WHY NOT LAKELAND


II the capitol renewal project is to be pushed in
earnest Lakeland might just as well gel in on it.
If the state wants its seat of government logic
ally situated it can be shown by undeniablc facts,
and incontrovertible arguments, that Lakeland is
just logical as any other point, and, in some
particulars it has the bulge on all of them.
A central location is desired In a state so cr-
raticaly shaped as Florida, centrality is an ideal
rather than an attanable end, but Lakeland is
willing to measure for it. The two exuemities of
the slate are Key West and Pensacola Lakeland
is closer to Key West than Orlando, and if the
mcst direct practical route were opened it would
also be closer to Pensacola Again, draw a di-
rect line from Key West to Fernandina Lakeland
would be just as close to that line as Orlando and
a good deal closer to the middle of it. Similarly,
direct line from Miami to Tallahassee would pass
but few miles west of Lakeland, and the middle
of that line would be but very short distance
north of here
In view of thes facts, Lakeland is demonstraby
the center of the state as any other city is.
But other considerations will also influence the
selection. Thus the tendency of state develop
ment and future population have already been dis
cussed by other localities All their arguments ap-
ply with additional stress to Lakeland. Fully one
half the really fertile land of Florida lies south of
us. The Everglades, drained, dried and cultiva-
ted will easily support million population. An
other million will find comfortable homes in and
around the various ports and inland cities of this
southern RECON- In all probability twenty wears
hence will see over half of Florida population
south OF an east and west line bisecting Lakeland
he counties lying wholly, or mainly, south Of
Lakeland, contain an area of 23,432 square miles
over third of the state and it is within this region
that the citrus and other sem-tropcal fruits and
vegetables of the future will be largely grown
Lakeland present railroad facilities are excellent
but nothing to what they will be as the state norm
ally develops, while It's accessibility over paved
highways is unapproached by any rival.

EVERYBODY knows that birds
build wonderful nests for their
eggs and babies. but everybody
- doesn't know that there IS a cer-
tam little fish that does the very same
thing. They are little bits Of fellows.
hardly ever more than two OF three
inches long. They are called sickle
backs. because they have a row Of
stickers on their backs as sharp as
needles. and these are the weapons
they fight with; and a FISH that has
felt them once. Is going to be mighty
careful TO keep out Of their way the
second time.
As little as sticklebacks are, they
are chuck fuil Of fight. and are afraid
Of nothing that swimz No matter IL
a fish Is fifty or a hundred times as
big as they are. they don't hesitate to
sail in aud drive It away. They dart
under a big FISH, Jab it with It's needles
and are gone before the fish can turn
around.
So the big fsh that would like the
best in the world to eat them for
breakfast, seldom try. as they have
learned from experience. that there
are some thInga It doesn't pay 10 eat.
and that a sticklebsek IS one Of them.
