ANOTHER SMART CRAFT
FOR THE OKLAWAHA

Connor, July 26.-The dispatch boat
Josephine was launched from the Con-
ner boat sheds Saturday at 11:3O a.
n. The sponsor was Miss Violet
Smoak, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J.
L. Smoak, of Silver Springs, and she
gracefully and dexterously broke the
bottle of champagne against the bow
purple Oklawaha.
The throng, dressed in the July pic
mic light colors, stood about on quay,
barge, and boats in the ball room and
closely followed the items of events
in the beautiful marine services of
christening and launching of the YES

/ or, directed, while these river officers
assisted: f. L. Mills, Dick Harrison,
/ Eric Mills, Robert Mathews, c. Car
michael, Ivy Long, Jack Wellhorner,
Victor and Make Mason. Others as
sisted them.
The American flag flew from the
stern until exact time to launch when
I i was hauled down on account of pre-
serving the colors from the flush
water over the stern post. The flag
was raised again when the boat
cleared later in the day for Silver
/ Springs to spin out her maiden trip
to Ocala. u. S. cOlors were pinioned
to trees and boats and they fluttered
with the leaves of the trees and play
Ell with the sunshine.
The Silver Springs, Robert Math-
ews, stood by, and the Zip, the Prin-
cess Irene, the Sharp Shooter, and
the Clermont were moored around the
i Silver Springs to the cross tie barge

The clause in the latest American
note, which says the United States
and Germany are contending for the
same principle, namely, freedom of
the seas, has caused some uneasiness
to the government of Great Britain,
which sees in it a possibility that Am
erica and Germany may come to an
understanding if not an alliance, on
account. of the bad treatment by the
British of American commerce. This
feeling is probably what has caused
Sir Edward Grey to withdraw the
British note in reply to the American
protest against the orders in council,
and promise another in a few days.
No American will object to any idea
or impression that viii cause Great
britain to give our commerce better
treatment, but until Germany makes
PREPARATION for the death of Ameri-
cans on the Lusitania, there is no pos
sibility of this country joining the Ger
mans in any compact against any
other nation. 1t would be like a man
clasping in friendship a hand stained
with the blood of his kinsmen and
friends.

A. P. Spencer, of the farmers CO
operative demonstration work of the
University of Florida, is authority for
the statement that the corn crop of
Florida will this year aggregate fif-
teen million bushels, as against eleven
million bushels last year. This, too,
is largely due to the good work done
by the demonstration agents.-Times-
Union Short Talks.
The increase in this single crop will
probably pay all the expense, and a
great deal over, of that department
of the University since it was estab-
lished.

4 DESERVED PROMOTION

Mr.. Robert Taylor, for many years
travelling freight agent of the Allan
tic Coast Line, has been promoted to
be division freight agent, for all the
lines in the state. Mr.. Taylor's many
friends in Ocala are glad to hear of
his promotion.
1t is also worthy Of note that Mr..
James F. Meade; assistant general
freight agent for Florida, has been
promoted to have charge of that Of
flee for three states, including Flori-
da. Mr.. Meade will be located in
Savannah.

The Times-Union rejoices over the
fact that the Mexicans backed out of
firing across the border as soon as
positive orders were given American
soldiers to fire in return, and says
that if President Wilson will issue a
positive warning to Great Britain to
stop interfering with our commerce,
the British lion will be as complais-
ant as the Mexican buzzard. Possibly
the T.-U. is right-we would like to
think it is, but Mexico is a small po-
tato alongside of England, and we are
not sure that even Mexico is entirely
good yet.

this summer is seeing the high tide
of Teuton success as the summer of
1863 saw the high tide Of the South
ern Confederacy. The relative power
Of the contending forces is about the
same, and it is more than likely the
result will be the same. The end will
probably come in the autumn or win

The Star has several times asserted
that avarice was one of the worst of
crimes, and the accident to the East
land in Chicago, costing more than
thousand lives is a proof of the as
sertion. 1t was avarice that kept this
cranky vessel afoat after it should
have been condemned, it was avarice
that blinded the inspectors to their
duty and avarice that caused the ship
to be overloaded.

