school teams of Sanford and Ocala.
and Sanford came out the winner by
the very close score of % to 20.
The game was witnessed by the
largest crowd that has yet attended
basket ball game and while the
Ocala girls lost they put up a wonder
ful fight, and had not Sanford piled up
the 20 points in the first half to
Ocala's :, the score would have been
a whole lot different. The Olala girls
were not so confident in the first half.
perhaps on account of the write-ups
that have been appearing in the state
papers about the wonderful team that
Sanford has. hut Ocala's was every BIT
as good, and all those who were out To
see the game got their moneys worth
and more. and the Ocala team is to
be congratulated for putting up such
2 good fight In the last half when the

THE RIGHTS CT THE COUNTRY
BOY AND GIRL

The New York World can stand to
see the Hippodrome closed; it can
PUT up with lightless nights, but it
cannot stand to see the country lad
and lassie deprived of their birthright
in seeing the circus.
Along this line the World says:
In the good old days the circus did
not have to secure the permission OF
the railroad managers to move about
the country. 1t was its own master
and furnished its own locomotion. 10
travelled on its own legs and on it's
own wheels The camel and the zebra
and the ponies paraded in triumph
through county after county, and the
small boy went down the road to meet
them and get job carrying water to
the elephant, that admitted him to
the afternoon performance. But the
modern circus has become capitalistic.
IT wants case and comfort and luxury.
There is an easy answer to all this.
/ let US get back to the old-fashioned
circus with one ring and start the pa
rade promptly at 10 o'clock.
T And the roads are better now than
they were then The circus with is

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS ARE
~ PLANNING FOR NEW YEAR

C,tu:isfian NndsaNorers are Inowfns
forward into greater religious work
at the very beginning of the new
year of 1918. Many opportunities
await the boys and girls, young men
and women and even those persons
who have joined the Veterans AS
sociation. The constant training of
Endeavorers in the work for Christ
and the Church" qualities them for
any emergency that may offer itself
in church work.
Leaders in religious work are
about ready to establish some sort
of selective draft in church work.
The calls of war upon church work
ers have been so heavy that many
churches are crippled, and Volun-
teers to take the place of men that
have gone into the United States
Army are few. If the men at the
front are doing their bit for the
country, also in Young Mems Chris
tan Association and Christian EN-
deavor work it is very important that
the church people at home, at much
less cost and discomfort, try TO do
their bit in the various religious or
ganiZations.
A record is kept by the state Of
ficers of the Endeavorers OF the Key
stone state who have gone into tram
ing camps and to France and the
breach will be covered by other EN-
deavorers who will step into active
service.
