SOMEWHAT DRASTIC LANGUAGE

Word has been brought to the Lead
er that there is a German living on
what is known as Staley's point, who
is actively sympathetic with Germany
and vociferously il not actively an
tagonistic to American interests, and
loud in his abuse of President Wilson.
1t may be all right for Americans to
criticise their own presidents &C
tiOns, but how long would an Ameri-
can live in Germany if he dared criti
csc the kaiser? We suggest that this
mans actions be investigated, and if
the reports concerning him are true
place him in the concentration camp
with other German prisoners of war.
That America is full of German spies
there is no doubt when the fact that
the American torpedo fiotilla had sail
ed and the port of destination was
published in Berlin four days before
they arrived, while the American peo-
pie did not even know they had sail
ed. We are at war with a powerful,
unprincipled and murderous people,
a people who practice the ways of
the serpent, and if we allow them to
run loose in America we have no le-
ultimate kick coming when they stab
us in the back. Round up these sym
pathizers with baby-murderers and
give them a fair trial. If they can't
prove that they are harmless to the
American interests the concentration
camps are the proper place for them,
for there they can do little harm

AN APPEAL TO COLORED FARM
WIVES OF MARION COUNTY

My Dear Friends: We are facing
the greatest economic problem in
history. The scarcity of foodstuffs
during the pending crisis will render
the country in greater need for a
much larger supply OF farm produce
than in the past years. Much can be
done toward the pe1petIGtion of our
liberty, and the dignity and honor of
our flag by those Who nave not the
physical power to fight directly for it,
Men are not the only means whereby
governments, states and institutions
are strengthened or perpetuated. Let
every housewife. every mother. every
woman and girl of whatever sphere re-
member that her immediate station
in life is Just as important. as far as
it goes, as anybody else's. We all
are created for some purpose, and it
is up to the individual to make the
most of that purpose, whatever it may
be-
Everybody cannot teach, everybody
cannot preach. everybody cannot vote

leges; but everybody can do some

Every year thousands OF dollars
are thrown away by the waste of i'm

more toward increasing the high cost
of living in Florida than anything
else. This surplus invariably results
in extreme scarcity, when the season
OF plenty is past. Let every energetic

that no surplus this year is wasted.

With the coming of our New Year,
January l, 1917, Gordon Lee Boring,
aged 1S, born September II, 1898,
was taken i'll and confined to his bed,
from which he was taken Sunday,
May 90 to the Marion county hospital
at Ocala, Fla, and was operated on
May "A, for appendicitis, from which
he steadily imprOved-but died Sat
urday at $40 a. M, with abscess of
the brain. Though petted. loved and
cherished, not only by his family, but
the entire community, our loving Sa-
vior saw best to carry him to his
home, where suffering and anguish
is no more. Like a pure, sweet lily,
he came, lived and grew, and filled
the little place God had intended for
HING Though his years were short
he lived them so that when he was
called he could enter his final rest
ing place with his little sister, who
had gone only few short years be-
fore to prepare a place for him, so
when he was laid to rest, and his
many friends covered his bier with
roses of love, his loved ones could
only say: 1--WE loved you, yes, we low
ed you, but Jesus loved you more, and
he has sweetly called you to yonder
shining shore
He leaves to mourn his death his
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. w.

The Elks' Picnic One of the Biggest
Social Stunts Ever Pulled OFF
in This City

The picnic given at Silver Springs
Friday afternoon and evening by the
Ocala lodge of Elks was a tremen-
dous success.
This picnic was given for the pur
pose of bringing the Elks and their
families together for enjoyment and
pleasure, and also to interest the peo-
pie of Ocala in this order, and to
show them what Elkdom is, and this
picnic surely fulfilled this purpose It
far exceeded the biggest expectations
of its promoters, and it will be re-
membered as one of the biggest and
most delightful affairs ever given in
Ocala.
The crowd began going out TO Sill
yer Springs about three-thirty in the
afternoon, and from that hour on I'M
til quite late at night there was a
constant stream of automobiles go
ing TO and coming from the springs.
There was a boat ride on the CITY
of Ocala in the afternoon, and many
who did not take this trip went in
swimming, and for an hour or more
thoroughly enjoyed themselves in
this refreshing and ivigorating water.
Just at dark the lights were turned
on and the supper served. And such
a bountiful supper! There was an
abundance of the best chicken pillau
anyone ever tasted, And ham sand
witches, tongue sandwiches, crackers.
pickles. coffee and lemonade galore.
Mr.. ]. H. Spencer and Mr. Harry
Peter were the chief cooks, and were
ably assisted by Mrs. Spencer, Mrs.
Stiles. Mrs. Thomas and others. Over
three hundred were served at supper
on long tables arranged under the
trees. Everyone seemed to be raven
ously hungry and athere was plenty
to feed everyone and some left over.
After supper there was more boat
riding and more swimming. and the
crowd was augmented by many more
who did not go out in the afternoon
nor for supper.

