SPLENDID GET-TOGETHER
MEETING AT SPARR

The meeting of the Marion county
agricultural meeting held yesterday
in the Kendig grove at Sparr was a
decided success. Several of those
present remarked that it was the best
strictly agricultural meeting they
had ever attended, in that more in-
terest was shown by the farmers
present in the talks made and that
the talks were all along lines of vital
interest to the farmers.
Although the weather was unfav-
orable the crowd would easily total
200 The ladies of the fifth commits
sioner's district upheld their reputa-
tion for hospitality. The dinner
tables were a concrete example OF
what Marion county can produce.
There was enough chicken to feed 3
Methodist conference and enough
cake to feed a newsboy's picnic.
"There was plenty for everybody and
everybody-ate a plenty"
Talks were made by Prof. Spencer,
assistant director of the extension
work in Florida; DIR. Chapman, who
has charge of the tick eradication
work in this section, and W. D. earn,
who spoke in the interest Of the fair.
Several talks were made by farmers
present and a demonstration Of corn
for seed selection was given by Mr.
w. NJ. Gist.
These get-together meetings are
proving popular and each one has .
wider attendance than the last. There
were men present from all sections
of the county and better spirit OF
friendliness and cooperation will be
the result.

SUICIDE OF B. A. HAMMOND

News was received here early this
morning of the suicide by shooting
of Mr.. B. A. Hammond of Blitchton,
which occurred at Palatka yesterday
evening. Mr.. Hammond was teaching
in one of the school in or near that
city.
The news was telephoned to DIR. S.
III. Blitch's home at Blitchton, where
the young man was raised on a neigh
boring farm, and DR.. Bitch was in
town early this morning to make ar
rangements for receiving the body
and the funeral services.
The body arrived at II o'clock and
was taken to the home at Blitchton.
Mr.. Hammond's mother and sister
were away from home and could not
be communicated with, up to late to-
day.
Mr.. Hammond was the son of Mr.
and Mrs. w. P. Hammond of Bitch
ton. He was born and raised there
and his is one of the best and most
substantial families of that section.
Absolutely no reason for the young
mans rash act is known. He held a
first grade teachers certificate, was
graduate of the state normal and
held the respect and friendship of all
who knew him. He was about 81
years of age.

allowed for dinner and rest.
During the afternoons the work is
likely to be varied and to include addi-
tional setting-up exercises and other
drills, target practice, bayonet exer-
cises, and later more advanced drill
ing. About five o'clock comes the
evening parade and retreat" when
the flag is lowered or furled for the
night. The band plays "The Star
Spangled Banner" while all officers
and soldiers stand at attention. The
ceremony is designed to deepen each
mans respect and love for the flag
which he serves; it is always impress
sive. After the flag is lowered, it is
carefully folded and escorted by the
guard to headquarters, where it is
kept until next morning, when it is
raised again.
Supper comes between five and siz
o'clock, and is usually followed by a
period of rest. In the training camp:
there will be many opportunities fol
variety of healthful amusements-
for sports, music, the theater, and SC

sounded by ten o'clock. This is the
signal to put out all lights, retire
and keep quiet. ''It closes the day
for the soldier and sends him to his
blankets tired and sleepy man."
This is only a sample of day in
camp. On some days your company
will go off on "hikes." After a time
there may be longer marches, wher
you will carry your shelter tents with
you and will make your own camp
each evening. These are days that
will be especially interesting. You vii
learn the soldiers art of adapting
yourself to new situations and max
ing yourself comfortable.
Your officers will ask you to do
nothing that they have not many
times done themselves. They will ask
nothing of you which any normal,
healthy man cannot do. After a
month or two you will find that you
have begun to take on some Of the
skill and the self-reliance of real

All Counter Attacks on Western Front Repuls-
ed by the Allies
MESSAGE FROM GENERAL KOROFF SAYS RUSSIAN SOLDIERS ARE RAPIDLY RECOVERING
THEIR MORALE
associate PrO

