December Proves
Record Breaker in
Postoffice Mails

The canceliing machine at the post
office. through which all envelopes
and cards of ordinary size have TO pass
showed a total Of 100000 for the
month OF December. This Is 100000
more than was sent during any other
particular month last a II Is
thought also that as many letters and
cards were received as were dispatched
so Postmaster Roehl believes that the
first class mail handled In December
would reach more than 100000 letters
and cards. The number Of Christmas
packages dispatched and received was
placed at 10000.
Postmaster ROehl said hat theiT
force had no difficulty in ~dispcsiHg OF
the enormous amount of Christmas
packages. He wished 10 thank the
public for the greater are they took
in wrapping of bundles.
The receipts for the yea just past
show a total Of s%99.032.3s. This h
sl4.s41.s4 more than the report OF

THE SOLDIERS RISK

Chins up and smiling, score of
young conscripts caught step and
swung across the court house yard to-
ward the railroad stations where they
would take train for their canton
ment. The band played, the crowd
cheered. and all those present-to
nearly every one of whom one or more
Iof those marching boys was an init
mate figure, known time out of mind
by his nickname-felt that they were
experiencing one of LIES high mo-
ments.
And as the crowd began to dispense
a middle-aged professional man, who
ought to have known better, remark
| ed somberly to his companion: "All
the same, when they step aboard a
transport for France they can kiss
themselves goodbye"
A bald statement that ten million
men have been killed in this war al
most inevitably gives an exaggerated
idea of its deadliness, because the
proportion is left out of account That
statement has given rise to all sorts
of grotesque mortality reports-man
of them innocent but some Of them
undoubtedly malicious-by which it
would appear that the life of a soldier
at the front was only matter of so
many weeks or months. A child ought
to know that such grisly reports can
have no relationship whatever to the
facts
Say we now have a million men I'M
der arms, all in good health and of
an average of twenty-five. Say peace
comes tomorrow and those men return
to non-hazardous civil occupations.
Eight thousand of them will surely
die within year. Mortuary Stats
tics covering many years show that
Individually. Among those Of them
who engage in hazardous occupations
the ratio will be higher.
BY exactly what figure war will null
tiply that ratio no one can pretend
to tell. But it is a fact that the NOR
tally rate on the western front has
been decreasing for some time; that
eighty-five per cent or more of the
wounded recover full physical efficien.
cy; and that if million Americans
were engaged at the front throughout
1918 the death rate for the United
States that year would still be decid-
edly lower than it was in 1900.
It is deadly and terrible business;
but gross exaggerations of it's deadli-
ness are superfiuous cruelty-Sat-

At the next session of the Metho-

charge. This is matter of very
great regret to the people of Ocala,

Gross has served his four years here
and it is impossible for him to be re-
turned for another year.
The Methodist church Of Ocala is
one among the largest Methodist
churches in the state. DR.. Gross has
served the church faithfully and well
in every branch Of the work, and
many have been added to the church
and the work greatly enlarged and
built up under his pastorate and no
minister who has ever been sent to
Ocala has been more generally pop
ular. He is a splendid preacher and
is going to be greatly missed in
Ocala when he leaves for his new
home, which will be now only few
weeks hence.
