j. 6. NAVAL CLUB
HOUSE To BE re-
MOOLtO At ONCE
ADMIRAL SIMS HAS APPROVED A
PLAN TO PROVIDE BETTER
QUARTERS FOR MEN WHEN
THEY GO ASHORE.

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLA, in
British Waters, Feb. 12.-The United
States Naavl Mems clubhouse, the
shore home of the sailors, is to be
enlarged. Vice Admiral William S..
Sims already has given his approval
t., the project, which is made neces-
sary by the ever-increasing size of the
American force here. The club was
built from funds contributed by gem
erous Americans in London, and is
the most popular rendezvous ashore,
not only for the sailors and their own
officers, but also for British sailors and
soldiers and their officers as well.
Vice Admiral Sims is frequent Wis
itor and it is not uncommon to see a
British admiral or commodore drop
i'll to watch the sailors at play in the
"onIy electrically lighted ,steam-heated
club in Ireland"
Nightly shows have just been intro
duced and are regular thing with
big shows on Saturday nights. The
Arightly affairs usually. consist Of NOV
les, always with comic film, but the
| week-end entertainment includes pic
lures and acts by talent from the ships
and from among the British Tommies
ashore, and it is surprising what a
great variety of talent there is among
the Americans and British here. The
newest thing is series of cartoons
by sketch artists discovered in the
fotilla. These cartoons on happen
ings in the fotilla or about town, are
thrown on the screen and produce
loud outlaws.
One which will be appreciated by
the folks back home depicted de-
stroyer dropping shells around the
German submarine U-59, which raided
shipping off Nantucket, at which time
the same ships and men who are to-
day chasing u-boats picked up the
crews. In the picture the frightened
commander is peeping out OF the
coming tower Below are the words :
SOAK him, fellows; it's our old friend
the U-53."

ATLANTA MAN ELOPES
With HIS own WIFE

SAVANNAH, Ga, February H.
While not wholly following the leg
endary Lochinvar, who came out Of
the west and galloped of with the
maiden Of his leart, Ward Mo~ehouse,
one-time Savannahian and newspaper
man of repute, came down from At
lanta some time yesterday morning
and late in the afternoon sped away
northward in an automobile with the
bride he won three months ago. but
whom he barely had time to call
wife" before delivering her back
tc her home as Miss Ruth Nisbet be-
cause of parental objection, but who,
fifteen minutes before that time, was
made Mrs. Morehouse by the Rev. J..
S. Wilder.
Involved in the flight of young
Morehouse and his wife are all the
elements of love and romance, alleged
intrigue, intercession of friends to no
end, the divorce courts and finally
the triumph of the truism that love
will find a way.
When Informed last night that Mr..
Morehouse had come to Savannah for
and spirited her daughter away in
an automobile, Mrs. A. K. Nisbet was
nearly overcome with grief. my
Cod" she exclaimed, this will kill
me-
Mr.. Morehouse, and Miss Nisbet that
was, have been sweethearts for years,
but Miss Nisbet's parents objected and
loves primrose path became studded
with rocks. However, despite their
opposition Mr.. Morehouse was permit
ted to call whenever it pleased him
to do so.
On Dec. end, Mr. Morehouse came
down from Atlanta, where he is en-
ployed on one of the afternoon papers,
called at the Nisbet home and during
the late afternoon the young people
went for a stroll. The intending
groom fortified himself with a mar
riage license and the two wendell
their way to the home of Rev. John
8. Wilder, where they were married
Returning to the brides home a
few minutes after the ceremony Mr.
Morehouse babe her goodbye and thai
night journeyed to Atlanta. Some
days after he was formerly served with
notice of suit for divorce filed in his
home city. Since that time, according
to repeated statements made by Mr.
Morehouse, he has been denied the
presence of his wife and barred from
communicating with her in any way
But it appears from the denouement
of Yesterday that Mr.. Morehouse has
lately been in communication with his
wife without the knowledge Of her
parents. At all events he came to Sa
vannah early yesterday morning and
fearing some sort of hindrance, made
arrangements for an auto trip to some
point on the Central where one might
board a train for Atlanta.
Yesterday afternoon shortly after z
o'clock, Mrs. Morehouse, nee Nisbet
accompanied by girl friend, left
home ostensibly to attend the movies
She met her husband soon after this
and the two sped away without leav-
message Of any kind.
Il am inexpressibly shocked" is
the way Mrs. Nisbet retired to the mat
ter last night. "It is impossible for
me to understand how my daughter
could do such thing"

DEVOTION TO HIS COUNTRY
OF LOUIS w. DUVAL
Especial to the Starr

Jacksonville, March 9.-Exemplify-
ing his love of country and his keen
appreciation of his obligation to that
country for the liberty that he has so
long enjoyed, L. w. Duval, chairman
of Marion county, has declined to fol-
low out his intentions of some weeks
ago to run for the state senate, but
will instead give all his spare time to
the work of promoting war savings
in his county, as well as to assist the
Red Cross. In letter written to the
state director at Jacksonville, Mr..
Duval makes known his decision and
a highly congratulatory letter has
been sent to him by Judge ]. F. C..
Griggs, state director.
Mr.. Duval has entered most en-
Enthusiastically into the work, is now
making splendid drive in his county
for the organization of war savings
societies. In his letter notifying the
state director of his unself1sh action
he says: 'T believe I can be of more
service to the cause by doing this
work than being state senator"
State Director Griggs points out
that this action of Mr.. Duva1 is one
of the many instances of splendid
patriotism that is being displayed by
the leading men in Florida and the
kind of patriotism that all real Amer
leans in the state are sure not to soon
forget.

