Central Location Means Prosperous
Hotel


Lakeland is one city that should
have centrally located a disable hotel
for the travelling public. by disable l
mean real hotel with full service,
yet not the ultra class alone, but one
that gives the travelling public full
service at disable prices.
1T is not my experience that Lake
land has lacked good fair hotel sery-
ice, but | would urge the necessity for
u new modern equipped house as the
one best move for Lakeland in its for
ward progress. Lakeland has not and
does not now realize her great advan-
tage as Il railroad center, simply ac-
cepts it, and when attention is called
to it, admits it.
a new hotel at Lakeland properly
advertised win help more than any
thing else to demonstrate the facts
regarding Lakeland's great advantage
over almost any city in the state. !
can see it no other way, and trust
your splendid efforts to build a new
hotel will be rewarded"

Hotel for Lakeland

Expressions of opinion from people
who know" are always valuable. In
ease oil this new hotel. they are spec
tally important and worthy OF consider
alton because hotels are designed for
the convenience of the outsider, and
IL IS his reaction TO the hotel facilities
OF a city that often make or mar that
city.
We have gathered together few
very pertinent comments on the value
OF hotels 10 a community, and the ne
Ccssity Tor more ample hotel accom-
mCdatiOns here. These comments are
from people who assuredly know
whereof they speak, Tor they come
from the editors and publishers Ol
hotel magazines. from experts ON no
tel affairs and ON tourists, from hotel
managers and from the secretaries OF
various Chambers of Commerce in
Florida who have recognized the need
OF and been Instrumental in obtaining
new hotels for their own cOmmuni-
ties.
These men speak with the voice OF
authority, and their testimony is in
tercsting not only for the TACT that one
and all emphatiCally endorse the new
hotel project. here, but because they
shed many valuable side-lights on the
effect that adequate hotel facilities
will have on the general growth and
prosperity OF this city.
\ wave Of prosperity Is coming all
over tie country. Such men as Roger
Babson, the famous statistiCian, and
Eugene Meyer managing director OF
the War Finance Corporation, declare
it. Conservative magazines like the
Manufacturers Record admit it. he
New York Times not long ago carried
financial editorial stating that
money was never more plentiful than
now.
No better time for bulldog could
have been chosen than the present.
Building activities are increasing ali
over the country every day. Regard
ing what building such as this new
hotel means to city, S. W. Straus OF
S. ". Straus & Co., says, "A new
building is the symbol OF progress be-
cause in its construction there is in
volved substantially every line OF
trade and industry as well as in
creased land values - the vicinity
where it is built"
The Hotel Bulletin, i, editorial
of their June issue, SAYS -,oOd no
tel means everything ~ u city; the
social, political and business life of
any progressive community center
around its hotel. In its bali rooms
are held the social functions; around
the banquet table men meet and get
to know each other better, smoothing
out their differences; in the meeting
rooms groups of men with different
ideas and opinions gather and crystal
ize these into actiOn-all for the
towns improvements and advance
ment A good hotel is Il great insti-
tuition. 1t does as much and more for
the city than any other business and
when a town has Il good hotel it ought
to encourage it, spend money in it
and be proud of it,"
Concerning the Importance of this
new hotel to Lakeland. the following
excerpts speak for themselves, both
from the point of view of the local
citizens and outsiders. Lakeland is al
ready an attractive city. but it needs
this hotel to make it even more so.

Union Jack Fails to Fly on Dublin

Tri-coIor.

Dublin.--The celebrations OF st.
Pntrlck's day throughout southwest
Ireland were marked by several fe,,-
lures denoting the change in status of
Ireland The flying of the Union Jack
at Dublin castle, which since 1900 had
been an impressive ceremony of the
day of lreland's patron saint, for the
first time was omitted.
Instead, there was trOoping and
the blessing of the Republican tri-color
at Marlborough hail. which was trans
ferred some time ago by the crown
forces to the Irish Republican army.
There were present at the ceremony
many members of the Irish general
staff, including Mucahy, minister of
defense, and Owen O'Duffy, chief of
staff of the Irish Republican army.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
Griffith Is Abused.
The general use of the Gaelic lam
guage in the churches and at political
gatherings was another striking fea-
ture. In Dublin the only meetings
held were the anti-treaty. The largest
of these was Mt HurOld's Cross. 1t was
addressed by Countess Markievicz.
Erskine Childers, and others. There
were only 400 persons in attendance,
and among them were signs of dissent
from the sentiments of the speakers.
Mr. Childers. who predicted that
''hOrdes of the savage auxiliaries"
formerly in Ireland would be en-
ployed to coerce and torture Englund's
subject races in Mesopotamia and
Palestine, declared that during the
treaty negotiations in London Winston
Spencer Churchill, the imperial secre-
tary for the colonies, desired to get
the position of the navy settled in adj
anvce of the treaty because Mr.. Child
ers said, ''he didn't want to have tc
treat Ireland, in the event OF war; by
brute force, as Belgium was treated

China, $500 men from Hawaii, about
1000 men from the Panama canal
zone and all but 500 officers and men
in the army of occupation on the
