Chapple will go along to umpire.
Ocala has been On the trail of Hills
borough and Duval all season, trying
to get recognition. A game was sched-

BILLY SUNDAYS TRIBUTE TO

This is the verbatim statement of
Billy Sunday in the Boston taberna-
Gle: Sixty eight per cent. of the men
of the south are in the church. Why?
You may not like it, but the truest
the purest, the finest men and women
in America are south of the Mason
and Dixon line. That's the reason it
took thirty million people to lick eight
million There are more pure-blooded
Americans south of the, Mason and
Dixon line than anywhere else in this
country. That is why so many of
those men are Christians. l say that
even if my old daddy wason of the
boys in blue and fought against them
They were hard to lick down there be-
cause they were real Americans. So

have got the north licked to a FRAGILE

Hon. Adam C. White of Citra was
Saturday visitor. Always in good
humor he is now more so than ever
because he is early expecting visit
from his son, Lieutenant White, who
for the past three years has been do
ing military duty in the Philippines.
Now, that we have declared that a
state of war exists between our gov
eminent and the imperial government
of Germany, Lieutenant White may
be transferred to the army here. In
the Philippines he is in charge of
territory about the size of Marion
county, and is the civil as we'll as the
military factotum. His Marion coun-
ty and especially his Citra friends,
will be glad to see the young lieuten-

This has been an undoubted fight
for the emancipation of Europe and
the emancipation of the world. It was
at first hard for the people of Amer
lea who tried to appreciate that Ger
many had never interfered in a single
step with their freedom. But at last
they have daily to endure the same
experience. Americans were told that
they were not to be allowed to cross
and recross the Atlantic except at
their own peril. The American ships
were sunk without warning. Amer
lean subjects were drowned without
apology, as matter of German right

Just one substance for which it could
not discover definite military value
and that was human hair. Only
eight years ago he says that all the
chief powers of the world put their
heads together on the same problem.
They advised that cotton, wool, rub
Der and metallic ores should be plac-
ed on the non-contraband list on the
ground that none of these articles was
susceptible of use in war. That was
in 1909, and today we are waging a
war in which cotton, wool, rubber and
metallic ores are daily and hourly
found to be military indispensables.
So much for the foresight of the mill
tary expert-so much for the short
ness of human knowledge. 1t is true
that we know not what day may
bring forth None of us are wise
enough to know what war will make
on the resurces of nation. None of
us is able to fix the limitations.

The Preference for One>Piece Frocks

fitted models to the chic Of this de-
sign in cinnamon gabardine. The
color is new and most ably described
by its name. The V-shaped neck is
finished with large collar of ecru
silk gauze stitched with a deep henr.
A sash OF satin in the tone of the
gabardine finished the waist. Buttons
Of self-material or of satin NAV be
used in the scheme of adjustment and
the long one-piece sleeves finished
without the trimming piece, if de-
sired.
To reproduce the model in average
size requires 35s yards 54-inch ma
terial, with y yard satin for trim
ming. Although by following the cut
ting guide carefully 1t will be posi-
BILE to cut the dress with the min
imum of waste, the home dressmaker
will not gain smart lines unless the
sections are laid on the material pre-
cisely as directed. The back and
the collar are placed on the length
wise fold of material, as illustrated.
The side front and side back are laid
on lengthwise thread of the gabar-
dine, the wide end of the side front
and the narrow end of the side back
being placed near together. The sash
and trimming piece for the sleeves
run along the sewage edge, while the
front, sleeve, pocket and pocket welt
are laid on lengthwise thread.
Cinnamon brown is a flattering
color to most women and bids fair
to be exceedingly fashionable during
the fall and winter. 1t comes in all
of the smart materials and is partic
uiariy pretty in the inexpensive vel
veteens, which are used as much as
any fabric for the development OF
one-piece frocks.

application for enlistment, but was re-
fused admittance to the navy on ac-
count of his age and mother object

a man passes examination at this Of

know about this matter, claiming that
while in Symmetrical a young man
told him that if man was rejected
at Atlanta he had to pay his own
travelling expenses back to the recruit
ing office at which he enlisted, and
that on account of this statement a
few young men are hanging back.

+ Viereck's Weekly, formerly the
"Fatherland," says that it has not
much circulation in this state because
Florida is largely covered by the Ev-
erglades (great swamps inhabited only
by the Semonila Indians), so it's
agents have had great trouble in do
ing business here. The Everglades
form comparatively a small portion
of Florida, so Viereck's is badly off

Everglades are they should be drain
