Best Standards Are Urged.

The demands of honor and honesty.
the fidelity to the best standards does
not only apply to your immediate
neishhors. but in the same degree to
your country and it's representatives,
Dishonesty to your government is eX-
actly the same crime as dishonesty to
your fellow-Countryman, to your neigh =
Dor. to those nearest and dearest to
you. You should realize your share
IN the advancement of your nation, in
the formation and expression of its
soul and what it stands for. This
share in its advancement is not only
your opportunity. but your duty. Your
influence. by moving your fellows about
YOU. not by words alone, but by prac-
tice. extends primarily to the com
munity, but eventually to the state
itself
"Precept. OF course. hut practice, too,
upon occasion. How many ideals of
pure and clean government fail when
otficlal life, with its opportunity pre-
sents itself.
Take the matter alone of a merit
system in governmental service, how
earnestly our best men have advocated
its principles. how lamentable has been
the failure to sustain these principles
when official opportunity presents
itself"
The Invocation and benediction were
pronounced by Rev. William Rhind

TELLS OF THE ACTIVITIES
. Of SIR ROGER EASEMENT

Personal observations of the activity
of Sir Roger Easement in Germany in
Ibis propaganda campaign for Irish
freedom through German influence
we're related recently by former Mayor
George B. Mcclellan of New Jersey at
his home in Princeton.
Prof. Mcclellan stated that he had
met Sir Roger personally in Munich,
where both were guests on several oc-
fcasions of the American consul, T. St.
John Gaffney. who was later recalled
to this country for unneutral activities
In behalf of Germany.

fettered by them. We ought rather to
direct and modify our taste as reason
bids us. The object we must keep in
for usefulness and happiness. to the
end that life itself may be a richer,
happier thing.
The use of schooling is to bring us
within the influence of those things that
appeal most nobly to our natural gifts
and capabilities. 1t cannot plant in us
any new power from without. but 1t
may cause US to use powers within us

n" plea for so-cailed practical edu-

training: l hold no brief for this or that
profession. l wish to bring home to
each of YOU one simple truth-that for

OF a liberal education the richest re-
ward is this: That YOU may have for

Education Declared a Discipline.
Education is. indeed. a discipline. It
trains us to use our powers steadily
and Skillfuliy. Eut If it performs it's
whole office it does something more

with intellectual beauty and be raw

DO not shut yourself out from this
glorious world of Imagination. it lies
all about you to shed its radiance over

is the greatest of all powers. Indeed

does fill your mind with associations.

object of your attention. whatever it

can make our own world, not all In a
moment, but as years go on. and so we
do.
There is only one damnation to be
dreaded. It is that which attends the
man who has deliberately turned his
back upon the best that has revealed
itself to him. There is no other shame

SITUATION IS
YET SERIOUS
Many Flood Sufferers are in Extreme
ty in Georgia, Alabama, and
Mississippi
ASSOCIATED Press)

Atlanta, July 12.-Although the
food conditions in most of the South
ern districts in the path of the tropi-
cal hurricans appear to have improv-
ed the situation in Central Alabama
is still serious. The Alabama river
continues to rise. Many lives are en-
dangered at Portland and Kingsbend.
Relief workers are doing their utmost.
A government tug left Selma this
morning for Portland with provis-
ions and supplies for three hundred
persons reported marooned on the
tops of small hfflss. Many are report
ed in danger of drowning at Kings
Bend by party which eccaped. Boats
were sent to that point. Opposite
Montgomery the Alabama river is sew
en- miles wide. The crest of the flood
is expected to pass there today and
the danger of further damage to crops
and property in Georgia is believed to
be past. Rivers are falling, but there
is some uneasiness caused by the
weather bureaus report that another
disturbance has been observed in the
extreme eastern Caribbean sea. No
indication of the direction of the
direction the storm is travelling or its
force has been given out.

