10 the average layman it seems so prepostcrous
and SO absolutely foolish 10 longer dly-dally with
proposition now SO plainly and buntly put that
argument is cut of the question. The Washing
ton authorities have said what shall be done in
order to put Florida on the way again as a cattle
state. No use to waste time and energy bcwaing
the decisions reached and the utimatum presented
The national government is adamant. There is
no alternative; compliance with the cdict is the
only solution of the whole matter. While figures
not available it is just possible that study of
the financial gains at stake might indicate great
saving if special session could be called and i'm

the next regular session is but year and half
distant. Another eighteen months will not bring
relief to the cattle owners on the contrary, time but
adds to their troubles and their losses and action

Florida continues to ship in from other states
enormous supplies of fresh meat while our own
home product goes without market other than

The publication in the Lakeland papers of an
exhaustive statement by City Auditor Charles H.
Williams, covering in considerable detail the pres
ent state of the citys finances and pointing out how
these conditions have arisen through the rapid ex-
pansion of the cy's territory and the consequent
need for permanent improvements, has proved in
teresting reading to those who care what becomes
of Lakeland and are sensitive about the city's
future. As previously stated in the public press,
the only solution seems to be the floating of bond
issue of 100000, which amount would enable
the city to pay off every item of current indebted
ness and start off with a clean sheet

Lake Wales has 5000 Club Lake Wales
also has five thousand loyal boosters; all of them
are not within the corporate limits but there are
enough inside and outside to form quite an ag-
gressiye army. At recent meeting of this club
there was in evidence enough pep to put over sue
cessfuly almost any worthwhile and legitimate
proposition. Those Ridge communities from
Haines City southwark to Sebring have the habit
of translating their enthusiasm into deeds II any
one doubts this statement of cold fact, the best
confirmation is trip along the Scenic Highlands
Evidences are not lacking that Lake Wales and
its sister Ridge cities are imbued with the spirit
of progressiveness without which no community
can ever amount to anything worth while Lake
Wales has not reached the FIVE thousand mark as
regards actual residents but when this club gets
into full action that goal will be reached and passed
without the least bit of trouble

The Atlantic Coast Line believes in adverts-
ing. Ever since the inauguration of the winter
schedule which brought the return OF the Tampa
Special, that famous train has been hauled by
engines of the best type on which are noticed
conspicuous signs indicating the name of the train.
The whole scheme is one worthy Of favorable COM
mcnt While throwing This modest little bouquet
to the Coast Line it might also be in order to say
that 1t would be ever nice TO say something
favorable about the condition of the railway cross
ngs in Lakeland. Recently new and heavier
rails we're put down but the job of restoring the
crossings to normal was overlooked Possibly this
was an oversight, hence the gentle hint that bou-
qucts are ever so preferable to brick bats.

Possibly nothing of local nature has created
more intense interest than the announcement that
great life insurance company, with cash assets
running up into the millions. has come 10 the con-
clusion that Lakeland is large enough and is
expanding solidly and rapidly, it would be war
ranted in placing considerable sums of money here
for use by those desiring to own their own homes.
those who have been working on this project
state that before recognition of this nature can be
obtained, the city must have population of len
thousand or more and be of the progressive type
backed by unquestioned natural resources Lake
land has evidently met all tests and has come up
to the required standard. Anyway, it is now a
certainty that within year there will be available
enormous sums of money for home building. This
new program will in TO wise retard the good work
started by the local building and loan organization
but will add zest to the general movement toward.

Figures compiled by the Chamber of Com

of automobiles are bringing larger numbers of
visitors than ever and it would not be surprising
if the next two weeks would about even things up.

pulse of the progressive spirit is the Eustis Lake
Region which has just blossomed out as full

prosperity and satisfaction with its conditions. We
wish it abundant success in its venture.

strangers to Wallace Reid and he is
quite at home in his role of an i'm
pecunious artist in Rent Free" his
new Paramount picture which comes
to the Grand theatre, March 10 and
20.
In the picture, which is by Mann
Page and Izola Forester Page, with
an adaptation by Elmer Rice, Mr..
Reid is an impecunious artist who
takes to the roof tops because he
can't pay any rent. He goes down
an open scuttle and takes possession
of an empty home. Later he meets
the girl who has lived there with her
father and stepmother till the for
mer's death. The will disowns her
in favor of the stepmother and she
is left to shift for herself. But the
artist finds a secret message which
proves there is a later will in favor
of the girl and helps her to attain
her rights and wins her love-

"a VIRGIN PARADISE"

"A Virgin Paradise" will come to
the Liberty theatre, March Is.
The scenes include the destruction
If tropic island by volcanic erup-
tion with the death of the entire
nopulation except two persons. The
survivors on the island are the in
FAINT daughter of a missionary, Gratia
Latham, and her native nurse. The
nurse dies while Gratia is still a
child, and she lives on with only
lions, apes and other wild animals
as her companions.
The death of an uncle in New York
leaves Gratia heir to $4,000, 900,
and then relatives charter a ship and
90 in search for her. She is taken
to the Long Island home, where she
finds it difficult to adapt her half
savage nature to the requirements
of her radically altered condition in
life. Least of all can she submit
tamely to the purpose of a young
man of the family to marry her for
her millions. Her way of resenting
his unwelcome attentions is worthy
of her upbringing as the associate
and companion of wild beasts.

