WOMAN,S IMPROVEMENT CLUB
HAS GOOD MEETING AT DANA

The Woman's improvement club OF
Dana was called to order by the pres
ident, Mrs. R. H. Scadin Saturday al
the regular meeting and several sub
jects of Importance were discussed
by the members.
The main subject was, "Our Great
est Need" Mrs. H. G. Justus led the
discussion, advancing many reasons
why the fathers and mothers should
keep their children in school. She
said that many of the children of the
| neighborhood were kept at home to
pull fodder and do many other little
things and that the parents could very
easily do without the aid of the little
fellows.
Mrs. E. B. Freeman followed Mrs.
Justus as follows:
eve all realize that education is
one of the greatest needs of our coun-
try, but how many of us are concern
ed about the moral welfare of the
young boys and girls?
Mothers, are we not too busy with
our other duties to realize what we
owe our children? Are we living as
VIC WOu1u 11dNO Ou1 SAA404 OA ' LIZ
we not use obscene language in the
presence of our children, for which,
if we were to hear them repeat, they
would probably be punished severely?
We know that immoral habits are liza
BILE to lead to crime. 1t is claimed
that crime is increasing at the rate Of
800 per cent every twenty years.
Many children receive no moral in
structions, in the home, do not go to
Sunday school Or church, and refer
ence to God and the Bible have no
place in recent years in many public
schools. 1t is not possible for such
children to become good citizens. The
trouble is in the home. Will the State
have to come to the rescue and pro-
vide moral instructions in the school
until the home can be made moral?
Many of the inmates of our penal in
situations are we'll educated. 1t is
estimated that t~hirty-five per cent of
the educated people Of Spain commit
sixty-fve per cent of her crime. Now.
Doesn't hat prove that intellectual
development without moral training
will not produce good citizens. Now.
mothers, let's begin in the home to
do all for u children in this respect
that we can, and 1 am sure that the
teachers and the young ladies of the
community will do all they a to
help us. And do you know that we
have to begin from infancy to train
our children, and do you realize that
the way you punish your child for
his wrong actions makes or mars his
disposition for life. How many of US
believe that natural reaction Furnishes
our child for the wrong he or she has
done? For instance, if you see your
child doing something that you know
is dangerous, is it not better to warn
him Of the danger rather than scoll
or whip and then If he hurts himself
he has brought on his own punishment
and next time he will be nor care
fCl, and will also begin to wonder if

Rhodes; Opened Business on 3rd Ave.
The Carolina Oil & Supply Co., has
been formed by E. j.. Rhodes of Bal
four and John B. Rymer of Henderson
vile.
Mr.. Rhodes, wno has been with the
Balfour Quarry company at BaIfour
for nine years, managing the quarry
when in operation and at other times
taking care of the store, will act in
the capacity of manager of the new
concern.
Mr.. Rymer, who has been a member
of the Eureka Oil company of this
city, Postmaster S. Y. Bryson being a
partner will act as secretary and
treasurer.
Mr.. Rymer and Mr.. Rhodes will de-
vote their whole time to the business
and Mr.. Rhodes will move his family
here from BalfOur at an early date.
The business will be conducted at
Office heretofore occupied by the Eu-
reka Oil company, now discontinued.
The building is situated on the South
ern railway on 3rd enu
The new concern will handle the
Texaco products and in addition to
conducting storage rooms and run
ming a drayage business, will handle
wood, coal and brick.
1t is highly probable that the COM
pany will extend it's business so as to
include other lines of work.
The opening announcement of the
company will be found in the Demo-
Gratis advertising columns.

MIR. CANNON HAS PECANS.

Hon. A. Cannon, member of the
State Board of Agriculture, is growing
pecans at his home near Horse Shoe.
Mr.. Cannon planted some pecans
about twenty years ago and while
some of his trees have been bearing
for the past few years, the fruit has
never matured by. reason of frosts.
Mr.. Cannon believes that he will
have 'matured fruit this year. Prof.
w. N. HUT, State Horticulturist, says
that Mr.. Cannon's pecans last year
was nearer matured than any he had
ever seen from the mountains.

LEGATION in the Times. 1t evidently hit
the mark Is they dared not publish
it Can you show them up?
Sept. !23, 1914.
Editor Times:
your editorial entitled Dodging
their own Record is a marvellous
piece of English composition. You
have overlooked or completely disre-
garded the facts on which your state
ments are based.
'The Republicans depended almost
entirely on the tariff to supply their
revenue. They collected about $780,
100000 annually. The Democratic
tariff laws called for a $500, 00O, 900
revenue annually, owe $500. O00, 900
revenue being raised on income tax,
corporation tax. etc.
"Now there is a falling off in i'm
ports, the Democrats losing half their
tariff revenue, or $1OO, 1000, 900 under
Republican administration the falling
eff of half the tariff revenue would
amount to $3.50, 900 900, and the Eu-
ropean war tax now levied on the peo-
pie for 100000 900 would be $780,
100000.
81 am aware of the difficult task
you have in always finding something
mean to say about the Democrats, but
at that, there is no excuse for making
ones self ridiculous.

The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1914-06-17

The awfullooking clouds that
frowned up over the northwest yes
terday afternoon were most welcome
to Ocala. Everybody watched them
more in fear that they would go
away than in any dread of what they
might bring. A little after six
o'clock they burst over the city in a
tremendous downpour, bringing a
GOODNESS and moisture that were
most refreshing to everybody. There
was a considerable amount of cleo
tricity, and, accompanied by a ire
mendous clap of thunder one bolt,
about $50, shook the town up. Ev-
cry electric light and motor was out
of business for a few seconds, but
thanks to the up-to-date apparatus
that has been put in at the plant in
the last few years, no harm was
done. The cool and refreshing tenn
perature brought needed rest to all
last night, and the rain has saved
tens of thousands of dollars of
crops that seemed at their last gasp

by the North Dakota agricultural col
lege. today started a movement in the
northwest which is expected to sweep
the entire country. The theatre, de-
signed in the agricultural college, is
in every way miniature of the regular
theatre but is SO constructed that 1t
is readily adaptable to any size hall.
The idea of the little theatre is:
to bring amateur theatricals into farm
homes, country schools, villages halls
and such places The simplicity Of the
stage settings are such that they car
be easily and cheaply constructe-'
from the plans made up at the local
college. The plan is more readily
adapted to one-act playlets.
Prominent educators who have been
shown the plans and heard an ex-
PLANTATION of the aim of the little thea
tire declare it will add new course
in dramatic art to colleges and schools
all over the country. The plan is in
tended to do much for the entertain
ment of farms and in social centers.
1t will have the effect, the originators
believe, of making the consolidated
school plan and the social centers
more popular.
