FROM OUR READERS
WHAT AND WHO ARE
THE SALVATION ARMY?
Editor Telegram:

Editor Telegram:
1t seems that after all these years
there are many who have a vague
conception, or misconccption, of what
the Salvation Army. is, and what they
stand for. This is evident by the
way the good generous people help
financially any man or woman in uni
form, and think that they must have
been helping the Salvation Army. 1t
is thought that the Salvation Army
is purely charitable organization,
and nothing else. That the religious
meetings are on the side, or just
thrown in, when really, We are first a
religious organization, and the char
ity work is made necessary by the
very character of the work we are
doing.
= l. There has never been the least
desire, from the time our founder, the
late General Booth, stood upon chair
on Mile-end Waste in London and
preached to the goddess masses of
men and women who never entered a
church door to the present time to
create another denomination. Here is
work that is outside the church.
I
know that we are not poaching on
their preserves.
2. The charity work is secondary,
but it is of the utmost importance.
You cannot preach religion to a man
with an empty stomach, and you can
I rot get women and children to attend
your meetings with clothes hardly fit
to go out in. Hence we are compelled.
10 go to the public for the means to
do this. We practice no form of bap.
tism although we do not disbelieve in
it. We just do not want to entangle
ourselves in hairsplitting doctrines.
If convert desires baptism we refer
him to the church.
3. Is the Army needed in Lake
land? is a question some times asked.
We admit Lakeland morally is ahead
Of any city we have lived in, but you
can answer this question for your.
selves by going at any time to the
park when church services are going
on. There you will. find hundreds
who are not a whit interested in re-
ligion. These are our congregation.
4. In these days of drives for
money, and when all over the land the
OdlNdIAOu ARMY 10 luCluucQ III the
drive we are not supposed to solicit
funds from the business men. And 1t
is often said to us I'VE have already
given to the drive" or ARE going to
give to the drive" We want it known
THAT THE SALVATION ARMY is
NOT INCLUDED IN THE DRIVE
FOR FUNDS IN LAKELAND, and
Lakeland is the only town where this
is not done.
S. OF course the good gentlemen of
the city can do as they please in this
respect. But we want the public to
know of it SO we will not be refused
en- that account
6. There is no one who can do the
work cheaper. Our expenses seldom
exceed ~ liz per cent. We are recon-
mended by the foremost ladies' and
gentlemen in the land, from the pres
ident down. The salaries Of the OF.
ficers are so small that business men
have said that is the only fault they
could find with the Salvation Army.
z. There is only one paid man in
Lakeland; the others give their SER
vices free. A. S. PETERS,
Envoy In Charge.

SATURDAY NIGHT

What a busy world! We face lfes tasks
week by week, often persuading ourselves that
with the week ahead of us we shall be able to
accomplish much And so the days go by, one
by one, and again we wake to realization that
it is Saturday Night Then we retract our steps
just seven days, step by step, and if we wise
we make note of the mistakes, of the failures, of
the shortcomings, of the things we might have done
but failed to do. of the hasy word, of the thought
less act of the joys, of the sorrows-we take them
all into account and try to profit mentally and
spiritually by these individual items of experience
we are pleased to term life" Some one has writ
ten these lines:

Lake Wales is to be congratulated on efectmg
a sale of the bonds to the amount of 100000
issued short time ago for the paving of approx
mately thirteen miles of streets in the municipality
of Lake Wales. The price brought was SO. Work
is to be commenced as soon as the necessary ma
teral can be secured. 1t is worthy of note that a
Polk county firm of contractors was awarded the
contract and much of the labor will be performed
by Polk county residents The expenditure of
this large amount of money during the summer
will greatly stimulate business. AS the Lake
Wales Highlander puts it. Keep your eye on
Lake Wales"

Prospects for some kind of soldier bonus legis-
lation are none too bright The administration has
discarded the cash bonus proposal so that the
whole matter is up in the al" and nobody seems
to know what is going to happen next The obvious
thing to do is to find out some way by which the
world war veterans can be paid without drawing
the money from the United States treasury. That
is the brilliant suggestion thrown out by admins
tration circles. The old trick of making square
plug fit a round hole. Truth of the matter is,
the government naturally does not want to impose
additional tax burdens on the country at this
time of financial stress but the big problem pre-
sentng itself is how to raise the funds in some
other way.

A notable event of the week locally has been
the meeting of the trustees of Southern College.
held in Lakeland for the purpose of opening bids
for the construction CT the college buildings that
to be erected on the college site on the north
shore Of Lake Holngsworth. While no decision
has been reached, pending a further consideration
of the plans and specifications with view to some
alterations. this much is certain that the plant
will represent an outlay of considerably more than
half million dollars even in its initial stages.
The most optimistic Of optimists cannot say what
Southern will be in ten years except this. that
Lakeland will ever rejoice over the acquisition of
this great educational institution. With building
operations we'll under way within month or two,
there will be much employment in the various
building trades; the pay roll incidental to construc-
ton work will be real help in business concerns
throughout the spring. summer and autumn.

In this weeks world suryey-tAere are several
outstanding events Little as we may realize it,
because the scene of the happening is far across
the sea, there is much of significance in the news:
that the government of Great Britain has decided
to grant Independence to Egypt as an Egyptian
free state on much the same basis as that accorded
Ireland in the new treaty recently given its second
reading in parliament So far as local matters
are concerned. Egypt is to have free hand. The
only reservation is that as part of the British
empire, Egypt must not be despoiled of her riches
ard her wealth, her commerce must be kept open
to the world, and the International status of the
Suez canal maintained. The new arrangement
will afford to the Egyptian Nationalist party an
opportunity to develop the country along their
own lines and without Interference; it will provide
a way to work cut to successful elimination ma
tional aspirations thai may bring into being new
Egypt. Always there will be that romance of
antiquity to add interest to whatever happens in
this land of The Pharaoks

Europe was all excited this week over the mar
riage of Princess Mary only daughter Of King
George V and Queen Mary. to Lord Lasceles.
1t was brilliant event, was to be expected
because ii came as sort of reaction as the one,
big, outstanding social happening since the close
Of the world war. London gave its approval
and its cheers. the slums joining hands with the
elect in acclaiming Princess Mary good fel-
low" But there is another aspect to this wedding
that so far has net been emphasized 1t is this,
that diplomacy or expediency had nothing to do
with what was really and truly a genuine love
match Nine times out of ten royal marriages, in
past years, were planned with due deliberation
for the purpose of forming new alliances between
countries suspicious of one another SO that there
might be some sort of binding tie Of sentiment suf-
hciently strong to insure peace and amity. Some
times the groom or the bride were nothing but
spies placed in ether royal households to ascertain
what might be happening to the advantage or dis
advantage of those countries interested. Plot and
intrigue were the order Of the day, often resulting
in bloody wars in which the masses of the people
were but pawns How times have changed; at

That seems to be sane philosophy since it teaches
lesson of humility and contentment, something

In figures it looks like this-$444.0 00 spelled

thousand dollars. This is the total cash re-
turn to date received by the strawberry growers
of the Plant City section for their crop of winter
strawberries. shipped to Northern and Western
markets. If you want to know as to quantity,
the total shipments up to last Monday amounted
to l.273.245 quarts That is goodIy sum Of