"FEED FLORIDA FEED FIRST"

Louis R. Chazal & Sons Co. is in
creasing the scope of its farm pro-
ducts department. The company,
which recently adopted as its slogan
"Feed Florida Feed First" is now
manufacturing At Brand feeds, US
ing, as far as possible, the products of
the county. In addition to the feeds
of its own manufacture, the company
is handling other famous feeds. The
firm is making every effort to find an
outlet for the staples grown in Mar
ion county, and one by one the OBJ
stacles in the way of succeeding in
this venture are being removed.
Preparations are being made by the
Chazal company to again handle a
large portion of the corn crop of this
section of the state, and as last year
the corn will be bought from the
farmers at the prevailing market
prices and standard weights. Good
baled hay, peanuts, peas and beans
will be bought. The Standardization
of all of the crops is sought by the
concern.
The company suggests to the farm
ers the advisability of getting Flor
ida corn on the market before tht
grain of other states comes in. At
tention is also called to the necessit.
of putting hay into heavy bales, il
order that more hay might be loaded
in cars, and advantage taken o.
freight rates on car lots.

AMERICANS COWARDs

According to several of the ref
ugees, who are registered at the Hotel
Mason, Immediately following the
murder of the American soldiers at
Carrizal, the Carranza government
caused to be published and circulated
hand bills and newspaper articles de-
claring that the white people in the
United States were towards and sent
their negro soldiers to fight for them.
1t was also stated that before Car
ranza's mushy note was sent to Pres
ident Wilson, a supposed copy of his
note was printed in the Mexican pa
pers, which declared that President
Wilson was everything that is not
clean and that Mexico could whip the
United States in "a hours. A copy of
these papers were brought to the
United States by several of the refu-
gees and will be printed and sent
through the press of the country.
Mr.. Mcdonald said he read of Pres
ident Wilson's speech last year in

OF MAKING
PEAT PRODUCTS
VIII Be in Full Blast at the Com
pany's Plant Near Ocala by the
First of October

The operations spoken of recently
as having started at the plant of the
Florida Peat Products company, it is
now learned. were limited to the get
ting out of small amount of muck
for test purposes. A representative
of the Star visited the location of the
cCunty's newest industry at Meadows,
near Citra, yesterday afternoon and
found that the plant would be put in
full operation, turning out finished
product, about October l.
TIE new plant building at Meadows
resembled phosphate mining plant,
but is more elaborate. The main
units of the peat plant, in their order
of operation, are: a large dredge
boat, transfer barges, wet bin with
elevator, three inclines leading to the
drying grounds and drying plant,
drying plant, and warehouse.
As Captain Alfred, general man
ager, explained to the Stars represen-
tative, the peat is taken out of the
deposit by means of bucket elevator
on the dredge boat, and is put through
a macerator. 1t is then loaded on
transfer barges and taken to the wet
bin, the first unit of the plant proper.
The barges are run into a slip and
the wet peat is discharged into the
DIN by means of an elevator. From
this bin the peat is taken in small
dump cars to one of two inclines
leading to the drying grounds, where
the peat is allowed to remain for an
indefinite period in order that the sun
might draw out a part of the moisture.
The incline to the drying plant is
located between those leading to the
drying grounds. A large locomotive
crane will pick up the partially dried
peat from the drying grounds and
load it on dump carts to be sent up
to the drying plant. There it first
goes into hopper, from which auto
matte feeders carry it into the oil
burning dryers. Out of the dryers
the peat goes into a dust chamber,
passing thence through screen and
on into the warehouse. Coarse mater
ial that fails to go through the screen
in the first place is passed through a
ldisintegrator and is then re-screened.
The finished product of the plant
viii have the consistency of corn meal
according to Captain Alfred. It will
be loaded on freight cars by means of
blowers. This product is used mainly
as filler for fertilizers. The ibrous
material screened out of the peat be-
comes by-product, and is used,
among other purposes, as a roughage
for stock, and as a packing to take
the place of excelsior.
The plant is on the main line of the
Seaboard, and is but short distance
east of the hard surfaced road to
Citra. The Florida Peat Products
company is capitalized at 500, 900.
and the plant is building at a cost of
Isis, 900.

