TRIP OF EDITORS
IN POLK COUNTY
TO BE CHANGED

There is a possibility that the date
for the tour of Polk county By the
members of the National Editorial As
ISOLATION taking part in the tour of
Florida which began at Pensacola
this morning, will be changed from
Saturday of next week. March 10th.
tn Thursday of next week, March 18th.
This information has come to A. ].
Holworthy, chairman Of the Polk
county executive committee, who in
turn has notified all the members of
the executive committee in the several
localities Throughout Polk county. A
letter from Secretary George E. Hos
ner of the state executive committee
representing the Florida Press Asso-
citation, says that this change in pro-
gram may be brought about through
the failure of Tampa and st, Peters
burg to provide for the entertainment
Of the distinguished visitors. If this
change is made it will meet with the
approval of the members of the execu
tive committee because it will better
suit the convenience of the people of
Polk county to have the tour made on
Thursday instead of Saturday. Def
mite information as to the exact date
OF the Polk county trip is looked for,
possibly today, if Secretary Hosmer
who is in Pensacola has final infor-
nation as to the decision of Tampa
and st. Petersburg to either come in
or stay out of the state itinerary.

those now in use by the Eagle Cafe in
Tampa. These fixtures are entirely
of nickel and porcelain. presenting a
beautifully sanitary appearance, and
the room when finished will be at
tracively homclike.
Mr.. Dawson assumes possession Of
the room on April first and expects
to have things in readiness by the
twentieth of the month
The tables will accommodate about
one hundred at time, besides the
fact that service will be more rapid
than is possible in cafe or restau~
rant.
Like other cafeterias, the place will
specialize IN home-Style cooking, and
it is Mr.. Dawson's intention to have
only the best of butter, milk, cream,
eggs, fruits. vegetables. ETC., and the
baking will be done in the cafeteria's
own ovens.
Mr. Dawson is from Oklahoma and
came to Lakeland a few weeks ago
after looking over several other cities
in the state. He decided on Lakeland

water and because prices are lover
