the rent hog grunted.
In other words this goose came
through with the added mazuma when
ever the rent hog raised the rent.
But one day, according TO the Aesop-
ian editorial, the rent hog became so
money-mad that he grabbed the poor
renter and chopped off his head,
thinking that he could rifle his pock-
cts and get all the golden eggs he
carried therein. without being forced
to carry on his grand larceny in to-
be-continued-ln-our rent
raising installment.
Too late he discovered that he had
already drawn the last drop Of blood,
that he had squeezed the last egg of
gold, that he had worked the shell
game to the limit.
For the goose, even with his head
severed from its shoulders, arose,
quacked a defiance and waddled off
to the pastures owned by a more con-
sidcrate and more human-heartcd man.
We are told that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place. But,
on the other hand. we are also told
that history is ever inclined to repeat
itself Thus it will be that before
many more days. unless things change,
we viii find ourself sitting in our
sancrr .von as the editor Of the
Okmu Times will sit in his sane
tum. u,uuing words which will tell
of the manner in which the rent hog
has slain the goose which has been
layine his monthly egg Of solid gold.
