WINTER TOUR
ALREADY PROMISED

WINTER TOUR
ALREADY PROMISED
ut is with great deal of pleasure
that we learn of the new hotel project
in Lakeland, and we sincerely trust
this hotel will be completed by next
December, so that our annual tour to
Florida may be booked with it.
''The writer knows Florida thor
oughly, and it goes without saying
that Lakeland, being one of the finest
cities in that state, should have
hotel suitable to meet the needs of the
travelling public. We quite sincerely
believe this hotel will be one of Lake
lands greatest assets, and while here
tofore our company have always
scheduled their tours through Lake
land, without any stop, the fact that
you are building such a hotel there
will be sufficient reason why our per-
ed to Lakeland in the future for a
permanent night control.
'In all of the touring letters leaving
our Offices for the past several years
to persons interested in the center or
west of Florida, we have always rec
commended a direct trip from Orlando
to Tampa, but now with Lakeland's
many natural beauties, and with a
modern, up to date hotel to receive
our tourists, we shall be pleased dur
ing next fall and winter to recommend
) Lakeland to all tourists as their head
quarters.
MAS soon as the literature of your
hotel is printed it might be well to
send us a supply to our Boston office
TO be distributed to our touring bureaus
located in Montreal. Albany, New
York, and Indianapolis, besides the
one we maintain here in Boston"

Some Reasons Why That
New Hotel Must be Built
New and Prospective Business for the
Hotel That Present Facilities
Do Not Warrant

New and Prospective Business for the
Hotel That Present Facilities
Do Not Warrant
l. Larger number of travelling sales
men will stop here as business gets
back to normal.
2. Larger number will stop here
with improved hotel facilities, sample
rooms, etc.
3. Larger number will travel out of
Lakeland, as Lakeland increases as a
jobbing center.
4. Touring parties in winter that do
not now stop here will do so.
5. Lakeland can then go after con-
ventions, both state, sectional and ma
tional.
6. Hotel operator will likely be a
man who operates a summer tourist
hotel north or east, and who can bring
ere as winter guests people who do
not come here now.
Z. Weather tourists and winter
home seekers can be brought here
who will not come now.
Other Advantages on New Hotel
l. Increase in all down town real
estate values.
2. More extensive buying Of real es-
tate next winter by visitors who see
the hotel under construction-means
greater stability.
3. By the city acquiring the Audi
forum and identifying Lake Mirror,
it will mean that another and more
attractive theater will be built
4. 1t will stimulate building through
out the city.
5. 1t will turn into the channels of
trade among the merchants pay
roll Of STA, and correspondingly turn
into the banks larger deposits, and
help the merchants in lowering their
loans at the banks.
6, 1t will relieve all unemployment
in the city of Lakeland.

UNEMPLOYMENT
SHOWS DECREASE
Real Evidence Of Coming
Prosperity Seen, Says De-
partment Of Labor.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 5.-Un-
employment decreased sharply in the
United States during January the de-
partment of labor reported today and
forty out of siNty-five cities and indus
trial ccntcrs had AZ per cent more
workers on payrolls January 81 than
December 81. The calculation was
made from the reports of 1,42S concerns
normally employing more than 500 peo-
Pile each. Nearly all industries, outside
of steel, textiles and railroads in
creased their forces. In Detroit. CEN
ter Of tho automobile industry the in
crease was 500 per cent in Sioux city.
Iowa, 81 per cent and in San Francisco
14S.
Denver showed the largest decrease
In employment with a drop of 43.1 in
the number OF employed per cent during
the month.
While the results fail to give any
indication OF the substantial improve
ment In business activities predicted
for January" the report said the in
crease In the employment in metal pro-
ducts other than iron and steel and
miscellaneous industries is the cncour-
aging feature.
1.-The feeling that there will be de-
cided change for the better by early
spring is manifested everywhere and
seems to be based ON real evidence OF
prosperity and not mere optimism.

When their animals dropped dead the
families walked on, always hoping food

But the country districts have no
grain, or If peasant families have a
small portion they conceal 1t in an ef-
fort to prolong their Ilves until an
other crop is harvested. In tho larger
towns there is food for sale at fabu-
lous prices but the starving refugees
have neither money nor goods to ex-
change and can only sit down to await
death or drudge on until they fall
The bodies that lie along the rail-
roads arc collected on cars and hauled
to centers where they are piled in
frozen, snow covered heaps to await

garments from the dead SO that the
frozen bodies are nude when collected.
Families drift apart and wonder aim
lcssly on to their inevitable fate. HUI

little better than beasts. The city and
town populations are so hardened to
suffering that they are little moved by
