Incinerator Site

That the city might effect a saving
by using the old pump station building
to house an mcinerator was sugges-
tion put forth by f. b. Hayes, city sur
veyor, last night when a discussion was
being held about the proposed i'm
provement. The use of the building
would be y departure from the tenta-
tive plans. but saving of about 5000
could be effected, and large cities are
installing mcinerators near a central
location in order to decrease hauling
expenses. The council decided to ap-
ply a coat of bright red paint to the
old Studebaker fire truck.

THE RENTED HOME

The money you have paid for rent is gone be-
yond recall, though you have paid it for a tent
or for stately hall; some landlord took it, cent
by cent and left your bundle small Some land
lord took your iron men and left you feeling sore
for you were needing every yen to buy things at
the store; and every month he came again, and
took away some more. You've bought that resi-
dence, alack you poor misguided gent! You've
bought the blamed place front and back, and by
the strain you're bent; and still the landlord
owns the shack and bones you for the rent. Not
yours the rooftree overhead, not yours the els
tern pump the landlord owns the fence and she'd
the whole works in lump; when you can't pay
him you must tread the pathway to the dump
When you sick Or out of luck the landlord
stern appears, and clamors loudly for each buck
for which you're in arrears and hauls your dun
mage in a truck to soulless auctioneers sane
and prudent wight is he who in his own shack
dwells though it may plain and humble be, not
built for blooming swells; we see him meath his
vine and tree, and note he's wearing bells.

Keeps steady pace with me along the

fragrant incense drifting down the

Why do the ones we love laugh and

Why will life play with hearts, like
wooden pawns?
only ask forgiveness and yet
Remembrance rises with each walking

To rest awhile or hear some joyous

Those friends of fate, my memories of

UNION ! ILAaEH
TO FIGHT OR NOT TO FIGHT

A perusal of the newspapers and magazines of
the day indicates that public interest is now large
ly conferred on the coming conference in Washing
ton at which the nations CT the whole earth will
be represented for the purpose of discussing dis
armament. Translated into pure United States,
the purpose is 10 decide whether to fight or not
to fight. And be it understood the fighting if any
there be in the years TO come, will not be done by
the men who will sit at the conference table in
Washington, but by the boys, perhaps our boys,
who in the primary grades in the public
schools or possibly these in the high schools. AS
viewed from certain ang les the whole question
absolutely simple that one might think
1t possible 10 reach a solution and arrive at de
cision in a very short time There can be no ques-
ticn that the mental attitude CT the world is against
war; that attitude has not changed since its marvel

sailles; it was rank prejudice and nolerant jeal-
ousy thal sough 10 becloud the issue and 10 bring
discred on man whose name will live in history
long after his defamers have been dropped from
the book of life never to have their names recalled
or mentioned This will be history for our grand
children.
In any event it may be said that the Washing
ten conference one result of the Versailles treaty
and the League of Nations 1t may accomplish
more than the treaty or the league; if it does all
nations will join heartily and cordially in paying
honor to those responsible for the idea and in
recognizing the humanitarian instinct which prompt
ed the program
Up to the present time nothing but favorable
criticism is TO be found there are some newspapers
in the doubling Thomas class, papers incapable Of
believing that the world is yet ready to lay aside
the sword for the plowshare and the pruning hook
although voicing the hope that they are mistaken
and that out of the discussion will come at least
some ray of hope and some actual performance in
the direction desired The mental attitude of
America is going to have an important bearing on
the outcome AS a people we ought to, we must
be optimistic enough to believe that this country
can bring to bear sufficient influence to cause
decision to step the madness. This much must be
admitted that if the two great English speaking
nations of the earth decide in favor of disarmament
that is what will happen Nothing in the line of
petty jealousies or misgivings oug 10 be allowed
to come between the nations whose desire and am

