In game of ball that was called
during the fifth inning on account OF
rain, Ocala easily defeated Belleview
by a score of to 2.
The rains that have fallen during
the last few days have left the ball
grounds in bad condition, and dur
ing the five innings, while Ocala had
everything her own way, the playing
was slow and uninteresting.
Clark for Ocala was in the box, and
In one inning Belleview got three
hits and scored her two runs.
Ocala started the first inning by
getting one score, two in the second
and third and one in the fourth and
nth.
For Ocala George Davis and Sam
Burford made their first appearance
in a ball game, and out of two times
at the bat each of them got two hits.
One of Davis's went for two bases.
Chazal and Harris both got three
hits each. Chaza1 opened up the fifth
inning with three-bagger and scor-
ed on Harris double to left. Harris
was out going to third, and the game
was called on account of rain.

Florida has larger and better no
tells and more of them according to
population than any state in the I'm
ion. She has larger and better news
papers and more of them according to
population than any of her sister
states. She is every year increasing
her school facilities and is number
ing a larger enrolment of pupils. Her
public buildings are every year be-
coming more and more creditable.
She is paying greater and greater at
tention to road building. Florida is
showing enterprise in all directions
and is growing apace. The next de
cade Will show a wonderful revelation.

GERMAN CULTURE AND MILL.
TARYISM

The tone, almost insolent, of an ar
ticle contributed by Prof. Munster
berg to local newspaper is only re-
lieved by its artlessness; it is modi-
! fed also by the inherent gentleness of
the man and his admitted scholarship.
But it is remarkable logic that
! dictate their democracy in favor of
the Prussian dynastic imperialism
now exemplified in the savagery of it's
inevitable war; it is a remarkable
logic that would attempt to justify
tits methods so demonstrated by an
argument that these methods are
, exercised in the interest of civiliza-
ton.
Prof. Munsterbergs proposition is
indeed singular. We are calmy told
that either Slav or Teuton ideals are
destined to rule the world; that Ger
many is fighting battle with Russia
the issue of which involves the fate
of all the other nations of the earth
, This is large task which protests
too much; an insolent task for which
the nations as beneficiaries will not
be grateful-are not tgrateful, as the
professor in wOnderment sees. But
the professor is mistaken. 1t is the
cold national Teutonic egoism that
is battling; the dogmatic and uncom-
promising sentiment evidenced by
his government its devotion to it's
arbitrary leader and his will, and its
diplomacy that thursts its fist under
the worlds nose with demand for
friendship at the price of broken
head-the sentiment that believed all
nations craven and is amazed to find
that even the smallest are not. 1t is
the German dynastic, imperialistic
spirit that offend the world and which
the world resents. And it is a spirit
evidenced by nation without either
claim or right; that began in 1904 as
simple marquisate on the plains of
Prussia and finally embraced all of
the German states, comprising a
whole which up to approximately one
hundred years ago was half serf. And
Prof. Munsterberg addresses this doc
trine to a nation of one hundred
millions of people, so per cent. of
which is literate and all of which
was free and democratic before Prus-
STA began to nation whose ideals
control the Western Hemisphere and
f, which believes that its ideals will con.
troll the world. It takes no account
| of the British Empire, which had it's
Shakespeare when Germany was in
skins; whose symbolic language alone
is sufficient to differentiate if from
the Teuton in every advantage that
makes for both material and interl-
lectual progress.
| The argument is not worth a dus-
cussion in view of the facts; butt
sympathy with suffering humanity !;
which bleeds because of the German
point of view and the Huns primitive
valor, is another matter. England
knows her task and is arming for it.
She has the sympathy of the civilized
world,-John Sherwin Coates in the
New York World.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR ACTIVE.
TIES

September has been an ususually
busy month in the Sunshine depart
ment, headquarters of our union. Dur
ing the month Secretary Grace re-
membered thirty-one birthdays in
eighteen states and Canada, and in
formed others of the coming of fif-
teen of these pleasant anniversaries.
All were not directly for our union,
or it's postage used in such cores
pondence, but we give Christian En-
deavor the credit. DR.. Clark res
pended very kindly to the message
sent him. Mr.. Lehman also wrote
us their appreciation for the fifty
dollars sent the fund DR.. Clark's
birth-week, and the Christian Endeav-
or World mentioned it in last weeks
paper.
Convention dates certainly set are
Tavares, October 1918; Sanford,
October 80, November 1. Then plans
are being made for st. Petersburg,
October 1925; Jacksonville, Deem
Der Al, and Daytona also that week.
These last two dates are postponed
to December on account of Mr.. Karl
Lehman being here, December Clio.
Near enought districts will be invited
to hear and meet him in Jacksonville
nrsv o6n al oh \
There will also be. rally held with
Mr.. Lehman as honored guest in
Tampa, and another in South Central
district. 1t is hoped that endeavor
leaders from all sections of the state
but the extreme western and south
ern portions, Can get to either con-
vention or rally the anticipated "give
days" we have the field worker of the
United Society here. His expenses
of travelling are met by a gift for thus
advertising the building fund, by a
generous endeavorer of Winnipeg,
Manitoba. President Curry and the
secretary plan to attend each con-
vention this fall, and other state Of
ficers will when possible. Congl.
church duties prevent Vice President
Waldron from being in Tavares or
st. Petersburg, but he can go other
places favorably. Rev. G. V. Albert
son, who as state citizenship leader,
made things hum last year is to be
a guest at the Tavares convention,
and Mr.. Fagg another.
We heard a young worker speak
lately of C. E. as "denominational'
affair Too many even in our ranks
do not know that taking the world
over, Methodist predominated among
endeavorers; nor that the vice-presi-
dent of the Union Society is Baptist
minister. DR.. Howard B. Guese, who
has served as a faithful friend to
endeavorers for twenty-five years.
Those of us who were at the Atlantic
City International surely remember
him, and the witty. pointed and good
things he said there. There are now
eighty-seven denominations having
Christian Endeavor. Let us not for
get this fact for it means that we are
trying to follow out the teachings
which said Cali yea are brethren"