Mr.. John A. Thackston of the
teachers college and normal school of
the University of Florida announces
great increase for the school this
summer. It has 397 students this
term against 269 last year; an in

The school is doing a great work for
the young men and women of Flor
ida, and deserves to grow.

Germany and Austria are putting
forth a superhuman effort to capture
Warsaw and, if possible, large sec
ton of the Russian armies, and to
drive the survivors clear back into
central Russia This done, the leu
tons will try to capture Paris and the
channel ports, which will open the
way to an invasion of England 1t Is
a tremendously big program and may
succeed, but the possibilities are that
it will not The Teutons may and
probably will capture Warsaw, but
unless the Russian resistance col
lapses the ears forces can be driven
only a short distance into their own
country, with the certainty of coming
again in a few months. Russia may
make peace at this stage of the game
but if she does she will lose her west

AS will be seen by the report of
the city council meeting elsewhere,
the rate for electric current for light
ing purposes will be reduced from 8
cents to 6. The council has desired
to do this for some time, and has only
delayed the reduction because it had
to have money for other purposes.
This gives Ocala one of the very low
est rates for electric current in the
country. A notch at time, our mu-

Tho Pineapple In England.

Pineapples, which Londoners can now buy at the cheapest rate within living memory, first reached England in the latter part of the seventeenth century. The fruit was thus a novelty to Sir Christopher Wren's generation: but he soon recognized it's value as an architectural ornament. and copper pineapples about five feet high figure prominently on the towers of St. Paul's. So highly did Wren esteem the fine proportions and enriched sur. face of this fruit that his original de- sign for St. Pauls shows an enormous pineapple in the place of the dome. Happily his maturer thoughts saved us from that appalling spectacle. Since Wren the pineapple has been as much at home in our architecture as on our dinner tables. It has descended even to cast iron, and is frequently found in old-fashioned streets. Queen Victoria treasured seal given by her husband on which pineapple was engraved. together with the motto. "Sa gloire nest pas sa couronne. Mall Ga. xette.

 Fifth, that the teachers of this county thoroughly appreciate the un' selfish interest our county superin- tendent, A. W.

Importance of Work.

A negative life is wicked life
 Someone has said mo angel ever ap. peared to man who was not at work" You cannot make man good by keeping him idle. 'I must be about my Fathers business" said Christ ih the temple. That is the gospel of ev- cry man who is loyal to his own soul, is the comment of the Ohio State Journal. There is no excuse for idle ness. Work, like virtue, religion, faith, is from witt!n. The impulse toward the right is what keeps 6 man at work, and if he is not at work he lacks the impulse. His religion is too weak to exert itself. A positive life is the only true life. Nor is mere altruism the only form of work. It is as much a mans duty to help himself as it is to help others, so that help is upbuilding, which is the very condition of ones being a benefit to others. A man who loves roses, sunsets, stars, creeks, trees, birds, Is friend of humanity. Loving Gods beautiful world includes man, or it is a false love. Not to love these creations of goodness and grace denotes negative life that is positively wicked.

Spook-Rtddon Babylon.

Tn lecture in connection with tho Egypt Exploration fund, on Burial Customs in Mesopotamia and Egypt" pr. L. w. King said the spirit which animated the Egyptians in their varied and changing practices toward the dead was based on affection and rev erence. but the Babylonian, in the main, was prompted by fear. The Babylonians were probably more spook-ridden than any other nation of antiquity, and their magical texts made it clear that the most terrible class of spirits were the ghosts of the dead who for some reason had been unable to enter the underworld. Driven to hunger and thirst, such g gEost might roam about and fasten on anyone with whom 1t had relations in this life. and it would plague him until he performed the rites that could give peace. It was mainly to lay the ghost and prevent it from haunt ing" that the Babylonians were scru- pulous in performing the due burial rites.-London Times.
