Mr.. David H. Kirkland, who was
in town yesterday, was telling the
Star about the fine success the great
Oklawaha farms is having in raising
celery. 4 new and up TO date system
Of tarred paper shields is being used,
so much easier to handle as we'll as
cheaper than board protection. Mr..
Kirkland believes that the great Ok
lawaha drainage territory will soon
have the Sanford section far ex-
ce1led in raising celery. No other
part Of the world has anything on
the OkIawaha in quality of celery
now, and the quantity will come
soon. The Atlantic Coast Line is
about to build four-mile track into
the Kyle & kirkland farm. which it
wouldn't do if it didn't see freight
posi- bilities in sight.

DAME PROMOTED TO
MANAGE THE DISTRICT
Twelve Years OF Active Organization
Service Recognized by Officers
of the Head Camp of
Woodmen

Mr.. Carter H. Dame has just re-
ceived notification that he has been
appointed district manager Of the
Woodmen of the World for twenty
four counties in Florida, which in
cludes practically all the territory in
the peninsula portion OF the state.
Mr.. Dame is justly proud of the
distinction awarded him as the posi-
| ton is one eagerly sought by many
members of the organization forces
in the territory. He is the first real
| son OF woodcraft in this district TO
| be honored by such a position, Man
ager Mitchell who has been serving
/ in this capacity for the past dozen
years having been transferred from
the Georgia district when the two
states were made separate jurisdic-
| tons
As soon as his appointment be-
came known several OF the larger
cities at once began importuning
him TO make his headquarters among
/ them, but his loyalty 10 Fort King
Camp. no IA, which had in large
measure made his present advance
ment possible was mistaken, and
Oca1a will be his headquarters
Mr. Dame, in company with DR..
and Major E. W. Peabody, organized
Fort King Camp nearly twenty years
ago, and with a small membership
the camp struggled along under diff
fculties for several years. Mr.. Dame
then busted himself and began to
work for the upbuilding of the local
camp as he took great personal
pride in IT, The membership began
to increase and has grown steadily
ever since, the camp at present hay-
ing the distinction OF carrying the
i largest membership OF any secret or
sanization in the city.
The district over which Sovereign
Dame has managership has a total
OF nearly twelve thousand members.
From six TO eight deputy organizers
will assist in the work Of the order
under the supervision Of the Ocala
office
Mr. Danes twelve years of actual
field work as deputy organizer in
Florida eminently fit him for the
new position which he is called upon
to fill, and his host of personal
friends all over the state will join
with the home boys" in extending
him hearty congratulations upon his
promotion.
While other matters are very
pressing in different sections of his
territory, Mr.. Danes loyalty to Fort
King Camp is SO strong that he de-
sired to visit his own camp first in
his official capacity and will meet
with the Ocala choppers at tonight S
session. He is especially proud of
the local camps present membership,
which is now two hundred and forty.

In the variety of wonderful
changes covering the past gen.
Grafton in the social, economic, civil
and political conditions of our coun-
try. we are often surprised at their
suddenness and how quickly the peo-
pie generally apply themselves to
new conditions, so that in a short
period we move along on the new
lines with the same ease and comfort
and with apparent greater satisfac-
tion than we experienced under old
methods and customs. We are wont
to refer to the present age as one of
great progress, but in order to make
the claim good every step in ad-
vance must be in line with the prin-
ciples of keeping the welfare of soci-
ETY. at heart and make it clear that
our aims and purposes are devoted
to the preservation of Christian prin-
ciples, that will tend to the progress
and elevation of men to higher spir-
itual life and more lofty and un-
selfish citizenship, and which. in eff
feet, will produce among our people
a feeling Of safety and security in
the betterment of the social, eco
nomic, civil and political conditions.
While the changes referred to enter
into nearly every feature of our So
cial, economic and civil life, in look
ing over the past we are prompted in
the belief that on the lines of real
progress in substantial way no
