THE WAY a GOOD WOMAN PUTS


From Berlin comes a news item to
the effect that the German Lutheran
liturgy from now on will contain, by
command of the Kaiser, a special
prayer for airships and aeroplanes in
the imperial service. The regular
prayer for the armed forces, as alter.
ed to include aircraft, is as follows:
May it please Thee to protect the
royal army and all the imperial fore
es by land and sea; also the ships
upon the sea, and all the aircraft now
voyaging."
Anything pertaining to war has al
ways appealed powerfully to the i'm
agination of man. Soldiers are pray.
ed for, but bookkeepers are not. A
battleship is "christened,'' but a cook
stove is not christened, nor a churn.
Fighting and praying seem to 60
together, but work inspires neither
prayer nor hymn. Thousands have
sung Onward, Christian Soldier but
nobody ever chanted Onward, hon.
est plowman" The Christian is pic.

SURPRISING LIQUOR

Some comment has been recently
made concerning the report that two
saloons in Ocala closed their doors
for the very good reason of lack Of
business. Replying to these COM
fnents, the Ocala Banner says:
"0cala's two saloons closing for the
want of patronage looks like 30 cents
beside the 112 saloons that are said
to have closed in Milwaukee for the
same cause. The saloon habit is rap
idly going out largely for the reason
that it is no longer according to the
social ethics to visit them"
There is most excellent point, one
which resolves itself into the strong
est belief we hold concerning the reg
lation of the liquor traffic. That be-
lief is simply that the whole thing is
matter of education. 1t may not be
mat 1t can be stamped out entirely
right at first, but it is fact that with
the proper education against the traf-
nc, the proper teaching concerning
the evils, getting down to cold facts

The people of ocala would do well
to put the following in their pipes
and smoke it for awhile. IL is from
the Key West Citizen:
Individual effort is a good thing,
properly applied. but if every man in
this town decided to work in his own
particular way for the upbuilding of
the community, we wouldn't progress
very far or very fast.
"a long pull, strong pull and a
pull all together. has often pulled a
town out of a rut and saved il from
stagnation. starting it on the high
road of progress and prosperity. But
every fellow for himself. with no co
hesiive community effort, will soon
put the best town in the country In
the muck and mire, and effectually
block the wheels of progress.
"One old OK is mighty poor depend
ence for moving heavy load, but
put yoke of them together and note
the team work. When in Unison they
bend their necks to the bow, some
thing has to come. So it is in the
development of a community.
Let the progressive, loyal citizens
work in unison for a common cause.
and something generally happens.
that something being the building up
of the community, making it better
and more attractive place in which to
live.
Are you yoked up with the boost
ers of this community, doing effective
team work, or are you pulling in a
contrary direction all alone?"

What makes town? Trade. Sell
ing and buying. Barter and exchange.
So we ought to do everything in our
power to strengthen, augment and
multiply these various activities. We
should foster and encourage every
commercial industry. We heard a
lover of the weed" say the other day
that the finest favored nickel cigar
he ever smoked was made in Ocala,
yet this brand could not be found in
half of the cigar stores and stands in
the city. This should not be. Our
local cigar manufacturers should be
encouraged; their make of cigars
should be pushed so that they would
not only become popular in Ocala, but
elsewhere. The butter that is manu-
featured in our county should have
the patronage of our local buyers.
The meat that is put up at Reddick
should have preference over that of
other packers, other things being
equal The tomatoes canned in diff
ferent parts of the country should be
insisted on by the buyers. There
should be such a demand made on
the merchants for these goods by the
consumers that no merchant could af-
ford not to carry them in stock. The
key to trade largely rests with the
consumers LIE them be insistent with
their demands on the merchants, and
soon, in response to this insistent de-
mand, the merchants will keep moth.

THE MOTHERS PRAYER

cause Thou hast made me a mother,
and of all women the mother is most
blessed.
Second, because Thou hast helped
me to be true mother, by giving

God, and greater wisdom.
Be with me in my daily tasks; shed
Thy bright radiance about my home
that the young hearts growing here
may be nourished with the living
waters.
Guard them against evil, o Father,
and keep them fresh in faith and
trust Keep them pure of thought and
deed. Bless them with love, and with
thai strong belief in Thee which ex-
ats the heart and sweetens the life.
Strengthen them, Lord, with know

ties Thou seest fit to impose upon
them. Give them richness of spirit,
and the eternal joy which earthly
shadows but deepen. Guide them ever,
o Father, and grant tina THEY be we'll

NV The ATTACK ON LEIGE-
THE LONDON DAILY NEWS
PAPERS

mr. r. G. White, Of Savannah, is
,ol, from a trip across the water.
ono of the places visited was Leige
I'D he has told one of the reporters
- the Morning News why the Ger
man army selected Leige as their
noint of attack. The doctor says that
,ha German Belgium frontier is hilly
and much more impossible anywhere
olse than at Leige; that the Frenco-
c0rman frontier is strongly fortified
nv the French at very short intervals;
that Leige is the terminus for at least
two railroad lines running directly in
n Paris, hence it is supposed to have
heen the most stragetic point and the
noint of least resistance. Then, too,
the Germans at the time is not sup
nosed to have believed that they
would have met resistance by the Bel
gians. They must have thought that
thew would have been permitted to
cross their border without any
serious interruption.
Speaking of the London Dolly news
papers Dr. White says:
There are no scare-heads. The
scare-head is an invention of Ameri-
can newspapers. In London war news
or any other big topics of the day is
given a regular place under a small
head, very often tucked away on the
third or fourth page of the paper. One
very often has to dig through several
pages of markets, real estate or even
sports, in order to get at it.
The newsboy in London is not al
lowed to cry out the headlines or
extras. His only method of attracting
attention to the interesting news of
the day is that of carrying a sign on
which is printed the most important
news Of the late edition"

He may write his views today and
when his paper comes out with them

changed and his comments may be
utterly inapplicable. Probably the
wisest thing for him to do is to urge
his readers to plant potatoes and tur

NOT EVEN "WATCHFUL WAIT

Did you ever think of it, exclaims
the Wichita (Kan.) Tribune, how
many people in the world are doing
nothing but waiting? They wait in
the morning for night TO come; at
night they wait for the next day;
they wait for the end OF the week,
the month, the year, and then keep
on waiting. Even here in Wichita
Falls. a city noted for the thrift and
enterprise of its citizens, you will find
many people who are just waiting
idling away their time. Some Of
them work a few hours Of day for
a few days of the week, but the rest
Of the time they are inactive. TIL
great body of idlers and n0n-produc
ers must be supported directly or in
directly by the activity Of others, and
they account in no small degree for
the present high cost of living"
Just how these fellows who are for
ever waiting and never doing manage
to thrive and robe themselves oft
times in purple and fine linen is one
of the unsolved mysteries. We have
some of them in Ocala.
