PROMINENT FLoRIpIAN IN,
pICTED

State Senator Shepard of Gadsden
county, president of the Farmers Ed
ucational and Cooperative Union of
Florida, has been indicted by the fed
eral grand Jury, sitting in Pensacola,
charged with opposing the army draft
law. 1t is a serious charge the gov
eminent has against the senator. It is
stated in the Indictment that Senator
Shepard introduced a resolution at
farmers meeting in Gadsden coun-
ty condemning the draft law and ex-
pressing determination to resist it.
claiming that it was unconstitutional.
It also charges that during the ses-
sion of the legislature Shepard de-
clared he did not intend to permit
his son to register and would forci-
bly, resist any attempt to compel him.
If these charges prove true, it will go
hard with the senator. and it ought to.
This unconstitutional tommy wat
son rot needs few examples of stern
punishment on the part of the govern
ment to uproot it. The highest courts
have spoken. The law is not only
constitutional, but it is wise law and
one that the great mass Of pure bred
Americans approve. Senator Shepard
is one of the leaders in the Garden"
movement in Florida, and with Billy
Parker has served as "bunco" man
for Sidney J.-Palatka News.

1t can't be done.

there IS m,nce PIE there just isn't any real
Thanksgiving dinner.
And since !, takes mince pic 10 top of
the feast dinners. wouldn't it be good idea
TO have mince pie TO top off many of the
other good meals Wouldn't it just MAKE
the meal on many occasions
As you probably know, None Such MINcE
MEAT comes in ali up to date package
form-secure from handling; is moderate in
price aud becomes three times the package
weight when you add the necessary moisture
Il is the economical way to buy mince
meat because il prevents waste.
The package recipes are good for pies,
cakes, buildings, and cookies
Try NONE SUCH War Pie--no top
crust. Saves -four, shortening, labor, money
half the crust. Helps the U. S. Food

chief clerk in the office of the state
comptroller, under whose direction
the operation of the new license tag
tax was placed when the last legisla-
ture created this department. Shorn
of all the why's and wherefores, the
meat of the situation is that there
are just forty more days in this year.
and between now and January /, 1917,
each motor vehicle in the state of
Florida must secure a new license
tag, or the aforesaid vehicle must re-
main in the garage or under the oak
tree, as the case may be, until the Ii
cense is procured. Under the new law
it is a criminal offense to operate a
car, motorcycle, truck or other mo-
tor driven conveyance without a Ii
cense, and, according to Mr.. Mcintosh,
all sheriffs, constables and officers
clothed with authority to arrest per-
sons will be instructed to-enforce the
law.
There will be no opportunity for
peace officers to play politics. for, in
addition to the officers in the various
communities, the comptroller's office
will have special agents, whose duty
it will be to see that the officers are
doing their duty and that cars are not
permitted to operate without license.
please tell the people" said Mr.
Mcintosh, that our office force is will
ing to exert every effort to get them
their license numbers on time, but it
will be physical impossibility to do
so if the large majority of owners
wait until the last week or two before
sending in their requests. ] hope the
people will cooperate with us and
Immediately order their 1918 licenses
for their cars"

THE poPE's PEACE NOTE
ocala. Fla. Nov. %. 1917


TO the Editor 0cala Banner:
/ note one of your correspondents
says in this mornings Banner: THE
pope's peace note will prolong the
war;
would state to you and all who
criticise the peace paper of the pope:
The pope is Christ's vice gerent on
earth, and did not our Lord emphasize
the commandment. Thou shalt not
kill?" How could the pope sit quietly
and consistently, not trying as far as
in him ieth, to arrest this frightful
carnage of the best and finest men OF
the world, not to speak Of the other
soul-sickening atrocities committed
by wild and savage passions uncon-
trolled?
The note was just and of the high
est craftsmanship, impregnated with
religion and love.
Catholic Austria-Hungary and Ba-
varia are now voicing their loyalty to
their countries, making their express
sion stronger on account of the nihil-
ism and anarchy in Russia, which nj
hilism and anarchy is, sui generis. the
republican idea of government as I'M
derstood by the Russians
The peace note had nothing to do
with prolonging the war; The afro
cious Selling of the government by
the nihilists of Russia, the releasing
of criminals and anarchists of Siberia,
is the reason of the prolongation of
the war.
All persons who have arrived at
the age of-reason know that the en-
peror of Germany would never accept
the pope's terms of peace; Germany
is atheisticalIy Lutheran, and its adj
ministration of the law has been in.

