HEBEL RED CROSS NETS 500
ThrOngs Gather at Modern Farm So
cial Given Thursday Evening

Two extra flat cars in addition to
the electric suburban, over fifty mo-
tor arr and numerous miscellaneous
vehicles bore a great crowd of peo-
pie from Mexico and the surrounding
country to the fine country home of
j. H. Hebel Thursday evening, where
an ice cream social for the benefit Of
the Red Cross was given. The net
receipts of the entertainment r es-
timated at 500, and the total amount
taken in was SITS.
The house and lawn of the beautiful
modern home were crowded to oven
flowing, and 80 gallons Of ice cream
disappeared like magic, not to say
anything of the numerous cakes. The
evening was spent very p~rofitably
both socially and financially.
All the proceeds will go to the Rec
Cross fund.

Of all civic, and national reform. In
the Red Cross campaign he was very
energetic and in all Better Mexico

some up-to-date messages which are
truly valuable, and everyone who hears
him likes his ann of delivery.

Madison in the east central part Of
that fine Southern State, and is an
enterprising business-like town OF
somewhere near 5000 inhabitants
1t is a railroad center and is accommo-

No new drawing of numbers at

s%ummoning the second national army
will start exactly where it left off in
completing the call for the first

AN IMPROVEMENT
STRIPPING Will Try to Effect Much
Needed Saving

A movement instigated by Mr.. w.
W. STRIPPING, Marion county's live tax
collector, will probably mean much to
the taxpayers of Florida. He has for
some months been working on an or
ganization of the tax collectors of
Florida, the purpose of which is to
"get together" and discuss ways and
means of simplifying the making of
reports, etc.
He had intended putting off the ac-
|tual organization until next spring,
but the apparent need of such action
appealed so strongly to number of
ether collectors over the state that
they have requested that the mater
be taken up at once. In compliance
with the requests of a number of col
lectors, Mr.. Stripping has called a
meeting for Tuesday, October 9th, In
Jacksonville. The meeting will be at
the Aragon hotel.
Mr.. Stripling's outline of the pur-
poses of the organization contem-
plates many changes which will mean
much in simplifying the methods now
employed in the collection of taxes
and therefore a reduction of the ex-
lenses connected Herewith.

AMERICA WILL SUPPLY ITALY
(Associated Press)

Rome, Aug. 25.-( Correspondence.
"The gap left by the withdrawal OF

Italy is gradually being filed by
American products" said II. P. Ben
ton. an American who has for many
years been manager of one of Italy's
largest department stores" but II
Americans wish to hold this trade
they must get around to extending
credits and catering to the trade by
making small-lot sales.
"I do not mean that Americans
should do business like the Germans,
because they can't. German business
was often losing proposition. The
less was made up in many cases by
direct subsidies of twenty-five per
cent to firms pushing German goods.

Milan that handled German hosiery.
BY having this line of goods manu-
factured in Germany in its own shops
instead of in Italy, it received this
subsidy and therefore undersold not

business methods were not really bus

than half are small fruit brandy

ed in the latter class is not great in
the aggregate The capital invested
in the big producing plants mounts
high into the millions. Officials here
believe that losses will be more than

CUT THE WEEDS

Now is the time for cutting those
weeds about your premises, trimming
up your shrubbery and the parkway
in front of your home, and giving the
lawn an extra touch in the way Of
beautifying things.
The growing season for weeds is
now past for this season and the only
part they have in the general scheme
Of nature is to ripen and scatter their
seeds for next years crop.
Just try. the plan of giving half
hour each morning before breakfast
to cleaning up and brushing up your
home and its surroundings. After
week of this pleasant exercise, take
look at the place and compare it in
your minds eve with its appearance
the wee kbefore. The result will be
surprising and the pleasure it is
bound to give You viii be worth many
times the effect.
Then, again the season has now ar
rived when people from all over the
country will be driving to Florida IN
their cars looking for a pleasant place
| to locate for the winter and perhaps
make their permanent home. To these
people we want to put forward our
! best appearance, and nothing so much
pleases the eye of stranger and
makes a more favorable impression
Iupon him as to the character of the
town than neatly kept lawns and
home surroundings.
Monday, Sept. 10th, would make a
fine day for beginning the trim-up
lcampaign. Try it and let's vie with
each other in having the least amount
of rubbish. weeds and unsightly nuis-
ances about our homes.
| A coat of whitewash on the back
fences and smaller outbuildings would
also add untold good looks to the
lplace.
Wake up, and let's try this for z
tcouple of weeks.

PARISIANS WANT GOOD
BREAD AND PICTURES
Want Delicacies and Fun to Help
Them Support the Burden
of War


Paris Correspondence of the Asso-
ciated Press Firmly resolved as
they are to submit to any sacrifice to
ensure victory, the Parisians have
shown far more passive resistance to
limitations of bread and amusements
than to any of the many restrictions
that they have to endure. At one
time, in order to economic lighting
and coal, the theaters were closed two
rights a week and movies were cut
down by several shows. This regula-
tion very soon quietly dropped out of
observation and theaters, music halls
and cinemas resumed full time opera
ton.
AS for bread, the war began by
Tubbing the Partisan of his little rolls
and crescents which he was convinced
was the only civilized form of taking
the days first meal. Then it took
away his fancy bread and now the
last straw, it has taken away white
bread altogether.
With bread reduced to the present
unpopular quality, although some
bakers make it quite good, the oppo-
sition to the last stage in bread regu-
Iation, the bread card, has hardly ex-
listed. The unhappy Partisan, who has
quite foresworn his habit of demand
ing more bread, has a secret hope that
bread cards may effect such an econo-
nv that he may once more be allowed
his beloved white bread, and after the
recent experiences he is quite prepar-
ed to limit his consumption severely
if the reduced allowance is only OF
good quality.