LAKELAND AS A TRADING CENTER

Perhaps few Lakeland business men realize the
potential power of Lakeland's reputation as a
trading center. We are so accustomed to follow
ing along certain well defined paths of procedure
that we fail to look upward and outward; we fail
to recognize the asset possessed by Lakeland bust
ness interests as the reputed trade center of Polk
county. The best evidence that this is so is to be
found by visit to the stores any Saturday for
that is the one special day of the week when our
neighbors come to trade with u.s. There is scarcely
a section of Polk that is net represented; good
roads make it easy to come and go and to carry to
market and from market all that is desired in the
the way of trade. 1t is natural law that with
the increase in size, population and wealth of
community there comes betterment in the physi-
cal condition of stores and warehouses. 1t takes
trade volume to make possible the carrying of large
stocks and the rendering of metropolitan service to
customers. A city is partly judged by the char
acter of its stores III kept untidy places of busi-
tell their own story fine appearing stores with
attractive windows containing displays of the best
goods in whatever line the merchant engages in,
are valuable advertisement for the merchant and
for his town. But with the stock of the latest and
best merchandise comes the necessity for intelligent
truthful advertising and here again the Lakeland
merchants are not found wanting. Therein lies the
secret of success-people in the city and in the
country like to trade with the man or the firm
proud CT what they have to sell and not afraid to
tell the public about their wares. AS the years pass
there is noticed an advance in merchandising in
Lakeland that is truly commendable; better
Stores better stocks better inducements to leave the
dollars at home right here in Polk county with our
Polk county merchants That is the thing which
creates and maintains the home spirit of co-opera-
ton.
With the early approach of the autumn and
winter seasons the stores will take on new life and
fresh interests Already the vanguard of the tour
s invasion is here all of which means renewed
endcavors to make Lakeland's stores better than
ever and more able to take care of the wants of
all the people in big comprehensive way. We
can best show our pride and our belief in our
home merchants by spending our dollars where
they will count the most, both from a personal
stand point and from the broader viewpoint of com
munily welfare. We should not forget the men
and women who help pay our taxes, support or
schools and churches and put their shoulders 10 the
wheel fer every good thing in which the city is

WHY EAT ANY WESTERN BEEF?
(Kissimmee Valley Gazette)

Possibly the only way for the cattle-owners
to tide over the i'll conditions which now assai
them-that fact thai no market outside the state
is open to them-s to fill the people of the state
with the understanding that Florida beef, prop
erly handled, is good for the table the beef
from any other state The cry of "Gi me west
beef has become so common that it has
gotten to be expensive habit in many house
holds-but the fact remains that in the majority
of cases when the meat is cooked in proper
fashion and seasoned it should be there are
really few who can detect the from the other.
The assertion may be disputed by many-but
it can be substantiated by as many more What
is needed in this state-for it is probable that
several years will pass before the quarantine
shall be lifted-is propaganda well written and
well distributed that Florida beef is of good
quality as that which is imported. Florida is
now a corn-producing state-and beeves can be
rounded out as well in this state as anywhere
else and, probably, cheaper than if raised here,
shipped to the midde-west to be finished" and
then shipped back to Florida as western beef
The meat-eaters here have become bunch of
faddsts-and it is time for the cattIe-producers
to teach them something.
Florida must eat her ticl-laden beef-or there
II be many man bankrupt before another six
months. The meat is good-even if the hides
are almost unsaleable because of their imperfec-
tions; and if the supply shall be greatly dimin-
ished the growers will realize their previous mis-
takes and will that the fevertick is totally
eradicated from the state 1t will be then that
the state will take up the production of cattle
in immense quantities and will thereby swell
all bank accounts. They will raise better grades
of cattle because it can be done just as cheaply
once the project is properly stated; and the
increased amounts they will fetch will be an in
centve to keep improving.
But unless there shall be an era of consuming
the Florida product and negaton to buy the
imported beef stock producers can hope for no
forts to discourage the elimination of the tick
were wrongAand they realize that it would have
been money in their pockets to have urged that
compulsory dipping be insisted upon. AS mat
ters stand Florida cattle are barred from
other states, and, with the only packing house
in the state closed, there seems to be market
except Cuba. That market, alone, cannot con-
sumo the surplus cattle in this state for a con-
siderable time-even if it should refuse any other
Shipments and precisely what sort of a market
can be found there at this time depends largely
upon the missionary work that is being done by
the secretary of the Florida Cattle Raisers' AS
sociation.
Let the public have for its slogan-"Buy Flori-
da Beef Only in this way-and by sticking to
it-can hundreds of stock-growers come out even
