Simplicity Pays.

You know that man who assumes
superior airs, talks patronizingly Of
others, manages to squeeze in quite a
dictionary of words in his ordinary
talk and conversation, and does not
seem TO understand the value Of sim
plicity? OF course you do.
Several men met in front of the
Bank Inn the other day, and imme-
diately got into the deep waters of
political debate.
And now" said the principal speak
er, pompously, after an eloquent flow
of language, perhaps you will coin
eide with me-"

SOMETIMES NEED ISOLATION
Best of Human Qualities frequently
Come to the Front Under Such
Circumstances.

Many great human qualities come
to their best in a life OF comparative
isolation. a big tree, an oak or an elm,
standing out in an open field has
,cughness Of fiber, spread of boughs
and roundness of shape that are never
seen IN a tree that stands in the
woods. So people ct individuality by
being much alone. They become self
reliant, more relying on themselves.
They gain clear opinions by thinking
things over, and thinking them out to
their necessary conclusion. They &C
quire infiexibility of purpose by fac
ing obstacles and conquering them.
The pioneers of our country and the
fathers Of the republic were such men.
The projectors Of great undertakings
carried through triumphantly have &C.
quired their power in this way. The
country is the natural nursery of such
qualities. People are wanted on the
farms to raise corn and grow stock
for the markets; but they are wanted
there far mare for the training of man
hood and womanhood in moral worth,
in religious sensibility, in all the traits
Of a strong, upright personality. In the
future as never heretofore, our cities,
with their multiplying wealth and Law
ish luxury, are likely to need the coun-
try for that steady renewal of their
better life which shall keep them from
relaxing into sensuality and sinking
into decay.

JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
Which is Better-Try an Exeperi
ment or Profit by an Ocala
Citizens Experience

Something new is an experiment.
Must be proved to be as repre-
scented.
The statement of a manufacturer
is not convincing proof of merit
But the endorsement of friends is.
Now supposing you had bad
back,
A lame, weak, aching one,
Would you experiment?
You will read of many so-called
cures.
Endorsed by strangers from far
away places.
1t is different when the endorse
ment comes from home.
Easy to prove local testimony.
Read this Ocala case:
T. T. Hadden, 1912 Orange Ave.
Ocala, Fla, says: MY kidneys did
not do their work as they should and
lameness and soreness across my

THE GREAT PARADOX

 The huge war now raging in Europe IS the inevitable outcome of the unsymmetrl- cal deyelopment of the mind of man. Per haDs the leading country of the world Tn the sciences and the arts is Germany. Ger tainIy the leading country in the world m developing an aggressive and mlhtarlSt pol icy s Germany. She is at once the most enlightened and the most reactlonary ot tke greater nations of the earth. She IS, above all other countries, the hvlng emb0dl- ment Cf that monstrous paradox we call the advancement of science. Our progress Tn the control of nature for the benefit of man. kind has been equaled only by the splen- did intelligence with which we have per fected means of staying one another We learn how to abolish a disease and s!mul- taneously invent a dreadnought. As sclen- tific men, while half of US work for the establishment of heaven upon earth, the other half strengthens the possibilities of an increasingly ghastly hell, We approach the millennium and ArmegeddOn along parallel reads.
 This towering paradox will now be re solved. The destructive half of mankind have beaten their brethren in the race. The war lords triumph over the apostles Of peace For the moment the serVlce ot the devil takes precedence over the service of God. But only for the moment Clever and energetic as they have been, the destroyers have hot been clever and energetic enough, Tie foundations of peace are too firmly lad.

THE CAROLINE ISLANDS

The Caroline islands, reported to have been captured by the Japanese from the Germans are large archipelago in the North Pacific ocean, between attitudes 3 and 12 degrees north and longitudes l32 and l63 degrees minutes east lying between the Philippines and the Marshall islands. The area of the group is about 560 miles. The inhabitants number about 35,000, of va rous races In 1886 the islands were an nexed by the Spaniards Previous to that time they had been held by the Portuguese. Spain took little active interest in them un til 1885, when the German flag was raised over the island of Tap. A serious dispute followed this act, and the question being submitted to the pope as arbitrator he de cided in favor of Spain, reserying special trade privileges to Germany. In 1899 Ger many purchased from Spain for about S3,300,000 the Caroline and Pelew islands and all of the Ladrones but Guam, which had been ceded to the United States after the Spanish-American war.
