TOOLS WITH WHICH TO WORK

The Womans Club is giving earnest considera-
ton TO the matter of a new and suitable club build
ing such as will be credit to the organization and
TO the community. Other communities smaller by
far than Lakeland have attractive Woman's Club
buildings costing from $4,000 On up This is a
matter in which Lakeland is behind her sister
cities
The building of new home for the Woman's
Club is lhat interests every citizen of the COM
munly. AS was brought out by the main speaker
at Thursdays meeting, the Woman's Club stands
for the good of the community, and It's efforts
should be supported by the entire community Our
wives, daughters, sisters and mothers are trying 10
their time and talents for the coed Of all the
community. Is it fair that they should have 10
carry on their work in inadequate surroundings and
conditions?
The movement for new building will grow
The time will come when ii becomes matter of
dollars and cents When the chance comes. men
Of Lakeland, to contribute to the Woman's club, TO
lend it money or 10 buy its bonds for the new
building, let US remember that The wcmen have
never yet failed to give US iheir help and that as
we confidently expect their continued support let
us show them that they have ours

CONFUSING THE ISSUE.

The exasperating thing about the Unemployment
conference amazing discovery that idleness is a
local question, or at least problem for local
treatment, is the fact that it has a direct tendency
TO confuse the public mind at time when clear
thinking needed mere than at almost any previous
period in the history of this country.
Some people will believe it, And believing it
they will feel distinct lessenng of their sense of
responsibility for the national and world condi-
tons which have brought stagnation to American
business. That means that any set Of men that
presents a genuine remedy will be confronted with
the ever-ready argument of the stand-pat crowd,
which, unfortunately, is peculiar to no single DO
lical party, and the general inertia resulting from
divided opinion.
he armament conference, for instance, will
discuss questions closely related to the true cause
of dleness here and abroad Probably no one
thing would do more toward putting the world to
work than an agreement to quit preparing for war
Such an agreement, in France, would release mil
lion men from military duty 1t would relieve
industry OF the waste incidental to keeping mil
lion men IN arms. 1t would give that naturally
thrifty and industrious nation a chance to produce
something to sell, and thereby enable her to buy
more imports. That, of course would be strong
stimulus to The industry of America Similarly, if
Great Britain were relieved of her war burdens
1t would start revival of productive labor in the
British isles, the products of which, exchanged
Tor American goods, would start many factory
wheel to rolling
There would still remain the absolute necessity

AT THE CORNERS

l now recall, with deep detection, the accident
OF yesterday; it happened at the intersection of
Bunkum Road and Hayseed Way. Had | gone
slowly, as my pastor has urged me to, a thousand
times, there would have been fierce disaster
to swell the list of auto crimes. But was send
ing my tin Lizzie gait Lizzie ought to know
and /, alas, was far too busy to scan the land
scape, to and fro. And that bus of Hiram
Horners came scorchng to all unseen, and
we collided at the corners and rolled in burning
gasoline. I'm full of tin and grease and gravel
and as | sit here, sick and dour swear that
will never travel at more than seven miles an
hour OF course, | blame the other fellow, and
say he should be pinched and tried; it is a habit
rather yellow, wherever motorists abide And
Hiram sits in silence solemn and knows not am
telling fbs; the surgeon wired his spinal column,
and put new washers his ribs The two poor
Lizzies are mingled, void of a dividing
line, the tinsmith says he will be jingled if he
can tell me which is mine And So in gloomy
retrospection think about that CHASTITY wreck
while surgeons make close inspection of sundry
fractures in my neck. The roads are strewn with
wrecks unholy, their number never can be told;
it seems that people wont drive slowly, however
bitterly | scod.

THE NEXT STEP
(DeLand News.)

The promptness with which the proprietors of
movie film establishments have responded to the
demands of the public in the matter of securing
better conditions to the morality of their EN-
ployes is exceedingly gratifying. They have
unanimously agreed to insert clause in all con-
tracts with STARS" and all others employed in
the business as helpers, actors, etc, making them
agree to conduct themselves with due regard to
decency and good behavior. That is good. Now
let the public conscience take an advance step
and demand better class of films. Movies can
be made to serve very valuable purpose-far in
advance of anything that has ever been done
heretofore, if the public will demand it with suf
ficient emphasis.

Fort Myers needs more housing facilities, and
one of the principal methods of providing addi-

were at the high level an effort was made to or
ganize such an association, which came near be-
ing made success. We need such an organi-

SEEKS HER FREEDOM
FIGHT TO BE WAeED TO RE-
LEASE MRS. oBENcHAIN.
Husband of Woman Charged With
Kennedy Murder Loses Battle to
Obtain Letter Chest.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 1S.-A fight
TO release Mrs. Madalynne Conner

will be started when she is arraigned
before Superior Judge Reeve. Monday
1t is contended Mrs. Obenchain's
plea win be based on the claim that
jail life will ruin her health, because
Of her frail physical condition.
Should the court follow the Los An
geles precedent against bail for per-
sons charged with murder, the court
probably will transfer her from the
Jail 10 the county hospital.
Ralph 0benchain, "the modern
knight in armor," broke his first lance
and lost his first tilt in the Los An
geles courts when the prosecution,
armed with a court order, seized the
mystery trunk consigned to Madalynne
Conner Obenchain
The climax of the struggle for the
trunk, said TO contain letters and 9TH
er evidence in the romance between
Madalynne and j. Bolton Kennedy,
"the phantom lover" who was slain
was a spectacular one staged in the
lobby of the fashionable Alexandria
hotel. Moving picture stars looked on
in amszement as the states deputies
displayed some real faction"
Until midnight, Obenchain had been
attempting to secure possession of the
trunk. He made great deal of mys-
terry about its contents. 1t was known,
however. to be of the army locker
type bearing Obenchain's initials and
shipped from San Francisco.
Prosecutor Asa Keyes asked for
subpoena duces tecum and delivered
it to Undersheriff Eugene BiscaiIuse
to serve on the Alexandria hotel man.
agement. Meanwhile telephone or
der stopped the delivery of the trunk
to Obenchain. Five minutes later it
was in the hands of Prosecutor Keyes.

assistance to the railroads which
would interfere with its financing ex-
tensively the export of great products.

Huddleston charged that railroads
had flouted the government and We're
not entitled to further consideration.
The Pennsylvania railroad, he said,
had refused openly to abide by the
decision of the railroad labor board !;
the Erie railroad had sought deliber-
ately to evade the boards order by
turning the Marion (O.) repair shops
over to fictitious independent oper-
a,ing concern.

have urged house action on the rail-
road bill before the recess OF congress,
expected to be taken next Wednes-
day.
The house Republican steering COM
mittee requested Chairman Winslow
of the committee considering the bill
TO hasten action on it. Because OF
the expected opposition to the bill in
the house, Winslow and other commit
teemen favored delaying final action.
The bill authorizes the War Finance
corporation to market railroad secur-
tiles held by the government to real
ize funds for use by the railway adj
ministration in settling railroad claims.

Appleton Proposal of Fox river val
ley carpenters, who have been striking
since May 1, to return to work at the
basic pay of rs cents an hour if con-
tractors would recognize the closed
shop, was ignored by valley contrac-
tors at their meeting here. The offer
was read to contractors and promptly
tabled without discussion. The open
shop was declared in the valley May 8
after carpenters refused to accept
cut of 10 cents an hour, reducing their
scale to rs cents. Contractors declare
they are able to obtain all the men
they need at the rs cent rate. Mean
while several hundred carpenters in
the valley are idle.