Leaving out the large number of

to Miami, this winter, than ever be-
fore in the history of the city There

unusually successful tourist season,

the rest Of the state to the contrary.

The Star wouldn't "have it" that
there is any deficiency in Miami. The
magic City, is town whose growth
we have watched with pride and won
der-the more so that thirty years
ago we traced jungle paths where
now people throng its busiest streets,
and we will always rejoice in it's pros

FORT mccoy

Fort Mccoy, March 7.-Messrs.
nalboy and Summeril have beautifed
their homes west of Silver Lake by
clearing all distractions away, prun-
ing their groves, whitewashing, etc.
As soon as they are through moving
tie depot it would be good move for
all hands to set apart two days and
clean up our town and build a hard
road to the depot.
The writer has had his daughter,
Mrs. w. T. Buck and the grandbabies,
Marian and Helen, as visitors, fish,
bird, duck and chicken eaters during
the past ten days. Mrs. Buck cut her
visit short for fear of mumps and
measles. Nothing unusual occurred
i nthe household except granddad's
shaving brush was misplaced, and he
had to use three-inch paint brush
for hopping his face.
Mr.. John Grantham went to Jack
sonville Sunday and returned home
Tuesday night. He says the fair is
worth seeing.
Mrs. Haines Martin of Anthony is
here on a visit to her sister. Her
friends will be glad to hear of a de-
cided improvement in her health.
Mr.. G. w. Scofield was a business
visitor here a few days ago. His sup
porters in the coming election are
numbere dby the registered voters.
Mr.. Cowart has field of cotton up
and a good stand. He bids fair to
make a good farmer as we'll as saw
mill man.
A large crowd witnessed the dis
play of fireworks on Silver Lake Sat
urday night. The u. S. boat Helen,
carrying the U. S. colors and manned
by Messrs. Charlie Martin, Floyd
Martin, Sebe McQuaig and Wagnon,
attacked and set on fire three German
forts. The fort defenders were Messrs.
Lloyd Grantham, Walter Cowart, Ar
thur McQuaig and Jim Waldron. The
battle at fort No. 2 was of the sub
lime order and will long be remember
ed by the little ones. The only acct
dent occurred at this point. Mr.. Char
lie Martin, one of the boat crew, was
strucF on the side of the face by an
enemy ball. No danger was done.
Moving the depot will give US more
room to clean up, make more i'm
provements as we are now doing and
spread out into larger and more at
tractive little town.
Mr.. Dan Switzerland has fully de-
cided to put in at an early date COM
bination mill for making meal, critics,
grinding velvet beans, ETC., and a
place alongside for repairing anything
from an auto to a shotgun.
Judging from the preparation being
made there must be at least 300 acres
in and around Fort Mccoy that are
to be planted to cotton.
Mr.. Dan Switzerland has the con-
tract to move the depot from its pres
ent site out to the main line This
will save the road operators quite
little bit and inconvenience our citi-
zens a whole lot.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Melin have an
other welcome visitor this week in the
person of their daughter, Miss Olive.

There is not much use in careful
and patriotic men and women saving
bread and meat in order to feed loaf
ers. If everybody in the country
would work, there would not, after
the next harvest begins to come IN,
be any need for stinting. The truth is
that an immense proportion of the
supplies needed by fighting men and
workers goes to feed people who do
not work, who only half work Or less,
or who work at things unnecessary,
or which at least could be omitted
until the war is over. All the while
our farms are not fully titled and our
men as we'll as the suffering soldiers
and people of our ally nations across
the ocean, must stint (and may be
conquered) because there are not
enough ships to carry supplies to
them. Ocala and Marion county are
not worse off, perhaps not so badly
off, as the rest of the state, and other
states, in this regard, yet we have too
many idlers and semi-idlers. Let's get
together and make them work at
something useful, or else go on half
rations or no rations at all.

Ocala has more pretty shade trees
than any town of its size in the land,
but the matter is too often overdone.
Many lots have too many shade tres
and if every other one of the big oaks
was cut down and made into firewood,
so much needed, the property would
be better off for it. and in nearly all
cases the trees should be trimmed to
let the air and breezes circulate more
freely.

One DR.. Van Hood of Ocala wants
to see the girls and women of that
town-and of all towns and rural
places-taught the use of firearms.
He thinks that it is quite as important
for women to know how to use a gun
skilfully as it is for man. There are
many people who will agree with him
in this Miami Metropolis.

At a meeting at Oxford Saturday,
which was attended by Messrs. L. w.
Duval, w. j. Crosby, Geo. w. Scofeld
and others, Mr.. Duval announced that
he would not enter the race for the
state senate, to succeed Mr.. Terrell.
Mr.. Duval's reasons are fully set forth
in the dispatch from Jacksonville
printed elsewhere. Mr.. DuvaPs de-
cision is something of disappoint-
ment to large number of his friends
who have been urging him for the last
year to stand for the senatorial nom.
ination. Their disappointment how
ever is tempered by the realization
that in the work he is doing for the
Red Gross and for the financial branch
of the government, he is of more
value to the nation than he could be
by representing his district in the
state senate. Mr.. Duval, ever since
war was declared, has gone heart and
soul into every work in which he
could aid the nation By talent and
training, as well as by enthusiasm for
the greatest of causes, he is particu-
larry well adapted for the tasks he
has assumed. Mr.. Duval isn't even ga
dollar a year man." but he is one of
the not any too great number whose
services are given without money and
without price to the service of his
country. His friends will appreciate
the sacrifice which he. cheerfully
makes.