The Germans lost no time in trying
to regain the territory they lost in
the Entente drive yesterday, but
without permanent result. They not
only attacked on two Belgian sectors,
but made thrust on the Aisne front
and near Verdun, gaining temporary
footholds against the British in Bel
gium and the French on the Aisne,
but were driven out and old lines re-
established. Efforts to regain lost
ground on the Steenbeker river
were completely repulsed, Paris re-
ports, as were attacks near Verdun.
General Korniloff, the Russian
commander in chief, stated that the
Russian morale had been greatly
strengthened by the energetic meas
ures inaugurated, and predicted mill
tary operations on a vast scale on
the Rumanian front.
The Germans report the retaking
of Langenmark, but the British re-
port fighting still in progress there.

SOME CATTLE SELLING

Two Montbrook farmers and stock
raisers the other day sold bunch of
beef cattle off the range for fatten-
ing for the neat sum of $4,000.
A few days before, one of the old
cracker farmers and range cattle
men, away back in the woods, be-
tween Morriston and Cedar Keys,
sold herd of 1000 head of range
cattle for about $50 per head. This
cattle baron has 10000 head of Flor
ida range cattle roaming the woods
of western Levy county. 1t is not
hard to figure him worth some money
when range beef cattle in the woods
are bringing around $50 head and
hard to get at that.

First Days i'm Camp

When the time comes for you to
enter the army, you will be instruct
ed to report at some convenient place
in your own neighborhood. The exact
instructions will be given later. AS
quickly thereafter as proper arrange
ments can be made, you and the other
men who are assigned to report to the
same officer will be transported to the
training camp (or cantonment, as it
is sometimes called).
There will be nearly forty thousand
men in each cantonment. The task
of preparing for your arrival is enor-
nous. Each cantonment will require
25, 100000 feet of lumber, $500 doors,
81, 1000 window sashes, 1865 casks of
Portland cement, and 5000 yards of
broken stone. The water supply of a
icantonment will be 100000 gallons
day. 1t will have its own sewerage
system, fire department, bakeries, ice
plants and hospitals. 1t will even
require a gigantic steam-heating
plant. Sixteen cities, each with a pop
ulation of 10000, we'll cared for-that
is the task
In spite of the best efforts, it is
possible that some of the details may
remain unfinished at the beginning of
your camp life. There will be GER
tain amount of hustle and apparent
confusion on the surface. Bear in
mind that underneath it all lies a
Iwell-thought-out plan. In working
out this plan everything possible has
been done for the comfort and con-
veaience of individual soldiers. Don't
| grumble if you run into some temper
ary delays or inconvenience at the
! beginning. One of the tests of good
soldier is his cheerful willingness to
take things as they are and make
| the best of them.
You are naturally interested in
forming some idea of the camp life
| Of a soldier. The description which
follows will help you in forming this
idea. However, there will be many
changes as you go along in your
training.
AS the men in the National Army
must get ready in record-breaking
time, their training will be more
strenuous than that of soldiers in
peace. You will find there is plenty
of hard work ahead of you. The av'
.erage energetic young American will
be glad of it.

in the winter. The buglers sound the
call known as reveille. The men dress
and fall in.
Your first experience of military
drill will probably consist of setting
up exercises" which ordinarily oc-
cupy the first few minutes of the day.
They consist of certain movements of
the head, arms, trunk and legs which
are carefully designed not merely to
develop your muscles but also to in
crease your skill, grace, self-control
and self-reliance. At the same time
they will also put you into the right
frame of mind for a vigorous days
work.
In the mornings when the bugle
rings out the reveille, and you crawl
out of your bunk reluctantly, pos
sibly tired and sore from the previous
days work, you will find yourself
wonderfully refreshed and cheered up
by few minutes vigorous setting-up
exercises. Watch this effect on your
self and you will see why they are

perienced soldiers of the army. 1t

the trained soldier uses for attending

The remaining two or three hours
of the morning are likely to be spent
in drill-at first in "close order" and
later in extended order" also. These
terms will be explained in another
part of this course. AS you advance
the drills will become more and more
interesting. During the drill there
are numerous short periods of rest.