MANNER N WHICH AMERICANS
ARE TREATED IN MEXICO
STORIES OF INSULT TO OUR FLAG AND FRIGHTFUL
SUfFERMGS OF OUR CITIZENS TOLD
BY REFUGEES OF THE SUMNER
Jacksonville Metropolis,
Jacksonville Metropolis, 11th)
Stories told by refugees from Mex

Stories told by refugees from Mex
leo, who passed through this city last
night and today from Tampa en- route
to their homes in various sections of
the United States, heap hot Goals of
fire on the representatives of this
government in that war stricken coun-
try. They declare that. hundreds of
law abiding American citizens lie
sweltering in Mexican prisons while
the United States representative play
golf at the country club in Mexico
City and make no effort to secure
their release.
ROGERS WAS PLAYING GOLF
Stories of untold brutality, starva-
tion and confiscation of supplies by
the Mexican government, and the cir
culation of hand bills, stating that
the white people of the United States
are towards and will not fight are
told and certified by former American
residents of that country. B. j. Nc
Donald, of Mexico City, one of the ref
ugees to arrive in the city this morn
ing, declares he called at Belem, the
principal Jail in Mexico City, to bid
farewell to his friend, C. F. Huston,
who had been sentenced to prison on
a slight pretext, and that the sight
which met his eyes was revolving.
Prison vermin had eaten the hands
and face of Huston until he was al
most unrecognizable and the poor fell
lew declared he had not bathed for
twenty-five days. "It was then that I
went to Mr.. Rogers, the American
representative, to make an effort to
have my friend released, but was in
formed that Mr.. Rogers was at the
country club playing golf and would
not return until evening"" declared
Mr.. Mcdonald.
The scarcity of provisions even
among the American residents of
Mexico as described by Mr.. Mcdonald,
showed that no effort was being made
by the United States representatives
to succor their people. "For fifteen
days prior to our receiving notice to
vacate the country, neither myself,
my wife nor child had bite of meat
to eat, and very little bread. We SUBJ
sisted on canned meats procured from
the English stores in Mexico City,
and paid an enormous price for them.
Those wealthy Mexican and Spanish
residents of the city who could buy
bread, would send their servants to
the bakeries in the afternoon, where
they would sleep through the night in
order to be among the first in the
bread line in the morning." he con-
tinued.

Are Well Satisfied With the Results of their
Twelve Days Offensive
BATTLES RAGING Rcy BETWEEN nUTOs AND RUSSIANS FROM THE DNx FRONT TO
BDOW|A

London, July 12.-General satisfac-
ton is felt here at the British success
during the twelve days fighting on
the Somme front, although the extent
of the ground gained isn't great. 1t is
believed the new positions of the allies
will make greater successes possible.
The capture Of Contal Maison, Ma
metz and the Trones woods gives the
British a line almost due east and
west, from which they can attack the
German flank. South Of the river the
French are in position to attack the
German flank south of Belloy and
Estrees.
The Germans are renewing their
Verdun attacks, but were twice re-
pulsed near Dead Mans hill last
night, says the French war Office.
BATTLES IN BUKOWINA
The Russians, who have engaged in
heavy battles in the northwestern
corner of Bukowina and along the
Stokhod, have inflicted further de-
feats on Pfanger's army in Buko-
wilma. The Teutons are resisting for
nidably along the Stokhod.
BRITISH PORT BOMBARDED
London, July IA German sub
marine bombarded the British port of
Coahay,o harhor hort thirty rounds
of shrapnel were fired. One woman
was killed and one house struck.
TEUTON CENTER ATTACKS
London officially announces that the
Germans, heavily reinforced, attacked
the Somme front last night gaining
ground at Mametz and Trones Wood.
Berlin announces that two German
aeroplanes Monday night bombarded
port and army encampment at Calais.
Paris newspaper dispatches says
the Austrians apparently have evacu-
ated Tolmino, on the Isonzo front and
that the resistance is lessening.
Turks claim to have repulsed all
Russian counter attacks in the Cauca-
sus and to have forced the small body
Of British in Mesoptamia to flee.
GREAT CLAIM OF THE GERMANS
The Germans claim to have taken
2,145 prisoners on the Verdun front
yesterday.
