Va
Carbondale Item:-The attempt to
build up new political party on the
discomfort of the farmer, or on the
theory that he has not been treated
fairly by the government will fail.
The farmer has been amply protected
and the Indications are that he will be
throughout the year. The result, ac-
cording to observers, is to be record
planting and record prices. With
grain soaring, there will be no more
wheat, oats and barley. With the po-
tato crop being cleaned up through the
efforts of the food administrator, there
viii be at least the usual acreage in
that crop.

WILSON SPOKE
RINGING WORDS
Opened the Great Red Cross Cam
paign with an Inspiring
Address
ASSOCIATED Press)

New York, May 19.-The president
of the United States and commander
in-chief of the army and navy march,
ed on foot through Fifth avenue yes
terday, at the head of $4,000 soldiers
of mercy. Then standing in the re-
viewing stand he gravely saluted the
colors as the women of the Red Cross
filed past, in seemingly endless line,
bearing their flags as bravely and
wearing uniforms as proudly as the
nations fighting men.
The president spoke to an immense
gathering at the Metropolitan opera
house last night.
The president began by saying he
did not come to New York to tell of
the work of the Red Cross, but "to
tell what | think it all means. There
are two duties with which we are
standing face to face; first, to win the
war, and second, to win it greatly and
worthily."
"To win the war the United States
is determined to set no restriction on
the number of men to be sent t..
IuS IS-
affirming the purpose of America to
set no limit on its effort.
"As many men will go overseas as
ships can be found to carry them.
After referring to the statement that
five million men should go, "the Unit
ed States," he said, twill not be di-
verted by insincere peace talk from
the Teutonic powers. Their propo-
sals," he declared, "spring from de-
side to have a free hand in the east.
/ intend to stand by Russia as well as
France" he said. At this remark of
the president, the audience arose and
cheered.
"For the first time in history" said
Mr.. Wilson, "the world has seen an
unselfish war I cannot fight for
selfish purposes, but am proud to fight
for mankind" The president conclud-
ed by saying that he summoned the
American people to say how unani-
mously they were ready to sustain
the heart of the world by contributing
to the Red Cross.

THOMAS SHELTON CLAYTON
Another of Our Brave Marion County
Boys Has Been Finally
Mustered Out

The hand of aff1iction has again
been laid on the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fraser G. Clayton, and taken from it
Thomas Shelton Clayton, their second
Eson.
The Claytons are one of the country
families that make up more than half
the people, do more than half the
work and fighting, and bear more than
half the suffering for America. Two
of their three boys have answered
their country's call and, alas, the final
summons as well.
The oldest son, John William Clay
ton, served with Company A. He
went with our other boys to Camp
Wheeler, did his work faithfully, was
stricken down with pneumonia, and
after a gallant fight for life succumb-
ed. His remains were brought home
and laid to rest. with deep sorrow by
his relatives and nearest friends and
sadness by the community.
Hardly had the flowers faded on his
grave before the country called his
brother Thomas, who went with othel
selected men to Camp Jackson about
seven weeks ago. After few weeks
there he was transferred to Camp
Sewer, to be almost Immediately
stricken down with the same disease
that had carried his brother to the
grave, and after long, brave fight,
he too passed away.
Thomas Shelton Clayton was a
young man of twenty-five years. He
has lived all his life near Ocala. A
quiet, earnest, honest boy, he will be
mourned by all who knew him.
The remains of Private Clayton
accompanied by his father, who was
with him during his last hours, will
arrive in the city tomorrow at 1 p. m
The funeral services will be held at
/ the Christian church between A and
| 5 o'clock. Rev. R. F. Rogers aided by
some other minister will probably of
fciate. Young Clayton was a member
of the Woodmen of the World, and al
many members as possible will at
tend. They will lay him to rest by
the side of his brother in Greenwood
All respect should be paid the
memory of the young soldier and his
family which has suffered so much
yet keeps the fire of its patriotism
burning. Our business houses should
close during the funeral service and
as many of our people as can should
be present, bringing flowers.

GEORGE MACKAY JR.
AMONG THE MISSING

Mr.. and Mrs. George MacKay were
greatly grieved Saturday afternoon
to receive the following telegram
from the war department.:
"We are sorry to inform you that
your son. George MacKay, has been
missing in action since April 20th."
(Signed): General Mccain"
The bad news passed with almost
lightning rapidity from lip to lip, and
in a few minutes it was known all
over town.
Anything that happens to any one
of our boys is a personal loss or in
jury to all. so the trouble of the Mac
Kay family at once overshadowed our
entire city.
George MacKay Jr. is one of our
most intelligent and dependable young
men. At the time the war broke out,
he was a student in the Boston Tech
biological School, one of the highest
institutions of its sort in the land. He
volunteered at once, and trained at
Camp Upton with the famous Rain,
bow division, with which he went to
France. He was rapidly advanced,
had been promoted to a sergeantcy
and was recommended for commits
sion.
y There is some faint hope that
George has been wounded and is in a
French hospital, which has not yet
reported him to his own officers. Somt
foundation is given to this by the fact
that he had been slightly wounded,
an ear drum having been ruptured by
the explosion of shell near him, and
he was trying to keep this bad news
from his mother. While this hope is
faint, it is being cherished.
The most probable supposition is
that he is prisoner in Germany. In
that case he will be heard from in
time, news of prisoners on both sides
being transmitted to America and
Germany thru the Spanish embassy
in Berlin. which has charge of our af-
fairs.
Mr.. and Mrs. MacKay are bearing
up bravely under this sore trial
They have the deepest sympathy OF
all in their troubles.