proposal, that France and England
themselves may have just as much
use for the labor of the German pris-
Oners as we have. In both countries
labor is becoming scarce, and captur-
ed enemies are being drafted more
and more into various forms of indus
trial service they may not want to
lend us their prisoners, after all the
trouble they've taken to get them. It
may be questioned, too, whether the
known presence of Germans on trans
atlantic ships would deter the Ger
man admiralty from sinking the ships
No scruples of that sort have been
shown heretofore. And only recently
a British hospital ship with passen-
ger list consisting chiefly of wound
ed Germans was torpedoed in the
British Channel Still. it might be
worth trying

not. is by no means wholly selfish. It

I've would educate these prisoners
to understand our democratic ideals.
We could supply them with lectures
and with literature explaining to them
the meaning of freedom. After the
conclusion of peace there would re-
turn to Germany a million apostles of
freedom and democracy. to lay the
foundation of a better Germany, and
this would assure the peace of the
world"
If that could be done, it would GER

NEW USE FOR WAR PRISONERS

An American citizen named Ludwig
Fraenkel makes a novel suggestion
regarding the disposal of German
prisoners of war held in allied coun-
tries He would bring them over here
and put them to work on our farms.
Thus he would solve the problem of
American farm labor. And incident
ally he would help to remove the sub.
marine menace.
Our ships. he explains, generally re-
turn from a European voyage without
cargo. They are subject, naturally,
to U-boat attacks. If every returning
ship bore German prisoners, says Mr.
Fraenkel, the U-boats would let them
alone. Thus, he believes. our subma-
rine losses might be cut down so per
cent.
1t might be said, in reply to this

THE WAR AND BUSINESS

AS to the effect the war will have
on business, there are two salient
facts to be considered; it will greatly
increase production, and it will keep
prices high. These facts necessarily
augur good business.
The wealth of the country is in pro-
duction and increased production at
good prices necessarily means more
money ii the hands of the people.
More money means larger expendi-
lures and that means active business.
The war will bring tremendous
demand for the products of the farms,
mines End factories. Not only the
armies of the United States but those
of Great Britain, France and Italy are
looking to this country for supplies
of food, munitions and general equip
ment, and we must feed the people
of these countries as well as their
soldiers.
Billions of dollars are to be ex-
pended in the United States for these
purposes, and that money will go into
the pockets of the producers. The
constant employment of all the labor
in the country will be required TO
supply the demand, and ready mar
ket at good prices will be assured for
all that can be produced.
1t seems beyond all controversy
that a condition of that kind will
stimulate business. 1t means great
industrial activity and that is an as
sured concomitant of business.
Where everybody is at work every
body will have more or less money,
and when money circulates freely
among the people it will be spent
with the merchants.
There are some commodities in
trade for which the war will not ere
ate an extraordinary demand, but the
general activity will be in their IA
vor.
1t is estimated that more than hals
the worlds supply of gold is already
in the United States. AS long as all
the world is this country's debtor and
continues to look this way for its
supplies, this gold will not depart.
Money must Necessarily circulate free
ly because there is to be so much
active buying on the part of our own
government and that of the foreign
countries that are looking to us for
support Their purchasing agencies
are already being established here,
and will have billions at their COM
mand to be expended
Such a demand will be put upon
this country as it never knew before,
and the country is aroused to the ne
cessity of a production that will meet
the demand. There will be a ready
market at good prices for anything
anybody has to sell and that all must
necessarily mean brisk business
The entire logic of the situation
points to lively business period.
Those who are holding back and ap-
Drehnesive of evil have not studied
what the logic of the situation por-
tends, but are governed by fears
which have no basis in reason

ENGLAND'S GREATEST GENERAL
ONCE BARRED FROM SERVICE

England now believes that she at
last has the one big man she has
needed to lead her to victory
That man is Sir Douglas Haig, com
handing the British army in France,
and the driving power behind the
great attack which is pushing back
the Germans day after day.
And Haig, called "England's sa-
vior," was once barred from the army
because he was color blind.
Haig, when student at Oxford,
had no idea of joining the army, but
on bet whit a classmate, applied
for admission He was turned down
by the medical board. Determined
he asked the Duke of Cambridge for
help. and through him finally was ac-
cepted without examination.
Haig comes from a noble family of
Scotch stock. He was born June 49,
1861, and married in 1905 TO Dorothy
Vivian, daughter of the Lord Vivian
and maid-in-honor TO Queen AIexan-
dria. They have two daughters
Once in the service, Haig moved up
rapidly. He studied the American
civil war and went to Germany to
study the Prussian military system
He served in the Sudan in 1898, and
was under Kitchener at Albara and
Khartoum.
The first great achievement of
Haig was under General French in
South Africa. during the Boer war in
1899.
He was at mess with other officers
after the Colesburg operations and
the quartermaster was listing the
losses of each man.
Did you lose anything, Haig?"
asked the quartermaster.
Yes answered the young officer
My Bible"
That Unborn piety accompanied
Haig throughout his military career
and the Bible has its place among
his maps and books and is consulted
by the general every day.
Haig was still practically unknown
to the public until the present war
He was in command at the Battle of
Mons. when it looked as if the British
would have to retreat. Haig calmly
studied the situation, and quietly
turned to his subordinates, saying:
We shall hold on here for awhile,
if we die for it." That aroused the
English forces to top the oncoming
Germans. Haig became the hero of
the Mons"
When Cen French was withdrawn
from command of the British forces
in France, the command fell to Haig
He is the man for the job
He has a mastery over his men that
is magnetic, spiritual, rather than ma.
terial He uses no lash. but quiet,
calm orders that no man would dis
obey
Haig is skilled rider He talks
German and French fiuently, and has
a working knowledge of Arabic.
No matter how urgent the war
Gen. Haig takes his regular eight
hours of sleep.