1.-THE OkLAWAHA RIVER
PRovEMENT

The Washington correspondent OF
the Chicago Daily Tribune, along
with other correspondents of the big
newspapers in the larger cities across
that famous geographical line sepa-
rating the sections, poo-hooed the Ok
lawaha river improvement, about
which the correspondent is as ignor-
ant as a billy goat from the Fiji Is
lands.
Mr.. Herman J. Zeuch of Davenport,
Iowa, a leader of the progressive
movement in Iowa, an eloquent ora
tor, and a gentleman of commanding
influence in his state, happened to
have been a visitor to Ocala on one
occasion, and visited the reclaimed
lands of Messrs. Kyle and Young, on
the Oklawaha river, and became thor
oughly familiar with the contemplate
ed improvement of that river.
AS soon as he saw the unjust criti-
cism of the Washington correspond
ent of the Chicago Tribune of this
really meritorious project he replied
to it as follows:

Can't you help me?' Before l had

now revolves, a dance Of houris,
round the head Of "the tired busi-
ness man." The problem Of the
problem novel Is how to please him.
Magazines and newspapers must
electrify his browsing senses. The
advertising scientist studies his psy-
chology: he is bombarded with catch
word and epigram to make him sit
up and take notice. In crusty hu-
NOR, he is wheedled and cajoled; in
a gay mood he is obsequiously bat
tered. Let him, above all. when he
comes home never hear Of thing
that has gone wrong; his imperial
majesty seeks diversion and his
senses must be stepped in the val
erian, veronal and bromidloms Of
speech and literature or the merry
play. There Is something, Of course,
to be said for tired men. But they
can speak up for themselves, and
they do. Why take 1t for granted
that a man overworked Is Socrates.
bland and philosophic. but a tired
wife is Xantippe, Of aspic tongue and
vinegar aspect? Job was a splendid
fellow, but what was his wife doing
while he safe bemoaning on his ash
heap? She was organizing herself
into a committee of ways and means
she was considering how much
she could get for purple draperies
and golden vases and thoroughbred
kline. Job, like Bronson Alcott, had
marathons with all the
philosophers Of the neighborhood.
Old man Alcott wished that he could
be endowed to talk" but his daugh-
ter Louisa wrote the books and kept
the wolf from the door. That dear,
heroic soul, Robert Louis Stevenson,
ts not the first who wished that he
could lie down on the hands Of the
public like a government institution
and be supported. The difference
between him and the great host Of
not combatants Is that they did lie
down and he did not. Then they
discovered that the world hates a
gutter as 1t loves a lover, and he
from his sick bed at Vailima, in Sa-
moa. had the laugh on them. But
the laugh was not on the faces Of the
women who had to do the work that
the men refused to do.
It is better that a man and woman
shall reach the understanding that
they are not upon the earth to
make war, but to help each other.
Whatever else woman suffrage will
do or leave undone, 1t will not extir-
pate chivalry. For a woman, though
deceived and disappointed often, will
not surrender her belief that in the
world, for her and other women,
there are men Of tenderness and
strength, Of fortitude and touching
self-denials, friends Of God and serv-
ants of men, fitted, therefore, to be
comrades and the helpers Of weak
ness and WEAKNESS and affectionate
dependence.-Philadelphia Ledger.

One day Brown lost his temper and
determined to discipline the janitor

time anybody in this building loses
anything you ask us II we Know what
has become Of it?"
Because" the janitor replied, you
are the only folks that never lose
anything"
Next morning Brown shouted down
the dumbwaiter shaft: We're short a
bottle Of milk; where Is it?''
II don't know. sir" the janitor an
swered humbly. I'll see If car
find It."
Why" said Mrs. Brown, I'VE got
our milk"
Don't worry" said the husband
"Of course he can't find 1t, but it will
do him good to stew around little.
About fifteen minutes later Brown
was summoned to the dumbwaiter.
Here's your milk" said the janitor'
I'm sorry I made a mistake"
Where on earth did the fellow get
it?" he said to his wife.
He has taken it from one OF the
neighbors," walled Mrs. Brown.
Next day Brown complained OF the
loss Of q package Of sugar. which,
though purely imaginary, so far as
the Browns were concerned. very
soon materialized in the hands Of the
resourceful janitor. Even Brown got
uneasy then, but being bent on ven
geance, he subsequently reported as
lost bread, a head Of lettuce, and a bag
of potatoes, all Of which were i'm
mediately produced by the janitor.
When Brown paid his grocery bill
for the month. Mrs. Brown. who Is
systematic housekeeper. scanned the
account.

she said. They have charged us for
milk and sugar and things we never
got"
Brown went back to the grocery to
inquire.
It's all right" he said upon his re-
turn. I'VE got the stuff. The janitor
ordered it."
