BOUGHT A MAXWELL TRUCK

Last Saturday the Ocala Maxwell
Agency delivered a Maxwell one-ton,
worm-driven truck to the Reddick Ice
& Packing Company, Messrs. Perdue
and Wilson, proprietors. The truck
is equipped with solid tires, and it
was a question whether it would ne
gotiate the roads over which it would
have to travel, some of which are
very bad.
After weeks use this Maxwell
truck has demonstrated that it is just
what the ice company needed, and
even equipped with solid tires, which
will shortly be replaced with pneu-
matics, it is doing the work mostfsat
isfactorily. Yesterday, Friday. was a
sample of its days work. In the
morning the truck, with it's heavy ex-
press body and two men, took 2100
pounds of ice to Mcintosh, Evinston
and Boardman, up and down the steep
hills and through some heavy sand
After this 1900 pounds of ice was
taken to Fairfield, Pennington and
Irvine, followed by third trip with
1900 pounds across through deep sand
to Citra.
Both Mr.. Perdue and Mr.. Wilson
are more than pleased with the work
of the truck and the solution of THEN
hauling problems.

LAFOLLETTE'S ATTEMPT AT
DEFENSE

Washington, Oct. 6.-The closing
session of Congress was marked by
three hour speech by Senator La
Toilette, answering his critics. with
two hours set aside for senators who
wish to speak on the subject.
Senator LaFollette asserted that
the "war party" besides carrying on
their campaign of "libel and charac-
ter assassination" among members of
Congress who vote against war, are
attempting to suppress discussion of
war issues and intimidate people by
invading their homes and unlawfully
putting them in Jail. The senator's
speech was carefully prepared and he
quoted at length from Lincoln, Clay,
Webster and Sumner in support of
his contention that a. member of Con-
gress had the right to assail the
policy of the government

business world, though his salary be
small, through the custom of the
ages has ever opened to him the priv
ilege of asking a return of an honest
and sincere love, but the laboring
woman, what avenue is open to her?
Often, very often, she is woman of
strong character, fine intellect, eff
cient and cheerful in her labor. She
is denied the same pay for her work
that the man receives who works be-
side her. Sometime ago | was told
that the citrus exchange of my state
controls four million dollars annually.
The manager receives five thousand
dollars a year for his services. One
of the directors of this exchange turn
ed to me and enthusiastically said:
"And let me tell you, he has the
finest stenographer ever saw. Why,
that girl knows the business as well
as he does. She looks after it per-
fectly for days when he is away and
1 have never been in the office when
she couldn't instantly lay her hands
on any information under question.
She's a regular crackerjack!"
"And how much does she receive ?"
asked.
"Oh, she gets fine salary; she
gets ninety dollars. But she is worth
it,"
The manager gets five thousand,
and this young woman, twenty-nine
years old, gets thousand eighty.
What does she give this man in bust
ness? The stuff that life is made of:
youth, strength, efficiency, industry,
accuracy, all the assets of nature. She
knows that every year she works
takes her farther away from the
ideals and dreams that every normal
woman hopes will some day come to
pass. Her parents grow old and pass
to the great beyond. She finds her

PEACE FARLEY BEGUN
Representatives of Teutonic Al.
lies and Russia Meet.
Germans Play Trump Card and Elect
Won kuhlmann, Foreign Sec
rotary as Chairman.

I London, Dec. 26. Peace negotia-
lions between the Teutonic allies and
the Russians have begun at Brest-Lit-
ovsk, and apparently the enemy has
played a trump card at the outset, for
o. the proposal Of Prince Leopold Of
Bavaria, the German commander-in-
chief on the Russian front, DR.. Won
Kuehlmann, the German foreign secre-
tary, and an astute politician, has been
chosen unanimously as Official chair
A noteworthy fact in the compost
ton of the delegations from the vari-
Gus countries allied with the Austro-
Germans is that they include men who
have stood high in the councils of
their respective countries. while the
men who are to handle Russia's in
terests for the most part are unknown
in world politics.
Still another outstanding fact in the
meager details Of the formation of
the conference that thus far have
come through is that Roumania is not
credited with having sent delegates.
The possibility is, therefore, that Rou-
mania has decided to hold aloof from
discussing a separate peace, notwith.
standing the fact that geographically
she will be completely isolated
from her allies should the negotia'
tons result in Russia quitting the war.

1euton Prisoners In Hands Of italians
Says Enemy Is Preparing For Fur

With the French Armies in North.
ern Italy, Dec. 26.-(By Associated
Press)-Losing the Monte Asolone
positions within "a hours after they
had captured them, thus being une1-
pectedly baked in their march toward
the plain the Austro-German forces are
concentrating heavily, according to
reports, north and northeast of this
important approach to dominating
Monte Grappa.
A new and unexpected vigorous on
slought on the barriers to the plains
is expected soon, not only at Grappa
itself, but on the Asiago plateau and
possibly on the Lower Piave, where
enemy troop concentrations also are
recorded
Although expert opinion appears
to be approaching unanimity that
tho Austrians have given up hope of
breaking through the Italian line at
present, so far as to force another
great retreat, information indicates
the enemy wants to achieve another
big success by capturing all peaks
commanding the plain and would
vastly prefer a position at the north
ern limit of the plain, where climatic
conditions would favor his troops
while possession of the peaks would
enable him to control the territory
for miles in front of them.
Enemy Far From Objective.
A visit to the Grappa sector, how
ever, is sufficient to reveal convinc'
ingly how far the enemy is from
achieving these detectives and how
formidable the Italian positions are
backed up by a ~rejuvenated army,
Immediately after the regaining OIL
the Asolene heights, the correspon
dent found it possible to proceed to
a vantage point slightly south and
west of Grappa, which, at the time
was being viciously bombarded with
shrapnel by the enemy, who had lost
it a few hours before.
=. Had the enemy been able to hold
it and capture Monte Grappa, which
latter is the enemy's objective as the
completely dominating position OF
the entire range, this key position
would have been seriously menaced
Their rebuff at this important
point, however, keeps the Austro
German forces not only at a consid
cradle distance from the plain they
are seeking, but makes their prog
ress toward it difficult now that the
weather conditions are increasing In
severity.
Furious Battles Predicted.
The concentrations on the Asiagc
plateau and along the lower Piave
while perhaps numerically less i'm
portant than those in the Grappa re
gion, are ADMITTEDLY for the same
purpose, according to the admissions
of prisoners, who say the condition Of
their troops is terrible and they
must at all costs secur a line or
the plain and control the Brenta and
Piave valleys so that they will not
have to endure the winter in the
mountains.
I'VE must secure these things a
whatever price and sacrifice may be
necessary" were the words in which
one Austrian summed up the sit
uation. The prisoners, Virtual!
without exception, predict that th'
lend of this year will be marked by
furious battles which will last a fort
night"
