He was a widower; his married chill

parental nest; there were no bonds
or ties to keep him In Nokomfs. He

of his possessions, drew $4,000 out

he reached New York in safety. He
registered at the Hotel Monroe under
an assumed name. Next morning
special delivery letter was handed to
him by the hotel clerk, and Hopkins
knew, before he opened 1t, that his
fate had found him. However, he had
a respite, for the message said: go
eastward"
Well, that had been his plan. He
engaged a suite aboard the Phoenix
and sailed for England. He fled from
place to place, until, in London, he
felt that he had shaken off his pur-
suers. He did not feel secure, how
ever, until he had crossed the conti-
nent and thus placed another sea be-
tween himself and Haynes. From
Paris he went to Rome, loitered awhile
In Northern Italy, and returned leisure

GUM. where he took the waters.
At Spa he made the acquaintance OF
a pleasant, mild-mannered English
man named Greaves. and the two be-
came intimate. Both had retired from
business and both were seeking for
relaxation in travel. Often they sat
together in the Casino, watching the
youngsters skating on rollers over the
waxed boards-for this American sport
had become the rage at the fashion

Before the war broke out, Marconi was

Marconi succeeded in throwing his voice
across the Atlantic. his success would
have been dimmed by the feat Of the
Americans in sending the voice clear
across the country and then over 2.100
miles OF the Pacific to Honolulu. Had
the message been sent from Seattle. il
would easily have carried to Yokohama,
1850 miles away. and the Pacific would
have been bridged in a conversational
tone of voice. AS it was, the message
was picked up by San Diego and Panama.
While conversations were actually con-

telephone in aiding the movements Of
armies and fleets seemed unbounded.
But, alas, as the real strategist soon

pacifists shouted, the one thing about the
wireless telephone that seems definite is
that It cannot be used for military pur-

It will never benefit the fighting man.
The reason is obvious. Although the

some 5000 miles Of space. anyone within
that 5000 miles may clap an instrument
to his ears and listen. The wireless tele-
phone whispers its message to the world.
so that all that listen may hear.
True, the wireless telegraph does also
to a certain extent. But instruments may
be pitched or tuned" so that receivers
only with the same pitch or tune will
register the sparks. Even this method
is unsatisfactory. when secrecy is de-
sired, for an unwelcome receiver may
stumble onto the same pitch and easily

OF INTEREST TO MOTHERS
Are the richest Riddles the happiest
in the land or are the happiest babies
the richest in the land?
The millionaire mother who raises
her little son like a crown prince and
has him guarded as if he were going
to some day inherit a throne thinks
her baby is the happiest in the land,
but other fond mothers think she is
mistaken. They believe that only[a
poor" baby can be really happy.
When the poor child is a babe in
arms the mother hangs over it. puts
the tiniest stitches in the precious
baby dresses and kisses it at every
cry. When it begins to walk and falls

Mr.. Upshaw is making a whirlwind
campaign sure enough. To use a
homely phrase, he has "got them a

Monday night he spoke at Sum-
nerfeld to a big crowd, which cheer
ed him to the echo. He made an out
and out convert of Mr.. Collens, edi-
tor of the Chronicle. The leading
citizens of Summerfield are confident
their precinct, which went wet two
years ago, will reverse itself this
time.
Last night Mr.. Upshaw spoke at
Fairfield and tonight he will be at
Citra. Each of his speeches is a flow
of reason and feast of wit. The
vets make no attempt to answer him.
They can't.
Don't forget that Mr.. Upshaw gives
his inimitable lecture, "John and His
Hat" at the Temple Friday night.

THE MODERN WOODMEN
Another Live Order viii Soon Estab-
lish a Lodge in Ocala

The above named organization is
making rapid strides toward big
membership in Florida. Mr.. Meyer
Levine, district deputy organizer for
the state, is now in the city making a
canvass of the eligibles and expects
soon to institute a local lodge of the
order in Ocala.
Within the past eighteen months
nearly one hundred lodges have been
organized in the state, and all are in
a very healthy and prosperous condi-
-geion. The order is very strong one,
with headquarters at Rock Island,
ILL.,, and on January 1, 1915, had a
membership of 925,O00. It had in
force at that time nearly a billion
and half dollars worth of insurance.
The Modern Woodmen was organ
lied in 1888, so that next month it
will be thirty-three years old. The
first ten months of the present year
show an increase of 63,244 in mem
bership.
The organization maintains a SAN
itarium near Colorado Springs, Colo,
which is open to its members for free
treatment. This institution is main
tanned by an assessment on the mem
bership of cents per month, and has
been the means of prolonging the life
of many of its members during the
years of it's existence.
Among the many attractive feat
ures of the Modern Woodmen insur-
ance are its very reasonable rates and
its plan of having the policies payable
at full face value Immediately upon
receiving the signature and accep-
|, ks4ce of the assured.

SEABOARD OFFICIALS
IN THE CITY
Pleased with Marion's Fine Line Up
of Corn Products

The private car of Vice President
G. r. Capps of the Seaboard, arrived
in Ocala today at noon from Starke,
where with party of other officials
of the road, he has been looking over
the business connections of the COM
|pany.
The party came to Ocala to look
over the Chazal corn products plant
OF which they have heard considerable
comment of late. They were met by
Messrs. L. R. Chazal and L. FL. Cha
zal and inspected their plant during
the afternoon.
Mr.. Capps is accompanied by Mr..
r. /. Cheatham, assistant traffic
freight manager of the Seaboard; Mr..
C. A. Carpenter, assistant general
freight agent of the Seaboard; Mr.. j.
B. Scott, manager of the Armour
car lines, and Mr.. w. w. Robertson,
general southern agent of the Armour
lines. Mr.. Capps said that the other
members of his party had never seen
the beauties of Silver Springs and
that he did not propose to have them
overlook the opportunity of seeing it
when stopping so close by, so the
party visited it during their stay.
Prospects for big business in
Florida were never brighter than at
present." said Mr.. Capps to a Star
reporter. "Florida is apparently the
last of the country to reap some of
the financial benefits from the eastern
war, but her time is rapidly approach
ing; and when things do begin to
open up they will open with a rush
such as the state has never seen. Our
business is on a daily increase in this
section and it is only a matter of a
short time when the effects of the
general resumption of large business
must reach every individual enter
prise in the state"
Mr., Capps and his party win leave
tonight for Tampa and other South
Florida points. He has been in the
state fo rthree days, and says that he
will likely be here until the middle of
the month.

RESOLUTIONS ON
THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC

Whereas, the general assembly of
the Presbyterian church in the Unit
ed States, in session at Newport
News, Va, May 26, 1915, did unani-
mously adopt the following paper, to-
wit:
"As the traffic in and use of intox-
icating liquors as beverage is the
prolific cause of so much crime, pow
erty and suffering in our land, and as
it costs the people so much money in
criminal prosecutions and the support
of the victims of drink, and IS it is
one of the greatest enemies of the
church of Christ, and as we are warn
ed against its effects in / Cor. clio;
therefore in view of these terrible ef-
fects, this general assembly bears it's
testimony against this evil, and rec
ommends to all our people the use OF
all legitimate means for its Danish
ment from the land"
Therefore, the session of the Pres
byterian church of Ocala does heartily
and unanimously second this action
of the highest court of the church, as
being in entire accord with the SEN
timents of its members on this i'm
portant subject.
