The Startling News That Her Fathers
 Better Bore to Madge.
 Don't look like that Lillian com manded sharply when the door of the living room closed behind me, shutting off the rest of the dinner guests.
 Your fathers all right, yet.
 Her quick institution had divined the fact that I realized the special delivery-registered letter she had re- ceived during her dinner to Robert Savarin was from my father In South Ameria. It was like her, also, to calm my fears as quickly as possible,
 'Sit down, she said and read the letter. These isn't any use now for you to remain in ignorance of your fathers address. You'll have to be strictly on the job from now on.
 But, remember" she lifted an ad- monishing finger, you mustn't let your face betray you when you go back into the room. There's some thing out of the ordinary about this affair of your fathers; som ethfng don't understand 1t all, and the few CT people know about 1t the better.
 "Of course you'll have to show the letter to Dioky. but let me talk to him first. I think I can frighten him into keeping hts usually garrulous tongue between his teeth. I wouldn't have shown you the letter until after the other guests had gone home. but I saw you were in an agony of un- easiness about it."
 T couldn't have waited" an- swered simply, and the words came through lips that were stiff. Then I took the letter and read 1t through.

WHO WILL BE OFFICERS

The fittest only will become Off
GERS. Men who show no aptitude in
the training camps will be discharg-
ed. Immature, weak-looking or I'M
presentable officers are absolutely out
of the question" says Adjutant Gen
eral Mccain. THE other requisite is
military efficiency, which applies both
the ability and the mental and physi-
cal energy to instruct, manage and
lead In conclusion Gen. Mccain
states that during the period of organ
ization of the first 100000 men. Off
GERS for the second 100000 must be
trained and selected. Many of these
will be selected from the reserve of
ficers, from the ranks of the regu-
lars, national guard or the selective
forces in the first increment and also
of the second series of officers, train
ing camps. Thereafter" he added
Officers will be obtained by promot-
ing officers and men already in the
service, thus giving those who have
volunteered or have been drafted for
military service full opportunity to
earn promotion to the exclusion of
those not in actual military service"

STOCK RAlSERS URGED TO KEEP
THEIR CATTLE AT HOME

Farmers and stock raisers in Flor
ida are being urged by dealers in cat
tie in this city to keep their stock at
home, in order that the supply of cat
tie in the state may not diminish to
such an extent that there will be a
shortage in local beef 1t is stated
upon good authority that more than
ffty-fye trainloads of cattle will be
shipped from northern and western
Florida within the next ninety days
for northern markets.
According to Williamson and Den
mis- at the Interstate Stock Yards, the
cause of these shipments of cattle
from Florida, is on account of there
being a scarcity OF beef stock in the
northern and western markets, and
the prices being slightly in advance
of the prices paid here However,
this condition has now been remedied
and the prices are the same, if any
thing in favor of the local market.
In speaking of the matter, officials
of the above firm declare that "Condi-
tiOns are extremely abnormal at all
the markets of the United States.
Stocker and feeder cattle that usually
go back to the farmer have been
slaughtered and will be slaughtered
all during the summer, developing a
condition that will result in a famine
of stockers and feeders in the early
fall at the markets. Feeders and
breeders are advised to buy their
stock early when prices are fair; if
they do not, they may face condition
when they cannot secure stock 1t is
to the interest of the farmer, stock
raiser and feeder to keep all the cat
tie possible in the south. The south
needs every animal she has and more

FELL FROM LOFT
HURT THEN WELL
How a Man Who Landed On
Wood Pile And Was Sore From
; Head to Foot Found
Quick Relief. i

Once upon a time Edwin Putnam,
who lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet of
Wendell Depot, Mass, climbed up into
q loft to get some building material,
just as many another man living in the
country must often do. Suddenly he
slipped and fell. Ten feet below was a
pile of wood, knotted and gnarled. 1t
was a nasty tumble, and Mr.. Putnam
was injured painfully in the back, he
was covered with bruises, and was sore
from head to foot.
The next day he bought a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment which had been re-
commended to him. Within very few
hours the soreness had vanished and
the iameness had disappeared. He was
an active man once more.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
all drug stores, 25c.. SOC. and $l.OO.

TEN FACTS WORTH KNOWING
ABOUT COLUMBIA COLLEGE
AT LAKE CITY, FLA.

In ten years it has had a total of
1850 students.
Some % men and women have re-
ceived A. B. diplomas.
About 40 young preachers have
been trained to be more efficient
workers in the kingdom.
Some SIS men and women, poor in
pocket, rich in mind and heart, have
been helped with work or scholar
ships.
Two years ago the Young Women's
Auxiliary, our working Baptist girls,
held one of the two first places in the
territory of the Southern Baptist con-
yention; they still stand among the
first.
Columbia College possesses, equal
ly with the state university and the
Tallahassee school for women, with
their vast incomes from the state, the
right to have its diplomas receive,
without state examination, certificates
TO teach in the public schools of Flor
ida.
In ten years Columbia has reached
the position of standard college.
The state university receives an
nually from the state and the national
government about 100000; the Tai
lahassee girls school gets each year
about $4,000; Columbia, without en-
dowment, receiving for some years an
average of but $1,000 a year, com
PEELED either to compete with state
schools in granting scholarships or to
have a greatly reduced student at
tendance, has had during ten years
an annual deficit of only $4,000. 1t is
marvellous that the debt of our col
lege is not $4,000 instead of $4,000.
No other college in the South, with
so small an income, or even with an
income three times as large, has done
in ten years more in and for educa-
ton.
Columbia, the only college in Flor
ida owned and governed by the Bap-
lists of the state, needs the help of
Florida Baptists, and needs it right
now, that it may meet its financial
obligations, without compelling trus-
tees and faculty to make all the sac
rifces, and that it may become, I'M
der God, the mightiest force that our
people can know for the onward
sweepof Baptist doctrines and infiu-
ence.
We ask your prayers, your interest,
your kind words, all the time; we ask
for some of your money for your col
lege from July l to September Is.
