THANK kSGIvING

For the grasses and the grains,
For the joys and for the gains,
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!

The camp site was first purchased
by public subscription by the people
of Jacksonville. This movement was
carried on by the chamber of COM

the city to the state to be used as a
camp for the national guardsmen.
After this the government bought ad-

1t was at first a wilderness, having
quickly grown up with tropical trees
and shrubbery after being left unin-
habited by the former Spanish sub
iects. Since it was improved the rifle
ranges have been erected and it was
one of the three largest ranges in the
country. The range, however, is still
intact and with the demolishing of a
few of the structures will be ready
for use again.
The site was first used by the Ma.
tional Guard of Florida in 1909 II
was a brigade camp, the First and
Second regiments of infantry camping
there. Then it was little more than q
wilderness, but it has been used al
most every year since and has been
improved wonderfully.
1t was the idea of Gen. Foster tt
make the site camp for the Nation
al Guard as well as playground ant
a park for the city people. Now thu

Jacksonville. Nov. 26.-Within
three weeks, it is announced, all
buildings Of the remount station, as
we'll as those of the base hospital. Will
be completed at Camp Johnston. Dur
ing the present week the force of the
A. Bentley Company has been cut
down 1000 men, leaving about 1000 at
work on the remount station and the
base hospital. But with the soldiers
constantly arriving no decrease in the
number of men at the camp can be
seen by an observer.
Construction work of all kinds Is
80 per cent complete, while the
plumbing is progressing rapidly, as
we'll as the sewerage. The building
of roads down the company streets
will soon be completed and then trav.

ZELICA GROTTO

The ceremonial of Zelica Grotto
Wednesday, March 81, is being anx-
iously looked forward to by all the
Prophets of the III. o. V. P. E. R.
The banquet feature alone is
drawing card. At this toasts from
the different members will be heard.
A prominent Prophet of the Grotto
acting as POSTMASTER.
Some very interesting features and
forms of initiation are being planned,
and you can bet it is something full
of wit, excitiment and perhaps to
some thrilling, but guaranteed not
dangerous, injurious or anything to
be afraid of.
At this ceremonial the souls of the
candidates are purged of pessimism
and nothing allowed to enter Their
minds, except that which savors of
enrolling and optimistic thoughts.
Everybody smiles widely and to the
extreme limit, even the candidate
himself, not just to be doing so, but
because they enjoy every moment
and naturally can't help it.
There will be candidates of all
kinds, large and small, fat and skinny
and either need have no fear of not
receiving everything coming his way
for the goat will fit them all.
The annual convention of the Grot-
to this year is to be held in Washing
ton, D. C. From the interest mani
tested by all the Prophets it is ex-
pected that a large delegation will
go from here in a body as the rail-
road company grants reduced rates
for the occasion, or arrangements
may be made to join at Flomaton the
delegation from New Orleans who GO
in a private car.

GENERAL PUBLIC MUST
STAY OFF RESERVATION

Misunderstanding because of the
strict guard placed around the aero
nautic stations, and at the Big Bayou
bridge, have caused some inconven-
fence to persons travelling on the
government reservations, and have
led to an explanation by J. G. Holtz-
claw, traffic manager of the Elec-
trie Company.
Mr.. Holtzclaw said that the policy
of the navy department in prohibit
ing entrance to the reservation except
to those having bushes there, neces-
states the maintenance of a guard at
the bridge, where the reservation be-
gins, and again at the walls around
the yard proper.
1t is the duty of these guards to
stop any one at the bridge not having
good business reason for entering,
and the taking OF persons off the cars
is beyond the control of the COM
pany, whose lines run across the
reservation, subject to control by the
commandant. Every persons is told
of the guard as far as is possible.

"The Challenge"

The feature at the Bonita theater
tomorrow, in connection with the
local picture, F'The Wrecker," is the
Pathe Gold Rooster play, "The Chal-
lenge," produced by the Astra Film
Corporation from the famous A. H,
Woods stage success of the same
name with a splendid cast. Donald
Mackenzie directed the production
and Bertram Milhauser made the
scenario.
The strong tale of achievement be-
gins with the words in which a genius
voices the thoughts that are in the
minds of every man forced to work
for others and knows nothing but
happens to have money:
"They say Here is the problem;
| work it out and we whose genius
makes deserts bloom and bridges
| impossible holes in the earth, we who
work it out must sign to the plans
| the names of the fools who don't
know the difference between a COM
pass and a TT square. God, for a
| big job in my own name"
With such theme "The Challenge"
appeals to everyone and every audi
ence. 1t is splendidly directed. and
| its wonderful outdoor settings carry
an atmosphere of the great work
that will make auiences feel they
are taking part in the dramatic
events of the story.
