WAR GEOGRAPHY

Wavre.-Belgian town Is miles
south of Louvain. It was to this place
that the Prussians retreated after the
battle Of Lgny, on the night of June
16, 1915. Their retreat is probably
without parallel in the history of war
fare. It was so perfect that the morn
ing after the battle, the victorious
French were at a loss to discover
where the Prussians had gone. It
was not till late in the afternoon that
the French discovered the route they
had followed. 1t was from Wavre
that Butcher set out the next day, in
time to help turn the tide on the field
of Waterloo.

Newspapers all over the state,
and with one exception, in the Unit

trolled by the department stores. The
one exception is The Day Book of

The attractive little Ponder bunga-

and other pretty yellow flowers.
The first part of the evening was
given UP to a business meeting, the
class organizing and electing officers.
Miss Eunice Ellis was elected presi-
dent; Miss Nellie Lidon, vice presi-
dent; Miss Ruth Rentz, secretary;
executive committee, Misses Blanche

Mr.. Jack McCully was in Ocala Fri
day, and in conversation with re,
porter of this paper he said that he
estimated the loss to the farmers OF
this county on account of hog cholera
at $4,000. Mr.. McCully says that the
government furnishes a vaccine Sc
rum free and the state pays him for
applying this vaccine, and it is an al
most positive preventive if applied in
time. Out of fifteen hundred hogs he
vaccinated the past few months he
says he does not believe that he has
last more than seventy-five, while ad-
joining neighbors, who did not adopt
these precautionary measures, lost
their entire stock of hogs. We hope
that hereafter Mr.. McCully will be
kept busy. After a hog has taken
cholera he says that it is then too late
to apply the remedy. That nothing
has yet been discovered to cure hog
cholera. That the government stands
ready to pay million dollars for a
remedy that will prove an absolute
cure. Every farmer should talk to
Mr.. McCully about this important
matter. Remember, anyway, that an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure"

The reports of state officers and
chapter presidents in the business