CAT THE END OF THE woRLDn

One of the most unusual roles ever
seen in a motion picture is that por-
trayed by Betty Compson, new Para
mount star, in her first starring vehi-
Gle, "At the End of the World, F"
which will be seen at the Grand the
atre March 23 and "a,
Miss Compson is seen as Cherry, "
the beautiful daughter of broken
down Englishman who runs cafe
and gambling palace in Shanghai,
China. She grows up in the atmos-
phere of the gay resort, serving as
a lure for her fathers establishment,
yet taking perfect care of herself and
possessing fine qualities that are still
dormant. Then comes romance, and
into this romance breaks the emo
lions of the lives of other men who
are made desperate by her charms.
The role is a severe test Of the emo
tional powers of an actress, and Miss
Compson is said to have executed 1t
with the same skill and in the same
convincing manner in which she por-
trayed her exacting part in Gearge

LOSE TO o. A. G. AT CORVALLIS

The first intercollegiate debate of
the year, held in the auditorium Sat

negative of the question: Resolved,
That the principle of the closed shop
should be applied to American indus
tries" The o. A. G. men, Clay Mil
Ter and Chester Merklen, argued the
affirmative. At the same time, the
w. S. c. affirmative team, Charles
McGlade and Rex Turner, lost a 2

men at Corvallis.
The debate was one of the most in

Pullman Thirty-three Years Ago

On Monday last affairs of Whit
man county passed into new corps
of officers, as follows: J. H. Nc

j. j, Larwood, auditor: j. G. Turner,
present deputy; James S. Clark,
treasurer; w. ~ Ruby. probate

superintendent; F. p. Mesick, county
surveyor, reelected; L. H. Plattor,
prosecuting attorney; II. M, Boone,
assessor; w. NJ. Lee, ]. M. Hill and
James Logan, county commissioners.
A meeting was held in the Stewart
building Wednesday evening to per-
feet the organization of fire depart
ment and hook and ladder company.
A constitution and bylaws were pre-
scented by T. l.. Munroe and adopted
and the following officers were elect
ed: M. S. Philips, president; Thos.
NELL, secretary; NJ. c. True, treasur-
er; W. V. Windus, John Henry and
A. B. Owens, trustees; T. l.. Munroe,
chief engineer; A. NJ. Kirkwood,
foreman; j. T. Fariss, first assistant;
Victor Hunziker, second assistant.
A number of petitions against the
proposed tax levy for a new court
house and Jail are being circulated
throughout the county and are re-
ceiving signatures by the hundreds
from our taxpayers. The sentiment
seems to be decidedly feminist" the
levy at this time, a fact that the
commissioners will do well to note
carefully.
w. V. Windus has been appointed
school director for the Pullman dis
trict, in place of Silas Prather, whose
term has expired.
R. Lanning has sold his spraying
outfit to Messrs. Hunt and Owens,
and, in partnership with Irwin Rice,
has purchased the Grand Street livery
stable from Marcus Nodine. They
propose to fit it up in first-class
shape.

Miller Opens Argument

Mr.. Miller opened the discussion
for the affirmative by tracing the rise
of trade unions and showing the ne
cessity of collective bargaining.
Mr., Lindsey took up the negative
introduction to prove that the closed
shop is wrong in principle, inefficient
and no solution of the labor prob
lem. Mr.. Merklen followed by furth-
er advancing and concluding the
main contentious of the affirmative.
The turning point in the debate
came in the final negative speech
when Fred Weller advanced the shop
council with government regulation
as a substitute for the closed shop.
The affirmative debaters failed to
find sufficient refutation for the fl
nal arguments of the w. S. G. men,
but fought every inch of the ground.
Despite their obvious ability they
were bested in delivery, teamwork,
logic and expression.
More than anything else the de-
feat Of the Aggies was probably due
to their policy of generalizing.
Something new in forensic con-
tests was introduced by Mr.. Reeid.
The debaters all appeared in full
dress suits, which lent noticeable
atmosphere to the occasion.
By virtue of their victory, the win
ners will receive a $25 prize, offered
by the oratory and debate depart
ment.
