OCALA MAN KILLED AT THE
FRONT

Mr.. Allan Rodgers of this city has
recently received news that his son,
Mr.. Homer Rodgers, was killed some
time since at the French front, where
he went some months ago to drive an
ambulance. No particulars have been
learned of his death.
Mr. Rodgers was well known here.
As a small boy this was his home, and
after he grew up he returned to
Ocala and for time was employed
by Mr.. r. S. Hall as his chauffeur.
He was a splendid driver, and while
with Mr. Hall he drove the latter's car
from New York to Jacksonville in the
Glidden tour, at which time the edi-
tor of this paper was one OF the occu-
pants of the car as Mr.. Halls guest.
There was not even a puncture on the
entire trip. We regret exceedingly TO
learn of the killing of this young man,
but he gave his life for his country,
than which there can be no more glo-
rious sacrifice.

Petrograd, Oct 1.-The German

Riga, are pushing forward to the east
and SOUTH placing in q difficult posi-
ton the Russian forces and batteries
in the district Of Arensberg, at the

pecially those on the CereI peninsula.
Military critics predict action in the
Gulf OF Riga. followed by development
Of the invasion 10 the mainland, on
the coast Of Esthonia. rather than an
attempt toward the Gulf Of Finland
which is protected by mine fields
which the Germans would have to
sweep. under the menace of the Rus
sian feet.
The landing Of the Germans has in
creased the exodus from Petrograd
which has been noticeable since the
fall of Riga. Since Saturday the ticket
offices have been besieged, many per
sons offering large premiums for tick
cts. The situation is aggravated by
rumors which were branded officially
as unfounded, that passenger traffic
will be stopped shortly in view of the
expected evacuation of government in
situations. 1t is stated in government
circles that no extensive evacuation
is looked for, as no immediate danger
threatens the capital.
The new front is still 800 miles dis
tant, it is pointed out, and the roads
are impossible.

Letter From New York

Well, we are now in the midst of a
war with big world-power, and yet
you would hardly knownit here but
for the big black war news headlines
from Washington in the newspapers,
and the multitudes of American flags
waving on every street of this mon
ster city. Groceries are gradually
climbing in price, too. but they have
some strict laws here to cover food
spectators, several of whom have
been sent to prison. Everybody seems
secure in the feeling that Uncle Sam
will do his Job up brown while he is
about it; so brown that there will be
no need of any more doing Of the
kind for many, many years. Once

submarines land we can do itD auC

and the chances are that none of .,

Fashions S Follies

The American people have run
wild in extravaganza. This war
may be the disguised blessing.
The pinch by high prices may
bring many to realize that the
present pace must check.
The women of America seem
to have forgotten that their hus-
bands are the unwilling slaves of
their extravaganza. In past days
woman cared only to be attrac-
tive to her sweetheart or hus-
band. They dressed only to
please them. Now they care
nothing for either, but dress to
outshine others of their sex.
No wonder so many divorces,
and no wonder so many bache-
lors. A young man on a salary
or a business of his own cannot
be induced to marry and be the
slave of a woman's folly. The
young men who would make good
husbands for worthy women, see
so many Of their friends ground
down by the expenses Of extrav-
agant wives chat they are notori-
ously SHE of even keeping the
company of young ladies, If
young ladies knew just what
young men say of their silly fads
and fashion slavery they would
blush in shame.
Unless there is a change on
the part Of mothers and their
daughters, they may expect to
fail in the object of their crea-
ton to mate and live Che life of
wifehood and true motherhood,
as humanity demands. Future
generations will be from the
lower and foreign walks of life
unless women reform on their
ideas of marrying for money and
not for the true purpose of life.
Women are as much called up
on to bear the burdens of life as
the men. No wonder there are
so many care worn and meek
men who toll day after day to
meet the expenses of an extrav-
agant wife. They plod through
life because, unlike thousands Of
others, they endure their condi-
tion rather than have domestic
infelicity. Thousands of others
break away from the thraldom
through the divorce courts.
1t is up to the thoughtful moth
ers to correct this condition, by
a propaganda against daughters
dressing better than the other
girl.

fecting plans. At
