CITIES ARE JUDGED
BY THEIR ORGANIZATIONS

Introduce me to your Chambtr of Commerce
and I'll tell you what kind of city you have,
and what its future is y
The above was the rather startling statement
made recently by prominent authority on COM
munity lift
In reality it was only striking way of saying
what has come to be recognized by men whose
lives are devoted to contrasting community con-
dltons in various towns and cities throughout the
United States
1t is recognition of the vital truth contained in
that statement, conscious or unconscious, that has
led to such marked advance along commercial
organization lines throughout the country.
The Chamber of Commerce tells the story of the
community spirit in proportion to the interest and
support it is receiving from the citizens Of the COM
munity.
No organization is of value to a community
when the organization exists in name only.
Community organization work is business. 1t
is not only his duty but it pays any man to get
interested in it. 1t has paid every community

1t is. indeed pleasing to see the enthusiasm be-
ing displayed every hand in the business meth
ods that are being applied in the reorganization of
the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce 1t can
only mean one thing; permanently efficiency and
big results

CANNED VOICES

The singers of the olden time were silenced
when they reached the tomb; no voice. majestic
and sublime, energies from the final gloom. We
hear OF human nghtingales whose singing gained
our fathers praise; their fame still lives in
bearded tales come down from dead and distant
days. But when they left this life of stress their
music ceased forevermore; we'll never hear their
tones unless it be upon some other shore But
now dead singers leave behind the record of their
skill and power; my timeworn phonograph I
wind, and hear Caruso by the hour. A hundred
years from now wot, such music mills will still
be wound, and that grand voice will hit the spot,
and charm the listeners around And though Ca
russo lies asleep throughout the world on all it's
shores, in humble cot and stately keep his voice
Still rolls, and throbs, and scars. To me it seems
wondrous thing that when a man is in his
grave, still can hear him grandly sing great
songs, triumphant, strong and brave I would

the breakfast gong, and Adam, in a sun-fecked
glade sent forth the races primal song Great
singers lived in every age. and when they died
their voices ceased oh, could hear the psalmist-
sage, and exc the Wise Men from the East!

THE GERMAN ALLIANCE.

1t is worthy of note that the Germans have
made no demand for the removal of American
troops from the Rhineland The separate treaty.
with this country strangely silent on that subject
his mystery is explained by newspaper
statement that hundreds of the American soldiers
have married German girls since the little force of
5000 has been keeping die Wacht am Rhein.
Evidently the Teutonc authorities are not averse
to this kind of alliance, and as there are manv
more women than men in Germany at this time,
the American army of occupation is helping to
solve very difficult problem
these are not in any sense Sabine weddings.
They each represent the free choice of two per-
Cfectly capable contracting parties, with the con-
sent and approval of the brides relatives and as

general subject of war enmties.
Enemies IN war to hate each other in
proportion to their distance apart. The men and
women in America who did not go across hate
the Germans a great deal more than those who
went. And those who stayed but little while
hate them more than those who stayed on longer
and saw more of them. 1t has been so in all ages
and with all races. Some of the most touching

The gentleness of heaven is on the

FIRST HURT FIRST CURED

The south was hit first in the slump following
the war. 1t was hit hard. With cotton volplan-
ing from forty cents pound to fifteen cents, and
other southern products diving in the same proper
ton, the people felt for time that something Sc
rious had happened. What hurt more than any
thing else the fact that other sections, at the
time, seemed to be immune. Manufactured goods
stayed up So did the things sold at the grocery
store. So did rents and rail rates and everything
included in the category of vital necessities The
south seemed singled out for wcarious atonement
for the economic sins of the whole country
But the very fact that the great southern staple
made It's full descent at one fell swoop and could

just as its effects wore off any change was

war, an even start in the race for future growth
and development.

LACK OF GOOD BREEDING

On more than one occasion the Telegram has
been asked to say word by way of protest and
for the purpost of correction concerning the bad
manners exhibited by children and even older
boys while attending motion picture performances.
A bad impression is created in the minds of visitors
when they are compelled to endure bedlam of
whstlng, cat-cals and unearthly noises that might
be expected from the inmates of mad-house. 1t
is to be hoped that the boys and girls who indulge
IN this sort of thing at the local theaters do not
act that way in their homes. If they do, then the
parents are to blame. Such exhibitions show dis
respect for Older. people. are breach of conven-
ton and should not be tolerated in any civilized
community. An evening or two ago when the
lights went out in a certain theater there immedi-
ately started pandemonium of noise that was in
tolcrable. Such lack of good breeding and re-
incmcnt was appalling and scarcely to be credited
in city with fine reputation such as that en-
joyed by Lakeland. 1t was not the fault of the
management was it possible to put an end to it.
