a year ago it was only four dollars and

will continue to climb upwards, many

BIOGRAPHY PARTY FOR MISS
HARRELL AND THE MISSES
CAMP

Another delightful party was added
to the list of those given in honor of
Misses May and Ella Camp and Ethel
Harrell, Friday night, when Mrs. c. C.
Todd gave a real biography party for
them. Besides the honor guests Mrs.
Todd's guests included only a few of
the special friends of these young la
dies, and one or two of her own most
intimate friends among the young peo-
pie.
The three attractive honor guests
were very prettily gowned in light par
ty frocks. and were gay, animated and
charming.
Mrs. Todd had prepared the leaves
for three books, which were to con-
tain the biographies of the two Miss
Camps and Miss Harrell. Each guest
was given one subject in the lives of
these young girls, about which they
were to write short sketch. Scis-
sors, water colors, pencils and.maga-
zines were provided in plenty, so that
the sketches could be illustrated eth
er with original drawing or with illus
trations cut from the magazines.
For an hour or two, amid the most
delightful surroundings, and while en-
j0ying themselves to the limit, laugh
ing over the ridiculous, clever and in
teresting results evolved from their
active and versatile brains, these
young people. as they expressed it.,
had an awful lot of fun" When COM
pleted, these wonderful productions
were bound together with pink, blue
and red ribbons into exceedingly pref
ty hand-painted covers, and they will
prove very unique as we'll as a most
amusing souvenir of one of their hap
Ply evenings while in Ocala.
Mrs. Todd also presented as favors
to each of the honor guests an exceed
ingly pretty silk work bag in the col
ors, pink, blue and red, that were used
all during the evening.
The hostess was assisted by Miss
Florence Bettman and Mrs. John Tay-
lor, and after the biographies were
written and several games played,
chicken salad, olives, waters, ETC.,
were served to the guests.
Those who were present at Mrs
Todd's biography party were the fol-
lowing: Misses May Camp, Ella
Camp, Ethel Harrell, Alta Pearson,
Bessie Smith, Mary Burford, Eugenia
Fuller, Betty Wray McIver, Hope Rob-
inson, Mary Conner. Messrs. Frank

COURAGEOUS RECON HMENDA-
TION


Secretary Meyer deserves commenda-
tion for his courage in recommending
that Congress provide an entertainment
fund for officers of the navy. The lack
of such a fund is an evil of the proper
tiOns of which the public has had little
conception. Mr.. Meyer says: "It has
"lOng been recognized as a crying in
"juStice to our higher ranking naval Of
"ficerS that they are compelled to spend
"some part of their pay for entertain
"ment which has no other purpose than
''to uphold the dignity Of the govern
"ment."
1t has been recognized as an injustice
by all familiar with the facts, hut they
are comparatively few. The Secretary
need not have limited his reference to
the higher ranking officers" for under
existing conditions the burden fails
also on those of lesser rank. II not to
an equal amount, at least as heavily I'm

feet to foreign ports are usually OF

taken as an affront. hut its return in.

Some years ago, when the American

visited the several vessels. Fitting enter

Conspicuous among these is the sub

give for the sake of or with the eXpec-
tation of receiving thanks. In very
many cases the gifts are incapable OF
being the subject Of adequate thanks.
Particularly is that true of the endoW-
ments for which gratitude is expressed
on Thanksgiving Day, and It Is recog-
milton Of this fact that makes so many
utterances on that day ring hollow.
The essential thing to be remembered
IS the subjective rather than the objec-
tive usefulness Of thanks. They are
offered to benefit not those 10 whom
they are addressed. but those who offer
them. It is the inculcation of a spirit
Of gratitude, and, therefore, Of good
cheer. that is TO be promoted by giving
thanks. The man who is habitually and
temperamentally thankful naturally
looks for causes for thankfulness. That
Is to say. he looks for good things in
life rather than for evils and misfort-
rnes. and that habit, faithfully main
tanned. is certain to result not only in
the recognition OF the predominance OF
good over evil, but also in the actual
enhancement Of the good. 1t is thus
not merely as time Of gratitude that
Thanksgiving Day is properly to be Oh
served, but also as a time in which TO

SENATOR EDNUNDS AND THE
LIGHT or REASON.

After most careful and earnest Consid-
Grafton by the Judiciary Committee nj
the Senate II was agreed by every mem
ber that It was quite impracticable to
include bv specific descriptions all the
acts which should come within the mean
ing and purposes of the words trade
and commerce or trust" or the words
restraint or "monopolze" by precise
and all-inclusive definitions. and that
these were truly matters for judicial con
sideration.
In these words ex-senator Edmunds
who wrote most of the Sherman act
and who was a member Of the exceed
ingly able judiciary Committee which
considered, put into shape and finally
reported it TO the Senate, describes the
conclusion reached as TO the possibility
of doing what Is now proposed by many
advocates of amendment TO make the
statute specific was impractical BILE, -
and that is as true to-day as it was
when Mr.. Edmunds and his associates
reached that conclusion, after most
careful and earnest consideration" The
effectiveness Of the Sherman act has
been due 10 its general language. Had
the law contained specific prohibitions,
describing the acts which should be re-
garded as vioative of its provisions,
those who were bent upon monopoly or
restraint of trade would have found
ways Of accomplishing their purpose by
getting around its real spirit and in
tent without performing the acts which
were forbidden.
When a law of this sort becomes spe-
cifc it provides the means for its own
defeat. Doubtless that was in the mind
Of the Senate Judiciary Committee when
il east the Sherman act in its present
form. Had it forbidden combinations
In the shape of trusts expressly and by
name, combinations in the shape of
holding companies would have taken
their place and been legal. And if the
committee bad mixed specific and gem
eral prohibitions together in the law
there would have been no gain from the
point Of view of those who are demand
ing that the law he so specific as To re-
1uire no interpretation The general
phrases would still remain for the
courts to pass upon. II was this neces-