WAR FUND WEEK
A Good Start Give Toward Raising in
Marion County Ten Thousand
Dollars for the Red Cross

MdEIOn SOunIy len lHOuSdIlu
Dollars for the Red Cross
A few weeks ago we began work
on the Liberty Bond campaign. The
whole country, including our county,
worked at the task with vigor and eff
ficiency, carrying it to a most sue
cessful conclusion and oversubscribing
the loan by at least 40 per cent.
This week we have another cam.
paign ito raise hundred million dol
lars for the Red Cross. Marion coun.
tvs quota is $4,000. We ought to
raise it and so per cent over.
The money is for our suffering
friends in Europe, and for our own
soldiers and sailors, and theirs, who
stand like wall of steel between our
homes and suffering such as our allies
are enduring.
Buying liberty bonds is business
it's scattering bread on the waters,
with the certainty the bread will come
back with butter on it. It's insurance
for fire and life. Giving to the Red
Cross is sentiment-it's duty, it's
lessening the suffering, Tightening the
toll, of those who are offering and in
many instances giving all for us.
Greater love hath no man." and this
love for God and home and native
land is what keeps the rampant on
land and sea between our quiet homes
and the most cruel enemy who ever
defiled the handiwork of God.
Let US give all we can and then
some. Let no one think he can do too
much. We may give till it hurts, but
our soldiers and sailors have gone to
give, if necessary, till they die.
The weeks work opened auspicious-
ly. The workers and speakers went
out thruout the county Sunday and
everywhere met most encouraging
reception.
In Ocala Sunday Evening
The campaign in Ocala opened at
the Temple Sunday evening, when the
house was filled to hear Rev. Bunyan
Stephens, ex-pastor of the Baptist
church and Z. NJ. C. A. worker with
the American army.
The stage had been beautifully dec
GRATED for the morning services, and
no change was needed for the eve
ming.
The service began by singing the
Star Spangled Banner, after which
Mrs. Hampton, accompanied by Miss
Gertie Peyser, sang two of her beau
tiful songs. Then Mr.. Stephens, look
ing very like soldier in his neat Y.
M. C. A. uniform, delivered a telling
address, some of which brought ring
ing applause, while the more pathetic
notes drew many tears.
Mr.. Lester Lucas, accompanied by
Miss Byrd Wartmann, sang two pat
riotic songs, and the services closed
with America" and the prayer verse,
| by the congregation.
The members of the different COM
mittees buckled down to work early
this morning, and it is evident from
what little they have time to say that
they are meeting encouraging results

FROM CAMP AND FRONT

Those clever boys, Frank Churchill
and Sam Mathews, who made such
good records in the Ocala banks, and
have been making others at Camp
Johnston, are likely to soon be "over
there"
Up to date, Wayne Ten Eyck holds
the Marion county record for going to
France. So far as we know, he had
been in the service less time than any
other Marion county boy before going
over.
Laurie Benjamin, who has been in
the base hospital at Camp Wadsworth
for the last three weeks, is out again,
the surgeons having pronounced him
as sound as Florida pine knot. He
is with Company M, First Pioneer In
fantry, which confidently expects to
lead in the march on Berlin.
We take the following interesting
clipping from "Trench and Camp"
published at Camp Johnston:
can interesting book is being dis
played at Y. M. G. A. No. l by Build
ing Secretary Bunyan Stephens, AND
written on its fly leaf is a story that
is closely connected with history. This
book has served soldiers in prison
during the civil war, and has helped
them pass away their idle hours, and
now it is ready to fill similar place
m fh0 Tho A. Ioof ,f
this book shows that it was the prop
erty of James M. Mayo, major of the
Fourth North Carolina cavalry, Con-
federate army, who was confined at
the United States military prison at
John Island, Ohio. In one corner
there appears stamp reading, "Ex-
amined, John j. Manor, captain 12S
O. V. /. and superintendent prison
roll and prison correspondence, John
Island, O." The book is dated May
18, 1864. The name of the book is The
True Path, and it was written by Rev
Joseph NJ. Atkinson of Raleigh, N. g.
This interesting relic of the civil war
was found in a box of books received
by Secretary Stephens from the ladies
of Dickson Chapter, Uunited Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy of Ocala, Fla.
and is presented to the library of the
|, Army Y. NJ C. A. at Camp Johnston
for the use of the soldiers. 1t has at
tracted a great deal of interest from
all who have seen it."
Word has reached Gainesville that
the machine gun company of the
124th infantry will leave Camp
Wheeler soon for Camp Hancock, al
Augusta, Ga. This company was re.
cruited in Gainesville and is composed
largely of young men from this city
and vicinity, hence our people viii
have more than a passing interest In