THANKSGIVING

For the grasses and the grains,
For the joys and the pains,
For the orchards mellow fruit.
And the forests sturdier roof.
For the bloom beside the path,
For the meadows aftermath,
And the winter times delay,
We will keep Thanksgiving Day.
For the sunshine and the rain.
Frost and dew and frost again
For the wind. the storm, the tide,
Natures life our own beside,
For the deed to which she spurs,
And the thought her beauty stirs,
For the bird song and the star,
Thankful all, and glad, we are!

DEATH or SERGEANT LEITNER
At CAMP WHEELER

A report was current on our streets
Saturday afternoon that Sergeant
James A. Leitner was another one OF
the victims who had died of measles
and pneumonia at Camp Wheeler, but
we could not run down the rumor to
any authentic source, so we sincerely
hope that it is not true.
Sergeant Leitner is a son of Mr..
Buford Leitner, one of the oldest and
most esteemed citizens of the county.
He has been member of Company
A, the Ocala Rifles, now part of
the national army, for number of
years, and his popularity was shown
by his having been elected top SER
geant and held that position while the
company was doing service on the
border last summer and made a fine
record in every way. He was famil-
iarly known as Dude" and enjoyed
the confidence and esteem of his com
rades in a marked degree.
Mr. Burford Leitner was in Ocala
Friday morning and had only heard
that his son was desperately i'll with
both measules and pneumonia, since
which time no kilograms or telephone
messages have been received telling
of Sergeant Leitner's death, SO we
hope that the report is without foun-
dation.

FUNERAL OF SERGEANT LEITNE

FUNERAL OF SERGEANT LEiTNER
This paper in its Sunday edition
printed an account of the reported
death of James Edward Leitner of
Oak
On Sunday morning the truthful
ness of the rumor was sadly confirm
ed.
The young soldier died at 1870
o'clock Saturday afternoon and his
body was Immediately prepared for
shipment home.
His sister, Mrs Dyal, was with him
some time before his death and her
gentle administrations soothed and
comforted him in his last hours His
father, too, fastened to his bedside,
but the brittle cord of life was broken
before he reached him.
Sergeant Leitner is the second of
Marion cOuntys soldiers to sacrifice
their young lives since the establish
ment of Camp Wheeler, near Macon,
young Mr.. Madden having been buried
at Spar the week before.
Sergeant Leitner had been a mem,
Der of the Ocala Rifles for eleven
years, and his popularity was shown
by his election as sergeant, which po-
sition he held until his death
He was with his company at Black
Point, and was with it during the
months it was on the border, and the
universal verdict is that he more and
more endeared himself to his com.
rades.
The funeral of the young soldier
was the largest ever seen at Anthony,
There must have been more than
three hundred Of his neighbors and
friends TO witness the last sad rites
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. Sanders, local pastor OF
the Methodist church at Anthony and
Rev. r. Strickland. pastor of the Bap
fist church at Oak.
Both of these divines paid beauti
full tributes to his memory, one saying
that his life was so blameless that nc
evil word was ever heard spoken
against him by anyone in the commu
nifty. and his sacrificing his life fol
his country and his country's flag was

to bear their great sacrifice bravel,
and courageously.

Since the above was put in tpye the
report of Sergeant Leitner's death has
been authenticated. His is the first

Also, IL any other managers desire to
