have We.

You must cough and sneeze while the
leafless trees
Lock dismal and brown in the wide
outdoors;
You must carefully wrap and muffle
your throat
Lest you catch your death"
through unguarded pores.
But under a sun whose summary rays
Bring welcome warmth, not cold
catch we;
We gather wild flowers in the wintry
days
Oh, our climate is best in the world,
you see.
And when it is hot as a seething pot
In the northern land, you must hide
away
To mountain or sea, to seek relief
From the roasting night and the
broiling day.
But we sit serene in our orange
bowers
Through the summer hours in this
South ccuntrie.,
For the earth is cooled by our daily
showers;
On, the climate the best in the
world have We.
Bonnie Lake
When fercely beats the summer sun
And neither moss nor leaf is stirred,
When kline stand meath the shading

And in the thicket hides the bird
Then to thy shore my way l take,
And plunge beneath thy ripping

And find new strength, o, Bonnie
Lake,
While in thy cooling flood 1 lave.

LAKELAND EVENING TELEGRAM SATURDAY. FEBRUARY IT, 1922

The Highlands and many lakes as
well as a river of considerable size
within the city's territory have made
it one of the best known citrus fruit
sections of the state.
Remodeling Of old and contemplate
cd new buildings are much in evil
dence.
A modern automatic telephone sys-
TEN has lately been installed, the
Reho Drug Co., new business which
sells it's goods in all the Southern
States; prominence as a lumber city
selling anything from rough lumber
to orange boxes or novelty work, be-
coming also a wholesale business
center and thus the list might be
heightened.
A survey of the further activities OF
the city is clearly stated in a recent
review by the city's thriving semi
weekly paper, The Polk County Rec
ord, which is found under heading of
Facts and Figures About Barlow, in
this issue.
A decidedly progressive step for tho
betterment and growth of the city
was taken recently when the citizens
voted the commission form of govern
ment with a city manager, to take ef-
feet March 9TH. at the expiration of
the present term OF the city council.
The three commissioners who will
take their office on this date arr
Messrs. L. A. Lightsey, r. B. HUFF
faker and Leon Hebb, who then will
appoint the city manager. This to-
gether with the reorganization and
Strengthening of the Board of Trade
will put Barlow much in evidence in
the coming future
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1922-02-18

uniform beauty that can be obtained
only after great care and skill is ex-
pended by men of unusual architec-
tural ability.
Barlow citizens, many Of whom are
natives OF Polk county and this state,
are broad minded, moral, religious,
and noted for their hospitality and
congenial disposition, rather
than money is the price of admission
to Barlow society. The population of
5000 progressive people shows an in
crease of SIG per cent over the past
ten years.
A Woman's Club fraternal organiza-
tions, music clubs and professional
clubs are great aids to the city's well
fare to which has been added within
the last year a live Boy Scout organ
ization with two troops of 80 each
under the leadership Of Messrs. w. P.
Read and r. Borden Wilson who
recognize in the boys of today the lead
ing business men of tomorrow.
The Give Service" motto is carried
out by the boys assisting in all pub
lie functions for the betterment CT
the city, and their recreation centers
in the summer camping trips. To be
eligible to the trip this summer all
boys must have passed the second
class scout test.
Though Barlow makes no preten-
sions of being a tourist resort its
visitors during the winter season
number into thousands, lured by a
delightful climate, opportunity of be-
ing much in the open air and parti-
cipation, of those who desire, in fish
ing and hunting in the many nearby
lakes, fields and woods; automobiling
On the hard surface reads and of ac-
cess TO the country club one mile out
near Eagle Lake with a golf course
in excellent condition, tennis court
and bathing resorts.
Kissengen Springs, large Jasin Of
crystal clear water placed among
beautiful shade trees. has a tempera-
ture of 70 degrees all the year, which
gives to the bather a most exhilerat-
ing and invigorating feeling. The &C
COMMUNICATIONS mere lot Weeh-euu
camping excursions. pavilion, dance
hall and picnic grounds, make this
one of the most frequented play
places of the city.
Near Barlow is located the largest
irrigated truck farm in Florida. The
crops most successfully grown are
lettuce, English peas. cabbage, string
beans, celery, squash, cucumbers,
eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, onions,
watermelons, irish and sweet potatoes,
this city and vicinity shipping annu-
ally nearly two thousand cars of vege-
tables. Not only SO. but stock rails
ing, poultry and bee culture results
are surprising; the Meadowoak dairy
and others modernly equipped,
whence the city milk supply from
pure-bred, prize-winning Jerseys.
Registered large herds of Duroc hogs.
a drove of imported thoroughbred
Arabian horses are indications that
Barlow is destined to, be one of tbs
leading live stock, dairy and poultry
farming sections of the United States.

INTERESTING HISTORY OF
ONE OF OLDEST CITIES
IN SOUTH FLORIDA
Continued From Page ~

Back in the year 1866 when the
broad minded, public spirited Jacob
Summerlin donated the sight for the
county seat, he also set apart forty
acres for a school site and twenty
acres each to the Methodist and Bap-
tist church that had comparatively
large following by that time. The
first school was a frame building 20
by 40 feet and know then as the Old
Summerlin Institute which in place
today stands three separate substan-
tial brick buildings that house the
Barlow public schools costing approx
imately $4,000. The new high school,
equipped with $4,000 laboratory, a
modern gymnasium and well fitted
department of home economics, an eff
flcient faculty Of twenty-five teachers
and standard of 16 units required
for graduation, compares favorably
with any school of present day, mod
ern type. Another attractive feature
of the town and a great aid to the
school is the handsome $4,000 Car
negie Library.
"a city is known by its mark, and
N,
or Board of Trade" once remarked a
noted community builder, and Bar
tow can truthfully boast of live and
progressive Board of Trade with the
ability to do things and which re-
Gently appointed a committee of four,
G. Edwin Walker, chairman, j. For
rest Coldwell, S. L. Holland, H. l..
Wilson, to compile in book form the
latest information concerning the
city, now in the hands of the pub
Usher and in which will appear these
facts this story is permitted to carry,
and many more of great interest to
the public.
Miles and miles of concrete side
walks and asphalt paved streets,
shaded with great oaks, to which adj
ditions are frequently made, give
Barlow the we'll earned reputation OF
being one Of the best paved and clean
est cities in the State and cause it to
be known as the "City of Oaks
Few cities the size Of Barlow can
boast of being so well equipped with
public utilities, built, owned and OPP
Grated by the city government The
municipal electric light and power
plant equipped with Diesel engines
using fuel oil, produces all the cleo
trio current for lighting purposes and
a surplus of power which is supplied
at a reasonable rate to local indus
tries ard to the hundred CT acres OF
irrigated truck farms adjacent to the
city. From the same power plant
water is supplied to the city for al
purposes including home use, indus
tries and fire fighting.
Barlow is acknowledged by all a:
possessing more public building:
than any other city of its size in tn;
state and it may be truthfully said
that every one of the buildings are sc
designed that it fits into the land
scape upon which it is situated in d
manner that gives to the city that
