CHASE, Eminent Commander. C. E. McMULLEN, Recorder. A big improvement is added to the city of Lakeland today by the com- pletlon this afternoon of the asphalt drive around Lake Morton. By to morrow the drive will be open for traffic, and a delightful spin may be taken around this lake, where hereto fore there has been only a very im perfect sandy road. With the completion of this drive there is brought prominently to the public's attention the possibilities for park purposes offered by the shores of this lovely lake, which now lies not far from the center of the city. There is much that might be done if means were available; but in the meantime, considerable improvement that will add to the beauty of the scenery, and the pleasure and com fort of all, may be effected, with on ly a small outlay. With this In view, Commissioner O'Steen and S. F. Wilkinson, super intendent of parks have been confer ring, and they hope to interest all who own property around the lake.. and others who desire to have some thing done for the generul beautlflca tiou of the city, in some plans for Immediate improvement. This would embrace the setting of palm trees at proper intervals, along the drive, with water oaks for shade at ouch points where they would not obstruct the view from the streets, and where they ' would fit Into an attractive scheme. At tn early date Commis sioner O'Steen desires to have a meeting of these property owners and other Interested persons, to ex plain tho Ideas already advanced and to bring out others; and notice of this meeting will be given In this paper. In a short time work will be pushed on tho'drivo around Lake Wire, and it is planned to organize a similar association of the property owners and citizens interested In beautifying the suroundlngs of that lake.

We put In at Brest. France. and I had only three hours liberty or shore leave. I don't like France an well as I do the good old "United States," but it is undoubtedly an In teresting country. I'd like to visit Paris. I enlisted in the Navy only for the duration of the war, and now that the war is over, (although official peace has not been declared) I'm more than willing to leave for home. The service is real nice but I like civilian life even better.
